Definitions

• This description report refers to a FINISHING ELEMENT FOR SANITARY APPLIANCES developed specially to be used in toilets and bidets with the primarily purpose to deliver a better solution for such bathroom appliances, not only regarding aesthetic and decoration features, but also regarding functional issues, since the finishing element can comprise construction displays that will enable the assembly additional utilities to the above mentioned bathroom appliances.
• the FINISHING ELEMENT FOR SANITARY APPLIANCES hereby proposed can also be adjusted for use in bathroom, kitchen or service areas appliances, such as basins and washing tanks.
• THE FINISHING ELEMENT FOR SANITARY APPLIANCES hereby proposed is primarily composed by a fitting element that is assembled around the body of the sanitary appliances, especially to toilets and bidets, in order to provide them with a more harmonious aspect, including better adequacy to the bathroom decoration.
• the aforementioned finishing element will enable to display in its outside surface all kinds of designs and/or graphic patterns.
• THE FINISHING ELEMENT FOR SANITARY APPLIANCES hereby proposed can be applied to toilets and bidets of any model and shall be disposed around the body of the referred parts, supported on top, on the edges of the toilet or of the bidet, and t below, on the ground. Both lateral parts shall extend to the wall where the referred sanitary appliances are assembled, thus hiding not only their bodies, but also the tubing.
• THE FINISHING ELEMENT FOR SANITARY APPLIANCES is formed by the body, built as a single part, which preferentially is presented in a "C" format, but it can display different formats.
• the element goes around all the exterior wall of the sanitary appliance, extending itself laterally until the wall in which the tubing of the sanitary device is installed, and the exterior surface of the said body can contain the most varied kinds of themes and decorative graphic patterns, and the fitting of the body in the sanitary appliance is made through the overlap of the top edge of the body on the sanitary seat, which is settled against the top edge of the referred sanitary appliance and which shall be surrounded by the top edge of the body, thus enabling a perfect fitting and retention of the set, which is stable due to the fact of the body is settled against the floor.

• Figure 7 shows a perspective view, with the example of the installation of the finishing element in a toilet, showing the installation of an interior lighting system in the compartment between the finishing element and the toilet;
• THE FINISHING ELEMENT FOR SANITARY APPLIANCES is basically formed by a body (1) manufactured as a single set which is preferentially presented in a "C" format but that can, however, display different formats that, when installed, shall go around all the exterior wall of the sanitary appliance, (2) extending itself laterally to the wall in which the tubing (not shown) of the referred sanitary appliance (2) is installed, and the exterior surface of the body (1) can contain the most varied motives and decorative graphic patterns, and the fitting of the body (1) into the sanitary appliance (2) is made through the overlapping of the top edge (3) of the body (1) into the sanitary seat (4), which is settled against the top edge of the referred sanitary appliance (2), and which shall be surrounded by the top edge (3) of the body (1), thus allowing a perfect fitting and retention of the set with its stability, since the body (1) is settled against the floor.
• This compartment can house other features, such as an audio system (6); a heating system (7) and/or a vibrating massage system, or also an interior lighting system (8) with a presence sensor.
