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 Befestigungselement 3 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, the rear edge is one Toilet bowl 1 shown in section, in which there are two at a distance from each other arranged through openings 2 are. Since both through openings 2 are of the same design and are arranged in mirror image to one another is shown in the figures 1 and 2 of the drawing, only one push-through opening 2 is shown. In this Push-through opening 2 there is a fastening element 3 each Fastening element 3 is, for example, made of plastic - it can also be metal - manufactured and has an angular design. The fastener 3 consists - in the assembled state - of a horizontal, a circular Cross-section pin 4, the length of which can be designed differently can. The length of the pin 4 depends on whether it is only toilet glasses or has to take toilet glasses and a toilet lid. The Pin 4 in the corresponding openings of 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 Ausfühnrngsbeispiel 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 adjoins the pin 4 at the bottom, which at least has one much of its length is threaded. At a distance from the pin 4 a disc 6 is provided on the shaft 5, which is advantageously in one piece is formed with the shaft 5. With this disc 6, the fastener is supported 3 on top of the toilet bowl 1, while the rest of the Shaft 5 protrudes into or out of the opening. At the bottom of the According to the exemplary embodiment in FIG. 1, disk 6 now lies against a sleeve 7 which via at least two arcuate clasps 8 with a further sleeve 9 connected is. At least two clasps 8, but better three or four Clasps 8 may 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 are either made of metal or a suitable plastic. So that the sleeves 7.9 and the clasps 8 their position maintain the shaft 5, there is a nut on the underside of the sleeve 9 10, which is screwed onto the threaded part of the shaft 5. By appropriate rotation of the nut 10 can now the distance between them and the disc 6 can be changed. If this distance is shortened, the bulge Clasps 8 further outwards. Depending on the bulge of this Clasps 8 can now be the seat of the fastener 3 in the push-through opening 2 can be influenced or changed. Usually the bulge of the Clasps 8 selected so that the same fastener 3 in the through hole 2 secure. If the clamping effect occurs, the Nut 10, which can also be designed as a wing nut, slightly tightened become.

Bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel der Figur 2 ist zunächst eine weitere Mutter 11 vorgesehen, die einstückig mit einer anders geformten Scheibe 6 ausgebildet ist. Femer 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 first a further nut 11 provided which is integrally formed with a differently shaped disc 6. The bulged clasps 8 are also connected directly to the nuts 10, 11 and advantageously formed in one piece with the same. During installation the nut 11 is now provided with the washer 6 on the threaded Part of the shaft 5 turned on. When turning this up, attention must now be paid to it that when the nut 10 approaches the shaft 5, the clasps 8 be bulged according to the desired pre-tension before the Nut 10 are screwed onto the thread of the shaft 5. Only after that unscrew both nuts 10, 11 on the shaft 5 until the nut 11 on End of the thread. This is the end position of the nut 11 with the washer 6 secured. If the clamping effect decreases, the nut 10 completely solved and a further bulge of the clasps 8 from the renewed Unscrewing.

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 the illustrated embodiments, the shaft 5 projects in each case Fastening elements 3 by a predetermined amount from the push-through opening 2 out. However, this is not absolutely necessary since the function of the The devices according to the invention are also guaranteed when the shaft 5 is shorter and no longer protrudes from the push-through opening 2.
