DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
This invention relates generally to a high-versatility set for the wall-mounting of wall-mounted sanitary appliances such as wash basins, bidets, water closet pans and cisterns therefor.
More particularly, the invention relates to a set for wall-mounting complete wall-mounted sanitary appliances, the set being already fitted with the respective accessories such as the taps, the cold and hot water feeding pipes, the waste pipes and the connectors for the discharge of the sanitary appliances.
The well known problem which arises when furnishing a bathroom with such wall-mounted sanitary appliances is to fix these latter on the finished walls, i.e. to which the wall covering has already been applied, and then to fit the sanitary appliances with their taps and other accessories.
A further problem is involved in fixing complete sanitary appliances to the wall with just a few simple operations in a relatively short time, and in a reliable and correct manner.
A further problem arises when associating with such sanitary appliances various complementary devices such as towel holders, paper holders, and shelves and compartments for storing objects, while masking the wall connections and water pipes, and optimizing the space and/or the distribution of said sanitary appliances, relative accessories, and complementary devices.
The FR-P-1586181 discloses a frame for fixing to a wall a wall-mounted wash-basin. Said frame has upper rests for supporting vertically the wash-basin, and on the front of the central seat there is an hole for blocking the water feed pipes. Furthermore, the frame also comprises a lower hole for the passage of the waste pipe of the wash-basin.
Said water feed and waste pipes are not masked, no means is provided for supporting the accessories of the wash-basin, nor the complementary devices, such as towel-holders and shelves and compartments for storing objects.
The know art, while facilitating the fixing of a sanitary appliance to a wall, presents some drawbacks, consisting of the necessity to fit, the appliance with its accessories such as the taps and of the necessity to mount the water pipes and accessories within the wall.
The general inventive idea to overcome the drawbacks above is to have a set defined in the accompanying claim 1, where the water pipes and accessories do not have to be mounted within the wall or on the appliance.
The set comprises a combination of a flat profiled support and a channel shaped sectional box structure of elongated form, which are intended to be fixed to the wall one under the other, the purpose of the former being to support both the wall-mounted sanitary appliances and its accessories, and the purpose of the latter being to mask a part of said accessories and to provide the fixing seats for complementary devices.
Specifically, said flat profiled support comprises two lateral elements arranged to be fixed to the wall, and with which there are associated two orthogonal fixing/support rods for the sanitary appliance, and a central channel-shaped body, the purpose of which is to receive the water feed and waste pipes to and from the sanitary appliance.
Suitable passage apertures should be provided in the base wall of said central channel-shaped body for said feed and waste pipes.
In addition said central channel-shaped body is arranged to support, for instance by means of a support member in the form of a bracket, accessories such as taps, mixer blocks, flushing cisterns or the like required for the operation and service of the sanitary appliance.
Said sectional box structure comprises a main profiled element to be fixed to the wall, a second multipurpose element to be fitted to the preceding to mask it, and an internal complementary element associated with it. Said second element may be composed of a series of different modules for masking some accessories for the underlying sanitary appliances, and for supporting complementary devices.
The characteristics and constructional merits of the invention will be apparent from the detailed description given hereinafter
