In den Figuren 1 und 2 der Zeichnung ist jeweils der rückwärtige Rand einer Toilettenschüssel 1 im Schnitt gezeigt, in dem sich zwei mit Abstand voneinander angeordnete Durchstecköffnungen 2 befinden. Da beide Durchstecköffnungen 2 gleich ausgebildet und spiegelbildlich zueinander angeordnet sind, ist in den Figuren 1 und 2 der Zeichnung jeweils nur eine Durchstecköffnung 2 gezeigt. In dieser Durchstecköffnung 2 befindet sich jeweils ein Befestigungselement 3. Das Befestigungselement3 ist beispielsweise aus Kunststoff - es kann auch Metall sein - gefertigt und weist eine winkelförmige Gestaltung auf. Das Befestigungselement 3 besteht - im montierten Zustand - aus einem horizontalen, einen kreisförmigen Querschnitt aufweisenden Zapfen 4, dessen Länge unterschiedlich ausgebildet sein kann. Die Länge des Zapfens 4 hängt davon ab, ob derselbe nur eine Toilettenbrille oder eine Toilettenbrille und einen Toilettendeckel aufzunehmen hat. Dabei wird der Zapfen 4 in die entsprechenden Öffnungen von Toilettenbrille und/oder Toilettendeckel eingesteckt.In Figures 1 and 2 of the drawing is the rear edge of a toilet bowl 1 shown in section in which there are two through openings arranged at a distance from each other 2 are located. Since both through openings 2 equally designed and arranged in mirror image to each other are only one in Figures 1 and 2 of the drawing Push-through opening 2 shown. Located in this push-through opening 2 each one fastener 3. The fastener 3 is made of plastic, for example - it can also be metal be - manufactured and has an angular shape on. The fastener 3 is - in the assembled state - From a horizontal, circular cross-section Pin 4, the length of which is formed differently can be. The length of the pin 4 depends on whether it is the same just toilet glasses or toilet glasses and one Has to take toilet lid. The pin 4 is in the corresponding openings in toilet seat and / or toilet lid plugged in.

An den Zapfen 4 schließt sich nach unten ein Schaft 5 an, der zumindest über einen großen Teil seiner Länge mit Gewinde versehen ist. Mit Abstand von dem Zapfen 4 ist auf dem Schaft 5 eine Scheibe 6 vorgesehen, die in vorteilhafter Weise einstückig mit dem Schaft 5 ausgebildet ist. Mit dieser Scheibe 6 stützt sich das Befestigungselement 3 auf der Oberseite der Toilettenschüssel 1 ab, während der weitere Teil des Schaftes 5 in die Öffnung bzw. aus derselben herausragt. An der Unterseite der Scheibe 6 liegt nun gemäß dem Ausführungsbeispiel der Figur 1 eine Hülse 7 an, die über mindestens zwei bogenförmige Spangen 8 mit einer weiteren Hülse 9 verbunden ist. Es müssen mindestens zwei Spangen 8, besser jedoch drei oder vier Spangen 8 vorgesehen sein, von denen jedoch die Zeichnung zur besseren Darstellung jeweils nur zwei Spangen 8 erkennen läßt. Die beiden Hülsen 7,9 und die Spangen 8 sind einstückig gefertigt und bestehen entweder aus Metall oder einem geeigneten Kunststoff. Damit die Hülsen 7,9 und die Spangen 8 ihre Lage auf dem Schaft 5 beibehalten, befindet sich an der Unterseite der Hülse 9 eine Mutter 10, die auf das mit Gewinde versehene Teil des Schaftes 5 aufgeschraubt ist. Durch entsprechendes Drehen der Mutter 10 kann nun der Abstand zwischen derselben und der Scheibe 6 verändert werden. Wird dieser Abstand nun verkürzt, beulen die Spangen 8 weiter nach außen aus. In Abhängigkeit von der Ausbeulung dieser Spangen 8 kann nun der Sitz des Befestigungselementes 3 in der Durchstecköffnung 2 beeinflußt bzw. verändert werden. Normalerweise wird die Ausbeulung der Spangen 8 so gewählt, daß dieselben das Befestigungselement 3 in der Durchstecköffnung 2 sichern. Sollte die auftretende Klemmwirkung nachlassen, muß die Mutter 10, die auch als Flügelmutter ausgebildet sein kann, geringfügig nachgezogen werden.A shaft 5 closes at the bottom of the pin 4 at least over a large part of its length with thread is provided. At a distance from the pin 4 is on the Shaft 5 a disc 6 is provided, which is advantageous is integrally formed with the shaft 5. With this disc 6, the fastener 3 is supported on the top of the Toilet bowl 1, while the other part of the shaft 5 protrudes into or out of the opening. On the bottom the disc 6 now lies according to the embodiment of the figure 1 a sleeve 7, which has at least two arcuate clasps 8 is connected to a further sleeve 9. At least two clips 8, but better three or four clips 8 be provided, of which, however, the drawing for better Representation shows only two clips 8 each. The two Sleeves 7.9 and the clasps 8 are made in one piece and consist of either metal or a suitable plastic. So that the sleeves 7,9 and the clasps 8 their position on the shaft 5 maintained, there is a on the underside of the sleeve 9 Nut 10 on the threaded part of the shaft 5 is screwed on. By turning the nut 10 accordingly can now change the distance between the same and the disc 6 become. If this distance is shortened, the bulge Clasps 8 further outwards. Depending on the bulge these clips 8 can now be the seat of the fastener 3 influenced or changed in the push-through opening 2 become. The bulge of the clasps 8 is normally selected so that that the same the fastener 3 in the push-through opening 2 secure. Should the clamping effect occur must subside, the nut 10, which is also designed as a wing nut can be slightly tightened.

Bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel der Figur 2 ist zunächst eine weitere Mutter 11 vorgesehen, die einstückig mit einer anders geformten Scheibe 6 ausgebildet ist. Ferner sind die ausgebeulten Spangen 8 direkt an die Muttern 10,11 angeschlossen und in vorteilhafter Weise einstückig mit denselben ausgebildet. Bei der Montage wird nun zunächst die Mutter 11 mit der Scheibe 6 auf dem mit Gewinde versehen Teil des Schaftes 5 aufgedreht. Bei diesem Aufdrehen muß nun darauf geachtet werden, daß dann, wenn sich die Mutter 10 dem Schaft 5 nähert, die Spangen 8 entsprechend der angestrebten Vorspannung ausgebeult werden, bevor auch die Mutter 10 auf das Gewinde des Schaftes 5 aufgedreht werden. Erst danach werden beide Muttern 10,11 so weit auf den Schacht 5 aufgedreht, bis sich die Mutter 11 am Ende des Gewindes befindet. Damit ist die Endlage der Mutter 11 mit der Scheibe 6 gesichert. Bei einem Nachlassen der Klemmwirkung muß hier die Mutter 10 vollkommen gelöst und eine weitere Ausbeulung der Spangen 8 von dem erneuten Aufschrauben durchgeführt werden.In the exemplary embodiment in FIG. 2 there is initially one additional mother 11 provided that is integral with another shaped disc 6 is formed. Furthermore, the bulging out Clasps 8 connected directly to the nuts 10, 11 and advantageously integrally formed with the same. During assembly, the nut 11 is now first with the Washer 6 is screwed onto the threaded part of shaft 5. When turning this up, care must now be taken that when the mother 10 approaches the shaft 5, the Clasps 8 bulged out according to the desired bias be before the nut 10 on the thread of the shaft 5th be turned up. Only then will both nuts become 10.11 screwed far on the shaft 5 until the mother 11 on End of the thread. This is the end position of the mother 11th secured with the disc 6. If the clamping effect wears off the mother 10 must be completely solved here and another Bulging the clasps 8 carried out by re-screwing become.

Bei den dargestellten Ausführungsbeispielen ragt jeweils der Schaft 5 der Befestigungselemente 3 noch um ein vorgegebenes Maß aus der Durchstecköffnung 2 heraus. Dies ist jedoch nicht unbedingt erforderlich, da die Funktion der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtungen auch dann gewährleistet ist, wenn der Schaft 5 kürzer ausgebildet ist und nicht mehr aus der Durchstecköffnung 2 herausragt. In Abänderung der erläuterten Ausführungsbeispiele ist es möglich die Spangen 8 durch ein hülsenartiges, in der Mitte nach außen ausgebeultes Vorteil aus elastischem Werkstoff zu ersetzen. Auch hier ist es möglich, die angestrebte Klemmkraft in der Durchstecköffnung 2 zu erreichen.In the illustrated embodiments protrudes in each case the shaft 5 of the fasteners 3 is still a predetermined Measure out of push-through opening 2. However, this is not absolutely necessary, since the function of the invention Devices is guaranteed even if the Shaft 5 is shorter and no longer from the push-through opening 2 protrudes. In modification of the exemplary embodiments explained it is possible to use a sleeve-like, advantage bulged out in the middle to replace elastic material. It is also possible here to achieve the desired clamping force in the push-through opening 2.
