Description
~ 3 ~
The present invention relates to brick cladding for buildings.
There are known several systems for applying a brick cladding to an existing wall surface or frame. These previous systems have included difficulties including problems associated with the installation of each brick tile, as well as failing to secure the brick tile in position. Still further, previously known systems have been generally time consuming in respect oF the installation of the brick tiles.
It is the object of the present invention to overcome or substantially ameliorate the above disadvantages.
There is disclosed herein a mounting plate for a brick cladding assembly, which assembly includes a plurality of tiles to be supported by the plate, with each tile having a pair of parallel edge faces, and with each edge face having a slot so that the slots are parallel, said plate being of a generally planar rectangular configuration, and having a plurality of mounting flanges extending from the general plane of the plate and adapted to supportably engage the tiles by engagement within the slots thereof, and wherein the mounting flanges comprise two sets of flanges, each set of flanges extending along a line so that the two lines of flanges are generally parallel, a first one of said sets including flanges with inclined flange portions projecting at an acute angle away from the general plane of the plate so that upon instaliation of one of the tiles thereon by location within one of the slots thereof, the flange portion is resiliently deformed to securely engage the tile when the other slot thereof is engaged with a~corresponding one of the flanges of the other set.
A preferred form of the present invention will now be described by way of exampie~with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein:
Figure 1 is a schematic perspective view of a mounting plate of a brick cladding assembly;
Figure 2 is a~schematic front elevation of the plate of Figure l;

Figure 3 is a schematic rear elevation of the plate of Figure l;
Figures 4 and 5 are schematic side elevations of the plate of Figure 1 ;
Figure 6 is a schematic end elevation of the plate of Figure l; and Figures 7 and 8 are schematic end elevations of the plate of Figure 1.
In the accompanying drawings there is schematically depicted a mounting plate 10 for a brick cladding assembly. The mounting plate 10 is designed to be mounted on an existing wall surface, or alternatively upon a building frame. The mounting plate 10 is adapted to supportably receive a plurality of "brick" tiles 11.
The tiles 11 are manufactured from "face bricks" by having the face portion of the brick sawn therefrom so as to provide the tile 11. The longitudinal edges of the tile are further sawn so as to provide a pair of longitudinal slots 12 and 13.
The plate 10 is formed from a strip of metal (iron) which would preferably be treated to inhibit oxidising. The strip of iron is punched or otherwise deformed so as to have a plurality of flanges 14 and 15, with the flanges 15 providing a first set of flanges, and the flanges 14 providing a second set of flanges. The set of flanges 14 are arranged in parallel rows as are the set of flanges 15. Still further, the flanges 14 and i5 are arranged in opposing pairs.
As best seen in Figures 6, 7 and 8, the flanges 14 are of an "L-shaped" configuration so as to have a base portion 16 projecting generally normal to-the main plane of the plate 10, and a tile engaging lip 17 projecting generally parallel to the main plane of the plate 10. The flanges 15 each have a base portion 18 and a lip 19. The lip 19 first extends in a direction generally parallel to the plane of the piate 10, and then turns outward at an acute angle to the major plane of the plate 10.
In use of the plate 10, the plate 10 is fixed to the frame or surface :` :

of a building. The plate 10 is generally oriented in a vertical plane and has its longitudinal direction of extension generally horizontal. The tiles 11 are installed by first placing the slot 12 over the lip 19 of the flange or flanges 15 to support the tile 11. Thereafter, the tile 11 is pivotted towards the main body of the plate 10 deforming the lip 19 resiliently. The tile 11 once in a position adjacent the main body of the plate 10, has its slot 13 vertically aligned with the lip 17 of an associated flange 14. Thereafter, the tile 11 is moved downward so that the lip 17 is engaged within the slot 13.
By resiliently deforming the lip 19, the tile 11 is retained securely in position.
