In the example in figures l5a and l5b, the connecting means comprise ribs formed on the upper plate 40, and corresponding grooves formed on the frame 20 or on the upper part 35 of the equipment support 31, ribs and grooves being configured to implement a coupling between the parts by sliding them with respect to each other.
Of course, other forms of connecting means may be provided with respect to those described above.
According to a particularly preferred embodiment, the equipment support 31 and the frame 20 (in the form in figure 2) are configured for push-push or push-pull coupling of the equip ment support 31 on the frame 20. In this case, the connectors 26a and 26b of the frame 20 must be configured to automatically connect to the hydraulic and electrical connectors 36a and 36b upon mounting of the equipment support 31 on the frame 20.
For the purposes of the present description, by push-push it is meant a type of assembly in which a pressure is applied to the equipment support 31 against the frame 20, both for en gaging the equipment support 31 to the frame 20 and for achieving the subsequent release of the equipment support from the frame. By push-pull it is meant a type of assembly in which a pressure is applied to the equipment support 31 against the frame 20, in order to couple the equipment support 31 to the frame 20, and the equipment support 31 is pulled to achieve the release from the frame.
With reference to figure 16, another embodiment is shown which differs from the previous ones in that the seat 50 is mounted on the toilet body 13 independently of the assembly. In this case, the upper plate 40 has a simple closing function.
The elements described above in relation to one embodiment may be combined, where pos sible, with elements described in relation to other embodiments.
