Wc bowl and mounting base

Abstract

A WC bowl and a mounting base, the WC bowl comprising a frame portion ( 1 ) whose lower surface ( 2 ) is intended to be mounted on a mounting foundation, such as a floor. The WC bowl comprises one or more mounting bases ( 5 ) comprising a support surface ( 51 ), the support surface ( 51 ) of one or more mounting bases ( 5 ) being adjustable at a distance relative to the lower surface ( 2 ) of the WC bowl in such a manner that the mounting base supports the WC bowl when said lower surface is located on the mounting foundation.

1 . A WC bowl comprising a frame portion whose lower surface is intended to be mounted on a mounting foundation, such as a floor, wherein the WC bowl comprises one or more mounting bases arranged inside the frame portion of the WC bowl and comprising a support surface, the support surface of one or more mounting bases being adjustable at a distance relative to the lower surface of the WC bowl in such a manner that the mounting base supports the WC bowl when said lower surface is located on the mounting foundation. 
   
   
       2 . A WC bowl as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein one or more mounting bases comprise threads, the distance of the support surface of the mounting base relative to the lower surface of the WC bowl being adjustable via the threads of the mounting base. 
   
   
       3 . A WC bowl as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein one or more mounting bases are composed of a threaded plate component fastened to the WC bowl and a screw component, a head of the screw component being arranged to constitute the support surface of the mounting base. 
   
   
       4 . A WC bowl as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the mounting base is supported on a support plate that is located transverse relative to the lower surface of the WC bowl and supported on the lower surface of the WC bowl. 
   
   
       5 . A WC bowl as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein the support plate is supported between the lower surfaces of the WC bowl in such a manner that the ends of the support plate are located on top of the inner edges of the lower surface. 
   
   
       6 . A WC bowl as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein the support plate is bent inside the lower portion of the WC bowl to extend above a plane defined by the lower surface of the WC bowl when the WC bowl is in the position of use, the support surface of the mounting base being adjustable to extend below said plane defined by the lower surface for supporting the WC bowl. 
   
   
       7 . A mounting base for mounting a WC bowl on a mounting foundation, wherein the mounting base comprises adjustable projections fastened adjustably to a support plate that is adaptable inside a frame portion of the WC bowl to extend from one edge of the lower edge of the WC bowl to the other and to rest on the lower surface of the WC bowl, the adjustable projections of the mounting base comprising a support surface that is adapted to rest on the mounting foundation when the mounting base is mounted in the WC bowl and the distance of the support surfaces being adjustable relative to the support plate. 
   
   
       8 . A mounting base as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the support plate of the mounting base is bent in such a manner that the ends of the support plate are located at the lower edge of the WC bowl and a surface receiving the adjustable projections of the support plate is located inside the lower portion of the WC bowl when the mounting base is mounted in the WC bowl. 
   
   
       9 . A mounting base as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein the adjustable projections are composed of screw components and that the support plate comprises threaded holes for receiving said screw components. 
   
   
       10 . A mounting base as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein the support surface of the adjustable projection comprises a nut head. 
   
   
       11 . A WC bowl as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein one or more mounting bases are composed of a threaded plate component fastened to the WC bowl and a screw component, a head of the screw component being arranged to constitute the support surface of the mounting base. 
   
   
       12 . A WC bowl as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein the support plate is bent inside the lower portion of the WC bowl to extend above a plane defined by the lower surface ( 2 ) of the WC bowl when the WC bowl is in the position of use, the support surface of the mounting base being adjustable to extend below said plane defined by the lower surface for supporting the WC bowl.
