Abstract

A sanitary stand fitting for fixing in a receiving hole of a fitting support, such as that of a sanitary appliance such as a wash-stand or sink or the like, or other support plate with a fixing anchor movably supported on the fitting body, which anchor, when the fitting body is assembled, can be brought into a position flush with the receiving hole of the fitting support, and can be guided through the receiving hole and automatically assumes a locked position after passing through the receiving hole, and with a clamping device by means of which the fitting body and the fixing anchor, in its locked position, are clamped against each other, characterised in that the fixing anchor ( 12 ) is retained on the fitting body ( 10 ) by means of an elongated flexible spring ( 11 ) having a greater length than the material thickness of the fitting support ( 16 ), and in that a threaded rod ( 14 ), as a clamping device, can be passed through a hole ( 13 ) formed in the fitting body ( 10 ) and can be screwed into a threaded hole formed on the fixing anchor with a thread formed at its end.

Claims (8)

1 . A sanitary stand fitting for fixing in a receiving hole ( 17 ) of a fitting support ( 16 ), such as that of a sanitary appliance such as a wash-stand or sink or the like, or other support plate with a fixing anchor movably supported on the fitting body, which anchor, when the fitting body is assembled, can be brought into a position flush with the receiving hole of the fitting support, and can be guided through the receiving hole and automatically assumes a locked position after passing through the receiving hole, and with a clamping device by means of which the fitting body and the fixing anchor, in its locked position, are clamped against each other, characterised in that the fixing anchor ( 12 ) is retained on the fitting body ( 10 ) by means of an elongated flexible spring ( 11 ) having a greater length than the material thickness of the fitting support ( 16 ), and in that a threaded rod ( 14 ), as a clamping device, can be passed through a hole ( 13 ) formed in the fitting body ( 10 ) and can be screwed into a threaded hole formed on the fixing anchor with a thread formed at its end.

2 . The stand fitting according to claim 1 , characterised in that the spring ( 11 ) is designed as a helical spring.

3 . The stand fitting according to claim 1 , characterised in that the threaded rod ( 14 ) runs in the interior of the spring ( 1 ) enclosed by spring coils.

4 . The stand fitting according to claim 1 , characterised in that the threaded rod ( 14 ) is supported with a shoulder ( 15 ) on the fitting body ( 10 ).

5 . The stand fitting according to claim 4 , characterised in that the hole ( 13 ) has a recess for receiving the shoulder ( 15 ) of the threaded rod ( 14 ).

6 . The stand fitting according to claim 1 , characterised in that the hole ( 13 ) has a female thread and the threaded rod ( 14 ) can be screwed into the fitting body ( 10 ) with an associated thread.

7 . The stand fitting according to claim 1 , characterised in that the fixing anchor ( 12 ) comprises a round basic body with a U-shaped section ( 19 ), forming two outer side legs ( 20 ), for receiving small water connection pipes to be connected to the stand fitting.

8 . The stand fitting according to claim 7 , characterised in that the basic body of the fixing anchor ( 12 ) has a larger diameter than the diameter of the receiving hole ( 17 ), and is provided on the side facing away from the section ( 19 ) with a flattened section ( 21 ) running in the manner of a chord, so that the fixing anchor ( 12 ) fits into the receiving hole ( 17 ) in the position bent in the longitudinal direction of the receiving hole ( 17 ).
