Definitions

  • This invention concerns a coupling element for metal structures, in particular for the connection of elements such as those used for suspended ceilings. More particularly the invention concerns a coupling element of the type which is intended to work in concert with an opening in a thin-walled element.
  • This invention also concerns a bridge which uses this kind of coupling element, more particularly a bridge of the type where between its legs cable channels and similar can be fixed, amongst others as known under American patent n° 4.086.480.
  • the coupling element according to the invention is therefor of the type by which a first element equipped with such a coupling element can work in concert with an opening in a thin-walled second element and has the characteristic that it mainly consists of a flat lip which possesses at least one U-shaped part which toward the extremity of at least one of its legs is connected with the above-mentioned first element, whereas on both outer sides of the respective legs of the U-shaped part opposite of each other recesses are provided for fixing and positioning the second element and where the bulge of the U-shaped part fits through the above mentioned opening of the second element.
  • a first element 2 which can be of any form and which is only partly shown, is coupled by means of the coupling element 1 with a second element 3 which in this case is formed by an inversed T-profile.
  • coupling element 1 mainly consists of a flat lip 4 which in this case is exclusively and solely formed by a U-shaped part which on both outer sides 5 and 6 of the respective legs 7 and 8 of the U-shaped part shows opposite of each other recesses respectively 9 and 10.
  • the U-shaped flat lip 4 is connected with the first element 2 or is executed therewith in one piece.
  • an opening 11, preferably slot-shaped, is provided to attach said coupling element 1.
  • the second element 3 is first attached with the bottom flange 12 of opening 11 in recess 10, whereafter this element 3 is turned in the direction of arrow 13 so that also the upper flange 14 of opening 11 engages in second recess 9.
  • legs 7 and 8 can move elastically toward each other which results in a click effect as soon as flanges 12 and 14 engage in recesses 9 and 10.
  • the width of recess 9 is larger than the thickness of thin-walled element 3.
  • a variant is shown where recess 9 is very local and where the width thereof concords with thickness D of second element 3. Further a deformation 15 is provided through which a better coupling of both elements is obtained.
  • FIG 5 another variant of the coupling element is shown in which recess 9 consist of a small, relatively deep part 16 and a longer, but less deep part 17.
  • a safety element 18 can be placed between the U-shaped lip 4 and second element 3.
  • the above mentioned second element is formed by a bridge 19.
  • the bridge 19 is of the type which consists of a vertical fixing part 20, a horizontal bridge-shaped part 21 and two legs 22 and 23 directed downward from this bridge-shaped part which at their opposite sides, directed outward, are equiped with a coupling element 1 according to the invention.
  • Such bridge 19 can here be coupled with a fixing part 20 to an upper part, such as a hanger 24, while to both coupling elements 1 reversed T-shaped profiles are hooked, e.g. to support ceiling tiles 25.
  • cable channels 26 etc. can be mounted between legs 22 and 23 and on the bridge-shaped part 21 26.
  • both the coupling element and the bridge will mainly consist of a flat plate, if need be equipped with some reinforcing ribs 27 as in the bridge of figure 6, having the advantage that the element can be constructed in a very simple way.
  • FIG 7 a special execution form of this coupling element 1 according to the invention is shown.
  • This coupling element 1 as stated above consists of a flat lip 4 which shows at least one U-shaped part, for clearness' sake here set out in centre line with reference 28.
  • the particularity of the execution form of figure 7 is however that lip 4 is not exclusively formed by the U-shaped part 28 but also contains at least one part 29 which makes a connection between the extremities of legs 7 and 9 of the above mentioned part 28.
  • connection between legs 7 and 8 offers the advantage that lip 4, and in particular leg 8, have a larger rigidity against bending, whereby the entire coupling element 1 becomes more resistent.
  • Figure 8 shows another rider-shaped coupling element 19 according to the invention having the characteristic that legs 22 and 23 are each equipped with a coupling element 1 of the form as shown in figure 7.
  • coupling element 1 is always intended to be fully fitted through opening 11 in the thin-walled second element 3 with the bulge of its U-shaped part.
