The main body includes two seat portions and two connection parts. The seat portion includes a connecting portion, an abutting portion, and a threaded hole. The connecting portion is fastened on the first bolt. The abutting portion is abutting against a floor around the toilet flange. A part of the seat portion is inserted through a mounting slot of a bottom wall of the toilet and the threaded holes are tilted with respect to operation holes on two vertical walls of the toilet. The second bolts are inserted through the operation holes and fastened with the threaded holes so that the toilet is secured on the floor around the toilet flange. The installation of the toilet is easy, fast and secure.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A mounting member for securing a one-piece toilet around a toilet flange comprising two first bolts, a main body, and two second bolts; the one-piece toilet having an operation hole mounted to a vertical wall on each of two sides of the toilet, a bottom wall disposed on a bottom of the toilet, and a mounting slot penetrating each of two sides of the bottom wall; the toilet flange fixed on a floor of a building;
 wherein the two first bolts are mounted and limited in two grooves of the toilet flange correspondingly;   wherein the main body includes two seat portions and two connection parts connected between the seat portions; each of the seat portions is provided with a connecting portion, an abutting portion, and a threaded hole; the connecting portion is for allowing the first bolt to insert through and fasten with; the abutting portion is abutting against an upper surface of the floor around the toilet flange; at least a part of the seat portion is moved upward to insert through the corresponding mounting slot of the toilet so that the threaded hole is tilted with respect to the operation hole; wherein the second bolts are inserted through the operation holes of the toilet and fastened with the threaded holes by thread engagement correspondingly so that the toilet is pressed and secured on the upper surface of the floor around the toilet flange.   
     
     
         2 . The mounting member for the one-piece toilet as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the connecting portion of the seat portion is provided with a through hole; the first bolt includes a bolt head and a bolt shaft connected to the bolt head; the bolt head is slid to be locked and limited in the groove of the toilet flange and the bolt shaft is moved upward to insert through the through hole of the connecting portion and engage with a nut by threads for being fastened on the connecting portion. 
     
     
         3 . The mounting member for the one-piece toilet as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the seat portion is further provided with a locking slot; a nut is mounted and positioned in the locking slot with its rotation limited to form the threaded hole. 
     
     
         4 . The mounting member for the one-piece toilet as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the mounting member further includes two guiding sleeves each of which is provided with a positioning head, a guidance portion extending obliquely from the positioning head, a head positioning slot recessed to the inside of the positioning head, and a guiding hole formed inside the guidance portion and communicating with the head positioning slot; the guidance portion is inserted through the corresponding operation hole from an outer side into an inner side of the vertical wall of the toilet and the positioning head is mounted and positioned in the corresponding operation hole; the second bolt is provided with a bolt head and a bolt shaft connected to the bolt head; the bolt shaft is inserted through the head positioning slot and the guiding hole in turn and aligned and threaded to the threaded hole of the seat portion under guidance of the guiding hole; the bolt head is stopped and limited in the head positioning slot. 
     
     
         5 . The mounting member for the one-piece toilet as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein the positioning head of the guiding sleeve includes an insertion and mounting portion and a stopping edge extending from a side of an outer end of the insertion and mounting portion; the insertion and mounting portion is mounted and positioned in the operation hole while the stopping edge is stopped and limited by an outer wall surface of the vertical wall around the operation hole. 
     
     
         6 . The mounting member for the one-piece toilet as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein an inner conical wall is disposed on the head positioning slot of the guiding sleeve and an outer conical wall is formed on the bolt head of the second bolt for abutting against the inner conical wall. 
     
     
         7 . The mounting member for the one-piece toilet as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein an outer surface of the seat portion with respect to the guiding sleeve is provided with a tapered guide trough arranged concavely; the guide trough is communicating with the threaded hole and used for guiding a rear end of the bolt shaft of the second bolt to slide to the threaded hole and fasten with the threaded hole by thread engagement. 
     
     
         8 . The mounting member for the one-piece toilet as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein a diameter of the guiding hole is gradually increased from one end of the guiding hole connected to the head positioning slot toward a distal end of the guiding hole for allowing the bolt shaft of the second bolt to be swung and moved a little bit after being inserted through the guiding hole. 
     
     
         9 . The mounting member for the one-piece toilet as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein a guiding wall surface tapered upward gradually is formed on an upper part of each of two opposite sides of the seat portion for allowing the corresponding mounting slot on the bottom wall of the toilet to be mounted around the seat portion. 
     
     
         10 . The mounting member for the one-piece toilet as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the connection parts of the main body are integrally connected to two opposite sides of the respective seat portions at positions close to the bottom of the seat portion and located at a periphery of the toilet flange. 
     
     
         11 . The mounting member for the one-piece toilet as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein the mounting member further includes two covers each of which is mounted outside the positioning head of the guiding sleeve for sealing the head positioning slot of the positioning head.
