Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an installation element for fastening a toilet bowl to a wall.
  • toilet bowls and cisterns for receiving a flushing liquid for the toilet bowl can be securely attached to the wall.
  • Known installation elements have a frame on which the toilet bowl and the cistern can be fastened with a large number of fastening means such as threaded rods, screws and / or nuts. The installation effort of such installation elements is therefore comparatively high.
  • a variety of different tools are required to assemble the installation elements.
  • the frame consists in particular of welded tubular steel profiles. The installation elements therefore regularly have a high weight, which further complicates the installation of the installation elements on the wall.
  • installation elements with a multi-part frame are known, which can partially consist of plastic.
  • the known installation elements with multi-part frames have an even higher installation effort and, moreover, often cannot meet the high stability requirements, particularly with regard to their bending stiffness.
  • the document DE202006 011801U discloses an installation element having the features of the preamble of independent claim 1.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to at least partially solve the problems described with reference to the prior art and, in particular, to provide an installation element for fastening a toilet bowl to a wall, which has a high stability, a low weight and a low installation effort.
  • the installation element according to the invention for fastening a toilet bowl to a wall has a cistern for receiving a flushing liquid for the toilet bowl and a frame with which the toilet bowl and the cistern can be fastened to the wall, the frame having a frame lower part and a frame upper part, the
  • the upper frame part comprises a first frame profile which is positively connected to the cistern and a second frame profile which is positively connected to the cistern, and wherein the first frame profile in the direction of a first longitudinal axis of the first frame profile and the second frame profile in the direction of a second longitudinal axis of the second frame profile at least partially a changing cross section having.
  • the installation element is used to attach a toilet bowl and a cistern to hold a flushing liquid for the toilet bowl on a wall.
  • Such installation elements can be used to attach toilet bowls, in particular to lightweight walls, which are not suitable for direct attachment of the toilet bowl.
  • the cistern is in particular at least partially made of plastic and / or is produced by means of a plastic injection molding process. Furthermore, the cistern has a receiving space for the rinsing liquid, the rinsing liquid in particular being water.
  • a valve of the cistern can be actuated with an actuating device, for example a flush button arranged on the wall.
  • the flushing liquid flows into the toilet bowl via a Flushing liquid outlet of the cistern, which is regularly arranged at the bottom of the receiving space.
  • the toilet bowl and the cistern can be fastened to a frame of the installation element, the frame comprising a lower frame part and an upper frame part.
  • the lower frame part can have feet with which the frame can be fastened to a floor, for example by means of screw connections.
  • the upper frame part can have wall connections at one end opposite the feet, by means of which the frame can be fastened to the wall, for example with screw connections.
  • the upper frame part comprises a first frame profile which is positively connected to the cistern and a second frame profile which is positively connected to the cistern.
  • Form-fit connection means in particular that the cistern, the first frame profile and the second frame profile (together) are formed in one piece.
  • the first frame profile and the second frame profile can be injection molded onto the cistern, in particular during the manufacturing process of the cistern.
  • the first frame professional, the second frame profile and the cistern can be produced together with the plastic injection molding process.
  • the first frame profile and the second frame profile have, in particular, a (completely) straight course and / or orthogonal to their first longitudinal axis or second longitudinal axis, a rectangular cross section. Furthermore, the first frame profile and the second frame profile are in particular mirror-symmetrical to one another.
  • first frame profile in the direction of the first longitudinal axis of the first frame profile and the second frame profile in the direction of the second longitudinal axis of the second frame profile at least partially has a changing cross section.
  • a cross-section is understood to mean, in particular, an (imaginary) cut surface through the first frame profile and / or second frame profile, which is in particular orthogonal to the first longitudinal direction and / or second longitudinal direction. If the cut surface is shifted in the direction of the first longitudinal axis and / or the second longitudinal axis, the respective cross section changes in at least one direction, in particular in a depth direction and / or a width direction of the installation element.
  • the depth direction is in particular orthogonal to the first longitudinal direction, second longitudinal direction and the width direction of the installation element.
  • the depth direction of the installation element after the installation of the installation element on a wall in particular horizontal and / or perpendicular to the wall and the width direction in particular parallel to the wall.
  • the first frame profile and / or the second frame profile are thus variable in cross section, in particular in one or two directions.
  • the cross section can also be essentially (always) rectangular.
  • the cross section of the first frame profile and / or the second frame profile changes in the direction of the first longitudinal axis or in the direction of the second longitudinal axis, in particular over a distance of 100 mm (millimeters) to 800 mm.
  • this section of the changing cross section is located in particular in a region of the first frame profile and / or second frame profile that has a straight course.
  • the distance of the changing cross-section is therefore in particular not in curved or curved regions of the first frame profile and second frame profile and in particular not at corners of the upper frame part. Due to the changing cross sections of the first frame profile and the second frame profile, the first frame profile and the second frame profile can be specifically adjusted to the bending stresses to be expected and the weight of the frame can thus be optimized.
  • the first frame profile and the second frame profile can thus be made particularly rigid in relation to their mass. Furthermore, the first frame profile and the second frame profile can be designed in the sense of "beams with the same bending stress".
  • the cross section of the first frame profile tapers in the direction of a first wall connection and the cross section of the second frame profile tapers in the direction of a second wall connection.
  • the tapering takes place in at least one direction, for example in the depth direction and / or the width direction of the installation element.
  • the taper in the width direction of the installation element allows in particular a favorable shape for the plastic injection molding.
  • the first wall connection and the second wall connection can each be, in particular, bores in the first frame profile and the second frame profile, in particular on a longitudinal end of the first frame profile and second frame profile, to which wall connection elements can be fastened for fastening the frame to the wall
  • the cross section of the first frame profile and / or the second frame profile can be in at least one dimension (in particular orthogonal to the first longitudinal axis and / or second longitudinal axis) from a length of approximately 50 mm to 100 mm to a length of approximately 20 mm taper to 50 mm.

  • screw connections, snap connections and / or other tensionable connections can also be used.
  • first plug connection and / or the second plug connection can also be designed as a telescopic connection be so that a height adjustment of the upper frame part or an upper frame edge is made possible.
  • first plug-in connection and the second plug-in connection are in particular designed in such a way that the frame can be assembled both in the manufacturer's factory and on a construction site. As a result, the frame can be delivered both assembled and divided.
