Definitions

the present invention relates to a recessed frame according to the preamble of claim 1 for clamping of sanitary elements having as an essential object to achieve a simple structure, made of one single material which reduces the cost of the frame and on which the sanitary elements are installed.
the frame of the invention is intended to facilitate the mounting of sanitary appliances with an element of easy handling and assembly, on which are mounted the sanitary appliances in a simple way and with a pleasant aesthetic result.
the frame is designed to incorporate in a single piece and made of the same material, most of the elements that compose it, i.e. it is designed as a one-piece structure.
the invention further relates to a manufacturing process and the use of such a recessed frame.
the frames currently in the market consist of a combination of metal elements, plastic elements and rubber parts, requiring a stage of assembly to be necessary prior to the installation of these frames, what complicates and makes more expensive the frame and consequently the installation of sanitary appliances with this system of frames.
the document EP0646678 discloses prefabricated sanitary construction elements for attaching sanitary installations to the room wall are intended to form an aesthetically pleasing cladding and to be of a dimensionally and positionally stable design. Instead of a frame structure, use is made, according to the invention, of a three-dimensional structure which is produced from a foamed plastic, with inserted reinforcements and cavities made therein, and can be clamped on the room wall by means of anchor screws such that no buckling can take place; a specially designed spacer sleeve is provided for this purpose.
the document EP0826837 discloses a module consists of a formed body of insulating material and contains plumbing components.
the body consists of two or more shell elements which are adapted to the shape of the components and are sound-insulating. The elements are fitted together tightly to enclose the components.
the shell elements are connected especially waterproof to each other via frictionally-engaging tongue-and-groove parts, and may form plumbing components, especially water-containing parts.
the formed body consists of several layers of different characteristics, e.g. density, strength, sound absorption, fire-proofing.
the front is formed so that it can be tiled.
US3278950 discloses a mounting device for a wall hung plumbing fixture, comprising a carrier, means attached to said carrier supporting said plumbing fixture therefrom, means supporting said carrier on upright frame members, the last said means comprising a pair of bracket assemblies, each of said bracket assemblies comprising a pair of mounting clips and a template.
the invention consists of a recessed frame for clamping of sanitary elements comprising a box of actuation mechanisms, an intermediate water tank and a lower structure for supporting and mounting the toilet, the three elements mentioned above make up a single one-piece part.
the lower structure integrates a central crossbeam in which two inclined crossbeams and one exhaust duct which leads into a central area of the central crossbeam flanked by the terminal sections of the inclined crossbeams converge.
this bridge Jointly to the central crossbeam and at its bottom there is a bridge, this bridge consisting of one single piece, and associated with the bridge we find a flange that is adaptable to any diameter of a drain pipe of the sanitary element, attaching the drain pipe through the bridge and flange assembly.
the lower supporting and mounting structure of the toilet incorporates legs which in turn incorporate a height adjustment mechanism.
the upper part of the block, the part of the mechanisms box, has blunt edges, i.e. it has rounded corners to prevent sharp edges and sharp corners.
the frame includes a discharging device that has a part in the area of the mechanisms box and another one in the area of the water tank since the discharging device allows the emptying of the water from the tank.
the water tank has at least one inlet and at least one water outlet, which is linked to the water exhaust duct through which the water tank is emptied during the use of the sanitary appliance.
the one-piece part that configures the frame is manufactured in any mouldable material preferably plastic, zamac, aluminium, etc; also the manufacture of the one-piece part is carried out by the technique of rotational moulding or else by the technique of injection of the material to be shaped.
the top elements of the frame are removed, resulting in a frame for mounting of sanitary appliances, wash basins and bidets, comprising one single lower supporting and mounting structure of the toilet, which integrates a central crossbeam wherein two inclined crossbeams converge, a bridge formed by one single piece associated with a flange to adapt it to any diameter of a drain pipe, said drain pipe being attached through the bridge and flange assembly.
Said embodiment also includes either of two configurations that are arranged for the height adjustment mechanism of the legs. Moreover, it entails significant savings in materials and costs.
the invention is intended to facilitate the mounting of sanitary appliances with an element of easy handling and assembly, with which the sanitary appliances are assembled in a simple way and with a pleasant aesthetic result.
the frame is designed to include in one single piece and made of the same material, all the elements that compose it, i.e. it is designed as a one-piece structure.
the frame is designed to facilitate the installation of a toilet in the preferred embodiment of the invention.
the frame comprises two main parts that include all the elements that provide it with the subsequent functionality, said parts are the block (1), which consists of a box of actuation mechanisms (2) together with a water tank (3), and a lower structure (4) for supporting and mounting the toilet.
the block (1) is located at the upper part of the frame comprising the box of actuation mechanisms (2) and the water tank (3), and it is important to note that at the top, the frame has blunt edges (15), and the sides have been softened to prevent the presence of sharp edges and sharp areas. And finally, located between the block (1) and the pavement, we find the lower structure (4) for supporting and mounting the sanitary element.
the water tank (3) is a compartment comprising four walls and a floor with a water inlet to fill the tank (3) and, at the bottom of the tank (3) we find a water outlet (22) that connects to the exhaust duct (5) of the water that facilitates the emptying of the tank (3).
a discharging device (16) that allows the emptying of the water tank (3) during the use of the toilet.
a lower structure (4) for supporting and mounting the toilet comprising legs (11) that include a height adjustment system (14) of the frame and located between the two legs (11) there is a connection central crossbeam (10') that adds rigidity to the legs (11) together with inclined crossbeams (10) joining the legs (11) by their highest part with the crossbeam (10').
the frame For the inner separation of the tank (3) and the legs (11) the frame has a partition wall (12) located in the highest area of the lower structure (4) for supporting and mounting the toilet, which prevents the internal flood of the legs (11).
the lower structure (4) for supporting and mounting the toilet is completely configured by the water exhaust duct (5) extending from the water tank (3) by its bottom and is joined in the middle of the central crossbeam (10'), joining in this way the aforementioned central crossbeam (10') with the water tank (3).
the installation conventional ducts are connected.
the structure comprises a single piece bridge (6) and a flange (7) that adapts to any variation of the diameter of the tube configured by the drain pipe.
the legs (11) have a height adjustment mechanism (14) which has two possible configurations:
the frame includes inserts (13) that generate threaded holes for the installation of the frame with supports on walls consisting of gypsum plasterboards ("Pladur-type walls).
the frame can be used to hold any sanitary element with the inclusion or exclusion of the elements comprising the frame that are not required, so except for the installation of a toilet, the water tank (3) is not necessary, so that it would not be included in the frame except for the installation of a toilet. Also the connections of the drains and the installation conventional ducts are different according to each sanitary element to be installed, varying the diameter and the configuration of the various water inlet and outlet elements.
the frame is made preferably of plastic with rotational moulding techniques, since, in this way, a homogeneous distribution of the plastic in the entire piece is achieved and the thickness of the wall is suitable to withstand mechanical stress that this piece will undergo.
