Abstract
A wall tie clip for use by builders when building cavity walls having insulations boards within the cavity. The clip is of flat plate form with a notched slot 12 and 14 extending some way beyond its centre, and has a plurality of integral pins 18 projecting from one otherwise flat face such that it will clip on a wall tie and grip the insulation by penetration of pins 18.

Description
Wall tie clip.
The invention relates to a wall tie clip for use by builders when building cavity walls having insulation boards located within the cavity.
It is common practice to use insulation retaining clips which can be attached to the usual wall ties which are built into a cavity wall to extend between the inner and outer leaves of a wall during its construction, that is to say in the mortar between courses of bricks or stones or building blocks, as the case may be, at different heights throughout the building of the wall. However, wall ties are of two main types, being made of either wire rod or flat steel strip. For this reason, at least some of the available clips are capable of being fitted to either of these two types of wall tie.
Of the wall tie clips presently available, none are capable of being connected to adjacent boards in a manner which, in effect, connects the boards together within the wall cavity. The object of the invention is to provide a wall tie clip which in addition to being capable of being fitted to either of the two main types of wall tie can be connected to the boards in a manner such that in being connected to adjacent boards they, in effect, connect the boards together and can very easily be used by bricklayers of only ordinary dexterity.
According to the invention, there is provided a wall tie clip for use by builders when building cavity walls having insulation boards located within the cavity, the clip being in the form of a generally flat plate with a slot extending from one side to a point some way beyond its centre, the walls of the slot being notched at the centre of the clip, the arrangement being such that the clip can be fitted to wall ties made of either wire rod or flat steel strip for the wall tie to be located substantially at the centre of the clip, there being a plurality of integral pins projecting from one otherwise flat face of the clip, the arrangement being such that, in addition to locating the insulation boards in engagement with the inner leaf of the cavity wall and free of contact with the outer leaf, the pins projecting from the flat face of the clip can be driven into the adjacent surfaces of the boards to more securely hold the latter in position. The walls of the slot will preferably be splayed apart at its mouth. The clip may be of generally octagonal shape with a peripheral rim part to give it a certain amount of rigidity despite its relatively thin material section.
In order that the invention may be fully understood and readily carried into effect, thesame will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings, of which:- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a wall tie clip embodying the invention,
Figures 2 and 3 are perspective views showing how the clip may be connected to wall ties made of wire rod or flat steel strip, and
Figure 4 is a view showing the clip in use in the building of a cavity wall with insulation boards located within the cavity.
Referring now to Figure 1 of the drawings, the wall tie clip there illustrated is for use by builders when building cavity walls having insulation boards located within the cavity and is a one-piece plastics moulding in the form of a generally flat plate 10. The clip illustrated is of generally octagonal shape with a peripheral rim part giving it a certain amount of rigidity despite its relatively thin material section. As shown, a slot 12 extends from one side of the clip to a point some way beyond its centre, and the walls of the slot are notched at the centre of the clip as indicated at 14. The walls of the slot are splayed apart at the mouth 16 of the slot. The arrangement is such that, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, the clip can be fitted to wall ties made of either wire rod or flat steel strip for the wall tie to be located substantially at the centre of the clip.When the clip is fitted to a wall tie made of wire rod, the central part of the wall tie extends through the notched part of the slot. When the clip is fitted to a wall tie made of flat steel strip, the width of the wall tie extends to the end of the slot. As shown, the walls of the slot are provided with protruberances 15,15 at its mouth, these serving to retain a wall tie made of flat steel strip within the slot.
A plurality of integral pins 18 project, as shown, from one otherwise flat face of the clip.
The arrangement is such that, in addition to the clip locating the insulation boards in engagement with the inner leaf of the cavity wall and free of contact with the outer leaf, the pins 18 can be driven into the adjacent surfaces of the boards.
This is illustrated in Figure 4 where a pair of adjacent insulation boards are located within a cavity wall being built using wire rod wall ties and wall tie clips embodying the invention, the insulation boards being shown partly broken away to show how the projecting pins of the clips have been pressed into the adjacent surfaces of the boards.
The result is that, in being connected to the adjacent boards in this way the clips, in effect, connect the boards together. It will be understood that, during the building of a wall in the manner described, some of the clips will, in effect, connect only an adjacent pair of insulation boards.
However, some of the clips may, in effect, connect four of the boards together at points where the corners of the four boards meet together at a single wall tie.
Various modifications may be made. For example, it will be understood that although the clips illustrated in the drawing are of a generally octagonal shape, and are ribbed so that they are of adequate stiffness despite being of relatively thin section, this is not essential. They could be of any other preferred outline shape or detail design, the only essential requirement being that they are capable of being fitted to wall ties made either of wire rod or of flat steel strip, there being the plurality of integral pins projecting from one otherwise flat face of the clip. It will of course be understood that clips embodying the invention may be fitted to any other kind of wall tie made of wire rod or flat steel strip. The wall tie illustrated in Figure 4 for example is a so-called double triangle wall tie but it will be understood that the ends of the clips need not necessarily be of this triangular form. Similarly, there are other kinds of wall ties made of flat steel strip and having ends different from the splayed end shown in Figure 3. A wall tie clip embodying the invention may be usable with any of these variations of wall tie.
Claims (4)
1. A wall tie clip for use by builders when building cavity walls having insulation boards located within the cavity, the clip being in the form of a generally flat plate with a slot extending from one side to a point some way beyond its centre, the walls of the slot being notched at the centre of the clip, the arrangement being such that the clip can be fitted to wall ties made of either wire rod or flat steel strip for the wall tie to be located substantially at the centre of the clip, there being a plurality of integral pins projecting from one otherwise flat face of the clip, the arrangement being such that, in addition to locating the insulation boards in engagement with the inner leaf of the cavity wall and free of contact with the outer leaf, the pins projecting from the flat face of the clip can be driven into the adjacent surfaces of the boards to more securely hold the latter in position.
2. A wall tie clip according to claim 1, in which the walls of the slot are splayed apart at its mouth.
3. A wall tie clip according together one of the preceding claims, the clip being of a generally flat shape with a peripheral rim part to give it a certain amount of rigity despite its relatively thin material section.
4. A wall tie clip substantially as hereinbefore described with reference to and as illustrated by the accompanying drawings.
