Definitions

  • This invention relates to a fastener for the application of objects on a backing, particularly in the form of a gypsumboard, comprising a driving unit having a plurality of thin and flat elements which are driveable into the backing and one of which is arranged to diverge relative to the other element(-s) during driving-in, as well as a plate connected or integrated with the driving unit and arranged to bear against the outside of the backing in order to serve as an externally available support for the object in question.
  • EP 0144388 discloses a fastener which, in addition to an ex- ternally available, hook-shaped plate, includes a driving unit consisting of three thin, flat and point-shaped elements of which a central, wide element can be driven into the gypsumboard at an angle which slightly differs (e.g.1-3°) from the angle at which two adjacent, narrower elements are driven in.
  • a basic object of the invention is to provide a fastener which admits a reliable attachment of other objects than just such objects which hang down vertically from the fastener substantially parallel to the wall and which fastener allows the application of objects of mos varying nature without the necessity of specially designing or adapting the fastener to the different types of objects.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide a fastener which can be subjected to substantial forces directed not only parallel to the plane of the wall, but also at an angle thereto.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a fastener which can be driven into the gypsum board or wall in question in a more simple, quicker and more accurate manner than the fastener according to EP 0144388, more precisely by modifying the driving unit.
  • the invention also aims at providing a fastener the engagement or holding ability of which is considerably improved by the possibility of driving-in a separate strengthening screw. According to the invention at least the basic object is attained by the features defined in the characterizing clause of claim 1. Preferred embodiments of the invention are further defined in the dependent claims.
  • Fig 1 is a perspective exploded view showing a base plate designed in accordance with the invention as well as an adapter being applicable on the base plate,
  • Fig 2 is a similar exploded view showing the same base plate combined with another type of adapter
  • Fig 3 is an exploded view showing the base plate and the adapter according to fig 2 modified in order to make it possible to drive a strengthening screw into an underlying gypsum board
  • Fig 4 is an exploded view showing an embodiment of a base plate being further developed in relation to the base plate of fig 3
  • Fig 5 is a lateral view showing the base plate and the adapter according to fig 1 in connection with the mounting of the adapter on the base plate
  • Fig 6 is a partial section through a gypsum board in which the base plate has been driven in with its driving unit
  • Fig 7 is a planar view from above showing the components of fig 5 in a separated condition
  • Fig 8 is a planar view corresponding to fig 7 showing the components assembled.
  • reference numeral 1 generally designates a fastener designed in accordance with the invention
  • reference numeral 2 designates an adapter for co-operation with the fastener 1.
  • the fastener 1 includes a unit generally desig- nated 3, which is intended to be driven into a gypsum board, as well as a base plate 4 which is intended to bear against the outside of the gypsum board so as to be externally available.
  • the features of the driving unit 3 will be described in detail hereinafter. Nevertheless it should already now be mentioned that the unit comprises three thin and flat elements 5,6,6' of which the central element 5 is wider than the two lateral elements 6,6'.
  • Means are associated with the base plate 4 for receiving the adapter 2 which is included in a series of different adapters for the holding of various objects.
  • said holding means consist of two spaced apart and substantially parallel guides 7,7' having an angled or L- shaped cross-sectional shape.
  • these guides 7,7' are advantageously made by punching a tab out of the base plate 4, which preferably consist of metal sheet. Additionally the individual tab is furthermore bent to be shaped with a flange 8 projecting substantially perpendicularly to the plane of the plate 4 as well as an outer flange 9 extending inwardly from the flange 8 at an angle thereto.
  • a web portion 10 included in the adapter 2 can be inserted.
  • this web portion 10 has a substantially uniform width and presents at one end an element 11 serving as a stop or dog, the width of said element 11 being greater than the width of the web portion.
  • the stop element 11 is in the form of a widened end portion integrated with the web portion 10, said end portion being located in the same plane as the web portion.
  • the base plate 4 is provided with at least one portion which projects a certain distance from the planar outer surface of the plate in order to be pressed against the inside of the web portion 10 of the adapter 2, when the latter is inserted, so as to keep the web portion urged against the outer flanges 9 of the guide members 7,7'.
  • this projecting press-portion is in the form of an inclined portion 12 at the bottom edge of the base plate 4.
  • the web portion is, at a distance from its wide stopping end portion 11, buckled along a buckling line 13 separating two parts 10 ',10' ', which extend at a certain, though small, angle relative to each other as clearly shown in fig 1 and ig 5.
  • the adapter 2 will automatically be maintained in a given position in relation to the base plate as soon as an initiated displacement of the web portion 10 relative to the guide members 7,7' ceases.
  • the same at an end, which is opposite to the stop element 11, has an angled or L-shaped flange 14, which is connected to the web portion 10 by a transition portion 15, the width of which is smaller than the width of the web portion 10.
  • recesses 16 are formed through which the outer flanges 9 of the guide members 7,7' may pass in connection with the insertion of the adapter 2 in the fastener.
  • the adapter 2 by its shape, may serve as a holder for mirrors or other panel-shaped objects, which should be applied against a wall.
  • Fig 2 illustrates an embodiment in which the adapter 2 ' consists of a clip, which, in addition to a web portion 10, includes two flanges 17,18 of resilient or spring-like nature which project from opposite ends of the web portion at an angle thereto.
  • the flange 17 forms a stop element having the same task as the element 11 of fig 1.
  • the flange 17 has, along its entire extension, a greater width than the web portion 10.
  • the other flange 18 has, in connection with the web portion 10, two recesses 16 on each side of a transition portion having a smaller width than the web portion 10. It is evident that the adapter can be inserted with its web portion between the guide members 7,7' in a direction from the top downwards therebetween, the wide upper flange 17 keeping the adapter in an end position.
  • the clip member 2 ' shown in fig 2 may, after application to the base plate, be used for the attachment of pipes, hoses or other long narrow objects against a wall behind.
  • the invention foresees the possibility of providing a hole 19 in the base plate at a distance from the driving unit 3. This hole corresponds to a second hole 20 in the web portion of the adapter in question.
  • a screw 21 can be passed through the holes 19,20.
  • the screw 21 is advantageously designed with a rather coarse thread and presents a tapering shape in a direction from the head towards the tip so as to make it suitable for fastening in gypsum.
  • the idea of fastening a strengthening screw 21 in an area at a distance from the driving unit 3 is as follows.
  • a stopping means is associated with the plate 4, more particularly in the form of a cone-shaped bulging 13 which has a helically extending delimiting edge, the arc length of which is slightly smaller than one turn.
  • the thread of the screw 2 has a diameter which is slightly greater than the diameter of the hole 12 which is confined by the helical edge of the bulging 13 and therefore the edge portion of the bulging en- gages between the threads.
  • Fig 4 illustrates an embodiment, which is further developed in relation to the embodiment of fig 3, and in which a collar 23 having a frustroconical shape is provided in connection with the hole 19 in the base plate 4.
  • This collar serve to snap in the hole or seat formed by the bulging 22 in the adapter.
  • the collar 23 offers a certain resistance inasmuch as the same urges the web portion of the adapter against the outer flanges of the guide members, but as soon as axial alignment between the holes 19 and 20 is achieved, the collar is snapped-in, whereby the adapter is distinctly held in its given position.
  • this unit includes tree flat and thin elements 5,6,6' of which the two last-mentioned ones consist of comparatively narrow tongues on each side of the wider central element 5.
  • the outer portion of the central element 5 is triangular and terminated by an outer tip 24.
  • the angle between the plane of the central element 5 and the plane of the baseplate 4 may be approximately 90°.
  • the two lateral tongue elements 6,6' are terminated by outer tips 25,25', which have been produced by chamfering the outer portions 26,26' of the tongue elements along edges designated 27,27' .
  • these chamfered edges extend from the outer edges of the tongue elements inwardly towards the associated tip 25,25', whereby the zongue elements during driving are imparted a tendency to move inwardly towards the centre of the driving unit rather than outwardly therefrom.
  • all of the tree tips 24,25,25' are commonly located along an imaginary plane which is parallel to the plane of the base plate 4.
  • at least parts of the tongue elements 6,6' extend at a certain, though small, angle to the plane of the central element 5. In the example shown the tongue element 6,6' are designed in such a way that the outer end portions 26,26' form an angle, which diverges in relation to the central element 5.
  • the driving unit according to the present invention does, however, include the development that the tips 24,25,25' are located in a common plane. This means that all of the tips can, in connection with the driving-in, be firmly held in contact with the underlying gypsumboard and be located for instance in a reliably horizontal position without staggering or dislocating the fastener out of its position in connection with a first hammerstroke.
