Les installations sanitaires de toilettes, du type comportant un appareil sanitaire, tel qu'une cuvette, un urinoir... se présentent de façon connue sous deux formes. Par exemple, si l'appareil sanitaire est une cuvette, l'installation sanitaire peut se présenter sous forme traditionnelle avec la cuvette fixée au sol, ou sous forme dite encastrée. Dans ce dernier cas, la cuvette est fixée à un bâti-support non visible.Sanitary toilets, of the type comprising a sanitary appliance, such as a bowl, a urinal ... are known in two forms. For example, if the sanitary appliance is a bowl, the sanitary installation can be in traditional form with the bowl fixed to the ground, or in so-called built-in form. In the latter case, the bowl is attached to a non-visible support frame.

Bien que la présentation sous forme traditionnelle soit largement répandue, le marché des installations sanitaires de toilettes encastrées prend de plus en plus d'expansion, notamment dans les lieux publics, les hôtels, les restaurants ou encore chez les particuliers, et ce pour de multiples raisons.

Un bâti support pour installation sanitaire de type encastrée et un procédé de montage pour une installation sanitaire de type encastrée sont proposés pour faciliter la manipulation par un poseur.A built-in sanitary installation support frame and a mounting method for a built-in sanitary installation are proposed for easy handling by a installer.

Le bâti support pour installation sanitaire du type encastrée comprend une partie inférieure de bâti support, la partie inférieure comprenant deux montants reliés par une première traverse, la première traverse étant prévue pour le support d'un dispositif de fixation d'élément de conduit d'évacuation, une partie supérieure de bâti support, la partie supérieure comprenant un cadre de châssis conçu pour un réservoir d'eau, et la partie supérieure pouvant être fixée de manière amovible sur la partie inférieure de bâti support. Les montants et la traverse sont en matériau métallique, et le cadre de châssis est en matériau polymère.The built-in sanitary installation support frame comprises a lower part of a support frame, the lower part comprising two uprights connected by a first crossmember, the first crossbar being provided for the support of a conduit element fixing device. discharge, an upper part of support frame, the upper part comprising a frame frame designed for a water tank, and the upper part can be removably attached to the lower part of the support frame. The uprights and the cross member are made of metal material, and the frame is made of polymeric material.

Ainsi, en prévoyant un bâti support en deux parties, on libère de l'espace de travail pour un poseur qui peut, dans un premier temps, effectuer les réglages au niveau de la zone de reprise des charges, raccorder le conduit d'évacuation, et d'une manière générale procéder au raccordement au réseau évacuation, et ce, sur la partie inférieure de bâti support uniquement. Ceci permet d'avoir un espace de travail plus conséquent et d'augmenter la flexibilité pour la manutention. Dans un deuxième temps, le poseur peut passer à la partie supérieure, avec le réservoir et son alimentation.Thus, by providing a support frame in two parts, it frees the working space for a installer who can, in a first step, make the settings at the area of recovery of loads, connect the exhaust duct, and in general proceed to the connection to the evacuation network, and this, on the lower part of support frame only. This allows for a larger workspace and increases flexibility for handling. In a second step, the installer can go to the top, with the tank and its power supply.

Par ailleurs, la partie inférieure de bâti support, métallique, permet d'assurer le bon maintien du bâti support, notamment lorsqu'une cuvette de l'installation sanitaire est montée sur le bâti support, la première traverse permettant le support des tiges filetées de fixation de cuvette. La partie supérieure de bâti support supporte moins de contrainte mécanique et peut ainsi être en matériau polymère pour jouer plus facilement sur l'apparence du bâti support.Furthermore, the lower part of the support frame, made of metal, makes it possible to ensure the proper maintenance of the support frame, in particular when a bowl of the sanitary installation is mounted on the support frame, the first crossbar allowing the support of the threaded rods of bowl fixation. The support frame upper part withstands less mechanical stress and can thus be made of polymer material to play more easily on the appearance of the support frame.

Le cadre de châssis est prévu avec des moyens d'emboitement pour un assemblage de la partie supérieure de bâti support dans la partie inférieure de bâti support, par emboitement de moyens d'emboitement sur les montants. Un tel assemblage par emboitement ou emmanchement est simple et rapide à réaliser, même dans un espace réduit.The frame frame is provided with means for interlocking for an assembly of the upper part of the support frame in the lower part of the support frame, by interlocking fitting means on the uprights. Such an assembly by interlocking or fitting is simple and quick to perform, even in a small space.

Les moyens d'emboîtement sont munis de ressorts latéraux qui agissent pour limiter le jeu résultant de l'emboitement de la partie supérieure en polymère dans la partie inférieure métallique.The interlocking means are provided with lateral springs which act to limit the clearance resulting from the interlocking of the polymer upper part in the lower metal part.

La partie inférieure de bâti support comprend une traverse inférieure avec une glissière inférieure, la traverse inférieure étant en matériau métallique. La traverse inférieure permet de constituer une reprise de charges pour une cuvette assemblée sur le bâti support. La traverse inférieure peut être munie d'une glissière inférieure et être soudée sur les montants.The lower portion of the support frame comprises a lower cross member with a lower slide, the lower cross member being made of metallic material. The lower cross member provides a recovery of loads for a bowl assembled on the support frame. The lower rail may be provided with a lower rail and be welded to the posts.

Le réservoir fait partie intégrante de la partie supérieure.The tank is an integral part of the upper part.

Un procédé de montage d'une installation sanitaire du type encastrée sur un bâti comprend les étapes de fixer au sol une partie inférieure de bâti support d'un bâti support comprenant une partie inférieure et une partie supérieure, la partie inférieure comprenant deux montants reliés par une première traverse pour le support d'un dispositif de fixation d'élément de conduit d'évacuation, deux montants et la traverse étant en matériau métallique, assembler l'élément de conduit sur le dispositif de fixation, et une fois l'élément de conduit assemblé sur la partie inférieure de bâti support, fixer la partie supérieure de bâti support sur la partie inférieure, la partie supérieure comprenant un cadre de châssis conçu pour un réservoir d'eau et la partie supérieure étant en matériau polymère.A method of mounting a sanitary installation of the recessed type on a frame comprises the steps of fixing to the floor a lower portion of a support frame of a support frame comprising a lower portion and an upper portion, the lower portion comprising two amounts connected by a first crossmember for supporting a vent pipe element fixing device, two posts and the crossbar being made of metallic material, assembling the pipe element on the fixation, and once the duct element assembled on the lower part of the support frame, fix the upper part of the support frame on the lower part, the upper part comprising a frame frame designed for a water tank and the upper part being of polymeric material.

Ainsi, la mise en place de la partie inférieure de support peut se faire en l'absence de la partie supérieure portant le réservoir, ce qui libère de l'espace de travail. De plus, les opérations de réglage et de positionnement du bâti support peuvent également être réalisées sur la partie inférieure, alors que l'élément de conduit n'est pas encore fixé. Ceci permet également pour le poseur de ne pas avoir de contrainte liée à l'élément de conduit.Thus, the establishment of the lower support part can be done in the absence of the upper part carrying the reservoir, which frees the workspace. In addition, the adjustment and positioning operations of the support frame can also be performed on the lower part, while the conduit element is not yet fixed. This also allows the installer to have no constraint related to the conduit element.

La partie supérieure de bâti support est emboitée dans la partie inférieure de bâti support, pour un montage facile à mettre en oeuvre.The upper portion of the support frame is engaged in the lower portion of the support frame, for easy mounting to implement.

Le procédé comprend l'ajustement en hauteur de la partie supérieure sur la partie inférieure de bâti support.The method comprises the height adjustment of the upper part on the lower part of the support frame.

Le dispositif de fixation 210 est illustré à la figure 5 monté sur le bâti support 1 et sur lequel est raccordée une pipe WC 3, raccordable à un manchon d'évacuation, lui-même raccordable à une évacuation de cuvette par exemple. Le dispositif de fixation 210 diffère du dispositif de fixation 10 de figures 1 à 4 essentiellement en ce que les éléments de fixation sont mobiles en rotation et non pas en translation.The fixing device 210 is illustrated at figure 5 mounted on the support frame 1 and on which is connected a pipe WC 3, connectable to a discharge sleeve, itself connectable to a bowl evacuation for example. The fixing device 210 differs from the fixing device 10 of Figures 1 to 4 essentially in that the fasteners are movable in rotation and not in translation.

Le bâti support 1 comprend un châssis 12 avec deux montants 13 reliés par une traverse 14, sur laquelle le dispositif de fixation 210 peut être monté.The support frame 1 comprises a frame 12 with two uprights 13 connected by a cross member 14, on which the fixing device 210 can be mounted.

Le dispositif de fixation 210 comprend une plaque de fixation 220 pour fixation sur un bâti support. La plaque de fixation 220 est munie de trous de fixation 222, pour le passage de tiges filetées de fixation de cuvette, et de picots de fixation 225 pour fixation sur la traverse 14.The fixing device 210 comprises a fixing plate 220 for attachment to a support frame. The fixing plate 220 is provided with fixing holes 222, for the passage of threaded cup fixing rods, and fixing pins 225 for fixing on the crosspiece 14.

Sur la plaque de fixation 220 est monté un moyen de fixation 230 de conduit. Le moyen de fixation 230 comprend un premier élément de fixation 232a de conduit et un deuxième élément de fixation 232b de conduit. Sur les figures, le premier élément de fixation 232a de conduit est à gauche et le deuxième élément de fixation 232b de conduit est à droite, à titre d'exemple non limitatif.On the fixing plate 220 is mounted a conduit fastening means 230. The fastening means 230 comprises a first conduit fastener 232a and a second conduit fastener 232b. In the figures, the first conduit fastener 232a is on the left and the second conduit fastener 232b is on the right, by way of non-limiting example.

Le premier élément de fixation 232a et le deuxième élément de fixation 232b sont montés mobiles en rotation sur la plaque de fixation 220. Plus précisément, dans l'exemple représenté, le premier élément de fixation 232a est mobile en rotation autour d'un premier axe de rotation 233a défini par une première charnière 234a sur la plaque de fixation 220. Le deuxième élément de fixation 232b est mobile en rotation autour d'un deuxième axe de rotation 233b défini par une deuxième charnière 234b sur la plaque de fixation 220.The first fastener 232a and the second fastener 232b are rotatably mounted on the fastening plate 220. More specifically, in the example shown, the first fastener 232a is rotatable about a first axis. rotation 233a defined by a first hinge 234a on the fixing plate 220. The second fixing element 232b is rotatable about a second axis of rotation 233b defined by a second hinge 234b on the fixing plate 220.

Dans l'exemple illustré, les axes de rotation 233a, 233b sont sensiblement parallèles à un plan central P dans lequel s'étend la plaque de fixation 220. La première charnière 234a est située à un bord latéral 235a externe du premier élément de fixation 232a, et la deuxième charnière 234b est située à un bord latéral 235b externe du deuxième élément de fixation 232b montées sur une base de la plaque de fixation 220.In the illustrated example, the axes of rotation 233a, 233b are substantially parallel to a central plane P in which the fastening plate 220 extends. The first hinge 234a is located at an external lateral edge 235a of the first fastening element 232a. and the second hinge 234b is located at an outer side edge 235b of the second attachment member 232b mounted on a base of the attachment plate 220.

Le premier élément de fixation 232a et le deuxième élément de fixation 232b forment un collier de fixation, lorsqu'ils sont alignés l'un par rapport à l'autre autrement appelée position de fixation, comme bien vue à la figure 6. Plus précisément, le premier élément de fixation 232a et le deuxième élément de fixation 232b sont munis, sur une surface interne 236a, 236b de réception et de positionnement d'élément de conduit. En position de fixation, les surfaces internes 236a, 236b sont sensiblement alignées l'une par rapport à l'autre, pour former le collier de fixation.The first fastener 232a and the second fastener 232b form a fastener collar, when aligned relative to each other, otherwise known as the fastening position, as seen in FIG. figure 6 . Specifically, the first fastener 232a and the second fastener 232b are provided on an inner conduit-receiving and positioning surface 236a, 236b. In the fixing position, the inner surfaces 236a, 236b are substantially aligned with respect to each other, to form the fastening collar.

De même, une zone évasée supérieure 238a, 238b est prévue sur la surface interne 236a, 236b, dans la zone la plus centrale et interne du premier élément de fixation 232a et du deuxième élément de fixation 232b, respectivement, prévue afin de faciliter la manipulation du premier élément de fixation 232a et du deuxième élément de fixation 232b, et le montage de la pipe 3.Similarly, an upper flared zone 238a, 238b is provided on the inner surface 236a, 236b, in the most central and inner region of the first fastener 232a and the second fastener 232b, respectively, provided for ease of handling. of the first fastener 232a and the second fastener 232b, and the mounting of the pipe 3.

Du côté libre opposé à la plaque de fixation 220, la charnière 234a, 234b du premier élément de fixation 232a de conduit et du deuxième élément de fixation 232b se prolonge pour le montage en rotation des éléments de fixation 232a, 232b sur une deuxième traverse 216, inférieure, du bâti support 1. Lorsque le dispositif de fixation 210 est monté sur le bâti support en position fonctionnelle, les charnières 234a, 234b coopèrent avec la traverse inférieure 216 du bâti support et avec la plaque de fixation 220, comme bien vu sur les figures 5 à 7.On the free side opposite to the attachment plate 220, the hinge 234a, 234b of the first conduit fastener 232a and the second fastener member 232b extend for the rotational mounting of the fasteners 232a, 232b on a second cross member 216. lower, of the support frame 1. When the fixing device 210 is mounted on the support frame in the operative position, the hinges 234a, 234b cooperate with the lower rail 216 of the support frame and with the attachment plate 220, as seen on the Figures 5 to 7 .

Des moyens de verrouillage 248a, 248b sont aussi prévus pour le verrouillage réversible respectif du premier élément de fixation 232a et du deuxième élément de fixation 232b en position de fixation.Locking means 248a, 248b are also provided for the respective reversible locking of the first fastener 232a and the second fastener 232b in the fastening position.

Les moyens de verrouillage 248a, 248b sont un clip complémentaire d'une rainure de verrouillage, sur l'exemple des figures 5 à 8.The locking means 248a, 248b are a complementary clip of a locking groove, on the example of the Figures 5 to 8 .

La figure 9 illustre un schéma de principe d'un procédé de fixation selon un mode de réalisation de la présente invention. Le procédé de fixation va être décrit en référence au dispositif de fixation 10 illustrés sur les figures 1 à 4.The figure 9 illustrates a block diagram of a method of attachment according to an embodiment of the present invention. The fixing method will be described with reference to the fixing device 10 illustrated on the Figures 1 to 4 .

Dans une première étape S1, l'utilisateur ou poseur monte le conduit d'évacuation 3 sur le bâti-support 1. Le poseur peut ainsi repérer la bonne position, en assemblant le conduit 3 sur le dispositif de fixation 10, et en positionnant le premier élément de fixation 32a et le deuxième élément de fixation 32b en position de fixation pour enserrer le conduit d'évacuation 3. Le poseur peut aussi faire tourner le conduit d'évacuation 3 pour trouver la position la plus adaptée (figure 4A).In a first step S1, the user or installer puts the evacuation duct 3 on the support frame 1. The installer can thus locate the correct position, by assembling the duct 3 on the fixing device 10, and positioning the first fixing element 32a and the second fixing element 32b in the fixing position for gripping the evacuation duct 3. The installer can also turn the evacuation duct 3 to find the most suitable position ( Figure 4A ).

Dans une deuxième étape S2, le poseur déplace l'un du premier élément de fixation 32a, 32b, ou les deux éléments de fixation sur la plaque de fixation 20, afin de passer en position d'ouverture. Le poseur peut ainsi libérer le conduit d'évacuation 3 pour pouvoir procéder à l'encollage du conduit d'évacuation3.In a second step S2, the installer moves one of the first fastener 32a, 32b, or the two fasteners on the fastening plate 20, to move to the open position. The installer can thus release the evacuation duct 3 in order to be able to glue the evacuation duct3.

Dans l'exemple du dispositif de fixation des figures 1 à 4, les éléments de fixation sont mobiles en translation. Ainsi, l'un du premier élément de fixation 32a ou du deuxième élément de fixation 32b peut être maintenu en position centrale, de fixation, alors que l'autre du premier élément de fixation 32a ou du deuxième élément de fixation 32b est translaté sur la plaque de fixation 20 pour libérer le conduit d'évacuation 3.In the example of the device for fixing Figures 1 to 4 , the fasteners are movable in translation. Thus, one of the first fastener 32a or the second fastener 32b can be held in the central fixing position, while the other of the first fastener 32a or the second fastener 32b is translated to the fixing plate 20 to release the exhaust duct 3.

Sur la figure 4B, le premier élément de fixation 32a reste en positon de fixation alors que le deuxième élément de fixation 32b passe en position d'ouverture ou de libération.On the Figure 4B the first fastening element 32a remains in the fixing position while the second fastening element 32b moves into the open or release position.

Bien entendu, l'homme du métier comprendra qu'il ne s'agit que d'un exemple non limitatif. En effet le premier élément de fixation 32a et le deuxième élément de fixation 32b sont tous les deux mobiles en translation sur la plaque de fixation 20, ce qui permet d'enserrer du conduit d'évacuation pour le montage à blanc puis de la libérer dans un sens ou l'autre selon l'orientation du conduit d'évacuation prévue sur le bâti support pour le réseau d'évacuation. Ainsi, le conduit d'évacuation 3 peut être libéré par le côté droit sur les figures en translatant le deuxième élément de fixation 32b pour une sortie latérale gauche du réseau d'évacuation, ou bien par le côté gauche sur les figures en translatant le premier élément de fixation 32a pour une sortie latérale droite du réseau d'évacuation, ou bien encore par le centre en translatant le premier élément de fixation 32a et le deuxième élément de fixation 32b pour une sortie basse ou droite du réseau d'évacuation.Of course, those skilled in the art will understand that this is only a non-limiting example. Indeed, the first fastening element 32a and the second fastening element 32b are both movable in translation on the fastening plate 20, which makes it possible to enclose the evacuation conduit for the blank assembly and then to release it in one way or the other depending on the orientation of the evacuation duct provided on the support frame for the evacuation network. Thus, the exhaust duct 3 can be released from the right side in the figures by translating the second fixing member 32b for a left lateral outlet of the evacuation network, or by the left side in the figures by translating the first fixing element 32a for a right lateral outlet of the evacuation network, or else by the center by translating the first fastener 32a and the second fastener 32b for a low or straight exit of the evacuation network.

Le déplacement des éléments de fixation du dispositif de fixation des figures 1 à 4 se fait par translation. Cet exemple est non limitatif. Par exemple, dans le dispositif de fixation 210 illustré sur les figures 5 à 8, les éléments de fixation 232a, 232b sont mobiles en rotation sur la plaque de fixation 220. Ainsi, le poseur peut faire tourner l'un ou l'autre des premier et deuxième éléments de fixation 232a, 232b afin de passer en position d'ouverture et permettre au poseur de libérer le conduit d'évacuation 3.The displacement of the fastening elements of the fastening device of Figures 1 to 4 is done by translation. This example is non-limiting. For example, in the attachment device 210 shown in the Figures 5 to 8 , the fastening elements 232a, 232b are rotatable on the fixing plate 220. Thus, the installer can rotate one or the other of the first and second fastening elements 232a, 232b to move to the position of opening and allow the installer to free the vent 3.

Dans une étape ultérieure S3, le poseur, après avoir encollé le conduit d'évacuation 3, peut l'emboiter dans le réseau en respectant la direction d'emboitement. Le poseur peut réaliser l'emboitement du conduit d'évacuation 3 sans tourner, forcer ni tirer sur le collage, et refermer ensuite définitivement le dispositif de fixation 30 en position de fixation pour fixer le conduit d'évacuation 3, en position sur le bâti support 1 (étape S4).In a subsequent step S3, the installer, after pasting the exhaust duct 3, can fit into the network in the direction of nesting. The installer can perform the interlocking of the exhaust duct 3 without turning, force or pull on the bonding, and then permanently close the fastener 30 in the fixing position to fix the exhaust duct 3, in position on the frame support 1 (step S4).

Ainsi, grâce au dispositif de fixation de la présente demande, le poseur peut conserver un repère de la position finale mais peut retirer la pipe aisément, encoller et repositionner le conduit d'évacuation en respectant la direction d'emboitement et sans tourner, forcer ni tirer sur le collage. Il ne reste plus ensuite qu'à refermer le collier définitivement.Thus, thanks to the fixing device of the present application, the installer can maintain a mark of the final position but can remove the pipe easily, glue and reposition the exhaust duct in the direction of nesting and without turning, force or shoot the collage. It remains only to close the collar permanently.

En somme il reste à constater que le dispositif de fixation sert de fixation du manchon d'évacuation et du conduit d'évacuation et permet de positionner l'arrivée d'eau réservoir pour son raccordement vers la cuvette. Le poseur a toute flexibilité pour la manutention.In sum, it remains to be seen that the fixing device serves to fix the discharge sleeve and the evacuation duct and makes it possible to position the inlet of reservoir water for its connection to the bowl. The installer has all the flexibility for handling.

Le dispositif de fixation est de préférence en matériau plastique. Des structures de renfort peuvent être prévues.

La figure 15 illustre un schéma de principe d'un procédé de montage d'un bâti support selon un mode de réalisation de la présente invention. Le procédé de raccordement va être décrit en référence au bâti support 1001 illustré sur les figures 10 à 15.The figure 15 illustrates a block diagram of a mounting method of a support frame according to an embodiment of the present invention. The connection method will be described with reference to the support frame 1001 illustrated on the Figures 10 to 15 .

Dans une première étape S1001, l'utilisateur ou poseur pré-positionne la partie inférieure 1020 du bâti support 1001. Le poseur peut faire des réglages de hauteur en utilisant les pieds réglables 1026, et effectuer aussi des réglages de hauteur, de niveau et d'aplomb. Le poseur peut procéder à la fixation au sol et éventuellement au mur. Dans cette étape, la partie supérieure 1030 de bâti support n'est pas encore montée sur la partie inférieure 1020, ce qui permet d'accéder facilement à l'arrière du bâti support 1010 et laisse tout la place nécessaire au poseur pour réaliser les fixations, notamment la fixation au sol des pieds 1026 de la partie inférieure 1020.In a first step S1001, the user or installer pre-positions the lower part 1020 of the support frame 1001. The installer can make height adjustments using the adjustable feet 1026, and also make height, level and height adjustments. plumb. The installer can proceed to the fixing on the ground and possibly on the wall. In this step, the upper part 1030 of support frame is not yet mounted on the lower part 1020, which allows easy access to the rear of the support frame 1010 and leaves all the necessary space to the installer to make the fasteners, including the ground fixing of the feet 1026 of the lower part 1020.

De plus, dans cette étape, le conduit d'évacuation 1003 n'est pas encore fixé sur le collier de fixation 1010. Ceci permet aussi au poseur de ne pas être gêné par la fixation du conduit d'évacuation lors de l'installation de la partie inférieure de bâti support et des réglages associés.In addition, in this step, the evacuation duct 1003 is not yet fixed on the fastening collar 1010. This also allows the installer to be uncomfortable with the fixing of the evacuation duct during the installation of the lower part of rack mount and associated settings.

Dans une deuxième étape S1002, le poseur monte le conduit d'évacuation 1003 sur le bâti-support. Ce faisant, le poseur positionne le conduit d'évacuation dans l'orientation voulue et fixe le conduit d'évacuation 1003. Le résultat de cette étape est illustré à la figure 11b.In a second step S1002, the installer mounts the exhaust duct 1003 on the support frame. In doing so, the installer positions the evacuation duct in the desired orientation and fixes the exhaust duct 1003. The result of this step is illustrated in FIG. figure 11b .

Dans une étape ultérieure S1003, le poseur rapporte la partie supérieure 1030 de bâti support sur la partie inférieure 1020. Dans l'exemple illustré, la partie supérieure 1030 vient s'emboiter sur la partie inférieure 1020 de bâti support.In a subsequent step S1003, the installer reports the upper portion 1030 support frame on the lower portion 1020. In the example shown, the upper portion 1030 is engaged on the lower portion 1020 support frame.

Le poseur peut également régler à nouveau la hauteur du bâti support assemblé, en ajustant la hauteur via les moyens d'emboîtement 1034, lorsque ceux-ci sont réglables en hauteur.The installer may also adjust the height of the assembled support frame, by adjusting the height via the interlocking means 1034, when they are adjustable in height.

Ainsi, grâce au bâti support en deux parties de la présente demande, le poseur peut dans un premier temps effectuer les réglages au niveau de la zone de reprise des charges, raccorder le conduit d'évacuation 1003, et d'une manière générale procéder au raccordement au réseau d'évacuation, et ce, sur la partie inférieure de bâti support uniquement. Ceci permet d'avoir un espace de travail plus conséquent et d'augmenter la flexibilité pour la manutention. Dans un deuxième temps, le poseur peut passer à la partie supérieure, avec le réservoir et son alimentation.Thus, thanks to the two-part support frame of the present application, the installer can first make the adjustments in the area of recovery of loads, connect the exhaust duct 1003, and generally proceed to the connection to the drainage system, and this, on the lower part of support frame only. This makes it possible to have a larger work space and to increase flexibility for handling. In a second step, the installer can go to the top, with the tank and its power supply.

Par ailleurs, la partie inférieure de bâti support, métallique, permet d'assurer le bon maintien du bâti support.Furthermore, the lower portion of the support frame, metal, ensures the proper maintenance of the support frame.

La géométrie et le mode d'assemblage du bâti support permettent d'effectuer l'assemblage du conduit d'évacuation sur le dispositif de raccordement sans être gêné par le réservoir. Le poseur a toute liberté de mouvement vertical.The geometry and the assembly method of the support frame make it possible to assemble the exhaust duct on the connection device without being disturbed by the reservoir. The installer has full freedom of vertical movement.

Les ressorts 1236 sont prévus pour exercer une force contre les faces internes des montants 1013 lorsque la partie supérieure 1230 est emboitée dans le montants 1013, afin de limiter le jeu résultant de l'assemblage entre la partie supérieure 1130, en matériau polymère, et la partie inférieure, en matériau métallique.The interlocking means 1234 are provided with lateral springs 1236. The springs 1236 are provided to exert a force against the inner faces of the uprights 1013 when the upper part 1230 is engaged in the uprights 1013, in order to limit the play resulting from the assembly between the upper part 1130, of polymer material, and the lower part, made of metallic material.

L'emboitement peut également permettre un réglage en hauteur de la partie supérieure 1230 sur la partie inférieure 1020, afin de régler la hauteur totale du bâti support. Ceci permet d'adapter le bâti support à différents espaces.The interlocking may also allow a height adjustment of the upper part 1230 on the lower part 1020, in order to adjust the total height of the support frame. This makes it possible to adapt the support frame to different spaces.
