Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a support structure for sanitary fixtures, in particular suspended sanitary fixtures, such as toilet bowls, bidets or others, in which it is necessary to operate on the vertical walls of a room in order to position, attach and install them.
  • the support structure according to the present invention is of the substantially universal type, that is, it is suitable for the correct and rapid installation of substantially any type of sanitary fixture to be installed.
  • Structures for supporting sanitary fixtures of the suspended type are known, which provide two or more longitudinal members to position and attach the sanitary fixture to the wall, and a connection or support plate suitable both to connect the two longitudinal members and also to define the attachment of the different fluidic feed pipes and pipes to discharge the water.
  • a single connection plate is provided, which is shaped so as to be reversible, so that it is possible to choose: a first position of the plate, in which a supporting condition is defined for a first type of sanitary fixture, for example a bidet; and a second position of the plate in which a different support condition is defined, for a second type of sanitary fixture, for example a toilet bowl.
  • connection plate is irreversible between the two longitudinal members, and in order to position the pipes it is necessary to use auxiliary support elements, such as for example U-shaped clips, which are assembled on site on the connection plate and, on each occasion, replaced and interchanged, depending on the different types of installation, pipes and sanitary fixture to be supported.
  • auxiliary support elements such as for example U-shaped clips
  • auxiliary support elements provided, as they are applied manually, and at times in complex operating conditions, may not guarantee the correct and aligned positioning of the pipes, with consequent difficulties and impediments for the subsequent positioning of the sanitary fixture.
  • use of auxiliary support elements does not guarantee the repeatability of the positioning of the pipes.
  • This operating condition leads to an increase in the costs and times of manufacture, to an increase in the bulk and the management costs for storing the spare parts, and also to an increase in the complexity and times of assembly and installation of the structure.
  • Solutions are also known with a limited number of components, but these solutions provide a specific structure for a first type of sanitary fixture and a second specific structure for a second type of sanitary fixture.
  • Document DE 28 09 135 A1 describes a support structure for sanitary fixtures on which the preamble to claim 1 is based; this document is considered the closest prior art.
  • EP 1116830 A2 , EP 1335077 A1 and DE 20005988 U1 are other prior art documents related to support structures for sanitary fixtures.
  • One purpose of the present invention is to achieve a support structure for sanitary fixtures which is simple and economical to make, which can be used indifferently for substantially any type of sanitary fixture, and which entails cheaper management of spare parts in stock.
  • Another purpose of the present invention is to achieve a support structure which is universal substantially for any type of sanitary fixture.
  • the Applicant has devised, tested and embodied the present invention to overcome the shortcomings of the state of the art and to obtain these and other purposes and advantages.
  • a support structure according to the present invention is applied to attach and install a sanitary fixture and the relative fluidic feed and discharge pipes on a wall.
  • the support structure according to the present invention comprises at least two attachment elements, such as for example two longitudinal members, each provided with a plurality of attachment openings, such as holes and eyelets, to at least allow them to be attached to an installation wall.
  • the support structure also comprises at least two transverse support elements, disposed to connect the two attachment elements and attached to them through the relative attachment openings.
  • the two transverse support elements are identical, that is, they are identical in shape and size, and are able to be disposed specular with respect to a transverse symmetry axis of the two attachment elements.
  • Each support element comprises at least a first edge provided with a first housing shape.
  • the first edge of a first of the two transverse support elements is disposed facing the first edge of a second of the two transverse support elements, so that the two respective housing shapes define a specific housing seating for a first of the fluidic pipes of the sanitary fixture.
  • the first fluidic pipe of the sanitary fixture for example the discharge pipe, is disposed in the housing seating, in a substantially clamped condition between the two identical housing shapes of the two transverse support elements disposed specularly.
  • the possibility of providing two identical transverse support elements which, in a specular position, define alone the seatings for housing the fluidic pipes allows to provide a single production line for the two transverse support elements, substantially halving the production costs compared with traditional support structures with several support elements.
  • Another advantage of the solution according to the present invention is that, since the two transverse support elements are identical and sufficient in themselves to position the pipe correctly, there is no risk of an erroneous assembly of possible auxiliary elements.
  • each transverse support element comprises a second edge, opposite the first edge, on which a second housing shape is made, different from the first housing shape, and able to house a second type of fluidic pipe.
  • the two transverse support elements are disposed specular, the two second housing shapes are opposite each other.
  • the second pipe can be selectively associated with the first of the transverse support elements or with the second of the transverse support elements, defining two possible positioning conditions with the same support structure.
  • the same support structure can be suitable to support and position different types of sanitary fixtures, in which the second type of fluidic pipe have different exit positions.
  • the support structure is substantially universal or at least multi-functional, that is, suitable to support any type of sanitary fixture on the market.
  • each transverse support element comprises a plurality of fastening holes, and one or more positioning elements.
  • the positioning elements are conformed to be selectively coupled stably to the fastening holes and comprise at least a housing collar, inside which a third type of fluidic pipes can be positioned.
  • At least one of the two transverse support elements is mounted in adjustable manner on the attachment elements.
  • At least one of the two transverse support elements is selectively mobile with respect to the other, so that it is possible to adjust at least the position of the first housing shape, and hence its condition of cooperation with the first housing shape of the other transverse support element, so as to modify the housing conditions of the housing seating defined.
  • first fluidic pipes with different diameters can be housed correctly in the housing seating.
  • the number 10 denotes generally a support structure suitable to support different types of sanitary fixtures, such as for example toilet bowls and bidets, in particular of the suspended type, that is, fixed to a wall instead of the floor.
  • figs. 1 and 2 show the application of the support structure 10 according to the present invention to support, respectively, a toilet bowl and a bidet, with the relative fluidic pipes that will be identified in detail hereafter.
  • the support structure 10 comprises, in common for both of the two applications shown, and possibly others that are not shown, two longitudinal members 11 and 12, and two transverse support plates, respectively a first 13 and a second 15, disposed to transversely connect the two longitudinal members 11 and 12.
  • Each of the two longitudinal members 11 and 12 is made of metal sheet and has a cross section, preferably but not restrictively, substantially C-shaped or U-shaped.
  • each longitudinal member 11 and 12 comprises a respective supporting foot 20, a first series of holes 16, a second series of holes 17 and a third series of holes 19.
  • the supporting foot 20 is mounted in an adjustable manner, by means of threaded shaft 21, on a lower surface of the relative longitudinal member 11 and 12.
  • the first series of holes 16 is made on the bottom of each longitudinal member 11 and 12, and comprises a plurality of through holes 16a to which relative anchoring shafts 22 are selectively associated, in order to position and attach the toilet bowl or the bidet to the support structure 10, and relative positioning shafts 23, to anchor the support structure 10 to the wall.
  • different holes 16a are provided for the anchoring shafts 22 which allow a selective disposition of the anchoring shafts 22 at an interaxis that varies between about 180 mm and about 230 mm.
  • the second series of holes 17 is made on the same bottom on which the first series of holes 16 is made, and comprises both through attachment holes 17a and also through adjustment eyelets 17b.
  • the through holes 17a are suitable to allow to attach the first support plate 13, for example by means of iron work elements, to the two longitudinal members 11 and 12, while the eyelets 17b are suitable to allow the second support plate 15 to be slidingly assembled, again by means of iron work elements, on the two longitudinal members 11 and 12.
  • the distance between the two support plates 13 and 15 is selectively adjustable to define different operating support conditions.
  • the third series of holes 19 is made on the lateral flanks of each longitudinal member 11 and 12, and comprises a plurality of through holes 19a which, as will be explained in detail hereafter, allow to selectively position and clamp relative positioning collars 30.
  • the first support plate 13 and the second support plate 15 are substantially identical in shape and size, and are mounted specular with respect to a relative symmetry axis transverse to the two longitudinal members 11 and 12.
  • Each support plate 13 and 15 comprises a first lateral edge 25, on which a first housing shape 26 is made.
  • the first housing shape 26 is made in a substantially median position of the relative first lateral edge 25, and is shaped substantially like a half-moon.
  • the specular position of the two support plate s 13 and 15 is such that the two respective first lateral edges 25 and the two respective housing shapes 26 are substantially facing and opposite each other.
  • the two housing shapes 26 define, in cooperation with each other, a housing seating for a first fluidic pipe 27.
  • the sizes of the housing seating can be selectively varied according to the sizes of the first fluidic pipe 27.
  • the variation occurs by sliding the second support plate 15 with respect to the first support plate 13, so as to vary the distance between the two.
  • first fastening fins 32 branch off, on which relative through holes 33 are made.
  • the first fastening fins 32 allow to fasten, by means of the through holes 33, a possible reducer 35 to the relative support plate 13.
  • the reducer 35 allows to modify, at least partly, the conformation of the housing seating defined by the opposite cooperation of the two housing shapes 26.
  • the same through holes 33 allow to selectively position and clamp the positioning collars 30.
  • Each support plate 13 and 15 also comprises a second lateral edge 29, opposite the first lateral edge 25 with respect to the relative support plate 13 and 15, and on which a second housing shape 31 is made.
