- 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.
