  • the invention also includes a bushing preventing the longitudinal element from contacting the sanitary appliance.
  • Known solutions are focused on ensuring cooperation between the fastened ceramic element, for example a toilet seat, and elements on which this ceramic element is suspended.
  • Such elements include, for example, the toiled cubicle wall or a frame installed on such a wall, including protruding, threaded pins used to install the supporting elements of the toilet seat.
  • the known solutions intend to solve the problem of cooperation of said pins with openings provided in the toilet seat.
  • the task of the invention is to ensure easy installation, as well as precise and permanent connection between the ceramic element in the form of a toilet seat with pins fastening this element onto a wall or onto a frame fixed on said wall.
  • the fastening unit of the sanitary appliance includes a body with a bushing with an external thread and an external nut installed on said bushing of the sanitary appliance.
  • Two meshing gear wheels forming a bevelled gear are rotating in sockets inside the body.
  • the rotation axis of the driven gear wheel coincides with the axis of symmetry of the pin fastening the sanitary appliance, with which the driven gear wheel cooperates.
  • the axis of rotation of the driving gear wheel is transverse to the axis of rotation of the driven gear wheel.
  • the body of the fastening unit for sanitary appliances includes a wall, under which the socket of the driving gear wheel is located with an axial opening intended for the drive key.
  • the fastening unit is characterised in that the axial opening of the driven gear wheel includes an internal thread meshing with the external thread of the pin fastening the sanitary appliance.
  • the fastening unit body wall includes a guide bushing of the drive key, wherein a drive key seal is located inside said guide bushing.
  • the drive key is preferably a hexagonal Allen key with a circumferential groove near its working end.
  • the design of the fastening unit for sanitary appliances according to the invention enables precise, permanent installation of a sanitary appliance thanks to the use of a bevelled gear with a driven gear wheel with an internal thread, meshed with the driving gear wheel.
  • the solution according to the invention provides much shorter installation times thanks to the compact design of the fastening unit and eliminates the nut, which may result in the sanitary bowl detaching during use in the case of incorrect fastening or shifting during installation.
  • the solution according to the invention provides a threaded joint with a bevelled gear.
  • a solution fastening the dedicated Allen key during periods of standstill is also proposed, preventing the key from being lost.
  • the key is provided with a circumferential groove near its working end, matching the seal in the opening provided for the key.
  • Fig. 1 presents an embodiment of the fastening unit for sanitary appliances, as seen from the side of the driven gear wheel 7.
  • the unit includes a body 1 with a bushing 3.
  • the bushing 3 is provided with an external thread 4, not shown in the figure, but shown in Fig. 7 .
  • the bushing 3 cooperates with the nut 5 presented in Fig. 8 .
  • the nut 5 is intended to fasten the bushing 3 in the opening provided in the housing of the sanitary appliance.
