Abstract
A structure is comprising at least one plank (2) attached with a side to an edge of at least one joist (3) by means of at least one mount (4). The at least one mount is with at least two first openings (7, 7') at either side of the edge of the at least one joist and at least one other opening (8) above said edge. The structure is quick and easy to assemble. The assembling is strong and durable and do not involve any safety risk for the users. It also has a pleasant aesthetic appearance and can be made of hard wood.
Description
The invention relates to a structure comprising t least one plank with an underside attached generally trans ersely to a topside of at least one joist, at least one ount placed between said underside of the at least one pl k and said topside of the at least one ioist, a base of the t least one mount with at least one first attachment hol !, which is communicating with the underside of the at least ob plank., ,;.
Structures of this kind are widely used for exampl! for floors in terraces, hoardings and pallets. ~
The Joist forms a bearing part of the structur`. It has a relatively large height for being able to obtain tifie necessary moment of resistance against being bent. The thic ess of the joist may be smaller than the width of the planksi The planks are norm1ly attached to the joists with a littl distance in between.
Such structures have traditionally been assembled,by means of nails or screws, which however can work up above t'e surface of the plank-and cause a safety risk. The screws r nails can.
moreover be seen and detract from the aesthetic ppearance of the structure and sometimes they also can discolo the area of the structure surrounding the nails or screws.
~:.
in order to avoid these problems angular bracke s have been used for. assembling the structures. The assembling:;operation by means of such brackets is however difficult and tiuiI,e-consuming.
Mounts in form of plates with serrated edges are'wkl known and can be used by being hammered into planks and ~oists to be assembled. The obtained connections are however re!'atively week and the operations difficult to carry out. Theseknown mounts cannot be used when the structure is made of hard Wood.

Claims (17)
1. A structure comprising, - at least one plank (2;18,19,20) with an underside attached generally transversely to a topside of at least one joist (3;21), - at least one mount (4) placed between said underside of the at least one plank and said topside of the at least one joist, and - a base (5;11) of the at least one mount with at least one first attachment hole (7,71;13)1, which is communicating with the underside of the at least one plank, characterized in - that at least one projection (6;12) is formed on the base (5;11) of the at least one mount and is offset from a middle line M across the base (5;11), which at least one projection (6;12) has at least one second attachment hole (8;15) communicating with the topside of the at least one joist (3;21), and that said at least one second attachment hole (8;15) is offset from the middle line of the topside of the at least one joist (3,21).
2. A structure according to claim 1, characterized in that at least one hook (10;14) is formed on the base (5;11) of the at least one mount at an angle of preferable about 90 degrees.
3. A structure according to claim 1 or 2, characterized in that the at least one second attachment hole (8) is communicating with an area of the topside of the at least one joist (3) placed in the space between opposite edges of two neighbouring planks (2).
4. A structure according to claim 1 or 2, characterized in, characterized in that the at least one second attachment hole (15) is communicating with an area of the topside of the joist (21) placed outside the space between opposite edges of two neighbouring planks (18,19,20).
5. A structure according to any of the claims 1-4, characterized in that the space between two neighbouring planks (2;18,19,20) corresponds to or is larger than the thickness of the at least one hook (10;14) on the at least one mount.
6.
