  • Patent number: 12029357
    Abstract: A fastening system for the fastening of a sanitary article comprising a carrier element, at least one upper stop portion which lies on the carrier element and which strikes against an upper stop of the sanitary article, at least one lower stop portion which lies on the carrier element and which strikes against a lower stop of the sanitary article, and at least one clamping element. At least one of the stop portions is mounted on the carrier element so as to be displaceable with respect to the carrier element, and is connected to the at least one clamping element in such a way that, as a result of actuation of the clamping element, the stop portion can be displaced in a direction of actuation such that the two stop portions can be braced between the two stops of the sanitary article.

  • Patent number: 11304573
    Abstract: A connection device for connecting a sanitary article to a connection structure which is fixedly predefined on site and which has at least one conduit which is arranged in a positionally fixed manner on site. The device comprises a bearing element having at least one bearing-side pipeline portion, which pipeline portion is arranged on the bearing element and is configured for water-conducting connection to the positionally fixedly arranged on-site conduit and for water-conducting connection to a sanitary-article-side connection point. For the adjustment of the position, in particular of the height position, of the sanitary article with respect to the connection structure which is fixedly predefined on site, the bearing element is arranged displaceable on the sanitary article such that it can be displaced along an adjustment movement relative to the sanitary article.

  • Patent number: 8459478
    Abstract: The self-opening closure includes a pouring spout (10), which can be assembled leak-proof on a combipack or a container spout sealed with foil material, twist cap (9) and a self-opening sleeve (1) arranged inside the pouring spout, which can be made to rotate by the twist cap. The self-opening sleeve forms on its upper edge an indentation (4), which becomes smaller towards the bottom edge (6) and tapers off into the same. There are guiding means present on the outer side of the self-opening sleeve and on the inner side of the pouring spout so that the self-opening sleeve is guided downwards by rotation on the pouring spout. The indentation (4) lies partially inside the pouring spout and partially below the same after unscrewing of the cover cap and forms an air inlet channel, which results in a steady outpour of the liquid content of a combipack.

  • Publication number: 20100237073
    Abstract: The self-opening closure consists of a pouring spout (10), which can be assembled leak-proof on a combipack or on a container spout to be sealed with foil material, appropriate twist cap (9) as well as a self-opening sleeve (1) arranged inside the pouring spout (10). This can be made to rotate by the twist cap (9). The self-opening sleeve (1) forms on its upper edge an indentation (4), which becomes smaller towards the bottom edge (6) and tapers off into the same. There are guiding means present on the outer side of the self-opening sleeve (1) and on the inner side of the pouring spout (10) so that the self-opening sleeve (1) is guided downwards by the rotation on the pouring spout (10). The indentation (4) lies partially inside the pouring spout (10) and partially below the same after the unscrewing of the cover cap and forms an air inlet channel, which results in a steady outpour during the pouring out of the liquid content of a combipack.
