Definitions

  • This invention relates to means for the connecting or joining of beams or rods, for example of wood, that are used in the building industry when constructing horizontal or upright compositions, such as, for example, beams, roof trusses, walls, load-bearing floors and the like.
  • WO2020173093A1 discloses a connection that connects up to six discontinuous square beams.
  • the connecting piece always exceeds the volume of the beams, changing the contact surface of the beams to be joined.
  • unused connecting elements must be cut off. To realize this connection, it is also necessary to know in advance the size of the cross section of the beams, the number of beams and the configuration of the joint.
  • JP2003336321 discloses a building frame connector used to join first and second sections of a column, beams, a threshold or similar. According to the description, this connector can facilitate and simplify the production process, transport and installation. With this connection, a beam must always be continuous, which can increase internal stresses and decrease the strength of the construction. To increase the strength of the connection, the insertion grooves in the beams must be narrow, which is difficult to achieve. Since a number of pins are used in this connection, it is also necessary to accurately calculate the position of the holes in the beams, which can slow down the production process.
  • FR2647861 discloses an installation system for a detachable connection of a plane of a first element with a plane of a second element.
  • the mounting system includes a first and a second component, each of them includes a support plate; means, each of which are complementary to each other, to attach it to the corresponding element, and positioning, guiding and immobilization means, which are respectively male and female and are attached to the support plate, the engagement of one of these means in regard to the other leading the support plates to move towards each other until they come into contact, thus establishing a rigid and dismountable connection between the two elements.
  • the disadvantage of this known invention is that insertion grooves for the mounting system in the beams must be narrow to realize the connection.
  • the present invention provides a solution for these disadvantages with a connection that is easy to achieve.
  • the combination of the components of the connection increases the reliability of the structure by maintaining the contact surface of the connected beams and accelerates the production process.
  • the purpose of the present invention is to provide a connection that is easy to realise, increases the reliability of the construction by retaining the contact surface of the connected beams and accelerates the production process. This objective is achieved by a connection according to the present invention.
  • connection can be carried out repeatedly by means of a limited number of components, each of which has a specific form, without having to take into account the dimensions and features of the elements to be connected.
  • connection allows up to five connections of discontinuous beams with, for example, square cross section, to be realised on site.
  • connection does not exceed the volume of the beams. As indicated above, this means that no excess parts must be removed after the connection has been realised.
  • connection can be disassembled and reassembled.
  • the lateral movement of the opening of the connecting element of the connecting plate opposite the connecting plate is limited by a shape of the cut-out.
  • the connecting element of the connecting plate is resiliently suspended, preferably resiliently in the cut-out of the connecting plate.
  • the connecting plate comprises several protrusions, in particular protrusions with the features as described herein.
  • the connecting plate comprises, in addition to one or more of the previous features, a slit configured to insert a second connecting plate.
  • the end plate comprises a screw hole.
  • the method comprises sliding the connecting plates together using the slits provided in the connecting plates.
  • FIG. 1 shows a top view of an end plate 100 according to the invention.
  • FIG. 2 shows a top view of a connecting plate 200 in accordance with the invention.
  • FIG. 4 A- 4 C shows a perspective view on how a connection 400 is realized according to the invention.
  • FIG. 1 the end plate 100 is illustrated in a top view.
  • the end plate 100 as shown here includes a slot 101 .
  • the slot 101 has a width, preferably equal to the thickness of the connecting plate 200 , a length, preferably equal to the length of the protrusion 201 of the connecting plate 200 , and thus equipped for a connection with a close fit with a protrusion 201 of the connecting plate 200 .
  • the end plate includes two slots 101 , which are symmetrically located at the same distance from the centre line C 1 of the end plate 100 .
  • the end plate 100 preferably has a square shape.
  • the end plate 100 preferably has a screw hole 102 .
  • the end plate 100 includes at least 4 screw holes 102 , located at the corners of the end plate 100 .
  • the connecting plate 200 is illustrated in a top view.
  • the protrusion 201 of the connecting plate includes a cut-out 202 .
  • the cut-out 202 is centrally located in the protrusion 201 .
  • the cut-out 202 is symmetrical to the centre line C 2 of the connecting plate 200 .
  • the cut-out 202 is funnel-shaped.
  • This cut-out 202 includes a connecting element 203 .
  • the connecting element is configured such that the connecting plate 200 is connected to the end plate 100 by means of a conical pin 300 .
  • the end plate 100 is fitted with 2 slots 101 to be connected with two connecting plates and the end plate 100 and the two connecting plates 200 are connected to each other by means of two conical pins 300 .
  • the connecting element 203 of the connecting plate 200 is connected to the connecting plate 200 by retaining a thin strip of material 205 in the cut-out 202 .
  • the thin strip of material 205 is meant to refer here to a resilient suspension.
  • connecting element 203 includes an opening 206 in an embodiment of the invention, which is configured to permit a lateral movement opposite the connecting plate when inserting a conical pin 300 , after the connecting plate is inserted into slot 101 of the end plate by means of the protrusion 201 .
  • This lateral movement of the connecting element 203 in the connecting plate 200 is limited by a shape 207 of the cut-out 202 .
  • the connecting element 203 of the connecting plate 200 can move by bending the thin strip of material ( 205 ) transversally opposite the connecting plate 200 . This movement allows the thin strip of material ( 205 ) to detach from the connecting plate 200 and the connecting element 203 which is not used for the connection to be removed. By removing the unused connecting element 203 , it is not necessary to know in advance the size of the cross-section of the beams, the number of beams and the configuration of the connection and the connection also remains within the cross-section of the beams.
  • the connecting plate 200 includes a slit 204 , more specifically two slits 204 , which are configured to insert a second connecting plate 200 .
  • the slit 204 or slits 204 is/are preferably perpendicularly opposite the centre line C 2 , located on the side of a protrusion 201 and preferably has/have the width of the connecting plate 200 .
  • the slit 204 of the connecting plate has the depth to the centre line C 2 of the connecting plate 200 .
  • FIG. 4 A- 4 C shows an embodiment of the invention, more specifically a schematic representation of a connection 400 according to the invention in perspective view.
  • FIG. 4 A- 4 C show clearly that up to five connections of discontinuous beams with, for example, square cross-section, can be realised on site.
  • the end plate 100 is connected to a beam 500 by means of screw hole 102 .
  • the beam 500 includes a slot (herein also referred to as slit) 501 on the surface that is in contact with the end plate 100 .
  • the slot 501 of the beam 500 is located on the centre line C 3 of the side surface.
  • the width of the slot 501 of the beam 500 is at least equal to the width of a fragment of the connecting element 203 which includes an opening 206 .
  • the depth of the slit 501 of the beam 500 is at least equal to the height of a fragment of the connecting element 203 which includes an opening 206 after the connecting element 203 has been moved laterally.
  • FIG. 4 C describes a perspective view of an end plate 100 , which is connected to the beam 500 by means of screw hole 102 , and the conical pin 300 .
