Definitions
- the invention relates to WC bowls and particularly to WC bowls comprising tools for facilitating the mounting thereof and to said tools for facilitating the mounting of WC bowls.
- WC bowls are mounted in sanitary facilities of apartments or the like.
- sanitary facilities such as the floors of bathrooms, have inclinations, i.e. declivities, for leading any water on the floor to the floor drain.
- the gap between the WC bowl and the floor is sealed with a load-bearing mass, and optionally further fastened with screws or the like to the mass or to the floor.
- Publication CA 2066966 A1 discloses a screw arrangement intended for mounting the mounting ring of a toilet bowl.
- the mounting rings of the toilet bowl are intended to increase the distance between the toilet bowl and the floor.
- the screw used for the mounting provides a very small adjustment gap for stabilizing the toilet bowl, but simultaneously results in the need to make several sealing joints both at the screw head and between the toilet bowl and the floor.
- the object of the invention is to provide a WC bowl and a mounting base attachable to the WC bowl in a manner solving the above- mentioned problems.
- the object of the invention is achieved with a WC bowl and a mounting base for the WC bowl, which are characterized by what is stated in the independent claims. Preferred embodiments of the invention are described in the dependent claims.
- the WC bowl according to the invention is based on being provided with one or more mounting bases, enabling the mounting of the WC bowl in a horizontal plane irrespective of the direction or magnitude of the inclination of the mounting foundation.
- An advantage of the WC bowl of the invention is a significantly easier mounting thereof.
- the mounting may be performed without any loose components to be placed under the bowl.
- the mounting of the WC bowl of the invention significantly quickens compared with the previous manner of mounting, the adjustment into the horizontal position being a simple action.
- An advantage of the adjustable mounting base of the invention is that, when required, this mounting base may be fastened to the WC bowl before the mounting for supporting it horizontally during the mounting phase.
- the mounting base of the invention is simply adaptable to all known WC bowl models. In view of industrial production, the mounting base is a simple product, and providing a WC bowl with mounting readiness for joining the base does not cause additional costs in the production process of the bowl.
- Figure 1 shows the lower portion of a WC bowl according to an embodiment of the invention seen from below
- Figure 2 shows the lower portion of a WC bowl according to a second embodiment of the invention seen from below;
- Figure 3 shows a side view of a WC bowl of the invention
- Figure 4 shows an example of an adjustment base for a WC bowl.
- Figure 1 shows the lower portion of a WC bowl of the invention with the inner side of the lower portion of the WC bowl visible.
- Said frame portion 1 comprises a lower surface 2 intended, during the mounting, to be positioned against a mounting foundation, which is typically a floor.
- the WC bowl of the invention comprises one or more mounting bases 5.
- two mounting bases 5 are shown, positioned on opposite sides of the WC bowl.
- the mounting base 5 which is shown in more detail in Figure 4, is fastened to the inner surface of the lower portion of the WC bowl in a manner enabling the adjustment of a support surface 51 of the mounting base to extend below a plane constituted by the lower surface 2 of the WC bowl. This being so, the mounting base 5 supports the WC bowl, and the mounting base enables the adjustment of the WC bowl to the horizontal plane despite the inclinations of the floor.
- the mounting base is fastened to the inner surface of the lower portion of the WC bowl by gluing, for example.
- the mounting base comprises a mounting face 52, which is a substantially planar plate surface enabling a reliable fastening of the mounting base.
- the fastening to the WC bowl may also be performed in other manners.
- the mounting base comprises an adjustable projection 53, which constitutes the support surface 51.
- the adjustable projection is for instance a screw component, such as a screw or the like provided with threading, that can be threaded in a plate component 54 of the mounting base, the component being similarly threaded for receiving the screw component 53. Consequently, the mounting base 5 according to the embodiment shown in Figure 1 can be adjusted by screwing the screw component 53, whereby the support surface 51 of the screw component approaches the plane constituted by the lower surface of the WC bowl or is pulled back therefrom.
- the head of the adjustable projection 53 i.e. the screw component, is arranged as a nut head serving as the support surface.
- a nut head is advantageous, since it makes the adjustment of the projection simple by the use of a tool intended for screwing the nut.
- the mounting base is shown to be composed of a plate having an angle of about 90 degrees.
- One of the planes separated by the angle constitutes the plate component 54 and the other the mounting face 52.
- the projection 53 is arranged in the plate component 54 and has an adjustable length.
- the mounting base of Figure 4, mounted in Figure 1 is intended to be fastened from the mounting face to the inner surface of the lower portion of a conventional WC bowl in such a manner that the projection is adjustable to bring the WC bowl to a horizontal position when being mounted on an inclined surface.
- the strength of the fastening of the mounting base to the WC bowl does not have to endure the loads directed to the WC bowl during use.
- the simplest manner of fastening the mounting base is gluing, which enables the supporting of the weight of the WC bowl.
- a WC bowl comprising the mounting base of Figure 4 is mounted by bringing the WC bowl into the desired, i.e. typically a horizontal, position by using the mounting bases.
- Load-bearing mounting mass or the like is then applied between the lower portion of the WC bowl and the mounting foundation, the mounting mass thus receiving the weights of the WC bowl and the user.
- the mounting base of the embodiment supports the WC bowl only during the mounting.
- the mounting is further completed by fastening the WC bowl to the surface in the desired manner by using screws, for example.
- FIG. 2 shows a second embodiment of the WC bowl of the invention.
- the mounting bases are arranged fastened to each other in such a manner that the adjustable projections 53 are fastened adjustably to a support plate 64 that extends from one edge of the lower surface of the WC bowl to the other and bears on the lower surface of the WC bowl.
- the support plate 64 is bent such that the ends of the support plate can be located at the lower edge of the WC bowl and the surface receiving the adjustable projections 53 of the support plate inside the lower portion of the WC bowl.
- the adjustable projections are preferably composed of a screw component, allowing the distance of the adjustable projections from the lower edge of the WC bowl to be adjusted by screwing the projections.
- threaded holes are provided in the support plate for receiving the projections, adjustable by screwing, in the manner shown in Figure 2.
- the support plate extending from one side of the WC bowl to the other is mounted in position for instance when the hardening mass used in the manufacture of the WC bowl is still partly soft.
- the support plate can be positioned in such a manner that the ends thereof that are placed on the lower surface of the WC bowl are pressed against the lower surface.
- the ends of the support plate can be pressed only against the inner edges of the lower surface of the WC bowl, in which case the support plate mounted under the WC bowl cannot be detected at all.
- the mounting base according to Figure 2 comprising a support plate 64 for the adjustable bases, is intended to support the weights of both the bowl itself and that of the user of the WC bowl. From the adjustable bases, the weight is transferred to the frame of the WC bowl via the support plate.
- the support surfaces 51 of the adjustable projections are shown to be composed of circular feet. The purpose of the feets is to distribute the weight of the WC bowl to a larger support surface on the mounting foundation and generate a larger friction between the mounting foundation and the WC bowl.
- the mounting of the WC bowl is simple.
- the WC bowl is positioned in place, and the inclinations of the mounting foundation are taken into consideration by adjusting the mounting bases until the WC bowl is in the desired, i.e. generally in a horizontal, position.
- the gap remaining between the WC bowl and the mounting foundation may then be filled with a mass used for sealing, and the WC bowl may be fastened with screws to the mounting foundation.
- the mass used does not have to be a load-bearing mass, since the structure of the embodiment of Figure 2 supports the WC bowl and the user of the bowl.
- Figure 3 shows a WC bowl 31 of the invention on a mounting foundation 32.
- the WC bowl is tilted backward relative to the mounting foundation, since the mounting foundation is inclined forwardly (in the figure, to the left). Accordingly, the WC bowl of the invention is adjusted to the horizontal plane by using the adjustable mounting bases 51.
- Figure 3 is shown without any seaming or mounting mass to be optionally added between the WC bowl and the mounting foundation.
