Definitions
- the present invention relates to a fastener for adjust- ably securing structural elements in relation to one another, for example for securing door frames or window frames in openings provided in structural building elements.
- the invention is preferably intended for securing frames fabricated from extruded or folded pro- files comprising a material suitable herefor, the walls of the profiles being relatively thin in relation to the total external measurements of the frames.
- the fastener is intended to be placed in a hole or bore which passes through a frame profile.
- Door and window frames have hitherto been fabricated mostly from wood, and over the years have been secured in wall openings and like apertures with the use of nails, any subsequent adjustment to the position of the frame being effected with the aid of wedges driven be ⁇ tween a defining wall of the opening and an opposing frame surface.
- a device known in the art as a frame screw was introduced for the purpose of securing frames in their respective frame openings.
- the frame screw comprises an externally screw-threaded sleeve which is screwed into a hole passing through the frame. The frame is then tightened securely against the inner surface of the wall opening with the aid of a screw inserted into the sleeve.
- the screw inserted into the sleeve is prevented, in some suitable known manner, from being displaced axially in relation to the sleeve, e.g. by means of a locking ring fitted in a groove, or by means of irregularities, ridges or the like created in the screw.
- Positional adjustments can then be made to the frame by rotating the sleeve, the externally located threads of which cut similar threads in the frame during insertion of the sleeve thereinto.
- the adjustment is carried out with the aid of a key spanner inserted in the hole in the frame, and it is possible to make adjustment subsequent to fitting the door or window architraying or reveals.
- window-frame fitters Due to the ever increasing use of extruded or folded window frame profiles, window-frame fitters have re ⁇ verted to the use of wedges when making positional adjustments to the frame. This is because the walls of the frame profiles are thin and are predominantly comprised of cavities, such that the profiles do not contain sufficient material to take the sleeve of a frame screw.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a fastener for extruded or folded frame profiles which obviates the need for adjusting wedges and which af ⁇ fords the possibility of adjusting the position of ex ⁇ truded frame profiles with the aid of a tool inserted into a hole in the * frame, precisely in the manner of a frame screw secured in a wooden frame.
- the single Figure of the drawing shows in section part of a window frame 1 which comprises an extruded plas- tics profile 2 and which is secured to a structural building element 4.
- the plastics profile is strength ⁇ ened, or reinforced, with a U-shaped extruded or folded metal profile 3 located in a closed channel or groove in the profile 2.
- a hole or bore 7 When offering-up the frame to the building element 4 there is drilled through the frame part strengthened by the metal profile 3 a hole or bore 7.
- the bore 7, which passes through both legs of the U-shaped metal profile 3 is drilled so as to present axially two mutually different diameters, i.e.
- a device 5 incorporated in the fastener is intended for insertion into the bore sec- tion of larger diameter and partially through the strengthened part of the frame.
- the device 5 which is preferably made of a plastics material and which is shown partially cut away, includes a first, coarse tubular part 6 to which the bore section of larger diameter conforms, and a second, finer tubular part 8 which is located concentrically with the first tubular part 6 in the axial extension thereof and which conforms to the smaller diameter of the bore 7.
- abutment surface which lies against the inner surface of the lower leg of the U-shaped metal profile 3.
- the second tubular part 8 of the device 5 is divided by an axially extend- ing slot 11 into two resilient tongues 9, 10, the free ends of which have formed externally thereon hook-like bulges 12, the passage of which through the narrower part of the bore 7 being made possible by resilient compression of the tongues 9, 10.
- the hook-like bulges 12 grip around the edges of the mouth of the hole or bore in the side or wall of the frame facing the build ⁇ ing element.
- the frame 1 is secured to the building element 4 with the aid of a screw 13 co-acting with the device 5; the counter-sunk head of which is in ⁇ tended to abut an internal, conical abutment surface located at the junction between the two tubular device parts 6 , 8.
- the first tubular coarse part 6 has pro ⁇ vided therein resilient elements 14 which spring to one side when screwing in the screw 13 and which spring back when passed by the head of the screw, so as to lock the screw in the device 5.
- the device 5 is locked to the frame partly through the lying of the external abutment surface against the lower leg of the profile 3 and partly through the engagement of the hook-like bulges 12 with the defining edges of the mouth of the narrower part of the hole or bore 7 , and through the fact that the screw 13 inserted through the device prevents the tongues 9, 10 from being sprung out of engagement with the mouth of said hole or bore when subjected to axial loads.
- the conical abutment surface located internally of the device and the internally located hooks or members 14 prevent the screw 13 from moving axially in relation to the device 5. Consequently, when screwing or unscrewing the screw 13, the device 5, and therewith the frame 1 , is caused to move in accompaniment with axial positional changes made to the head of the screw 13. This provides the positional adjustability of the frame constituting the object of this invention.
- the fastener can also be used in conjunction with wooden frames, provided that there is drilled a first through-passing hole having a diameter which corresponds with the diameter of the second tubular part 8 of the device, and that a section of this first hole, or bore, is subsequently widened to a diameter corresponding to the diameter of the first tubular part 6, this wider section of the bore 7 termi- nating at a point on the frame at which the length ex ⁇ tension of the residual frame part corresponds to the length of the second part 8 of the device 5-.
- the fact that the fastener can be used with both wooden frames and extruded frame profiles affords important advantages inter alia, from a handling and storage point of view.
