Definitions

  • This invention relates to an apparatus for improving or adjusting the alignment of panels along a series of supports.
  • the invention relates to such a device for use in the structural engineering, for example in building construction or room dividing.
  • buildings or rooms can be fabricated by the setting of a plurality of support posts in a set line or predetermined curvature, and affixing panels to the support posts.
  • One problem with this approach is that it is difficult to align the posts with 100 per cent accuracy, and whilst they may appear correctly aligned to the naked eye, there inevitably occurs some misalignment of the order of millimetres.
  • panels which have been engineered to higher tolerances, are positioned for fixing to the posts, misalignments of just a few millimetres can result in a clearly visible distortion in the flatness or curvature of the surface subsequently assembled from the panels.
  • the present invention aims to alleviate these alignment problems and enable the engineer or builder to construct a structure with accurately aligned surfaces.
  • a device for adjustably mounting a panel to a positionally fixed support structure comprising:
  • the mounting pieces each comprise a substantially U-shaped cross section channel.
  • Such shapes are known to be structurally quite rigid thereby providing a more rigid fixing for the structure.
  • the two U-shaped cross section channels may be of approximately the same dimensions but optionally, one is slightly smaller than the other in a pair to enable the smaller to be slid between the limbs of the larger "U".
  • each pair of mounting pieces and the means for connecting them are suitably configured so as to permit the separation of a pair to be variable at opposing ends of the mounting pieces, this enables a second degree of misalignment adjustment to be correctable, for example, where a support structure is not only out of line with the others in the plurality, but is angled slightly to the plane in which the panels are to be aligned.
  • the suitably configured device can be adjusted to compensate not only for variances in position of adjacent support structures along a target base line, but also for variances in their tilt from a plane passing through the target base line.
  • Suitable means for connecting a pair of mounting pieces include, but are not strictly limited to; complementing grooves and indentations on opposing pairs; slot and sliding bolt arrangements; complementary snap fit connections and/or permanent fixings such as rivetting, adhesion or welding once the pair has been appropriately positioned.
  • a scale may be incorporated adjacent the slot on the outer surface of the mounting piece.
  • a washer may be incorporated between the bolt and slot, the washer being provided with one or more radial protrusions in the form of pointers. These radial protrusions can be used with the scale to accurately position a mounting device a preselected separation from it's pair.
  • the device of the invention may comprise a pair of identical U-shaped cross section mounting pieces each having at one end a pair of slots on opposing limbs, and at the other end a pair of opposing threaded orifices for receiving a screw threaded bolt.
  • the orifices and slots are all spaced the same distance from the edges of the mounting piece such that, when a pair are positioned together, with one inverted with respect to the other, they can be connected at each end by insertion of a bolt through the slot of the first of the pair and received in the threaded orifice of the second of the pair.
  • a scale is incorporated adjacent the slots, the separation at either end of the device can be accurately set so as to accommodate any linear or angular misalignment of the structure to which a panel is to be mounted.
  • the mounting surfaces of the mounting devices may optionally further be provided with coatings or strips of sealant material. Equally or alternatively, insulating strips or coatings may be incorporated on one or more surfaces of either, or both of the mounting pieces.
  • Preferred materials for the devices are structural grade steels or aluminium. Other materials may equally be used subject to their being of suitable strength to hold the weight of mounted panels without deformation, and to their being compatible with any environment in which they may be placed (i.e. not likely to lose structural integrity or form in that environment.
  • mounting pieces of the device are provided with suitably complementary shaped surfaces to allow their mounting flush with the support and panel.
  • mounting pieces comprising substantially U-shaped cross section channels
  • the devices need neither be U-shaped or channels.
  • the mounting pieces are provided with suitably complementary shaped surfaces to allow their mounting flush with the support and panel, the shape of the remainder of a mounting piece is not crucial.
  • mounting pieces may be shaped with complementary male and female internal surfaces, to assist in connection, alignment and/or stability.
  • the mounting pieces may comprise closed hollow cross sections or solid prismatic cross sections.
  • the opposing internal faces may be identically shaped or complemtarily shaped.
  • panel is to be interpreted broadly to include inter alia planar pieces of a variety of materials, such as metals, plywood, chipboard, MDF and the like, whether or not profiled.
  • the devices of the invention may be used in applications where panels are to be aligned in a level manner, whether that alignment is in a vertical or horizontal plane or any angle between horizontal and vertical.
  • a device of the invention consists of two identical, square edged, U-shaped cross section channels (1a, 1b) (the mounting pieces), each having a mounting surface (2a, 2b) and limbs (3a, 3b).
  • Towards an edge of a first limb (3a, 3b) is provided a slot (4a, 4b).
  • a screw threaded orifice or sheet nut (5a, 5b) is provided on the opposing limb (3a, 3b) of the same mounting piece (1a, 1b).
  • a millimetre scale (7a, 7b) Above and below the slot is provided a millimetre scale (7a, 7b).
  • a first scale (7a) may be read from right to left and the second (7b) from left to right. This enables the device to be positioned in relation to a choice of reference points.
  • the washer is provided with a pair of diametrally opposed, pointed radial protrusions (9). These protrusions can be aligned with the scales (7a, 7b) to allow an accurate reading of the scale to be made when adjusting the separation ofthe two mounting pieces.
  • the mounting surfaces (2a,2b) are each provided with screw holes (10a, 10b) via which they may be mounted to the support structure (not shown). Strips of foam sealant strip (13) are added to the surface (2b) of the device, to which the panel (not shown) will be mounted.
  • a pair of identical mounting devices (1a, 1b) may be put together with each having the outer surface of one limb (3a, 3b) facing the inner surface of a limb of the other piece and each having one limb with an outer surface exposed to the surrounding environment.
  • Figure 3(b) shows in more detail, the arrangement of the scales (7a, 7b) adjacent a slot.
  • Figure 4 shows an alternative embodiment which is broadly similar to that described in relation to Figure 3 but incorporates some design variations in the shape and dimensions of the mounting pieces (2a, 2b).
  • a male piece (1a) is dimensioned such that it's limbs (3a) can fit within the limbs (3b) of a female mounting piece (1b).
  • the male mounting piece (1a) has on it's mounting surface (2a) a longitudinally extending indentation (11) positioned centrally of two screw holes (10a) via which the piece (1a) can be mounted to a support structure (not shown).
  • the indentation forms a rectangular channel with the surface of the support structure to which it is mounted, which channel may be filled with insulating, soundproofing or other such materials. Alternatively, the channel may be used for the passage of utilities pipes or communications lines.
  • the female mounting piece (1b) is provided with a pair of longitudinally extending indentations (12) into which sealant strips (13) may be located thereby providing an improved barrier to the ingress of moisture.
  • the mounting devices (1a, 1b) in this embodiment are clearly designed to be paired male to female, only a single scale (7) is needed.
  • the scale (7) is provided on the limb (3a), the edge of limb (3b) is used as a cursor for the scale as the two pieces are brought together.
  • Figure 4(a) shows a male and female pair of mounting devices fitted together at their closest separation.
  • Figure 5 illustrates a partially constructed panel walled structure.
  • the arrows show the positioning of a device (1) according to the invention.
