Description
- The object of the present invention is a support device for a panel and a method to assemble a panel, in particular to be used in interior designs.
- Support devices for panels comprising a lower and an upper profile suitable to house the relative opposite borders of the same panel are known in prior art. In particular, after having applied the lower profile to the floor and the upper profile to the ceiling, the upper border of the panel is located inside a recess of the upper profile, while the lower border of the panel is located inside a recess of the lower profile. The panel thus assembled appears to be substantially orthogonal to the floor and to the ceiling and its height in relation to the floor can be adjusted by introducing shims. Indeed, in case the height of the panel in relation to the floor must be modified, the panel borders must be removed from the housings in the relative profiles. Then, a specific number of shims is located nearby the recess of the lower profile in order to obtain the wanted height. These shims are constituted for example by blocks in wood, metal or plastic.
- The main disadvantage of the solution above described is due to the fact that the adjustment operations of the panel height are time consuming and laborious. Indeed, each time an adjustment must be performed, the panel must be disassembled and in general, this is heavy and bulky. In addition, especially in case of glass panels, handling is critical because the operator may accidentally bend the panels or collide against other objects (furniture, machineries, walls), thus damaging the same panels or breaking them. Since adjusting the panel height is a frequent operation, carried out to compensate for the tolerances due to deformation under strain of the profile materials, the panels are subject to repeated mechanical stresses and tend to wear out quickly.
- Another disadvantage of the existing solutions is linked to the fact that the shims allow to adjust the height with rough precision, therefore for discreet pitches of at least a few millimetres, while the deformations of materials are in micron.
- Another disadvantage of the existing known solutions concerns the deformation of the same shims. Indeed, the shims which are subject to the weight of the panel, give way and deform, therefore additional adjustments of the panel height are needed.
- In this context, the technical task at the basis of the present invention is to provide a support device for a panel and a method to assemble a panel which overcome the inconveniences of the above mentioned prior art.
- In particular, it is an object of the present invention to provide a support device for a panel and a method to assemble a panel, which allow to adjust the height of the panel in relation to the floor quickly and easily.
- It is another object of the present invention to provide a support device for a panel and a method to assemble a panel that allow to reduce or eliminate the risks of damaging the panel when adjusting its height in relation to the floor.
- It is another object of the present invention to provide a support device for a panel and a method to assemble a panel, which allow to increase the average life of the panel.
- It is another object of the present invention to provide a support device for a panel and a method to assemble a panel, which allow to accurately adjust the height of the panel in relation to the floor, therefore to recover the tolerances due to the micrometric deformations of the materials.
- The described technical task and the specified objects are mainly reached by a support device for a panel and a method to assemble a panel, comprising the technical characteristics indicated in one or more of the appended claims.
- Further characteristics and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the illustrative and thus non limitative description of a preferred but not exclusive embodiment of a support device for a panel and a method to assemble a panel, as shown in the appended drawings, in which:

FIG. 9 shows a portion of the wall structure ofFIG. 8 , in a vertical sectional view; -
FIG. 10 shows an enlargement of the portion ofFIG. 9 (without gaskets), in a vertical sectional view. - With reference to the figures, 1 indicates a support device for a
panel 2. Preferably,panel 2 is made in glass for example of tempered type, with transparent, acidified or back-painted finish. Alternately,panel 2 is made in wood, for example subject to “open pore” painting. -
Device 1 comprises aprofile 4 defining ahousing section 5 in which theborder 3 ofpanel 2 is inserted. In particular,housing section 5 is delimited by a base 6, by a first lateral wall 7 and by a secondlateral wall 8 ofprofile 4. This way, thehousing section 5 boasts the shape of an open recess with the vertical section in the shape of a squared “U” with an access opening 9 (seeFIG. 1 ). Preferably,profile 4 is made in aluminium. For example,panel 2 has a thickness between 8 mm and 12 mm, while access opening 9 has a size between 18 and 20 mm. -
Device 1 is equipped with height adjusting means 10 ofpanel 2 in relation to base 6 ofprofile 2. These adjusting means 10 are arranged inside thehousing section 5. - Advantageously, adjusting means 10 are least partially arranged nearby the first lateral wall 7 so that, with
border 3 ofpanel 2 inserted in thehousing section 5, these adjusting means 10 can be accessed through afirst passing slot 11. In particular, as shown inFIG. 10 , thisfirst passing slot 11 is obtained betweenborder 3 ofpanel 2 and the first lateral wall 7 to allow the adjustment of the height ofpanel 2 already installed. More precisely, thefirst passing slot 11 is obtained between theborder 3 ofpanel 2 and atooth 7 a of the first lateral wall 7. Preferably,border 3 ofpanel 2 and the secondlateral wall 8 define a second passing slot 26. More precisely, the second passing slot 26 is obtained between theborder 3 ofpanel 2 and atooth 8 a of the firstlateral wall 8. - Innovatively, the adjusting means 10 comprise a
lower plate 12 and anupper plate 13.Lower plate 12 laid onto base 6 ofprofile 4 is equipped with cylindrical pins 14 (for example in steel) which are parallel to each other. For example,lower plate 12 has the shape of a parallelepiped ofsizes 50 mm×30 mm×4 mm and asurface 15 of larger sizes (50 mm×30 mm) with two protrudingpins such surface 15, as shown inFIG. 4 .Smooth holes 16 are obtained in theupper plate 13, onto whichborder 3 ofpanel 2 is positioned, for the passage of thesame pins 14. In addition, a threadedhole 17 is obtained on theupper plate 13, located between saidsmooth holes 16. Thesmooth holes 16 and the threadedhole 17 are through holes. For example, theupper plate 13 has the shape of a parallelepiped ofsizes 50 mm×25 mm×8 mm whichsurfaces 18 of larger sizes are crossed by twosmooth holes hole 17, as shown inFIG. 4 . Preferably,smooth holes hole 17 have a circular section and aligned centres. Thelower plate 12 and theupper plate 13 are parallel to each other so thatpins smooth holes hole 17 can house ascrew 19, preferably without head. Advantageously,screw 19 is located nearby the first lateral wall 7 so thatscrew 19 is in thefirst passing slot 11, withborder 3 ofpanel 2 inserted in thehousing section 5. The lower plate 12 (with pins 14), the upper plate 13 (with thesmooth holes 16 and the threaded hole 17) and thescrew 19 define in this way aspacer 20. - In a first embodiment herein described and illustrated,
profile 4 is made by afirst portion 4 a and by asecond portion 4 b which are different from each other and can be connected throughjoining means 21 so as to define thehousing section 5. Preferably, the twoportions profile 4 are asymmetrical, as shown inFIG. 2 a. In particular, thefirst portion 4 a defines the first lateral wall 7 of thehousing section 5, while thesecond portion 4 b defines the base 6 and the secondlateral wall 8 ofhousing section 5. - In a second embodiment (not shown), the two
portions profile 4 are symmetrical. In particular, thefirst portion 4 a defines the first lateral wall 7 and half of base 6 of thehousing section 5, while thesecond portion 4 b defines the secondlateral wall 8 and the other half of base 6 of thehousing section 5. - In a third embodiment, shown in
FIG. 2 b,profile 4 is made by a single piece. - Preferably, the first lateral wall 7 has a
joint seat 22 and the secondlateral wall 8 has a shouldered part 23 (for example, seeFIGS. 1 and 10 ). As shown inFIGS. 5 and 6 , joining means 21 comprise abent plate 24 having afirst end 24 a inserted into the shoulderedpart 23 and asecond end 24 b with abushing 25. In particular, thisplate 24 is bent to supportbushing 25. Note that the horizontal section ofbushing 25 is defined by asemi-circular groove 25 a and by a segment 25 b, as shown inFIG. 7 . Advantageously, bushing 25 can be accessed through the first passingslot 11 so that when subject to rotation, thisbushing 25 engages thejoint seat 22. Indeed, by rotating thebushing 25, this goes from an idle configuration in which segment 25 b is mainly parallel to the first lateral wall 7 to a working configuration in which the extension of segment 25 b is of incident type in relation to the first lateral wall 7. - In an alternative embodiment (not shown), the shouldered
part 23 is obtained in the first lateral wall 7, while thejoint seat 22 is obtained in the secondlateral wall 8. Thefirst end 24 a of thebent plate 24 can be inserted into the shoulderedpart 23. Thebushing 25, located nearby thesecond end 24 b of thebent plate 24 can be accessed through the second passing slot 26. In particular, when rotating thebushing 25, this will engage thejoint seat 22. Indeed, by rotating thebushing 25, this goes from an idle configuration in which the segment 25 b is mainly parallel to the secondlateral wall 8 to a working configuration in which the extension of segment 25 b is of incident type in relation to the secondlateral wall 8. - Preferably,
device 1 is also equipped withgaskets 35 which are snap-applied betweenprofile 4 andborder 3 ofpanel 2 so as to isolate thehousing section 5. In particular, thesegaskets 35 are applied so as to close thefirst slot 11 and the second passing slot 26, as shown inFIG. 9 . - As shown in
FIG. 8 , preferably supportdevice 1 is used in awall structure 27 made by a plurality ofuprights 28 andbeams 29 which define sectors in order to apply asmany panels 2. In particular,profile 4 ofdevice 1 can be anchored to afloor 30 or ground in order to build the lower profile ofwall structure 27. - The method to assemble a panel according to the present invention is described below.
- First of all it must be considered the use of monolithic profiles (therefore made by a single piece). A
lower profile 4 is laid onto thefloor 30 or on the ground and anchored to it. Anupper profile 40 is anchored to aceiling 32. Preferably,upper profile 40 is identical tolower profile 4. Access opening 9 oflower profile 4 faces access opening 90 ofupper profile 40. - One or
more spacers 20 are introduced into thelower housing section 5 defined inlower profile 4, in general two for eachpanel 2 to support. In particular, thelower plate 12 of eachspacer 20 is laid onto the base 6 of thelower profile 4. - An
upper border 33 ofpanel 2 is inserted into anupper housing section 50 defined in theupper profile 40. Alower border 3 ofpanel 2 is inserted into thelower housing section 5, in particular thislower border 3 lies onto theupper plate 13. This way,panel 2 is mainly orthogonal tofloor 30 andceiling 32. - The height of
panel 2 in relation to the base 6 of the lower profile 4 (and therefore the height ofpanel 2 in relation to floor 30) is adjusted through adjusting means 10 arranged in thelower housing section 5. Advantageously, the access to the adjusting means 10 takes place through the first passingslot 11 so as to allow the adjustment once installed. For example, by passing anallen wrench 34 through the first passingslot 11, thescrew 19 is screwed in the threadedhole 17. This way, theupper plate 13 is closer or further to thelower plate 12, thus allowing to change the height ofpanel 2 in relation to base 6 of thelower profile 4. In particular, when screwing thescrew 19, pins 14 a and 14 b and the relativesmooth holes screw 19 determines a change of height equal to about 0.8 mm. - Now it must be considered the use of a lower, non
monolithic profile 4, therefore consisting of twodifferent portions second portion 4 b of thelower profile 4 ontofloor 30. Thelower plate 12 ofspacer 20 is laid onto the base 6 of thelower profile 4. Therefore lay one or morebent plates 24 onto the base 6 of thelower profile 4. In particular, thefirst end 24 a of eachbent plate 24 is inserted into the shoulderedpart 23 in the secondlateral wall 8, as shown inFIGS. 1 and 10 . Then, thelower border 3 ofpanel 2 is positioned nearby the base 6 of thelower profile 4, in particular thislower border 3 lies onto theupper plate 13. In conclusion, thefirst portion 4 a is placed besides thesecond portion 4 b of thelower profile 4. The connection between the twoportions bushing 25 of each bent plate 24 (for example through the alien wrench 34) so that thebushing 25 engages thejoint seat 22. The adjustment of the height ofpanel 2 is done as explained above. In conclusion,snap gaskets 35 are applied betweenlower profile 4 andlower border 3 and betweenupper profile 40 andupper border 33. - According to the above description, the characteristics of the support device of a panel and of the method to assemble a panel are clear, according to the present invention, as well as consequent advantages.
- In particular, thanks to the first passing slot, it is possible to access the screw and adjust the panel height once installed. This adjustment is easy and quick since it is sufficient to introduce the allen wrench in the first passing slot, avoiding to remove the panel. In addition, the adjustment of the panel height once installed, allows to reduce or fully eliminate the risks of damaging the panel during the adjusting operations, thus reducing wearing.
- In addition, since each turn of the screw corresponds to a change of height less than one millimetre, the proposed device and method allow to adjust the panel height accurately in relation to the floor, allowing to recover the tolerances due to the micrometric deformations of the materials.
- In addition, the use of a non-monolithic profile (for example made by two portions) renders the assembly of the panel even easier. Indeed, in this case, the panel is applied to the “front” of the second portion of the lower profile and not through clamping. Only later on, the second portion of the lower profile is applied, thus defining the housing section.
