Description

Y — _ clamp for skylights and smoke extractors Full description

background of the invention

The present invention relates to a clamp particularly suitable for attaching the dome to the frame forming

Skylight cover or smoke extraction unit.

It is known that skylights and smoke extraction units generally consist of a cover 0 connected by one or more hinges to a base that defines an opening in the structure of a building and is connected to the outside atmosphere.

The lid includes a frame that supports the dome, which is usually transparent and attached to it by means of a clamp

,. Especially around the circumference clamp

Based on an example of a well-known type shown in the form (\), the clamp includes the clamp and is shown as a whole

With the symbol M on a first element 148 with a first terminal Ea connected to the frame T of the skylight or the yo smoke extraction unit and a second element Mb with a free terminal Eb resting on the outer part of the dome

© above T-frame

ZB 7 A is connected to the other by means of connection that includes the two nodes Mb (Ma) the two elements DIS

on both ends of the two mutually connected elements as well as the screw 7 that passes through a notch

It is in the second element MB and meshes in a threaded hole 7 in the first element MA . 0 and connect the threaded screw? Which works to tighten the pressure and overlap between the two elements nodes

to each other, and the dome C dome is firmly attached to Frame 1, which is located below it.

_ As — The first defect or shortcoming in the clamps of the type previously described is that the operator must, in order to fasten them, press his hand on the second element, Mb, downward, in the direction indicated by arrow 17, with the two nodes, ZB “ZA, sliding backwards until a desired degree of pressure between the dome © and frame 1. ° and then tighten the screw Vv that secures the clamp elements securely in the desired position. It may be understood that the degree of pressure with which the C dome ill clamp M is attached to frame 7 depends on the procedure performed by the operator, and therefore his experience and ability in this field are crucial. In addition to that; It is difficult, according to these AS, to guarantee the same degree of tightness for all clamps.

Pola connects the terminal 28 to the plate Va above the frame 1 by means of an interfacing bolt, therefore the fixing of the clamp 14 requires the countersinking of the first element Ma and the frame hole T and their reciprocating connection using the interfacial bolt 378 . 0 Accordingly, the manufacturer i must set a set of holes on the frame and on the clamp, and that once ash does that, he must use the clamp in the same position always. using clamps of the required type; The clamp must first be fixed in the fixed position in an unalterable manner and determined before installing the skylight or fume hood. b

_ ¢ — There is another defect a in covering end Ba of the first element Ma as long as it rests on plate P of frame 1 with a sealing ring 5 located between the dome © and frame 1. This leads to an uneven distribution Homogeneous pressure along the perimeter of the tire and may lead to distortion resulting in a lack of sealing.
