Abstract: A joint arrangement for the pivotable mounting of a lid, a seat or a seat/lid fitting about a pivot axis on a ceramic sanitary article, which joint arrangement comprises an elongate fastening element which is intended to be arranged on the sanitary article, a bearing element having a passage bore through which the fastening element is intended to engage, and a damper element which damps the pivoting movement and has a connecting element, which likewise has a passage bore into which the fastening element engages or through which said fastening element engages and which fits on the bearing element in the assembled position, wherein the bearing element has a retaining portion which receives the connecting element in a form-fitting manner.

Abstract: A sanitary facility formed as a toilet, including a body with an upwardly open bowl, a water chamber provided in the region of the upper rim of the bowl, to project horizontally into the bowl. Wherein at least one flushing opening on the chamber side directed downwardly into the bowl. At least one connection portion is provided in the rear region of the body for connecting a flushing-water feed line for feeding flushing water into the water chamber, from which the water flows into the bowl via the chamber-side flushing opening. The water chamber extends only in a rear rim region. A second and a third flushing opening are each able to be supplied with flushing water and allow the flushing water to be introduced tangentially into the bowl. The third flushing opening is positioned closer to the front side of the body than the second flushing opening.

Abstract: A sanitary installation, including a ceramic or porcelain wash basin or wash stand and a vanity unit, wherein the vanity unit has at least one pull-out drawer having two side walls and a front wall, wherein the shape of the side walls and of the front wall conforms to the shape of the front and side end faces of the wash basin or wash stand, wherein the end faces are aligned with the side walls and the front wall, and wherein the side walls, the front wall and the end faces are coated with a veneer, applied via an adhesive bond, or with a paint.

Abstract: A sanitary fixture having a body with an upwardly open pan region. A water chamber is provided in the region of the upper rim of the pan region and, when viewed horizontally, protrudes into the pan region. At least one flushing opening oriented downwardly into the pan region is provided on the chamber side. At least one connecting portion is provided in the rear region of the body for connecting a flushing water supply pipe for supplying flushing water into the water chamber, the flushing water flowing therefrom into the pan region via the at least one flushing opening on the chamber side. The water chamber extends only in a rear rim region. At least one second flushing opening is provided oriented to the front to permit a tangential flushing of the water into the pan region and is able to be supplied with flushing water.

Abstract: An apparatus for analyzing urine, including: a feeding and discharging device that delivers a quantity of urine into an analysis chamber of a urine test strip and discharges a quantity of urine from an analysis chamber of a urine test strip, the analysis chamber having an analysis zone. The feeding and discharging device includes a movably mounted feeding and/or discharging element for delivering a quantity of urine into a delivery zone in the analysis chamber and/or discharging a quantity of urine from a discharge zone in the analysis chamber. A detection device detects an at least sectoral variation of an optically detectable parameter, which varies in an optically detectable manner in accordance with the composition of a quantity of urine that contacts the analysis zone and produces detection data describing at least one optically detected parameter in the analysis zone or a variation of such a parameter.
