ABSTRACT:
TECHNICAL FIELD
This invention relates to water closet pans having arm rests for aiding the user, in particular for persons of defective musculature, ie persons with a muscular system which is not completely efficient, such as elderly persons and paraplegics.
BACKGROUND ART
Specifically, the invention concerns the technical problem of fixing and supporting the arm rests on the pan which, being typically of ceramic material, itself presents technical problems with regard to the arm rest fixings and with regard to the stresses to which it is subjected by the weight of the user. The said technical problem is solved by the invention, as characterised in the claims.
DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION
The invention comprises a retention means, arranged to be positioned in a completely hidden manner within the rear part of the pan, and to be rigidly fixed to the floor or wall in such a manner as to be supported thereby. The pan is arranged to be fixed to the floor or wall without loading the retention means and vice versa, and has a pair of holes provided in the vertical side walls of its rear part, through which holes the end of the arm rests is fixed to the retention means without loading the pan. A pair of pins of transverse horizontal axis are fixed to the lateral walls of the retention means, and emerge from the pan through said holes provided in the vertical side walls of the rear part of the pan. Close to one of its ends, each arm rest possesses a bush arranged to rotatably engage with a respective said pin.
