Definitions

  • a resilient flexible clip is positioned against one side wall of the stirrup device within one of the channels so as to rbiasingly engage the bent edge portion of an associated sheet member thereby forcing it into abutting assembled relationship with a cooperating bent edge portion of a similar sheet member which may be arranged in common or perpendicular plane.
  • the stirrup device may have one or more channel members dependent upon the shape and position of the sheet members relative to one another and upon the number of clips necessary to provide a biasing force on the bent edge portions of the sheet members so as to maintain them in assembled abutting relationship.
  • This invention relates to a facility for the releasable assembly of two sheet-metal members whose juxtaposed bent edges are straddled by a stirrup clipped in position, the facility being distinguished by the combination of an appropriate shaped stirrup with one or two clips of the kindv which can compensate for dimensional tolerances and which connect the stirrup to one or both of the sheet-metal members.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view, and FIG. la a view in horizontal section, showing the assembly of two sheetmetal members in alignment which form the base of a metal furniture item;
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective view and FIG. 2a a view in horizontal section of the assembly shown in FIG. 1 plus a third sheet-metal member which is perpendicular to the iirst and which forms a partition in the item of metal furniture;
  • FIG. 3 is a perspective view and FIG. 3a a view in horizontal vsection of a corner assembly using two sheetmetal members having the same edge lip;
  • FIG. 4' is a perspective view and FIG. 4a a view in horizontal section of a corner assembly using two sheet-metal members having different edge lips;
  • FIG. 5 is a perspective View showing the assembly of a side panel to a top panel
  • FIG. 6 is a perspective view and FIG. 6a a View in horizontal section of a variant of the assembly of two aligned sheet-metal members;
  • FIG. 7 is a perspective view and FIG. 7a a view in section'of two aligned sheet-metal members comprising, as in FIG. 6, edge lips which nest in one another, and with the use of a single-channel stirrup member and a clip made of round or square spring steel known as piano wire, and
  • FIG. 8 is a perspective view and FIG. 8a a view in section of the assembly of two aligned sheet-metal members having larger edge lips so that clips can be introduced into the single-channel stirrup member from either side of such lips.
  • two aligned sheet metal members 1, 2 form base elements and have the same edge lip and are dimensioned to receive a three-channel stirrup member 3 whose central channel straddles the two edge lips of the members 1, 2, the two lateral channels each receiving a clip 4 of a kind adapted to take up dimensional tolerances.
  • a partition sheet 5 is introduced into one of the lateral channels before the positioning of the clip 4.
  • the lateral sheet-metal member having the same edge lip as the base sheet-metal member is connected to the three-channel stirrup member 3 by a spot weld 6, assembly being by a single clip 4.
  • FIG. 4 shows a corner assembly between a lateral sheetmetal member 7 having an extra 90 bend and a base sheet-metal member 2, with the use of the same threechannel stirrup member 3 and tWo clips 4.
  • FIG. 5 shows an assembly between a vertical panel 8 and a top panel 9 with the use of an angle-iron whose vertical arm 10 is rigidly secured to the vertical panel 8 by a two-channel stirrup 11, a clip 12 which can take up dimensional differences also being used, the horizontal arm 13 of the angle-iron being rigidly secured to the horizontal panel 9 by a second two-channel stirrup member 11 and a second clip 12 of the same kind as the first clip 12.
  • FIG. 6 shows the assembly of two panels in alignment with one another; one panel, 2, has the same edge lip as has been shown in the previous drawings, but the other panel 14 has a reversed edge lip in which the edge lip of the member 2 engages, assembly being by means of a twochannel stirrup member 11 and a clip 4.
  • FIG. 7 shows two sheet-metal members 2, 14 assembled in alignment with one another; the members 2, 14 have edge lips which nest in one another.
  • the assembly uses a single-channel mmeber 15 and a clip 16 made of round or square spring steel stock.
  • FIG. 8 shows the assembly of two sheet-metal members 17, 18 in alignment with one another, the members 17, 18 having relatively large edge lips for the introduction of securing clips; the assembly also uses a wide single-channel stirrup member 19 and two clips 4 of a kind adapted to take up dimensional tolerances.
  • a joining stirrup device for assembling a plurality of sheet metal members each having cooperating bent edges positioned in abutting relationship with each other, the stirrup device comprising: angled portions forming at least two channels, said stirrup device removably mounted on abuting cooperating bent edges of adjacent members so that one of said channels of the stirrup device partially surrounds both of said abutting bent edges, and at least one arcuate shaped spring clip positioned in the other channel and adjustably' engaging one angled portion of said other channel of the stirrup device and the bent abutting edge of at least one of said members, so as to apply a biasing force between the stirrup device and those portions of said members located in one of said channels, whereby the members are maintained in secure assembled relationship to one another.
  • a joining stirrup device as in claim 1 wherein the stirrup devcie comprises angled portions forming three channels, including a center channel and two lateral end channels, one of said arcuate shaped spring clips positioned in a lateral end channel and engaging an angled portion of said strrup device and aY portion of at least one sheet metal member mounted in assembled position within an adjacent channel.
  • a joining strrup device as defined in claim 2 wherein two sheet metal members are assembled substantially perpendicular to each other, with an angled portion of one lateral end channel being secured to the bent edge of one of said members, said clip located in said other lateral end channel and biasingly engaging a portion of one of the sheet members, wherein said strrup device is securely fastened to the other sheet-member.
  • a joining strrup device as a claim 2 wherein two sheet metal members are assembled substantially perpendicular to each other and further comprising two arcuate shaped spring clips each mounted in one lateral end channel of said stirrup device'and'e'ach arranged'to biasingly engage a portion of a sheet nember so as to maintain them in assembled abutting position.
