According to the invention, the fixing device comprises a rod fixing to the ground and blocking means adapted to block the fixing rod in a hole opening in the upper part of the sanitary appliance.

Ainsi, la mise en place du dispositif de fixation sur l'appareil sanitaire s'effectue sur la partie supérieure de l'appareil, ce qui facilite l'installation de l'appareil sanitaire ainsi que sa fixation au sol.Thus, the installation of the fixing device on the device sanitary is carried out on the upper part of the device, which facilitates the installation of the sanitary appliance as well as its fixing to the floor.

Selon une caractéristique préférée de l'invention, l'appareil sanitaire comprenant en tant qu'accessoire un abattant comportant un organe de montage, lesdits moyens de blocage comportent des moyens de fixation dudit organe de montage de l'abattant.According to a preferred characteristic of the invention, the device sanitary including as an accessory a flap comprising an organ mounting, said locking means comprise fixing means said mounting member of the flap.

Ainsi, l'invention prévoit une disposition particulièrement bien adaptée aux cuvettes de WC comportant un abattant, puisqu'elle permet de fixer l'organe de montage de l'abattant directement sur les moyens de blocage. Notamment, les orifices classiquement prévus dans l'appareil pour recevoir les organes de montage de l'abattant, tels que des charnières, peuvent recevoir à la fois le dispositif de fixation et les organes de montage de l'abattant.Thus, the invention provides a particularly good arrangement suitable for WC bowls with a flap, since it allows fix the mounting member of the flap directly on the locking means. In particular, the orifices conventionally provided in the device for receiving the flap mounting members, such as hinges, can accommodate both the fixing device and the mounting members of the flap.

Selon une caractéristique préférée de l'invention, ladite tige de fixation comporte une extrémité filetée adaptée à coopérer avec un taraudage interne des moyens de blocage.According to a preferred characteristic of the invention, said rod attachment has a threaded end adapted to cooperate with a thread internal locking means.

Ainsi, le blocage de la tige de fixation dans l'orifice s'effectue de manière particulièrement simple par vissage des moyens de blocage sur la tige de fixation, facilitant ainsi l'installation de l'appareil sanitaire sur son dispositif de fixation.Thus, the locking of the fixing rod in the orifice is effected by particularly simple way by screwing the locking means on the rod fixing, thus facilitating the installation of the sanitary appliance on its device fixation.

Selon une autre caractéristique préférée de l'invention, lesdits moyens de blocage comportent un insert adapté à venir coiffer la tige de fixation en s'interposant entre celle-ci et une paroi interne de l'orifice.According to another preferred characteristic of the invention, said locking means include an insert adapted to cover the rod of fixing by interposing between it and an internal wall of the orifice.

Ainsi, le blocage de la tige de fixation dans l'orifice s'effectue de manière simple et pratique grâce à l'insert mettant en coopération la tige de fixation et l'orifice quelles que soient les dimensions de ce dernier.Thus, the locking of the fixing rod in the orifice is effected by simple and practical way thanks to the insert putting in cooperation the rod of fixing and the orifice whatever the dimensions of the latter.

Here, 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.

L'organe de montage 31 de l'abattant 21 comporte par exemple, solidaire de l'axe 27 de la chamière, un bloc de fixation 32 comprenant un trou cylindrique 33 adapté à s'emboíter sur l'axe 30.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.

A la place de l'empreinte de serrage 17 à six pans, l'insert 10 comprend ici un écrou de serrage 34.In place of the hexagonal clamping imprint 17, the insert 10 here comprises a tightening nut 34.

Lors du montage de l'appareil sanitaire en céramique 1, on commence par fixer au sol les tiges de fixation par les chevilles 9 venant fixer les platines 8 au sol. Avantageusement, la platine 8 comporte deux orifices pour la fixation, ce qui a pour effet de solidifier la fixation de l'appareil sanitaire au sol. La plaque rigide 12 permet de bien positionner les tiges de fixation 7 l'une par rapport à l'autre, afin que la distance entre les tiges de fixation soit égale à la distance entre les orifices 11 disposés de part et d'autre de la cuvette et débouchant dans la partie supérieure de l'appareil sanitaire 1.When mounting the ceramic sanitary appliance 1, starts by fixing to the ground the fixing rods by the ankles 9 coming to fix the plates 8 on the ground. Advantageously, 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.

Ainsi, l'absence de l'appareil sanitaire 1 lors de cette première étape du montage permet de faciliter la fixation au sol de l'appareil sanitaire 1 dans des lieux exigus.Thus, 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.

Dans un deuxième temps, on enfile l'appareil sanitaire 1 sur les tiges de fixation 7, et on positionne l'appareil de manière à ce que les orifices 11 de l'appareil viennent surplomber respectivement les extrémités supérieures 20 des tiges de fixation 7. Avantageusement, les dimensions relatives de l'orifice 11 et de la tige de fixation 7 permettent un premier positionnement de la tige par rapport à l'orifice.Secondly, 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. Advantageously, the relative dimensions of the orifice 11 and the fixing rod 7 allow a first positioning of the rod relative to the orifice.

Dans un troisième temps, on place l'insert 10 pour coiffer la tige de fixation 7 en enfilant la seconde portion cylindrique 16 de l'insert 10 dans l'orifice 11 de l'appareil.Thirdly, place the insert 10 to cover the stem fixing 7 by threading the second cylindrical portion 16 of the insert 10 into the orifice 11 of the device.

Avantageusement, le profil effilé de l'insert 10 permet de visualiser la tige de fixation 7, facilitant ainsi cette opération.Advantageously, the tapered profile of the insert 10 makes it possible to view the fixing rod 7, thus facilitating this operation.

Puis, le second taraudage 19 de l'insert 10 coopère avec l'extrémité filetée 20 de la tige de fixation 7, et ce en agissant sur l'empreinte de serrage 17 de l'insert 10 grâce à un outil de serrage connu et facile d'utilisation. Avantageusement, au fur et à mesure que l'on serre l'insert 10 sur l'extrémité 20 de la tige de fixation 7, la première portion cylindrique 15 de l'insert 10 vient en contact avec la paroi interne de l'orifice 11Then, 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. Advantageously, as the insert 10 is tightened on the end 20 of the fixing rod 7, the first cylindrical portion 15 of the insert 10 comes in contact with the internal wall of the orifice 11

Ainsi, il est possible d'aligner l'axe de la tige de fixation 7 avec celui de l'orifice 11, ce qui permet l'ajustement de la tige de fixation 7 par rapport à l'orifice 11. Cette caractéristique permet avantageusement de diminuer les contraintes exercées sur la tige de fixation 7 lors de l'utilisation de l'appareil sanitaire 1.Thus, it is possible to align the axis of the fixing rod 7 with that of the orifice 11, which allows the adjustment of the fixing rod 7 by compared to the orifice 11. This characteristic advantageously makes it possible to reduce the stresses exerted on the fixing rod 7 when using the sanitary appliance 1.

Avantageusement, la tête conique 14 de l'insert 10 est adaptée par ses dimensions à venir en appui sur le pourtour de l'orifice 11, terminant par là l'étape de serrage, et permettant le blocage de la tige de fixation 7 dans l'orifice 11.Advantageously, 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.

Ainsi, selon l'invention, la fixation au sol de l'appareil sanitaire s'effectue sur la partie supérieure 3 de l'appareil sanitaire 1, ce qui facilite son installation dans des lieux exigus.Thus, according to the invention, 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.

Dans une dernière étape de montage, on vient fixer l'abattant 21 sur l'appareil sanitaire 1.In a final assembly step, the cover 21 is fixed on the sanitary appliance 1.

Dans le mode de réalisation illustré à la figure 4, on agit sur la vis 29 pour l'amener à coopérer avec le premier taraudage interne 18 de l'insert 10. Puis on solidarise l'organe de liaison 26 à l'abattant 21 en emboítant le téton 27 dans l'orifice 28 de l'abattant 21. Enfin on vient fixer l'ensemble formé par l'organe de liaison 26 et l'abattant 21 sur la base 23 en solidarisant le cylindre 25 au téton 24.In the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 4, one acts on the screw 29 to cause it to cooperate with the first internal thread 18 of the insert 10. Then we connect the connecting member 26 to the flap 21 by fitting the stud 27 in the orifice 28 of the flap 21. Finally, the assembly formed by the connecting member 26 and the flap 21 on the base 23 by securing the cylinder 25 to nipple 24.

Selon une variante de réalisation illustrée à la figure 5, le montage de l'abattant 21 sur le dispositif de fixation 4 s'effectue par emboítement du bloc de fixation 32 sur l'axe 30 de l'insert 10. On coiffe l'axe 30 par l'organe de montage 31 solidaire de l'abattant 21 en amenant le trou cylindrique 33 à coopérer par emboítement avec l'axe 30 de l'insert 10. Ici le serrage de l'insert 10 sur la tige de fixation 7 s'effectue en agissant sur l'écrou de serrage 34.According to an alternative embodiment illustrated in Figure 5, 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. Here the tightening of the insert 10 on the fixing rod 7 is effected by acting on the clamping nut 34.

Avantageusement l'invention permet donc de fixer directement l'abattant 21 sur l'insert 10. Notamment les orifices 11 peuvent servir à la fois pour loger les inserts 10 et pour la fixation de l'abattant 21. Advantageously, the invention therefore makes it possible to fix directly the flap 21 on the insert 10. In particular the orifices 11 can be used at the same time for housing the inserts 10 and for fixing the flap 21.

Ainsi le dispositif de fixation visé par l'invention permet d'améliorer l'esthétique en diminuant le nombre d'orifices prévus dans l'appareil, notamment en supprimant les alvéoles de fixation classiquement prévus dans les pieds de l'appareil sanitaire pour la fixation au sol de l'appareil sanitaire. En outre, lorsque, comme illustré à la figure 1, l'appareil sanitaire comprend un carénage 35 en céramique, masquant le pied de la cuvette et s'étendant jusqu'au bloc de chasse d'eau 36, les deux tiges de fixation 7 sont logées à l'intérieur de ce carénage 35. En outre, les inserts 10 sont coiffés par l'organe de montage 22, 31 de l'abattant 21. Par conséquent, le dispositif de fixation 4 n'est pas apparent pour l'utilisateur, ce qui bénéficie à l'esthétique de l'appareil sanitaire 1.Thus 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. In moreover, when, as illustrated in FIG. 1, 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. In addition, 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.

La présente invention n'est bien entendu pas limitée aux détails de la forme de réalisation qui vient d'être décrite à titre d'exemple, diverses variantes étant à la portée de l'homme de l'art sans sortir du cadre de l'invention. Ainsi, l'invention s'applique à n'importe quel type d'appareil sanitaire en céramique et notamment à un bidet.The present invention is of course not limited to the details of the embodiment which has just been described by way of example, various variants being within the reach of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the scope of the invention. Thus, the invention applies to any type of sanitary appliance ceramic and in particular a bidet.

Les moyens de blocage de la tige de fixation sur la partie supérieure de l'appareil sanitaire pourront être quelconques.The means for blocking the fixing rod on the part of the sanitary appliance may be any.
