Abstract

Described herein is an installation arrangement for a toilet system. The toilet system includes a toilet bowl defining a mounting region on a rear side thereof. The installation arrangement includes first and second toilet installation units. Each of the first and second toilet installation units includes a first and second mounting pin, a first and second flange nut, and a first and second mounting bracket. Each of the first and second mounting brackets are adapted to mount and support the toilet bowl thereon. The first and second mounting brackets are mounted on the first and second mounting pins, to be fixed thereon, by the first and second flange nuts respectively.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An installation arrangement for a toilet system, wherein the toilet system includes a toilet bowl defining first and second mounting cavities on a rear side thereof, the installation arrangement comprises:
 a first and a second toilet installation unit, wherein each of the first and second toilet installation units are adapted to enable mounting of the toilet bowl on a wall, each of the first and second toilet installation units including:
 a mounting pin adapted to be mounted on the wall; 
 a mounting bracket adapted to carry weight of the toilet bowl thereon; and 
 a mounting flange nut adapted to lock the mounting bracket mounted on the mounting pin. 
   
     
     
         2 . The installation arrangement according to  claim 1 , wherein the mounting brackets each define a through-hole for receiving the mounting pin therethrough and a slanted protruded surface adapted to lock and support the toilet bowl thereon, and wherein the mounting brackets are each mounted on the respective mounting pin, to be fixed thereon, by the mounting flange nut. 
     
     
         3 . The installation arrangement according to  claim 2 , wherein the slanted protruded surface of the mounting bracket enables locking of the toilet bowl to the wall. 
     
     
         4 . The installation arrangement according to  claim 1 , wherein the mounting brackets are each a single part structure adapted to be received within the first and second mounting cavities defined by the toilet bowl. 
     
     
         5 . The installation arrangement according to  claim 1 , wherein the mounting brackets each define a continuous flat surface adapted to hold the weight of the toilet bowl thereon by the continuous flat surface. 
     
     
         6 . The installation arrangement according to  claim 1 , wherein the mounting brackets each define a wall mounting surface on a rear side thereof, the wall mounting surface adapted to come into contact with the wall when mounted thereon. 
     
     
         7 . The installation arrangement according to  claim 1 , wherein the mounting brackets each define a flange nut interfacing surface on a front side therefore, the flange nut interfacing surface adapted to come into contact with the respective flange nut. 
     
     
         8 . The installation arrangement according to  claim 1 , wherein each of the mounting brackets are made of polyoxymethylene (POM), 30% glass fiber reinforced polyamide 66 (PA66-GF30), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), polycarbonates (PC), or any combination thereof. 
     
     
         9 . The installation arrangement according to  claim 1 , wherein the wall is a wall of a toilet cabinet. 
     
     
         10 . A method of installing a toilet bowl with at least one toilet installation unit, the method comprising:
 forming mounting holes adapted to receive a first and second mounting pins respectively;   mounting the first and second mounting pins in their respective mounting holes;   mounting the first and second mounting brackets on first and second mounting pins; and   locking the first and second mounting brackets on the first and second mounting pins by first and second flange nuts.   
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 10 , further comprising:
 positioning the toilet bowl proximal to the toilet installation unit mounted on a wall such that a mounting region of the toilet bowl faces towards the wall;   inclining the toilet bowl upwards with reference to a floor adjacent to the wall;   positioning the toilet bowl on the wall, at the said inclination, such the first and second mounting cavities at least partially receive the at least one installation unit; and   lowering the toilet bowl to completely come into contact with the wall.   
     
     
         12 . A toilet system comprising:
 a toilet bowl defining first and second mounting cavities on a rear side thereof; and   a first and a second toilet installation unit, wherein each of the first and second toilet installation units are adapted to enable mounting of the toilet bowl on a wall, each of the first and second toilet installation units including:
 a mounting pin adapted to be mounted on the wall; 
 a mounting bracket adapted to carry weight of the toilet bowl thereon; and 
 a mounting flange nut adapted to lock the mounting bracket mounted on the mounting pin. 
   
     
     
         13 . The toilet system according to  claim 12 , wherein the mounting brackets each define a through-hole for receiving the mounting pin therethrough and a slanted protruded surface adapted to lock and support the toilet bowl thereon, and wherein the mounting brackets are each mounted on the respective mounting pin, to be fixed thereon, by the mounting flange nut. 
     
     
         14 . The toilet system according to  claim 13 , wherein the slanted protruded surface of the mounting bracket enables locking of the toilet bowl to the wall. 
     
     
         15 . The toilet system according to  claim 12 , wherein the mounting brackets are each a single part structure adapted to be received within the first and second mounting cavities defined by the toilet bowl. 
     
     
         16 . The toilet system according to  claim 12 , wherein the mounting brackets each define a continuous flat surface adapted to hold the weight of the toilet bowl thereon by the continuous flat surface. 
     
     
         17 . The toilet system according to  claim 12 , wherein the mounting brackets each define a wall mounting surface on a rear side thereof, the wall mounting surface adapted to come into contact with the wall when mounted thereon. 
     
     
         18 . The toilet system according to  claim 12 , wherein the mounting brackets each define a flange nut interfacing surface on a front side therefore, the flange nut interfacing surface adapted to come into contact with the respective flange nut. 
     
     
         19 . The toilet system according to  claim 12 , wherein each of the mounting brackets are made of polyoxymethylene (POM), 30% glass fiber reinforced polyamide 66 (PA66-GF30), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), polycarbonates (PC), or any combination thereof.
