A mounting device for attaching sanitary fixtures is the subject of a patent application (Publication Number: US20240035266A1). The device comprises two supports running parallel to each other, each with a support cross-section, a first cross-member securely connecting the supports, and a second cross-member arranged above the first cross-member. The cross-section of at least one of the cross-members is designed to be substantially identical to the support cross-section, ensuring a secure connection between the components.

The patent application also includes a method for manufacturing the mounting device, involving metal-forming and welding procedures. Prior to metal-forming, a metal sheet is provided in the dimensions of the profile development around the central axis for each support and cross-member. Additionally, the metal sheet is subjected to a punching procedure to create openings before the metal-forming process begins. This method ensures the precise fabrication of the supports and cross-members with identical cross-sections, enhancing the structural integrity of the mounting device for attaching sanitary fixtures.
