Definitions

  • the present invention relates to attachment means, in particular a screw nail, for connecting plane components in dry construction, in particular for fixing plane construction material to a metallic substructure, the attachment means having a shaft on one end region of which a point and on the other end region of which a head are formed, a fine thread being formed on the shaft in order to increase extraction values of the attachment means, at least in some regions.
  • screw nails These types of attachment means are generally known and are often called screw nails. With temporary use screw nails according to the prior art can often no longer be removed from the components to be connected. With attempts to turn-out screw nails according to the prior art it could be observed that the thread in the thin holding plates of the metallic substructure often slips, and that one can not grip the screw nail in the holding plate. In those regions where plasterboard or wooden panels are attached over metal substructures made of thin sheet metal, with the screw nails according to the prior art it is only possible with difficulty to unscrew the screw nails which have been used from the components.
  • a screw nail is described on which a fine thread is provided in order to increase the extraction values of the screw nail and which is overlaid by a steeply extending, multi-threaded steep thread.
  • the steep thread is formed by grooves arranged in helical lines which are designed such that the screw nail turns into the components to be connected when driven in.
  • connection is only held by the material displaced by the screw nail being inserted in the insertion direction pressing against the shaft from the outside. Subsequent cutting of a thread in the material of the substructure is not possible, however, because the shaft and the fine thread of the screw nail presses the material to the side or does not even come into contact with it, and so the screw nail rotates in the construction material.
  • a further problem which occurs when attaching plasterboard or wooden panels onto metal substructures made of thin sheet metal is that the attachment means connects insufficiently to the supporting substructure, and this leads to a loose connection which can not assume any holding function.
  • These screw nails incorrectly inserted into the material are therefore removed in practice. Upon removing the screw nails the effect also often arises that the nails can not be screwed back in and turn blankly, and this has a negative effect with incorrect insertions.
  • the threaded region of the screw nail is driven totally through the substructure until a thread-free region of the shaft provided with a synthetic ledge is pressed into the sheet metal substructure which, due to the clamping which is established between the synthetic and the sheet metal, prevents the nail from being pulled out of the substructure unintentionally.
  • attachment means which are inexpensive to produce and, by maintaining reliable anchoring to the supporting metallic substructure, provides release of the attachment means if so required.
  • This object is achieved according to the invention in that a number of grooves are provided on the shaft which extend substantially axially to a central axis of the shaft.
  • the axis-parallel alignment of the grooves makes it possible for the attachment means to be driven into the material combination to be connected by means of an automatic nail gun device substantially without any rotational movement.
  • providing the grooves aligned axis-parallel to the shaft it is possible for small material projections to remain in the connection region with the substructure when the attachment means penetrate into the metallic substructure in accordance with the design and number of grooves.
  • these material projections provide a grip for the fine thread formed in the shaft.
  • the fine thread can cut thread turns into the material projections. Consequently the attachment means do not turn through the sheet metal but grip onto the material projections and can be unscrewed from the connection region again.
  • the grooves are arranged such that they extend from the point along a section of the shaft which coincides with the metallic substructure.
  • the grooves can reduce the extraction values of the attachment means, the grooves should have the smallest possible width, ideally so that the bars forming in the substructure do not buckle when inserting the screw nail.
  • the grooves can have a semi-circular, V-shaped or U-shaped cross-sectional profile here. Other embodiments of the cross-sectional shapes of the groove are also conceivable.
  • the fine thread is provided with self-cutting thread flanks.
  • One preferred embodiment proposes designing the fine thread as a flat saw tooth thread in order to increase the extraction values.
  • the flat fine thread can be a double thread.
  • attachment means In order to also be able to insert the attachment means into metallic substructures with a sheet metal thickness of between 0.5 mm and 1.5 mm, in a further exemplary embodiment it is heat-treated, and in particular austempered.
  • FIG. 1 a perspective illustration of an attachment means according to the invention in the form of a screw nail
  • FIG. 2 a cross-section along section line A-A according to FIG. 1 ;
  • FIG. 3 a diagrammatic partial illustration of the shaft according to FIG. 1 .
  • FIG. 1 shows attachment means 1 according to the invention in the form of a screw nail 1 .
  • the screw nail has a shaft 2 on one end region of which a point 3 and on the other end region of which a head 4 are formed.
  • a single-threaded fine thread 5 is formed on the shaft 3 as a flat saw tooth thread.
  • three grooves 6 are provided which extend substantially parallel to a central axis (X) of the shaft 2 along its peripheral surface.
  • a recess 7 is provided in the form of an internal hexagon in order to be able to unscrew the attachment means 1 with a screwdriver designed to complement the latter.
  • a screwdriver designed to complement the latter.
  • the recess 7 it is also possible to form the recess 7 as a cross slot or as a simple slot.
  • the attachment means 1 are heat treated, in this exemplary embodiment austempered.
  • the grooves 6 extend over the whole region of the shaft 2 provided with the fine thread 5 . In one exemplary embodiment not shown the grooves 6 only extend over a partial section of the shaft 2 provided with the fine thread 5 , namely the region from the point 3 onwards which comes into contact with a metallic substructure (not shown) when driving in the attachment means 1 .
  • the grooves 6 have a depth which corresponds to the depth of the fine thread 5 formed on the shaft 2 .
  • the fine thread 5 has self-cutting thread flanks 8 .
  • part of the sheet metal structure is displaced downwards and presses against the shaft 2 or the fine thread 5 such as to form a force-fit connection. Material projections remain in the region of the grooves 6 . If the screw nail 1 is to be removed from the component again, the latter is turned over the recess 7 in the head 4 and cuts a thread section into the sheet metal of the substructure, and this enables simple unscrewing of the screw nail 1 from the component.
  • FIG. 3 shows a partial illustration of the shaft 2 which, in this exemplary embodiment, has a double-threaded fine thread 5 .
  • the values shown here can optionally be adapted to the different areas of application, in particular to the different types of material to be connected, and therefore are to be considered here as just one possible embodiment, and so not as restrictive.
