Mounting Device for a Fitting Panel

Abstract

A mounting device for a fitting panel has a base element (20) and at least one fluid connection element (50). The base element includes, at a front side, a device (21, 22) for fastening a fitting panel and, at a rear side, an at least substantially planar bearing surface, at least one through-opening (23) for a fastening device being arranged in the base element and extending from the rear side of the base element to the front side of the base element, in such a way that a fastening device may be passed through the base element at the at least one through-opening. The fluid connection element includes a throughflow channel (51) and a pressing surface (53), wherein the pressing surface is dimensioned such that at least its maximum entire cross-sectional extension is greater than at least one cross-sectional extension of the through-opening, and wherein the at least one through-opening is provided and configured such that a stub (52) of the fluid connection element may be passed, as a fastening device, through the base element at at least two different positions on the base element.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention is a mounting device for a fitting panel that allows for easy and quick mounting without the need for new fastening points in the wall. The device offers flexibility in the arrangement of fittings and is particularly useful in industrial applications. It allows for the fastening position to be flexibly selected, and the device can be easily mounted and quickly suspended in place. The device includes a fluid connection element that allows for fluid communication between the fittings and the wall. The device is designed to accommodate the through-openings of existing pipe connectors in the wall, making it easy to connect additional pipes or fittings. The device is easy to use and offers a cost-effective solution for mounting fittings on walls.

Problems solved by technology

By way of example, when dowel holes are drilled a lot of dirt arises, care and accuracy are required, and existing structures such as tiles are irreversibly damaged.

A disadvantage, however, is seen in the fact that, when the fitting units are, for example, connected to pre-existing pipe connectors in a wall, the height of a fitting is predetermined.

This is associated with reduced convenience and efficiency.

The fitting units known from the state of the art, which are fastened to a wall using the existing pipe connectors, thus have the disadvantage of low flexibility as regards the arrangement of the fittings if the pipe connectors in the wall are at a predetermined position.

The provision of individual pass-through openings, on the one hand, has the disadvantage that the selection of the fastening position cannot take place steplessly or completely steplessly.
