Description
- The present invention relates to attachment material for the attachment of flat boards on thin walled sections.
- For the attachment of flat sheets, for instance plaster boards on thin walled steel sections, often use is made of tapping screws, which have to be provided on regular intervals, after which these selftapping screws are screwed into holes, and this screw drills itself a hole into the wall of the thin walled profile by its sharp point. Thus a connection is obtained between the plaster board and the thin walled section.
- For attachment of the boards, the plaster boards have to be located in their correct positions, after which the screws have to be screwed into the plaster boards. This last action especially requires a substantial amount of effort.
- Besides, the danger exists that the plaster board is damaged. The screwing tools used therewith produce a lot of noise nuisance.
- G-A-651891 discloses a system comprising a thinwalled section having at east two walls perpendicular to each other, a board and a clip for attaching said board to said profile, one wall of which extends parallel to the board to be fitted, said clip formed of a metal strip comprising:
- a first member extending over substantially the same width as and parallel to said one wall at the outer side thereof;
- a second member extending along the inner side of said one wall comprising a cam urged towards the first member by spring pressure, wherein two fixation hooks for receiving the edge parts of two adjacent boards extending in opposite directions, are formed substantially in the middle of the first member in the longitudinal direction of the clip.
- The system according to the present invention distinguishes from this prior art clip by the fact that said section is provided at regular intervals with slots in the second wall in the vicinity of the one wall, said slots being adapted to receiving said second member of said clip for positioning said clip over the length of said section.
- This allows the clip to be attached to said before the positioning of the boards. Further the danger that the prior art clips drop after a possible weakening of the clip is avoided.
- Subsequently the clip according to the present invention will be elucidated with the help of the accompanying drawings, in which:
- fig. 1: is a partially broken away perspective view of a first embodiment of a clip according to the present invention;
- fig. 2: is a perspective view of a second embodiment of the clip according to the present invention;
- fig. 3: is a perspective view of a third embodiment of the clip according to the present invention; and
- fig. 4: is a perspective view, partially broken away, of a thin-walled section, onto which the clips according to the present invention are used for the attachment of plaster boards.
- The embodiment of the clip depicted in fig. 1 according to the present invention comprises a substantially flat
inner strip 2, which are connected by means of a folded back 3. Theinner strip 2 is ben inwardly at the location of the folding line 4, so that a plane 5 is obtained, which is separated from a second plane 7 by a folding line 6. Thus at the location of the second folding line 6 a cam is obtained which is urged towards theouter strip 1 by means of the spring force of the bach 3. - Further in the
inner strip 2 two U-shaped cuts 8, 9 have been provided and thelips inner strip 2. - Further two
cuts outer strip 1, whereas thelips 14, 15 thus obtained have been folded over thefolding lines 16, 17 respectively. Further the lips thus obtained are folded once again atfolding lines triangular hooks - For the application of this clip one is referred to the discussion of fig. 4.
- The embodiment shown in fig. 2 comprises again an
outer strip 22 and aninner strip 23, which are connected by aback 24. Theinner strip 23 comprises acam 25 at its distal end, which is urged towards theouter strip 22 by the spring force of theback 24. Thus the clip is clamped onto one wall of the section. - Further two parallel cuts are provided in the
outer back 22, so that asmaller strip 26 results, wherein the resultingstrips folding lines strips outer strip 22 atfolding lines 31, 32, respectively, so that hooks results for the attachment of the boards. - Finally fig. 3 shows a last embodiment of the clip according to the present invention, in which the clip comprises an
outer strip 33, which is connected with aninner strip 35 by means of aback 34. Theinner strip 35 comprises afolding line 36, so that a cam is obtained. At its free end theinner strip 35 has been provided with a fixatingcam 36. - The
outer strip 33 comprises acut 38, in which the resultinglip 39 has been folded at a folding line 40. Further thelip 38 comprises a further cut and the resulting triangular hooks are folded around afolding line 41 towards opposite sides. Thehooks 32, 33 each comprise a barb at each of their ends. - When using the clip according to the present invention use is made of a thin walled substantially C-
shaped steel section 35, which comprises aback 46 and twoparallel sides back 46rectangular apertures 49 have been provided on regular intervals and on a short distance from the side concerned. - For attachment of the
plaster boards 50 according to the present invention, one uses the following procedure. Initially when using theclips 51 according to the embodiment described with the help of fig. 1, these clips are shifted into therelevant apertures 49, to such an extend, that thefixing cam 10 is adjacent to the inner side of theback 46, fixating theclip 51. Subsequently therelevant plaster boards 50 are located on the correct position against thewall 47. One has to bear in mind, that on some distance from the width of the relevant plaster board anothersection 45 is present, and that therelevant plaster board 50 can be attached at that side by therelevant clip 51. - When the
plaster board 50 has been located, theclips 51 concerned are moved towards theplaster board 50, so that this is also fixated at a location of thesection 35, as theplaster board 50 is locked up between theinner strip 1 of theclip 51 and therelevant hook 21. Subsequently the next plaster board 52 can be shifted between theouter strip 1 and thehook 20, so that this plaster board is fixated as well at the relevant side. Fig. 4 further shows how the plaster boards have been provided at both sides of aprofile 45. - In the clip according to the present invention, the contact area between the plaster board and the section is substantially smaller than in the prior art means of attachment, in which the plaster board is attached towards the section over its full length. Thus the transmission of contact noise will be much less, so that a wall built with clips according to the present invention will have better noise damping properties than prior art walls composed of plaster boards.
- An equivalent consideration is valid relative to the fire retarding properties of the wall.
- In the upper description three different embodiments of the present invention have been described, which each comprise a certain line of features. It is, however, possible to produce clamps, which comprise other combinations of the features described, and these are described in the appended claims.
