Consiste básicamente de tres tubos metálicos o de acrílico o de otro material, curvados (FIG.1 : A, B y G; 3: A y B; 5: A y D), pudiendo ser tubulares, cúbicos o achatados, acoplados mediante unión en puntos delanteros (FIG.1 :C). Presenta un respaldo posterior (FIG.1: E), para evitar el contacto de la tapa del retrete con la parte posterior de la estructura metálica o acrílica, así como para proporcionar apoyo a las espaldas del usuario si desea sentarse con la tapa del retrete bajada. Este respaldo puede revestirse de cuero natural, cuero sintético o tejido. Presenta también como refuerzo estructural dos barras horizontales transversales a los tubos que forman los pies traseros (FIG.3: C, 5: B y C), una delantera y otra trasera en formato tubular, cúbico o achatado.It consists basically of three metal or acrylic or other material tubes, curved (FIG. 1: A, B and G; 3: A and B; 5: A and D), being able to be tubular, cubic or flattened, coupled by joining in front points (FIG. 1: C). It has a backrest (FIG. 1: E), to avoid contact of the toilet lid with the back of the metal or acrylic structure, as well as to provide support to the user's back if you want to sit with the toilet lid descent. This backrest can be covered with natural leather, synthetic leather or fabric. It also presents as two structural horizontal bars transverse to the tubes that form the rear feet (FIG. 3: C, 5: B and C), a front and a rear in a tubular, cubic or flattened format.

En las intersecciones de los tubos que forman los pies delanteros con los tubos que forman los pies traseros, tiene dos chapas de refuerzo estructural (FIG.3: D). Posee también un sistema de regulación de altura, fijado en los cuatro pies con tomillos (FIG.l: F).At the intersections of the tubes that form the front feet with the tubes that form the rear feet, it has two structural reinforcement plates (FIG. 3: D). It also has a height adjustment system, fixed on all four feet with thymes (FIG.l: F).

Si necesario, la fijación al suelo se hace por medio de ventosas (FIG.1 : D).If necessary, the fixation to the floor is done by means of suction cups (FIG. 1: D).

Con las mencionadas configuraciones, el objeto de la patente de invención, una disposición constructiva de apoyo para retrete, se aplica a todos los modelos de retretes existentes en el mercado.With the aforementioned configurations, the object of the invention patent, a constructive provision for toilet support, applies to all models of existing toilets in the market.

Es fácilmente desmontable mediante el desacoplamiento de las dos secciones existentes a la altura de los brazos de apoyo (Fig. 4: A) y la remoción de tornillos, reduciendo de forma acentuada su volumen para su posterior almacenamiento. Puede presentarse sin el respaldo posterior (Fig. 1 : E). Es fácilmente removible y transportable.It is easily removable by decoupling the two existing sections at the height of the support arms (Fig. 4: A) and the removal of screws, reducing in an accentuated way their volume for later storage. It can be presented without the backrest (Fig. 1: E). It is easily removable and transportable.

Puede presentar los más variados colores, dependiendo del entorno donde sea aplicada.It can present the most varied colors, depending on the environment where it is applied.

Como opción alternativa, la barra horizontal transversal trasera puede presentar una chapa rectangular con dos orificios para proporcionar fijación entre el asiento del retrete, el Apoyo para Retrete y el retrete (FIG.l l: C). Si necesario, puede adoptarse calces (FIG.13, 14 y 15), para ajustar el nivel del asiento en ese conjunto.As an alternative option, the horizontal rear transverse bar can have a rectangular sheet with two holes to provide fixation between the toilet seat, the Toilet Support and the toilet (FIG. 1: C). If necessary, shims can be adopted (FIG. 13, 14 and 15), to adjust the level of the seat in that set.

Como otra alternativa estructural, puede constituirse de sólo dos tubos metálicos o de acrílico o de otro material (FIG.7: A y B; 9: A y B; 11 : A y B), pudiendo ser tubulares, cúbicos o achatados, acoplados mediante unión en puntos delanteros (FIG.7: C). En este caso, el tubo que forma los pies traseros tiene su parte frontal especialmente achatada para no perjudicar la nivelación del asiento (FIG. 8). As another structural alternative, it can consist of only two metallic or acrylic or other material tubes (FIG. 7: A and B; 9: A and B; 11: A and B), being able to be tubular, cubic or flattened, coupled by joining in front points (FIG. 7: C). In this case, the tube that forms the rear feet has its front part especially flattened so as not to damage the leveling of the seat (FIG. 8).
