Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a base for securing an object for domestic use, in particular a bathroom accessory, on a support such as a wall, in which two elongated holes extending perpendicularly relative to one another are provided to allow passage to fastening means adapted to be implanted in the support to fix it on the latter, and which is provided with a cover sized to cover the fastening means.
  • the bases currently used for attaching bathroom accessories and other objects for domestic use generally comprise two spaced holes each intended to receive a conventional fastening means such as a screw.
  • EP-A-0 857 449 discloses a base for attaching a bathroom accessory to a wall, this base comprising two fixing elements each comprising, on either side of two locking jaws, two elongated holes extending perpendicularly one of relative to each other and intended to allow passage to fastening means such as screws, and two covers for covering the fastening means.
  • the present invention proposes to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks and, for this purpose, it relates to a base having the structure indicated in the first paragraph above and characterized in that the two elongated holes form a cross comprising four rectilinear branches each having a length appropriate to allow the passage of at least two attachment means intended to be implanted at distance from each other in the support.
  • the particular length of the elongated holes makes it possible to adapt the distance of the fastening means (screws or other) to the distance of the two pre-existing holes to be reused.
  • the branches of the cross intersect in the center of the base.
  • the base comprises a stud intended to receive the cover, and each of the two elongated holes forming the cross is subdivided into two distinct rectilinear parts located in the extension of one another, the pad being located between the straight portions of each of the two elongated holes.
  • the object for domestic use is secured to the base while the pad is cylindrical and has an external thread adapted to cooperate with a thread formed in the cover.
  • the cover can be threaded on the pad, between the base and an object for domestic use intended to be fixed on said pad.
  • the stud may be cylindrical and have a lateral notch while the object for domestic use may include a blind hole through which it can be threaded on the stud, the end of a screw pin screwed into a threaded hole provided in the domestic use object so as to open into the blind hole being intended to penetrate into the lateral notch of the stud.
  • This solution is particularly economical since it makes it possible to use a single type of base to fix different household objects.
  • the stud may advantageously comprise a polygonal base intended to penetrate into a correspondingly shaped orifice formed in the cover so as to immobilize the latter in rotation.
  • the assembly consisting of the cover and the base, it is desirable that it comprises on its face opposite the support a recess surrounding the periphery of each of the two elongated holes.
  • the heads thereof can indeed be housed in the recesses, which prevents them from protruding on the base and therefore reduces the space between it and the cache.
  • the present invention also relates to an object for domestic use, including a bathroom accessory, comprising a base comprising at least one of the characteristics described above.
  • the bases that can be seen in Figures 1 to 4 are integral with a bathroom accessory such as a glass holder, a soap dish or a towel ring ring. They could, however, be integral with a bathroom accessory such as a paper unwinder, or a kitchen accessory such as a salt box or a matchbox, without departing from the scope of the present invention.
  • the base shown in Figures 1 and 2 is in the general form of a disc 1 extending beyond its periphery by a tab 2 extending perpendicular to its anterior face and ending with a room accessory. baths not shown.
  • This base comprises two elongated holes 3, 4 having the same length and intersecting at right angles to the center of the disc 1.
  • Each of the holes 3, 4 is rectilinear and has a length sufficient for it to receive two screws 5 intended to be implanted in a wall 6 in order to fix the base against it.
  • the latter may be located vertically or horizontally.
  • the base comprises an annular flange 7 projecting from the periphery of its anterior face and intended to retain a cover 8 provided to make the elongate holes 3, 4 and the screws 5 invisible.
  • outer periphery of the cover 8 and the inner periphery of the flange 7 are threaded, which allows to fix the cover 8 on the base by screwing.
  • the base shown in Figures 1 and 2 further comprises, on the side of its anterior face, a recess 9 surrounding the periphery of the elongate holes 3 and 4.
  • This recess serves as a housing for the heads of the screws and allows the cover 8 to come directly against the front face of the base.
  • the assembly formed by the base and the cover can therefore have a small thickness.
  • each of the two elongate holes comprises two distinct straight portions 3a, 3b; 4a, 4b located in the extension of one another, and in that a stud 10 for receiving a cover 11 is located between the two straight portions of each of the elongated holes.
  • the stud 10 is cylindrical and carries a thread intended to cooperate with a thread formed in the cover 11.
  • the front face of the base comprises a recess 9a surrounding the periphery of each of the straight portions of the elongated holes and preventing the heads of the screws 5 form projections.
  • the base visible in FIG. 5 is in the form of a disc comprising two elongated holes having the same shape and the same function as those of the elongated holes 3, 4 of the base visible in FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • This base comprises a peripheral surface in the form of a truncated cone whose small base is applied against the wall 6, and is covered by a cover 12 in the form of a cup.
  • the cover 12 has a bottom 13 provided with a central hole 14 and is connected to a bathroom accessory 15 via a screw 16 passing through the central hole 14 and whose head bears against the inner face. from the bottom 13.
  • the cover also has a side skirt 17 whose inner peripheral surface has the same conicity as the outer peripheral surface of the base.
  • the inner peripheral surface of the skirt of the cover is in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the base, while the cover 12 is fixed on the latter by a set screw 18.
  • the base visible in FIG. 6 is in the form of a disc comprising two elongated holes having the same shape and the same function as those of the elongated holes of the base visible in FIGS. 3 and 4.
  • This base comprises a cylindrical stud 19 located between the two straight portions of each of the elongated holes and having a lateral notch 20.
  • cover 21 in the form of a cup intended to completely cover it.
  • This cup comprises a bottom 22 provided with a central hole 23 and is intended to be threaded onto the stud 19.
  • a bathroom accessory 24 comprising a blind hole 25 is also intended to be threaded onto the stud 19, following the cover 21.
  • Fixing the cover 21 and the accessory 24 on the pad 19 can be provided by means of a needle screw 26 received in a threaded hole 27 formed in the accessory 24 so as to open into the blind hole 25.
  • the cover 21 also includes a side skirt 28 intended to surround the side wall of the base when the cover 21 and the accessory 24 are fixed on the pad 19.
  • the base visible in FIG. 7 differs from that just described with reference to FIG. 6 in that the stud 19 comprises a polygonal base 28 intended to penetrate into a correspondingly shaped orifice formed in a protuberance 29 located on the inner face of the cover 21, in the extension of the central hole 23.
