[0003] Toilet systems are known in sanitation industry, to enable persons to defecate in good sanitary conditions. Toilet systems may be one of a wall-hung toilet system, a floor-mounted toilet system, and the like. A typical wall-hung toilet system [100] (hereinafter interchangeably referred to as ‘toilet system [100]’) includes a toilet bowl [104] and an installation arrangement [102], wherein the installation arrangement [102] is required to hang/install the toilet bowl [104] on a wall of a toilet cabinet.
[0004] Figure 1a is a sectional side view of a conventional toilet system [100]. Figure 1b is a perspective view of a conventional mounting bracket [108] of the installation arrangement [102], employed for installation (hanging) of the toilet bowl [104] on the wall of the toilet cabinet. Figures 1a and 1b are to be viewed in conjunction with each other in order to completely understand a structure and arrangement of the conventional toilet system [100]. The toilet bowl [104] is a conventionally known bowl-shaped structure, and is provided to receive faecal matter, when a user performs defecation thereon. The toilet bowl [104] is adapted to be mounted on the wall. The toilet bowl [104] defines a first and a second mounting cavities [112, 114] on a rear side thereof, for enabling mounting of the toilet bowl [104] on the wall. The first and second mounting cavities [112, not shown] defined by the toilet bowl [104] are substantially rectangular in shape.
[0005] Conventionally, the installation arrangement [102] includes a first toilet installation unit and a second toilet installation unit, in combination, are adapted to install/hang the toilet bowl [104] on a wall of a toilet cabinet. Particularly, the first toilet installation unit and the second toilet installation unit engage with the first mounting cavity [112] and the second mounting cavity [114] of the toilet bowl [104], respectively, for installation/hanging of the toilet bowl [104] on the wall of the toilet cabinet. Each of the first and second toilet installation units have a similar structure and arrangement thereof. In view of the above, a structure and arrangement the toilet installation unit engaging with the mounting cavity will be explained hereinafter in detail.
[0006] The first toilet installation unit comprises a first mounting bracket [108] and a first mounting pin [106]. The second toilet installation unit comprises a second mounting bracket [108] and a second mounting pin [not shown]. During installation, the first mounting pin [106] and the second mounting pin are screwed on the wall. The first mounting bracket [108] is received within the first mounting cavity [112] defined by the toilet bowl [104], to be locked therein. Similarly, the second mounting bracket [108] is received within the second mounting cavity [112] defined by the toilet bowl [104]. Thereafter, the toilet bowl along with the first and the second mounting brackets [108] is positioned and installed over the first mounting pin [106] and the second mounting pin on the wall, such that the first and the second mounting bracket [108] interlocks with its respective first mounting pin [106] and the second mounting pin.
[0007] Additionally, each of the mounting brackets [108] comprise an allen bolt feature [110], for fixedly locking the first and the second mounting brackets [108] to their respective first mounting pin [106] and second mounting pin, during assembly of the toilet system [100]. The allen bolt [110] of the mounting bracket [108] is tightened by means of an allen key, for locking the first mounting pin [106] therein. Additionally, for such installation, the toilet bowl [104] has one or more pockets therein proximal to the first and second mounting cavities [112, not shown] to allow the allen key to be passed therethrough, and access the allen bolt of the mounting bracket [108]. However, such pockets in the toilet bowl reduces overall structural strength of the toilet bowl, and reduces manufacturing productivity and yield thereof. Moreover, while installation of the existing toilet system [100], locating the allen bolt [110] of the existing mounting bracket [108] from pockets (provided in form of a top hole or bottom hole) defined on the toilet bowl [104], with the allen key, requires a person skilled in such installation. This may result in inaccurate installation of the toilet bowl [104] on the wall of the toilet cabinet. It may further be noted that such installation is carried out by means of trial and error. Thus, the installation of the existing toilet system [100] is a time consuming and cumbersome process, and strictly requires a person skilled in such installation.
[0008] Accordingly, in light of the aforementioned drawbacks and several other inherent in the existing arts, there is a well felt need to provide an installation arrangement for a toilet system that provides for a quick and easy installation of the toilet system on the wall of the toilet cabinet.
