Definitions

  • the invention relates to the fastening of rails and rail sections used in buildings. More particularly, the invention relates to a method and a fastener for fastening a rail by the base part of the rail.
  • Glass rails used in buildings typically comprise a base part used for fastening the rail, a rail part to be received by the base part, as well as a hand support, i.e. a hand railing, which typically is secured to the upper edge, or the area of the upper edge, of the glass rail.
  • the vertical straightness of the rail part is largely determined by the position of the base part receiving it, and the vertical or horizontal straightness of the fastening surfaces of the building used to fasten the base part may vary to a great extent.
  • different kinds of filler plates are used between the fastening surface of the building and the base part to correct the position of the base part and to thereby achieve the vertical straightness of the base part.
  • the use of these filler plates is often laborious and slows down the installation of the glass rail.
  • An alternative solution for achieving and adjusting the vertical straightness of the rail part received by the base part is that a suitable adjustment mechanism is provided inside the base part to adjust the vertical straightness of the rail part relative the base part.
  • a known solution intended for a glass rail and for adjusting the vertical straightness of the rail part of glass is that the lower edge of the rail part of glass is supported against the bottom of the interior of the base part and that vertically movable support members are provided in the area of the upper edge of the interior of the base part, on both sides of the rail part of glass. These support members are vertically moved, on both sides of the rail part of glass, by screws provided at the upper face of the base part.
  • the base part of a rail is fastened to a suitable structure of a building by at least one intermediate member, the intermediate member providing an adjustable fastening surface for adjusting the vertical straightness of the base part of the rail.
  • the solution of the invention makes the actual rail installation process considerably faster and simpler since the straightness of the fastening surfaces of the base part of the rail, and thus the straightness of the base part itself, can be adjusted before the installation of the rail.
  • At least one fastener is used to fasten the base part, the position of the base part fastening surface of the fastener being fine-adjustable relative to the rest of the fastener to achieve the vertical straightness of the rail.
  • fine-adjustability refers to an adjustment of the fastening surface by a few millimeters one way or the other, such as to a maximum margin of displacement of ⁇ 5 mm, preferably ⁇ 3 mm, for the edge of the fastening surface.
  • This margin of displacement enables the upper edge of the rail to move a couple of centimeters and allows any positional errors of the fastener to be sufficiently corrected.
  • the rail to be fastened is preferably a glass rail which is installed by fastening its base part to the fastening surface of said at least one fastener, by receiving the rail's rail part of glass by the base part and by securing the rail part of glass into the base part by wedging it there.
  • the fastener used in the method of the invention preferably comprises two surfaces substantially perpendicular to each other, of which one surface is a rail base-part fastening surface, while the other surface is a fastener fastening surface, and the substantially right angle between these two surfaces is fine-adjusted by at least one threaded pin or bolt.
  • the fastener of the invention comprises a rail base-part fastening surface and a fastener fastening surface, the rail base-part fastening surface being substantially perpendicular to the fastener fastening surface.
  • the fastener comprises at least one adjustment member for fine-adjusting the substantially right angle between said fastening surfaces.
  • the base-part fastening surface and the fastener fastening surface of the fastener according to the invention are preferably provided on the same integral body.
  • the fastener of the invention is also advantageously formed as an L-shaped piece, said fastening surfaces being provided on its outer side and said at least one adjustment member connecting the furthest portions of the legs of the piece to each other.
  • the adjustment member of the fastener comprises at least one threaded pin or bolt.
  • the adjustment member consists of two bolts supported in the fastener at their heads and of an adjustment sleeve connecting the bolts to each other and provided with matching, internal threads.
  • the adjustment member can consist of a bolt supported in the fastener at its head and of a nut supported in the fastener.
  • the fastener of the invention is preferably made of aluminum.
  • the fastener of the invention is preferably used for fastening glass rails.
  • the fastener 1 shown schematically in Figure 1 comprises a substantially L-shaped frame member 2, a support member 3 received by a groove in the furthest portion of the longer leg of the frame member, a bolt 4 connecting the other leg of the frame member and the support member to each other, as well as a nut 5 securing the threaded end of the bolt to the support member.
  • the substantially L-shaped frame member 2 defines, on the outer side of the shorter leg, a fastening surface 6 for the base part of the rail to be fastened, and, on the outer side of the longer leg, a fastening surface 7 of the fastener 1.
  • the substantially L-shaped frame member 2 is preferably made of extruded aluminum profile and comprises, at the junction of its legs, a relieving portion 8 to contribute to the bendability feature of the aluminum profile without breaking.
  • a small cut 9 is made into the outer face of the junction of the frame member 2, allowing, while the angle between the fastening surfaces 6 and 7 is fine-adjusted, the bending to move the corner towards the fastening surface 7 of the fastener 1.
  • the support member 3 is seated in the frame member 2 by means of a groove made in the inner face of the longer leg, in the furthest portion of this leg. It is preferable that the support member 3 also is made of aluminum profile and extends, along the width of the fastener 1, i.e. in a perpendicular direction from the plane of the figure, over the entire width of the frame member 2 of the fastener.
  • the support member 3 is provided with a groove for a nut 5, and, at the nut, and a hole is drilled in the support member for the threaded end of the bolt 4.
  • the head of the bolt 4 is inserted into a groove made in the inner face of the outer end of the shorter leg of the frame member 2.
  • the adjustment member of the fastener 1 consists of the bolt 4 and the nut 5, the location and position of the outer face of the shorter leg of the frame member 2, forming the rail base-part fastening surface 6, is adjusted relative the support member fastening surface 7 by rotating the nut in the groove provided in the support member 3, as a result of which the bolt 4 moves relative the support member and forces the shorter leg of the frame member to bend relative the longer leg thereof.
  • FIG. 2 is a schematic view of an alternative embodiment of the fastener 1 according to the invention of this application.
  • the embodiment of the fastener 1 shown in Figure 2 is substantially identical to the embodiment of Figure 1 but the support member 3 is replaced with an integrated projection 10 of the frame member 2 and the adjustment member consists of two bolts 11, 11' as well as of an adjustment sleeve 12 connecting these bolts to each other.
  • the fastener 1 of Figure 2 does not show the cut 9, it is preferable to include it in this embodiment as well.
  • the heads of the bolts 11, 11' of the fastener of Figure 2 are seated in grooves provided in the inner faces of the furthest portions of the legs of the substantially L-shaped frame member 2 made of aluminum profile, the grooves being preferably formed by using material layer thickenings or projections, such as the projection 10.
  • the threaded portions of the bolts 11, 11' are connected to each other at their ends by the adjustment sleeve 12, and the adjustment sleeve 12 is provided with matching, internal threads so as to bring the heads of the bolts 11, 11' either nearer each other, or farther away from each other, by rotating the sleeve.
  • This embodiment requires matching threads, i.e. threads of different handedness, on the bolts 11 and 11', in order to work.
  • FIGS 3A and 3B illustrate the use of the fastener 1 according to the invention in different positions.
  • the fastening surface of the fastener 1 is substantially horizontal while the fastening surface of the base part 31 of the rail is substantially vertical. Hence, the base part 31 is secured to the fastener 1 at a lateral face thereof.
  • This position of use also allows the fastener 1 to be hidden in the final floor structure, by covering it by the filler and putty used, for instance.
  • the fastening surface of the fastener 1 is substantially vertical while the fastening surface of the base part 31 of the rail is substantially horizontal.
  • the rail structure lies, partly or wholly, on top of the fastener. This position of use allows the fasteners 1 to be hidden, if needed, by encapsulating, for instance.
