A framework for fastening plumbing units, comprising:
- a vertical support column, a telescopically height-adjustable foot inserted into said vertical support column and connected to said vertical support column;
- and an adjusting member which is self-supporting at said foot, said adjusting member being adjustable in height along said support column in said foot, said vertical support column being supported to said foot by said adjusting member in a height-adjustable manner, said adjusting member includes self-holding locking means for detachably longitudinally fastening said adjusting member inside said foot at a preselecting locking position, wherein said vertical support column has a longitudinal slot and said foot has a longitudinal slot, said longitudinal slot of said support column and said longitudinal slot of said foot overlapping each other, said adjusting member being located in said foot and having a projecting arm longitudinally spaced apart from said self-holding locking means extending outwardly and passing through said longitudinal slot of said support column and passing through said longitudinal slot of said foot, and said support column being supported in a height-adjustable manner on said projecting arm corresponding to said self-holding means, said self-holding locking means being movable between a lock and unlock position for locking and unlocking said foot from said support column respectively, said locking means including a leaf spring for biasing and locking means in said lock position.
A framework for fastening plumbing units comprising:
- a vertical support column with a longitudinal slot;
- a telescopically height-adjustable foot inserted into said vertical support column and connected to said vertical support column, said foot having a longitudinal slot;
- an adjusting member which is self-supporting at said foot, said adjusting member being adjustable in height along said support column in said foot, said vertical support column being supported to said foot by said adjusting member in a height-adjustable manner, said adjusting member includes self-holding locking means for detachably fastening said adjusting member to said foot and having a projecting arm longitudinally spaced apart from said self-holding locking means extending outwardly to pass through said longitudinal slot of said support column and through said longitudinal slot of said foot;
- an adjusting screw for adjusting a height position of said vertical support column in relation to said foot, said adjusting screw engaging said projecting arm to form a fine adjustment corresponding said self-holding locking means for adjusting a height position of said vertical support column.
