Definitions

  • This invention relates generally to adjustable frames. More specifically, although not exclusively, this invention relates to adjustable frames for mounting wall hung toilet pans and cisterns, or cistern mounting frames.
  • Mounting frames are used in the installation of wall hung toilets. Such frames are generally fixed to the wall and floor, provide support for the toilet and include a concealed cistern. Cistern mounting frames may be used within vanity toilet units or inside partition walls.
  • a disadvantage of existing cistern mounting frames is that they are only available in fixed heights and therefore do not cater for the full range of fixing heights that might be required for different installations.
  • a cistern mounting frame with an upper frame portion having a cistern mount and a lower frame portion having a flush pipe mount, wherein the upper frame portion is adjustably connected or secured to the lower frame portion to allow adjustment, in use, of the height of the cistern mount relative to the flush pipe mount.
  • the adjustable connection or securement between the upper and lower frame portions results in a single mounting frame being suitable for use in different installations where different fixing heights might be required.
  • the adjustable connection or securement may comprise a sliding or slidable connection or securement and/or may be provided by a telescopic or other suitable extendable and retractable connection, e.g. between the upper and lower frame portions.
  • the upper frame portion is releasably connectable or securable to the lower frame portion in one of two or more, e.g. a plurality, of positions, for example to provide the adjustable connection or securement.
  • the releasable connection or securement may comprise one or more fasteners, such as clamps, latches or bolts.
  • One or each of the upper and lower frame portions may comprise a pair of frame members or arms or arm portions that may be vertical and/or separated and/or may be interconnected at or adjacent one or each end, e.g. upper and/or lower ends, or intermediate its ends by a cross member.
  • the frame members or arms or arm portions may be hollow and/or may be connected or interconnected by a respective inner channel member, which may fit within or around a respective one of the frame members or arms or arm portions.
  • the frame members or arms or arms portions of the upper and/or lower frame portions may be adjustable or movable or slidable relative to the inner channel member.
  • One or each of the frame members or arms or arm portions of the upper and/or lower frame portions may comprise the releasable connection or securement or a locking mechanism, for example, bolts or other attachment means, e.g. for fixing or locking the upper and/or lower frame portions, for example in one of two or more positions and/or in the required position, e.g. relative to the inner channel members.
  • the lower frame portion may comprise a base or floor attachment portion, e.g. for attaching the lower frame portion to a floor and/or a lower portion of a wall.
  • the base or floor attachment portion may be adjustable, for example adjustably or slidably connected to the lower frame portion, e.g. to adjust the height of the flush pipe mount and/or a waste pipe mount for example relative to the floor.
  • the adjustable connection between the lower frame portion and the base or floor attachment portion results in a frame that enables the height of the toilet pan relative to the floor to be adjusted.
  • the adjustable connection between the lower frame portion may be provided by a telescopic or other suitable extendable and retractable connection between the lower frame portion and the base or floor attachment portion.
  • the frame members or arms or arm portions of the lower frame portion may be hollow and/or may receive part of the base or floor attachment portion or alternatively may be connected to the base or floor attachment portion by inner channel members which fit within the hollow arm portions.
  • the frame members or arms or arm portions of the lower frame portion may be slidable relative to the base or floor attachment portion or inner channel member.
  • One or each of the frame members or arms or arm portions of the lower frame portion or base or floor attachment portions may comprise a further releasable connection or securement similar to the releasable connection or securement between the upper and lower frame portions.
  • the further releasable connection or securement may comprise a locking mechanism, for example, bolts or other attachment means, and/or may be configured to fix or lock the lower frame portion with the base or floor attachment portion, for example in one of two or more positions and/or in the required position, e.g. relative to the other or relative to the inner channel members.
  • the cistern mounting frame has attachment connector or means, for example brackets, for attachment to an adjacent wall, e.g. a rear wall.
  • the wall attachment connector or means may be connected to the upper and/or lower frame portion and/or may be adjustable, for example to accommodate different distances from the adjacent wall.
  • the wall attachment connector or means may comprise slidable or telescopic elements or members, for example one of which elements may comprise a substantially L-shape, e.g. with a securing hole that may be for receiving a wall fastener.
  • the flush pipe mount comprises a curved member that preferably includes an adjustable fastener at or adjacent each of its ends that may engage, e.g. threadedly engage, a portion of the lower frame member, e.g. a cross member, such as to adjust the distance between the curved member and the lower frame member or cross member, e.g. a flush pipe rest mounted to the lower frame member or cross member, for example to clamp a flush pipe therebetween.
