Description
- This patent refers to a pre-mounted installation box for faucets according to the preamble of
claim 1. - A kind of the pre-mounted installation box is circular, whereas the fixture frame is usually also circular. The fixture frame may be installed directly on the installation box. By means of threads on the fixture frame and the box, or alternatively by means of buckles, the fixture frame and the pre-mounted installation box can be connected tightly. During the installation, the fixture frame and installation box have to be rotated about each other, which may lead to a restriction: when the installation box is non-circular, the fixture frame can not be installed.
- When the installation box is non-circular, the fixture frame is usually separated into two parts, i.e. two fixture planks. The fixture plank has buckles in its inner side, which can match to the other joints on the outer wall of the installation box. Additionally, the fixture plank has plugs on one end and sockets on the other end. The fixture frame may be formed by connecting both fixture planks by plugging the plugs to the sockets on each other, yet the strength is reduced significantly and the connection is weakened.

By using plugs to fix the fixture frame to the box body, the shape of the fixture frame is no longer restricted by the shape of the installation box. This design not only simplifies the installation of the installation box, but also strengthens the stability of the installation box.
- The technical solution introduced by this patent is solved by the features of
claim 1. - In order to break the restriction of the existing pre-mounted installation box and its installation method, this patent introduces a new pre-mounted installation box for faucets.
- Firstly, the fixture frame is designed to have a circular structure, which is inseparable. This design not only may fix the installation box, tighten its installation, but also may simplify the installation and break the restriction of the shape of the fixture frame.
- Secondly, in this patent, plugs, first ribs, second ribs along with sockets, first notches and second notches that may fit to them, are able to fix the fixture frame and the installation box into one piece tightly.
- At last, in this patent, the plug is fixed by the bar-shape buckle in the fixture frame, which may tighten the connection between the fixture frame and the box body. The designed structure is concise, it not only may simplify the installation and operation of the pre-mounted installation box in the hollow wall, but also may adapt the fixture frame with a certain shape to the box body that in different shape.
