Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The invention relates to a mounting device for fastening at least one sanitary item according to the preamble of claim 1. BACKGROUND

[0002] Mounting devices for fastening sanitary items are known from the prior art. Mounting devices of this type are fixedly installed behind a front wall and serve to mount sanitary items such as, for example, water tanks, toilet bowls, urinals, fittings, washbasins, control elements, electrical elements, etc. Such a mounting device is disclosed, for example, in EP 2 662 502.

[0003] Another mounting device with a support element that supports a crosspiece is disclosed in EP 3 071 757.

[0004] Another mounting device is disclosed in EP 3 149 251, in which a support is connected to a hollow member that has a support effect on the support on the one hand and provides a contact surface for a sanitary unit fastened to the support on the other hand.

[0005] While the use of the mounting devices of the prior art during assembly in buildings can lead to very positive results, it is desirable from the manufacturer's point of view to simplify manufacture. Many of the known mounting devices are very complex in terms of manufacture. SUMMARY

[0006] Starting from this prior art, it is an object of the present invention to specify a mounting device for fastening at least one sanitary item, which overcomes the disadvantages of the prior art. In particular, it is an object of the present invention to provide a mounting device for fastening at least one sanitary item, which can be manufactured in a simpler and / or more efficient manner. This is in particular while maintaining a high level of stability of the mounting device.

[0007] This object is achieved by a mounting device for fastening at least one sanitary item as claimed in claim 1. The mounting device thus comprises two supports which extend spaced apart from one another and each along a central axis, and a crosspiece element with at least one fastening element, the crosspiece element being arranged between the supports and connecting the two supports. The crosspiece element is provided by a front support part with a support wall on which the sanitary item can be supported, and a rear support part with a rear wall. The front support part and / or the rear support part has at least one connecting lug which projects from the support wall and / or from the rear wall, so as to be inclined at an angle, in particular orthogonally. The two support parts can be fixedly connected to one another by means of the at least one connecting lug, so that in the connected state the support wall is spaced apart from the rear wall.

[0008] The advantage of the beam element is achieved in a very simple manner by providing the connecting lugs on both support parts. In particular, complex alignment work is dispensed with, since the two support parts can be positioned relative to one another by means of the connecting lugs and can then be connected to one another by means of the connecting lugs.

[0009] The term "fixedly connectable" is to be understood as a mechanically fixed connection. This type of connection can be established by material integrity and / or form fit and / or force fit connection. The connection is particularly preferably a welded connection.

[0010] Due to the spacing of the support wall from the rear wall, the beam element can be provided as a hollow component, whereby a high level of mechanical stability can be achieved.

[0011] The at least one fastening element can be configured in different ways. For example, as a threaded opening directly in the beam element, as an opening of the beam element, as a nut behind an opening of the beam element, or as a separate fastening piece behind an opening of the beam element. The threaded rod can preferably be connected to the at least one fastening element. This means that the at least one fastening element is, for example, a socket for the threaded rod. The fastening piece is preferably fixedly connected to the beam element and is preferably located behind the front web.

[0012] The at least one connecting lug of the front support part is preferably in planar contact with the at least one connecting lug of the rear support part. In the connected state, the connecting lugs of the front support part and the rear support part are in planar contact with one another.

[0013] Due to the planar contact between the two connecting lugs, the advantage of the precise positioning of the two support parts relative to one another is achieved. In addition, a support effect between the two support parts is achieved by the planar contact. Furthermore, the fixed connection can be placed in the area of the planar contact.

[0014] In one variant, the at least one connecting lug of one support part is preferably configured to be shorter than the at least one connecting lug of the other support part. At least one weld is provided on the front end of the shorter connecting lug and on the surface of the longer connecting lug. Since one connecting lug has a shorter configuration, space for welding is obtained. In particular, since the weld is located in the area of the surface of the longer connecting lug, the advantage is achieved that the weld is located in a position that is particularly suitable for welding.

[0015] In another variant, the at least one connecting lug of the one support part is preferably configured to have the same length as the at least one connecting lug of the other support part. At least one weld is provided on the front end of one connecting lug and on the surface of the other connecting lug. In the configuration with connecting lugs of the same length, the welded connection is likewise located on the surface of the other connecting lug.

[0016] The support wall, the rear wall, the connecting lugs and the support piece preferably define a hollow member with a cavity, wherein the weld is located outside the cavity.

[0017] This makes the manufacture of the welds highly realizable. In particular, the shorter connecting lugs are located outside the cavity in the connected state.

[0018] The at least one connecting lug of the front support part preferably abuts against the inner surface of the rear support part facing the front support part, thereby defining a spacing between the front support part and the rear support part. Alternatively or similarly, the at least one connecting lug of the rear support part abuts against the inner surface of the front support part facing the rear support part, thereby defining a spacing between the front support part and the rear support part.

[0019] As a result of the abutment of the connecting lugs against the respective inner surface, the advantage is achieved that no additional elements for defining the spacing between the two support parts need to be provided. In this respect, the manufacture or installation of the cross member element is highly simplified.

[0020] The front support part is preferably configured in one piece with the support wall and the at least one connecting lug. Likewise, the rear support part is configured in one piece with the rear wall and the connecting lug.

[0021] The two support parts are preferably made of sheet metal, wherein the connecting lugs are bent away from the support wall or the rear wall, respectively. Prior to the bending process, the sheet metal is cut to the desired shape and size by means of a blanking process or a punching process.

[0022] The cross member element preferably comprises a gap, which provides an empty intermediate space extending through the cross member element, through which the waste water pipe can pass, wherein the gap in the support parts is formed by cutouts in the support wall and the rear wall.

[0023] The gap preferably extends into the cross member element from below and is configured to open towards the bottom. The gap can have different shapes. The gap is particularly preferably rectangular. Other shapes are also conceivable, for example V-shaped or trapezoidal. The gap is particularly preferably straight-sided, so that the connecting lugs can be bent away from the support wall or the rear wall, respectively.

[0024] The connecting lugs preferably each extend along mutually opposite side edges with respect to the cutout, and the further connecting lug extends along a side edge extending from the cutout to the support.

[0025] The connecting lugs preferably each extend along the entire length of the respective side edge from which they protrude.

[0026] The reinforcing portion preferably adjoins the support wall and / or the rear wall on the upper side in the mounted position.

[0027] Thanks to the reinforcing portion, the advantage is obtained of being able to further improve the stability of the cross-member element.

[0028] The reinforcing portion provided on the support wall is preferably configured as a curved lug, which preferably has an optional interruption for the feed-through of a line. The reinforcing portion provided on the rear wall is preferably configured as a curved lug, which preferably extends completely between the cross-members.

[0029] The curved lug on the end side preferably has a reinforcing fin. The respective portion is thus mechanically reinforced in particular with respect to bending stresses.

[0030] The reinforcing portion of the support wall in the connected state is preferably spaced apart from the reinforcing portion of the rear wall, such that a mounting space for accommodating the fastening element is obtained between the reinforcing portions.

[0031] The support wall and the rear wall are preferably connected to the respective support by their side edges facing the support, wherein the connecting lugs extend along the free side edges not connected to the support.

[0032] The connecting lugs are preferably connected to one another by a welded connection. The cross-member element is preferably made of metal and is connected to the support in an essentially integral manner, in particular by a welded connection, and / or in each case in a form-fit or force-fit manner. Alternatively, the cross-member element is made of a plastic material and is connected to the support in a form-fit and / or force-fit manner.

[0033] The support portion with respect to the at least one fastening element preferably extends substantially towards the bottom in the mounted position.

[0034] The maximum extent of the cross-member element, when viewed along the longitudinal axis of the support, is preferably 150 mm to 500 mm, in particular 200 mm to 400 mm, with a range particularly preferably being 275 mm to 350 mm.

[0035] The front surface of the support preferably defines a front plane, and the rear surface of the support defines a rear plane, wherein the cross-member element is located between or coincides with these two planes.

[0036] At least one of the support members, in particular each of the support members, is preferably connected to a support foot by means of which the mounting device stands on the floor, wherein the support foot is preferably configured displaceable relative to the support member and lockable relative to the support member.

[0038] In a first step, two support parts and two support members are provided;

[0039] In a subsequent step, the two support parts are connected to each other and to the support members by means of the connecting lugs.

[0040] Preferably, all the welded connections are provided from the rear side or from the front side. Thereby, the advantage is obtained that the mounting device does not have to be turned during the manufacturing process.

[0051] Shown in the figure is an installation device 1 for fastening at least one sanitary item. The installation device 1 in the shown embodiment comprises two support members 2 which extend spaced apart from each other and each along a central axis M, and a cross member 3 with at least one fastening element 4, which is arranged between the support members 2 and connects the two support members 2. The sanitary item is fastened to the cross member 3 and is supported on the cross member 3.

[0052] In the shown embodiment, a plurality of fastening elements 4 are arranged next to each other. The sanitary item can be fastened to the installation device 1 by means of these fastening elements 4. In the installed position, the two support members 2 extend generally in a vertical direction V, i.e. in the direction of a plumb line. The two support members 2 are connected at the upper side to a cross beam 28.

[0053] Figure 1 and Figure 2 A front perspective view and a rear perspective view of the installation device are shown. The front view is shown as Figure 3 The cross member 3 in the shown embodiment has a gap 18, through which, for example, a waste water pipe can pass. In the shown example, the width of the gap 18 corresponds approximately to one third of the entire width of the cross member 3, viewed transversely with respect to the central axis M of the support members 2. The cross member 3, the front support part 5 and the rear support part 7 extend to the left and right of the gap 18, respectively. In other words, the gap 18 extends into the cross member 3 from the area below and opposite the at least one fastening element 4. Viewed in the installed position, this gap 18 extends into the cross member 3 from below and is configured to open towards the bottom.

[0054] Figure 4 An exploded view of the installation device 1 is shown. The cross member 3 shown here is the cross member 3 before it is actually installed and connected to the support members 2. The cross member 3 is provided by a front support part 5 with a support wall 6 and a rear support part 7 with a rear wall 8. Accordingly, the sanitary item can be supported on the support wall 6. In the shown embodiment, the at least one fastening element 4 is located above the support wall 6 when viewed in the installed position. This means that the at least one fastening element 4 (in the case of an assembled sanitary item) is stressed in tension, while the support wall 6 or the cross member 3, respectively, is stressed in compression.

[0055] The front support part 5 and the rear support part 7 in the embodiment shown have at least one connecting lug 9, 10. The connecting lugs 9, 10 here project perpendicularly from the support wall 6 or the rear wall 8, respectively. However, the angle can also have a different size. The two support parts 5, 7 are configured integrally. This means that the connecting lugs 9, 10 are arranged integrally on the support wall 6 or the rear wall 8, respectively.

[0056] The two support parts 5, 6 can be fixedly connected to one another by means of the at least one connecting lug 9, 10. The connection here is of the type that the support wall 6 and the rear wall 8 are spaced apart in the connected state. From Figure 3 Starting from the respective connection, the two support parts 5, 7 are moved relative to one another until the two support parts 5, 6 are positioned accordingly and can be connected by means of the at least one connecting lug 9, 10.

[0057] Figure 5 and Figure 6 An exploded view of the cross member element 2 without the support 2 is shown. The individual front support part 5 and the rear support part 7 are shown, respectively. Figure 7 A cross-sectional view along Figure 2 the section line VI is shown. Further features of the two support parts will now be explained by Figures 5 to 7 way of example.

[0058] In order to provide the above-mentioned gap 18, the front support part 5 has a cutout 19 in the support wall 6. The cutout 19 is formed by two mutually opposite side edges 20. One connecting lug 9 projects from the side edges 20, respectively, so as to be orthogonal to the support wall 6. One connecting lug 9 projecting orthogonally to the support wall 6 is arranged on a lower side edge 21, respectively, which extends from an end of the side edge 20 at the lower end of the front support part 5 to the support 2. In the installed position, the lower side edge 21 extends essentially in horizontal direction. The connecting lug 9 has a certain length as seen from the normal direction of the support wall 6. The length of the connecting lug 9 projecting from the side edge 20 here is greater than the length of the connecting lug 9 projecting from the side edge 21.

[0059] The front support part 4 comprises at least one fastening element 4 on the upper side. Furthermore, a reinforcing portion 22 is provided above the at least one fastening element 4, which extends along the upper side edge 26. The reinforcing portion 22 here extends at an angle obliquely with respect to the support wall 6 and, when viewed in the installed position, extends rearwardly from the fastening element 4. The angle of obliquity with respect to the support wall 6 is 90° to 145°. The reinforcing portion 22 in the embodiment shown also has an interruption 24, which is provided for the feed-through of a flush pipe or an electrical line or any other element. In the region of the fastening element 4 above the opening 19 and below the interruption 24, the front support part 5 in the embodiment shown has a lug portion 30, which projects into the cutout 19. The stability of the front support part 5 can be further increased by means of the lug portion 30.

[0060] In order to provide the above-mentioned gap 18, the rear support part 7 has a cutout 19 in the rear wall 8. The cutout 19 is formed by two mutually opposite side edges 20. One connecting lug 10 projects from the side edges 20 respectively, so as to be orthogonal to the support wall 6. One connecting lug 10, which projects orthogonally to the rear wall 6, is provided on the lower side edge 21 respectively, which extends from the end of the side edge 20 at the lower end of the support 7 to the support 2. In the installed position, the lower side edge 21 extends substantially in the horizontal direction. The connecting lug 10 has a length, which is seen from the normal direction of the support wall 6. The length of the connecting lug 10, which projects from the side edge 20 here, is equal to the length of the connecting lug 10, which projects from the side edge 21.

[0061] The rear support part 7 comprises a reinforcing portion 23 on the upper side. The reinforcing portion 23 here extends away from the upper side edge 26 so as to be inclined at an angle, preferably substantially orthogonally. The side edge 26 in the installed position extends from one support 2 to the other support 2. The reinforcing portion 23 serves to reinforce the rear support part 7 and also has an opening 29 for fixing a sanitary article or a line or other element.

[0062] The reinforcing portion 23 of the rear support part 7 is spaced apart from the reinforcing portion 22 of the front support part 5. As a result of this spacing, an installation space 25 is achieved.

[0063] For both support parts 5, 7, the connecting lugs 9, 10 extend substantially over the entire length of the side edges 20, 21 respectively.

[0064] In the connected state, the connecting lug 10 of the rear support part 7 abuts against the inner face 17 of the front support part 5, which faces the rear support part 7, so as to define a spacing between the front support part 5 and the rear support part 7.

[0065] In the embodiment shown, the connecting lug 9 of the front support part 5 in the region of the lower side edge 21 is configured to be shorter than the corresponding connecting lug 10 of the rear support part 7. This is evident from the fact that the connecting lug 10 of the rear support part 7 projects further into the cutout 19 than the connecting lug 9 of the front support part 5.Figure 7 As can be clearly seen, due to this shortened configuration, it is possible to form a weld, in particular a weld seam, on the front end 12 of the connecting lug 9 and on the surface 13 of the connecting lug 10. Figure 7 In the shown embodiment, the weld is identified by reference 11. The other connecting lugs 9, 10, which are located on the left and right of the cutout 19, are configured to have the same length on both support parts.

[0066] In the connected state, the support wall 6, the rear wall 8, the connecting lugs 9, 10 and the support 2 define a hollow member 14 having a cavity 15. In other words, the cross member 3 has a cavity 15. The weld 11 is preferably located outside the cavity 15.

[0067] The two support parts 5 and 6 are preferably made of sheet steel; in particular by means of a punching process and a shaping process after the punching process. The connecting lugs 9, 10 are manufactured by means of a bending method in the shaping process. The same applies to the optionally present reinforcing portions 22, 23. Once the two support parts 5, 6 are joined, they are connected to each other, typically by means of a welded connection. Furthermore, the cross member 3 provided by the front support part 5 and the rear support part 7 is subsequently connected to the support 2. In this process, the side edges 27 facing the support 2 are welded to the support 2 accordingly.

[0068] In the shown embodiment, the mounting device 1 further comprises two support feet 31, which are telescopically mounted in the support 2. The support feet 31 are displaceable and lockable at an adjusted height level with respect to the position of the support feet 31 relative to the support 2.

[0069] The support 2 in the shown embodiment is configured to have a hollow interface. The hollow cross section here is quadrangular, respectively square cross section.

[0070] The front surface 32 of the support 2 defines a front plane F and the rear surface 33 of the support 2 defines a rear plane R. The cross member 3 is here arranged such that it is located between the front plane F and the rear plane R. The outer support wall 6 and the rear wall 8 are preferably located in the front plane F or the rear plane R, respectively.

[0071] The welds mentioned herein can extend through the entire length of the respective edge, respectively, or through a partial length of the respective edge.
