For the purpose of attaching the frame (1) to the tank (6), the tank (6) has on the outer side niches (18) which are widened inwardly. Opposite each of the niches (18) the frame (1) has an opening (4). Connecting members (9) are each snapped into an opening (4) and engage at an inner end into a niche (18). Wedges or pins (10) driven into a recess (13) fix a tenon (17) engaging the niche (18) from behind. Simple and automatable operations suffice for the installation.

Tank, in particular a flush tank, with a mounting element attached

The mounting frame has for attachment of sanitary fixtures two attachment plates (7) provided with holes (9) arranged in a predetermined pattern. Base nuts (11) with threaded bolts (10) are inserted detachably into the holes (9). To attach a sanitary fixture to the threaded bolts (10), a suitable pair of holes is chosen. A vertically adjustable flush pipe (2) can be fixed in position at the desired height by stop cams (5), which are also arranged in a predetermined one-dimensional pattern. A vertically adjustable discharge elbow (12) is also mounted on the frame (20).

Mounting frame for the pre-wall installation of a sanitary fixture

Device for attaching a mounting frame to a building wall. The frame has openings in its side walls into which holders (2) made of plastic stops are inserted. The holders (2) have a receiving part (2a) with two openings extending at right angles to one another and into which a connecting piece (10, 6) and a bolt (3) are slid. The connecting piece (10, 6) includes a shaft with corrugations which engage matching corrugations on the bolt (3). The connecting pieces (10, 6) can be detachably attached to a holder (2) in any insert depth without the use of tools. The device serves in particular to fasten a mounting frame during installation of a temporary wall.

Device for fastening a mounting frame for hygienic apparatus

Device for connecting two parallel mounting channels (4,5) to one another during the installation of a temporary wall. An anchoring member (6,7) is inserted into each channel (4,5). Connecting pieces (1,2) have on one front end flexible stop lugs (1c), which interact with corresponding stop surface in the anchoring member (6,7). The two connecting pieces (1,2) are held together by a clamp (3) that is slid on. The device can be made largely of plastic and can be assembled quickly and reliably without tools.
