Horizontal installation of ceramic panels

The sub-frame 4 is vertically mounted to the base frame and fixed to the base frame by screws. Referring to FIG. 7 , according to the arrows in the drawing, the clips 2 are mounted to the sub-frame rails from left to right and from top to bottom in the drawing, and the wings 27 are sub-framed into the cavity of the sub-frame. through the frame opening. The wings 27 are inserted between the sub-frame rails and run under the sub-frame rails. The clip is attached close to the sub-frame and rotates 90 degrees to clip the wing 27 to the sub-frame 4 by holding it in the cavity of the sub-frame 4 under the sub-frame rails. Then, slide the clip (2) along the rail to a preset position to align the round hole (24) of the clip (2), the wing portion (27) and the oval hole (41) of the sub-frame, and the clip (2) is fixed to the sub-frame 4 by machine screws; The elastic washer 3 is mounted in the elastic washer mounting holes 213 on the two sides of the clip 2 . Referring to FIG. 8 , the spacer 5 is clip-coupled to the baffle 21 . After that, the clip installation is completed.

After that, installation of the ceramic panel 1 is started. Referring to FIG. 9 , the relatively long extruded edge of the upper side of the ceramic panel 1 includes a hook 23 (upper clip relative to the second clip at the lower side) bent downward of the first clip, and an elastic washer In contact with (3), the elastic washer (3) is inserted upwardly between the bodies making it pressurized. Next, the relatively short extruded edge of the lower side of the ceramic panel 1 includes an upwardly curved hook 22 of the second clip (the lower clip relative to the first clip on the upper side as described above), and the second It is inserted between the second upper flange 211 supported by the clip. Furthermore, the horizontal position of the ceramic panel 1 is appropriately adjusted so that the left/right sides of the ceramic panel are in contact with the baffle 21 . Thereafter, the installation of the ceramic panel is completed (see FIG. 10 ).

Vertical installation of ceramic panels

The sub-frame 4 is mounted horizontally to the base frame, and is fixed to the base frame by screws. Referring to FIG. 11 , according to the arrows in the drawing, the clip 2 is mounted on the sub-frame rail in the drawing from left to right and from top to bottom, and the wings 27 are sub-framed into the cavity of the sub-frame. through the frame opening. Attach the clip close to the sub-frame and rotate it 90 degrees to clip the wing 27 to the sub-frame 4 . And, by sliding the clip (2) along the rail to a preset position, fixing it to the sub-frame (4) by means of a machine screw; Mount the elastic washer (3) in the elastic washer mounting holes (213) on the two sides of the clip (2). Referring to FIG. 12 , the spacer 5 is clip-coupled to the baffle 21 . After that, the clip installation is completed.

After that, installation of the ceramic panel 1 is started. Referring to FIG. 13 , the relatively long extruded edge on the left side of the ceramic panel 1 is attached to the downwardly bent hook 23 (left clip relative to the right clip) of the first clip and the elastic washer 3 . Abutting the elastic washer (3) is inserted between the body making the pressed state. Next, the relatively short extruded edge on the right side of the ceramic panel 1 is attached to the upwardly curved hook 22 of the second clip (the right clip relative to the left clip as described above), and the The cut edge on the lower side is inserted between the second upper flanges 211 to be supported on the baffle 21 . Furthermore, by appropriately adjusting the horizontal position of the ceramic panel 1, the extruded edges of the two sides are restricted to the appropriate position without risk of separation. Thereafter, the installation of the ceramic panel is completed (see FIG. 14 ).

With different mounting orientations, the mounting clips of the present invention satisfy both horizontal and vertical decorative arrangements for ceramic panels, which can be universally applied to both horizontally and vertically mounting ceramic panels. And, since installation is completed by requiring only one clip at the horizontal-vertical joint joint of the ceramic panel, the number of clips is economical compared to the conventional mounting system using a ceramic panel requiring a plurality of clips.

The clip is not exposed and cannot be observed from the outside after installation is complete, preventing the clip from being exposed and affecting the aesthetic effect (see FIG. 15 ).

The clip is in flexible contact with the ceramic panel by the elastic washer. Since elastic washers of various specifications can be mounted through the elastic washer mounting hole preset in the clip, it is possible to ensure that the elastic washer is in a pressed state after the installation of the ceramic panel is completed. It is possible to absorb an external impact force applied to the ceramic panel while satisfying the requirement for flexible contact between the ceramic panel and the clip (see FIG. 16 ).

Ceramic panels do not fall off easily. The elastic washer mounted on the clip is in a pressurized state after the ceramic panel is positioned, and not only absorbs an external impact load, but also increases the frictional force between the ceramic panels. On the other hand, the position limiting hook 212 is set on the hook bent downward of the clip to prevent the ceramic panel from falling off when subjected to an impact and to ensure the fixation and stability of the system (see FIG. 17 ).

The ceramic panel can be mounted separately or removed. In both horizontal and vertical decorative arrangements, each ceramic panel can be mounted separately by inserting an extruded edge into a clip; Otherwise, each ceramic panel can be separated by drawing the extruded edge from the clip. Installing and disassembling the ceramic panel can be completed separately to facilitate installation and replacement.

Those of ordinary skill in the art will understand that the present invention can be modified in various ways without departing from the scope thereof. In particular, the mounting system of the present invention can be used for a single metal panel, a metal honeycomb panel, a metal insulation panel, and a ceramic panel, but is not limited to the ceramic panel illustrated in this embodiment.

In the entire specification and claims, the word "comprising" and variations thereof (eg, "comprising" and "having") refer to other whole or steps or other whole or It is understood to mean including the whole or a step, or a whole or a group of steps, without excluding other groups of steps.

Any previously technically recited matter (or information derived therefrom) addressed in this Detailed Description or any known matter is not to be construed as suggesting recognition, approval or any other form of recognition. And, previously mentioned technically mentioned problems (or information derived therefrom) or known problems represent general knowledge in the technical field related to the present invention.
