Abstract

Apparatus for the fixation and support of the rims of bath and shower tubs relative to a wall of a construction in a manner decoupled from structure-borne noise. The apparatus includes a fixing element secured to the wall and has a support surface for a rim of a tub. A fixing screw is screwed into the fixing element and a first insulating material is arranged between the wall and the tub rim. A second insulating material is arranged between the support surface and the tub rim while a third insulating material is secured to an end of the fixing screw and contacts against the inner side of the tub rim.
