Fastening system for sanitary articles with adjustable stop portions
The patent US12029357B2 describes a fastening system designed for securing sanitary articles, such as toilet bowls or wash basins. The system features a carrier element equipped with at least one fastening receptacle that connects to a fixed fastening means. It includes an upper stop portion and a lower stop portion, both of which interact with corresponding stops on the sanitary article. The design allows for the upper stop portion to be positioned above the lower stop portion, with at least one of these stop portions being displaceable. This displacement is facilitated by a clamping element, enabling the stop portions to be braced between the stops of the sanitary article upon actuation.
Further details of the fastening system include the configuration of the stop portions, which may feature stop receptacles designed to create a form fit with the sanitary article. The stop receptacles can be shaped in a dovetail form and may include inclined surfaces to enhance stability. The system allows for both fixed and displaceable stop portions, with the potential for mechanical connections such as latching or snap-fit connections. Additionally, the arrangement may incorporate a receiving space within the sanitary article for the fastening system, ensuring accessibility for tool operation. Overall, the patent outlines a comprehensive fastening solution that enhances the installation and stability of sanitary fixtures.
