 Carrying device for a sanitary body

The invention relates to a carrying device for a

Sanitary body, in particular a toilet bowl, a urinal basin, a bidet or a vanity, with a first carrier, the first fasteners for static mounting of the first carrier to a building and second fastening elements for attaching a cistern on the first carrier has, and with a second carrier having third attachment elements for attaching the sanitary body to the second carrier, the second carrier having the first carrier between a first, upper position and a in

Gravity direction thereof spaced second, lower position is slidably connected, wherein the second carrier is lockable at least in the first, upper position and in the second, lower position. Furthermore, the

Invention, a sanitary device with such

Carrying device.

A support device of the type mentioned, which is thus adjustable in height, is known for example from DE 102 10 494 Cl. This support device comprises a first, frame-shaped support of vertical struts and horizontal struts, the corresponding over

Fixing elements static, that is stationary, on a building, such as a wall or a floor can be mounted. This carrier also has fastening elements for attaching a cistern, which is so far also fixedly mounted. With the first carrier, a second carrier is slidably connected, that is, the first carrier and the second carrier are movable relative to each other. The relative movement takes place in the vertical, ie in or against the direction of gravity. On the second support fasteners for attaching a sanitary body, such as toilet bowl, and

Ports for the inlet and outlet provided. A toilet bowl mounted on the second support can be moved in this way

vertical direction, that is in or against the

Direction of gravity, to be adjusted in height.

This height adjustment is relatively complicated and therefore only by professionals, such as a fitter for

Installation technology, feasible. Thus, both the first carrier and the second carrier are each provided with a toothed plate or surface, wherein the toothed surfaces in the assembled state face each other. The serrated surfaces are arranged in the vertical and are made by the threaded rods for fixing the sanitary body

be tightened in the horizontal direction pressed together, whereby the tooth profiles mesh, which in turn causes a locking of the second carrier relative to the first carrier. Should now a height adjustment

be made, the threaded rods must be solved so far that the tooth profiles of the two toothed surfaces of the first and second carrier are disengaged, so that the first carrier and the second carrier in the vertical can be moved relative to each other. In this case, the components on which the toothed surfaces are provided with a spring which presses the toothed surfaces apart, biased to the release of the threaded rods the process of

Disabling engagement of the toothed surfaces. After the first and second carriers have then been displaced relative to each other in the vertical direction, the threaded rods must be tightened again to lock the sanitary body in the new position.

The height adjustment described above is therefore so expensive, among other things, since the threaded rods that hold the sanitary body, must be solved, and

according to the height adjustment to shift the entire weight of the sanitary body including possibly filled rinse water in the vertical. Also can such a

Sanitary body not easily "on the fly"

höhenverstellen, but it must be said for these purposes always a fitter ordered. The height adjustment is therefore not very comfortable. Add to these disadvantages that the construction of the support device is relatively complex, resulting in relatively high cost.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a carrying device which offers the highest possible comfort with the lowest possible purchase costs.

The previously derived and indicated object is in a support device for a sanitary body, in particular a toilet bowl, a urinal basin, a bidet or a vanity, with a first carrier, the first fastening elements for static (stationary) mounting of the first carrier on a Building, for example, a wall and / or a floor, and second fastening elements for attachment of a

Cistern has on the first carrier, and with a second carrier, the third fastening elements for attachment of the sanitary body to the second carrier and optionally Portions for a down and an inlet, wherein the second carrier with the first carrier between a first, upper position and a second direction in the direction of gravity spaced second, displaceable position

is connected, wherein the second carrier is locked at least in the first, upper position and in the second, lower position, achieved in that between the first carrier and the (relatively displaceable) second carrier at least one acting opposite to the direction of gravity spring is arranged whose one end is connected to the first carrier and whose other end is connected to the second carrier.

In other words, the first carrier and the second

Carrier movable relative to each other, in such a way that they relative to each other in the vertical direction a

perform translational movement when the second carrier is not locked relative to the first carrier. The spring acting against the direction of gravity serves, in the event that the second carrier is not locked and

is to be moved relative to the first carrier to compensate for at least a portion of the weight of the sanitary body. Preferably, the spring is configured (configured) that the spring force at least as large as the weight of the sanitary body, in particular the intended with

Rinse water filled sanitary body is. Particularly preferably, the spring is designed so that the spring force is at least as large as the sum of the weight of the

Sanitary body, in particular with the intended use

Rinsing water filled sanitary body, and the weight of the second carrier and optionally the weight of a connected to the second carrier inflow sheet and / or outlet bend (outlet sheet) is. It is meant with the feed sheet a tubular member, which with its lower end on it

provided connection is mounted on the second carrier and the upper end is mounted vertically movable on a connection to the cistern. Such a feed sheet can

For example, in the lower part of a rigid pipe bend, to which a bellows-like (accordion-like) cuff connects up to the upper end of the inflow bow. Such a cuff allows in a simple manner required for the height adjustment

Length adjustment of the inlet bend. Instead of a sleeve can also be provided that the entire inflow sheet is rigid and is sealingly and movably mounted in or around a fixed to the cistern connected drain pipe.

With a drain sheet is meant a similar tubular member, with its upper end on it

provided connection is mounted on the second carrier and the lower end is mounted vertically movable on a fixedly connected to the sewer pipe-shaped element. Vertically movable in the sense of the invention means that at least one component of the movement in space in the

vertical direction points. Also, the departure arc can in

Portion of the connection to the second support a rigid pipe bend and then have a bellows-like sleeve to compensate for the height adjustment. Instead of a bellows-type cuff, the drainage bow can also have a flexible hose in a partial section. It is also conceivable to form the drainage bow completely rigid and then sealing and movable in or around it store firmly connected to the sewer pipe-connected element.

The second carrier may be locked in at least one further position, preferably in a plurality of further positions, which may be between the first, upper position and the second, lower position. In particular, a carrying device can be provided which has a

 (almost) stepless and in particular individual

Height adjustment between the first, upper position and the second, lower position allows.

By acting against the direction of gravity spring compensates the weight of the sanitary body, optionally with the rinsing water therein, and optionally also the weight of the second carrier and the associated components, a height adjustment of the sanitary body can be made without much effort.

Basically, the spring force can be divided into several springs, so that the individual springs less

 Take up space and distribute the load better. For this purpose it can be provided that between the first carrier and the second carrier at least two opposite

Gravity direction acting springs are arranged, the respective one end to the first carrier and its

respective other end is connected to the second carrier.

In the at least one spring or the at least two

Springs are according to one embodiment of the

inventive support device to a train or

Spring. In the presence of at least two springs, a tension and a compression spring may be provided. According to yet another embodiment of the carrying device according to the invention, the at least one spring is a

pneumatic spring or a hydraulic spring. Preferably, a gas spring may be provided. In particular, the at least one spring may be a throttle cable or gas spring. Gas springs are easy to use and also allow the layman to easily adjust the height of the

Sanitary body.

According to another embodiment of the invention

Carrying device comprises the at least one spring, in particular the pneumatic or hydraulic spring, such as a gas spring, a locking mechanism, with which they in the first, upper position and / or in the second, lower

Position and / or locked in one or more intermediate positions (lockable) and unlocked

 is (releasable). According to the invention, the second carrier can be locked in the said positions in this way. The locking mechanism is in particular via a

Actuating mechanism that provides an electrical,

hydraulic, pneumatic or mechanical

Trigger mechanism can be. The trigger mechanism may include a Bowden cable and / or a release button or a

Have release lever. Particularly preferably, by means of a lever as a triggering mechanism of

Locking mechanism are operated, for example, a gas spring, so that upon actuation of the lever, the spring when it is unloaded, the sanitary body lifts in the vertical direction and in the loaded state of the spring, for example, when a person sits on the sanitary body, the sanitary body is lowered. Will the triggering mechanism, for example, the lever, back to the starting position

moved back, the gas spring is locked again / blocked and the second carrier locked. Of course, this is the ^' basic operating principle of the lock and

Release also applicable to other types of springs. Also, a lever is not necessarily required as a trigger mechanism, but the trigger mechanism can also be designed and operated differently as defined above. It is the

Release button or release lever, in particular on the

Carrying device, preferably on the planking of

 Carrying device, which will be described in more detail below, attached or hinged (in the case of a release lever).

In principle, it is also conceivable that the release button or release lever not on the support device, but next to it, for example, on the wall of the room in which the

 Carrying device is arranged, fixed or articulated.

According to the invention thus takes place the locking of the second carrier in the respective position relative to the first

Carrier by one or more contrary to the

 Gravity direction acting springs, in particular gas springs, with its own locking mechanism instead of vertically attached to the first carrier and the second carrier toothed surfaces. Such an arrangement can be operated in a particularly simple manner and has in particular the

Advantage that the sanitary body to adjust the height does not need to be solved.

According to another embodiment of the invention

According to the invention, the first carrier is formed by a frame and the second carrier is arranged, in particular at least partially, within the first frame. ie the frame runs around at least part of the second carrier. Preferably, the second carrier is completely arranged in a region (space) surrounded by the frame, ie the second carrier is completely surrounded (enclosed) to its sides and upwards and downwards by the frame, or the frame runs around the entire carrier. In order to enable a translational relative movement between the first carrier and the second carrier, it can be a

Guide means may be provided which guides the second carrier relative to the first carrier parallel to the direction of gravity. In particular, it is provided that the

Guiding device is formed by the frame,

especially inside or outside, guide rails and the second carrier guided in the guide rails

Counterparts, in particular slide rails, rollers or

 Roller bearing, and / or the second carrier, in particular on the inside or outside, guide rails and the frame in the guide rails guided counterparts, in particular slide rails, rollers or bearings, has. Alternatively or additionally, it is conceivable that with the frame

 Guide rods are connected and the second carrier guided on the guide rods, the guide rods at least partially enclosing counterparts, in particular C-profiles or sleeves having. The outer contour of the

Guide rods and / or the inner contour of the C-profiles or sleeves can be round or angular, in particular rectangular. The guide rods may be provided inside or outside the frame. The guide rails or rods run in the direction of gravity. In this way, the second carrier can be guided by simple means relative to the first carrier, in particular within the frame-shaped first carrier. According to a further embodiment of the carrying device according to the invention, the spring or, in the presence

several feathers, at least one of the feathers in one

Frame, arranged. Basically, to each side of the support device and the second carrier such

 Interspace be present, but not in each

Interspace a spring must be arranged. By utilizing such a gap for the arrangement of the spring (s), the support device is kept relatively flat and thereby takes up less space.

Furthermore, according to another embodiment of the

Supporting device according to the invention provided that on the second carrier one or more spacers, in particular

adjustable spacers, are provided, on which a parallel to the first and / or second carrier extending aperture is arranged, which is perpendicular to the direction of gravity (in the direction of the sanitary body to be mounted) spaced from the second carrier and at least a portion of the second carrier (forward towards the sanitary body). The spacers have the purpose that the panel has a predetermined distance from the surface of the tiles, with which the support device is covered after it has been planked with a planking, as will be explained below. In the tiles preferably remain only openings for the passage of the threaded rods for fixing the sanitary body and openings for Implementation of inflow and outflow. The openings are shaped so that the height adjustment is guaranteed. For example, the openings are around

Long holes.

The spacers can also be adjusted as I said, which has the advantage that the distance of the aperture

different tile and planking thicknesses is customizable.

The panel consists for example at least partially of metal, in particular stainless steel, plastic or glass. The panel allows the simple means to cover the necessary for ensuring the height adjustment

Cutouts in the tiles. In addition, the panel can also serve to accommodate at least a portion of the load of the sanitary body and distribute in the support device.

As already indicated above, the inventive

Carrying device also have a planking. These

 Planking serves, for example, as a support for tiles, which dress the support device and / or the wall opening in which the support device is arranged. According to one embodiment of the carrying device, the planking with the outer carrier, in particular with the frame of the outer

 Support, and in particular covers the outer support and / or at least a portion of the area, in particular the largest part of the area, between the vertical

Struts of the frame (forward to the sanitary body out) off. The planking, which may be a plate-shaped element, is preferably on the frame,

especially on the vertical struts and possibly also flush with the horizontal struts of the frame. It is provided in particular that the planking between the frame, in particular the vertical struts of the frame, and the diaphragm is arranged, wherein the diaphragm is perpendicular to the direction of gravity, ie in the horizontal direction, spaced from the planking.

It is conceivable that the planking forms part of the area, in particular the largest part of the area, between the vertical struts of the frame (towards the front of the frame)

 Sanitary body), with the exception of at least a first area excluded from the planking or a first opening in the planking, the one in the direction

 Planking recessed area or a second opening in the planking, which in the direction perpendicular to

Direction of gravity in front of a part of the cistern,

especially before controls the cistern lies.

According to another embodiment of the invention

Carrying device covers the aperture of the first of the

Beplankung recessed area or the first opening in the planking in the direction perpendicular to the direction of gravity from. The above-described first panel-removed area or first opening in the paneling can serve as an inspection opening which ensures easy access to the interior of the support, in particular to the interior support and the outlets and the outlets.

So that the (revision) opening is not visible to the user, it can be covered by the aperture described to the front. The second area excluded from the planking or the second opening in the planking can accommodate a control panel, in particular a control panel with one or more pushbuttons, for actuating the

Cistern serve. In particular, the control panel is mechanically or electrically coupled to said control elements of the cistern.

In order to seal the interior of the support device from the environment, that is, with respect to the space in which the sanitary body is located, is according to yet another

Embodiment of the carrying device according to the invention

Planking a sealing element in the form of a frame or a cover plate is arranged and connected to the planking, in particular the edge of the first recessed area of the panel or the first opening, wherein the frame or the cover plate part of the first recessed area of the planking (Front towards the sanitary body out) covers and in particular closes, with the exception of a single recess in the frame or more recesses in the cover plate, which recess (s) in the direction perpendicular to the direction of gravity (ie in the horizontal direction) in the first position and the second position of the second Support in front of the connections for the drain and the inlet, in particular before the recordings in the inner support for the threaded rods or fasteners for fixing the sanitary body on the inner support, is / are. In other words, either a frame is attached to the planking, in which case only a single recess is provided in selbigem, or it is a cover plate on the

Cladding attached, in which case several

Recesses are provided in the cover plate.

The frame or the cover plate serves to the gap between the planking, in particular with tiles

provided planking, and close the spaced therefrom aperture and / or seal so that no odors from the interior of the support device in the environment, that is the space in which the sanitary body is arranged, can pass (that is odor-proof or gas-tight

seal). The sealing element, ie the frame or the cover plate, can also rest on the tiled part or the tiles on the planking and thereby close or seal the gap between tile and panel (ie

seal odor-tight or gastight).

It is conceivable that the frame or the cover plate

The sanitary device may further comprise an inlet bend and / or drainage arch of the type described above and / or a cover attached to the second support of the type described above and / or a cistern of the previously described type attached to the first support, in particular with the inlet bend is connected. There are now a lot of ways that

Inventive support device and sanitary device and further develop. On the one hand refer to the subordinate to the patent claim 1

On the other hand, the description of

Embodiments in conjunction with the drawing. In the drawing show:

Fig. La) to d) a first embodiment of a

 supporting device according to the invention,

Fig. 2 shows a second embodiment of a supporting device according to the invention as

Part of a sanitary device, a third embodiment of a supporting device according to the invention, each different views of an embodiment of a sealing element for a novel

 Supporting device, the embodiment of Fig. 3a) and b) in the planked and clad condition and Fig. 6a) and b) is a sectional view of a

 Embodiment of a sealing element with inserted circumferential seal.

In the figures la) to c) is in various views, a first embodiment of an inventive

Supporting device 1 shown, wherein in Fig. La) the state after mounting the support device 1 to a building is shown. FIGS. 1b) and c) also show this

Interior of the support device 1 of Fig. La) in detail. Fig. Id) is a sectional view along the section line BB in Fig. Lc).

The illustrated support device 1 is attached to a structure, for example to a wall and / or on a floor to attach a sanitary body 10 thereto. The support device 1 allows a height adjustment of

 Sanitary body 10, here for example a toilet bowl, without the help of a professional. Every user can find their individual seating position quickly and easily. For this purpose, the carrying device 1 has a first, outer carrier 2 and a second, inner carrier 4. The first carrier 2 consists of horizontal struts 7.3 and vertical struts 7.2, which together form a frame 7. The struts 7.2 and 7.3 also form at the same time

Fastening elements 2.2 for a cistern 3. The first support 2 is statically or fixedly attached to the structure, for example the wall and / or the floor, via corresponding fastening elements 2.1. The second carrier 4 has fastening elements 4.1

 Attachment of the sanitary body 10 on the second support 4 and connections 4.2 and 4.3 for a drain and inlet. From the port 4.3 for the feed, an inflow sheet 11 extends with a bellows cuff 11.1 up to a

Connection 3.1 on cistern 3. From connection 4.2 for the

Expiration extends a drain sheet 12 with a flexible portion 12.1 to the sewer (not shown). The second carrier 4 is connected to the first carrier 2 between a first, upper position I, that for another

Embodiment shown in Fig. 2, and a vertically spaced in the direction of gravity X thereof second, lower position II, which in the figures la) to c)

is shown, slidably connected, that is, the first carrier 2 and the second carrier 4 are movable relative to each other, when there is no locking of the two carriers relative to each other. The second carrier 4 is in each case lockable in the first, upper position I and in the second, lower position II, that is detectable. A locking can also take place in several intermediate positions between the upper position I and the lower position II.

Between the first carrier 2 and the second carrier 4, at least one opposite to the direction of gravity X spring 5 is arranged, one end 5.1, here the upper end, with the first carrier 2 and the other end 5.2, here the lower end, is connected to the second carrier 4. In the present case, the spring 5 is a gas tension spring.

In the present case, the gas tension spring 5 in the maximum compressed state (maximum extended) by a

 Locking mechanism locked in the spring or

locked. The second support 4 is located in the lower position II. The locking mechanism can via a trigger mechanism 6, for example a

electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic or mechanical

Trigger mechanism 6, which may have a Bowden cable, and as here a trigger button 6.1, and the Unlock gas spring 5 (unlock). As a result, the gas tension spring 5 pulls the second carrier 4 counter to the direction of gravity X vertically upwards to a position which is vertically above the lower position II,

For example, to the upper position I. A sanitary body 10, which is mounted on the second support 4, follows this movement. In this way, with very simple means a

Height adjustment can also be performed by laymen. As can be seen in particular in FIGS. 1b) to d), the second carrier 4 is arranged completely in the frame 7 of the first carrier 2, i. the frame 7 extends around the entire carrier 4 around. So that the second carrier 4 can be guided relative to the first carrier 2 parallel to the direction of gravity X, is a guide device

provided, which is constructed as follows: The frame 7 has inside on each side of a guide rail 7.1, wherein the two guide rails are opposite 7.1. The second carrier 4 has in the guide rails 7.1 guided counterparts 13 in the form of rollers. Alternatively, the counterparts may also be slide rails or roller bearings.

Fig. La) shows an aperture 9, which is made of stainless steel, for example, and which is responsible for ensuring the

Height adjustment necessary recesses in the tiles and the planking (not shown) covers. The panel 9 is connected via adjustable spacers 8 with the second carrier and through this perpendicular to the direction of gravity X in the direction of the sanitary body 10 to be mounted from the second

Carrier 4 spaced. The panel 9 has bushings 9.1 for threaded rods for fastening the sanitary body 10, a passage 9.2 for the connection 4.3 of the inlet and a passage for the connection 4.2 of the sequence on.

2 shows a sanitary device with an alternative support device 1 and a sanitary body 10 fastened to the second support 4 in the form of a symbolic one here

illustrated toilet bowl.

The alternative support device 1 is essentially constructed like the support device 1 shown in the figures la) to d), but differs by the springs. Thus, in the embodiment of FIG. 2, two springs 5 'are used instead of a single spring. In addition, the two springs are 5 'to gas springs instead of Gaszugfedern. The gas springs are each attached with its lower end 5.1 'on the first support 2 and with its upper end 5.2' on the second support 4. These gas springs 5 'have a locking mechanism which is actuated via a common trigger mechanism 6. The triggering mechanism 6 may be formed as described above.

2, the second carrier 4 is arranged in the upper position I, wherein the second carrier 4 abuts the underside of the cistern 3. The gas springs 5 'can be further extended relative to the position shown in order to further lower the second carrier 4 and thus the sanitary body 10. Furthermore, the figures 3a) and 3b) still show

Embodiment of a support device 1. This also has, as in the figures la) to d), only one single spring 5, which is a gas spring. In contrast to that

Embodiment in the figures la) to d) is in the embodiment in Figures 3a) and b) the spring 5 not centrally, but laterally offset, so does not have the same distance to both vertical frame parts 7.2. The spring 5 is rather in an intermediate space between the guide means still described below and the adjacent thereto part of the frame 7, namely the

vertical strut 7.2 of the frame 7, arranged.

In this embodiment, the guide means for guiding the second carrier 4 relative to the first carrier 1 is formed by moving within the frame 7, i. in enclosed by the frame 7 area or space, guide rods

7.1 'are arranged and connected to the frame 7 and the second carrier 4 guided on the guide rods 7.1', the guide rods 7.1 'completely encompassing counterparts 13' in the form of sleeves. The guide rods 7.1 'in this case have a round cross section, i. a round

Outer contour. The sleeves 13 'have an outer contour of the guide rods corresponding inner contour, which is therefore also round here. Basically, but also angular

Cross sections or contours conceivable.

Figures 4a) and b) each show an embodiment of a sealing element, which in an opening 14.1 a planking 14, as shown in Fig. 5a), can be provided.

According to Fig. 4a) is in the sealing element to a frame 15, for example made of plastic or rubber, the one single central recess 15.1, which in the mounted state in the direction perpendicular to the direction of gravity X in both the first position I and in the second

Position II of the second carrier 4 (horizontal) before the

Connections 4.2 and 4.3 for the sequence and the inlet as well as (horizontally) before the shots 4.4 in the inner support 4 for the threaded rods (not shown) for fixing the sanitary body 10 on the inner support 4 is located. Fig. 4b) shows an alternative embodiment of a sealing element. This sealing element is a cover plate 16, for example made of plastic or rubber, which has a plurality of recesses, inter alia, a recess 16.1 in the mounted state in the direction perpendicular to the direction of gravity X in both the first position I and the second position II of the second

Support 4 (horizontal) is located in front of the connections 4.2 and 4.3 for the drain and the inlet. Furthermore, two recesses 16.2 and 16.2 'are provided in the embodiment shown in Fig. 4b), which in the mounted state in the direction perpendicular to the direction of gravity X in both the first position I and the second position II of the second

Carrier 4 (horizontal) before the recordings 4.4 inside

Support 4 for the threaded rods (not shown) for

Fixation of the sanitary body 10 on the inner support 4 are. As shown in Fig. 4b), the cover plate 16 may also have further recesses.

Fig. 5a) shows the embodiment of a support device 1 according to Figures 3a) and b), wherein a planking 14 is provided, which is connected to the outer support 2, in particular with the frame 7 of the outer support 2, and the in particular covers the outer support 2 and / or at least part of the area between the vertical struts 7.3 of the frame 7. As can be seen clearly, is forward to the

 Sanitary body (not shown here) towards the largest part of the area between the vertical struts 7.3 of the frame 7 covered. The planking 14 is flush with the frame 7 and in particular on the horizontal and vertical struts 7.2 and 7.3.

In Fig. 5a) it can be further seen that the planking 14 covers part of the area between the vertical struts 7.3 of the frame 7, with the exception of a first area recessed from the planking 14 or a first one

Opening 14.1, the / in the direction perpendicular to

Gravity direction X in the first position I and the second position II of the second carrier 4 before the terminals 4.2, 4.3 for the sequence and the inlet is, and with

Exception of a second one exempted from the planking 14

Area or a second opening 14.2, the / in the direction perpendicular to the direction of gravity X in front of a part of the

Cistern 3, in particular in front of the controls 3.2 of the cistern 3, is located.

In Fig. 5b) a partially lined state is shown, in which a sealing element - this is an example of a cover plate 16 as shown in FIG. 4b) - is inserted into the first opening 14.1 of the planking 14. Instead of a

Cover 16 can of course also as

Sealing a frame 15 of FIG. 4a) are used. In the embodiment in Fig. 5b) is clear

it can be seen that the cover plate 16 covers part of the first area 14.1 recessed from the planking 14 forward toward the sanitary body (not shown), with the exception of the said recesses 16.1, 16.2, 16.2 ', etc.

The second opening 14.2 is not covered here, but can be closed with a control unit for flushing.

Further, Fig. 5c) shows the (with the exception of the opening 14.2) fully clad condition, in which a diaphragm 9, as has already been described with reference to FIG. La), the first recessed from the skin 14 area or the first

Opening 14.1 in the direction perpendicular to the direction of gravity X covers. Only the openings 9.1 to carry out the

Threaded rods and the openings 9.2 and 9.3 for connecting the drain and the inlet are still a horizontally not covered area to the front. But also this area is closed after installation and connection of a sanitary body 10. The area or gap between planking 14 or tiles (not shown) and panel 9 is sealed by said sealing element 15 or 16. In order to optimize the sealing of the area between planking 14 and panel 9, as shown in FIGS. 6 a) and 6 b) by way of example, a seal 17 or 17 'can be provided, which is located in a groove 16. 3 and / or recess in FIG

Sealing element 17 or 17 'is anchored. The seal 17 or 17 'extends in a region which in the direction

perpendicular to the direction of gravity X of the aperture 9th is covered, so that the panel 9 comes in the mounted state with the seal 17 and 17 'in contact.

The exemplified seals 17 and 17 '

differ in their profile. The in Fig. 6a)

illustrated seal 17 has a hollow profile, whereas the seal 17 'in Fig. 6b) has a sealing lip 17.1'. The sealing lip 17.1 'has here to the center of the sealing element 16, but can also in the opposite direction (in Fig. 6b) down) have. If the aperture 9 in the direction perpendicular to the direction of gravity X (ie in the horizontal direction) on the seal 17 or 17 'is applied, the
