Definitions

• the invention relates to an apparatus, which enables a part intended to be fixed in an opening located on a product to be fixed without having to access the bottom surface of said product, and to a method for fixing.
• the products generally consist of more than one component and the assembly of said components is realized before a product is used.
• different mounting members are used depending on the area of use for the product, the material type of the product and the types of the components of the product.
• connection members such as screw, bolt and nut are frequently employed in assembling the components.
• the material of the product to be assembled is a material on which a screw may be fixed, it may be preferable to use a screw since it does not require a counter member to be able to perform its function.
• the facts that the screw causes a deformation on the surface where it is fixed and that it is generally not possible to remove and attach the screw for more than one time constitute an undesired situation.
• the connection by means of a bolt and a nut is another preferred connection method.
• a bolt passing through a hole formed on the ceramic sanitary ware and a nut are used in mounting the part intended to be fixed. Due to the nature of the manufacturing process for the ceramic sanitary ware, the sizes of said holes have high tolerance and the coarse burrs may be present in the holes. In addition, it is not possible to access the bottom surfaces of the ceramic sanitary ware which are fitted flush with the wall. For these reasons, it is not always possible to fix a part on a ceramic sanitary ware by means of a bolt and a nut.
• the part intended to be fixed on a product may be fixed in a manner independent from the type and material of the product, without causing any deformation in the product and without requiring access to a second surface of the product, and the mounting and demounting procedures may be performed as many times as desired based on the preferences.
• An object of the invention is to develop an apparatus and a method for fixing, wherein the part intended to be fixed may be fixed on any product in a manner independent from the type and material of the product where the assembly is to take place, without requiring access to a second surface of the product where the assembly is to take place.
• Another object of the invention is to develop an apparatus and a method for fixing, wherein the part intended to be fixed does not cause any deformation in the product where the assembly is to take place, and as a result, it is possible to perform the mounting and demounting procedures as many times as desired at the same location using the same fixing apparatus.

• the invention relates to a fixing apparatus, which enables a part intended to be fixed in an opening located on a product to be fixed without having to access the bottom surface of said product, and to a fixing method. More particularly, the invention relates to a fixing apparatus and a fixing method, wherein the part to be fixed (4) may be fixed in the hole for the part to be fixed (53) that is located on the product where the assembly is to take place (5), only from the top surface of the product where the assembly is to take place (51) and simply by way of rotation of a connection member (3), without having to access the bottom surface of the product where the assembly is to take place (52) and/or the channel surface (54) and without causing any deformation in the product where the assembly is to take place (5).
• the fixing apparatus is characterized by comprising in its most basic form a fixing apparatus body (1) having at least two flaps, at least one cylindrical member (2), which is positioned into the fixing apparatus body (1) and about which the fixing apparatus body (1) is able to freely rotate, and at least one connection member (3), which penetrates into the cylindrical member (2) and enables the fixing apparatus body (1) and the cylindrical member (2) to be fixed on the product where the assembly is to take place (5).
• Said fixing apparatus body (1) comprises at least two flaps, at least one of which will abut against the part to be fixed (4) and at least one other of which will abut against the product where the assembly is to take place (5), during the mounting.
• the flap abutting against the part to be fixed (4) is the first flap (11)
• the flap abutting against the product where the assembly is to take place (5) is the second flap (12).
• the fixing apparatus body (1) comprises at least one middle flap (13) in addition to a first flap (11) and/or a second flap (12). During the mounting, said middle flap (13) abuts against the surface of the part to be fixed (4).
• the fixing apparatus body (1) comprises at least one cylindrical member bearing (14), into which the cylindrical member (2) may penetrate.
• the cylindrical member (2) is able to freely move within the cylindrical member bearing (14). More specifically, the fixing apparatus body
• the fixing apparatus body (1) is positioned on the part to be fixed (4) via at least one connection member (3).
• Said connection member (3) passes through the connection member hole (41) located on the part to be fixed (4) and thus reaches the cylindrical member (2) present within the cylindrical member bearing (14) of the fixing apparatus body (1) and is then fixed in the connection member slot (21).
• the connection member (3) and the connection member slot (21) have a toothed structure.
• the fixing apparatus body (1) moves in a direction of approaching the part to be fixed (4)
• the fixing apparatus body (1) begins to rotate about the cylindrical member (2) as a result of the connection member (3) being rotated.
• the fixing apparatus body (1) comprises the connection member opening (15), which allows the connection member (3) to reach the cylindrical member (2) and the fixing apparatus body (1) to rotate about the cylindrical member (2); more specifically, the fixing apparatus body (1) comprises the connection member opening (15), within which the connection member (3) is able to move while the fixing apparatus body (1) is performing the rotational movement about the cylindrical member (2).
• the middle flap (13) has a divided structure.
• Said connection member opening (15) divides the middle flap (13) into two; in other words, said connection member opening (15) is located between the middle flaps (13).
• the second flap (12) and/or the middle flap (13) abuts at a certain point against the product where the assembly is to take place (5).
• the fixing apparatus body (1) is unable to move. More specifically, at least one of the flaps of the fixing apparatus body (1), i.e. the second flap (12) and/or the middle flap (13), abuts against the product where the assembly is to take place (5), while at least one first flap
• the part to be fixed (4) which has been placed into the hole for the part to be fixed (53) from the top surface of the product where the assembly is to take place (51), is enabled to be fixed in the product where the assembly is to take place (5).
• the fixing method according to the invention comprises the process steps of
• connection member (3) • passing the connection member (3) through the connection member hole (41) located on the part to be fixed (4),
• the cylindrical member (2) is positioned into the cylindrical member bearing (14) located on the fixing apparatus body (1) at any step prior to the process step of "positioning the fixing apparatus body (1) on the part to be fixed (4) in such a way that the connection member (3) penetrates into the connection member slot (21) located on the cylindrical member (2)".
