Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a support structure for wall sanitary ware, such as toilet bowls and bidets hanging on a wall.
  • the purpose of the present invention is, first of all, of supplying a support structure for wall sanitary fixtures, which makes it possible the installation to be easily and rapidly carried out by the installer, both in the case of a toilet bowl and a bidet.
  • the invention also aims at providing a structure of the above specified type, which makes it possible the sanitary fixtures to be reliably fastened even with a limited number of components of the same structure.
  • Another purpose of the invention is of providing a support structure for supporting toilet bowls and bidets hanging on a wall, which is also suitable for use in non-load-bearing walls, in any case securing a stable and reliable fastening of the sanitary fixtures and an easy and quick installation.
  • a support structure for supporting sanitary fixtures hanging on a wall comprising a main support element which can be installed inside a wall, and to which the sanitary fixtures are removably fastened, characterized in that said main support element consists of two substantially parallel uprights and at least one crosspiece for said uprights linking, said crosspiece defining housing seats for water feed and discharge pipes or said sanitary fixtures.
  • the installer has available fixed points, defined by said seats, which enable him to exactly prearrange the emergence points of the water feed and discharge pipes from the carrier wall, thusly avoiding any rough positioning thereof, which necessarily occurs with the structures known from the prior art, and which is the cause of very frequent mistakes in sanitary ware installation.
  • the installer is no longer obliged to initially install the pipes with their relevant outlets inside the wall and then assemble around said pipes the elements which constitute the support structure, but initially fastens the support structure, constituted by the main support element, and then, with the aid of the latter, he can easily install the pipes in their exact position, with which he may then rapidly connect the sanitary ware connection fittings, after fastening said sanitary ware to the support structure, because the pipes emerging from the wall are now exactly aligned with the sanitary ware connection fittings.
  • the main support element can be provided with a further crosspiece, suitable for being applied, preferably removably, to the support element, and defining housing seats for water feed and discharge pipes for a bidet.
  • the other crosspiece, running over said second crosspiece, defines, on the contrary, the housing seats for the water feed and discharge pipes for a toilet bowl.
  • main support element further elements can be associated which are suitable, for example, for supporting a flush tank, or for anchoring to the floor the main element in the case when the installation is carried out in non-load-bearing walls.
  • a support structure according to the present invention suitable for supporting sanitary fixtures hanging on a wall, such as hanging toilet bowls and bidets, comprises a main support element 1, which can be installed inside a wall and to which said sanitary fixtures can be removably fastened.
  • the element 1 essentially consists of two uprights 2 and 3, substantially parallel to each other and at least one crosspiece 4 which connects the uprights 2, 3.
  • the crosspiece 4 is preferably made enbloc with the uprights 2, 3, and is substantially perpendicular to said uprights 2, 3.
  • the element 1 is made of metal.
  • the uprights 2, 3 and the crosspiece 4 have, a long most of their length, a cross section which is substantially "C"-shaped, as can be seen in particular in Figures 2, 4 and 5.
  • the crosspiece 4 defines housing seats 5 and 6 for water feed 7 and discharge 8 pipes for the sanitary fixtures.
  • the crosspiece 4 is provided, at its upper side, with a substantially semicylindrical seat 5 inside which the water feed pipe 7 is housed, which is fastened to the crosspiece 4 by means of a locking collar 9, in its turn made integral with the upper wall 10 of the crosspiece 4, for example by means of screws 11.
  • the crosspiece 4 is preferably provided with an extension 12 ending with a circle-arc profile for housing the discharge pipe 8, which is kept fastened to said crosspiece 4 by a locking collar 13 running through holes 14 and 15 respectively provided through the lower and upper walls of the "C"-shaped profile of the crosspiece 4 and locked by means of nuts 16 screwed onto the screw-threaded ends of the collar 13.
  • the crosspiece 4 is furthermore provided with two through-bores 17, 18 for fastening screws 19, 20 by means of which the sanitary fixtures are fastened.
  • the support structure can be used in order to install, hanging on a wall, a toilet bowl, with 7 being the toilet bowl feed pipe and 8 being the toilet bowl discharge pipe.
  • the main support element 1 which is positioned and fixed inside the wall, supplies the installer with two fixed points, represented by the seats 5 and 6, which define two positioning and support templates for the pipes respectively above and under the midpoint of the horizontal crosspiece 4 of the element 1.
  • the toilet bowl feed and discharge pipes 7 and 8 respectively are so exactly positioned by the installer inside the carrier wall and then are fastened, as already said, by means of the collars 9 and 13, which also allow a fastening to be accomplished which can be adjusted as a function of the size of the pipes.
  • the installer will automatically find the match of the pipes 7 and 8 with the toilet bowl connection fittings during the step of toilet bowl installation. It derives that with the structure according to the present invention an easier and faster installation is obtained, with considerable time and costs savings.
  • the main support element 1 may advantageously be provided with a further crosspiece 21 (Figure 3) between the upright 2, 3, defining housing seats 22, 23 for the water feed pipes 24, 25 and discharge pipe 26 of a bidet.
  • said crosspiece 21 can be removably fastened to the uprights 2, 3.
  • the crosspiece 21 may be provided, for example, with end fastening extensions 27, 28, which can be entered with a mechanical key effect into pockets 29, 30 purposely provided on the uprights 2, 3.
  • a plurality of fastening pocket pairs 29, 30 can be provided, placed at different levels in the uprights 2, 3, as illustrated.
  • the crosspiece 21 has an essentially planar configuration with a lower bent edge 31, and displays two substantially parallel and upwards protruding extensions 32 in which the seats 22 are defined, which are of semicylindrical shape with vertical axis and act as housings respectively for the pipes 24 and 25 for feeding hot and cold water to the bidet.
  • the pipes 24 and 25 are fastened by means of locking collars 33, which can be fastened by means of screws 34 to the extensions 32 which define the pipe seats 22.
  • the crosspiece 21 is provided with a substantially semicylindrical seat 23 suitable for housing the bidet discharge pipe 26. Also this pipe is fastened by means of a locking collar 35 and screw means 36.
  • the support element 1 equipped with the crosspiece 21 supplies the installer with three further fixed points, acting again as positioning and support templates for the hot/cold water and discharge pipes.
  • Such points are differently positioned relatively to the central body of the element 1, as a consequence of the different arrangement of the bidet connection fittings, as compared to the toilet bowl.
  • the pipes, installed by the installer in their exact position inside the carrier wall thanks to the constraint constituted by the same templates, are fastened to the support structure for the sanitary fixtures, with adjustement possibility by means of the adjustable collars 33 and 35. Exactly positioning said pipes facilitates the connection with the bidet feed and discharge fittings by the installer, with considerable time and costs savings.
  • a further advantage shown by the structure according to the present invention is given by the higher facility of installation of said structure inside the wall, as compared to the structures known from the prior art, also thanks to a smaller number of components.
  • the main support element 1 may advantageously be provided with brackets 37, 38, protruding from the top end of said uprights and orientated towards each other.
  • the element 1 may be provided with side extensions 39, 40 at the bottom end of the uprights, inside which screw-threaded adjustement feet 41 can be inserted, which can be fixed in any desired positions by means of nuts 42.
  • the extensions 39, 40 can be obtained by suitably bending the relevant flange of the "C"-shape cross section of the uprights 2, 3.
  • the main support element 1 is advantageously provided with anchoring brackets 43, 44 ( Figures 1-4), of square bent shape and removably fastened onto the bottom ends of the uprights 2, 3.
  • the brackets 43, 44 are fastened to or inside the floor, thus securing the reliable and strong support of the sanitary fixtures to non-load-bearing walls.
  • the configuration of said element 1 makes it also possible further support elements to be applied onto the upper ends of the uprights 2, 3, for example, in order to support a flush tank destined to remain buried inside the wall.
  • the installer is supplied with an easily and rapidly installed support structure, which can be used in order to install, hanging on a wall, the toilet bowl and, alternatively, a hanging bidet as well.
  • the structure is also suitable for installing sanitary fixtures in non-load-bearing walls, by simply applying the square brackets 43, 44, preferably with a "C"-shaped cross section.
  • the configuration of the uprights 2, 3 could be suitably modified, by providing inside them recessed housings or hollows in order to allow in particular the toilet bowl discharge pipe to run through, so as to keep the structure and the pipes inside the limits of the wall thickness.
  • the upright 2 or 3 at the side of which the toilet bowl discharge pipe 8 is caused to run, comprises a contoured connection bar 45 with a protruding portion 45a and fastened to the upright 2 or 3 by means of screws 46. Opposite to the portion 45a, the upright 2 or 3 is interrupted, with a portion thereof being cut away.
  • the discharge pipe 8, having a suitable diameter gets housed inside the room available between the separated portions of the upright 2 or 3 and the contoured bar 45, also suitably dimensioned in order to support the stresses the structure is designed to be exposed to, so that the whole structure can remain within the limits of the non-load-bearing wall.
  • the structure of the present invention can be variously modified without departing from the scope of protection of the invention.
  • the crosspiece 4 could be replaced by an element distinct from the uprights 2, 3 and removably fastened to them.
  • the crosspiece 21 could be fastened to the uprights 2, 3 also in a different way from as disclosed and illustrated herein, for example, by means of screws, or it can be made as one single piece with the uprights 2, 3.
  • the feature of the definition of the fixed points by the seats for the pipes being given for granted, said seats might also have a different configuration from as disclosed and illustrated.
  • the uprights 2, 3 might also have brackets in different positions as compared to the brackets diclosed and illustrated, or also further brackets.
