Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for fastening a sanitary unit, in particular to a fastening element such as a wall of a building.
  • sanitary units such as toilets to a wall.
  • Such walls also regularly have a front wall which is arranged at a distance from the base wall and encloses a cavity with the latter.
  • a cistern can be provided in the cavity.
  • the pretext can be formed, for example, with plasterboard.
  • the sanitary unit can be fastened to such wall constructions in particular by means of a frame which is arranged inside the cavity or in front of the cavity.
  • Such frames are regularly formed with metal pipes. At the corners of the frame, the metal tubes are usually mitred. The manufacture of such frames requires a particular degree of accuracy, particularly with regard to the corners. This regularly requires the use of expensive machines such as lasers. Extensive reworking of the miter-cut tubes is also required on a regular basis before they can be put together exactly.
  • the EP 0 731 226 A2 discloses a pre-wall installation element with a frame made of at least two vertical struts formed from hollow profiles and at least one cross strut formed from a hollow profile. The corners of the frame are formed by corner connectors that are inserted into the vertical struts and the cross strut. Furthermore, from the DE 92 08 413 U1 a frame-shaped holding device for fastening sanitary objects is known, the vertical rectangular tubes of which are connected to a crossbar by means of pressed-in corner connectors.
  • a device for fastening a sanitary unit to a fastening element is to be presented, which can be produced in a particularly simple manner.
  • a method for producing such a device is also to be presented.
  • a device for fastening a sanitary unit to a fastening element comprising a frame formed with at least one profile tube with at least one frame corner.
  • a connecting piece is provided on the corner of the frame, which spans sections of the at least one profiled tube that adjoin the at least one corner of the frame.
  • the at least one profile tube is partially severed at the at least one frame corner at a separation point, the at least one profile tube being angled at the separation point such that the separation point forms a frame corner of the at least one profile tube.
  • the device described is intended and set up in particular for fastening a sanitary unit such as a wash basin, a toilet and / or a urinal.
  • the sanitary unit can in particular be attached to a wall of a building using the device described.
  • the device described is particularly suitable for walls which have a base wall (which is formed, for example, from brick stones), to which a cavity adjoins, which is closed off by a front wall (which can be formed, for example, with plasterboard).
  • the device described and in particular the frame of the device described are preferably provided in the cavity.
  • the frame can in particular with the base wall and / or connected to the pretext.
  • the described device preferably has, in particular, a cistern for a toilet.
  • fastening elements a wall and components of a wall (such as in particular the base wall) are referred to here as fastening elements.
  • Components of drywall are also considered as fasteners.
  • fastening element is to be interpreted broadly here and includes in particular all components of buildings or components of such components to which the described device and in particular the frame of the described device for fastening the sanitary unit can be fastened.
  • the frame is preferably rectangular.
  • the frame is preferably formed on all four sides by a (single) profile tube. Alternatively, it is preferred that the frame is formed on only three sides by a (single) profile tube, while the frame on a fourth side (which is preferably a lower side of the frame) is closed by further frame elements (which can also be further profile tubes) is.
  • the corners of the frame are to be referred to as frame corners here, which are formed by bending (ie bending) the at least one profile tube. In the case of a rectangular frame, the corners of the rectangle form the frame corners.
  • the frame preferably runs in a straight line outside the frame corners.
  • the profile tube is preferably formed with a metal and / or with a plastic.
  • the concept of the frame is to be interpreted broadly here and in particular also includes parts of frames. If, for example, a profile tube is angled at two frame corners, so that the profile tube forms three sides of a rectangle (which can be connected on the fourth side, for example, by a further frame element), this profile tube, which forms the three sides, should also be referred to as a frame become. Also a profile tube that is only on one corner of the frame is angled, should be referred to here as a frame, provided that the profile tube is intended and set up to be used for a frame.
  • the profile tube is preferably hollow.
  • the profile tube preferably has a cross section with at least one straight edge, at least in the area of the at least one frame corner. This is particularly the case if the cross section is rectangular, square or semicircular.
  • the cross section can have any shape outside the at least one straight edge.
  • the cross section of the profile tube outside the frame corners can also be chosen as desired. However, it is preferred that the profile tube has the same cross section throughout. Such a profile tube is generally easier to manufacture or maintain, which enables a particularly cost-effective manufacture of the device described.
  • the cross section have at least one straight edge because the frame corners can be obtained particularly simply by angling.
  • a single, straight profile tube can be used to produce the frame. This is partially severed at at least one separation point.
  • the profile tube is preferably cut through with the exception of one of the straight edges or with the exception of the only straight edge of the cross section. At the separation point thus obtained, the profile tube can be angled so that the separation point becomes a frame corner.
  • the stability of the profile tube can still be used to use the profile tube thus obtained as a frame for the device described be too low.
  • a respective connecting piece is inserted into the at least one frame corner.
  • the connecting piece is inserted into the respective frame corner in such a way that the sections of the profile tube adjoining the frame corner are spanned by the connecting piece.
  • spanning means that a gap between the sections is closed by the connecting piece.
  • the connecting piece is preferably designed such that the sections of the profile tube adjoining the corresponding frame corner are held at a certain angle (in particular at a right angle) to one another by the connecting piece.
  • the connecting piece can in particular be inserted into the frame corner in such a way that an increase in the angle of the frame corner (that is to say a bending apart of the sections of the profile tube) is suppressed. To prevent deformation of the frame as a whole, it may be sufficient to suppress only the enlargement of the angle of the frame corner.
  • the profile tube forms, for example, three sides of a rectangular frame
  • this frame can be deformed in particular by increasing the angle of one corner of the frame and reducing the angle of the other corner of the frame.
  • the connecting piece is connected to one or both of the adjacent sections of the profile tube, in particular by gluing, welding, screwing and / or engaging a click connection. A reduction in the angle of the frame corner can thus be prevented in particular.
  • the connecting piece is preferably formed with a metal and / or with a plastic.
  • the connector can be obtained by die-casting zinc.
  • the profile tube is angled at a right angle on the at least one frame corner.
  • the frame is rectangular.
  • the profile tube can in particular form three sides or all four sides of the frame.
  • an L-shaped frame can be obtained, which can be used in particular together with other frame elements.
  • the profile tube has a rectangular cross section.
  • Profile tubes with a rectangular cross section are particularly easy to manufacture or can be obtained at particularly low cost.
  • the profile tube preferably has the (same) rectangular cross section over its entire length.
  • the rectangular profile tube is preferably cut at three of the four edges of the cross section in order to obtain the separation points.
  • the connecting piece engages in at least one section of the profiled tube adjacent to the corner of the frame.
  • the profile tube is preferably hollow on the inside.
  • the connecting piece can be inserted into one of the sections of the profile tube adjacent to the frame corner.
  • the connector can be connected to this section of the profile tube, for example, by gluing, welding, screwing and / or latching a click connection, so that the connector is held in this section.
  • the connector can also be formed from a material which is in any case so flexible that the connecting piece can be inserted into the section of the profiled tube with the application of a force, so that the connecting piece is held in the profiled tube by frictional engagement.
  • a material for the connecting piece can in particular be a plastic. If the connecting piece is held in one section in this way, this may already be sufficient to stabilize the frame, because the connecting piece can thus suppress an increase in the angle of the frame corner.
  • the connecting piece has a first opening for fastening the frame to the fastening element with a first fastening pin, the first opening being formed perpendicular to a plane of the frame.
  • the connecting piece can serve other purposes in addition to the stabilization of the frame described.
  • the frame according to this embodiment of the described device can be connected to the fastening element via the connecting piece.
  • the connecting piece has the first opening, which in particular can be designed as a bore that runs through the connecting piece.
