Abstract

For the purpose of attaching the frame (1) to the tank (6), the tank (6) has on the outer side niches (18) which are widened inwardly. Opposite each of the niches (18) the frame (1) has an opening (4). Connecting members (9) are each snapped into an opening (4) and engage at an inner end into a niche (18). Wedges or pins (10) driven into a recess (13) fix a tenon (17) engaging the niche (18) from behind. Simple and automatable operations suffice for the installation.
