Definitions

• the present invention relates to means for adjustabl attachment of door frames and window sashes to adjacen building members in the wall surrounding openings for window and doors. It comprises an attachment screw which is adapte to be screwed into the building members from the frames o sashes, and a ferrule which is rotatable on the screw withou being actually displaceable on same and the ferrule i adapted to be screwed into the frame or sash, the screw an the ferrule having external threads with the same pitch fo simulatenous screwing of both parts by means of a suitabl tool which when rotated will rotate the screw and the ferrul as a unit.
• the purpose of the present invention is to provide means for adjustable mounting and attachment of door frames or window sashes, of the kind referred to above, where the manufacture of the said means will be drastically simplified and where ferrule and screw, when the means is to be used are brought together by simple manipulation and are locked together during the screwing operation with a suitable tool which very well may be a well known key with hexagonal external shape fitting into the ferrule and an internal socket with hexagonal cross section corresponding to the hexagonal end of the screw.
• a suitable tool which very well may be a well known key with hexagonal external shape fitting into the ferrule and an internal socket with hexagonal cross section corresponding to the hexagonal end of the screw.
• this is achieved by providing the ferrule over a certain part of its length with a recess in the wall of the ferrule.
• One end of the screw can be inserted into the ferrule by movement transversely of the centerline or axis of the device.
• a collar on the screw will, when it is inserted in the ferrule slide into a groove in the recess so that ferrule and screw are locked together in the longitudinal direction.
• the curved part of the U- shaped groove has a center on the axis of the ferrule and a key of the type indicated above, will when it is inserted in the hexagonal socket in the ferrule and fits over the hexagonal end of the screw, lock, screw and ferrule together so that they can be screwed into door frame and adjacent building member as a unit in bores drilled in advance.
• Figure 1 is a side view of an attachment means according to the invention
• Figure 2 is a section through a ferrule which is one part of the attachment means
• Figure 3 and 4 are sections taken along the lines III-III and IV-IV respectively.
• the attachment means comprises as shown on figure 1 a ferrul with external threads 2, and a screw 3 with threads 4. Th pitches of the threads 2 and 4 are equal so that ferrule and screw 4 simultaneously can be screwed into bores in th frame and the adjacent building member. This can be done b means of a tool which fits into the hexagonal socket 5 in th ferrule 1 at the same time fits the hexagonal end 6 of th screw 3.
• the ferrule is provided wit a recess 7 which enables the upper part of the screw 3 to b Inserted.
• the recess is also provided a groove which wil receive a collar on the screw.
• the screw 8 fits the collar 9 on the screw while the recess 7 shown o figure 4 as the section IV-IV on figure 1 matches th remaining part of the screw 3.
• the upper end of the scre with the collar 9 is inserted in the ferrule 1 in th direction indicated by the arrow 10 on figure 2 so that th collar 9 is received in the groove 8 and will lock ferrule and screw 3 together against relative motion in the axia direction while screw and ferrule can be rotated relatively
• the groove 8 is as shown on figure 3 U-shaped and the cente for the curved part is on the center line of the ferrule s that also the screw 3 will aligned with the center line enabling the ferrule and screw to be screwed into frame an building member with a suitable tool.
• the screw 3 may hav any previously known design if it is provided with the coll
