5 Subiect of the Invention
The subject of the present invention is related to a system that provides the easy mounting
of the sanitaryware products on the wall and to a method related to the realization of the
mounting of the sanitaryware products by using this system. I
Present Stote of the Art I
10 In the major;ty of available sanitatyware products, mounting on the wall surface is made
through the hollow surfaces positioned at the sides of the product. This leads to the
formation of a non-aesthetic appearance of the sanitaryware products. Whereas with the
so-called hidden-mounting methods in which instead of uslng the assembly holes at the
sides of the product, mounting on the wall is realized from the bottom of the product,
15 without drilling any holes, certain time. consuming and labor-Increasing problems such as
the difficulty of the assembly process due to the short distance between the lower piece of
the product and the floor and the difficulty to see the location of mounting, are confronted.
By using the systems developed in the present state of art, it is possible to mount the
20 sanitaryware producVs, pieceicularly the toilet closets from the holes present at their upper
surfaces. The utility model, Reg. no. 2009 04485 pertains to a mounting apparatus
developed to mount the wall hung WC pan on the wall surface and it is not possible to
realize the mounting of' all types of sanitaryyare product by using the mentioned system.
Fig. 14 shows the modifications that need to be made on the product in order to make it
25 possible to realize the mountlng by using the mentioned system. The mounting of the
products with a long z distance (mounting distance between the holes existing at the top
surface of the product and on the wall surface) as shown in the figure, cannot be realized by
the subject system and in these products, i.e. those with a long mounting distance (z
distance) the surface of the product will have to be extended up to a point referred to as the
"Y" distance, as shown in Fig. 14 with arrows. This will require a modification on the
products.
in the patent no. EP 1338711, a mounting system is mentioned. This system is similar to that
s described in the utility model no. 2009 04485 wherein the main difference between these
two systems IS that while a fastening piece is used on the piece defined as the body in the
utility model no. ZOO9 04485, this body forms a monolithic structure together with the
dowel in the patent no. EP 1338711. Again, it is not possible to realize the mounting of the
sanitbryware products by using the system mentioned in the patent no. EP 1338711. Only
lo those products with an appropriate z distance can be installed by using this system. The
1 ' I
mounting systems mentioned in aforementioned applications can be used only if certain
rnodikcations are made on the products to be installed or the products have to be designed
in accordance with these mentioned systems.
15 in the patent no. EP2199473 the system mentioned in EP 1338711 is used and the same
disadvantages are valid for this mounting system too. In ail systems mentioned above, in
cases when the distance between the hole on the upper surface of the sanitaryware
product and the wall is long, the mounting process cannot be realized. As shown in Fig. 14,
the distance "Y" has to be designed so that it allows the use of these systems.

p Brief Ex~/unationo ft he invention
The subject of the present invention is related to a system that provides the easy mounting
of the sanitaryware products on the wall and to a method related to the realization of the
mounting of the sanitgryware products by using this system.
25 In the system of the present invention, the sanitaryware product is fixed to the wall by
tightening the screw on the clamping piece using an ailen key that is attached through the
mounting holes. In the system of the present invention, differently from the systems used in
the present state of art, extension pieces are used and in cases when the distance of the
mounting hole (z distance) on the upper surface of the sanitaryware product is different, by
30 attaching extension pieces to the clamping piece, the mounting of the sanitaryware products
of different sizes can be realized without making any modifications on the product.

Descri~tiono f the Invention
The subject of the present invention is related to a system that provides the easy mounting
of the sanltawware products on the wall and to a method related to the realization of the
mounting of the sanitavware products by using this system.
The system of the invention consists of a clamping piece (I), extension pieces (2), rear
connecting piece (3)' stud bolt (4) allen key (S), key piece (6), allen screw (7) and washer (8)
pieces. Although modification of the product is required when mounting systems of the
present state of art are used, in kase of using the system of the present invention, t,he
mounting process can be realized without making any changes on the product.
! I
For the implementation of the bounting system developed within the scope of the
invention, first the key pieces (6a. 6b) are combined on the allen key (5). These pieces allow
the alien key with its surface area expanded, to be handled more easily and to realize the
tightening operation in an easier way. A number of extension pieces (2) according to the
distance between the holes (11) on the upper surface of the sanitaryware product to be
installed on the wall and mounting point on the wall (z distance) are attached to the
clamping piece (1) (Fig. 4) and the clamping (1) and extension (2) pieces are aligned to the
sanitaryware product through the inner side of the hole (13) for realizing the mounting (Fig.
5). The rear connecting piece (3) is aligned to the wall from the back surface of the mounting
hole (13) and with the help of the key piece (6) on the allen key ( 5 ) it (3) is turned 90'
clockwise in order to be fixed to the extension pieces (2). (Fig. 6). By means of the hole (11)
on the upper surface of the sanitaryware product (14) one ran control whether the allen key
(5) aligns the allen screw (7) or not and provide the alignment. The stud bolt/plece (4) is
fixed to the stud protruding from the wall in such a manner that the conical cavity (12) on it
(4) will be positioned at the top (Fig. 7). The sanitaryware product (14) is installed on the
stud bolt (4) through the mounting holes (13) on its back surface. The allen key (5) tightens
the allen screw (7) through the holes (11) on the sanitawware product and so the product is
fixed to the wall surface (Fig. 8). In this manner the mounting process of the product is
completed. The use of the system according to the present invention allows the mounting of
all products, even if the mounting holes (11) on the product have mounting distances ("z"
d~stanceso) f different lengths. By add~nga number of extension pieces (2) according to the
"z" distance of the product to the mounting system, the mounting of varlous sanitaryware
5
products can be realized without making any modifications on the product. In this case, the
requirement for a modification of design or any amendment* in the product a~cordingto the
present state of art is eliminated. Since the said extension pieces also serve as guides, the
mounting process onto the stud bolt protruding from the wall surface is realized easily.
5 in the system of the present invention, in case of the stripping of teeth during the screwing
process of the pieces, there is also a locking system. With this locking system, the protrusion
sections (9) of the attached rear connecting piece (3) and the extension pieces (2) engage
into the slots (10) present on the piece that they have been attached to, and thus the locking
I ,I (
process is completed. In this case, the locking operation is realized both in the extension
10 pieces attached to each [other and in the rear connecting piece attached tp the said
extension pieces (2). 1
In the system of the present invention, the mounting of different products can be realized by
the use of a desired quantity of extension pieces, without making any modifications on the
product. The system according to the invention can be used not only for the mounting of the
15 products with mounting holes present at their upper section but also for the mounting of
the products with mounting holes at different points of the products. Also the mounting of
the products with mounting holes at their lower and side sections can be realized by using
the system according to the invention. Mounting from the bottom and from the side
performed by using the system of the invention is shown in Figures 9, 10, 11 and 12. Thus,
20 the presence of the mounting holes at the mounting area of the sanitaryware products and
positions of the allen screw and the alien key facing the side and down, are sufficient for the
realization of the mounting.
Although the application comprises the drawings related to the mounting of the closets, the
25 system can be used for the mounting of all types of sanitaryware products as long as there
are mounting holes on the surface where the mounting will be realized. By using the
mounting system developed within the scope of the invention, the mounting of many
sanitaryware products such as WC pans, wash basins, bidets, and urinals on the wall surface
can be realized. Sanltaryware products mentioned in this patent are ceramic however the
30 mentioned sanitaryware products can also be made of a polymer-based material or made of
any other suitable material within the scope of the present invention.
