Abstract

A mounting device for a sanitary basin, preferably a sink, a washbasin or the like, for insertion into a holding device along an installation direction, is provided comprising at least one adjusting device with at least one adjusting element, wherein the at least one adjusting device interacts with a first connecting section of the sanitary basin and with a second connecting section of the holding device by means of the at least one adjusting element in such a way that a relative position of at least one part of the sanitary basin, in particular of a side wall of the sanitary basin, and of the holding device can be adjusted relative to one another in an adjusting direction transverse to the installation direction, wherein a compressive force and/or a tensile force can be applied to the sanitary basin in the adjustment direction by means of the at least one adjusting device.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified

         2 . The mounting device according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the first connecting section has a pressure contact surface, preferably facing away from an interior of the sanitary basin, for transmitting the pressure force and/or a tension contact surface, preferably facing an interior of the sanitary basin, for transmitting the tension force, which interacts with the at least one adjusting element. 
     
     
         3 . The mounting device according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the holding device has a base frame running around the sanitary basin in the installed state, wherein the second connecting section is assigned to the base frame, preferably wherein the base frame can be arranged below a worktop. 
     
     
         4 . The mounting device according to  claim 3 , characterized in that the base frame is at least partially made of wood and/or plastic and/or metal. 
     
     
         5 . The mounting device ( 6 ) according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the at least one adjusting element is preferably detachably connectable to the first connecting section and/or the second connecting section. 
     
     
         6 . The mounting device according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the at least one adjusting element comprises an external thread, preferably wherein the at least one adjusting element is designed as a cap screw, threaded bolt, or grub screw. 
     
     
         7 . The mounting device according to  claim 6 , characterized in that the first and/or the second connecting section have at least one fastening element, wherein the at least one fastening element comprising an internal thread corresponding to the external thread and having an extension parallel to the adjustment direction and/or to the installation direction. 
     
     
         8 . The mounting device according to  claim 7 , characterized in that the at least one fastening element comprises a cylindrical section having the internal thread, preferably wherein the cylindrical section can be arranged in a recess of the first or second connecting section, preferably wherein the at least one fastening element is designed as a drive-in nut. 
     
     
         9 . The mounting device according to  claim 7 , characterized in that the at least one fastening element has a disc-shaped collar section, which can preferably be fixed to the first or second connecting section by means of a screw and/or adhesive connection. 
     
     
         10 . The mounting device according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the at least one adjusting element has a head, in particular in the form of a disc, at an end assigned to the first connecting section, wherein the head interacts with the first connecting section to adjust the relative position. 
     
     
         11 . The mounting device according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the first and/or the second connecting section has a tab with a passage for inserting the at least one adjusting element, in particular wherein the tab comprises the tension contact surface. 
     
     
         12 . The mounting device according to  claim 11 , characterized in that the passage for suspending the sanitary basin is open on one side. 
     
     
         13 . The mounting device according to  claim 7 , characterized in that the at least one adjusting device has at least one further adjusting element, in particular comprising a claw, wherein the at least one further adjusting element is displaceable by means of the at least one adjusting element in at least one direction with a directional component along and/or against the adjusting direction in such a way that the at least one further adjusting element can be brought into an operative connection transmitting the compressive and/or tensile force with the first and/or second connecting section, in particular the base frame. 
     
     
         14 . The mounting device according to  claim 13 , characterized in that the first and/or the second connecting section has at least one guide surface, wherein the at least one further adjusting element is displaceable along the at least one guide surface. 
     
     
         15 . The mounting device according to  claim 13 , characterized in that the at least one further adjusting element can be fixed, in particular in a releasable manner, to at least one of the connecting sections. 
     
     
         16 . The mounting device according to  claim 13 , characterized in that the at least one further adjusting element has at least two partial sections connected to one another in an articulated manner. 
     
     
         17 . The mounting device according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the at least one adjusting element comprises a telescopic element, in particular a telescopic rod, which can be arranged along the adjusting direction.
