This means, that the decorative hood on the cover plate in different Distances can be fixed, which Dimensional inaccuracies on the cover plate and / or the Decorative hood and unevenness in the mounting wall can be compensated are.
  • That embodiment is the invention particularly simple, in which the decorative hood is flanged to the clamping ring.
  • the decorative hood it is generally a metallic one Part, while the clamping ring is usually made of plastic consists.
  • the flanging is a particularly cheap one Procedure, a connection between these from different Materials to effect existing parts.
  • Each spring tab can have a curved transition area have, which at one end to the ring body of the clamping ring is formed and at the other end with a locking area connected, which is relative to the axis of the Through openings facing and from the axis of the Through-openings bearing boundary surface.
  • This curved transition area facilitates the in radial direction (related to the through openings "compensating movement" taking place from cover plate and decorative hood), which the spring tabs when locking and when releasing the cooperating locking devices have to perform.
  • a groove can be made in the inner surface of the clamping ring be formed in which an O-ring lies.
  • This O-ring not only serves to prevent water from entering between the decorative cap and the cover rosette in the to prevent space behind; it forms at the same time a "friction brake", which the decorative cap of the Flush-mounted fitting holds within the cover rosette.
