Definitions

  • the present invention relates particularly, but not exclusively, to a mounting arrangement for use in attaching a urinal to a mounting surface, for example a wall.
  • the mounting arrangement provides easy access to the rear and internal volume of the urinal.
  • the invention may be used in situations where it is necessary to access the rear of the urinal, for example to perform routine maintenance and alleviate blockages.
  • the invention allows the rear of the urinal to be accessed without the urinal being required to be completely removed from the wall. Thus the urinal can be easily and efficiently maintained, whilst maintaining connection of water supply.
  • the invention further relates to an installation template and a seal for the urinal.
  • the process of removing the urinal from the wall can lead to injury of the person doing the lifting or damage of the urinal unit itself. Due to the weight of the urinal, it is necessary to have specifically trained personnel to remove it from the wall. Additionally, there are hygiene concerns associated with the lifting of the urinal and the placing of the urinal on the floor whilst the maintenance is carried out. Furthermore, if the urinal is left on the floor, damage of the urinal is likely to occur.
  • the inventors have devised an alternative mounting arrangement for connection of the urinal to the wall.
  • This mounting arrangement is in the form of a bracket which allows easy access to the rear of the urinal for maintenance and cleaning. Furthermore, the urinal is not required to be lifted fully from the wall therefore the maintenance and cleaning can be carried out without the need for someone capable of carrying the unit. Therefore, the maintenance of the urinal can be simply carried out by a single operator or the like.
  • the mounting arrangement of the present invention involves the urinal remaining attached to the wall while maintenance is being carried out.
  • the coupling to the wall prevents the urinal falling to floor during removal, preventing damage to the ceramic of the urinal or injury to user. Furthermore, the amount and time for which the person carrying out the maintenance has to touch the front of the urinal is reduced.
  • the system of the present invention provides a way in which to make maintenance of the urinal more hygienic as well as more efficient.
  • the inventors have developed a novel seal which prevents a gap being formed between the urinal and the wall.
  • the seal prevents small objects reaching the rear of the urinal which may damage the piping.
  • the seal is attached to an installation template on which markings are provided in order to prevent incorrect installation of the urinal. Additionally, it is no longer necessary for mastic sealants to be used to close the void between ceramic and wall. The use of the seal of the present invention protects damage of the wall or the ceramic of the urinal.
  • the invention is also suitable for use in other applications where it is desirable to connect a sanitary-ware unit to a mounting surface, for example a wall and provide easy access to the back of the unit.
  • SE 531 132 C2 discloses a height-adjustable sanitary device, eg washbasin that can be angled downwards.
  • EP 0 798 423A2 discloses a prefabricated element for the operating connection of a service block to a general service liquid or fluid supply and discharge system.
  • JPH068478 U discloses a further sanitary-ware mounting arrangement according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a sanitary-ware mounting arrangement according to claim 1.
  • the word 'channel' is used to mean an elongate hole in which the first portion of the coupling is able to move.
  • the channel may also be referred to as a 'slot'.
  • the word 'engage' is used to mean contact with in such a way that movement of the sanitary-ware product causes movement of the coupling.
  • An arrangement is thereby provided that allows the rear of a sanitary-ware product which is attached to a mounting surface to be accessed by rotation of the sanitary-ware product following movement of the sanitary-ware product away from the mounting surface without the complete removal of the sanitary-ware product from the mounting surface.
  • the sanitary-ware product for example a urinal, can be moved and rotated without engaging or contacting the wall during the rotation. This prevents any possible damage to the product.
  • the movement guide comprises a housing and a recess configured to receive and contain the second portion of the coupling.
  • the word 'housing' is used to refer to an area in which the second portion of the coupling is located.
  • the word 'recess' is used to mean a depressed/recessed region which is sized such that it can receive and contain the second portion of the coupling.
  • the channel may be formed in an upwardly facing surface of the housing and the second portion of the coupling may be located in use within the housing.
  • the movement of the second portion of the coupling can be controlled within the housing by the movement of the first portion of the coupling.
  • the second portion of the coupling may have a larger cross sectional width than the width of the channel such that in use the second portion of the coupling is prevented from passing through the channel and out of the movement guide.
  • the cooperation of the second portion and the channel is such that the second portion can move within the channel but cannot move outside of the channel; it is only permitted to move along the direction of the channel and into the channel.
  • the movement of the coupling with respect to the housing can be limited because once the second portion of the coupling reaches the inside surface of the upwardly facing portion of the housing, it cannot move any further in an upwards direction because the second portion of the coupling is sized so that it does not fit through the channel.
  • the first portion of the coupling may be adapted for engagement in use with a part of the sanitary-ware product.
  • the coupling may comprise an elongate element wherein the elongate element extends in use through a through hole in the part of the sanitary-ware product.
  • the first portion of the coupling may be configured to engage in use with the sanitary-ware product through a connector or securing means.
  • the connector may be attached to the first portion of the coupling at an end distal from the second portion of the coupling wherein the connector may be configured to prevent movement of the end of the first portion of the coupling through the through hole of the sanitary-ware product. Furthermore, the interaction between the coupling and the sanitary-ware product controls the range of tilt of the sanitary-ware product.
  • the connector ensures that the coupling remains in engagement with the sanitary-ware product.
  • the first portion may be configured to engage in use with the sanitary-ware product by the abutment of the connector and the part of the sanitary-ware product.
  • the coupling may comprise a stepped shaft, wherein the second portion of the coupling has a larger diameter than the first portion of the coupling.
  • the smaller diameter portion is moveable in an upwards and downwards direction and the larger diameter portion can be prevented from leaving the housing.
  • the wording 'stepped shaft' is used to mean an elongate element with a varying diameter. In one arrangement, this could be in the form of a bolt wherein the head and shaft of the bolt have different diameters to each other.
  • the securing means may be a clip pin.
  • the clip pin is positioned in a through hole which passes through the cross section of the first portion of the coupling.
  • the second portion of the coupling may have a circular cross section.
  • the second portion is able to easily rotate within the housing.
  • the second portion of the coupling may have a polygonal cross section.
  • the abutment of the second portion of the coupling with a wall of the housing may limit translation of the sanitary-ware product away from the mounting surface.
  • the user when using the arrangement, the user is able to ascertain when the coupling and therefore the sanitary-ware product is in the correct place for rotation of the sanitary-ware product. Furthermore, with the arrangement, it is possible to control the range of vertical tilting of the sanitary-ware product.
  • the abutment of the second portion of the coupling with an end of the channel may limit translation of the sanitary-ware product away from or closer to the mounting surface.
  • the user is able to ascertain when the sanitary-ware product has been moved away from/towards the mounting surface to the correct extend for rotation/reconnection of the sanitary-ware product with the mounting surface.
  • the coupling may be configured to rotate to an angle of at least 30 degrees with respect to the movement guide.
  • the coupling may be configured to rotate to an angle of at least 45 degrees with respect to the movement guide.
  • the user is able to easily access the rear non user facing surface of the sanitary-ware product for cleaning and maintenance.
  • the sanitary-ware product may be arranged in use to be coupled to the mounting surface wherein the mounting surface is a wall.
  • the sanitary-ware mounting arrangement may additionally comprise an installation template wherein the installation template is located in use between the mounting surface and the sanitary-ware product and wherein the installation template indicates a location for attaching the movement guide.
  • the sanitary-ware mounting arrangement may additionally comprise a seal, wherein the seal is shaped to be received in use in a recess of the sanitary-ware product.
  • the word 'recess' in this context is used to mean a depressed channel in the sanitary-ware product which is sized for holding the recess.
  • the use of the seal of the present invention prevents the need for a single use mastic sealant. Furthermore, the seal protects both the sanitary-ware product and the mounting surface due to its position between the two.
  • the seal may be a polymeric compression seal.
  • the seal may be attached in use to the installation template.
  • the seal will be correctly positioned in the recess of the sanitary-ware product. Furthermore, the seal prevents contact of the sanitary-ware product with the mounting surface which therefore prevents damage of either the mounting surface or the sanitary-ware product.
  • the sanitary-ware product may be a urinal.
  • system of the present invention provides a more hygienic way of accessing the rear of the urinal.
  • a method of accessing a rear surface of a sanitary-ware product mounted on a mounting surface comprising lifting the sanitary-ware product off at least one connector and moving the sanitary-ware product away from the mounting surface while remaining attached to the mounting surface.
  • the word 'rear' is used to mean a non-user facing surface.
  • the surface of the sanitary-ware product which, in use, is connected to the mounting surface.
  • the method may further comprise disengaging the sanitary-ware product from the mounting surface before lifting the sanitary-ware product, wherein the disengaging comprises disengaging may comprise removing a grate valve and adaptor and removing an anti theft bolt.
  • the urinal is not able to be removed from the mounting surface without disengaging the sanitary-ware product and without prior knowledge of the method of disengagement.
  • a urinal system comprising a urinal and an installation template, wherein the urinal is connected by a pivot to the installation template.
  • the installation template provides guidance to the user of where parts of the urinal system should be installed. Therefore, this prevents incorrect installation of the urinal.
  • the pivot may be asymmetrically connected to the installation template. In this way, the pivot can be used to rotate the urinal away from the wall in order to access the rear of the urinal.
  • the present teaching relates generally to an arrangement for attaching a sanitary-ware product to a wall and a method of use of the arrangement for accessing the back of the sanitary-ware product without removing it from the wall.
  • the sanitary-ware product is a urinal system 5.
  • the sanitary-ware product may be a WC or basin.
  • Figure 1 shows an installation template 1 for a urinal 5.
  • the installation template 1 is for attaching to a wall to provide guidance to the installer of where to position the parts of the urinal 5.
  • a transparent or translucent template is used which can be made of a self-supporting plastic.
  • the template may include markings to provide an indication of where parts of the urinal 5 should be installed. Thus it is possible to ensure that the urinal 5 is correctly installed. When the urinal 5 is moved away from the wall, the installation template 1 is revealed.
  • the installation template 1 of figure 1 lines are included on the template which indicate where particular parts for connection of the urinal 5 to the wall are required to be attached.
  • a top bracket receiving section 2 for receiving the top bracket 11, discussed further later.
  • two movement guide receiving sections 3. are for receiving a movement guide 15, discussed further later. The user is able to choose on installation which of the two movement guide receiving sections 3 is to be used. This decision is based on which direction it is desired for the urinal 5 to be rotated from the wall. Again, this will be discussed in further detail later.
  • the installation template 1 may have only one movement guide receiving section 3.
  • the installation template 1 additionally comprises a seal 4.
  • the seal 4 has a U-shape and surrounds most of the external perimeter of the installation template 1.
  • the seal 4 is made of a polymer for example rubber or polymer for surface conformity.
  • the seal 4 has a thickness of 6mm.
  • the seal 4 may have a greater or lesser thickness than this.
  • the seal 4 is fixed directly to the installation template 1. In other examples, the seal 4 may be fixed directly to the wall or to the urinal 5.
  • FIG 2A shows the installation template 1 of figure 1 with parts of the urinal system 5 installed thereon.
  • a top bracket 11 is positioned on the installation template 1 and secured in place by, for example, bolts. Other connection means could also be used.
  • the top bracket 11 comprises two connectors, for example hooks 12, which extend away from the top bracket 11 and which are configured to support a urinal 5.
  • the hooks 12 extend from the top bracket 11 at an angle of approximately 30 to 50 degrees to the wall.
  • the hooks 12 may extend at an angle of approximately 45 degrees to the wall.
  • An inlet pipe 13 is shown. This is used to carry water to the urinal 5 for flushing.

  • the coupling 17 is configured to move in the slot 16 when the urinal 5 is moved away from the wall.
  • the coupling 17 has a hole extending through it.
  • a clip pin 20 is located in the hole. This can be seen in figure 2A . The purpose of the clip pin 20 will be discussed further later.
  • the coupling 17 is shown positioned in the slot 16 in the position it would be in when the urinal 5 is in use and connected to the wall.
  • a waste pipe 14 is fixed to the housing 21 by means of a first bracket 31.
  • the waste pipe 14 comprises a first portion 19 which extends parallel to the installation template 1 when installed and a second portion 18 which extends orthogonal to the installation template 1.
  • An end of the bracket 31 is connected to the housing 21 whilst the other end of the bracket 31 surrounds the first portion 18 of the waste pipe 14. In this way, the waste pipe 14 is prevented from moving away from the housing 21.
  • the first bracket 31 supports and holds the waste pipe in position under the urinal, ready for attachment to the urinal.
  • the first bracket 31 additionally allows positional adjustment of the waste pipe 14 in a horizontal direction to ensure alignment of the waste pipe 14 with the outlet hole in the urinal. As shown in figure 2B and 2C , the first bracket 31 is inserted into the housing 21 and the distance to which it is inserted into the housing enables control of the positioning of the waste pipe 14 in the left to right direction. Furthermore, the waste pipe 14 can slide in the first bracket 31 from or closer to the wall.
  • the first bracket 31 may also support the weight of the waste pipe 14. Thus load stresses on the urinal outlet by the waste pipe 14 are reduced and a water tight seal is ensured throughout the waste pipe.
  • Figure 3 shows a back view of a urinal 5 for installation on the installation template 1 of figures 1 and 2 .
  • the urinal 5 comprises hangers 9 for receiving the hooks 12 of the top bracket 11 shown in figure 2 .

  • the user In order to reassemble the urinal 5 for use, it is necessary for the user to reverse the steps taken for removing the urinal 5 from the wall to access the rear. For example, first the user must rotate the urinal back towards the wall. Then, the user must lift the urinal 5 up and move it closer to the wall so that the coupling 17 is positioned on the raised portion 30 on the guide 26. The hooks 12 are then positioned to be received by the hangers 9. The urinal 5 is then moved further towards the wall until the urinal 5 contacts with the seal 4 and dropped down so that the hooks 12 are received by the hangers 9 and the urinal 5 is supported by the hooks 12. The anti theft bolt 21 and grate valve 23 and adaptor 24 are then reattached.
