Definitions

  • This invention relates to a device for securing building panels or the like to a supporting construction, more specifically .of the kind in which the edges of adjacent building panels are onclosed between a rear strip secured to an element of the supporting construction and a front strip arranged in parallel relation to the rear strip and adapted to be tightly drawn towards said rear strip by means of wedgi-ng members.
  • the wedging members are constituted by hooks secured to the front strip and having beveled edges, said hooks projecting through openings of the rear strip and the beveled edges of the hooks coming into wed-ging engagement with the edges of said openings when the front strip is moved in longitudinal direction with regard to the rear strip.
  • Another object of the invention is to effect the wedging action by means of binding elements wh m y be secured to the rear strip and which are provided withloclnng tongues having beveled ed es which come into wedging -.ensagement with abutting edges of the front strip when bending said tongues in lateral direction.
  • Arurther object of the invention is to improve the clamping effect of the strips by giving a special shape to the front strip.
  • a still further object of the invention is to :make use of binding elements between the front strip and the rear strip which may serve at the same time to secure the rear strip firmly and adequately to a supporting element of the building construction.
  • Still another object of the invention is to provide the clamping device with a covering strip which may be readily snapped into engagement with the front strip.
  • Fig. 1 shows a practical embodiment of the device in perspective view, some of the elements of the device being partially broken away and the locking tongues of the binding element shown being in their inactive position, ie. before being bent laterally,
  • Fig. 3 is a perspective view of a bind n element and Fig. 4 is a front view with the covering $13.1 partly broken away and the tongues of the bind ing element being bent in active position.
  • the buildi g panels or slabs l are arranged with their lateral edges in parallel and spaced relation in front of the flange of a stud 2 of the support ng construction, so that between the lateral edges of the panels a space 3 is formed.
  • the panel edges are enclosed between two par-s allel strips, viz. a rear strip 4 and a front strip 5. Both strips have a channel shaped central portion 6 and 1, respectively, said central portions projecting into the space 3 between the panels 1 and being provided in the bottom of the channel with elongated openings or slots 8 and 9, respectively, arranged in spaced relation, only one set of these openings being shown in the drawings.
  • a sheetlike binding element II is inserted through each opening 8 and 9 and through a corresponding opening ll! of the stud 2 .
  • the binding elements I Lvvhich are thus arranged in spaced relation throughout the length of the strips .4 and 5, serve to clamp these strips firmly together and to press the building panels 1 against the stud 2.
  • Each binding element H see also Fig. 3 has on the rear side two locking tongues 12a and 12b and on the front side two locking tongues 16a and I31), said tongues being provided with beveled ed es 1,4.
  • the bind ing element H is provided with a shoulder. or cam It, s id cams L5 projectin e ond the edges f the opening 3.
  • ing element II two projections it, one on each side of said element, are formed by pressing the sheetlike material out of the plane of said element.
  • the front strip 5 has upturned flanges l I, I8 along each of its side edges, said flanges being engaged by the bent side edges 20 of a covering strip IS.
  • the tongues l2a and I2?) are bent in opposite lateral direction by means of a suitable tool.
  • the beveled edges Id of said tongues cooperate with the edges of the opening I 0 so as to draw the element ll against the stud 2.
  • the strip 4 abuts with the bottom of its channel shaped front part against the front edges of said projections I5 (see Figs. 1 and 2).
  • the projections I5 are disposed between the stud 2 and the bottom of the said channel shaped front part of the strip 4.
  • the clamping action is considerably increased by the special shape of the front strip 5, since by laterally bending the tongues I311, I3b the walls of the channel shaped portion I are forced outwardly, so that the flat portions of the strip 5 bearing against the front face of the panels I tend to swing backwards towards the rear strip 4.
  • the covering strip I9 is pressed upon the front strip 5, said covering strip I9 being firmly held in position by the resiliency of the flanges I 1, I8 and the bent edges 20.
  • a wall structure comprising in combination at least one supporting member, a rear strip extending in longitudinal direction of said supporting member and being secured thereto, a front strip arranged in parallel spaced relation to said rear strip, wall panels having their adjacent side edges spaced apart, their spaced edges disposed between said rear strip and said front strip and at least one sheetlike binding element secured to said supporting member and having a body portion extending from said rear strip, two opposedly extending hook shaped locking tongues positioned on an edge of said binding element, the edges of said tongues contiguous to said body portion being beveled, an. .elongated aperture at the back of said front strip receiving said tongues, said tongues being bent laterally of said body portion and the beveled edges thereof wedgedly engaging the front strip and forcing said front strip tightly against said panel edges.
  • each binding element includes a second pair of opposedly extending hook shaped locking tongues positioned on the opposite edge of said body portion, the edges of said second pair of tongues contiguous to said body portion being beveled, said second pair of locking tongues projecting through an elongated aperture in said supporting member, said second pair of tongues being bent laterally of said body portion, said beveled edges wedgedly engaging the edges of said elongated aperture and firmly securing the binding element to the supportingmember.
