Das Befestigungselement weist weiterhin mindestens ein erstes Anschlagselement und mindestens ein zweites Anschlagselement auf. Das mindestens eine erste Anschlagselement steht über eine erste Biegeverbindung mit dem Supportabschnitt derart in Verbindung, dass das mindestens eine erste Anschlagselement relativ zum Supportabschnitt biegbar ist, so dass es in einer Anschlagslage winklig geneigt, insbesondere rechtwinklig, zur Supportfläche liegt und so dass es in einer Neutrallage nicht über die Supportfläche hervorsteht. Vorzugsweise steht das mindestens eine zweite Anschlagselement über eine Biegeverbindung mit dem Supportabschnitt derart in Verbindung, dass das mindestens eine zweite Anschlagselement relativ zum Supportabschnitt biegbar ist, so dass es in einer Anschlagslage winklig geneigt, insbesondere rechtwinklig, zur Supportfläche liegt und so dass es in einer Neutrallage nicht über die Supportfläche hervorsteht.The fastening element is used to attach the sanitary ware to the mounting structure. The fastening element comprises a support section with a support surface with which the fastening element rests on the mounting structure, a fastening structure arranged on the support section for fastening the sanitary article and at least one, preferably several, through openings arranged on the support section for the passage of at least one screw. The fastening element further has at least a first stop element and at least one second stop element. The at least one first stop element is connected to the support section via a first bending connection in such a way that the at least one first stop element is bendable relative to the support section, so that in a stop position it is angularly inclined, in particular at right angles, to the support surface and so that it is in a Neutral position does not protrude beyond the support surface. Preferably, the at least one second stop element is connected to the support section via a bending connection in such a way that the at least one second stop element is bendable relative to the support section, so that in a stop position it is angularly inclined, in particular at right angles, to the support surface and so that it is in a Neutral position does not protrude beyond the support surface.

Das Befestigungselement ist mit einem der besagten Anschlagselemente zu einer Frontfläche der Montagestrebe ausrichtbar. Das Befestigungselement liegt mit der Supportfläche auf einer Seitenfläche der Montagestrebe auf. Weiter ist das Befestigungselement über mindestens eine Schraube fest mit der Montagestrebe verbunden und der Sanitärartikel steht mit der Befestigungsstruktur des Befestigungselements in fester Verbindung.The fastening element can be aligned with one of said stop elements to a front surface of the mounting strut. The fastening element rests with the support surface on a side surface of the mounting strut. Furthermore, the fastening element is firmly connected to the mounting strut via at least one screw and the sanitary article is firmly connected to the fastening structure of the fastening element.

Die Anordnung vom ersten Anschlagselement und vom zweiten Anschlagselement, welche wahlweise eingesetzt werden können, hat den Vorteil, dass das Befestigungselement flexibel einsetzbar ist. Insbesondere kann der Installateur ja nach Einbausituation wählen, ob das erste oder das zweite Anschlagselement einzusetzen ist. Darüber hinaus kann bei durch die Wahl, ob das erste oder das zweite Anschlagselement eingesetzt werden soll, das Befestigungselement an eine vorgegebene Montagstruktur angepasst werden.The arrangement of the first stop element and the second stop element, which can be used selectively, has the advantage that the fastening element can be used flexibly. In particular, the installer can choose, depending on the installation situation, whether the first or the second stop element is to be used. In addition, by choosing whether the first or the second stop element should be used, the fastening element can be adapted to a given assembly structure.

Vorzugsweise ist der Winkel der winkligen Neigung vom ersten und vom zweiten Anschlagselement im Bereich von 30° bis 90° zur Supportfläche.Preferably, the angle of angular inclination of the first and second stop elements is in the range of 30° to 90° to the support surface.

Vorzugsweise stehen im Auslieferungszustand sowohl das erste als auch das zweite Anschlagselement in der Neutrallage und werden dann wahlweise vom Installateur in die Anschlagslage gebogen. Alternativerweise steht eines der beiden Anschlagselemente in der Anschlagslage und das andere der beiden Anschlagselemente steht in der Neutrallage, wobei der Installateur beim Einsatz des letzteren Anschlagselements beide Anschlagselemente aus der jeweiligen Lage in die andere Lage bringen muss.When delivered, both the first and second stop elements are preferably in the neutral position and are then optionally bent into the stop position by the installer. Alternatively, one of the two stop elements is in the stop position and the other of the two stop elements is in the neutral position, whereby the installer must move both stop elements from the respective position to the other position when using the latter stop element.

Vorzugsweise sind genau zwei von den ersten Anschlagselementen und genau eines vom zweiten Anschlagselementen vorhanden.Preferably, exactly two of the first stop elements and exactly one of the second stop elements are present.

Die beiden ersten Anschlagselemente stehen vorzugsweise in einem Abstand beabstandet zueinander.The first two stop elements are preferably spaced apart from one another.

Vorzugsweise weist das mindestens eine erste Anschlagselement mindestens eine erste Anschlagsfläche auf, welche eine erste Anschlagsebene definiert, undd das mindestens eine zweite Anschlagselement weist mindestens eine zweite Anschlagsfläche auf, welche eine zweite Anschlagsebene definiert.

Alternativerweise kann die erste Biegeverbindung auch einen Durchbruch aufweisen.Preferably, the first bending connection extends completely and without interruption between the two recesses. Alternatively, the first bending connection can also have a breakthrough.

Vorzugsweise ist das zweite Anschlagselement eine Lasche. Die Lasche wird durch zwei beabstandet zueinander liegende und den Supportabschnitt durchdringende Ausnehmungen, die sich von der zweiten Biegeverbindung winklig geneigt, insbesondere rechtwinklig, wegerstrecken, und durch eine weitere Ausnehmung, die gegenüber der Biegeverbindung liegt und die beiden Ausnehmung verbindet, gebildet.Preferably the second stop element is a tab. The tab is formed by two recesses that are spaced apart from one another and penetrate the support section and extend away from the second bending connection at an angular inclination, in particular at a right angle, and by a further recess that lies opposite the bending connection and connects the two recesses.

Vorzugsweise wird die zweite Biegeverbindung zwischen den beiden Ausnehmungen unterbrochen, derart, dass der Biegewiderstand der zweiten Biegeverbindung kleiner wird.Preferably, the second bending connection is interrupted between the two recesses in such a way that the bending resistance of the second bending connection becomes smaller.

Hierdurch kann die Breite des zweiten Anschlagselements vergrössert werden, ohne dass die vergrösserte Breite die Handhabung negativ beeinflussen würde.This allows the width of the second stop element to be increased without the increased width having a negative impact on handling.

Vorzugsweise weist jede der Biegeverbindungen jeweils eine Biegeachse auf, wobei die Biegeachsen in einer gemeinsamen Ebene liegen und wobei die Biegeachse des mindestens einen ersten Anschlagselements rechtwinklig zur Biegeachse des mindestens einen zweiten Anschlagselements orientiert ist.Preferably, each of the bending connections has a bending axis, the bending axes lying in a common plane and the bending axis of the at least one first stop element being oriented at right angles to the bending axis of the at least one second stop element.

Die Verstärkungslaschen können überdies als Anschlagsflächen oder Stützflächen für den Sanitärartikel dienen.Preferably, reinforcing tabs extend away from the support section on at least one, in particular on three, side edges, the reinforcing tabs extending away from the support section from a rear surface opposite the support surface. The reinforcing tabs can also serve as stop surfaces or support surfaces for the sanitary item.

Hierdurch wird verhindert, dass die Verstärkungslaschen die Funktion der Anschlagselemente, die von der Supportfläche abstehen, beeinflussen.This prevents the reinforcement tabs from influencing the function of the stop elements that protrude from the support surface.

Wenn die dritte Anschlagsfläche durch eine Seitenkante des Supportabschnitts bereitgestellt wird, weist die das dritte Anschlagselement bereitstellenden Seitenkante keine Verstärkungslasche auf.If the third stop surface is provided by a side edge of the support section, the side edge providing the third stop element does not have a reinforcing tab.

Weitere Ausführungsformen sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen angegeben.Further embodiments are specified in the dependent claims.
