Description
- This application is the § 371 National Stage Entry of International Application No. PCT/GB2021/050834, filed on Apr. 6, 2021 , which claims the benefit of GB Application No. 2004280.0, filed on Mar. 24, 2020, the contents of which applications are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety.
- The present invention relates to a brick line clamp.
- When constructing a wall from individual bricks, or blocks, it is important to be able to maintain the upper surfaces of the bricks in each row in the same plane as one another, usually a horizontal plane. Typically, this is achieved by inserting two line pins between bricks that have been laid at opposite ends of the wall and stretching a line between them.
- As an alternative to the use of line pins, it is also known to use a clamp as a means of positioning a line. Known clamps are spring biased, to enable them to be attached and removed quickly, but this does not enable sufficient tension to be applied to a line to maintain it horizontal, especially over longer runs. Examples of such clamps are to be found in U.S. Pat. Nos. 10,458,132, 8,672,307, DE29612988U, GB2508931_and CN209891742.
- With a view to mitigating the foregoing disadvantage, the present invention provides in accordance with a first aspect a clamp for securing a brick line, the clamp comprising two jaws, and a spring biassing the two jaws towards one another to enable a brick to be gripped between the two jaws, the spring extending between anchoring points on the respective jaws, wherein each of the jaws is provided with at least one additional anchoring point for a length of line for enabling the two jaws to be additionally urged towards one another by tension in the line tying the two jaws to each other, each of the additional anchoring point having the form of a T-shaped cleat around which a length of brick line may wound.
- If, on account of the length of the brick line extending between two clamps, the force of the spring is insufficient to maintain a grip on the clamped brick, the force in the present invention may be supplemented by using a line, for example the brick line itself, to tie the two jaws more securely to one another. In U.S. Pat. Nos. 10,458,132 and 8,672,307, tying a line around the accessible parts of the two jaws when the claim is use, would serve to release the clamp rather than increase the grip on the brick.
- GB 2508931, CN209891742 grip the brick in a manner similar to the present invention but both lack any anchoring point on the rear jaw to permit attachment of a line.
- In DE2961298U, the jaws are not spring biased towards on another and force is applied by squeezing the handle. The spring in this reference is only part of releasable locking mechanism that only permits movement of one of the jaws in the direction to engage the brick. Once again, once the clamp is applied to a brick, there is now way that a line can be secured to the jaws to enable the gripping force to be increased.
- In the invention, the spring is not therefore relied upon solely to prevent the clamp from sliding or twisting under the action of the line tension, as an additional force may be applied to prevent separation of the jaws by he use of the secure line anchoring points that are provided on the two jaws.
- The term “cleat” is herein used in the nautical context, to refer to a T-shaped anchoring point, about which a line can be securely wound.
- In an embodiment of the invention, each of the jaws is provided with two cleats arranged on opposite sides of the jaw.
- Hitherto, brick line clamps have been made of a plastics material, rendering them relatively fragile. In an embodiment of the invention, the two jaws are made of metal, preferably stainless steel. Such construction enables at least on of the jaws to include projecting teeth to grip a brick surface with greater pressure, thereby resisting any tendency of the clamp to slide relative to the surface of the brick.
- In some embodiments of the invention, a frontal jaw, for engaging an outward facing side face of the brick, is provided with a formation for locating the line in alignment with the upper edge of the latter side face of the brick and a rear jaw is provided with a formation for locating the line in alignment with the upper edge of an end face of the brick.
- Hitherto, the rear jaw of the clamp was constructed as a single flat member designed to engage a rear side of the brick. Such design limits the maximum width of a brick onto which the clamp could be secured. More recently, hollow blocks, for example, Porothene® blocks produced by Wienerberger AG or Poroton® blocks produced by the Poroton group, have been used for improved thermal insulation that have a width greater than 100 mm and these are too large to be gripped by clamps designed for use with regular house bricks.
- In an embodiment of the invention, at least one of the jaws comprises two or more spaced projecting prongs dimensioned and spaced to engage in cavities in a hollow block.
- As the prongs in such an embodiment of the invention are sized to locate in cavities formed in the hollow bricks, the maximum separation of the jaws need not exceed the full width of the blocks.
- According to a second aspect of the invention, there is provided a method of attaching a brick line to a brick_which comprises:
-
- i. providing a clamp having two jaws that are urged towards one another by means of a spring.
- ii. providing an anchoring point for a line on each of the jaws.
- iii. clamping a brick between the two jaws under the action of the spring, and
- iv. tying the two jaws to one another by wrapping a line around the anchoring points of the two jaws to increase the gripping force applied by the jaws to the brick.
- The invention now be described further, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
-
FIG. 1 shows a brick line clamp of the invention as viewed from the front and above, -
FIG. 2 shows view of the clamp ofFIG. 1 as viewed from the rear and above, and -
FIG. 3 shows the clamp ofFIGS. 1 and 2 as seen from below. - The
clamp 10 in the drawings comprises afront jaw 12 and arear jaw 14 that are urged towards one another by aspring 16. The term “front” is used to indicate the jaw nearer to the user while the clamp is being secured to a brick. The front jaw is also the jaw that will engage the outward facing side of a brick. Each of thejaws spring 16 is also preferably made of stainless steel. - The
front jaw 12 has amain body portion 18 in which three slots are cut. The upper twoslots 19 are for engaging thespring 16 that biases thejaws lower slot 20 enables atongue 22 of therear jaw 14 to slide therethrough, allowing the distance between thejaw lower slot 20 is only slightly longer than the width of thetongue 22. Thetongue 22 rests on an upper face of a projectingportion 32 of themain body 18.Notched guides 40 engage with thetongue 22 to assist thelower slot 20 in keeping thejaws portion 32 provides a flat surface that allows theclaim 10 to lie flat on the top of the brick, with thefront jaw 12 parallel to the side face of the brick. - Two
legs 24 extend from themain body portion 18. Thelegs 24 have in-turned edges featuringpointed teeth 26 along the majority of their length to aid the grip of theclamp 10 on the brick.Tabs 28 extend from the in-turned edges above theteeth 26 with their lower edge lying at the same height as the lower surface of the projectingportion 32. This allows thetabs 28 to rest on the top surface of the brick and resist rotation of theclamp 10 about an axis normal to the front surface of themain body portion 18. Thetabs 28 also serve to defineline location points 29 for allowing correct alignment of a brick line, i.e., points in the same plane as both the top and side of the brick. - An
excess line store 34 protrudes from the top of themain body portion 18 so that any remaining line may be wrapped around theneck portion 36 to avoid creating a tripping hazard or the potential for the line to be tugged and alter the position of theclamp 10. Thewider section 38 prevents the line from being pulled from thenext portion 36 and instead requires it to be unwrapped. - Two
cleats 42 extend from themain body portion 18 of thefront jaw 12. Each of thecleats 42 on thefront jaw 12 lies opposite a cleat situated on therear jaw 14. In use, once theclamp 10 has been positioned correctly, a line or other piece of string can be wrapped and tied around thecleats 42 facing one another, thereby locking theclaim 10 in position. - The
rear jaw 14 has amain body portion 50 which features ahole 44 44 with a T-shapedfinger 46 for mounting thespring 16. This allows the spring to be removed easily for cleaning the clamp after use. - The
tongue 22 protruding from therear jaw 14 defines the length to which the spring can stretch and therefore the maximum width that may be clamped. Thetongue 22 has an up-turnedtip 48 which acts as a stop for thefront jaw 12. The tip also provides a convenient place for the user to place their thumb when operating theclamp 10, while their fingers may grip the rear face of thefront jaw 12. - The top edge of the
main body portion 50 has twogrooves 52 for storing line pins (not shown), the shaft of the line pins laying across the top of thefront jaw 12 between theexcess line store 34 and thecleats 42. - Two
arms 54 project from therear jaw 14 in the direction of thefront jaw 12. The bottom surface of thearms 54 lie at the same height as the bottom surface of thetabs 28 and the projectingportion 32 of the front jaw, allowing thearms 54 to further support theclamp 10 in use when laying on the top surface of a brick. - The
rear jaw 14 has twoprongs 56 extending in the same plane as themain body portion 50. These are intended to grip the rear face of a brick that has a width less than the maximum separation of the two jaws. The spacing between theprongs 56 is such that they can engage in cavities in a hollow block, meaning that the clamp need not exceed the full width of hollow blocks. This allows the clamps to be used on both bricks and hollow blocks without being unwieldy. - The
rear jaw 14 additionally includes laterally projectingformations 58 each of which includes a notch for locating the line in alignment with the upper edge of an end face of the brick, thus allowing theclamp 10 as a whole to run a line in two dimensions. - The optimum strength of the
spring 16 depends on the widths of the bricks to be accommodated. To fit to narrower bricks, astronger spring 16 is preferred to permit a high gripping force to be applied despite the small extension of the spring. One the other hand, to fit wider bricks, a weaker spring is preferred to reduce the effort required in mounting the clamp. As thespring 16 is readily replaceable, it is possible to provide the clamp with two interchangeable springs. To avoid the spring that is not in current use from being misplaced, the clamp may be provided with locations for attachment of the spare spring. - It will be appreciated that various modifications may be made to the embodiment that is described above, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, without departing from the scope of the invention as set out in the appended claims.
