Abstract

Deformable guide for partition walls consisting of a strip of sheet metal punched carved formed by a central strip (4) and wings (6) bent in a U along fold lines (8), said guide having portions (10) alternating with portions (12) provided with apertures, characterized in that:
a) each portion (12) has:
- two holes (18,118) with an axis of symmetry place along the bending lines (8),
- the edges of the wings (4) provided with a semicircular seat (10.120) with diameter equal to the diameter of the holes (10,118),
- a hole (22.122) disposed along the longitudinal axis of the guide,
- the remaining surface of the portion provided with a plurality of small holes (24), and

b) each portion (10) presents in correspondence of the central band (4) a hole (4,114) and four cusps (16) pointed facing outwards of the guide.

Description

  • The present invention relates to a deformable guide for partitions in general.
  • Currently, to form dividing walls or furnishing walls, metal structures are used, to support panels of plaster board or other similar materials.
  • These structures, which are simple and quick to prepare, enable walls of particular or arched shapes to be formed.
  • In the case of arched walls, deformable guides are used consisting of a die-cut and bent profile.
  • In particular, sheet metal is die-cut and bent to U or C shape to form U-shaped segments joined together by three tabs, one on the base and two on the segment arms.
  • To use the tabs, these are bent towards the interior of the U-profile to form a series of elements joined together by portions of lesser area.
  • An object of the invention is to provide an improved deformable guide which facilitates fixing of the screws.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a flexible guide which enables the guide to be adjusted during its installation.
  • These objects and others which will be apparent from the ensuing description are attained according to the invention by a deformable guide for partitions as described in claim 1.
  • The present invention is further clarified hereinafter in terms of a preferred embodiment and a modification thereof with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
    • Figure 1
    shows a strip of die-cut sheet metal in plan view,
    Figure 2
    shows the guide according to the invention in perspective view ready to be deformed,
    Figure 3
    shows it in plan view,
    Figure 4
    shows it in lateral view,
    Figure 5
    shows it in front view,
    Figure 6
    shows a modified strip of die-cut sheet metal in plan view,
    Figure 7
    shows it in perspective view ready to be deformed.
    Figure 8
    shows it in front view.
  • As can be seen from the figures, the deformable guide according to the invention is formed from a die-cut sheet metal strip 2 bent to the shape of a U comprising a central strip 4 and two lateral arms 6 disposed perpendicular to the central band along bending lines 8.
  • The strip consists of transverse portions 10 alternating with portions 12.
  • In particular each portion 10 presents in the central strip 4 a slotted hole 14 with its major axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the guide, and four raised cusps 16 facing outwards from the guide.
  • Each portion 12 presents:
    • two circular holes 18 with their axis of symmetry positioned along the bending lines 8,
    • in the edges of the arms 6, a semicircular seat 20 of diameter equal to the diameter of the holes 18,
    • a slotted hole 22 disposed along the longitudinal axis of the guide,
    • in the remaining surface of the portion 12, a plurality of small holes 24.
  • Once the guide has been formed, to curve it along its longitudinal axis the arms 6 of the portions 12 are pressed in opposing directions, whereas to arch the guide, the guide is pressed upwards on the central strip 4 of the portion 10.
  • When the guide has been shaped, initial resting against the structure is achieved by striking the pointed cusps 16 against the structure.
  • In the embodiment shown in Figures 6-8, the seats 120 are of semi-elliptical pattern, the holes 118 are of slotted shape, the hole 114 is a circular hole and the bending lines 8 are provided with longitudinal slotted holes 126 in the region of the portions 110.
  • From the aforegoing it is apparent that the guide according to the invention presents a plurality of advantages, and in particular:
    • easy centring both with respect to the floor and to the ceiling by virtue of the slots 14 and the holes 114,
    • gripping to the floor and to the ceiling by virtue of the presence of the raised cusps 16,
    • the ability to shape it as an arch in both directions (concave, convex),
    • easy fixing by screws by virtue of the holes 24 distributed over a large surface,
    • easy transportation by virtue of the guide rigidity, due to the ribs.
