Description
[0022] The invention and the technical environment are explained in more detail below with reference to the figures. It should be noted that the figures show particularly preferred variants of the embodiment of the invention, but the invention is not limited thereto. The same reference numerals are used for the same components in the figures. Schematically:
[0023] FIG. 1 shows a first perspective representation of a first embodiment variant of a device; and
[0024] FIG. 2 shows a second perspective representation of the second embodiment variant of a device;
[0025] FIG. 3 shows a metal mesh of the first embodiment variant of the device; and
[0026] FIG. 4 shows a second embodiment variant of a device.
[0027] FIG. 1 shows a first perspective representation of a first embodiment variant of a device 1 viewed towards a front end 12. The device 1 comprises a mounting plate 2, which is designed in the manner of a mounting disk. The mounting plate 2 is round in shape and extends along a longitudinal axis 13. Furthermore, the mounting plate 2 is designed as an integrally formed plastic injection molded part. The device 1 or mounting plate 2 has (orthogonal to the longitudinal axis 13) a diameter 15 and (in parallel to the longitudinal axis 13) a thickness 16. Furthermore, the device 1 comprises a metal mesh 4, which is cast into the mounting plate 2 except in the area of the breather holes 14.1, . . . , 14.8. The metal mesh 4 is of the wire mesh type and extends in a plane oriented orthogonally to the longitudinal axis 12. FIG. 2 shows the first embodiment variant of the device 1 in a second perspective representation viewed towards a contact surface 8, which extends annularly around the longitudinal axis 13 of the device 1. When the device 1 is attached to a support not shown here, the contact surface 8 of the device 1 is positioned at the support. The contact surface 8 is formed on an end face 17 of the device 1 or of the mounting plate 2 and may have an adhesive, for instance in the form of a double-sided adhesive tape, for pre-attaching the device 1 to the support. Furthermore, the mounting plate 2 has an adherend 3, which is partially formed by the metal mesh 4. The adherend 3 extends within the annular contact surface 8 and (mainly) orthogonally to the longitudinal axis 13, Furthermore, the adherend 3 is formed within the mounting plate 2 such that the adherend 3 (in parallel to the longitudinal axis 13) is spaced apart from the contact surface 8. As a result, the adherend 3 is not in contact with the support when the contact surface 8 of the device 1 is disposed on the support. Starting from the contact surface 8 or the end face 17, the adherend 3 is formed at a depth (extending in parallel to the longitudinal axis 13) of the mounting plate 2. The adherend 3 delimits a receiving space 7 for an adhesive (not shown here), wherein the receiving space 7 extends in a cylindrical shape from the adherend 3 in parallel to the longitudinal axis 13 to the contact surface 8. After arranging the contact surface 8 of the device 1 on the support, an adhesive can be injected into the receiving space 7 via a feed opening 9 (also shown in FIG. 1), which extends in parallel and coaxially to the longitudinal axis 13. Because the adherend 3 or the receiving space 7 can be ventilated via the breather holes 14.1, . . . 14.8, the adhesive can cure particularly quickly, In addition, the adhesive can flow from the receiving space 7 through the metal mesh 4 towards the front end 12 shown in FIG. 1, such that the adhesive can form a composite material with the metal grid 4. In addition, the mounting plate 2 has two first mounting devices 10.1, 10.2, which are designed in the manner of drilled holes extending in parallel to the longitudinal axis 13. The mounting devices 10.1, 10,2 can be used to additionally mount the device 1 to the support using screws. In addition, the mounting plate 2 has two second mounting devices 11, one of which is visible in FIG. 1. The two second mounting devices 11 are designed in the manner of snap-in contours, to which a sanitary component (not shown here) can be fastened.
[0028] FIG. 3 shows a front view of the metal mesh 4 of the device 1 of FIGS. 1 and 2. The metal mesh 4 has cutouts 18,1, 18,2, 18.3 for the first mounting devices 10.1, 10.2 and the feed opening 9 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.
[0029] FIG. 4 shows a perspective representation of a second embodiment variant of the device 1. The second embodiment variant of the device 1 differs from the first embodiment variant of the device 1 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 only in that the mounting plate 2 comprises a first (mainly) round plate part 5 and a second (mainly) round plate part 6. The first plate part 5 and the second plate part 6 are arranged side by side in the direction of the longitudinal axis 13 and contact each other in a contact plane 19. Furthermore, the first plate part 5 and the second plate part 6 are interconnected using a snap connection, such that the metal mesh 4 is clamped between the first plate part 5 and the second plate part 6 of the mounting plate 2. In all other respects, the second embodiment variant of the device 1 is configured identically to the first embodiment variant of the device 1 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, such that reference is made to the description of the first embodiment variant of the device 1 for further details.
[0030] The device is characterized in particular by high durability at the support.
