Definitions

  • the invention relates to a fastening means for mounting a plate optionally made of several small pieces of plate onto a substantially planar wall, said plate for instance being a mirror made of several small pieces of mirror or a relief made of several small pieces of relief.
  • Fastening means of this type are known for mounting compound mirrors onto a wall.
  • the wall When all the pieces of the mirror are to be on the same level, which is necessary for producing a correct reflection of the person looking at himself in the mirror, the wall must be completely planar.
  • the walls, onto which the mirrors are mounted, are, however, not always planar because of unevennesses in the layer of plaster or in case of walls of wood said unevennesses are caused by deformations on account of moisture or displacement of the boards.
  • the above problem may also arise when mounting a large plate of several smaller pieces of plate with a light-reflecting or gleaming surface such as for instance an enamelled surface.
  • a light-reflecting or gleaming surface such as for instance an enamelled surface.
  • the appearance of the large plate is disturbed because of the incorrect light-reflection of the incorrectly positioned piece of plate. It turned out that the human eye is very sensitive regarding noticing such errors.Furthermore a risk exists when mounting only one plate onto a not completely planar wall, namely of said plate presenting a skew surface which also causes undesired light-reflections.
  • rhe object of the invention is to provide a fastening means of the above type and allowing an easy mounting of the plate onto a not completely planar wall without involving the risk of said plate presenting a skew surface, and which furthermore implies that a plate made of several smaller pieces of plate forms a completely planar front surface without skew pieces of plate upon the mounting.
  • the fastening means is characterised in that it comprises a bottom member to be secured on the wall and an intermediary member secured on top of the bottom member, said intermediary member being adapted to cooperate with the bottom member in such a manner that the distance of its top surface from the bottom surface of the bottom member is adjustable, and whereby the intermediary member comprises projections for carrying and/or supporting the corners of the plate or the pieces of plate, as well as a cover situated on top of the intermediary member and engaging said intermediary member, and which serves to secure the plate, optionally the pieces of plate to the intermediary member.
  • the intermediary member comprises projections for carrying and/or supporting the corners of the plate or the pieces of plate, as well as a cover situated on top of the intermediary member and engaging said intermediary member, and which serves to secure the plate, optionally the pieces of plate to the intermediary member.
  • the four fastening means used for mounting the plate ensure that the top surface of the intermediary member of said fastening means is adjusted so as to be at a predetermined level in such a manner that the plate is only carried and/or supported by the fastening means.
  • the plate is not allowed to touch possible lopsidenesses on the wall.
  • a plate mounted in this manner is not presenting a skew surface when it is being mounted.
  • the bottom member may for instance be secured to the wall by means of pins.
  • the bottom member and intermediary member of a fastening means are initially mounted at each of the locations corresponding to the corner points of the plate mounted. Subsequently said intermediary members are adjusted in such a manner that their top surfaces are at one and the same level suitably spaced from the uneven wall. Finally the individual pieces of plate are mounted on the projections and the pieces of plate are fixedly pressed against the intermediary members by means of the covers.
  • the fastening means turned out to be particularly suited for mounting mirrors composed of smaller pieces of mirror, e.g. four such pieces of mirror. In the latter case nine fastening means are necessary.
  • the front surface of the completed mirror is nice uniform without the tendency of incorrect light-reflections and incorrect reflections of the person lookin q at himself in the mirror.
  • the adjustment of the distance between the top surface of the intermediary member and the bottom surface of the bottom member may be carried out in short steps. Such a procedure turned out in practice to allow a satisfactory mounting of the pieces of plate without each fastening means being too complicated.
  • the bottom side of the intermediary member may be provided with a recess receiving at least part of the bottom member.
  • the intermediary member may according to the invention - compared to the bottom member - be adjustable into a plurality of angular positions, preferably four, with a mutual distance of 90 , whereby it is easy to adjust each fastening means during the mounting procedure.
  • both the bottom member and the intermediary member may along both sides comprise a supporting engaging means with a plurality of step surfaces, whereby the bottom member reliably engages the intermediary member in such a manner that the intermediary member may form a solid base for the pieces of plate.
  • all the step surfaces on the engaging means of the bottom member may abut all the step surfaces of each of the engaging means of the intermediary member when said intermediary member is in a specific angular position, whereas only a minority of said step surfaces on each engaging means of the bottom member abut the corresponding step surfaces of each engaging means of the intermediary member in the remaining angular positions of said intermediary member, the distance of the top surface of the intermediary member to the bottom surface of the bottom member changing in said remaining angular positions.
  • This embodiment of the fastening means is particularly suited for mounting compound mirrors.
  • each engaging means may according to the invention comprise four step surfaces, viz. in a first low level, a second slightly higher level, a third still higher level, and a fourth highest level, and considerable changes in distances may exist between two neighboring step surfaces, whereby it is obtained in a simple manner that the top surface of the intermediary member is at various levels in the various angular positions of said intermediary member.
  • a further embodiment of the fastening means according to the invention is characterised in that the engaging means at the first side of the bottom member comprises step surfaces arranged in the follow- in g level sequence: First, second, third, and fourth level; that the engaging means at the second side of the bottom member comprises step surfaces arranged in the following level sequence: Fourth, first, second, and third level; that the engaging means at the third side of the bottom member comprises step surfaces arranged in the following level sequence: Third, fourth, first, and second level; and that the engaging means at the fourth side of the bottom member comprises step surfaces arranged in the follow- in g level sequence; Second, third, fourth, and first level, whereby the step surfaces of the opposing engaging means on the intermediary member comprise levels complementary to the step surface levels on the bottom member. In this manner a great constructional simplicity is obtained.
  • the first low level of the step surfaces may be fictive as it corresponds to the level of the bottom surface of the bottom member and is situated at an opening in the bottom member, whereby material is saved in connection with the bottom member.
  • the top side of the bottom member may comprise guide pins in each corner, said pins being adapted to cooperate with corresponding guide openings on the bottom side of the intermediary member.
  • the intermediary member catches the bottom member when a user is to mount the fastening means onto the wall, and furthermore the intermediary member is prevented from turning relative to the bottom member when the latter is at the highest level.
  • the projections of the intermediary member may be provided on projections on the top surface of the intermediary member, whereby said projections are provided in a very simple manner.
  • the cover may be secured to the intermediary member by means of securing pins projecting from the cover and cooperating with auxiliary openings in the projections of the intermediary member, whereby the cover can be secured very reliably to the intermediary member in such a manner that the piece of plate such as for instance the piece of mirror is well retained against the intermediary member.
  • the securing pins may be free of grooves, and the auxiliary openings of the intermediary member may comprise recesses all being located to the same side and therefore influencing the securing pins on various sides depending on the angular position of the cover.
  • This embodiment is particularly suited in connection with a demounting and a new mounting procedure.
  • the intermediary member is according to the invention secured to the bottom member by means of a central fixing means such as a screw with associated wall plug extending both through the intermediary member and the bottom member and into the wall.
  • a central fixing means such as a screw with associated wall plug extending both through the intermediary member and the bottom member and into the wall.

  • the top surface of the intermediary member of each fastening means is adjustable and serves to support each piece of mirror it is ensured that none of the pieces of mirror is positioned out of plane relative to the remaining three pieces of mirror.
  • Figures 1, 2, and 19 illustrate the bottom member, and Figure 2 illustrates how said bottom member comprises a top side 2 and a bottom surface 4.
  • Figures 3, 4, and 5 illustrate the intermediary member comprising a top surface 17 and a bottom surface 16.
  • the surface 16 faces downwards towards the top side 2 of the bottom surface.
  • the distance.h, cf. Figure 9 between the top surface 17 of the intermediary member and the bottom surface 4 of the bottom member is adjustable, which implies that the surface 17 may be positioned relatively close to the wall or relatively far from the wall.
  • FIG 3 is provided with projections 25a, 25b, 25c, 25d - not all the projections have been provided with reference numerals - and these projections serve to support and/or carry the corners of the pieces of plate 41, 42,,.43, 44 which are to be mounted.
  • a single corner piece 46 has been indicated by a dotted line.
  • the cover 30 is illustrated in greater details in Figures 6, 7, and 8. This cover is provided with a plurality of securing pins 31, 32, 33, not all the securing pins being provided with reference numerals, These securing pins can be pressed into some auxiliary openings 18, 19 - only a few openings being provided with reference numerals - in some projections 21, not all the projections being provided with reference numerals.
