Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for fixing an element, such as a surface covering element on a support structure.
- the fixing of surface covering elements such as plates of stone, marble or other materials on a support structure poses the problem of the visible parts of the fixing, the solidity and the cost price of the fixing, that is to say, in particular the cost of parts and assembly work. It also poses the problem of a possible disassembly or replacement of an element of the coating.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a device which allows simple and economical fixing of elements such as surface covering elements, and which also allows the removal of individual elements from a set of elements mounted on a structure. of support.
- the invention further aims to provide a device for the invisible fixing of elements on such a support structure.
- the device according to the invention is characterized in that the support structure comprises at least one support piece having two opposite faces having respective opposite openings, in that the element to be fixed is provided with a piece of elongated fastening whose transverse dimensions are slightly smaller than those of said openings of the support piece, so as to allow the passage of the fastening piece in these openings, and in that a leaf spring is integral with one of said faces of the support piece and has an edge in a free part of the blade, this edge being arranged in the vicinity of said opening for the passage of the fixing piece so that, when the fixing piece is inserted into the support piece, through said openings, the leaf spring is moved from its rest position by the fixing piece and comes to bear on the latter with said edge, em thus avoiding the withdrawal of the fixing part.
- Such a device allows, in particular, the use of a support structure easy to apply to a surface to be coated and the establishment
- the device according to the invention may include means for moving said leaf-spring away from its position of bearing on the fixing piece, so as to allow the fixing piece to be removed.
- Fig. 1 is a partial view of the rear of a device for fixing two surface covering elements
- Fig. 2 is a partially sectional view along the line II-II of FIG. 1;
- Fig. 3 is a partially sectional view of the device along the line III-III of FIG. 2;
- Fig. 4 is a sectional view along the line IV-IV of FIG. 2, further showing the use of a spacer to release the attachment.
- Figures 1 and 2 show two stone slabs 1 and 2 which constitute cladding elements, for example of a facade, to be fixed on a support structure, in particular on a profile 3 with rectangular section.
- This profile is itself fixed to the surface to be covered by conventional means not shown, for example by screws, means also not shown such as spacers being provided to provide a certain spacing between the profile 3 and said surface.
- Fig. 2 shows fixing elements of essentially cylindrical shape 4 and 5 which are fixed in the plates 1 and 2 in an appropriate manner, for example by gluing in blind holes provided in
- the fastening parts can, for example, be screwed onto support parts, themselves anchored in the plates 1 and 2, which is in particular an advantage for the transport of these plates.
- the fasteners can be linked to the covering plates in a movable manner, essentially in the direction perpendicular to their longitudinal direction, while remaining anchored in the plates in this longitudinal direction.
- the support piece 3 has openings 6,7 and 8,9 in opposite walls of the profile 3, so as to allow the passage of the fixing pieces 4 and 5 through these openings.
- a leaf spring 10, essentially rectangular in the example shown, is fixed on one side, for example at points 11 and 12, by usual means, such as rivets, on the rear wall of the profile 3.
- This leaf spring 10 has, at the end of its free part, an edge 13 which is, in the rest state of the leaf 10, in a position of intersection with the openings 6 and 8, as illustrated Fig. 1.
- Fig. 3 shows the position of the leaf spring 10 when the fixing piece 4 has been introduced into the support piece formed by the section 3, the free end leaving the opening 8 of this section.
- the edge 13 of the leaf spring 10 is supported in this position on the fixing piece and thus prevents withdrawal or any movement in the direction of withdrawal of the fixing piece relative to the support piece.
- the free part of the fixing piece the end of which is preferably rounded or conical to facilitate its introduction into the support piece, also has a circular groove 14 in which the edge 13 of the blade -spring 10 can engage in the event that the fixing part has been caused to move in the direction of a withdrawal.
- spacers can be provided on these plates, so as to come to bear on the support part when the plate is in the final position.
- Fig. 4 shows means for allowing the disassembly of the covering plates, and consequently the removal of the fixing parts from their position according to FIG. 3.
- the support piece has
- REPLACEMENT SHEET additional openings 17 and 18, aligned with the slot 19 which separates the plates 1 and 2.
- the opening 17 is arranged at a height such that a spacer 20 passing through this opening makes it possible to push the leaf spring 10 and move it away from its support position on the fixing parts.
- Fig. 4 shows such a member 20 having a thickness allowing its introduction through the slot 19 between the plates 1 and 2 and a height allowing its passage through the openings 17 and 18.
- This spacer member has, in the example shown, a toothing 21 which, by cooperating with the edge of the opening 18, makes it possible to block the member 20 in the position in which the fixing parts are released, so that the plates can be removed by simple removal, then remove the 'member 20 by releasing the teeth 21 from the edge of the opening 18.
- the member 20 acts on the leaf spring 10 so as to release the two fixing parts 4 and 5.
- the member 20 acts on the leaf spring 10 so as to release the two fixing parts 4 and 5.
- two separate leaf-springs are provided which cooperate respectively with these fixing parts, these two blades being connected by a part on which acts the organ spacing 20.
- Figures 1 and 2 show the attachment of two plates whose edges are practically contiguous, at a location close to these edges, but, of course, several, for example four attachment points are generally provided by rectangular plate to be fixed.
- the present fastening device can be used in many applications other than that mentioned by way of example, in particular as a coating for different architectural structures, ceilings, coating of other objects, the dimensions of the different members and the support structure. being adapted to each particular application.
