Abstract

An adjustable platform 1 is attached to the underside of an internal window sill 15 by countersunk screws 14. Height adjustment is effected by turning a countersunk screw or bolt 8 which runs within a plastic plug 16 inserted into the brickwork 17. The adjustable platform 1 may be injection moulded or extruded.

Description

- Fast window board fling system The present invention is a method of

fixing the front edge of a window board to P.V.C.u windows, but not exclusively, in such away that it eliminates the need to pack up the window board at the front edge on top of the inner brick or block work, using silicone and other packings to get the inner window board level with the outer window frame sill. Ibis is a time consuming and untidy method of securing the window board to the inner wall structure.

It is object of the present invention to obviate or mitigate the above disadvantages.

The new invention allows it to adjusts up or down to whatever level you which in seconds without the need of silicone or other methods of packing.

According to the first aspect of the invention there is provided an extrusion or injection moulding which has a countersunk hole in one side of the extrusion, this countersink is to take a screw but the hole is drilled for a size smaller, this will give a very tight fit around the screw and allow it to bite into the sides of the hole, the reverse side has two holes drilled at the front edge, size 6 screw and countersunk for same, these allow the front edge of the extrusion or injection moulding to be screwed to the window boarded when levelled and in place, this allows the removal of the window board at any time.

According to the present invention a hole will be drilled into the front edge of the brick work to receive a nylon plug or similar, this plug will receive a screw or bolt or any other suitable threaded method, which has been attached to the flat or any other suitable shaped injection moulding, this unique method will allow the the injection moulding to be raised or lowered as required to level the window board.

Further aspect of the present invention is that the injection moulding can be glued to the window board with silicone or similar.

A futher aspect of the invention is that the injection moulding can be affixed to the window board with double-sided adhesive tape.

Ibe extrusion/injection moulding can be made from plastic, metal or other similar materials. A second aspect of the invention is that the threaded screw or bolt can be a integral part of the injection moulding, manufactured from the same material as the flat or similar shaped platform, this eliminates the need for separate screw or bolt fixings.

A third aspect of the invention can be that the flat or other suitable shaped platform will have a skirt or flange situated below a indentation in one flat side, this indentation will receive a shaped head to match the shape of the indentation and the flange, the shape head is attached to a threaded screw or bolt, this is inserted into the flange and indentation, which holds the shaped head into the indentation in the flat platform, the flange or skirt has a bevel attachment to the inner face of the flange, this allows the specially shaped head of the screw or bolt to click into the indentation and be

withdrawn or replaced at any time, on the opposite side of the indentation is a slot or Philips shape that will alloOw a screwdriver to screw the threaded member which is attached to the platform as described into a plastic plug or similar, which is fastened into the brick or block work this allows the flat platform to be raised or lowered at will, to attain a height required.

A further aspect of the invention is that if the window board is required to be removed, a strong tug or knock on the underside of the window board will allow the shaped head of the of the screw shaped fastenings to be parted from the flat injection moulded platform which is attached to the underside of the inner window board, Conversely, the window board can be replaced on to the shaped head of the threaded screw or bolt after having been removed The present invention is a unique and new method of fixing and levelling a window board or similar to a P.V.C.u or timber or other, to internal window boards and the brickwork.

AL The specific embodiments of the present invention will now be discussed by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings Figl. shows plan elevation 1 a, lb, 1 c, of the flat platform or article.

Fig 2. shows a cross section of the platform or article and screw thread and shaped head and skirt or:Range of 2a, 2b, 2c.

Fig 3. Shows a exploded installation of the present invention 3, 3a, 3b, Referring to Fig 1 The illustrated drawing shows the possible injection moulded platform or flat article 1, serrations 2, on one side of the platform 1, a countersunk bolt or screw 3, with a Philips style screwing centre 4, double holes 5, equal spaced to receive counter sunk screws 14, on the reverse side of the platform.

Fig 1 a shows the injection moulded platform 1, a screw slot 6, and double holes equally spaced to receive counter sunk screws 14, on the reverse side of the platform Fig lb shows the injection moulded platform or article 1, a Phillips style screw head indentation 7, incorporated into the platform and double holes 5, equally spaced o receive countersunk screws 14, on the reverse side of the platform.

Referring to Fig 2, the platform 1, the screw or bolt 3, with a Philips style screw indentation 4, the double screw hole 5, and the countersink 9, with the threaded 8, screw or bolt 11, in position.

2b shows the platform 1, and the screw or bolt 10, and threadl 1, incorporated as an integrated part of the injection moulding, the double hole 5, and the countersink 9.and the Philips style indentation 7, in the platform.

2c shows the platform 1, a slot indentation 6, to receive a slot screwdriver, the double screw holes 5, and the countersink 9, the shaped head 12,of the screw or bolt 13, that clips into the indentation 20, and the skirt or flangel8, that has a bevel attachment 18, to the inner face of the skirt that is an integrated feature of the injection moulding and the present invention and platform, and splits 21, that allow outward movement in the skirt wall to facilitate the intrusion of the specially shaped head.

Referring to Fig 3, 3a is the injection moulded platform or article 1, with the countersunk head 3 of the threaded 8, screw or bolt l l,inserted into a counter sunk hole 19, the double countersunk holes 5, on the reverse side of the platform!, into which is inserted countersunk screws 14 that attach the present invention to the underside of the inner window board 15, the screw or bolt 8, is inserted into a plastic plug 16, that is inserted into the brickwork or blockworkl 7, when the screw indentation is turned either counter clock wise or clock wise this will allow the present invention to rise or fall to the correct level required

3b shows a injection moulded platform, 1, with a Philips style screw indentation 7, instigated with the threaded 11, screw or bolt type lO, these are injection moulded in one piece, showing the countersunk screws 14, that fastens the present invention to the inner window board 15, and is fastened to the internal brickwork as described above. D 3c shows a injection moulded platform 1, with a integrated screw slot 6, the integrated indentation 2O, and skirt or flangel8, and the bevel attachment 19, that allows the screw or specially shaped bolt head 13 to clip in and out at will, the two countersunk holes S. to the reverse side of the platform, and the countersunk screws 14, that attach the platform to the inner window board 15, and is fastened to the ironer internal brickwork as described 3a

Claims

s Claims.

1. A injection moulding or extruded platform that is used primary but not exclusively for the levelling and rising or lowering of internal window boards by use of a threaded screw or bolt inserted into a receiving article in any martial where fastened onto internal brick or block work primary but not exclusively when attached to P.V.C.u window frames or any other situation that requires secret fixing this also allows the removal of the window board at any time to allow access to the cavity or similar between the external and internal brickwork.
