Definitions
- a grating clamp More precisely there is provided a grating clamp for fixing grating to a support, where a fixing member fixes the grating to the support by bearing on top of two adjacent grating beams. There is also provided a method for fixing a grating to a support.
- Gratings are widely used for such purposes as building floors in industrial compounds.
- gratings made from composite materials haves been widely employed, particularly due to their corrosion properties.
- Patent application JP 2000265647 discloses a grating clamp for fixing a grating to a support, where a first clamp member bears against the grating and against a clamp member on the support, and where a second clamp member bears against the support
- Patent application U.S. Pat. No. 4,798,029 A discloses a clamp including a restraining dip for preventing spreading of adjacent beams on a grating.
- the purpose of the invention is to overcome or reduce at least one of the disadvantages of the prior art.
- a grating clamp for fixing grating to a support comprising:
- the grating clamp is thus fixed to the support and will not start to move relative the support even if the bearing against the grating should work loose due to vibration.
- the second clamp member may bear against a surface of the support facing away from the grating while the first clamp member or a third clamp member may bear against a surface of the support facing the grating.
- the first clamp member may be resiliently biased against the grating. By letting the first clamp member being biased by pretension towards the grating, it is less probable that the grating will work loose due to vibration.
- the third clamp member may be telescopically movable in the second clamp member.
- the first clamp member and the second clamp member may be biased towards each other by use of a screw connection.
- the height of the second clamp member from the surface of the support and up to the first clamp member advantageously should be one millimetre less than the height of the grate beam.
- the first clamp member may bear against the third clamp member, thus render a separate screw for the third clamp member superfluous.
- a method for fixing grating to a support comprising the step: fixing the grating to the support by means of a fixing member, the fixing member bearing against two adjacent grating beams, wherein the method further comprises the steps:
- the method may further include letting the first clamp member be resiliently biased against the grating.
- the grating clamp and method according to the invention overcome the problems experienced with grating clamps working loose due to vibration and thereby damage the surface of the support.
- FIG. 1 shows in a perspective view a grating clamp according to the invention
- FIG. 2 shows the grating clamp in FIG. 1 in a different view and with an additional fixing member attached
- FIG. 3 shows in a side view of the grating clamp a section of a grating and a support where a first clamp member is in an intermediate position
- FIG. 4 shows a section III-III in FIG. 3 ;
- FIG. 5 shows the same as in FIG. 3 where the first clamp member is in clamping position and where the additional fixing member is attached;
- FIG. 6 shows a section V-V in FIG. 5 ;
- FIG. 7 shows in a perspective view a grating clamp in another embodiment
- FIG. 8 shows a side view of the grating clamp in FIG. 7 and a section of the grating and the support.
- the reference number 1 denotes a grating clamp that includes a first clamp member 2 and a second clamp member 4 .
- the second clamp member 4 has two spaced apart U-formed plate sides 6 .
- the two sides 6 are spaced apart by welded in nuts 8 whereof a first nut 8 a and a second nut 8 b are utilized for clamping purposes.
- the lower shank 10 referred to the normal working position, has a contact face 14 .
- the first nut 8 a is positioned in the upper shank 12 .
- a first clamp screw 16 is screwed into the first nut 8 a.
- the first clamp screw 16 has a centre line 18 that is perpendicular relative the contact face 14 .
- the first clamp screw 16 and the first out 88 forms a screw connection 20 .
- the first clamp member 2 is plate formed and is positioned generally parallel with the contact face 14 , between the sides 6 and between the contact face 14 and the first clamp screw 16 .
- the first clamp member 2 extends outside the second clamp member 4 .
- the grating clamp 1 is equipped with an additional fixing member 22 that is screwed to the grating clamp 1 by a second clamp screw 24 in the second nut 8 b.
- the grating clamp is positioned between two adjacent grating beams 26 of a grating 28 .
- the grating 28 rests on a support 30 that may be a beam of a structure not shown.
- the first clamp member 2 rests on the lower flanges 32 of the two adjacent grating beams 26 as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 .
- the contact face 14 of the second clamp member 4 bears against a surface 34 of the support 30 facing away from the grating 28 .
- a gap 36 exists between the first clamp member 2 and a side 38 facing the grating 28 of the support 30 .
- the gap 36 is closed and the first clamp member 2 bears against the support 30 .
- the first clamp member 2 is thus further biased against the grating 28 as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 .
- the grating clamp 2 is clamping the grating 26 to the support 30 .
- the grating clamp 2 is clamped to the support 30 . Even if the grating 28 should work loose, the grating clamp 2 is fixed to the support 30 , thereby avoiding damage to any surface layer of the support 30 .
- the additional fixing member 22 is mounted to the grating clamp 2 and biased against the grating beams 26 .
- a grating clamp 40 of another embodiment is shown in FIG. 7 .
- the grating clamp 40 has a first clamp member 42 that in this embodiment has the same form as the additional fixing member 22 mentioned above, and is intended to bear at the top of two adjacent grating beams 26 as shown in FIG. 8 .
- a second clamp member 44 has a protruding contact face 46 that is designed to bear against the surface 34 of the support 30 .
- a third clamp member 48 has a protruding contact face 50 that is designed to bear at the surface 38 of the support 30 .
- the third clamp member 48 is telescopic movable in the second clamp member 44 in order to open or dose the gap between the two contact faces 46 , 50 .
- the first clamp member 42 bears against the third clamp member 48 .
- a third clamp screw 52 extends through a bore 54 in the first clamp member 42 and into a nut 8 that is fixed to the second clamp member 44 .
- the contact face 46 of the second clamp member 44 is positioned under the surface 34 of the support 30 .
- the third clamp screw 52 is tightened until the first clamp member 42 bears against the grating beams 42 thus clamping the grating 28 to the support 30 .
- the contact face 50 of the third clamp member 48 bears against the surface 38 of the support 30 .
- the grating clamp 40 is thus fixed to the support 30 and at the same time the first clamp member 42 is pre-tensioned towards the grating 28 .
- the grating clamp 40 is particularly well suited for use where the support 30 is covered with a not shown fire resistant material.
