Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for mounting a toilet or the like to a floor by means of a floor attachment fastened to the floor by means of screws. It also relates to a mounting assembly for carrying out this method.
  • a toilet is mounted to a floor by means of screws in pre-made holes in the bottom bead of the toilet bowl. These screws will penetrate the waterproofing or insulating layer required to be provided between the subfloor and the flooring material, so that certain access for water is permitted past the waterproofing layer, which can lead to serious water damage.
  • the subfloor is provided with the waterproofing layer after the stud screws have been attached, which means that a full sealing also at the screws can be guaranteed.
  • a floor attachment 1 may be utilized for fastening a toilet, illustrated in Fig 1 by its bowl 2, to a floor 3.
  • This attachment is conventionally mounted to the floor by screws, if necessary screwed down into plugs in pre-drilled holes.
  • the bowl 2 is placed in correct position over the attachment 1, holes are drilled in the attachment flanges, as is illustrated to the right in Fig 1, and the bowl is attached to the attachment 1 by means of screws 4 through holes present in a bottom bead of the bowl, as is illustrated to the left in Fig 1.
  • the invention is concerned with the fastening of the floor attachment 1 to the floor 3 in a completely watertight fashion.
  • stud screws 5 are used in the following way:
  • the stud screws 5 are attached to the subfloor 6, either by simply screwing down the stud screws, if the subfloor is for example of wood (as is shown to the left in Fig 1), or by pre-drilling holes and providing plugs 7 in these holes before screwing down the stud screws, if the subfloor is for example of concrete (as is shown to the right in Fig 1).
  • the subfloor 6 When the stud screws 5 are firmly attached to the subfloor 6, the latter is provided with a waterproofing or insulating layer 7, and it is hereby insured that full sealing against the stud screws 5 is obtained.
  • a flooring 8 (for example floor tiles) is then provided above the waterproofing layer 7.
  • the flooring may be built up of several layers, of which one may be glue.
  • the floor attachment 1 When the flooring 8 is laid, the floor attachment 1 is placed over the fixed stud screws 5 and attached thereto by means of nuts 9 with intermediate washers 10, as is shown in Fig 2.
  • the toilet bowl 2 is then fastened to the floor attachment 1 as described above.
  • the invention is mainly directed to the fastening of water toilets to floors but is equally applicable when any article shall be fastened without destroying the waterproofing condition of the material to which the article shall be fastened.
