Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for fixing a built-in element of the type described in the preamble of claim 1.
  • a fastening device is known from the document DE 44 11985 .
  • the clamping pressure is exclusively determined by the force that is produced by the opening of the arc-shaped portion when the free ends of the staples are pushed under the support plate.
  • the widening of the arc must be relatively large, which requires the use of an additional gripping flange.
  • the present invention aims to provide a fixing device of the type mentioned above, which overcomes the disadvantages just stated, also allowing to easily and quickly connect a built-in element in a work plate.
  • the fixing device comprises the features which are set forth in the characterizing part of claim 1.
  • the patent U.S. Patent No. 4,016,608 also discloses a device for fixing a flush-mounted element in a support plate, which comprises a fastening clip cooperating with a clamping screw of a portion in the form of an arc of the screw, but the latter is supported on the embedded element and the clip does not engage under the support plate at one end, but bears against its plate against the plate under the effect of the screw.
  • This fixing device is fundamentally different from the device according to the invention.
  • reference numeral 1 denotes a retaining clip, for fixing a flush-fitting element 2 of which only the edge is shown, in the location aperture 3 of a support plate 4.
  • the insertable element 2 which could be for example a sink bowl, a drip tray or a hot plate, rests by its curved edge on the edge 6 of the opening location.
  • the end 7 of the curved edge 5 protrudes into the slot opening 3 and is folded upwards to allow hooking of the retaining clips 1.
  • the end 7 could also be formed by a piece attached to a flat edge .
  • Several staples are distributed around the periphery of the insert.
  • a retaining clip 1 has a first substantially rectilinear limb 9 for attaching the clip to the insertable member 3, a second limb 10 for attachment to the support plate and an arcuate portion 12 located thereon. between the two branches 9 and 10.
  • the retaining clip is preferably made of spring strip steel or plastic.
  • the branch 9 is bent at its free end for the formation of a hook 14. This hook allows attachment of the clip on the free edge 7 curved upwardly of the insert member.
  • the second limb 10 engages, for fastening the staple to the support plate 4, under the edge of the lower face 15 of the locating opening 4, as is apparent from the figure 2 .
  • the free edge of the leg 10 is curved substantially rectangular inwards for the formation of a claw 11 for penetration into the plate 4.
  • the claw can be provided with teeth.
  • the arc-shaped portion 12 between the legs 9 and 10 allows an elastic deformation of the clip so that it can be caused to pivot from its rest position shown on the figure 1 in his working position according to the figure 2 in which the branch 10 engages under the support plate 4.
  • the opening width of the arc 12 and thus the pressure with which the arm 10 bears against the lower face 15 of the support plate 4 is adjustable by a screw 16.
  • This screw passes through the clip in the zone d It is supported by its head 17 on the outer face of the lower entry zone 18 of the arc 12 and meshes with a thread 19 made in the upper entry zone 20 of the bow.
  • In the lower zone 18 is only provided a through hole 21.
  • the area transition 22 from the arc 12 to the branch 10 is bent somewhat downwards and thus deformed S.
  • the area around the through hole 21 is flat.
  • a suitable number of retaining clips are freely engaged by distributing them around the periphery of the insert element, with the curved edge As we can see on the figure 1 .
  • the arcuate portion 12 of the staples is opened by the screw 16 so that the staples can be pivoted without using a gripping flange from their rest position according to the figure 1 in the working position represented on the figure 2 in which the branch 10 engages under the inner face 15 of the support plate 4.
  • the arc can be enlarged so that only a relatively small force that can be manually performed is sufficient.
  • the screw 16 is adjusted so that its head 17 is at a distance from the bearing surface, necessary for the widening of the arc.
  • the clamping pressure of the staples can be adjusted to the desired value, despite some differences in the thickness of the support plates.
  • the figure 3 shows a retaining clip according to the invention, whose free end of the leg 10 is bent outwardly at 23 to form an inclined ramp which is configured so that the lower edge 24 of the location aperture come to bear on this ramp when pivoting the staples in the fixing position.
  • the arc 12 is widened by the sliding on the edge 24 under the effect of the pivoting force.
  • the upper face of the branch 10 may be provided with teeth 25 to obtain an anchoring effect of the branches 10 in the lower face of the support plate.
  • the upper end of the branch 9 is in the form of a hook.
  • the attachment of the clip to the insert member may also be made in any other suitable form.
  • the retaining clips according to the invention simplify, essentially thanks to the screws 16, the mounting of a flush-fitting element in a working plate while allowing adaptation to different thicknesses of the plates.
  • the device according to the invention provides many advantages. Thus, in the case of the invention there is no risk that the staple can be released during a possible lateral displacement of the insert element in the opening of the support plate. Another important advantage is that the clip projects downwardly beyond the lower surface of the insert only a distance corresponding to its thickness.
