Abstract

A fitting mount for a vehicle washroom, which comprises an adapter element and a basic mount. The adapter element has a coupling device, at least one opening, which is configured to receive a fitting component, and a circumferential guide surface. The basic mount has a first attachment device for attaching the basic mount, a second attachment device, which is configured to be coupled to the coupling device of the adapter element and to be attached detachably to this, and an internal guide surface, which is configured to at least partially enclose the circumferential guide surface of the adapter element.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A fitting mount for a vehicle washroom, comprising:
an adapter element with
a coupling device,
at least one opening, which is configured to receive a fitting component, and
a circumferential guide surface;

a basic mount with
a first attachment device for attachment of the basic mount,
a second attachment device, which is configured to be coupled to the coupling device of the adapter element and to be attached detachably to this, and
an internal guide surface, which is configured to at least partially enclose the circumferential guide surface of the adapter element; and

a covering panel, which is configured to be affixed between the adapter element and a fitting.

2. The fitting mount according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one opening of the adapter element is further configured to receive the fitting component in a form-fit manner.

3. The fitting mount according to claim 1 , wherein the fitting component is attached via a fastener to the adapter element.

4. The fitting mount according to claim 1 , wherein the fitting component is at least one of a water pipe or electric cable, which is led at least partially through the at least one opening of the adapter element.

5. The fitting mount according to claim 4 , wherein the fitting is a water-dispensing fitting and can be attached to the water pipe or electric cable, wherein the adapter element further has a support surface for the direct or indirect coupling of the fitting to the adapter element.

6. The fitting mount according to claim 1 , wherein the second attachment device of the basic mount and the coupling device of the adapter element have at least one of corresponding guide surfaces or openings for receiving a fastener.

7. The fitting mount according to claim 1 , wherein the adapter element has at least one projection and the covering panel has at least one corresponding receptacle, into which a projection respectively protrudes when the covering panel is affixed on the adapter element.

8. The fitting mount according to claim 1 , wherein the covering panel has at least one opening, which is configured to receive a fitting component, wherein the at least one opening corresponds respectively to one of the at least one opening of the adapter element when the covering panel is affixed on the adapter element.

9. The fitting mount according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a fitting connection element, which is configured to be introduced at least partially into the fitting and to be attached to the fitting,
wherein the fitting connection element is further configured to be attached to the adapter element.

10. The fitting mount according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a fitting connection element, which is configured to be introduced at least partially into the fitting and to be attached to the fitting,
wherein the fitting connection element is further configured to be attached to the covering panel.

11. The fitting mount according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a fitting connection element, which is configured to be introduced at least partially into the fitting and to be attached to the fitting,
wherein the fitting connection element is formed in one piece with the covering panel.

12. The fitting mount according to claim 1 , further comprising a seal, which is arranged between the adapter element and the covering panel.

13. The fitting mount according to claim 12 , wherein the seal has a thickening, which is configured to be laid in a form-fit manner into a corresponding depression of the adapter element.

14. The fitting mount according to claim 12 , wherein the seal has a continuation, which is configured to at least partially encompass the basic mount.

15. The fitting mount according to claim 12 , wherein the seal has a continuation, which is configured to at least partially encompass the adapter element.

16. A vehicle washroom, comprising a fitting mount according to claim 1 .

17. A vehicle with a fitting mount according to claim 1 .

18. A fitting mount for a vehicle washroom, comprising:
an adapter element with
a coupling device,
at least one opening, which is configured to receive a fitting component, and
a circumferential guide surface; and

a basic mount with
a first attachment device for attachment of the basic mount,
a second attachment device, which is configured to be coupled to the coupling device of the adapter element and to be attached detachably to this, and
an internal guide surface, which is configured to at least partially enclose the circumferential guide surface of the adapter element,

wherein the circumferential guide surface of the adapter element extends outwardly at an angle to a disc-shaped portion of the adapter element and the internal guide surface of the basic mount is formed by an outwardly extending flange on a disc-shaped portion of the basic mount.
