Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for assembling a joint comprising a finishing profile or decorative profile. It can be applied in the fixing of finishing profiles, decorative profiles or expansion joints for use with wall coverings, ceilings, partitions or floor panels, and in the case of the latter whether they are stratified, ceramic, or made of natural stone or parquet.
  • the female element is the part of the profile that is screwed or glued to the surface that is going to be covered. It is composed of an open rectangular gutter whose internal walls or sides are covered with triangular furrows or ridges, which are slightly rounded or serrated. This female part is rigid, with sides that have little or no elasticity. This means that the fitting of the upper or male part, which has the same width or may be wider, has to be carried out by means of a sharp blow, with the aid of a plastic or rubber hammer. Sometimes, during the positioning of the male part, one of the sides of the female part cracks, due to the fact that the parts were not correctly aligned.
  • Patent GB 2238557 refers to sealing members that form joints between adjacent sheets of hygienic wall cladding material, and comprise first and second longitudinally extending components with means for securing them together at an adjustable spacing, so that marginal positions of one component urge the sheets against margins of the other component.
  • Patent US 3667177 refers to a moulding joint for thin wall panelling and moulding members therefor.
  • a retainer is positioned with a base flange behind a panelling member as it is being installed.
  • the retainer has a receiving area formed from upstanding arms to receive and engage a tongue of a T-shaped moulding cap which is applied after the work is completed.
  • the two piece moulding combination can be used for all types of panel joints including inside and outside corners, butt joints, joints between wall and ceiling and wall and floor, and joints between the edge of panelling members and the wall surfaces to which they are attached.
  • patent EP 1176268 of the applicant provides the fitting together of the base part or female part with the decorative or finishing profile, with the possibility of placing the parts obliquely in relation to each other.
  • This fixing system is essentially characterised in that it consists of fitting the male part or element into the female part or element in such a way as to allow the two parts to be fitted together coaxially or obliquely to one another.
  • EP1493880 describes the use of a third part which fits by pressure into a cavity on the underside of the decorative or finishing profile.
  • the present invention provides a method for assembling a joint comprising a finishing profile or a decorative profile in accordance with claim 1 .
  • the fixing system of the invention consists of three separate parts, the finishing or decorative profile 5, the male or intermediate part 1 and the female or base part 8.
  • the male or intermediate part 1 comprises an upper element or head 2 with a central indentation 3 for fitting into a cavity 11 which extends below the decorative or finishing profile 5; a lower element 6 with peripheral ridges 7 for fitting into the corresponding ridges of the base part 8; a shaft 10 which connects the two aforementioned elements.
  • the said indentation 3 has a narrowing, as in figures 1 to 4 .
  • the female part or base part 8 is screwed or glued to the surface that is going to be covered and it is composed of an open rectangular gutter whose internal walls or sides are covered with ridges or furrows 9.
  • the finishing or decorative profile 5 has on its underside a channel shaped cavity 11, into which is fitted the upper element of the male part 1. These parts are fitted together by applying pressure to the said element.
  • the finishing or decorative profile 5 and the base part 8 are fitted together as soon as the intermediate or male part 1 has been duly positioned into part 8.
  • the fitting of the intermediate or male part 1 into the base part does not require great force or blows which could cause breaking or create torsion in any of the parts.
  • the positioning of the head 2 of part 1 is effected by applying pressure.
  • the head 2 has an indentation 3 which will facilitate and permit the elastic deformation of the sides of the head 2.
  • the configuration of the cavity 11. namely its outside surface 4, and of the head 2, is such as to facilitate the fitting together of the parts.
  • Figures 1 to 4 show that the head 2 is not fitted vertically in place, but by rotation to either side.
  • Figure 4 represents an intermediate part of longer length which, together with the fact that part 1 can be positioned obliquely into part 8, makes it possible to resolve certain situations of differences in level between the two edges of the joint.

Claims (3)

  1. Une méthode d'assemblage de joints comprenant un profilé de terminaison ou de décoration (5), où un élément femelle ou de base (8) est vissé ou collé à la surface à être revêtue et est constitué d'une rainure rectangulaire ouverte dont les parois ou côtés intérieurs sont dotés d'arêtes ou de cannelures (9) et dans lequel sont encastrés les autres éléments ayant des moyens appropriés à cette fin, où un troisième élément intermédiaire (1) est placé entre le profilé de terminaison ou de décoration (5) et l'élément de base (8), permettant ainsi l'assemblage indépendant du profilé de terminaison ou de décoration (5) sur l'élément de base (8), où l'élément intermédiaire (1) est constitué d'un élément supérieur ou tête (2) avec une découpe centrale (3) pour encastrement dans une cavité (11) qui s'étend au-dessous du profilé de terminaison ou de décoration (5) ; un élément inférieur (6) avec des arêtes périphériques (7) pour encastrement dans les arêtes correspondantes de l'élément de base (8) ; et un arbre (10) qui relie lesdits deux éléments, caractérisée en ce qu'un premier côté en forme de crochet de l'élément supérieur ou tête (2) est inséré premièrement dans un premier côté de la cavité (11) et ensuite le deuxième côté en forme de crochet de l'élément supérieur ou tête est inséré dans un deuxième côté de la cavité (11) par rotation de l'élément intermédiaire (1) dans le profilé de terminaison ou de décoration (5), où la découpe centrale (3) assure la flexibilité nécessaire pour insérer l'élément mâle ou intermédiaire (1) dans le profilé de terminaison ou de décoration (5) par rotation, où ladite découpe (3) présente un rétrécissement qui lui confère une configuration arrondie.
  2. Une méthode selon la revendication précédente, caractérisée en ce que ledit arbre (10) qui relie lesdits deux éléments peut avoir des hauteurs variables afin de permettre que le profilé de terminaison ou de décoration (1) puisse être positionné dans des situations diverses.
  3. Une méthode selon les revendications précédentes, caractérisée en ce que la tête (2) de l'élément mâle ou intermédiaire (1) et la cavité (11) du profilé de terminaison ou de décoration (5) présentent des dimensions aptes à prévoir un léger espace entre les surfaces qui sont en contact afin de permettre le positionnement oblique dudit élément intermédiaire (1).
