Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a mounting system for sanitary articles according to claim 1 and a method for mounting the mounting system according to claim 17.
  • a mounting frame which has a frame corner provided by an incision and folding operation.
  • a connecting piece can be inserted in the corner of the frame.
  • the connecting piece has a fastening tab which is arranged such that it can be pivoted relative to the connecting piece via a bending process.
  • EP 3 441 535 Disadvantage of EP 3 441 535 is that the fastening tab is bent around a bending point provided by the fastening tab for the purpose of pivotability. This leads to undesired material stress in the area of the bending point, which can negatively affect the mechanical strength. As a result, the general assembly stability of the EP 3 441 535 disclosed system weakened.
  • the object of the invention is to specify a mounting system for sanitary articles which overcomes the disadvantages of the prior art.
  • a mounting system for fastening a sanitary article comprises a mounting frame and at least one fastening unit.
  • the mounting frame includes at least one hollow profile, the side walls of which define an interior space. At the end, the hollow profile has an end face.
  • the mounting frame also includes at least one storage structure for storing a sanitary article.
  • the support element includes a guide receptacle and a fastening tab, which is mounted in the guide receptacle so that it can be displaced relative to the support element from an initial position into an assembly position. The support element can be inserted or used in the interior of the hollow profile. In the mounted position, the fastening tab extends out of the guide receptacle and out of the interior space, that is to say from the interior space, beyond the end face of the hollow profile.
  • the fastening lug forms a free end which can then be fastened to a supporting structure, such as for example to a building wall, to a support or to another structure arranged in a fixed manner in a room.
  • the movable or displaceable mounting of the fastening strap in the guide receptacle has the advantage that the movement of the fastening strap does not have a negative impact on the mechanical stability of the fastening strap.
  • the fastening strap can be pushed back and forth between the initial position and the assembly position several times without affecting its stability.
  • the fastening strap can be pulled out of the guide mount and thus also out of the interior. This has the advantage that if the assembly situation requires the use of the fastening tab, the fastening tab can be pulled out of the guide receptacle and that if the assembly situation does not require the use of the fastening tab, the fastening tab remains in the guide receptacle.
  • the end face forms the end of the hollow profile.
  • the support element can be inserted into the interior and, when inserted, lies firmly in the interior. Accordingly, during the process of pulling out the fastening tab, the support element does not move towards the hollow profile.
  • the hollow profile In the installed position, the hollow profile preferably extends vertically and the end face lies horizontally.
  • the support element is at the upper end of the hollow profile.
  • the fastening strap can be pulled out of the hollow profile in the vertical direction.
  • the expression that the fastening element is displaceable relative to the guide receptacle means that the fastening element as a whole can be displaced relative to the stationary support element within the guide.
  • One fastening unit is preferably provided for each hollow profile.
  • the guide receptacle is preferably designed as a longitudinal guide, with the fastening tab being displaceable essentially in the direction of a longitudinal axis of the longitudinal guide.
  • the longitudinal axis preferably runs parallel to the profile axis of the hollow profile.

  • the fastening lug extends beyond the end face, as seen from the interior.
  • the support element can also protrude slightly from the interior space, so that it protrudes beyond the end face, with the fastening tab lying completely in the guide receptacle in the initial position.
  • the support element can be designed in such a way that the support element has a cover which closes the access to the interior of the hollow profile.
  • the hollow profile and the support element preferably have an opening through which the fastening strap can be gripped and can be moved from the initial position into the assembly position.
  • the breakthrough extends through the side wall of the hollow profile.
  • the fastening tab has a guide portion and a Fastening section, wherein in the mounted position of the fastening section is outside the guide seat and the guide section within the guide seat.
  • the fastening section lies at least partially or completely in the guide receptacle.
  • the fastening section is preferably connected to the guide section via a shoulder section, the shoulder section being designed in such a way that a mounting surface of the fastening section comes to lie essentially flush with an outer surface of the hollow profile.
  • the fastening section preferably has at least one fastening opening through which a fastening screw can be passed.
  • a large number of fastening openings are particularly preferably arranged, which has the advantage that the installer can use the fastening opening which suits the installation situation.
