Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Befestigungsanordnung zum Befestigen einer Sanitärarmatur an einer Arbeitsplatte, die eine obere Deckplatte und eine davon beabstandete untere Deckplatte aufweist, mit einem Befestigungsschaft der Sanitärarmatur und mit einem Adapter, der eine sich in Längsrichtung erstreckende Adapterhülse aufweist. Ferner betrifft die Erfindung einen Adapter für eine solche Befestigungsanordnung.The invention relates to a fastening arrangement for fastening a sanitary fitting to a worktop, which has an upper cover plate and a lower cover plate spaced therefrom, with a fastening shank of the sanitary fitting and with an adapter having a longitudinally extending adapter sleeve. Furthermore, the invention relates to an adapter for such a fastening arrangement.
Sanitärarmaturen, beispielsweise Mischbatterien, werden üblicherweise von oben in eine Montageöffnung einer Spüle, eines Waschbeckens oder einer Arbeitsplatte, insbesondere Küchenarbeitsplatte, eingesetzt und von unten, das heißt von der gegenüberliegenden Seite, mit einer Mutter fixiert. Dabei sind die entsprechenden Bereiche üblicher Spülen wenige Millimeter dick, Küchenarbeitsplatten weisen gewöhnlich eine Dicke von bis zu 38 mm auf. Die Länge des Befestigungsschaftes der Sanitärarmatur ist entsprechend daran angepasst gewesen.Sanitary fittings, for example, mixers, are usually from above into a mounting opening of a sink, a sink or a countertop, in particular kitchen worktop, used and fixed from below, that is from the opposite side, with a mother. The corresponding areas of conventional sinks are a few millimeters thick, kitchen worktops usually have a thickness of up to 38 mm. The length of the attachment shaft of the sanitary fitting has been adapted accordingly.
Seit einiger Zeit ist es aber auch üblich, etwa aus Designgründen, dickere Arbeitsplatten als bisher zu verwenden. Häufig kommen, um eine Dicke von mehr als 38 mm zu realisieren, sogenannte Leichtbauplatten oder Wabenplatten zum Einsatz. Solche Platten weisen in der Regel zwei Deckplatten aus einem Holzwerkstoff und eine dazwischen angeordnete leichte Mittellage, die also ein geringeres Gewicht bzw. eine geringe Dichte als die Decklagen hat, auf. Die leichte Mittellage besteht häufig aus einer Kartonwabe, dem sogenannten Kartonwabenkern. Der Kartonwabenkern ist bei einer solchen Platte üblicherweise zwischen die vorzugsweise beschichteten Decklagen geklebt.For some time, however, it is also common, for reasons of design, to use thicker worktops than before. Frequently come to realize a thickness of more than 38 mm, so-called lightweight panels or honeycomb panels are used. Such plates usually have two cover plates made of a wood material and one in between arranged light middle layer, which has a lower weight or a lower density than the cover layers, on. The light middle layer often consists of a cardboard honeycomb, the so-called cardboard honeycomb core. The cardboard honeycomb core is usually glued in such a plate between the preferably coated cover layers.
Dabei tritt nun das Problem auf, dass die Befestigungsmittel von standardisierten Sanitärarmaturen nur für die in der Vergangenheit üblichen geringen Arbeitsplattendicken von bis zu 38 mm konzipiert sind.The problem now arises that the fasteners of standardized sanitary fittings are designed only for the usual in the past low worktop thickness of up to 38 mm.

Darüber hinaus offenbart die
Es ist daher die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine Befestigungsanordnung zu schaffen, mit der eine Sanitärarmatur an einer dicken Arbeitsplatte stabil befestigt werden kann. Ferner ist es die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, einen Adapter für eine Befestigungsanordnung zum Befestigen einer Sanitärarmatur an einer solchen Arbeitsplatte anzugeben.It is therefore the object of the present invention to provide a mounting arrangement with which a sanitary fitting can be stably fixed to a thick worktop. Furthermore, it is the object of the present invention to provide an adapter for a fastening arrangement for attaching a sanitary fitting to such a worktop.
Die zuvor hergeleitete und aufgezeigte Aufgabe wird gemäß einer ersten Lehre der vorliegenden Erfindung bei einer Befestigungsanordnung der eingangs genannten Art dadurch gelöst, dass die Adapterhülse einen Befestigungsabschnitt aufweist, mit dem sie mit dem Befestigungsschaft verbindbar ist, und dass ein Teil des Adapters einen Befestigungsabschnitt aufweist, mit dem er mit der unteren Deckplatte verbindbar ist. Der Teil des Adapters, der mit der unteren Deckplatte verbindbar ist, kann auf verschiedene Weise ausgebildet sein: zum einen kann dieser Teil ein Abschnitt der Adapterhülse sein, insbesondere das von der Sanitärarmatur wegweisende Ende davon, wobei in diesem Fall ein Außengewinde in der Adapterhülse vorgesehen sein kann, das mit der unteren Deckplatte, insbesondere dem Rand einer Durchbrechung darin, zusammenwirkt. Mit anderen Worten kann eine insbesondere zylinderförmige Hülse mit einem Innengewinde und einem Außengewinde den erfindungemäßen Adapter bilden, wobei das Innengewinde in ein Außengewinde am Befestigungsschaft und das Außengewinde der Adapterhülse in das Material der unteren Decklage eingreift. Weist die Adapterhülse zur Befestigung am Befestigungsschaft ein Innengewinde auf, so ist es vorteilhaft, wenn das Außengewinde der Adapterhülse eine andere, vorzugsweise geringere, Steigung als das Innengewinde hat.The previously derived and indicated object is achieved according to a first teaching of the present invention in a fastening arrangement of the type mentioned above in that the adapter sleeve has a fastening portion, with which it is connectable to the fastening shaft, and that a part of the adapter has a fastening portion, with which he is connectable to the lower cover plate. The part of the adapter that can be connected to the lower cover plate can be designed in various ways: on the one hand, this part can be a section of the adapter sleeve, in particular the end facing away from the sanitary fitting, in which case an external thread is provided in the adapter sleeve may be, which cooperates with the lower cover plate, in particular the edge of an opening therein. In other words, a particular cylindrical sleeve having an internal thread and an external thread form the erfindungemäßen adapter, wherein the internal thread engages in an external thread on the mounting shaft and the external thread of the adapter sleeve in the material of the lower cover layer. Rejects that Adapter sleeve for attachment to the mounting shank on an internal thread, it is advantageous if the external thread of the adapter sleeve has a different, preferably lower, pitch than the internal thread.
Der Teil des Adapters, der mit der unteren Deckplatte verbindbar ist, kann zum anderen auch ein Adapterflansch, insbesondere in Form einer radialen Erweiterung, sein, der vorzugsweise einen axialen Anschlag zur außenseitigen Anlage an der unteren Deckplatte und/oder ebenfalls ein Außengewinde der zuvor beschriebenen Art aufweist. Mit anderen Worten kann vorgesehen sein, dass beim Festziehen des Adapters am Befestigungsschaft nicht wie zuvor beschrieben die Adapterhülse in die untere Deckplatte eingreift bzw. mit dieser zusammenwirkt, sondern es ist ein zusätzlicher Abschnitt an der Adapterhülse angeformt oder damit lösbar und beweglich verbunden, der dazu dient, mit der unteren Deckplatte zusammenzuwirken.The part of the adapter which can be connected to the lower cover plate can, on the other hand, also be an adapter flange, in particular in the form of a radial extension, which preferably has an axial stop for external contact with the lower cover plate and / or also an outer thread of the previously described Kind has. In other words, it can be provided that when tightening the adapter on the mounting shank not as described above, the adapter sleeve engages in the lower cover plate or cooperates with this, but it is an additional portion formed on the adapter sleeve or detachably and movably connected to the serves to cooperate with the lower cover plate.
Auch kann die Adapterhülse im Bereich ihres ersten Endes mindestens einen axialen Anschlag zur innenseitigen Anlage an der oberen Deckplatte aufweisen. Vorzugsweise wird die beschriebene Lastverteilung in der Arbeitsplatte dadurch erreicht, dass der äußere Querschnitt bzw. Außendurchmesser der Adapterhülse zumindest abschnittsweise, insbesondere an dem dem Adapterflansch abgewandten Ende, größer als der äußere Querschnitt bzw. Außendurchmesser des Befestigungsabschnitts und ferner der äußere Querschnitt bzw. Außendurchmesser des Adapterflansches zumindest abschnittsweise größer als der äußere Querschnitt bzw. Außendurchmesser der Adapterhülse ist.Also, the adapter sleeve may have in the region of its first end at least one axial stop for the inside contact with the upper cover plate. Preferably, the described load distribution in the worktop is achieved in that the outer cross-section or outer diameter of the adapter sleeve at least in sections, in particular at the end remote from the adapter flange, greater than the outer cross-section or outer diameter of the mounting portion and further the outer cross-section or outer diameter of the Adapter flange is at least partially larger than the outer cross-section or outer diameter of the adapter sleeve.
Mit anderen Worten ist erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen, dass die Befestigungsanordnung als ein erstes Widerlager ein mit dem Befestigungsschaft verbindbares Element aufweist, das im Innern der Arbeitsplatte mit einem Teil der Arbeitsplatte in Anlage bringbar ist, und als ein zweites Widerlager ein mit dem Befestigungsschaft verbindbares Element aufweist, das von dem das erste Widerlager bildenden Element in Längsrichtung beabstandet mit einem anderen Teil der Arbeitsplatte in Anlage bringbar ist. Dabei wird, wie zuvor bereits definiert, zumindest das das zweite Widerlager bildende Element dadurch gebildet, dass die Adapterhülse einen Befestigungsabschnitt aufweist, mit dem sie mit dem Befestigungsschaft verbindbar ist, und dass ein Teil des Adapters einen Befestigungsabschnitt aufweist, mit dem er mit der unteren Deckplatte verbindbar ist. Das zweite Widerlager bzw. das das zweite Widerlager bildende Element wird also erfindungsgemäß von einem Teil der Adapterhülse gebildet.In other words, the invention provides for the fastening arrangement to have, as a first abutment, a member which can be connected to the fastening shank and which can be brought into contact with a part of the worktop inside the worktop, and as a second abutment has an element connectable to the fastening shank, which is spaced apart from the first abutment-forming element in the longitudinal direction with another part of the worktop. In this case, as already defined above, at least the second abutment-forming element formed by the fact that the adapter sleeve has a mounting portion with which it is connectable to the mounting shank, and that a part of the adapter has a mounting portion, with which he with the lower Cover plate is connectable. The second abutment or the second abutment forming element is thus formed according to the invention of a part of the adapter sleeve.
Das das erste Widerlage bildende Element kann ein separates Bauteil, also ein von der Adapterhülse unabhängiges Bauteil, insbesondere eine mit dem Befestigungsschaft verbindbare Mutter, die also über ein Innengewinde mit einem korrespondierenden Außengewinde am Befestigungsschaft zusammenwirkt, oder Bestandteil der Adapterhülse sein, also einstückig mit der Adapterhülse ausgeführt sein.The element forming the first abutment can be a separate component, that is to say a component independent of the adapter sleeve, ie a nut which cooperates with the corresponding external thread on the attachment shaft via an internal thread, or forms part of the adapter sleeve, ie integrally with the adapter sleeve Adapter sleeve be executed.
Bei der Arbeitsplatte, die ebenfalls Bestandteil der erfindungsgemäßen Befestigungsanordnung sein kann, kann es sich um eine Holzwerkstoffplatte und bevorzugt um eine Leichtbauplatte mit einer oberen Deckplatte, einer unteren Deckplatte und einer dazwischen angeordneten Mittellage aufweisen, wobei die obere Deckplatte, die Mittellage und die untere Deckplatte in Längsrichtung übereinander angeordnet sind.In the work surface, which may also be part of the fastening arrangement according to the invention, it may be a wood-based panel and preferably a lightweight panel having an upper cover plate, a lower cover plate and a middle layer arranged therebetween, wherein the upper cover plate, the middle layer and the lower cover plate are arranged one above the other in the longitudinal direction.
Durch den vorangehend beschriebenen Aufbau kann über den durch die obere Deckplatte durch eine Durchbrechung geführten Befestigungsschaft die Sanitärarmatur an der oberen Deckplatte festgeklemmt werden, indem der Adapter als Mutter wirkt. Zum Festklemmen an der oberen Deckplatte kann aber auch statt der Adapterhülse die reguläre Mutter, die mit der Sanitärarmatur bzw. dem Befestigungsschaft üblicherweise mitgeliefert wird, verwendet werden. Auf diese Weise wird über das das erste Widerlager bildende Element ein erster Teil der Kräfte und Drehmomente, die beim Gebrauch auf die Armatur wirken, auf die obere Deckplatte übertragen. Der übrige Teil der auf die Armatur wirkenden Kräfte und Drehmomente wird über das das zweite Widerlager bildende Element, das heißt über die Adapterhülse und den optionalen Adapterflansch, auf die untere Deckplatte übertragen. Die erfindungsgemäße Befestigungsanordnung ermöglicht also durch den Adapter zum einen, dass eine Sanitärarmatur, die für herkömmliche dünne Arbeitsplatten ausgelegt ist, wenn also die Länge des Befestigungsschaftes kleiner als die Dicke der Arbeitsplatte ist, auch an relativ dicken Arbeitsplatten von mehr als 38 mm Dicke befestigt werden kann, und zum anderen, dass in dem Fall, dass die Arbeitsplatte, wie später noch näher erläutert wird, eine Leichtbauplatte (beliebiger Dicke) ist, die auftretende Last optimal in der Platte verteilt und von dieser aufgenommen werden kann.By the structure described above, the sanitary fitting can be clamped to the upper cover plate on the guided through the upper cover plate through an opening fastening shaft by the adapter acts as a nut. For clamping on the upper cover plate but instead of the adapter sleeve, the regular mother, which is usually supplied with the sanitary fitting or the mounting shank, are used. In this way, a first part of the forces and torques acting on the fitting during use is transferred to the upper cover plate via the element forming the first abutment. The remaining part of the forces and torques acting on the fitting is transmitted to the lower cover plate via the element forming the second abutment, that is to say via the adapter sleeve and the optional adapter flange. Thus, the fastening arrangement according to the invention makes it possible, by means of the adapter, for a sanitary fitting designed for conventional thin worktops, ie if the length of the fastening shank is smaller than the thickness of the worktop, also to be fastened to relatively thick worktops of more than 38 mm thickness can, and on the other hand, that in the event that the worktop, as will be explained later, a lightweight board (any thickness), the load occurring optimally distributed in the plate and can be absorbed by this.
In dem Fall, dass die Arbeitsplatte eine Leichtbauplatte ist, ist es also denkbar, dass das das erste Widerlager bildende Element mit der oberen Deckplatte, insbesondere mit der Innenseite der oberen Deckplatte, in Anlage bringbar bzw. gebracht ist. Entsprechend ist es denkbar, dass das das zweite Widerlager bildende Element mindestens um das Maß der Dicke der Mittellage, bevorzugt mindestens um das Maß der Dicke von Mittellage und unterer Deckplatte zusammen, von dem das erste Widerlager bildenden Element beabstandet ist. Bevorzugt ist dabei dass das zweite Widerlager bildende Element mit der unteren Deckplatte, insbesondere der Außenseite der unteren Deckplatte, in Anlage bringbar bzw. gebracht.In the event that the worktop is a lightweight board, so it is conceivable that the first abutment forming element with the upper cover plate, in particular with the Inside the upper cover plate, brought into or brought into contact. Accordingly, it is conceivable that the element forming the second abutment is spaced apart from the element forming the first abutment by at least the extent of the thickness of the middle layer, preferably at least by the amount of the thickness of the middle layer and lower cover plate. It is preferred that the second abutment-forming element with the lower cover plate, in particular the outside of the lower cover plate, brought into contact or brought.
Gemäß einer Ausgestaltung der erfindungsgemäßen Befestigungsanordnung weist die Adapterhülse ein Gewinde, insbesondere ein Innengewinde, und der Befestigungsschaft ein damit zusammenwirkendes korrespondierendes Gewinde, insbesondere ein Außengewinde, auf. Das Vorsehen solcher Gewinde ist eine einfache Möglichkeit, die Sanitärarmatur an der unteren Deckplatte festzuklemmen, und zwar insbesondere auch bei unterschiedlichen Dicken der Deckplatten.According to one embodiment of the fastening arrangement according to the invention, the adapter sleeve has a thread, in particular an internal thread, and the fastening shaft has a corresponding thread cooperating therewith, in particular an external thread. The provision of such threads is an easy way to clamp the sanitary fitting to the lower cover plate, especially in different thicknesses of the cover plates.
Gemäß einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der erfindungsgemäßen Befestigungsanordnung sind die Adapterhülse und der Adapterflansch einstückig miteinander verbunden. Mit anderen Worten bestehen Adapterhülse und Adapterflansch aus einem einzigen Stück und sind untrennbar verbunden. Dabei ist der Adapterflansch vorzugsweise an dem zweiten Ende der Adapterhülse, welches also von der Sanitärarmatur weg weist, angeformt. Eine solche Adapterhülse kann dann auf eine bestimmte Dicke der Arbeitsplatte, insbesondere Leichtbauplatte, abgestimmt sein. Ein solcher Adapter ist auf einfache Weise herzustellen und überträgt die auftretenden Kräfte und Drehmomente beim Gebrauch der Sanitärarmatur in optimaler Weise auf die beiden Deckplatten der Arbeitsplatte. Alternativ zu einer einstückigen Ausführung ist es auch denkbar, dass der Adapterflansch und die Adapterhülse separate Bauteile sind, die miteinander verbunden werden können. Zu diesem Zweck kann der Adapterflansch ein Gewinde, insbesondere ein Innengewinde, und die Adapterhülse ein damit zusammenwirkendes korrespondierendes Gewinde, insbesondere ein Außengewinde, aufweisen. Dabei ist das Gewinde der Adapterhülse vorzugsweise zumindest an ihrem zweiten Ende, also dem von der Sanitärarmatur weg weisenden Ende, ausgebildet. Auf diese Weise erlaubt die Befestigungsanordnung eine Anpassung an verschiedene Arbeitsplattendicken. Zunächst kann die Adapterhülse, beispielsweise durch Verschrauben, mit dem Befestigungsschaft der Sanitärarmatur verbunden werden, so dass die obere Deckplatte zwischen Armatur und Adapterhülse angeordnet ist. Dann kann der Adapterflansch an dem anderen Ende der Adapterhülse, beispielsweise ebenfalls durch Verschrauben, befestigt werden, derart, dass der Adapterflansch an der Außenseite der unteren Deckplatte anliegt und so die auftretenden Kräfte und Drehmomente auf die untere Deckplatte überträgt.According to a further embodiment of the fastening arrangement according to the invention, the adapter sleeve and the adapter flange are integrally connected to each other. In other words, adapter sleeve and adapter flange consist of a single piece and are inseparably connected. In this case, the adapter flange is preferably integrally formed on the second end of the adapter sleeve, which therefore points away from the sanitary fitting. Such an adapter sleeve can then be matched to a specific thickness of the worktop, in particular lightweight panel. Such an adapter is easy to manufacture and transmits the occurring Forces and torques when using the sanitary fitting in an optimal way on the two cover plates of the worktop. As an alternative to a one-piece design, it is also conceivable that the adapter flange and the adapter sleeve are separate components that can be connected to one another. For this purpose, the adapter flange, a thread, in particular an internal thread, and the adapter sleeve cooperating therewith a corresponding thread, in particular an external thread having. In this case, the thread of the adapter sleeve is preferably formed at least at its second end, that is, the end facing away from the sanitary fitting end. In this way, the fastening arrangement allows adaptation to different worktop thicknesses. First, the adapter sleeve, for example by screwing, be connected to the mounting shank of the sanitary fitting, so that the upper cover plate between the fitting and the adapter sleeve is arranged. Then, the adapter flange at the other end of the adapter sleeve, for example, also be secured by screwing, such that the adapter flange rests against the outside of the lower cover plate and thus transmits the forces and torques occurring on the lower cover plate.
Gemäß einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der erfindungsgemäßen Befestigungsanordnung erstreckt sich das Innengewinde und/oder das Außengewinde über die gesamte Länge der Adapterhülse. So ist es denkbar, dass zunächst ein Rohr als Stangenmaterial mit einem Innengewinde und/oder Außengewinde hergestellt wird und einzelne Adapterhülsen davon abgelängt werden, und zwar jeweils in der benötigten Länge.According to a further embodiment of the fastening arrangement according to the invention, the internal thread and / or the external thread extends over the entire length of the adapter sleeve. Thus, it is conceivable that first a tube is produced as a rod material with an internal thread and / or external thread and individual adapter sleeves are cut to length, in each case in the required length.
Gemäß wiederum einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der erfindungsgemäßen Befestigungsanordnung erweitert sich der innere Querschnitt, insbesondere der Innendurchmesser, der Adapterhülse zumindest in einem Abschnitt in Richtung des zweiten Endes der Adapterhülse, und zwar in radialer Richtung. Entsprechendes kann auch für den äußeren Querschnitt, insbesondere den Außendurchmesser, vorgesehen sein. Eine solche radiale Erweiterung kann schlagartig erfolgen, so dass ein insbesondere rotationssymmetrischer Absatz in der Innen- und/oder Außenoberfläche der Adapterhülse gebildet wird. Es ist aber zusätzlich oder alternativ auch denkbar, dass die radiale Erweiterung gleichmäßig erfolgt, so dass insbesondere die Adapterhülse einen konischen Abschnitt aufweist. Eine solche radiale Erweiterung hat den Vorteil, dass die Sanitärarmatur und/oder der Befestigungsschaft nach der Montage von unten, das heißt aus Richtung der unteren Deckplatte, besser erreichbar ist, beispielsweise zum Zwecke des Anschlusses von Kalt- und Warmwasserleitungen an die Sanitärarmatur.According to yet another embodiment of the fastening arrangement according to the invention, the inner cross-section, in particular the inner diameter of the adapter sleeve extends at least in a portion in the direction of the second end of the adapter sleeve, in the radial direction. The same can also be provided for the outer cross section, in particular the outer diameter. Such a radial expansion can be abrupt, so that a particular rotationally symmetrical shoulder in the inner and / or outer surface of the adapter sleeve is formed. However, it is additionally or alternatively also conceivable that the radial expansion takes place uniformly, so that in particular the adapter sleeve has a conical section. Such a radial expansion has the advantage that the sanitary fitting and / or the mounting shaft after installation from below, that is, from the direction of the lower cover plate, is better accessible, for example, for the purpose of connecting cold and hot water pipes to the sanitary fitting.
Gemäß noch einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der erfindungsgemäßen Befestigungsanordnung bildet die Stirnkante am ersten Ende der Adapterhülse und/oder eine von der Stirnkante axial beabstandete radiale Erweiterung, beispielsweise eine schlagartige radiale Erweiterung wie sie zuvor beschrieben wurde, des äußeren Querschnitts den axialen Anschlag zur innenseitigen Anlage an der einen der Deckplatten, vorzugsweise an der oberen Deckplatte. Es ist aber wie gesagt auch denkbar, dass die mitgelieferte Mutter des Befestigungsschaftes der Armatur dazu verwendet wird, die Armatur an der oberen Deckplatte festzuklemmen. Dann muss an der Adapterhülse kein Anschlag vorgesehen werden, da diese dann die obere Deckplatte nicht berühren braucht. Es wäre auch denkbar, dass das vordere Ende der Adapterhülse und die Stirnkante zumindest teilweise, vorzugsweise vollständig, durch die Montageöffnung in der oberen Deckplatte in Richtung der Sanitärarmatur hindurchragt, so dass in diesem Fall die schlagartige Erweiterung der Adapterhülse in axialer Richtung an der Innenseite der oberen Deckplatte zur Anlage kommt. Wiederum gemäß einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der erfindungsgemäßen Befestigungsanordnung weist der Adapterflansch mindestens einen Vorsprung und/oder mindestens eine Vertiefung auf. Vorzugsweise sind Vorsprung und/oder Vertiefung in axialer Richtung ausgebildet, stehen also axial aus dem Flansch hervor bzw. sind axial zurückgesetzt angeordnet. Der mindestens eine Vorsprung bzw. die mindestens eine Vertiefung kann als Angriffspunkt für ein Werkzeug dienen, mit dem der Adapter und/oder der Adapterflansch befestigt, insbesondere aufgeschraubt, wird. Es ist aber auch denkbar, den Adapterflansch sechseckig auszugestalten, um ihn beispielsweise mit einer herkömmlichen Standhahn-Mutternzange festziehen zu können. Auch können zumindest zwei Bohrungen vorgesehen sein, um den Adapterflansch mit einem Zweiloch-Mutterndreher zu betätigen.According to yet another embodiment of the fastening arrangement according to the invention, the front edge at the first end of the adapter sleeve and / or an axially spaced from the end edge radial extension, for example, a sudden radial expansion as described above, the outer cross section of the axial stop for internal contact on the one of the cover plates, preferably on the upper cover plate. However, it is also conceivable that the supplied nut of the mounting shank of the fitting is used to clamp the fitting to the upper cover plate. Then you have to the adapter sleeve no stop are provided, as this then does not need to touch the upper cover plate. It would also be conceivable that the front end of the adapter sleeve and the end edge at least partially, preferably completely, protrudes through the mounting opening in the upper cover plate in the direction of the sanitary fitting, so that in this case the sudden expansion of the adapter sleeve in the axial direction on the inside of upper cover plate comes to rest. Again, according to a further embodiment of the fastening arrangement according to the invention, the adapter flange has at least one projection and / or at least one recess. Preferably projection and / or recess are formed in the axial direction, so are axially out of the flange or are arranged axially reset. The at least one projection or the at least one recess can serve as a point of attack for a tool with which the adapter and / or the adapter flange attached, in particular screwed, is. But it is also conceivable to design the hexagonal adapter flange in order to tighten it, for example, with a conventional tap nut pliers. Also, at least two holes may be provided to actuate the adapter flange with a two-hole nut rotator.
Zusätzlich oder alternativ zur Adapterhülse kann auch der Adapterflansch einen konischen Abschnitt aufweisen.In addition or as an alternative to the adapter sleeve, the adapter flange may also have a conical section.
Die Adapterhülse und/oder der Adapterflansch bestehen gemäß noch einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der erfindungsgemäßen Befestigungsanordnung zumindest teilweise aus Metall, beispielsweise Aluminium, Stahl, Bronze, Messing etc.. In manchen Anwendungsfällen ist durchaus auch ein Kunststoffmaterial oder ein Verbundmaterial vorstellbar. Gemäß noch einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der erfindungsgemäßen Befestigungsanordnung ist, wie bereits erwähnt, die Arbeitsplatte eine Leichtbauplatte. Diese Leichtbauplatte weist insbesondere zwei Deckplatten aus einem Holzwerkstoff und eine dazwischen angeordnete leichte Mittellage auf, die vorzugsweise aus einer Kartonwabe besteht. Als Holzwerkstoff können insbesondere Span- oder Faserplatten eingesetzt werden, die ihrerseits wiederum auch eine Beschichtung aufweisen können, beispielsweise mit einem Laminat, einer Farbe, einem Druck etc. Anstelle einer Kartonwabenstruktur kann auch Dämmwolle, eine Polystyrol-Schaumplatte oder eine Holzwerkstoffplatte mit einer geringeren Dichte, wie beispielsweise aus Balsaholz, eingesetzt werden.The adapter sleeve and / or the adapter flange consist according to yet a further embodiment of the fastening arrangement according to the invention at least partially made of metal, for example aluminum, steel, bronze, brass, etc .. In In some applications, a plastic material or a composite material is quite conceivable. According to yet another embodiment of the fastening arrangement according to the invention, as already mentioned, the worktop is a lightweight board. This lightweight board has in particular two cover plates made of a wood material and a light intermediate layer arranged therebetween, which preferably consists of a cardboard honeycomb. In particular chipboard or fiberboard can be used as the wood material, which in turn can also have a coating, for example with a laminate, a paint, a pressure etc. Instead of a cardboard honeycomb structure can also insulating wool, a polystyrene foam board or a wood-based panel with a lower density , such as balsa wood, are used.
Gemäß noch einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der erfindungsgemäßen Befestigungsanordnung ist in den Deckplatten jeweils eine Durchbrechung bzw. Bohrung - hier kann auch eine Montageöffnung mit beliebigem Querschnitt gemeint sein - vorgesehen, wobei die Bohrungen bzw. Durchbrechungen koaxial angeordnet sind und wobei insbesondere die Bohrung bzw. Durchbrechung in der unteren Deckplatte einen größeren Querschnitt bzw. Durchmesser als die Bohrung bzw. Durchbrechung in der oberen Deckplatte hat. Dies ermöglicht das Vorsehen einer radialen Erweiterung der Adapterhülse in Richtung ihres zweiten Endes, wie dies bereits zuvor beschrieben wurde.According to yet another embodiment of the fastening arrangement according to the invention in the cover plates in each case an opening or bore - here may also be a mounting opening with arbitrary cross-section meant - provided, the holes or openings are arranged coaxially and in particular the bore or opening in the lower cover plate has a larger cross-section or diameter than the bore or opening in the upper cover plate. This allows the provision of a radial extension of the adapter sleeve towards its second end, as previously described.
Schließlich wird die Aufgabe gemäß einer zweiten Lehre der vorliegenden Erfindung gelöst durch einen Adapter für eine Befestigungsanordnung, wie sie zuvor beschrieben wurde.Finally, according to a second teaching of the present invention, the object is achieved by an adapter for a fastening arrangement as described above.
Es gibt nun eine Vielzahl von Möglichkeiten, die erfindungsgemäße Befestigungsanordnung und den erfindungsgemäßen Adapter auszugestalten und weiterzubilden.
