Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an arrangement comprising a mounting device and a sanitary article mounted on the mounting device according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a mounting device of this type is known from the prior art EP 1 936 052 known.
  • This mounting device comprises a mounting frame to be attached to a building wall and has only a single footrest with which the mounting device stands on the floor.
  • the mounting frame is connected to the building wall via wall anchors in the upper area, while a fastening plate is also provided in the lower area.
  • the assembly device after the EP 1 936 052 is therefore supported via the wall anchor, the mounting plate and the only footrest.
  • the mounting device after EP 1 936 052 is usually used for wall-mounted sanitary articles. Consequently, the components of the mounting device must be dimensioned accordingly.
  • the area of the pipe penetration is between the supports up to a height of approx. 70 cm if a toilet is installed or up to approx. 120 cm if a washbasin is installed.
  • the invention has for its object to provide an arrangement which allows a more flexible pipe penetration, in particular without impairing the stability of the mounting device.
  • an arrangement comprises a mounting device and a sanitary article mounted on the mounting device.
  • the mounting device for positioning or fastening a sanitary article, in particular a toilet bowl, a frame carrying the sanitary article with at least two or exactly two vertical struts running at a distance from one another and at least one or exactly one crossbar which is firmly connected to the vertical struts and connects the vertical struts to one another .
  • the crossmember also includes fastening elements, via which the sanitary article can be fastened to the mounting device.
  • the mounting device or the frame comprises at least one support element which is firmly connected to the cross member and firmly to one of the vertical struts.
  • the support element is a hollow body.
  • the hollow body has a front wall and a rear wall which is arranged at a distance from the front wall and which front wall and rear wall are connected to the respective vertical strut and the respective cross member via the side edges thereof facing the vertical strut and the cross member. Furthermore, the front wall and the rear wall are connected via at least one reinforcement profile and / or at least one reinforcement rib.
  • the support element is arranged in the installed position of the mounting device below the cross member.
  • the sanitary article has a support surface which overlaps at least parts of the crossmember and parts of the at least one support element.
  • the projection is at right angles to the front plane spanned by the front surfaces of the vertical strut see.
  • the sanitary article can be supported on the crossmember or the support element directly or via a pretext lying between the sanitary article and the hollow body.
  • Such an arrangement is advantageous in terms of good support and in terms of flexibility in the pipe leadthrough. In this context, one can also speak of a box-shaped or hollow-shaped sanitary article support.
  • the sanitary body In operation, apart from its weight, the sanitary body essentially causes a bending moment on the crossbar.
  • the support element supports the crossmember in such a way that the said bending moment can be introduced into the vertical struts through the support elements. In other words, parts of the force of the sanitary article acting on the crossbar are introduced into the vertical strut via the support element.
  • the arrangement of the support element makes it possible to dispense with a further crossmember which would be arranged at a distance from the existing crossmember, which leaves the space underneath the existing crossmember, apart from the at least one support element. This free space allows, for example, a drain pipe to be placed with greater freedom.
  • the term “firmly connected” means that there is a fixed or non-separable connection between the corresponding elements, via which forces can be transmitted.
  • the corresponding parts are directly connected to each other.
  • the crossmember is preferably spaced apart from the upper end of the vertical strut and the lower end of the vertical strut.
  • the frame In the fully assembled state, the frame is essentially made in one piece. This means that the traverse, the vertical struts and the support elements form a single component.
  • a supporting element is preferably arranged for each vertical strut, which connects the traverse to the vertical strut, the supporting elements being spaced apart from one another are arranged so that there is a free space between the support elements.
  • a free space is understood to mean that the area between the support elements remains free, that is to say is not blocked by elements of the frame located in this area.
  • the free space has the advantage that a pipeline, which is connected to the sanitary article, can be easily passed through the assembly device and can be adapted to the local conditions.
  • the support element is arranged below the crossbar in the installed position of the mounting device. Above the crossbar, the frame between the vertical struts offers a receiving space for receiving a cistern or other fittings.
  • the vertical struts preferably have mutually facing inner surfaces, the support element being connected to the respective vertical strut via these surfaces.
  • the support element is thus connected to the vertical strut via the inner surfaces of the vertical struts.
  • the fastening element is preferably located in the cross member between the connection point between the support element and the cross member and the vertical strut which is connected to the support element. Seen in the installed position, the fastening element therefore lies above the support element or in an area in which the support element is connected to the crossmember. As a result, the force from the crossmember can be applied to the support element in a particularly good and precise manner.
  • each support element There is preferably one fastening element for each support element.
  • the front surfaces of the vertical struts preferably span a front plane, the support element being flush with the said front plane.
  • the front surface of the traverse spans a front plane, the support element being flush with the front plane. Due to the flush arrangement of the support elements with the said front plane, not only can a compact assembly device be specified, but also an optimal contacting of the cross member and the support element by the Sanitary fittings are created.
  • the sanitary fitting can be supported on the support element.
  • the front plane of the cross member is particularly preferably equal to the front plane of the support elements, the front surface of the cross member then being flush with the front surface of the vertical struts.
  • the support element preferably extends from a connection point with the cross member at an angle to the vertical strut, so that the distance between the support element and the vertical strut becomes smaller as the distance from the vertical strut increases.
  • the connection point is the point which is furthest away from the vertical strut with which the support element is connected.
  • the support element can run from a connection point with the vertical strut essentially at right angles to the vertical strut to a kink point, from which the support element then extends at an angle to the vertical strut.
  • the hollow body is a body which is bounded by walls, the walls being firmly connected to the vertical strut and the cross member. The forces are then introduced into the vertical strut via the walls, which can also be referred to as flat elements.
  • the traverse can be an integral part of the hollow body.
  • the reinforcement profile and / or the reinforcement rib preferably run along the side edges arranged at a distance from the crossmember or the vertical strut. Additionally or alternatively, reinforcement profiles or reinforcement ribs can also be arranged in other areas of the front wall and the rear wall. For example in the flat areas.
  • the front wall and the rear wall are connected to one another via a first reinforcing rib and a second reinforcing rib.
  • the front wall, the rear wall, the first reinforcing flu and the second reinforcing rib thus delimit said hollow body.
  • the front wall, rear wall and the reinforcing ribs form a kind of hollow profile.
  • the first reinforcing rib and the second reinforcing rib are preferably arranged at a distance from one another and in each case connect the side edges of the front wall and the rear wall to one another. Consequently, the reinforcing ribs limit said hollow body.
  • the first reinforcing rib, the vertical strut and the crossmember preferably delimit a further free space.
  • the further free space is between the vertical strut, the cross member and the hollow body and is an additional space to the one that lies between two support elements. Connection lines to the sanitary articles could be led through the further free space.
  • the provision of said further space reduces weight and favors manufacture.
  • the first reinforcing rib preferably has a vertical section and an adjoining horizontal section, the vertical section running parallel and spaced apart from the vertical strut and the horizontal section being inclined at an angle, in particular at right angles, to the vertical strut, and wherein the vertical section with the crossmember and the horizontal section with the vertical strut communicates.
  • the vertical section and the horizontal section limit said further free space.
  • the second reinforcing rib preferably has a vertical section and a horizontal section adjoining it, the vertical section running parallel and spaced apart from the vertical strut and the horizontal section being inclined at an angle, in particular at right angles, to the vertical strut, and wherein the vertical section with the crossmember and the horizontal section with the vertical strut communicates.
  • the second reinforcing rib is arranged in relation to the free space between the support elements and forms a boundary therefor.
  • the vertical section of the second reinforcing rib is preferably at a greater distance from the vertical strut, seen transversely to the vertical strut, than the first reinforcing rib.
  • parts of the hollow body are guided through a recess through the cross member and the cross member has a reinforcing section extending from the cross member opposite the hollow body, to which said parts of the hollow body are connected.
  • the front surface of the vertical struts or the front surface of the cross member spans a front plane and the rear surface of the vertical struts or the rear surface of the cross member spans a back plane, the hollow body lying between these two planes or being congruent with these planes, or wherein the hollow body is flush with the front level on one side or lies between the front level and the rear level and protrudes beyond the rear level on the other side.

Description

TECHNISCHES GEBIETTECHNICAL AREA

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Anordnung umfassend eine Montagevorrichtung und ein an der Montagevorrichtung montierter Sanitärartikel nach dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1.The present invention relates to an arrangement comprising a mounting device and a sanitary article mounted on the mounting device according to the preamble of claim 1.

STAND DER TECHNIKSTATE OF THE ART

Aus dem Stand der Technik ist eine Montagevorrichtung dieser Art durch die EP 1 936 052 bekannt geworden. Diese Montagevorrichtung umfasst einen an einer Gebäudewand zu befestigen Montagerahmen und weist lediglich eine einzige Fussstütze auf, mit welcher die Montagevorrichtung auf dem Fussboden aufsteht. Der Montagerahmen wird im oberen Bereich über Wandanker mit der Gebäudewand verbunden, während im unteren Bereich zudem noch eine Befestigungsplatte vorgesehen ist.A mounting device of this type is known from the prior art EP 1 936 052 known. This mounting device comprises a mounting frame to be attached to a building wall and has only a single footrest with which the mounting device stands on the floor. The mounting frame is connected to the building wall via wall anchors in the upper area, while a fastening plate is also provided in the lower area.

Die Montagevorrichtung nach der EP 1 936 052 wird demnach über die Wandanker, die Befestigungsplatte und die einzige Fussstütze abgestützt.The assembly device after the EP 1 936 052 is therefore supported via the wall anchor, the mounting plate and the only footrest.

Die Montagevorrichtung nach EP 1 936 052 wird üblicherweise für wandhängende Sanitärartikel eingesetzt. Folglich müssen die Komponenten der Montagevorrichtung entsprechend dimensioniert werden.The mounting device after EP 1 936 052 is usually used for wall-mounted sanitary articles. Consequently, the components of the mounting device must be dimensioned accordingly.

Aus der EP 2 662 502 ist eine bodenstehende Montagevorrichtung bekannt geworden, welche über Fussstützen auf dem Boden aufstehen kann.From the EP 2 662 502 a floor-standing mounting device has become known, which can stand up on the floor via footrests.

Obwohl mit den Montagevorrichtungen nach der EP 1 936 052 und der EP 2 662 502 sehr gute Resultate erzielt wurden, ist es wünschenswert bei gleicher Stabilität im Bereich der Rohrdurchführung mehr Raum für die Durchführung von verschiedenen Rohren zu haben. Der Bereich der Rohrdurchführung ist zwischen den Stützen bis auf eine Höhe von ca. 70 cm im Falle der Montage einer Toilette oder bis ca. 120 cm im Falle der Montage eines Waschtisches.Although with the mounting devices after the EP 1 936 052 and the EP 2 662 502 very good results have been achieved, it is desirable to have more space for the implementation of different pipes with the same stability in the area of the pipe leadthrough. The area of the pipe penetration is between the supports up to a height of approx. 70 cm if a toilet is installed or up to approx. 120 cm if a washbasin is installed.

Weitere Beispiele der Anordnungen sind in US3273173 , EP0343071 und in WO2013/041745 offenbart.Further examples of the arrangements are in US3273173 , EP0343071 and in WO2013 / 041745 disclosed.

DARSTELLUNG DER ERFINDUNGPRESENTATION OF THE INVENTION

Ausgehend von diesem Stand der Technik liegt der Erfindung eine Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Anordnung anzugeben, welche eine flexiblere Rohrdurchführung erlaubt, insbesondere ohne Beeinträchtigung der Stabilität der Montagevorrichtung.Based on this prior art, the invention has for its object to provide an arrangement which allows a more flexible pipe penetration, in particular without impairing the stability of the mounting device.

Diese Aufgabe löst der Gegenstand nach Anspruch 1. Demgemäss umfasst eine Anordnung eine Montagevorrichtung und ein an der Montagevorrichtung montierter Sanitärartikel. Die Montagevorrichtung zur Positionierung bzw. Befestigung eines Sanitärartikels, insbesondere einer Klosettschüssel, einen den Sanitärartikel tragenden Rahmen mit wenigstens zwei oder genau zwei beabstandet zueinander verlaufenden Vertikalstreben und mindestens einer oder genau einer Traverse, welche fest mit den Vertikalstreben in Verbindung steht und die Vertikalstreben miteinander verbindet. Die Traverse umfasst zudem Befestigungselemente, über welche der Sanitärartikel zur Montagevorrichtung befestigbar ist. Weiter umfasst die Montagevorrichtung bzw. der Rahmen mindestens ein Stützelement, welches fest mit der Traverse und fest mit einer der Vertikalstreben in Verbindung steht. Das Stützelement ist ein Hohlkörper. Der Hohlkörper weist eine Vorderwand und eine beabstandet zur Vorderwand angeordnete Rückwand auf, welche Vorderwand und Rückwand über deren der Vertikalstrebe und der Traverse zugewandte Seitenkanten mit der jeweiligen Vertikalstrebe und der jeweiligen Traverse in Verbindung stehen. Weiter sind die Vorderwand und die Rückwand über mindestens ein Verstärkungsprofil und/oder mindestens eine Verstärkungsrippe verbunden. Das Stützelement ist in Einbaulage der Montagevorrichtung unterhalb der Traverse angeordnet.The object according to claim 1 achieves this object. Accordingly, an arrangement comprises a mounting device and a sanitary article mounted on the mounting device. The mounting device for positioning or fastening a sanitary article, in particular a toilet bowl, a frame carrying the sanitary article with at least two or exactly two vertical struts running at a distance from one another and at least one or exactly one crossbar which is firmly connected to the vertical struts and connects the vertical struts to one another . The crossmember also includes fastening elements, via which the sanitary article can be fastened to the mounting device. Furthermore, the mounting device or the frame comprises at least one support element which is firmly connected to the cross member and firmly to one of the vertical struts. The support element is a hollow body. The hollow body has a front wall and a rear wall which is arranged at a distance from the front wall and which front wall and rear wall are connected to the respective vertical strut and the respective cross member via the side edges thereof facing the vertical strut and the cross member. Furthermore, the front wall and the rear wall are connected via at least one reinforcement profile and / or at least one reinforcement rib. The support element is arranged in the installed position of the mounting device below the cross member.

Der Sanitärartikel weist eine Stützfläche auf, die mindestens Teile der Traverse und Teile des mindestens einen Stützelementes überlagert. Die Überlagerung ist dabei in Projektion rechtwinklig auf die von den Frontflächen der Vertikalstrebe aufgespannte Frontebene zu sehen. Durch die Überlagerung kann der Sanitärartikel an der Traverse bzw. dem Stützelement direkt oder über eine zwischen dem Sanitärartikel und dem Hohlkörper liegenden Vorwand abgestützt werden. Eine solche Anordnung ist vorteilhaft bezüglich einer guten Abstützung und bezüglich der Flexibilität in der Rohrdurchführung. Man kann in diesem Zusammenhang auch von einer kastenförmigen bzw. hohlkörperförmigen Sanitärartikelabstützung sprechen.The sanitary article has a support surface which overlaps at least parts of the crossmember and parts of the at least one support element. The projection is at right angles to the front plane spanned by the front surfaces of the vertical strut see. As a result of the overlay, the sanitary article can be supported on the crossmember or the support element directly or via a pretext lying between the sanitary article and the hollow body. Such an arrangement is advantageous in terms of good support and in terms of flexibility in the pipe leadthrough. In this context, one can also speak of a box-shaped or hollow-shaped sanitary article support.

Im Betrieb bewirkt der Sanitärkörper abgesehen von seiner Gewichtskraft im Wesentlichen ein Biegemoment auf die Traverse. Das Stützelement stützt die Traverse derart, dass das besagte Biegemoment durch die Stützelemente in die Vertikalstreben eingeleitet werden kann. Mit anderen Worten gesagt werden Teile der auf die Traverse wirkenden Kraft des Sanitärartikels über das Stützelement in die Vertikalstrebe eingeleitet. Durch die Anordnung des Stützelementes kann auf eine weitere Traverse, die beabstandet zur vorhandenen Traverse angeordnet wäre, verzichtet werden, was den Raum unterhalb der vorhanden Traverse, abgesehen vom mindestens einen Stützelement, frei lässt. Durch diesen freien Raum kann beispielsweise eine Abflussleitung mit grösserer Freiheit platziert werden.In operation, apart from its weight, the sanitary body essentially causes a bending moment on the crossbar. The support element supports the crossmember in such a way that the said bending moment can be introduced into the vertical struts through the support elements. In other words, parts of the force of the sanitary article acting on the crossbar are introduced into the vertical strut via the support element. The arrangement of the support element makes it possible to dispense with a further crossmember which would be arranged at a distance from the existing crossmember, which leaves the space underneath the existing crossmember, apart from the at least one support element. This free space allows, for example, a drain pipe to be placed with greater freedom.

Unter der Ausdrucksweise fest in Verbindung stehen wird verstanden, dass eine feste bzw. nicht-trennbare Verbindung zwischen den entsprechenden Elementen besteht, über welche Kräfte übertragbar sind. Die entsprechenden Teile stehen unmittelbar miteinander in Verbindung.The term “firmly connected” means that there is a fixed or non-separable connection between the corresponding elements, via which forces can be transmitted. The corresponding parts are directly connected to each other.

Die Traverse liegt vorzugsweise beabstandet zum oberen Ende der Vertikalstrebe und zum unteren Ende der Vertikalstrebe.The crossmember is preferably spaced apart from the upper end of the vertical strut and the lower end of the vertical strut.

Der Rahmen ist im vollständig montierten Zustand im Wesentlichen einstückig ausgebildet. Das heisst, die Traverse, die Vertikalstreben und die Stützelemente bilden ein einziges Bauteil.In the fully assembled state, the frame is essentially made in one piece. This means that the traverse, the vertical struts and the support elements form a single component.

Vorzugsweise ist pro Vertikalstrebe je ein Stützelement angeordnet, welches die Traverse mit der Vertikalstrebe verbindet, wobei die Stützelemente jeweils beabstandet zueinander angeordnet sind, so dass zwischen den Stützelementen ein freier Zwischenraum ist. Unter einem freien Zwischenraum wird verstanden, dass der Bereich zwischen den Stützenelementen frei bleibt, also nicht durch in diesem Bereich liegende Elemente des Rahmens blockiert wird. Der freie Zwischenraum weist den Vorteil auf, dass eine Rohrleitung, welche mit dem Sanitärartikel in Verbindung steht, gut durch die Montagevorrichtung hindurchführbar ist und an die lokalen Gegebenheiten anpassbar ist. Wie erwähnt ist das Stützelement in Einbaulage der Montagevorrichtung unterhalb der Traverse angeordnet. Oberhalb der Traverse bietet der Rahmen zwischen den Vertikalstreben einen Aufnahmeraum zur Aufnahme eines Spülkastens oder anderen Armaturen.A supporting element is preferably arranged for each vertical strut, which connects the traverse to the vertical strut, the supporting elements being spaced apart from one another are arranged so that there is a free space between the support elements. A free space is understood to mean that the area between the support elements remains free, that is to say is not blocked by elements of the frame located in this area. The free space has the advantage that a pipeline, which is connected to the sanitary article, can be easily passed through the assembly device and can be adapted to the local conditions. As mentioned, the support element is arranged below the crossbar in the installed position of the mounting device. Above the crossbar, the frame between the vertical struts offers a receiving space for receiving a cistern or other fittings.

Vorzugsweise weisen die Vertikalstreben einander zugewandte innenliegende Flächen auf, wobei das Stützelement über diese Flächen mit der jeweiligen Vertikalstrebe in Verbindung steht. Das Stützelement wird also über die innenliegenden Flächen der Vertikalstreben mit der Vertikalstrebe verbunden.The vertical struts preferably have mutually facing inner surfaces, the support element being connected to the respective vertical strut via these surfaces. The support element is thus connected to the vertical strut via the inner surfaces of the vertical struts.

Vorzugsweise liegt das Befestigungselement in der Traverse zwischen dem Verbindungspunkt zwischen dem Stützelement sowie der Traverse und der Vertikalstrebe, die mit dem Stützelement in Verbindung steht. In Einbaulage gesehen liegt das Befestigungselement also über dem Stützelement bzw. in einem Bereich, in dem das Stützenelement mit der Traverse in Verbindung steht. Hierdurch kann die Kraft von der Traverse besonders gut und positionsgenau auf das Stützelement eingeleitet werden.The fastening element is preferably located in the cross member between the connection point between the support element and the cross member and the vertical strut which is connected to the support element. Seen in the installed position, the fastening element therefore lies above the support element or in an area in which the support element is connected to the crossmember. As a result, the force from the crossmember can be applied to the support element in a particularly good and precise manner.

Vorzugsweise ist pro Stützelement jeweils ein Befestigungselement vorhanden.There is preferably one fastening element for each support element.

Vorzugsweise spannen die vorderen Flächen der Vertikalstreben eine Frontebene auf, wobei das Stützenelement mit der besagten Frontebene bündig ist. Alternativ spannt die vordere Fläche der Traverse eine Frontebene auf, wobei das Stützenelement mit der Frontebene bündig ist. Durch die bündige Anordnung der Stützelemente mit der besagen Frontebene kann nicht nur eine kompakte Montagevorrichtung angegeben werden, sondern auch eine optimale Kontaktierung der Traverse und des Stützelementes durch die Sanitärarmatur geschaffen werden. Die Sanitärarmatur kann sich am Stützelement abstützen.The front surfaces of the vertical struts preferably span a front plane, the support element being flush with the said front plane. Alternatively, the front surface of the traverse spans a front plane, the support element being flush with the front plane. Due to the flush arrangement of the support elements with the said front plane, not only can a compact assembly device be specified, but also an optimal contacting of the cross member and the support element by the Sanitary fittings are created. The sanitary fitting can be supported on the support element.

Besonders bevorzugt ist die Frontebene der Traverse gleich der Frontebene der Stützenelemente, wobei dann die vordere Fläche der Traverse bündig mit der vorderen Fläche der Vertikalstreben ist.The front plane of the cross member is particularly preferably equal to the front plane of the support elements, the front surface of the cross member then being flush with the front surface of the vertical struts.

Vorzugsweise verläuft das Stützelement von einem Verbindungspunkt mit der Traverse mit einem Winkel winklig geneigt zur Vertikalstrebe, so dass der Abstand zwischen Stützelement und Vertikalstrebe mit zunehmendem Abstand von der Vertikalstrebe kleiner wird. Der Verbindungspunkt ist die Stelle, welche am weitesten entfernt zur Vertikalstrebe liegt, mit welcher das Stützelement in Verbindung steht. Weiter kann das Stützelement von einem Verbindungspunkt mit der Vertikalstrebe im Wesentlichen rechtwinklig zur Vertikalstrebe bis zu einem Knickpunkt verlaufen, ab welchem das Stützelement dann winklig geneigt zur Vertikalstrebe verläuft.The support element preferably extends from a connection point with the cross member at an angle to the vertical strut, so that the distance between the support element and the vertical strut becomes smaller as the distance from the vertical strut increases. The connection point is the point which is furthest away from the vertical strut with which the support element is connected. Furthermore, the support element can run from a connection point with the vertical strut essentially at right angles to the vertical strut to a kink point, from which the support element then extends at an angle to the vertical strut.

Der Hohlkörper ist ein Körper, welcher mit Wänden begrenzt ist, wobei die Wände mit der Vertikalstrebe und der Traverse in fester Verbindung stehen. Über die Wände, welche auch als flächige Elemente bezeichnet werden können, werden die Kräfte dann von der Traverse in die Vertikalstrebe eingeleitet. Die Traverse kann in einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführung integraler Bestandteil des Hohlkörpers sein.The hollow body is a body which is bounded by walls, the walls being firmly connected to the vertical strut and the cross member. The forces are then introduced into the vertical strut via the walls, which can also be referred to as flat elements. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the traverse can be an integral part of the hollow body.

Vorzugsweise verlaufen das Verstärkungsprofil und/oder die Verstärkungsrippe entlang der beabstandet zur Traverse bzw. der Vertikalstrebe angeordneten Seitenkanten. Zusätzlich oder alternativ können aber auch in anderen Bereichen der Vorderwand und der Rückwand Verstärkungsprofile bzw. Verstärkungsrippen angeordnet sein. Beispielsweise in den flächigen Bereichen.The reinforcement profile and / or the reinforcement rib preferably run along the side edges arranged at a distance from the crossmember or the vertical strut. Additionally or alternatively, reinforcement profiles or reinforcement ribs can also be arranged in other areas of the front wall and the rear wall. For example in the flat areas.

Im erfindungsgemässen Hohlkörper stehen die Vorderwand und die Rückwand über eine erste Verstärkungsrippe und eine zweite Verstärkungsrippe miteinander in Verbindung. Somit begrenzen die Vorderwand, die Rückwand, die erste Verstärkunsgrippe und die zweite Verstärkungsrippe den besagten Hohlkörper. Mit anderen Worten gesagt bilden Vorderwand, Rückwand und die Verstärkungsrippen eine Art Hohlprofil.In the hollow body according to the invention, the front wall and the rear wall are connected to one another via a first reinforcing rib and a second reinforcing rib. The front wall, the rear wall, the first reinforcing flu and the second reinforcing rib thus delimit said hollow body. In other words, the front wall, rear wall and the reinforcing ribs form a kind of hollow profile.

Die erste Verstärkungsrippe und die zweite Verstärkungsrippe sind bevorzugt beabstandet zueinander angeordnet und verbinden jeweils die Seitenkanten der Vorderwand und der Rückwand miteinander. Folglich begrenzen die Verstärkungsrippen den besagten Hohlkörper.The first reinforcing rib and the second reinforcing rib are preferably arranged at a distance from one another and in each case connect the side edges of the front wall and the rear wall to one another. Consequently, the reinforcing ribs limit said hollow body.

Vorzugsweise begrenzen die erste Verstärkungsrippe, die Vertikalstrebe sowie die Traverse einen weiteren freien Zwischenraum. Der weitere freie Zwischenraum liegt dabei zwischen der Vertikalstrebe, der Traverse und dem Hohlkörper und ist ein zusätzlicher Zwischenraum zu demjenigen, der zwischen zwei Stützelementen liegt. Durch den weiteren freien Zwischenraum könnten weiter Anschlussleitungen zum Sanitärartikel geführt werden. Darüber hinaus verringert das Vorsehen des besagten weiteren Zwischenraums das Gewicht und begünstigt die Herstellung.The first reinforcing rib, the vertical strut and the crossmember preferably delimit a further free space. The further free space is between the vertical strut, the cross member and the hollow body and is an additional space to the one that lies between two support elements. Connection lines to the sanitary articles could be led through the further free space. In addition, the provision of said further space reduces weight and favors manufacture.

Vorzugsweise weist die erste Verstärkungsrippe einen Vertikalabschnitt und einen sich daran anschliessenden Horizontalabschnitt auf, wobei der Vertikalabschnitt parallel und beabstandet zur Vertikalstrebe verläuft und der Horizontalabschnitt winklig geneigt, insbesondere rechtwinklig, zur Vertikalstrebe verläuft, und wobei der Vertikalabschnitt mit der Traverse und der Horizontalabschnitt mit der Vertikalstrebe in Verbindung steht. Der Vertikalabschnitt und der Horizontalabschnitt begrenzen den besagten weiteren freien Zwischenraum.The first reinforcing rib preferably has a vertical section and an adjoining horizontal section, the vertical section running parallel and spaced apart from the vertical strut and the horizontal section being inclined at an angle, in particular at right angles, to the vertical strut, and wherein the vertical section with the crossmember and the horizontal section with the vertical strut communicates. The vertical section and the horizontal section limit said further free space.

Vorzugsweise weist die zweite Verstärkungsrippe einen Vertikalabschnitt und einen sich daran anschliessenden Horizontalabschnitt auf, wobei der Vertikalabschnitt parallel und beabstandet zur Vertikalstrebe verläuft und der Horizontalabschnitt winklig geneigt, insbesondere rechtwinklig, zur Vertikalstrebe verläuft, und wobei der Vertikalabschnitt mit der Traverse und der Horizontalabschnitt mit der Vertikalstrebe in Verbindung steht. Die zweite Verstärkungsrippe ist zum freien Zwischenraum zwischen den Stützelemente angeordnet und bildet eine Begrenzung dazu.The second reinforcing rib preferably has a vertical section and a horizontal section adjoining it, the vertical section running parallel and spaced apart from the vertical strut and the horizontal section being inclined at an angle, in particular at right angles, to the vertical strut, and wherein the vertical section with the crossmember and the horizontal section with the vertical strut communicates. The second reinforcing rib is arranged in relation to the free space between the support elements and forms a boundary therefor.

Vorzugsweise steht der Vertikalabschnitt der zweiten Verstärkungsrippe in einem grösseren Abstand quer zur Vertikalstrebe gesehen zur Vertikalstrebe als die erste Verstärkungsrippe.The vertical section of the second reinforcing rib is preferably at a greater distance from the vertical strut, seen transversely to the vertical strut, than the first reinforcing rib.

Vorzugsweise werden Teile des Hohlkörpers, insbesondere Teile der ersten und der zweiten Verstärkungsrippen, durch eine Ausnehmung durch die Traverse hindurch geführt und wobei die Traverse einen sich von der Traverse gegenüber des Hohlkörpers weg erstreckende Verstärkungsabschnitt aufweist, zu welchem die besagten Teile des Hohlkörpers verbunden sind.Preferably, parts of the hollow body, in particular parts of the first and second reinforcing ribs, are guided through a recess through the cross member and the cross member has a reinforcing section extending from the cross member opposite the hollow body, to which said parts of the hollow body are connected.

Vorzugsweise spannen die vordere Fläche der Vertikalstreben bzw. die vordere Fläche der Traverse eine Frontebene auf und die hintere Fläche der Vertikalstreben bzw. die hintere Fläche der Traverse eine Rückebene auf, wobei der Hohlkörper zwischen diesen beiden Ebenen oder deckungsgleich zu diesen Ebenen liegt, oder wobei der Hohlkörper auf einer Seite bündig mit der Frontebene ist oder zwischen Frontebene und Rückebene liegt und auf der anderen Seite über die Rückebene hervorsteht.Preferably, the front surface of the vertical struts or the front surface of the cross member spans a front plane and the rear surface of the vertical struts or the rear surface of the cross member spans a back plane, the hollow body lying between these two planes or being congruent with these planes, or wherein the hollow body is flush with the front level on one side or lies between the front level and the rear level and protrudes beyond the rear level on the other side.

Besonders bevorzugt ist das Stützelement wie auch der Rahmen aus Metall. Das Stützelement ist dann stoffschlüssig, insbesondere über eine Schweissverbindung, mit der Traverse und der Metallstrebe verbunden. Alternativ oder zusätzlich kann das Stützelement auch formschlüssig bzw. kraftschlüssig mit der Traverse und der Metallstrebe in Verbindung stehen. In einer alternativen Ausführungsform ist das Stützelement aus Kunststoff und formschlüssig oder kraftschlüssig mit dem der Traverse und der Vertikalstrebe in Verbindung steht. In dieser Alternative ist der Rahmen vorzugsweise aus Metall ausgebildet.The support element and the frame made of metal are particularly preferred. The support element is then cohesively connected, in particular via a welded connection, to the crossmember and the metal strut. As an alternative or in addition, the support element can also be connected to the crossmember and the metal strut in a positive or non-positive manner. In an alternative embodiment, the support element is made of plastic and is positively or non-positively connected to the crossmember and the vertical strut. In this alternative, the frame is preferably made of metal.

Vorzugsweise steht das mindestens eine Befestigungselement mit einer Gewindestange in Kontakt, welche im Wesentlichen senkrecht zum Rahmen und zur Vertikalstrebe wegsteht und mit dem Sanitärartikel in Kontakt bringbar ist. Das Befestigungselement weist für die Aufnahme der Gewindestange ein entsprechendes Innengewinde auf.The at least one fastening element is preferably in contact with a threaded rod which projects substantially perpendicular to the frame and the vertical strut and can be brought into contact with the sanitary article. The fastening element has a corresponding internal thread for receiving the threaded rod.

Vorzugsweise ist mindestens eine, vorzugsweise jede, der Vertikalstreben mit einer Fussstütze in Verbindung, über welche Fussstütze die Montagevorrichtung auf einem Boden aufsteht, wobei die Fusssstütze vorzugsweise relativ zur Vertikalstrebe verschiebbar und zur Vertikalstrebe arretierbar ausgebildet ist.Preferably, at least one, preferably each, of the vertical struts is connected to a footrest, via which footrest the mounting device stands on a floor, the footrest preferably being designed to be displaceable relative to the vertical strut and lockable to the vertical strut.

Die Vertikalstreben sind vorzugsweise als Vierkantrohre mit quadratischem oder rechteckigem Querschnitt ausgebildet. Die Traverse ist vorzugsweise ein U-Profil.The vertical struts are preferably designed as square tubes with a square or rectangular cross section. The traverse is preferably a U-profile.

Zusätzlich zur besagten Traverse sind am oberen Ende die Vertikalstreben mit einem Verbindungsstab verbunden. Der Verbindungsstab nimmt aber keine wesentlichen Lasten auf.In addition to the said crossbeam, the vertical struts are connected to a connecting rod at the upper end. The connecting rod does not take up any significant loads.

Vorzugsweise ist die maximale Ausdehnung des Stützelementes in Richtung der Längsachse der Vertikalstreben gesehen im Bereich von 150 mm bis 400 mm, insbesondere im Bereich von 200 mm bis 300 mm. Besonders bevorzugt ist die Ausdehnung bei 250 mm.The maximum extension of the support element in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the vertical struts is preferably in the range from 150 mm to 400 mm, in particular in the range from 200 mm to 300 mm. The expansion at 250 mm is particularly preferred.

In der besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform besteht der Rahmen der Montagevorrichtung aus genau zwei beabstandet zueinander angeordneten Vertikalstreben, welche über genaue eine Traverse mit Befestigungselementen und genau ein Verbindungsstab miteinander verbunden sind, und aus genau zwei Stützelement nach obiger Beschreibung, welche mit der Traverse und jeweils einer Vertikalstrebe in Verbindung stehen, wobei die Traverse beabstandet zwischen einem oberen Ende und einem unteren Ende der Vertikalstreben liegt und der Verbindungsstab am oberen Ende platziert ist.In the particularly preferred embodiment, the frame of the mounting device consists of exactly two spaced-apart vertical struts, which are connected to one another via precise one cross-piece with fastening elements and exactly one connecting rod, and from exactly two support elements as described above, which are connected to the cross-piece and one vertical strut each are connected, the cross-member is spaced between an upper end and a lower end of the vertical struts and the connecting rod is placed at the upper end.

BESCHREIBUNG BEVORZUGTER AUSFÜHRUNGSFORMENDESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

In den Figuren 1 bis 7 werden drei verschiedene Ausführungsformen einer Montagevorrichtung 1 zur Positionierung bzw. Befestigung eines Sanitärartikels 2 gezeigt. Bezüglich aller Ausführungsformen in allen Figuren werden gleiche Teile mit gleichen Bezugszeichen versehen. Die Montagevorrichtung 1 ist im eingebauten Zustand typischerweise hinter oder in einer Vorwand angeordnet. Der Sanitärartikel 2 ist beispielsweise eine Klosettschüssel, er kann aber auch ein Waschtisch oder ähnliches sein. In den Figuren ist der Sanitärartikel 2 schematisch mit einer Umfangslinie dargestellt. Die Umfangslinie entspricht im Wesentlichen der Kontaktfläche des Sanitärartikels mit der Vorwand.In the Figures 1 to 7 Three different embodiments of a mounting device 1 for positioning or fastening a sanitary article 2 are shown. With regard to all embodiments in all figures, the same parts are provided with the same reference numerals. The mounting device 1 is in the installed state typically arranged behind or in a pretext. The sanitary article 2 is, for example, a toilet bowl, but it can also be a washstand or the like. In the figures, the sanitary article 2 is shown schematically with a circumferential line. The circumference essentially corresponds to the contact area of the sanitary article with the pretext.

Die erfindungsgemässe Montagevorrichtung 1, welche in den Figuren 1 bis 7 gezeigt wird, umfasst einen den Sanitärartikel 2 tragenden Rahmen 3 mit wenigstens zwei beabstandet zueinander verlaufenden Vertikalstreben 4 und mindestens einer Traverse 5. Die Traverse steht fest mit den Vertikalstreben 4 in Verbindung und verbindet die Vertikalstreben 4 miteinander. Die Traverse 5 erstreckt sich zwischen den beiden Vertikalstreben 4 und ist am jeweiligen Ende mit der Vertikalstrebe 4 in Verbindung. Die Traverse 5 liegt bevorzugt beabstandet von den Enden der Vertikalstrebe 4, so dass eine H-förmige Struktur bereitgestellt wird.The mounting device 1 according to the invention, which in the Figures 1 to 7 is shown, comprises a frame 3 carrying the sanitary article 2 with at least two spaced-apart vertical struts 4 and at least one crossbar 5. The crossbar is firmly connected to the vertical struts 4 and connects the vertical struts 4 to one another. The cross member 5 extends between the two vertical struts 4 and is connected to the vertical strut 4 at the respective end. The cross member 5 is preferably spaced from the ends of the vertical strut 4, so that an H-shaped structure is provided.

In den gezeigten Ausführungsformen umfasst der Rahmen 3 genau zwei beabstandet zueinander verlaufende Vertikalstreben 4 und genau eine die Vertikalstreben 4 verbindende Traverse 5.In the embodiments shown, the frame 3 comprises exactly two spaced-apart vertical struts 4 and exactly one crossbar 5 connecting the vertical struts 4.

Die Traverse 5 umfasst mindestens ein Befestigungselement 23, hier zwei beabstandet zueinander angeordnete Befestigungselemente 23, über welche der Sanitärartikel 2 zur Montagevorrichtung 1 befestigbar ist. Die Befestigungselemente 23 sind vorzugsweise Öffnung oder Gewindeöffnungen.The crossmember 5 comprises at least one fastening element 23, here two fastening elements 23 arranged at a distance from one another, via which the sanitary article 2 can be fastened to the mounting device 1. The fastening elements 23 are preferably openings or threaded openings.

Der Rahmen 3 der Montagevorrichtung 1 umfasst weiter mindestens ein Stützelement 6, welches fest mit der Traverse 5 und fest mit einer der Vertikalstreben 4 in Verbindung steht. In den gezeigten Ausführungsformen ist jeweils pro Vertikalstrebe 4 ein Stützelement 6 angeordnet. Bei genau zwei Vertikalstreben 4 sind also genau zwei Stützelemente 6 angeordnet. Die Stützelemente 6 stehen mit der besagten einen Traverse 5 und mit den jeweils benachbarten Vertikalstreben 4 fest in Verbindung.The frame 3 of the mounting device 1 further comprises at least one support element 6 which is firmly connected to the cross member 5 and firmly to one of the vertical struts 4. In the embodiments shown, a support element 6 is arranged for each vertical strut 4. With exactly two vertical struts 4, exactly two support elements 6 are arranged. The support elements 6 are firmly connected to said one cross member 5 and to the adjacent vertical struts 4.

Bei der Belastung der Traverse 5 über die Befestigungselemente 23, an welchen der Sanitärartikel 2 befestigt ist, resultieren Kräfte, welche über das mindestens eine Stützelement 6 von der Traverse 5 in die Vertikalstreben 4 eingeleitet werden. Das Stützelement 6 stützt also die Traverse 5 gegenüber dem Stützelement 6 entsprechend ab. Durch die Anordnung des mindestens einen Stützelementes 6 kann auf die Anordnung einer weiteren Traverse, welche wesentliche Kräfte aufnimmt, zwischen den beiden Vertikalstreben verzichtet werden. Mit anderen Worten erlaubt das Stützelement 6 die Anordnung von nur einer Traverse 5, welche wesentliche vom Sanitärartikel und des Benutzers resultierende Kräfte aufnimmt.When the crossbar 5 is loaded via the fastening elements 23 to which the sanitary article 2 is fastened, forces result which are greater than the at least one Support element 6 are introduced into the vertical struts 4 by the cross member 5. The support element 6 thus supports the cross member 5 with respect to the support element 6 accordingly. The arrangement of the at least one support element 6 means that there is no need to arrange a further cross member, which absorbs significant forces, between the two vertical struts. In other words, the support element 6 allows the arrangement of only one cross member 5, which absorbs essential forces resulting from the sanitary article and the user.

Besonders bevorzugt ist bei allen Ausführungsformen pro Vertikalstrebe 4 jeweils ein Stützelement 6 angeordnet, welches die Traverse 5 mit der jeweiligen Vertikalstrebe 4 verbindet. Die Stützelemente 6 sind jeweils beabstandet zueinander angeordnet, sodass zwischen Stützelementen 6 ein freier Zwischenraum 7 vorhanden ist bzw. geschaffen wird. Der freie Zwischenraum 7 liegt dabei im Bereich zwischen der Traverse 5 und den Vertikalstreben 4 sowie zwischen den Stützelementen 6. Der freie Zwischenraum 7 ist in dem Sinne als freier Zwischenraum ausgebildet, als dass keine Elemente der Montagevorrichtung 1 bzw. des Rahmens 2 diesen freien Zwischenraum 7 durchdringen. Durch diesen freien Zwischenraum 7 lässt sich beispielsweise eine Rohrleitung, die mit dem Sanitärartikel 2 in Verbindung steht, hindurchführen. Beispielsweise für Abwasser oder für Frischwasser.In all embodiments, a support element 6 is particularly preferably arranged per vertical strut 4, which connects the cross member 5 to the respective vertical strut 4. The support elements 6 are each arranged at a distance from one another, so that a free space 7 is present or created between support elements 6. The free space 7 lies in the area between the crossmember 5 and the vertical struts 4 and between the support elements 6. The free space 7 is designed as a free space in the sense that no elements of the mounting device 1 or the frame 2 have this free space 7 penetrate. A pipe, which is connected to the sanitary article 2, can be passed through this free space 7, for example. For example for waste water or fresh water.

In allen Ausführungsformen gemäss den Figuren 1 bis 7 ist das Stützelement 6 in Einbaulage unterhalb der Traverse 5 angeordnet.In all embodiments according to the Figures 1 to 7 the support element 6 is arranged in the installed position below the cross member 5.

Die Traverse 5 weist jeweils zwei Enden 25 auf. Über diese beiden Enden 25 steht die Traverse 5 fest mit der jeweiligen Vertikalstrebe 4 in Verbindung. Besonders bevorzugt wird die Traverse 5 an den Enden 25 stoffschlüssig und/oder formschlüssig mit der jeweiligen Vertikalstrebe 4 verbunden. Eine kraftschlüssige Verbindung in Alleinstellung oder als Unterstützung ist auch möglich. Die Vertikalstreben 4 weisen also einander zugewandte Flächen auf, wobei die Traverse 5 über diese Flächen 26 mit der jeweiligen Vertikalstrebe 4 in Verbindung steht. Vorzugsweise stehen auch die Stützelemente 6 über diese Flächen 26 mit der jeweiligen Vertikalstrebe 4 in Verbindung.The cross member 5 has two ends 25 each. The crossbar 5 is firmly connected to the respective vertical strut 4 via these two ends 25. The cross member 5 is particularly preferably connected to the respective vertical strut 4 at the ends 25 in a material-locking and / or form-locking manner. A positive connection on its own or as support is also possible. The vertical struts 4 thus have mutually facing surfaces, the cross member 5 being connected to the respective vertical strut 4 via these surfaces 26. The support elements 6 are preferably also connected to the respective vertical strut 4 via these surfaces 26.

Die Traverse 5 weist in der vorliegenden Ausführungsform eine untere Kontaktfläche 27 auf, über welche das Stützelement 6 mit der Traverse 5 in Verbindung steht. Sofern das Stützelement in Einbaulage oberhalb der Traverse angeordnet ist, liegt die Kontaktfläche auf der oberen Seite der Traverse 5.In the present embodiment, the cross member 5 has a lower contact surface 27, via which the support element 6 is connected to the cross member 5. If the support element is arranged above the crossbar in the installed position, the contact surface lies on the upper side of the crossbar 5.

Das Befestigungselement 23 ist in allen Ausführungsformen gemäss der vorliegenden Erfindung in der Traverse 5 angeordnet. Die Befestigungselemente 23 liegen dabei im Bereich zwischen der innersten Verbindungsstelle 8 zwischen Traverse 5 und Stützelement 6 und Vertikalstrebe 4, die mit dem jeweiligen Stützelement 6 in Verbindung steht, platziert. Mit anderen Worten gesagt liegt das Befestigungselement 23 in der Einbaulage gesehen im Wirkbereich des Stützelementes 6, also oberhalb beziehungsweise unterhalb des Stützelementes 6. Hierdurch kann eine besonders gute Einleitung der vom Sanitärartikel 2 resultierenden Kraft in das Stützelement 6 erreicht werden. Das Befestigungselement 23 steht fest mit der Traverse 5 in Verbindung. Vorzugsweise können auch mehrere Befestigungselemente 23 nebeneinander angeordnet sein.The fastening element 23 is arranged in the crossmember 5 in all embodiments according to the present invention. The fastening elements 23 are located in the area between the innermost connection point 8 between the cross member 5 and the support element 6 and the vertical strut 4, which is connected to the respective support element 6. In other words, the fastening element 23, seen in the installed position, lies in the effective area of the support element 6, that is to say above or below the support element 6. In this way, a particularly good introduction of the force resulting from the sanitary article 2 into the support element 6 can be achieved. The fastening element 23 is firmly connected to the cross member 5. A plurality of fastening elements 23 can preferably also be arranged next to one another.

Bei allen erfindungsgemässen Ausführungsformen spannt die vordere Fläche 19 der Vertikalstreben 4 eine Frontebene 20 bzw. die vordere Fläche 29 der Traverse 5 spannt eine Frontebene 20 auf. Die vordere Fläche 19 der Vertikalstrebe 4 ist vorzugsweise deckungsgleich mit der vorderen Fläche 29 der Traverse 5. Das Stützelement 6 ist mit der Frontebene 20 bündig ausgebildet. Mit anderen Worten gesagt ragen keine Teile des Stützelementes 6 durch die Frontebene 20 hindurch, was den Vorteil aufweist, dass mit der Montagevorrichtung 20 eine definierte Ebene geschaffen werden kann, welche für den Installateur eine Referenzebene beim Einbau ist.In all the embodiments according to the invention, the front surface 19 of the vertical struts 4 spans a front plane 20 or the front surface 29 of the cross member 5 spans a front plane 20. The front surface 19 of the vertical strut 4 is preferably congruent with the front surface 29 of the cross member 5. The support element 6 is designed to be flush with the front plane 20. In other words, no parts of the support element 6 protrude through the front plane 20, which has the advantage that the assembly device 20 can be used to create a defined plane, which is a reference plane for the installer during installation.

Gleiches gilt vorzugsweise auch für die Rückseite der Montagevorrichtung 1, wobei sich hier die verschiedenen Ausführungsformen voneinander unterscheiden. In der Ausführungsform gemäss den Figuren 1 und 2 ist das Stützelement 6 sowohl mit der Rückebene 22 als auch mit der Frontebene 20 bündig. In der Ausführungsform nach den Figuren 3 und 4 ragen Teile des Stützelementes 6 über die durch die hintere Fläche 21 der Vertikalstreben 4 gebildete Rückebene 22 hinaus. Bezüglich der Frontebene 20 ist das Stützelement 6 aber bündig ausgebildet.The same preferably also applies to the rear of the assembly device 1, the different embodiments differing from one another here. In the embodiment according to the Figures 1 and 2nd the support element 6 is flush with the back plane 22 as well as with the front plane 20. In the embodiment according to the Figures 3 and 4th parts of the support element 6 project beyond the rear plane 22 formed by the rear surface 21 of the vertical struts 4. With regard to the front plane 20, the support element 6 is designed to be flush.

In allen Ausführungsformen der Montagevorrichtung gemäss der vorliegenden Erfindung verläuft die äussere Geometrie des Stützelementes 6 im Wesentlichen gleich. Das Stützelement 6 verläuft vom Verbindungspunkt 8 mit der Traverse 5 winklig geneigt zur Vertikalstrebe 4. Diese winklige Neigung wird in den Figuren mit dem Winkel α angegeben. Die winklige Neigung ist dabei so, dass der Abstand A zwischen dem Stützelement 6 und der Vertikalstrebe 4 mit zunehmenden Abstand B von der Vertikalstrebe 4 kleiner wird. Das heisst mit anderen Worten, dass der Zwischenraum 7 zwischen den zwei Stützelementen 6 mit zunehmendem Abstand von der Traverse 5 grösser wird.In all embodiments of the assembly device according to the present invention, the outer geometry of the support element 6 runs essentially the same. The support element 6 extends from the connection point 8 with the cross member 5 at an angle to the vertical strut 4. This angle is indicated in the figures by the angle α. The angular inclination is such that the distance A between the support element 6 and the vertical strut 4 becomes smaller with increasing distance B from the vertical strut 4. In other words, this means that the space 7 between the two support elements 6 increases with increasing distance from the cross member 5.

Vom untersten Verbindungspunkt 9 zwischen dem Stützelement 6 und der Vertikalstrebe 4 verläuft das Stützelement 6 im Wesentlichen rechtwinklig zur Vertikalstrebe 4 bis zu einem Knickpunkt 28, ab welchem das Stützelement 6 dann mit der besagten winkligen Neigung mit dem Winkel α zur Vertikalstrebe 4 verläuft. Der Knickpunkt 28 bildet also den Übergang vom rechtwinkligen Verlauf hin zum geneigten Verlauf, welcher mit dem Winkel α zur Traverse steht.From the lowest connection point 9 between the support element 6 and the vertical strut 4, the support element 6 runs essentially at right angles to the vertical strut 4 to a break point 28, from which the support element 6 then runs with the said angular inclination with the angle α to the vertical strut 4. The kink 28 thus forms the transition from the right-angled course to the inclined course, which is at an angle α to the crossbar.

Das Stützelement 6 als solches kann verschiedenartig ausgebildet sein. Beispielsweise kann das Stützelement 6 als Profilstab ausgebildet sein, welches sich entlang einer Längsachse erstreckt. Der Profilstab ist vorzugsweise ein U-Profil oder T-Profil, welches aus Metall hergestellt ist. Die Vertikalstreben sind vorzugsweise rohrförmig mit einem Vierkantrohr ausgebildet.The support element 6 as such can be designed in various ways. For example, the support element 6 can be designed as a profile rod which extends along a longitudinal axis. The profile bar is preferably a U-profile or T-profile, which is made of metal. The vertical struts are preferably tubular with a square tube.

In den gezeigten Ausführungsformen nach den Figuren 1 bis 7 ist das Stützelement 6 ein Hohlkörper 10, welcher die Traverse 5 abstützt. Unter einem Hohlkörper wird im Wesentlichen ein Körper verstanden, welcher entweder ganz oder teilweise durch strukturelle Elemente begrenzt ist, wobei die strukturellen Elemente einen Hohlraum begrenzen. Der Hohlkörper 10 weist eine Vorderwand 11 und eine beabstandet zur Vorderwand 11 angeordnete Rückwand 12 auf. Die Vorderwand 11 und die Rückwand 12 sind über die den Vertikalstreben 4 und der Traverse 5 zugewandten Seitenkanten 13, 14 mit der jeweiligen Vertikalstrebe 4 beziehungsweise mit der Traverse 5 in Verbindung. In der vorliegenden Ausführungsform verläuft die Seitenkante 13 der Vorderwand 11 bzw. der Rückwand 12 in der Vertikalen und steht vorzugsweise über die gesamte Länge mit der Vertikalstrebe 4 in Verbindung. Die Seitenkante 14 der Vorderwand 11 bzw. der Rückwand 12 verläuft in der Horizontalen und steht, vorzugsweise über die gesamte Länge der Seitenkante 14 mit der Traverse 5 in Verbindung. Besonders bevorzugt wird eine Schweissnaht entlang der vollständigen Länge der jeweiligen Seitenkante 13, 14 vorgesehen, welche die Vorderwand 11 und die Rückwand 12 mit der Vertikalstrebe 4 bzw. der Traverse 5 verbinden. Die Seitenkanten 13, 14 erstrecken sich in den ersten beiden Ausführungsformen nach den Figuren 1 bis 4 vom jeweiligen Verbindungspunkt 8, 9 bis hin zum Schnittpunkt zwischen Vertikalstrebe 4 und Traverse 5. In der dritten Ausführungsform nach den Figuren 5 bis 7 sind die Seitenkanten 13, 14 verkürzter ausgebildet und sie erstrecken sich vom jeweiligen Verbindungspunkt 8, 9 nicht bis zum besagten Schnittpunkt, wodurch ein weiterer freier Zwischenraum 39 geschaffen wird. Letzterer wird dann mit Bezug zu den Figuren 5 bis 7 unten noch detaillierter erläutert.In the embodiments shown after the Figures 1 to 7 the support element 6 is a hollow body 10 which supports the cross member 5. A hollow body is essentially understood to mean a body which is either completely or partially delimited by structural elements, the structural elements delimiting a hollow space. The hollow body 10 has a front wall 11 and a rear wall 12 arranged at a distance from the front wall 11. The front wall 11 and the rear wall 12 are connected via the side edges 13, 14 facing the vertical struts 4 and the cross member 5 to the respective vertical strut 4 or to the cross member 5. In the present embodiment, the side edge 13 of the front wall 11 or the rear wall 12 in the vertical and is preferably connected to the vertical strut 4 over the entire length. The side edge 14 of the front wall 11 or the rear wall 12 runs horizontally and is connected to the cross member 5, preferably over the entire length of the side edge 14. A weld seam is particularly preferably provided along the entire length of the respective side edge 13, 14, which connects the front wall 11 and the rear wall 12 to the vertical strut 4 or the cross member 5. The side edges 13, 14 extend in the first two embodiments according to the Figures 1 to 4 from the respective connection point 8, 9 to the intersection between the vertical strut 4 and the crossmember 5. In the third embodiment according to the Figures 5 to 7 the side edges 13, 14 are shorter and they do not extend from the respective connection point 8, 9 to the said intersection, thereby creating a further free space 39. The latter is then related to the Figures 5 to 7 explained in more detail below.

Die Vorderwand 11 und die Rückwand 12 selbst stehen ebenfalls miteinander in Verbindung. Beispielsweise über ein Verstärkungsprofil 15 und/oder mindestens eine Verstärkungsrippe 16. Verstärkungsprofil 15 und Verstärkungsrippe 16 liegen zwischen der Vorderwand 11 und der Rückwand 12.The front wall 11 and the rear wall 12 themselves are also connected to one another. For example, via a reinforcement profile 15 and / or at least one reinforcement rib 16. Reinforcement profile 15 and reinforcement rib 16 lie between the front wall 11 and the rear wall 12.

In der Ausführungsform gemäss den Figuren 1 und 2 ist eine Verstärkungsrippe 16 angeordnet. Die Verstärkungsrippe 16 kann in der Figur 1 im rechten Stützelement 6, bei welchem die Vorderwand nicht dargestellt ist, gut erkannt werden. Die Verstärkungsrippe 16 verläuft dabei entlang der beabstandet zur Traverse 5 bzw. zur Vertikalstrebe 4 liegenden Seitenkanten 17, 18. Die Verstärkungsrippe 16 erstreckt sich dabei vollständig über die entsprechenden Seitenkanten 17, 18 der Vorderwand 11 bzw. der Rückwand 12. In der gezeigten Ausführungsform sind die Verstärkungsrippen 16 also bündig mit den Seitenkanten 17, 18 angeordnet. In anderen Ausführungsformen können die Verstärkungsrippen 16 auch beabstandet zu den Seitenkanten 17, 18 angeordnet sein oder es ist auch denkbar, dass mehrere Verstärkungsrippen 16 beabstandet zueinander zwischen der Vorderwand 11 und der Rückwand 12 angeordnet sind.In the embodiment according to the Figures 1 and 2nd a reinforcing rib 16 is arranged. The reinforcing rib 16 can in the Figure 1 can be clearly recognized in the right support element 6, in which the front wall is not shown. The reinforcing rib 16 runs along the side edges 17, 18 which are spaced apart from the crossmember 5 and the vertical strut 4. The reinforcing rib 16 extends completely over the corresponding side edges 17, 18 of the front wall 11 and the rear wall 12 respectively the reinforcing ribs 16 are thus arranged flush with the side edges 17, 18. In other embodiments, the reinforcing ribs 16 can also be arranged at a distance from the side edges 17, 18 or it is also conceivable that a plurality of reinforcing ribs 16 are arranged at a distance from one another between the front wall 11 and the rear wall 12.

In der Ausführungsform gemäss den Figuren 3 und 4 wird ein Verstärkungsprofil 15 gezeigt, welches im Wesentlichen U-förmig ausgebildet ist. Das Verstärkungsprofil 15 verläuft dabei gleichermassen wie Verstärkungsrippe 16 und erstreckt sich hier der Seitenkanten 17 und 18 der Vorderwand 11 bzw. der Rückwand 12. Es ist aber auch denkbar, dass das Verstärkungsprofil 15 beabstandet zu Seitenkanten 17 und 18 verläuft oder, dass mehrere Verstärkungsprofile 15 beabstandet zueinander zwischen der Vorderwand 11 und der Rückwand 12 angeordnet sind.In the embodiment according to the Figures 3 and 4th a reinforcing profile 15 is shown, which is essentially U-shaped. The reinforcement profile 15 runs in the same way as the reinforcing rib 16 and here extends the side edges 17 and 18 of the front wall 11 and the rear wall 12 the front wall 11 and the rear wall 12 are arranged.

In der Ausführungsformen gemäss den Figuren 5 bis 7 sind pro Hohlkörper jeweils zwei Verstärkungsrippen 36, 37 angeordnet, was weiter unten noch detailliert erläutert wird.In the embodiments according to the Figures 5 to 7 two reinforcing ribs 36, 37 are arranged per hollow body, which will be explained in more detail below.

Wie oben bereits erläutert, ist es vorteilhaft, dass der Hohlkörper 10 sich nicht über die Frontebene 20, welche über die vordere Fläche 19 der Vertikalstreben 4 aufgespannt wird, erstreckt. In den Ausführungsformen gemäss den Figuren 1 und 2 bzw. 3 und 4 erstreckt sich der Hohlkörper 10 auch nicht über die Rückebene 22, welche durch die hintere Fläche 21 der Vertikalstreben 4 aufgespannt wird, hinaus. Der Hohlkörper liegt also zwischen der Frontebene 20 und der Rückebene 22. Besonders bevorzugt ist der Hohlkörper 10 mit der Vorderwand 11 deckungsgleich mit der Frontebene 20 und mit der Rückwand 12 deckungsgleich mit der Rückebene 22. In der Ausführungsform gemäss den Figuren 5 und 6 ist die Vorderwand 11 des Hohlkörpers 10 deckungsgleich mit der Frontebene 20 und die Rückwand 12 des Hohlkörpers 10 liegt beabstandet zur Rückebene 22. Der Hohlkörper 10 durchdringt also die Rückebene 22.As already explained above, it is advantageous that the hollow body 10 does not extend over the front plane 20, which is spanned over the front surface 19 of the vertical struts 4. In the embodiments according to the Figures 1 and 2nd or 3 and 4, the hollow body 10 also does not extend beyond the rear plane 22, which is spanned by the rear surface 21 of the vertical struts 4. The hollow body thus lies between the front plane 20 and the back plane 22. Particularly preferably, the hollow body 10 with the front wall 11 is congruent with the front plane 20 and with the back wall 12 is congruent with the back plane 22. In the embodiment according to FIGS Figures 5 and 6 the front wall 11 of the hollow body 10 is congruent with the front plane 20 and the rear wall 12 of the hollow body 10 lies at a distance from the back plane 22. The hollow body 10 thus penetrates the back plane 22.

Je nach Ausführungsform des Stützelementes 6 kann es erforderlich sein, die Vertikalstreben 4 zu verstärken. In der zweiten Ausführungsform sind für die Verstärkung der Vertikalstreben 4 Stützbleche 35 angeordnet. Die Stützbleche 35 erstrecken sich dabei von der Traverse 5 gesehen in Richtung des Stützelementes 6 und in Gegenrichtung zum Stützelement 6 nach oben. Die Stützbleche 35 erstrecken sich hier über die besagte Ebene hinaus.Depending on the embodiment of the support element 6, it may be necessary to reinforce the vertical struts 4. In the second embodiment, 4 support plates 35 are arranged for the reinforcement of the vertical struts. The support plates 35 extend from the cross member 5 in the direction of the support element 6 and in the opposite direction to the support element 6 upwards. The support plates 35 here extend beyond said plane.

Besonders bevorzugt ist das Stützelement 6 in allen Ausführungsformen aus Metall und kann stoffschlüssig, insbesondere über eine Schweissverbindung und/oder formschlüssig beziehungsweise kraftschlüssig mit der Traverse 5 verbunden werden.In all embodiments, the support element 6 is particularly preferably made of metal and can be connected to the cross member 5 in a material connection, in particular via a welded connection and / or in a form-fitting or non-positive manner.

Alternativ kann das Stützelement 6 auch aus Kunststoff sein und dabei formschlüssig und/oder kraftschlüssig mit der Traverse 5 und der Vertikalstrebe 4 in Verbindung stehen.Alternatively, the support element 6 can also be made of plastic and thereby form-fit and / or are non-positively connected to the cross member 5 and the vertical strut 4.

Das mindestens eine Befestigungselement 23 weist vorzugsweise eine Gewindeöffnung 31 auf, welche der Aufnahme einer Gewindestange dient. Die Gewindestange, welche hier nicht gezeigt wird, steht dabei im Wesentlichen senkrecht zum Rahmen drei beziehungsweise zur Vertikalstrebe 4 und der Traverse 5 weg und ist mit dem Sanitärartikel 2 in Kontakt bringbar.The at least one fastening element 23 preferably has a threaded opening 31, which serves to receive a threaded rod. The threaded rod, which is not shown here, stands essentially perpendicular to the frame three or to the vertical strut 4 and the cross member 5 and can be brought into contact with the sanitary article 2.

Besonders bevorzugt weist jede der Vertikalstreben 4 eine Fussstütze 24 auf. Über die Fussstütze 24 steht die Montagevorrichtung 1 auf einem Boden auf. Die Fussstützen 24 sind dabei besonders bevorzugt relativ zur Vertikalstrebe 4 verschiebbar und zur Vertikalstrebe 4 arretierbar ausgebildet. In der vorliegenden Ausführungsform ragt die Fussstütze 24 in die Vertikalstrebe 4 hinein und kann mit einer Befestigungsschraube 32 zur Vertikalstrebe 4 arretiert werden. Mit anderen Worten gesagt ist die Fussstütze 24 zur Vertikalstrebe 4 verschiebbar und zur Vertikalstrebe 4 feststellbar ausgebildet.Each of the vertical struts 4 particularly preferably has a footrest 24. The mounting device 1 stands on a floor via the footrest 24. The footrests 24 are particularly preferably displaceable relative to the vertical strut 4 and lockable to the vertical strut 4. In the present embodiment, the footrest 24 protrudes into the vertical strut 4 and can be locked with a fastening screw 32 to the vertical strut 4. In other words, the footrest 24 can be moved relative to the vertical strut 4 and can be locked relative to the vertical strut 4.

Zusätzlich zur besagten Traverse 5 weisen die in den Figuren gezeigten Ausführungsformen weiter einen Verbindungstab 33 auf. Der Verbindungsstab 33 ist am oberen Ende der jeweiligen Vertikalstrebe 4 angeordnet. Der Verbindungsstab 33 trägt aber verglichen mit der Traverse keine wesentlichen Kräfte, sondern dient im Wesentlichen der Stabilisierung der Montagevorrichtung vor dem Einbau.In addition to said traverse 5, the embodiments shown in the figures also have a connecting rod 33. The connecting rod 33 is arranged at the upper end of the respective vertical strut 4. The connecting rod 33 does not bear any significant forces compared to the crossbeam, but essentially serves to stabilize the mounting device before installation.

Die Figuren 5 bis 7 zeigen, wie bereits erwhänt, eine dritte Ausführungsform der Montagevorrichtung 1 gemäss der vorliegenden Erfindung. Gleiche Teile sind mit gleichen Bezugszeichen versehen und es wird diesbezüglich auf die obige Beschreibung verwiesen.The Figures 5 to 7 show, as already mentioned, a third embodiment of the mounting device 1 according to the present invention. The same parts are provided with the same reference numerals and reference is made to the above description in this regard.

Wie in der ersten und in der zweiten Ausführungsform ist auch in der dritten Ausführungsform das Stützelement 6 ein Hohlkörper 10. Bezüglich der Definition des Hohlkörpers wird auf die obige Definition im Zusammenhang mit den Figuren 1 bis 4 verwiesen. Der Hohlkörper gemäss den Figuren 5 bis 7 ist derart ausgebildet, dass zwischen dem Hohlkörper 10 und der Vertikalstrebe 4, zu welcher der Hohlkörper 10 verbunden ist, ein freier Zwischenraum 39 entsteht. Der freie Zwischenraum 39 ist dabei durch den Hohlkörper 10, durch die Traverse 5 und durch die Vertikalstrebe 4 begrenzt.As in the first and in the second embodiment, the support element 6 is also a hollow body 10 in the third embodiment. With regard to the definition of the hollow body, reference is made to the above definition in connection with the Figures 1 to 4 referred. The hollow body according to the Figures 5 to 7 is designed such that a free space 39 is created between the hollow body 10 and the vertical strut 4 to which the hollow body 10 is connected. The free space 39 is limited by the hollow body 10, by the cross member 5 and by the vertical strut 4.

Der freie Zwischenraum 39 ist abgesehen von seiner Form sinngemäss zum freien Zwischenraum 7 ausgebildet. Es wird also ein Durchgang durch die Montagevorrichtung 1 bereitgestellt.Apart from its shape, the free space 39 is formed analogously to the free space 7. A passage through the assembly device 1 is thus provided.

In der gezeigten Ausführungsform ist ein erstes Stützelement 6 in der Gestalt des Hohlkörpers 10 mit der Traverse 5 und einer der beiden Vertikalstreben 4 in Verbindung und ein zweites Stützenelement 7 in der Gestalt des Hohlkörpers 10 ist mit der Traverse 5 und der anderen der beiden Vertikalstreben 4 in Verbindung.In the embodiment shown, a first support element 6 in the shape of the hollow body 10 is connected to the cross member 5 and one of the two vertical struts 4 and a second support element 7 in the shape of the hollow body 10 is connected to the cross member 5 and the other of the two vertical struts 4 in connection.

Der Hohlkörper 10 umfasst eine Vorderwand 11 und eine Rückwand 10 sowie eine erste Verstärkungsrippe 36 und eine zweite Verstärkungsrippe 37. Die beabstandet zueinander liegende Rückwand 10 und Vorderwand 11 stehen über die erste Verstärkungsrippe 36 und die zweite Verstärkungsrippe 37 miteinander in Verbindung. Der Hohlraum 10 wird also durch die Vorderwand 11, die Rückwand 12, die erste Verstärkungsrippe 36 und die zweite Verstärkungsrippe 37 gebildet.The hollow body 10 comprises a front wall 11 and a rear wall 10 as well as a first reinforcement rib 36 and a second reinforcement rib 37. The spaced-apart rear wall 10 and front wall 11 are connected to one another via the first reinforcement rib 36 and the second reinforcement rib 37. The cavity 10 is thus formed by the front wall 11, the rear wall 12, the first reinforcing rib 36 and the second reinforcing rib 37.

Die erste Verstärkungsrippe 36 und die zweite Verstärkungsrippe 37 liegen beabstandet zueinander und verbinden jeweils die Seitenkanten 17, 18, 38 der Vorderwand 11 und der Rückwand 10 miteinander. Die erste Verstärkungsrippe 36 liegt dabei derart, dass diese zum besagten freien Zwischenraum 39 hin orientiert ist. Die zweite Verstärkungsrippe 37 liegt derart, dass diese zum besagten freien Zwischenraum 7 zwischen den beiden Hohlkörpern 10 orientiert ist.The first reinforcing rib 36 and the second reinforcing rib 37 are spaced apart from one another and connect the side edges 17, 18, 38 of the front wall 11 and the rear wall 10 to one another. The first reinforcing rib 36 lies in such a way that it is oriented towards the free space 39. The second reinforcing rib 37 lies in such a way that it is oriented towards said free space 7 between the two hollow bodies 10.

In der gezeigten Ausführungsform umfasst die erste Verstärkungsrippe 36 einen Vertikalabschnitt 40 und einen sich daran anschliessenden Horizontalabschnitt 41. Der Vertikalabschnitt 40 verläuft parallel und beabstandet zur Vertikalstrebe 4. Der Horizontalabschnitt 41 steht hier rechtwinklig zur Vertikalstrebe 4. Mit anderen Worten gesagt orientiert sich der Horizontalabschnitt 41 winklig geneigt, insbesondere rechtwinklig, zur Vertikalstrebe 4. Der Vertikalabschnitt 4 steht hier mit der Traverse 5 und der Horizontalabschnitt 41 steht mit der Vertikalstrebe 4 in Verbindung. Durch die beiden Abschnitte 40, 41 wird eine abgekröpfte Verstärkungsrippe 36 bereitgestellt.In the embodiment shown, the first reinforcing rib 36 comprises a vertical section 40 and an adjoining horizontal section 41. The vertical section 40 runs parallel and spaced apart from the vertical strut 4. The horizontal section 41 is here at right angles to the vertical strut 4. In other words, the horizontal section 41 is oriented inclined at an angle, in particular at right angles, to the vertical strut 4. The vertical section 4 is here connected to the crossmember 5 and the horizontal section 41 is connected to the vertical strut 4. A cranked reinforcing rib 36 is provided by the two sections 40, 41.

Die zweite Verstärkungsrippe 37 ist in analoger Weise zur ersten Verstärkungsrippe 36 ausgebildet. Sie umfasst ebenfalls einen Vertikalabschnitt 40 und einen sich daran anschliessenden Horizontalabschnitt 41. Die beiden Abschnitte 40, 41 der zweiten Verstärkungsrippe 37 verlaufen gleichermassen wie die entsprechenden Abschnitte der Verstärkungsrippe 36 und sind auch gleich mit der Traverse 5 und der Vertikalstrebe 4 verbunden. Bezüglich des Abstandes zur Vertikalstrebe 4 wird von der Figur 5 klar, dass die erste Verstärkungsrippe 37 quer zur Vertikalstrebe 4 gesehen näher zur Vertikalstrebe 4 verläuft als der Vertikalabschnitt der zweiten Verstärkungsrippe. Gleiches kann bezüglich der Horizontalabschnitte und der Distanz zur Traverse 5 gesagt werden.The second reinforcing rib 37 is analogous to the first reinforcing rib 36 educated. It also includes a vertical section 40 and an adjoining horizontal section 41. The two sections 40, 41 of the second reinforcing rib 37 run in the same way as the corresponding sections of the reinforcing rib 36 and are also connected directly to the cross member 5 and the vertical strut 4. Regarding the distance to the vertical strut 4, the Figure 5 it is clear that the first reinforcing rib 37, viewed transversely to the vertical strut 4, runs closer to the vertical strut 4 than the vertical section of the second reinforcing rib. The same can be said with regard to the horizontal sections and the distance to the cross member 5.

Mit anderen Worten: Beide Verstärkungsrippen 36, 37 haben die Form eines Winkels, wobei der längere Schenkel 40 vorzugsweise parallel zur Vertikalstrebe 4 und der kürzere Schenkel 41 vorzugsweise parallel zur Traverse 5 ist.In other words, both reinforcing ribs 36, 37 have the shape of an angle, the longer leg 40 preferably being parallel to the vertical strut 4 and the shorter leg 41 preferably being parallel to the cross member 5.

Das Stützelement 6 bzw. der Hohlkörper 10 gemäss der dritten Ausführungsform ist vorzugsweise einstückig ausgebildet und kann durch eine Biege- und Schweissverfahren hergestellt werden.The support element 6 or the hollow body 10 according to the third embodiment is preferably formed in one piece and can be produced by a bending and welding process.

Von den Figuren 6 und 7 kann gut erkannt werden, dass sich Teile des Hohlkörpers 10 durch eine Ausnehmung 42 durch die Traverse 5 hindurch erstrecken. Im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel werden Teile der ersten Verstärkungsrippe 36 und der zweiten Verstärkungsrippen 37 durch die Ausnehmung 42 durch die Traverse 5 hindurchgeführt. Diese Teile haben hier die Gestalt von Laschen tragen das Bezugszeichen 45.Of the Figures 6 and 7 it can be clearly seen that parts of the hollow body 10 extend through a cross-section 5 through a recess 42. In the present exemplary embodiment, parts of the first reinforcing rib 36 and the second reinforcing ribs 37 are passed through the recess 42 through the cross member 5. These parts here have the shape of tabs and have the reference symbol 45.

Die Traverse 5 weist einen sich von der Traverse 5 gegenüber des Hohlkörpers 10 weg erstreckenden Verstärkungsabschnitt 43 auf. Der Verstärkungsabschnitt 43 ist hier in Ausdehnungsrichtung der Traverse 5 gesehen als winkliger Abbug bereitgestellt. Die besagten Teile des Hohlkörpers 10, die sich durch die Traverse 5 hindurch erstrecken, bzw. die Laschen 45 werden dabei mit dem Verstärkungsabschnitt 43 verbunden. Der Verstärkungsabschnitt 43 liegt in der gezeigten Ausführungsform oberhalb der Befestigungsteile 23. Somit sorgen die besagten Teile des Hohlkörpers 10, die sich durch die Traverse 5 hindurch erstrecken, für eine Abstützung des Verstärkungsabschnittes 43 und der Befestigungsteile 23.The cross member 5 has a reinforcing section 43 which extends away from the cross member 5 with respect to the hollow body 10. The reinforcement section 43 is provided here in the direction of expansion of the cross member 5 as an angled bend. Said parts of the hollow body 10, which extend through the cross member 5, or the tabs 45 are connected to the reinforcing section 43. In the embodiment shown, the reinforcement section 43 lies above the fastening parts 23. The parts of the hollow body 10 that extend through the cross member 5 thus provide support for the reinforcement section 43 and the fastening parts 23.

Vorzugsweise stehen die besagten Laschen 45 beabstandet zueinander.Said tabs 45 are preferably spaced apart from one another.

Die Verwendung der beiden Verstärkungsrippen 36, 37 als Stützelemente für den Verstärkungsabschnitt 43 hat den Vorteil, dass die mechanische Stabilität im Bereich der Befestigungsteile 23 erhöht wird. Zugleich bilden aber die Verstärkungsrippen kein Hindernis für das Element, welches mit dem Befestigungsteil 23 in Verbindung steht.The use of the two reinforcing ribs 36, 37 as support elements for the reinforcing section 43 has the advantage that the mechanical stability in the area of the fastening parts 23 is increased. At the same time, however, the reinforcing ribs do not form an obstacle for the element which is connected to the fastening part 23.

In der Figur 7 wird das links angeordnete Stützelement 6, in der Gestalt der Hohlkörpers 10, vor seiner Montage am Rahmen 3 gezeigt. Hier kann gut erkannt werden, dass sich die beiden Verstärkungsrippen 36 und 37 nach oben hin zur Traverse 5 über die obere Seitenkante 44 des Hohlkörpers 10 erstrecken. Die obere Seitenkante 44 werden mit der Unterseite der Traverse 5 verbunden und die besagten Teile erstrecken sich dann über die Traverse bis hin zum besagten Verstärkungsabschnitt 43, wo die besagten Teile dann ebenfalls mit dem Verstärkungsabschnitt verbunden werden.
