Definitions

  • the object of the invention is a means for fixing items, especially combinations of mirrors, to a wall.
  • the fixing means consists of a base, on the outer face of which there are supports to receive the item or items to be fixed, and of a face part co-operating with the base, fitted in such a way that it will be fixed on the base when the item or items are fixed to the wall.
  • a standard fixing means has one disadvantage: it can only be used in fixing mirrors of a certain thickness, for the height of the gap between the base and the face part is constant. Therefore one must use various fixing means, the fixing gaps of which have a height corresponding to the thickness of the plate in question.
  • a fixing means is known from US-A-3049323 in which a pillar (or base part) is screwed to a wall, a mirror put in place and then a clamping knob (or face part) is screw- threaded onto the pillar until the mirror is held between the pillar and the knob.
  • the purpose of this invention is to remove the known disadvantages of the present standard technique referred to above and to raise the level of the technique in general.
  • a two-part fixing means the base of which can be fixed to a wall by means of either screws or nails, the face part being fastened to the base by a stepped quick fixing arrangement so that the height of the fixing gap of the fixing means corresponds to the thickness of the mirrors of the settings in question.
  • Figure 1 shows a part of a mirror combination that has been put together by means of the fixing means 2 according to the invention.
  • the corners of four mirrors 1 touching the fixing means 2 are fixed by means of the fixing means 2.
  • the base 3 of the fixing means 2 is fixed to a wall 4, for instance, by means of nails 5 and a screw 6, in which case the screw is fitted with an anchor plug 7. It is, of course, possible to fix the base with either nails or a screw only, or, according to the figure, it is possible to fix the base to wall materials of different thickness and quality, such as concrete elements, brick walls, chip and hard board walls, metal sheets, and so on. Thus, it is always possible to choose the most suitable way of fixing the base, according to the wall material.
  • the face part 9 has been fixed to the base 3 by means of spigot-like stepped quick fixing, when the mirrors or corresponding surface elements 1 fix in their places.
  • stepped quick fixing is that surface coverings of different thickness can be fixed by the means of the fixing means.
  • Stepped adjustability is in this application acquired by means of grooving in the spigots of the face part, which are inserted in corresponding apertures with similar grooving on the base.
  • the structure of the base can be seen more exactly in Figure 3.
  • the base consists of a circular base plate 10, on which there are four radial support parts 11 which are quadrangular in cross-section, radially extending from the centre of the base plate and equiangularly spaced.
  • a throughway aperture 12 for fixing the base to the wall with a screw.
  • the support parts have grooved apertures 13 and throughway apertures for the nailing of the base.
  • the ends of the support parts 11 form 45° angles 15 symmetrical in relation to the longitudinal axis.
  • the fixing means offers various possibilities especially for mirror combinations, but the fixing means can be used as well for fixing other wall surface coverings.
  • the embodiments of the invention can vary within the limits of the enclosed patent claims.
