Description

    Field of the invention
  • The invention relates to the technical field of sanitary fixtures, particularly to systems for wall-mounted sanitary fixtures.
    • Background of the invention
  • A typical wall-mounted sanitary fixture such as a toilet is mounted to a carrier such as a frame structure installed on the inside or the outside of a bathroom's wall. Consequently, the toilet is held in place at a certain height without the risk of falling off from the wall, even in case of a drywall. However, the disadvantage of such a system is that the sanitary fixture has a fixed position in the room and thereby may hinder the access to nearby furniture, prevent people with a large body mass to gain comfortable access to the sanitary fixture or personnel such as nurses to easily help a person in need of assistance to gain comfortable access to the sanitary fixture. Hence, there is a need in the technical field of wall-mounted sanitary fixtures of overcoming such a drawback of the state-of-the-art solutions.
  • DE 298 17 744 U1 discloses a wheel chair accessible cabin including a toilet capable of moving horizontally along one wall.
    • Aspects of the invention
  • The first aspect of the invention is to provide an improvement to the state-of-the-art. The second aspect of the invention is to solve the aforementioned drawback of the prior art by enabling the sanitary fixture to move sideways along the mounting wall.
    • Description of the invention
  • The aforementioned aspects of the invention are achieved by a system for wall-mounted sanitary fixtures (e.g., toilets, bidets, sinks, etc.), the system comprising a sanitary fixture and a carrier (e.g., a frame made of steel), the sanitary fixture being adapted to be fastened to the carrier (e.g., by means of holes fitting matching threaded rods at the carrier), a top side and/or a bottom side of the carrier being adapted to be displaced along an upper element and/or a lower element, respectively, said elements (e.g., wooden or metal beams of a frame structure, but may also be the ceiling and/or the floor of the room where the sanitary fixture shall be installed) being arranged substantially horizontally (e.g., on a vertical plane) on the inside or the outside of a wall (e.g., parallel to an outer layer of the wall), wherein the system further comprises at least one displacing means at one or both elements (e.g., underneath, above or on the sides of each element) for displacing the carrier along the upper element and/or the lower element and at least one guiding means at one or both elements for engaging with the displacing means.
  • By engaging the displacing means with the guiding means, the sanitary fixture along with the carrier is enabled to move sideways outside and along the wall, thus providing additional space on one side of the sanitary fixture. This is advantageous when there is a need for moving a wall-mounted sanitary fixture from its rest position (i.e., the position where there is no sideways shift of the sanitary fixture) such as: (i) when the room is small and the sanitary fixture hinders the access to nearby furniture; (ii) when a person with a large body mass needs more space for his body around the sanitary fixture; and (iii) when a nurse shall help a patient to gain access to a sanitary fixture, thereby needing additional space on one of its sides.
  • In an embodiment of the invention, the displacing means is a rolling means or a sliding means (e.g., a strip of material of a suitable thickness which is adapted to be attached to the back side of the top side of the carrier and which is adapted to slide in a channel formed in the upper element). In another embodiment of the invention, the rolling means is a roller (e.g., one or more rollers mounted underneath the bottom side and/or above the top side of the carrier; one roller mounted on each side of the bottom side and/or the top side of the carrier, for example, by means of a bracket; etc.) and the guiding means is a rail. Advantageously, the rolling means may also be a ball, a wheel or a wheel-set. Advantageously, the guiding means may also be a guide or a channel formed in one or both elements. For example, by conveying the roller's movement in the rail along the length of the elements, the carrier, which is placed in-between the elements and to which the roller is attached to, is enabled to move with respect to the elements. Accordingly, the sanitary fixture, which is fastened to the carrier, is also enabled to move sideways.
  • Advantageously, the guiding means and/or the elements may comprise at least one stopper on each side. Consequently, the carrier does not run out of the guiding means and/or the elements when moving sideways. Also, the range of the sideways shift of the sanitary fixture can be customized.
    In an embodiment of the invention, the sanitary fixture is connected to an inlet (e.g., the water supply) and an outlet (e.g., the sewer) at an opening of the wall via an inlet tube and an outlet tube, respectively, wherein said tubes are flexible and/or extendable. Advantageously, one or both tubes may be made of a material containing an elastic material such as rubber and/or may be a corrugated tube. Advantageously, the tubes may also be made of the required length corresponding to the maximum sideways shift of the sanitary fixture and be folded when the sanitary fixture is in a rest position. By providing flexible and/or extendable tubes, the latter do not break when the sanitary fixture moves sideways, thereby avoiding fluid in the tubes from dripping or flooding on the floor.
  • In an embodiment of the invention, a cover plate is arranged between the carrier and the sanitary fixture, the cover plate being adapted to move sideways along with the sanitary fixture (e.g., the cover plate may be attached to the sanitary fixture), wherein the cover plate has a size such that the opening remains covered both in a rest position as well as in the maximum sideways position of the sanitary fixture. When moving the sanitary fixture sideways, the opening providing access to the inlet and the outlet becomes visible; this is aesthetically undesirable. By placing a cover plate of a suitable size between the carrier and the sanitary fixture and, for example, attaching it to the sanitary fixture, the cover plate is enabled to move along with the sanitary fixture while always keeping the opening covered. Note that a suitable size for the cover plate is a size such that the opening remains covered both in a rest position as well as in the maximum sideways (right or left) shift of the sanitary fixture.

    Preferred embodiments of the invention
  • FIG.1 shows a system 1 where the sanitary fixture is a wall-mounted toilet 2. A carrier 3, which is made of steel and contains a tank 14 and a control panel 15, is mounted at a top side 4 to an upper element 5 and at a bottom side 6 to a lower element 7; the elements 5, 7 are arranged horizontally on the outside of a wall 8 and within a frame structure 16 made of steel. The lower element 7 is formed as a rail 10 to engage with the two rollers 9 mounted at the bottom side 6 of the carrier 3 by means of a bracket 17. The upper element 5 is formed as a guide 10 to engage with the top side 4 of the carrier 3. The tank 14 is connected to the water supply 11 via a corrugated tube 12. The outlet (i.e., the sewer) and the outlet tube are not visible. Thanks to the rollers 9, the rail 10 and the guide 10, the toilet 2 (ref. FIG.2), which is to be fastened to the carrier 3 by means of two rods 18, can move sideways together with the carrier 3 for the whole width W of the rail/guide 10.
  • FIG.2 shows the toilet 2 when finally mounted and moved to its right-hand-side. The carrier 3 is hidden by means of a panel 19 attached to the front of the frame structure 16. A cover plate 13 is arranged between the carrier 3 and the toilet 2 and is mounted so as to move sideways together with the toilet 2. The cover plate 13 has a size such that the opening (not visible in FIG.2) used to connect the toilet 2 to the inlet 11 and the outlet remains covered both in a rest position as well as in the maximum sideways position of the toilet 2.
