Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a fastening construction according to the preamble of Claim 1.
  • a fastening construction of this kind can be used to hang paintings. However, it can also be used to fasten a wide variety of objects to a fixed part. As an example a computer to a table can be quoted.
  • US Patent Specification 2263901 a construction is described which is to be fitted horizontally and has to be fastened to a painting's stretcher pieces or the like. The painting can thereby be displaced in the horizontal direction relative to a fastening screw or the like and so the middle can be precisely located to allow the painting to hang correctly.
  • the screw or the like is brought via a keyhole-shaped opening into the fastening part. Once the screw has been fitted in the opening in question, a nail can ensure that the screw is blocked, i.e. it is no longer possible to remove a painting directly from the wall.
  • a problem with a construction of this kind is that it is especially difficult, even for authorized persons, to remove the painting. For the authorized person will need to get the aforementioned nail out of the opening and because all this is situated between painting and wall, this will be no simple task. Moreover, the introduction of the nail proves difficult because the nail has to be introduced precisely through two opposite openings which are likewise located in the space which is difficult to access between painting and wall. Moreover, the construction is solely achievable if it is fitted horizontally, to be more precise positioned horizontally in the right direction. In all other positions, there is the risk of the nail falling out of the openings concerned.
  • the object of the present invention is to eliminate this drawback.
  • German Patent Specification 103533 a fastening construction which has to be fastened to the back of a painting or the like. This comprises an opening and screws which act upon this opening from three sides and are able to retain a fastening means. There is no mention here of any two-part constitution of the opening, as according to the present invention. The use of three screws is especially complicated, both as regards the construction and as regards the fitting of the fastening construction concerned.
  • the invention also relates to a bearing element for a painting comprising an above-described fastening construction, wherein the fastening part is designed to be fitted to the stretcher pieces of that painting.
  • the design will be adapted accordingly. It is important to understand however that the invention is not limited to the hanging of paintings, but is for all other objects known in the prior art which have to be hung on a wall or the like.
  • a known bearing element comprises a fastening to the painting and is provided with a keyhole-shaped receiving fixture, in which the "inlet" for the fastening screw or the like in the wall is located on the underside.
  • bearing elements can always be fitted close to the top ends on opposite sides of the painting, and following correct positioning of the fastening screws or hooks in the wall, the painting can be slid over them such that it moves into the second part of the receiving fixture, whereby the painting is fastened in stable manner to the wall.
  • Such a fastening is primarily used in more professional applications, such as in museums and the like. There is no risk herein of hanging crooked.
  • the object of the present invention is to eliminate this drawback and provide a cheap, effective safeguard.
  • the invention is based upon the idea of fastening the painting or the like more or less fixedly to the wall. That is to say, after positioning, the blocking means are made effective and it is no longer possible to move the painting or the like back upwards in order thereby to reach the introduction opening for the fastening means such as a screw. It is not possible to remove the painting from the wall without considerable conspicuous force.
  • the receiving fixture for the reception of the fastening means will be matched to the shape of that fastening means. If that fastening means is a headed screw or a hexagon socket head screw, the receiving fixture can be keyhole-like in design. That is to say, in the usage position there is on the underside a relatively large opening (first part) in the vertical direction, followed by a comparatively narrower opening in which the fastening means can only slide to and fro and cannot be removed from the bearing element.
  • the screw means can be provided with any head which is known in the prior art for the driving thereof and this head will preferably be designed such that manual twisting is not easily possible, whilst for displacement thereof a special key, such as a hexagon socket screw key, is used.
  • the fastening construction is used as a bearing element for a painting or the like.
  • the bearing element is provided with a raised part or support 12 provided with a keyhole-shaped receiving opening 7 comprising a first lower part 8, which is round, and a second part 9 connected thereto, which is of key-shaped design.
  • the connection between the first and second part is a vertical line in the usage position, but it must be understood that this can also be a horizontal line or any other line between horizontal and vertical.
  • Support 12 is provided with a flanged part (not represented in detail), in which a screw thread is fitted for the reception of a adjusting bolt 10. This is fitted in such a way that the end thereof can extend to a greater or lesser extent into slot 9.
  • a locking bolt 11 is fitted in screw thread cut in the transition part between support 12 and edge part 4. All this is positioned such that this locking screw 11, when screwed in, emerges in the transition between the parts 8 and 9 (self-evidently lying behind and in front thereof respectively).
  • the raised part 12 or support is additionally provided with an opening 13. This opening 13 can be provided with a screw thread for the reception of a hook or eye, thereby allowing for simple storage in warehouses and the like.
  • the thickness of the different plate parts from which the bearing element 1 is constructed will self-evidently be chosen in accordance with the function thereof.
  • a screw 14 is shown in diagrammatic representation, which screw has a comparatively narrow shank and thicker head. All this is designed such that the head can move just through the opening 8 but not through slot 9, whilst the shank is displaceable in the slot 9 of the raised part.
  • height-adjustment can be realized through positional adjustment of the bolt 10.
  • the end of the adjusting bolt 10 can be designed in a crater shape, i.e. such that the core of the bolt is hollow at its free end.
  • Screws 10 and 11 can be provided with special means, such as a hexagon socket head, to hinder operation by unauthorized persons.
  • securing means can be present and other further locking devices.
