Definitions

  • the invention relates to a clamping device for securing two elements to opposite faces of a panel.
  • the device is particularly suitable for clamping glazing beads around a glazed aperture in a door panel, and an embodiment of this type will be specifically described.
  • a device according to the invention is also of wider application and may be used in many other circumstances where it is required to secure elements to opposite faces of a panel.
  • the door panel is formed with a rectangular aperture to receive a pane of glass or a double-glazed unit.
  • a frame of beading is secured to each side of the panel, around and slightly overlapping the aperture, each length of beading usually being mitred at the corners.
  • the door panel and beading are formed from wood
  • the beads have usually been nailed and/or glued in position.
  • the door panel may be formed from a wood/plastics composition material faced with sheets of aluminium or plastics, and the beading may comprise extruded sections of aluminium or plastics.
  • the use of nails and/or adhesive is not suitable and a concealed form of securing device is required to attach the beading to the door panel.
  • Clamping devices according to the present invention are particularly suitable for this purpose.
  • the device comprises a plastics block which is nailed to an edge of the panel facing into the glazing aperture and has projections which extend into generally T-shaped longitudinal grooves in the extruded aluminium glazing beads.
  • Screwed into each side of the block is a generally T-shaped metal catch element, and each catch element may be separately screwed into or out of the block by means of a spanner. With the cross-bar of each catch element parallel to the groove in the bead it may be entered into the groove, and once in the groove the element is rotated by the spanner. As rotation is continued the catch element is screwed further into the block and thus draws the bead towards the panel.
  • the present invention provides an improved form of clamping device which, when used for a similar purpose to that just described, simply and easily clamps two opposed glazing beads simultaneously to the door panel by one quick and convenient operation.
  • Each cam member preferably comprises an enlarged head portion carried on the end of a narrower neck portion extending axially away from the carrier, said cam surface being formed on the part of the head portion facing the carrier.
  • the head portion of each cam member may be generally oblong, the width thereof, as viewed axially, being substantially the same as the diameter of the neck portion.
  • Each cam surface may comprise a generally part-helical surface extending around the axis of rotation of the cam member.
  • cam members are provided on the opposite ends of a single locking element rotatably mounted on the carrier, whereby rotation of the single locking element effects simultaneous rotation of both cam members.
  • rotation of the single locking element serves to clamp both glazing beads simultaneously to the panel.
  • the arrangement may be such that clamping is achieved by less than one whole rotation of the locking element and, as will be described, the extent of rotation required may be only 90°.
  • the carrier may be in the form of a housing having a cylindrical, or part-cylindrical, bore in which a cylindrical main body part of the locking element is rotatable.
  • the locking element may include a location device which operates to locate and retain the locking element at a predetermined rotational position, representing the desired limit of its rotation in said one direction.
  • the location device may comprise an inter-engaging projection and recess formation on the locking element and carrier.
  • the means for effecting rotation of the cam members may comprise a formation on the locking element adapted for engagement by a manipulating tool.
  • the formation may comprise two opposed parallel flats on opposite sides of a part of the locking element which is exposed from said carrier.
  • the carrier may be formed with abutments to limit the movement of the manipulating tool to a range consistent with the desired range of rotation of said cam members. Said range of rotation may be substantially 90°.
  • the carrier may be provided with projecting formations for engagement with elements to be secured to the panel, in order to locate said elements prior to operation of the clamping device.
  • the invention includes within its scope a kit of parts comprising a panel, at least one clamping device of any of the kinds referred to above, and at least two elements to be secured to the panel by the clamping device, said elements being shaped to receive the cam members of the clamping device when the elements are in engagement with opposite faces of the panel, and having surfaces engageable by the cam surfaces on the cam members.
  • the kit of parts may comprise a door panel formed with a rectangular aperture and two sets of four glazing beads, each set adapted to frame and partly overlap one side of the aperture, and at least four clamping devices of any of the kinds referred to above, each clamping device being adapted to clamp to the door panel a pair of glazing beads on opposite faces of the door panel along one side edge of the aperture in the door panel.
  • the clamping device 10 is for clamping two extruded aluminium glazing beads 11 and 12 along opposite sides of one edge of a rectangular glazing aperture in a door panel 13 comprising a central composition core 14 faced with aluminium sheets 15.
  • the edge of the panel facing into the rectangular glazing aperture is indicated at 16 and part of a conventional double glazed unit, for mounting in the aperture, is indicated at 17.
  • the extruded glazing beads 11 and 12 are each formed with a longitudinal groove 18 which is of generally T-shaped cross section so as to provide spaced opposed flanges 19.
  • the clamping device comprises a generally rectangular housing 20 formed with a circular cross-section cylindrical bore 21 which is partly open into one face of the housing.
  • the bore 21 receives a rotatable locking element 22.
  • the element 22 comprises a main body part 23, which is a close rotating fit in the bore 21, and a manipulating portion 24 formed with two parallel opposed flats 25 at one end of the main body part.
  • the housing 20 is cut away in the region of the manipulating part 24 to provide two inclined abutment surfaces 26 and 27 disposed at right angles to one another.
  • the overall width of the housing 20 is generally the same as the thickness of the panel 13.
  • the locking element 22 is formed with two cam members 28 and 29 which project beyond the width of the panel 13 and are carried by narrower neck portions 30 and 31 respectively.
  • Each cam member is formed with a generally part-helical cam surface 32, 33 facing the housing 20.
  • Each cam member 29 is generally oblong as viewed in the direction of the axis of the locking member 22, as may be seen from Figures 3 and 4, and the width of each cam member is generally the same as the diameter of the adjacent neck portion.
  • the main body part 23 of the locking element is formed with a projection 34 which in one rotational position of the locking element snaps into engagement with a recess 35 in the peripheral wall of the bore 21 in the housing 20.
  • housing 20 is integrally formed with spaced parallel projecting ridges 36 which are so disposed as to be received between the spaced flanges 19 on the extruded bead 12.
  • the housing 20 is also formed with integrally formed hooked spring clips 37 which are shaped to engage between the flanges 19 on the bead 11 and to snap into engagement behind those flanges.
  • the housing 20 and locking element 22 may conveniently be moulded from plastics material, but the invention does not exclude arrangements where the clamping device, or any part thereof, is formed from other material, such as metal.
  • the desired number of clamping devices are assembled together, with the locking elements 22 within the housings 20, and are clipped to respective beads 11 by means of the spring clips 37.
  • the clamping devices rest on the edges 16 of the door panel which face into the glazing aperture, as shown in Figure 2, and in this position the beads 11 partly engage the surface of the panel 13 and partly overlap the periphery of the glazing aperture.
  • the double glazed unit 17 of suitable size is located in the aperture, being engaged by a resilient sealing strip 38 mounted on the bead 11 in known manner.
  • each clamping device is initially in the orientation shown in Figures 1 and 3 so that the cam member 28 can pass into the groove 18 in the extruded bead 11.
  • the beads 12 are then located around the glazing aperture on the opposite side of the door panel 13 to the beads 11, being located by the ridges 36 on the housings 20 and by the cam members 29, which pass between the flanges 19 on each bead 12.
  • a suitably shaped spanner 39 is then inserted between the double glazed unit 17 and the bead 12 and engaged with the flats 25 on the locking element 22, as shown in Figure 3.
  • the flats 25 are disposed at 45° to the cam member 29 so that when the cam member is parallel to the groove in the bead 12 the spanner 39 must also extend at 45°. The spanner is therefore guided into engagement with the flats 25 by the inclined abutment surface 26 on the housing 20.
  • the spanner 39 is then rotated through 90° to the position shown in Figure 4. This brings the cam member 29 to a position where it extends at right angles to the groove in the bead 12, and similarly brings the cam member 28 to a position where it extends at right angles to the groove in the bead 11.
  • the desired 90° movement of the spanner 39 is limited by its engagement with the inclined abutment surface 27, and when it reaches this position the projection 34 on the locking element snaps into the recess 35 in the housing to serve to retain the locking element in the clamping position.
  • the part-helical cam surfaces 32 and 33 bear against the inner surfaces of the flanges 19 and urge those flanges towards the housing 20, thus pressing the beads 11 and 12 firmly against the opposite faces of the door panel 13 around the glazing aperture.
  • the sealing strip 40 may be simply effected by removing the sealing strip 40 and rotating the locking element of each clamping device, with the spanner, back to the position shown in Figure 3, whereupon the glazing beads 12 may be removed allowing the double glazed unit to be withdrawn. It will be appreciated that, in use, the arrangement should be such that the sealing strips 40 are on the interior side of the door panel, so as to prevent the possibility of unauthorised removal of the double glazed unit from outside the house to permit access by an intruder.
  • the locking element of the clamping device is adapted to be rotated by means of a separate spanner.
  • the locking element may be provided with an integral manipulating part, such as a lever, enabling it to be rotated by hand without the use of a separate spanner or other tool. It will be appreciated that, in such an arrangement the final position of the integral lever or other manipulating part must be such that it is not visually or operatively obtrusive.
  • cam members 28, 29 are integrally formed as parts of a single locking member 22, so that they are both rotated simultaneously, as described.
  • the cam members may be separately rotatably mounted on a carrier, each cam member then being formed with a separate manipulating formation, similar to the flats 25, so that the cam members may be individually rotated into their respective locking positions
  • each cam member should be so rotatably mounted in the carrier that it is located against axial movement, whereby rotation of its cam surface with the respective glazing bead urges the bead towards the panel.
  • devices according to the invention may be used for many other similar purposes, not only for door panels and glazing beads of different materials, but also for other applications where it is desired to clamp components to opposite faces of a panel.
