GR1009759B - Wedge for the fixation and vertical adjustment of class panes - Google Patents

Abstract

Novelty: a wedge destined for the fixation and vertical adjustment of glass panes is disclosed. Technical features: the invention is composed of 7 sections: one main metal section with holes, two secondary metal sections with holes and thread and two secondary plastic triangular sections with holes (fig.1,2,3,4). All sections are held together via two screws passing through the respective holes (fig.1). Function mode: the clockwise turn of the screw urges the secondary metal section with the thread to converge towards the respective point of the main metal section by pushing outwards the secondary plastic triangular section being in contact with the glass pane which is, thus, propelled. On the contrary, the anticlockwise turn of the screw urges the secondary metal section with the thread to move away from the respective point of the main metal section, leaving space for the secondary plastic triangular section being in contact with the glass pane which is, thus, drawn back to this direction (fig.5).

Description

Fixing & verticality adjustment wedge Glass panel

DESCRIPTION

The invention refers to a wedge for fixing a glass pane to a floor or in-floor base, consisting of a main metal part with holes (Figure 2), two secondary metal parts with holes and thread (Figure 3) and two secondary plastic triangular parts with holes (Figure 4). All the parts are assembled together using two screws that pass through the respective holes of the parts (Figure 1).

Wedges for fixing glass panes to floor or in-floor bases, of fixed dimensions, are known.

Such constructions, delimiting balconies and terraces, passageways and separating open spaces and recreation areas, are carried out by anchoring a metal base to the floor and placing glass panes inside it in a row and fixing them using wedges. The adjustment of the verticality in relation to the KOL floor, the alignment of the glass panes in a row, is a difficult and laborious process. When placing each new piece of glass pane in a row, the installer should change wedges of different thickness each time in order to achieve the same level of all pieces of glass panes. In the opposite case, i.e. if there is a different inclination of the glass pane in relation to the next pane in series, the result is unacceptable for aesthetics, mechanical resistance to wind pressures and for people's safety.

An advantage of this invention is that at the same time the glass panel is fixed to the base and its verticality is adjusted, i.e. its inclination with respect to the vertical imaginary plane.

The wedge according to the present invention has the characteristic that with the clockwise rotation of the screw, the secondary metal part with the thread converges towards the corresponding point of the main metal part pushing out the secondary plastic triangular part which is in contact with the pane of glass. Thus we have a thrust of the glass panel (Figure 5). Conversely, by turning the screw counter-clockwise, the secondary metal part with the thread moves away from the corresponding point of the main metal part leaving room for the secondary plastic triangular part which is in contact with the glass to recede. Thus we have retreat of the glass in this direction (Figure 5). Figure 1 shows a perspective view of the wedge. Figure 2 shows a perspective view of the main metal part. Figure 3 shows a perspective view of the secondary metal part. Figure 4 shows a perspective view of the secondary plastic triangular part.

The wedge is in absolute cooperation with the glass panel support part shown in perspective view in figure 6. At any point of the base we place a wedge from the inside of the glass pane, we also place a base on the outer lower side of the glass pane. The seat has a hollow part on the back side and a hollow part on the bottom side, thus allowing the displacement of the glass panel either to the right or to the left in relation to the pushes or retreats of the plastic. of the concave part of the corresponding lower triangular part to touch the concave part of the opposite bearing of the

Schematically, the above are shown in section with the vertical imaginary plane and according to n triangular parts of the wedge according to one of each screw (Figure 5). In order to have an angular part that touches the point where the seat of the glass pane is located and

it is located at a point that is below the slop.

Claims (3)

A X I O S E I S 1. The wedge for fixing and adjusting the verticality of glass panes consists of 7 parts. One main metal part with holes (Figure 2), two secondary metal with holes and thread (Figure 3) and two secondary plastic triangles with holes (Figure 4). All the parts are assembled together using two screws that pass through the respective holes of the parts (Figure 1). 2. According to Claim 1, the wedge has the property of adjusting the verticality of the glass pane by simply turning the screws. Clockwise to push and Counterclockwise to retreat. This is easily done from the inside of the floor base and is visible from above and does not need any other processing (Figure 5). 3. According to claims 1 and 2, the fixing and adjustment wedge of the glass pane cooperates with a corresponding metal glass support part with a hollow part on its back and bottom side to achieve the desired adjustment (Figure 6). The glass panel rests on it and moves according to the thrusts or retreats of the wedge, as the case may be (Figure 5).
