Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to an acoustic panels fastening system.
  • Chemical fastening consists of a glueing process, wherein various types of adhesive substances are used, in particular glues suitable to the two surfaces to be joined.
  • the quality of the adhesive substances/glues depends on the respective features of the surfaces and requires a drying period, during which the panels may suffer dislocations. Once the glueing process is dried and finished, it becomes a permanent solution, requiring scraping and treatment of the surfaces prior to any change in the used panels.
  • Document US3903671 relates to lining systems for building surfaces such as walls or ceilings.
  • the structure uses at least two spaced parallel rails, adjustable connectors sliding on the rails and panel attachment members secured to the rails by the connectors and serving to support facing panels, for example gypsum wall boards.
  • the connectors are adjustable in three mutually perpendicular directions being slidable along the rails and along the attachment members and adjustable to vary the spacing between the rail and the attachment member.
  • Panels may be secured to the attachment members by any suitable means such as screws, clips, adhesives or edge engagement.
  • Attachment members may be elongated, in the form of studs, or short locally operative clips.
  • the invention is defined by an acoustic panels fastening system for plane surfaces, as delimited in claim 1.
  • the present disclosure relates to an acoustic panels fastening system simultaneously compatible with a vertical assembly and with fastening in horizontal plane surfaces, in particular ceilings, and vertical ones, in particular walls, this being therefore a universal system for all types of fastening: horizontal surfaces, vertical surfaces and vertical piling.
  • the disclosure herein presented comprises three particular advantages.
  • the first advantage is allowing the assembly to be made easily; using a provided reference, plugs or fastening points are placed in key-spots in the desired surface.
  • fittings clips or fitting-clip
  • a beam is fitted in the fittings, in which the panels are subsequently fitted.
  • the panels are fitted by means of two fittings, a "rail” and a fitting (clip or fitting-clip).
  • the rail is screwed to the panel, having a groove for the fitting or fitting-clip. The panels are easily removed and reorganised.
  • the installation is independent of the state or level of the surface, allowing installation in curved surfaces and dihedral corners.
  • the cavity created between the surface and the back of the panel creates an air gap, which not only increases the performance of the panel, but it also enables the possibility of assembling other utilities on the surface, in particular water and gas pipes, electrical cable trays, drastically decreasing the cost, time, and structural impact of an installation.
  • the air gap also influences the thermal performance of the room.
  • the second advantage is the alignment between panels. After being assembled on the beam, a horizontal adjustment is possible, in particular sliding along the beam, and a vertical adjustment, in particular the fitting of the panel ensures a good junction between panels.
  • the third advantage is the uncoupling effect between panel and wall. Since there is no direct contact between the wall fitting and the panel fitting, there are several implications. There is a better performance with regards to low frequencies from the surface, since there is no mechanical transfer. There is also less wear in fastening the wall fitting, given the reduction in vibrations. Overall, there is an improvement in the performance of the panels.
  • the fastening system herein disclosed is a durable system, user-friendly, it increases the performance of the adjunct system, that fulfils the requirements of international standards on construction and fire resistance, with possibility of being incorporated with other work aspects, reducing time, cost and impact of installations, as it can be incorporated with local materials, diminishing the necessary quantity to export, indirectly improving the environmental impact associated with the product.
  • the present disclosure thus ensures the alignment and fastening of acoustic panels on horizontal and vertical surfaces, in particular on walls and ceilings, respectively.
  • the present disclosure allows a faster assembling, with alignment adjustments in all directions and wherein the assembly quality is not dependent on the quality of the surface, that is, this disclosure differs from the fastening systems disclosed in the state of the art.
  • the disclosure herein presented is a durable fastening system, resistant to mechanical wear; it uncouples the panel from the surface, increasing the performance; it allows changing the panel arrangement; it is universal, any product that can be screwed with a small screw is compatible; easy disassembly for maintenance purposes or substitution of damaged parts; it creates an air gap around the space, with the proper implications of thermal and acoustic insulation; it doesn't require expert tools; it is a unique solution for all different fastening situations and needs - vertical surfaces, horizontal ones or vertical piling, in particular constructing a wall or barrier with the panels themselves.
  • the present disclosure is an economical solution from the point of view of production, since it uses the same type of supports and clamps both for the panels and for the surfaces; in the case of the vertical piling of panels for creating an acoustic barrier, it allows using small segments of tube, facilitating the assembly and diminishing the expedition costs; the assembly of the panels is easily made, with a simple fitting movement; it is easy and simple to install, by simply aligning adequately the tubular structures; it allows horizontal adjustment, in particular sliding along the tube, and vertical adjustment, in particular sliding the clamp in the support fastened to the panel, ensuring a perfect alignment between panels.
  • the acoustic panels of the present disclosure may be easily removed, substituted or reorganised, according to a possible need.
  • the uncoupling between the panels and the wall brings several advantages, since the cavity created between the surface and the back of the panel creates an air gap allowing:
  • the disclosure is associated with a scale economy, with a single type of supports and clamps, both for panels and for surfaces; it allows using anti-vibration rubbers in the clamps.
  • the assembly of acoustic panels is characterised by an assembly is simple and quick, without needing to resort to specialised tools; it allows alignment adjustments in all directions; it allows changing the arrangement of panels; easy disassembly for purposes of maintenance or substitution of parts; it allows substituting the panels contrary to chemical fastenings; durable, not dependent on the quality of the surface; it allows the application to irregular surfaces; it uncouples the panel from the surface, increasing the acoustic performance; it allows the coexistence of other installations such as pipelines or electrical cable trays in the air gap between the panel and the surface.
  • the present disclosure comprises the use of a support tubular structure allowing clamps to fit in.
  • these clamps are fitted in supports fastened, in particular with screws, to the acoustic panels, and to the surfaces that will receive the acoustic treatment.
  • the same clamps are therefore the connecting element of the tubular structure both to the acoustic panel and to the walls.
  • a beam is a structural element functioning as a bar so that both terms may be used interchangeably.
  • first sliding axis and the second sliding axis are in different directions, in particular from a plane parallel to the back of the acoustic panel.
  • the support structure for acoustic panels herein disclosed provides an air gap between the back thereof and the plane surface
  • the plane surface may be for example a wall.
  • the beam and the fitting-clip may be fastened by a sliding male-female fitting.
  • the rail and the fitting-clip may be connected by a sliding male-female fitting.
  • the beam may be cylindrical.
  • the disclosure also relates to a kit comprising the acoustic panels fastening system according to the invention.
  • the present invention includes an acoustic panels fastening system according to independent claim 1.
  • each acoustic panel is removable.
  • the plane surfaces may be horizontal plane surfaces or vertical plane surfaces, wherein the horizontal plane surfaces are ceilings and the vertical plane surfaces are walls.
  • the fastening system may further comprise fastening means of the rail to the panel.
  • the fastening means may be screws.
  • each acoustic panel may comprise 4 rails arranged in vertexes of the panel, 4 screws and 4 elements for fitting in the rail and in the beam.
  • the fastening element may be a plug.
  • the disclosure herein presented comprises an acoustic panels fastening system, the fastening system being simultaneously compatible with a vertical assembly and with fastening in horizontal plane surfaces, in particular ceilings, and vertical ones, in particular walls, this being a universal system for all types of fastening: horizontal surfaces, vertical surfaces and vertical piling.
  • Figure 7 represents an embodiment wherein 4 acoustic panels may be placed, their placement being made at height.
  • Figure 8 represents an embodiment wherein 8 acoustic panels may be placed, 4 of these panels being placed at height, as figure 7 shows and the remaining 4 panels are also placed at height and to the side of the first 4 panels previously arranged.
  • each acoustic panel comprises a rail, fastening means of the rail to the panel and a fitting element to the rail and to the beam creating an air gap between a surface of the acoustic panel and the plane surface or wall.
  • the fittings necessary to fasten acoustic panels are male-female fittings.
  • the rail may be of metal or plastic.
  • the fitting/clip/element, in particular fitting-clip, for fitting may be of plastic or metal.
  • the rail may be screwed to the acoustic panel and afterwards the fitting/clip/element for fitting may be inserted in the rail.
  • the rail and the fitting/clip/element, in particular fitting-clip, for fitting may be coupled to each other and afterwards this set may be screwed to the acoustic panel.
  • the set of rail, fitting/clip/element, in particular fitting-clip, for fitting and screw may be distributed along the panel, in particular each set may be placed in a vertex of the acoustic panel.
  • each acoustic panel comprises 4 sets of rail, fitting/clip/element, in particular fitting-clip, for fitting and screw positioned in the respective vertexes of the panel.
