Abstract

The invention relates to a hanging device for securing elements to vertical surfaces by means of two screwing parts, a) one of which is screwed together with the element to be hung, and b) the second of which is screwed together with the corresponding vertical surface (wall or any other type of surface). The two parts used can be the same (achieving a vertical securing) or slightly different, if a dual-securing (vertical and horizontal) is intended.

Description

ELEMENT HANGING DEVICE

SECTOR OF THE TECHNIQUE

The present invention relates to a hanger device for fixing elements on vertical surfaces by means of two pieces that are screwed: a) one of them to the element to be hung and b) the second to the corresponding vertical wall (wall, or any other type of surface). The two pieces used can be the same (getting a vertical fixation) or slightly different, if what is intended is a double fixation (vertical and horizontal).

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The devices currently used to hang furniture are the most diverse, but do not incorporate the differential characteristics of this device.

These state-of-the-art devices more similar to the device object of the present specification consist of hand-made slats with a square shape on one of their sides, and wedge shaped on the other.

These elements of the prior art have a number of clear disadvantages. Being manufactured in wood materials, they have the possibility of being attacked by pests (woodworm and drilling parasites) that are embedded in the wood, drilling it and causing them to lose their structural resistance.

This can reduce the resilience of these slats and therefore do not guarantee the structural resistance of the elements to hang, with consequent damage to things and people in case of accidental pick-up. On the other hand, being the devices of the prior art of wood, they are not always suitable for food environments, which require inert elements and that do not offer the possibility of incorporating biological contamination into their breast.

Additionally, prior art devices are attacked by water and liquids in humid environments, or in environments where cleaning with water is required, and may eventually lead to the rot of the material, and to lose its mechanical effectiveness.

A difficulty presented by prior art wooden devices is the possible delays and delays in export operations, since natural wood elements may be affected by protectionist restrictions of the laws of certain countries that require fumigation and quarantine of the elements made of natural wood in order to prevent biological contamination in the country of destination. This may involve delays in the delivery of merchandise and additional costs in assemblies or compositions that incorporate, in their exploded view, these slats are made of natural wood hangers.

The wooden slats that are used in the prior art also require labor in their artisanal manufacturing (cutting of the wood, diagonal wedge cutting on one of its sides and practice of holes, etc.) that the object device of the present memory does not require, being its automated manufacturing by plastic injection molds.

Another aspect to highlight is that the elements of the prior art do not incorporate new functionalities such as: a) they are the possibility of preventing the lateral displacement of the hanging elements, or b) be used for the easy placement of framed elements, such as frames or similar, a provision that can be obtained at will with the device described herein.

The prior art, as shown in the preceding paragraphs, presents functional, use, international marketing, and cost limitations due to its need for intensive labor.

EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION This objective is solved with the device object of the present document, according to claim 1 and following of this report.

According to the claims presented, the device object of this report consists essentially of two parts:

1.- A hanging piece (10) of quasi-prismatic shape that has a wedge-shaped termination on one of its sides. (Figures 1 to 7).

2.- A hanging piece (20) of quasi-prismatic shape that has a wedge-shaped termination on one of its sides, but unlike the hanging piece (10) in this case the wedge-shaped termination does not apply to the entire side of the piece, leaving a small portion of prismatic protrusion to provide the hanger with a lateral fixing functionality. (Figures 8 to 13).

To explain the operation of the device is based on two possible mounting modes:

Mounting method A) Mounting 2 hanging pieces (10) for vertical fixing. (Figure 14)

Mounting method B) Mounting a hanging piece (10) and a hanging piece (20) for vertical and horizontal fixing (Figure 15).

In mounting mode A) (figure 14) the hanging part (10) is fixed to the wall, (usually vertical, although it can be used in walls with another inclination) or wall, using the usual fixing systems available on the market (plug + screw, expansion plugs, etc.), for this purpose the holes (3) and (4) are used and putting the face (9) of the piece in contact with the wall (the ribs (7) must be seen of the piece), and in such a way that the wedge part of the piece is facing up.

Once this is done, a hanging piece (10) is taken and the element to be hung is screwed, using the usual fixing systems (plug + screw, expansion plugs, etc.), for this purpose the holes (3) and (4) are used. ) of the piece through which the screw or fixing element passes through the furniture or element to be fixed or hung, causing the face (9) of the piece to be in contact with the furniture element (the ribs (7) of the piece should be seen) and in such a way that the wedge-shaped part is horizontal and oriented downwards. The hole (3) has an elongated dimension, so as to allow the adjustment of the horizontality of the piece before its definitive fixation.

Fixed both hanging pieces (10) to vertical wall and to the element to hang respectively, the fixing of furniture and wall element is produced, by means of the wedge-shaped parts of the hanging parts (10), as is see in Figure 14.

In mounting mode B) (Figure 15) the hanging piece (10) is fixed to the wall, (usually vertical, although it can be used in walls with another inclination) or wall, using the usual fixing systems existing in the market (plug + screw, expansion plugs, etc.), for this purpose the holes (13) and (14) are used and putting the face (19) of the piece in contact with the wall (the ribs (17) must be seen of the piece), and in such a way that the wedge part of the piece is facing up.

Once this is done, a hanging piece (20) is taken and the element to be hung is screwed, using the usual fixing systems (plug + screw, expansion plugs, etc.), for this purpose the holes (13) and (14) are used. ) of the piece through which the screw or fixing element passes through the piece of furniture or element that is intended to be fixed or hung, making the face (19) of the piece in contact with the piece of furniture (must be seen the ribs (17) of the piece) and in such a way that the wedge-shaped part is horizontal and oriented downwards. The hole (13) has an elongated dimension so as to allow the adjustment of the horizontality of the piece before its definitive fixation. The hanging piece (20) has a prismatic projection (21) in its wedge-shaped part that ensures a horizontal fixation, preventing the horizontal movement of furniture and wall. Reverse mounting, that is, hanging piece (20) bolted to the wall and hanging piece (10) bolted to the element to be hung, is also possible.

The hanging parts (10) and (20) are fixed to vertical and movable walls respectively, the movable element and wall fixing can now occur, by means of the engagement of the wedge-shaped parts of each of the hanging pieces (10) and (20), as seen in Figure 15.

We highlight as another of the innovative features of the hanger system, the possibility of being used for hanging frames (canvas paintings, for example).

In this case, the hanging piece (10) is screwed into the lower part of the frame, using the holes (1) and (2) as the screw entry holes or fixing systems, instead of the holes (3) and (4). These screws or fastening systems will have an outlet through the holes (5a) and (5b), in contact with the inner side of the frame, inserting into the frame material to be fixed.

In the case of using the hanging device in frames, both mounting mode A (Figure 14) and mounting mode B (Figure 15) are allowed.
