Such a fixture can be easily attached even in cramped places. It is fixed to the ground, once the device is in place, working only on the upper part of the appliance.
the invention relates to a ceramic sanitary appliance comprising as accessory an attachment device according to the invention.
the assembly shown in Figure 1 includes an apparatus sanitary ceramic type WC 1 including a bowl 2 opening in an upper part 3 of the sanitary appliance 1.
the sanitary appliance includes a fixing device 4, which has two sub-assemblies identical 5 and 6 (fig. 2) arranged on either side of the bowl, only one being apparent in Figure 1.
Each sub-assembly of the fixing device 4 comprises of share a fixing rod 7, comprising at its lower end a plate 8 adapted to come to rest on the ground and to be fixed on it thanks to dowels 9 for fixing to the ground, and on the other hand an insert 10 covering the rod fixing 7 and blocking the fixing rod 7 in an orifice 11 opening into the upper part 3 of the sanitary appliance 1.
Two orifices 11, only one being apparent in Figure 1, arranged on either side of the bowl receive respectively the two inserts 10 (fig. 2) of the two sub-assemblies 5 and 6.
the fixing device comprises in in addition to a rigid plate 12 forming a template and intended to facilitate the installation of the fixing device. It has two holes 13 adapted to cooperate respectively with the fixing rods 7 so as to position the rods fixing 7 relative to each other at a distance equal to the distance between the orifices 11 in the upper part 3 of the sanitary appliance 1 during fixing 8 plates on the ground.
the insert 10 has a conical head 14 surmounting a first cylindrical portion 15 and a second portion cylindrical 16 located in the extension of the first portion 15 and diameter smaller than the diameter of the first portion 15.
the insert 10 has thus a tapered profile.
the first cylindrical portion 15 is adapted by its dimensions to follow a part of the internal wall of the orifice 11.
the conical head 14 has a clamping imprint 17 to six sides.
the conical head 14 of the insert 10 is adapted by its future dimensions bear on the periphery of the orifice 11, on the upper part 3 of the sanitary appliance 1.
the insert 10 includes a first internal thread 18 opening in the conical head 14 and a second internal thread 19 opening into the second cylindrical portion 16.
first and second internal threads 18, 19 are located as an extension of each other and in reality constitute a tapping single crossing longitudinally the insert 10.
the second internal thread 19 of the insert 10 cooperates with one end threaded 20 of the fixing rod 7.
a flap 21 includes a member mounting 22 allowing the mounting of the flap on the sanitary appliance 10.
this mounting member 22 is a hinge which includes a base 23 for attachment to the device.
This base 23 has a stud 24 adapted to cooperate with a cylinder 25 of a connecting member in the form of elbow 26 comprising a stud 27 adapted to fit into an orifice 28 integral with the flap 21.
a fixing member of the screw 29 type is carried by the base 23. This screw 29 comes to cooperate with the first internal thread 18 of the insert 10, thus ensuring the screwing of the flap 21 on the device sanitary 1.
the insert 10 has an axis 30 emerging from the conical head 14.
the axis 30 is adapted to receive by fitting the mounting member 31 of the flap 21.
the mounting member 31 of the flap 21 comprises for example, integral with the axis 27 of the hinge, a fixing block 32 comprising a hole cylindrical 33 adapted to fit on the axis 30.
the insert 10 here comprises a tightening nut 34.
the plate 8 has two orifices for the fixing, which has the effect of solidifying the fixing of the sanitary appliance to the ground.
the rigid plate 12 makes it possible to correctly position the fixing rods 7, one relative to each other, so that the distance between the fixing rods is equal to the distance between the orifices 11 arranged on either side of the bowl and opening into the upper part of the sanitary appliance 1.
the absence of the sanitary appliance 1 during this first assembly step makes it easier to fix the fixture to the floor 1 in cramped places.
the sanitary appliance 1 is put on the fixing rods 7, and the apparatus is positioned so that the orifices 11 of the device respectively overhang the upper ends 20 of the fixing rods 7.
the relative dimensions of the orifice 11 and the fixing rod 7 allow a first positioning of the rod relative to the orifice.
the tapered profile of the insert 10 makes it possible to view the fixing rod 7, thus facilitating this operation.
the second thread 19 of the insert 10 cooperates with the threaded end 20 of the fixing rod 7, and this by acting on the impression of clamping 17 of insert 10 using a known and easy-to-use clamping tool.
the first cylindrical portion 15 of the insert 10 comes in contact with the internal wall of the orifice 11
the conical head 14 of the insert 10 is adapted by its dimensions coming to bear on the periphery of the orifice 11, ending with there the tightening step, and allowing the locking of the fixing rod 7 in orifice 11.
the fixing to the floor of the sanitary appliance takes place on the upper part 3 of the sanitary appliance 1, which facilitates its installation in confined spaces.
the cover 21 is fixed on the sanitary appliance 1.
the assembly the flap 21 on the fixing device 4 is effected by fitting the block fixing 32 on the axis 30 of the insert 10.
the cap 30 is capped by the member mounting 31 secured to the flap 21 by bringing the cylindrical hole 33 to cooperate by fitting with the axis 30 of the insert 10.
the tightening of the insert 10 on the fixing rod 7 is effected by acting on the clamping nut 34.
the invention therefore makes it possible to fix directly the flap 21 on the insert 10.
the orifices 11 can be used at the same time for housing the inserts 10 and for fixing the flap 21.
the fixing device targeted by the invention makes it possible to improve aesthetics by reducing the number of holes provided in the device, in particular by eliminating the fixing cells conventionally provided for in the feet of the sanitary appliance for fixing to the floor of the sanitary appliance.
the sanitary appliance comprises a 35 ceramic fairing, masking the foot of the bowl and extending up to the flushing block 36, the two fixing rods 7 are housed at the interior of this fairing 35.
the inserts 10 are capped by the member mounting 22, 31 of the flap 21. Consequently, the fixing device 4 is not apparent to the user, which benefits the aesthetics of the device sanitary 1.
