SUPPORT DEVICE FOR A SANITARY ELEMENT

The invention relates to a support device (1) for a sanitary element (10), in particular a toilet bowl, a urinal basin, a bidet, or a washstand, comprising a first support (2) which has first fixing elements (2.1) for statically mounting the first support (2) on a structure and second fixing elements (2.2) for attaching a flush tank (3) to the first support (2). The support device also comprises a second support (4) which has third fixing elements (4.1) for attaching the sanitary element (10) to the second support (4), said second support (4) being connected to the first support (2) in a movable manner between a first upper position (I) and a second lower position (II) which is spaced from the first upper position in the direction of gravity (X). The second support (4) can be locked at least in the first upper position (I) and in the second lower position (II). The aim of the invention is to offer the highest possible level of comfort while keeping initial costs as low as possible. According to the invention, this is achieved in that at least one spring (5, 51) which acts against the direction of gravity (X) is arranged between the first support (2) and the second support (4). One end (5.1, 5.1') of the spring is connected to the first support (2), and the other end (5.2, 5.2') is connected to the second support (4). The invention further relates to a sanitary device with such a support device (1).
