Titel: ToilethænaselTitle: Toilet Hen

Opfindelsen angår et toilethængsel til indstillelig fastgørelse af en toiletafdækning, der består af et toiletsæde og/eller et låg, til en toiletkumme, der har et til 5 formålet beregnet fastgørelseshul, så at toiletafdækningen kan dreje omkring en i hovedsagen vandret hængselakse, hvilket toilethængsel omfatter en basisdel med en underside, der er beregnet til at ligge an mod toiletkummens overflade, en lodret opad fra basisdelen forløbende akseltap, der omfatter hængselorganer for toiletafdækningen, et i basisdelen værende monteringshul, som befinder 10 sig i afstand fra akseltappens akse, og som skaftet på en bolt kan føres igennem for optagelse i toiletkummens fastgørelseshul med henblik på fastgørelse af toilethængslet til toiletkummen.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The invention relates to a toilet hinge for adjustably attaching a toilet cover consisting of a toilet seat and / or a lid to a toilet bowl having a purpose-designed attachment hole so that the toilet cover can rotate about a substantially horizontal hinge axis, which comprises a toilet hinge. a base member with a underside intended to abut against the surface of the toilet bowl, a vertical shaft extending upwardly from the base member which includes hinge means for the toilet cover, a mounting hole located in the base member spaced from the axis of the shaft pin, and as the shaft on a bolt can be passed through for insertion into the toilet bowl attachment hole for attaching the toilet hinge to the toilet bowl.

Der anvendes normalt to sådanne hængsler til fastgørelse af toiletafdækningen, 15 så at denne kan dreje omkring en i hovedsagen vandret hængselakse mellem en lodretstående åben stilling og en nedslået stilling, hvor toiletafdækningen hviler på toiletkummens rand. Toiletkummer er normalt forsynet med to i afstand fra hinanden værende fastgørelseshuller med lodrette hulakser, og som en monteringsbolt til toilethængslet kan fastgøres i. Afstanden mellem disse fast-20 gørelseshuller kan variere som følge af forskellige standarder eller tolerancefejl, og det er derfor ønskeligt, at toilethængsler til en vis grad er indstillelige. Andre formål med at have indstillelige toilethængsler er, at der må sikres en fri dreje-bevægelse for toiletafdækningen, en æstetisk optimal placering af toiletafdækningen i forhold til kummen samt ønske om minimalt slør.Two such hinges are usually used to secure the toilet cover, 15 so that it can rotate about a substantially horizontal hinge axis between a vertical open position and a down position, where the toilet cover rests on the rim of the toilet bowl. Toilet sinks are usually provided with two spaced-apart vertical holes for vertical holes and to which a mounting bolt for the toilet hinge can be attached. The distance between these attachment holes may vary due to different standards or tolerances, and it is therefore desirable that toilet hinges to some extent are adjustable. Other purposes of having adjustable toilet hinges are to ensure a free turning movement for the toilet cover, an aesthetically optimal positioning of the toilet cover in relation to the basin and the desire for minimal veil.

Fra EP 1 399 050 kendes et toilethængsel af den indledningsvis nævnte art, hvor monteringshullet er udformet som en aflang slids, der befinder sig i en bundplade, som er drejelig fastholdt i basisdelen. Som følge af slidsen opnås god mulighed for at indstille toilethængslets position på kummen. En ulempe 30 ved dette hængsel er dog, at akseltappen, der i afstand fra basisdelen er forsynet med en i monteret tilstand vandret forløbende hængseltap, er svejset fast til basisdelen. Der er således ikke mulighed for at drejeindstille akseltappen i forhold til basisdelen, hvilket begrænser indstillingsmulighederne væsentligt.From EP 1 399 050 a toilet hinge of the kind mentioned above is known, in which the mounting hole is formed as an elongated slot, which is in a base plate which is rotatably held in the base part. As a result of the slot, a good opportunity is obtained to set the position of the toilet hinge on the basin. A disadvantage of this hinge, however, is that the shaft spigot, which is provided with a hinge extending horizontally extending in the mounted state, is welded to the base part. Thus, it is not possible to rotate the shaft pin relative to the base, which significantly limits the adjustment possibilities.

Formålet med opfindelsen er at anvise et nyt og forbedret toilethængsel af den indledningsvis nævnte art, som ud over at give gode indstillingsmuligheder er enkelt og billigt at fremstille.The object of the invention is to provide a new and improved toilet hinge of the kind mentioned above, which in addition to providing good adjustment possibilities is simple and inexpensive to manufacture.

Formålet er ifølge opfindelsen opnået ved, at akseltappen er løsbart fastholdt i et i basisdelen tilvejebragt akselhul, som forløber fra basisdelens underside til basisdelens overside, og som i afstand fra basisdelens underside har en indre nedadvendende anlægsflade, og at akseltappen i afstand fra sin nedre ende 10 har en opadvendende anlægsflade, der, når akseltappen er bragt fra en ikke-låst position til en låseposition ved en bevægelse i retning af basisdelens overside gennem hullet, ligger an mod akselhullets nedadvendende anlægsflade, hvorved akseltappen kan fastholdes i basisdelens akselhul mellem akselhullets nedadvendende anlægsflade og kummens overflade, når basisdelen er fastgjort 15 til kummen. Herved opnås på en enkel måde gode indstillingsmuligheder, idet basisdelen kan drejes omkring den gennem monteringshullet førte bolt, og hængseltappen samtidig kan drejes til en korrekt position i forhold til toiletafdækningen. Akseltappen og akselhullet kan være således dimensioneret i forhold til hinanden, at friktion, der kun kan overvindes ved en vis kraftpåvirkning, 20 fastholder hængseltappens drejestilling. En sådan konstruktion er desuden særdeles enkel og billig at fremstille.The object of the invention is achieved by the shaft pin being releasably retained in a shaft hole provided in the base member extending from the underside of the base member to the upper side of the base member, and having a downwardly abutting contact surface at the base of the base member, and the shaft pin spaced from its lower end. 10 has an upwardly facing abutment surface which, when the shaft pin is moved from an unlocked position to a locking position by a movement in the direction of the upper part of the base through the hole, abuts the downwardly facing abutment surface of the shaft hole, whereby the shaft pin can be retained in the base part's shaft hole between the downward face of the shaft hole and the surface of the basin when the base portion is attached to the basin. This provides easy adjustment possibilities in a simple way, since the base can be rotated around the bolt passed through the mounting hole and the hinge pin can simultaneously be rotated to a correct position relative to the toilet cover. The shaft pin and shaft hole may be dimensioned relative to each other so that friction which can be overcome only by a certain force of action retains the pivot position of the hinge pin. Furthermore, such a construction is extremely simple and inexpensive to manufacture.

Ifølge en fordelagtig udførelsesform omfatter akseltappens yderside og akselhullets inderside samvirkende låseflader, som i akseltappens låseposition er i 25 indgreb med hinanden og herved forhindrer rotation af akseltappen i forhold til basisdelen. Herved sikres på enkel måde en fast orientering af akseltappens hængselorganer i toilethængslets monterede tilstand, hvilket reducerer slør og reducerer risikoen for, at toiletafdækningen utilsigtet løsnes fra hængselorganerne.According to an advantageous embodiment, the outer surface of the shaft pin and the inside of the shaft hole comprise interlocking locking surfaces which in the locking position of the shaft pin engage each other, thereby preventing rotation of the shaft pin relative to the base part. In this way, a fixed orientation of the shaft hinge members in the mounted state of the toilet hinge is simply ensured, which reduces veil and reduces the risk that the toilet cover is unintentionally released from the hinge members.

Ifølge en foretrukken udførelsesform er låsefladerne tilvejebragt som komplementære fremspring og fordybninger på/i akselhullets inderside og på/i akseltappens yderside. Der er fortrinsvis et stort antal fordybninger, idet dette øger 30 3 DK 176340 B1 muligheden for at indstille akseltappen præcist i den ønskede position. Der kan således være for eksempel mindst 10, fortrinsvis mindst 20 fordybninger. Antallet af fremspring behøver ikke at være så stort som antallet af fordybninger.According to a preferred embodiment, the locking surfaces are provided as complementary projections and recesses on / in the inside of the shaft hole and on / in the outside of the shaft pin. There is preferably a large number of recesses, which increases the possibility of precisely adjusting the shaft pin in the desired position. Thus, for example, there may be at least 10, preferably at least 20 recesses. The number of projections need not be as large as the number of recesses.

5 Ifølge en særlig enkel udførelsesform er de komplementære fremspring og fordybninger i det væsentlige savtakformede. Herved opnås på særlig enkel måde mulighed for finindstilling af akseltappens drejestilling i forhold til basisdelen.According to a particularly simple embodiment, the complementary projections and recesses are essentially saw-shaped. This provides a particularly simple way to fine-tune the pivot position of the shaft in relation to the base.

[følge en udførelsesform kan de komplementære fremspring og fordybninger 10 befinde sig på/i akselhullets nedadvendende anlægsflade og på/i akseltappens opadvendende anlægsflade.[According to one embodiment, the complementary projections and recesses 10 may be located on / in the downwardly facing contact surface of the shaft hole and on / in the upward contacting face of the shaft pin.

Ifølge en alternativ udførelsesform kan de komplementære fremspring og fordybninger befinde sig på/i en parallelt med akselhulaksen forløbende akselhul-15 væg og en parallelt med akseltapaksen forløbende overflade af akseltappen. Fremspringene og fordybningerne kan enten befinde sig over akselhullets nedadvendende anlægsflade og over akseltappens opadvendende anlægsflade eller under akselhullets nedadvendende anlægsflade og under akseltappens opadvendende anlægsflade.According to an alternative embodiment, the complementary projections and recesses may be located on / in a shaft cavity extending parallel to the shaft cavity and a surface extending parallel to the shaft shaft axis. The projections and recesses may be either above the downwardly facing contact surface of the shaft hole and above the upwardly facing contact surface of the shaft hole, or below the downward contacting contact surface of the shaft hole and below the upward contacting contact surface of the shaft hole.

20 I stedet for fremspring og fordybninger kan akseltappen i et område have et polygonalt tværsnit og akselhullet have et tilsvarende polygonalt tværsnit. Områderne med polygonalt tværsnit befinde sig enten over anlægsfladerne eller under anlægsfladerne. De polygonale tværsnit kan f.eks. være sekskantede, men 25 det foretrækkes, at de har flere kanter, idet dette øger justeringsmulighederne.Instead of projections and recesses, the shaft pin in one region may have a polygonal cross-section and the shaft hole have a corresponding polygonal cross-section. The polygonal cross-sectional areas are either above the abutment surfaces or below the abutment surfaces. The polygonal cross-sections may e.g. may be hexagonal, but it is preferred that they have multiple edges as this increases the alignment possibilities.

Det er således hensigtsmæssigt med 12 eller flere kanter.Thus, it is appropriate to have 12 or more edges.

Ifølge en udførelsesform kan akseltappen i afstand fra basisdelen omfatte en i monteret tilstand vandret forløbende hængseltap, der fastlægger en hængsel-30 akse for toiletafdækningen. Akseltappen kan således omfatte en rund stang, f.eks. af rustfrit stål, der er bukket 90° til dannelse af hængseltappen.According to one embodiment, the shaft spigot spaced from the base member may comprise a hinge extending horizontally extending, which determines a hinge axis for the toilet cover. The shaft pin may thus comprise a round rod, e.g. of stainless steel bent 90 ° to form the hinge pin.

Ifølge en foretrukken udførelsesform er monteringshullet i basisdelen udformet som en aflang monteringsslids. Herved øges justeringsmulighedeme yderligere.According to a preferred embodiment, the mounting hole in the base member is formed as an elongated mounting slot. This further increases the adjustment possibilities.

Der opnås maksimal justeringsmulighed, hvis den aflange monteringsslids er således orienteret, at dens længdeakse, der forløber parallelt med basisdelens 5 underside, skærer akseltaphullet, især dettes centrum.Maximum adjustment is obtained if the elongated mounting slot is oriented such that its longitudinal axis extending parallel to the underside of the base member 5 intersects the shaft pin hole, in particular its center.

Basisdelen er fortrinsvis udformet som en rund skive, hvor akselhullet er placeret i afstand fra skivens centrum. Den maksimale indstillingsmulighed i vandret plan opnås, hvis akselhullet er placeret nær periferien af skiven og monterings-10 slidsen forløber fra et sted nær akselhullet til et sted nær periferien af skiven, der ligger diametralt over for akselhullet.The base member is preferably formed as a circular disc, with the shaft hole spaced from the center of the disc. The maximum horizontal alignment option is obtained if the shaft hole is located near the periphery of the disc and the mounting slot extends from a location near the shaft hole to a location near the periphery of the disc that is diametrically opposite the shaft hole.

Opfindelsen vil i det følgende blive forklaret nærmere under henvisning til en foretrukken udførelsesform, der er vist på den vedføjede tegning, hvor 15 fig. 1 viser en toiletafdækning bestående af et toiletsæde og et toiletlåg, der ved hjælp af to toilethængsler ifølge opfindelsen er fastgjort til en skematisk vist toiletkumme, 20 fig. 2 et lodret snit gennem toilethængslet og toiletafdækningen i fig. 1, fig. 3 toilethængslet ifølge opfindelsen, set i perspektiv, fig. 4 toilethængslet i strakt perspektiv, 25 fig. 5 toilethængslet i strakt perspektiv, set fra en anden vinkel, fig. 6 toilethængslets basisdel, set skråt oppefra, 30 fig. 7 basisdelen, set skråt nedefra, og fig. 8 akseltappen, set skråt oppefra.The invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to a preferred embodiment shown in the accompanying drawing, in which: FIG. 1 shows a toilet cover consisting of a toilet seat and a toilet lid, which are attached to a schematically shown toilet bowl by means of two toilet hinges according to the invention; 2 is a vertical section through the toilet hinge and toilet cover of FIG. 1, FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the toilet hinge according to the invention; FIG. 4 shows the toilet hinge in an extended perspective; FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the toilet hinge from a different angle; FIG. 6 shows the base part of the toilet hinge, seen obliquely from above, FIG. 7 shows the base part, inclined from below, and FIG. 8 shaft pin, seen from the top.

5 DK 176340 B1 I fig. 1 ses hvorledes en almindelig toiletafdækning 15, der omfatter et toiletsæde 16 og et toiletlåg 17, ved hjælp af to toilethængsler 1 er drejeligt fastgjort til en flange på en toiletkumme 18. Toiletkummen 18 er her kun vist skematisk som en rektangulær plade for overskuelighedens skyld. Sædet 16 og låget 17 5 kan drejes mellem den viste vandrette position, hvor sædet 16 hviler på toiletkummen, og låget 17 hviler på sædet, og en lodret stilling, hvor låget 17 og eventuelt sædet 16 hviler mod en ikke vist cisterne eller væg.5 DK 176340 B1 In fig. 1 shows how a conventional toilet cover 15 comprising a toilet seat 16 and a toilet lid 17 is pivotally attached to a flange on a toilet bowl 18 by means of two toilet hinges 1. The toilet bowl 18 is here shown schematically only as a rectangular plate for the sake of clarity. The seat 16 and the lid 17 can be rotated between the horizontal position shown, where the seat 16 rests on the toilet bowl, and the lid 17 rests on the seat, and a vertical position where the lid 17 and optionally the seat 16 rests against a cistern or wall not shown.

I fig. 2 ses et lodret snit gennem toilethængslet 1, toiletafdækningen 16, 17 og 10 toiletkummens 18 flange i den i fig. 1 viste monterede tilstand. Toilethængslet 1 omfatter en cirkulær skiveformet basisdel 2 og en opad fra denne forløbende akseltap 7. Akseltappen 7 er bukket 90° og fastlægger herved en vandret forløbende hængseltap 8 (se fig. 3). Hængseltappen fastlægger en vandret omdrejningsakse for toiletsædet 16 og toiletlåget 17. Toiletsædet 16 er forsynet med et 15 øjeorgan 26, der er ført omkring hængseltappen 8. Toiletlåget 17 er ligeledes forsynet med et øjeorgan 27, der ført omkring hængseltappen 8. Toiletsædet 16 og toiletlåget 17 kan således dreje omkring hængseltappen 8. Toilethængslets basisdel 2 er ved hjælp af en bolt 4 fastgjort til toiletkummen 18. Bolten 4 er ført gennem en aflang slids 10 i basisdelen 2 og gennem et fastgørelseshul 22 i toi-20 letkummen 18. Slidsen 10 er for smal til, at boltens hoved kan komme igennem den, men har et øvre område 23, der er bredt nok til at kunne optage boltehovedet. Boltens hoved ligger således an mod kanten, der nedadtil afgrænser det øvre område 23 af slidsen 10. Ved hjælp af en møtrik 5 og en indskudt spændskive 6 på undersiden af toiletkummens 18 flange, fastholder bolten 4 således 25 basisdelen 2 til toiletkummens 18 øvre overflade 19. En dækkappe 20 dækker slidsen og den heri værende bolt.In FIG. 2 is a vertical section through the toilet hinge 1, the toilet cover 16, 17 and 10 of the toilet bowl 18 flange in the embodiment of FIG. 1. The toilet hinge 1 comprises a circular disc-shaped base portion 2 and an upwardly extending from this extending shaft pin 7. The shaft pin 7 is bent 90 °, thereby defining a horizontal extending hinge pin 8 (see Fig. 3). The hinge pin defines a horizontal axis of rotation for the toilet seat 16 and the toilet lid 17. The toilet seat 16 is provided with a 15 eye member 26 which is guided around the hinge pin 8. The toilet lid 17 is also provided with an eye member 27 which guides around the hinge pin 8. The toilet seat 17 can thus rotate around the hinge pin 8. The base part 2 of the toilet hinge is fixed by means of a bolt 4 to the toilet bowl 18. The bolt 4 is passed through an elongate slot 10 in the base part 2 and through a fastening hole 22 in the toilet bowl 18. The slot 10 is for narrow to allow the bolt head to pass through it but has an upper region 23 wide enough to accommodate the bolt head. Thus, the head of the bolt abuts the edge which defines downwardly the upper region 23 of the slot 10. By means of a nut 5 and a inserted washer 6 on the underside of the flange of the toilet bowl 18, the bolt 4 thus retains the base part 2 to the upper surface 19 of the toilet bowl 18 A cover cap 20 covers the slot and the bolt contained herein.

Toilethængslets 1 position kan indstilles i vandret plan ved at forskyde basisdelen 2 i slidsens 10 længderetning i forhold til bolten 4 og ved at dreje basisdelen 30 2 omkring bolten 4. Akseltappens 7 drejestilling og dermed den i fig. 2 ikke- synlige hængseltaps 8 orientering kan indstilles som følge af den måde, akseltappen 7 er fastgjort til basisdelen 2. Dette vil blive bekrevet tydeligere i det følgende.The position of the toilet hinge 1 can be adjusted in the horizontal plane by displacing the base part 2 in the longitudinal direction of the slot 10 relative to the bolt 4 and by turning the base part 30 2 around the bolt 4. The pivot position of the shaft 7 and thus the position shown in FIG. 2, the orientation of the invisible hinge pins 8 can be adjusted due to the way the shaft pin 7 is attached to the base part 2. This will be described more clearly below.

6 DK 176340 B1 I fig. 3 ses toilethængslet ifølge opfindelsen, der omfatter basisdelen 2 og den opad fra denne forløbende akseltap 7. Basisdelen 2 er i den viste udførelses-form udformet som en rund skive, og hængseltappen 7 forløber opad fra basis-5 delen 2 i afstanden fra skivens centrum. Akseltappen 7 omfatter en vandret forløbende hængseltap 8 som beskrevet i det foregående. Slidsen 10 er ikke synlig i fig. 3 på grund af dækkappen 20.6 DK 176340 B1 In fig. 3, the toilet hinge according to the invention, comprising the base part 2 and the upwardly extending shaft 7 thereof, is seen. In the illustrated embodiment, the base part 2 is formed as a circular disc, and the hinge pin 7 extends upwardly from the base part 2 in the distance from the center of the disc. . The shaft pin 7 comprises a horizontally extending hinge pin 8 as described above. Slot 10 is not visible in FIG. 3 due to the cover 20.

I fig. 4 ses toilethængslet i strakt perspektiv, og man ser således de tre separate 10 dele, nemlig basisdelen 2, dækkappen 20 og akseltappen 7. Som det kan ses, er dækkappen 20 cirkulær med et rundtgående skørt og har en cirkelbueformet udskæring 28. Den cirkelbueformet udskæring 28 forløber over mindre end 180° af dækkappens 20 omkreds. Herved kan dækkappen 20 kun fjernes fra basisdelen 2 ved at løfte den lodret af. Dækkappen 20 fastholdes i øvrigt på ba-15 sisdelen 2 i den monterede tilstand ved simpel friktionspasning. Dækkappen 20 og basisdelen 2 kunne dog også være forsynet med passende snaplåseorga-ner, f.eks. i form af et fremspring på indersiden af dækkappen 20 og en tilsvarende udformet fordybning i basisdelen 2.In FIG. 4, the toilet hinge is seen in an extended perspective, and thus the three separate 10 parts are seen, namely the base part 2, the cover 20 and the shaft 7. As can be seen, the cover 20 is circular with a circumferential skirt and has a circular arcuate cutout 28. The circular arcuate cutout 28 extends over less than 180 ° of the circumference of the cover 20. Hereby, the cover 20 can only be removed from the base part 2 by lifting it vertically. The cover 20 is otherwise retained on the base part 2 in the mounted state by simple friction fit. However, the cover sheath 20 and the base portion 2 could also be provided with suitable snap-locking means, e.g. in the form of a projection on the inside of the cover 20 and a correspondingly shaped recess in the base part 2.

20 I fig. 5, 6, 7 og 8 ses toilethængslets dele fra forskellige vinkler. I den viste udførelsesform er basisdelen 2 fremstillet af sprøjtestøbt plast og dækkappen 20 af rustfrit stål. Den lodrette del af akseltappen 7 og den vandret forløbende hængseltap 8 er fremstillet ud i et af rustfrit stål, mens akseltappens foddel 24 er fremstillet af plast, der er samstøbt med akseltappen. Foddelen 24 har en høj-25 de, der svarer til højden af basisdelen 2. Som det især kan ses i fig. 4 og 8, har foddelen 24 en opadvendende anlægsflade 12, der forløber hele vejen rundt om foddelen. Anlægsfladen 12 er forsynet med opadvendende savtakformede fremspring 14. I den viste udførelsesform er der fire fremspring 14 med indbyrdes mellemrum på 90°, men der kunne være flere eller færre fremspring 14. I 30 fig. 7 ses basisdelen 2 nedefra. Basisdelens underside 3 er beregnet til at ligge an mod toiletkummens 18 overflade 19. Et akseltaphul 9 er beregnet til optagelse af akseltappens 7 foddel 24. Som det kan ses, har akseltaphullet 9 en ne-dadvendende anlægsflade 11 med savtakformede fordybninger, hvis geometri i 7 DK 176340 B1 det væsentlige svarer til de savtakformede fremspring 14. Der er tilvejebragt et større antal fordybninger 13 rundt langs hele anlægsfladen 11.1 den viste udførelsesform er der ca. 20 fordybninger, men dette tal kan naturligvis varieres. Umiddelbart før montering af toilethængslet på toiletkummen føres akseltappen 5 7 gennem akseltaphullet 9. Akseltappens 7 hængseltap 8 positioneres med den ønskede orientering i forhold til basisdelen 2, inden akseltappens foddel 24 føres helt ind i akseltaphullet 9, hvorved fremspringene 14 kommer i indgreb med fordybningerne 13. Herved kommer foddelens 24 underside til at ligge nogenlunde i plan med basisdelens 2 underside 3. Herefter kan basisdelen fastgøres 10 til toiletkummen ved at føre monteringsbolten 4, der er vist i fig. 2, gennem slidsen 10 og videre gennem fastgørelseshullet 22 i toiletkummen, hvorefter spændskiven 6 og møtrikken 5 anbringes på boltens 4 ende, der rager ud under toiletkummens flange. Inden møtrikken 5 spændes helt, positioneres basisdelen 2 i den ønskede position. Efter fastgørelsen, kan dækkappen 20 anbringes på 15 basisdelen 2, så at slidsen 20 og boltens 4 hoved skjules.In FIG. 5, 6, 7 and 8, the parts of the toilet hinge are viewed from different angles. In the embodiment shown, the base part 2 is made of injection molded plastic and the cover cap 20 is made of stainless steel. The vertical portion of the shaft pin 7 and the horizontally extending hinge pin 8 are made of one of stainless steel, while the base portion 24 of the shaft pin is made of plastics embedded with the shaft pin. The foot portion 24 has a height 25 corresponding to the height of the base portion 2. As can be seen in particular in FIG. 4 and 8, the foot portion 24 has an upwardly facing abutment surface 12 extending all the way around the foot portion. The abutment surface 12 is provided with upwardly directed saw-shaped projections 14. In the embodiment shown, there are four projections 14 at 90 ° apart, but there may be more or fewer projections 14. In FIG. 7, the base part 2 is seen from below. The underside 3 of the base member is intended to abut the surface 19 of the toilet bowl 18. A shaft pin 9 is intended to receive the foot portion 24 of the shaft pin 7. As can be seen, the shaft pin hole 9 has an abutting abutment surface 11 with saw-shaped recesses whose geometry of 7 DK 176340 B1 substantially corresponds to the saw-shaped projections 14. A large number of recesses 13 are provided around the entire abutment surface 11.1. 20 recesses, but this number can of course be varied. Immediately prior to mounting the toilet hinge on the toilet bowl, the shaft pin 7 7 is passed through the shaft pin 9. The shaft pin 8 of the shaft 7 is positioned in the desired orientation relative to the base portion 2, before the foot portion 24 of the shaft pin is fully inserted into the shaft pin 9 whereby the projections 14 engage the recesses 13. Hereby, the underside of the foot portion 24 will be approximately aligned with the underside of the base member 2. Subsequently, the base member 10 can be secured to the toilet bowl by passing the mounting bolt 4 shown in FIG. 2, through the slot 10 and further through the mounting hole 22 in the toilet bowl, after which the washer 6 and the nut 5 are placed on the end of the bolt 4 which protrudes below the flange of the toilet bowl. Before fully tightening nut 5, base member 2 is positioned in the desired position. After attaching, the cover 20 may be placed on the base portion 2 so that the slot 20 and the head of the bolt 4 are concealed.

Som følge af foddelens 24 og akseltaphullets 9 diameter, der er større end diameteren af den del af akseltappen, der rager op over basisdelen 2, kan akseltappen med den vinklede hængseltap 8 føres ubesværet gennem akseltaphullet 20 9.Due to the diameter of the foot portion 24 and the shaft pin hole 9 which is larger than the diameter of the portion of the shaft pin projecting above the base portion 2, the shaft pin with the angled hinge pin 8 can be passed effortlessly through the shaft pin hole 20 9.

Hængseltappen 8 er nær sin frie ende forsynet med en rundtgående reces 25, der tjener til fastgørelse af toiletafdækningens 15 hængselorganer, så at disse ikke så let kan forskydes i forhold til hængseltappen 8 i dennes længderetning.The hinge pin 8 is provided near its free end with a circumferential recess 25 which serves to secure the hinge members of the toilet cover 15 so that they cannot be so easily displaced relative to the hinge pin 8 in its longitudinal direction.

Opfindelsen er ikke begrænset til den her viste udførelsesform. Alle delene kunne være fremstillet af plast eller metal, især rustfrit stål. Akseftappen 7 behøver ikke at være forsynet med den vinklede hængseltap 8, men kunne være udformet således, at den udelukkende forløber lodret og ved sin ende er forsy-30 net med organer, så at yderligere separate hængselsorganer, der fastlægger en vandret hængselakse, kan monteres på akseltappen 7.The invention is not limited to the embodiment shown here. All the parts could be made of plastic or metal, especially stainless steel. The shaft pin 7 need not be provided with the angled hinge pin 8, but could be designed so that it extends exclusively vertically and at its end is provided with means so that additional separate hinge means defining a horizontal hinge axis can be mounted. on the shaft 7.

8 DK 176340 B1 I den viste udførelsesform er hængseltappen 7 forsynet med opadvendende fremspring 14 og akseltaphullet 9 med tilsvarende udformede fordybninger. Det omvendte kunne imidlertid også være tilfældet, dvs. hængseltappen 7 kunne være forsynet med fordybninger og akseltaphullet 9 være forsynet med frem-5 spring. Ligeledes kunne fremspringene og fordybningerne have en anden udformning end den viste savtakform.In the illustrated embodiment, the hinge pin 7 is provided with upwardly extending projections 14 and the shaft pin hole 9 with correspondingly shaped recesses. However, the reverse could also be the case, viz. the hinge pin 7 could be provided with recesses and the shaft pin 9 provided with projections. Likewise, the projections and recesses could have a different design from the sawtooth shape shown.

Den viste udførelsesform giver særdeles gode indstillingsmuligheder, idet akseltappen kan fikseres i en afstand fra toiletkummens monteringshul, der ligger in-10 den for afstanden mellem akseltaphullet 9 og henholdsvis den nærmeste og den fjerneste ende af slidsen 10. Ifølge en anden udførelsesform kunne basisdelen i stedet for en aflang monteringsslids 10 være forsynet med et simpelt rundt monteringshul. I dette tilfælde ville akseltappen kunne fikseres på en vilkårlig position langs en cirkel omkring toiletkummens monteringshul, hvilken cir-15 kel har en radius, der svarer til afstanden mellem akseltaphullet 9 og monteringshullet 10.The embodiment shown provides very good adjustment possibilities, the shaft pin being fixed at a distance from the toilet bowl mounting hole, which lies within the distance between the shaft pin hole 9 and the nearest and farthest end of the slot 10. According to another embodiment, the base part could instead for an elongated mounting slot 10 be provided with a simple round mounting hole. In this case, the shaft pin could be fixed at any position along a circle around the toilet hole mounting hole, which circle has a radius corresponding to the distance between the shaft pin hole 9 and the mounting hole 10.

Ifølge en alternativ udførelsesform kunne foddelen 24 have et polygonalt tværsnit i området over eller under dens anlægsflade 12. I dette tilfælde skulle ak-20 selhullet 9 have et tilsvarende polygonalt tværsnit i området over eller under dettes anlægsflade 11.According to an alternative embodiment, the foot portion 24 could have a polygonal cross-section in the region above or below its abutment surface 12. In this case, the shaft hole 9 should have a corresponding polygonal cross-section in the area above or below its abutment surface 11.

Ifølge endnu et alternativ kunne foddelen 24 og akselhullet 9 være koniske eller have koniske områder med en tilspidsning i retning af basisdelens overside.According to yet another alternative, the foot portion 24 and the shaft hole 9 could be tapered or have tapered areas with a taper toward the top of the base portion.

Foddelen kan fortrinsvis fastholdes i akselhullet ved en let prespasning, så at vinkelindstillingen fastholdes inden fastspændingen til toiletkummen. Alternativt kan basisdelen omfatte en løsbar bundplade, der fastgøres til undersiden af basisdelen og således fastholde akseltappen i låsepositionen.Preferably, the foot portion can be retained in the shaft hole by a slight press fit so that the angular adjustment is maintained before clamping to the toilet bowl. Alternatively, the base member may comprise a detachable base plate which attaches to the underside of the base member and thus retain the shaft pin in the locking position.
