Title: Covering piece for a water closet assembly

Abstract: The invention provides an aesthetic covering piece or bridging means between a toilet bowl and the associated flush tank to give a unitary appearance, to facilitate cleaning and to improve hygiene, the single bridging means cooperating with alternative tank covers without being supported by the tank or tank cover. The bridging cover-piece slides in adjustable relationship with respect to a supporting bracket which is fixed to the wall below the flush tank and which may support the tank, if desired. The bridging cover-piece can therefore be fitted without cutting to size or alteration. The form of the cooperating supporting bracket depends upon whether the assembly uses a light-weight tank cover or a heavy vitreous china cover. The bridging cover-piece and supporting bracket may be used in conjunction with suitable existing tanks and tank covers.
