Abstract

The fixing consists of a cylinder (1) at the base of the tap (2). A body (9) with end support points (10) has a pivoting spindle (15) with a threaded orifice engaging an oblique screw (19). The body is screwed against the lower face (21) of the sink (8) to clamp the cylinder.

Description

3s The present invention relates to a device for fixing by the

above

  sink, sink, basin faucets, without having to access these items from below.

  The fixing of the taps is traditionally carried out from below with a flange and a nut which is not easy considering the little space to operate because of the depth of the tanks, it is also difficult to operate a wrench in this place for tightening of the valve fixing nut, another drawback is the correct positioning

  tap during tightening since you have to be above and below at the same time.

  The device according to the invention makes it possible to remedy these drawbacks, it in fact comprises a fixing system allowing the tightening of the tap by the upper part of a sink, a washbasin or a basin, the fixing comes this mount on the faucet base making the two elements a single set that will pass through the upper hole of the sink, sink or basin. Once introduced, a counterweight system places the fixing body in a horizontal position, then using a tool it will suffice to give a rotation movement to the fixing screw to raise the body which will rest on the

  underside of the sink, sink or basin until the assembly is completely blocked.

  Particular embodiment, The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention: It in fact comprises, according to a first characteristic, a cylinder (1) which is fixed on the base of the tap (2) thereof and provided with the face superior to the face lower of two lumen (3) for the passage of the supply hoses (13) and of a lumiere (4) for the passage of the fixing screw (6) allowing the fixing of the cylinder (1) to the tap (2) as well as an oblique light (5) starting from the high side of the cylinder up to the lower face allowing the passage of the fixing screw (19) of the body, the cylinder (1) will have a groove (7) on the periphery of the face lower of the cylinder intended to receive a sealing joint so that the tap (2) rests in fac, it is waterproof when it is fixed on the upper face of

sink, sink or basin (8).

  According to a second characteristic, the part allowing the tap (2) to be tightened to the sink, sink or basin (8) consists of a metal body (9) provided at each end with support points (10) themselves provided with rubber (11) to avoid slipping during contact with the underside of the sink, sink or basin (8), one of the ends comprises a pad of lugs (12) opposite perpendicular to said body (9) for hold the hoses (13) during the insertion into the orifice (14) of the sink, sink or basin (8), the body (9) comprising a pivoting axis (15) provided with a threaded orifice (16 ) and cooperating with a screw (19) positioned in an oblique cone through the cylinder (1) and allowing the body (9) to be raised to tighten against the lower face (21) of a sink, sink or basin, the body (9) also includes on one end a counterweight (17) to facilitate the horizontal tilting after ['insertion of the orifice (14) of sink, sink or basin (8) as well as at the other end in the vicinity of the pivoting axis (15) a stop element (18) so that the said body (9) remains horizontal during tilting, the cylinder (1) comprises a cover (20) to hide the fixing screw (19)

from the body.

  The invention also relates to a spacer for an existing piece of sanitary tapware to be fitted using the device according to the invention, which comprises a cylinder (1) positioned at the base of the piece of tapware (2) comprising two lights <3) for the passage of the flexible hoses (13) for supplying fluid and a light (4) for the passage of the fixing screw (6) allowing ['assembly on the piece of valves - (2), the light (5) for the fixing screw (19) positioned fa, oblique cone about 45 crossing the

  cylinder (1) and cooperating with said body (9).

  Figures 1 and 2 illustrate the lights (3) (4) (S) of the cylinder (1) Figure 3 illustrates the pivoting axis (15), the threaded orifice of the axis (16), the pins (12 ) Figure 4 illustrates the pins (12) hangers Figure 6 illustrates the passage in [orifice (14) of the sink, sink or basin (8) Figure 7 illustrates the tilting of the body (9) in horizontal position FIG. 5 illustrates the blocking position of the body (9) and tap (2) assembly. By way of nonlimiting example: the cylinder (1) will have dimensions of the order of 2.5 cm for the height and S cm for the diameter, the body (9) divides into two unequal parts, one of 3.5 cm and the other of 3 cm all for a total length of the body (9) of 6.5 cm, a height of 1, 9 cm for the supports (10) including the rubbers (11) and a width of 1 cm. The part of the body receiving the pivot axis (1S) has a height of 1.5 cm and a width reduced to 0.8 cm, the ends between the axis and the supports have a height of 1 cm, the pivot axis (1S) has a diameter of 0.8 cm and a length of 1 cm, the pins (12) have a length of 1.2 cm each, the counterweight (17) has a length of 2 cm and a width of 0, 7 cm, the stop (18) has a length of 1.5 cm and a width of 0.7 cm, the fixing screw (19) has a length

of 8 cm and a diameter of O, S cm.

  The device according to the invention is intended for fixing sanitary taps.
