Abstract:
A process for anchoring ceramic tiles to wall, wherein panels (10) are manufactured, made of several overlaid ceramic tiles (11, 12, 13) exhibiting threaded rods (18) to which rubber blocks (19), or blocks made of a similar material, are subsequently applied. The panels are then positioned and blocked in a final position by constraining the rubber blocks to shaped support brackets (25), previously fixed on the wall to be covered. The anchoring apparatus comprises rubber blocks (19), or blocks made of a similar material, which are shaped so as to be constrainable to the shaped brackets (25) by a simple operation of insertion and rotation by means of special levers.
Abstract:
The panel securing system comprises at least one panel (12) to be secured to one or more support members (14), each support member (14) having a plurality of first connecting means and each panel (12) having a plurality of corresponding second connecting means on rear surfaces thereof, each first connecting means being engageable with the corresponding second connecting means by downward movement of the panel (12) toward each support member (14). Each support member (14) is provided with a plurality of first connecting means in the form of horizontal slots (16) cut into the outer connecting surfaces (34) of the support members (14) adjacent the panels (12). The panels (12) are provided with connecting members (22) along the vertical edges such that each slot (16) in the support member (14) receives the connecting member (22) from both the adjacent panels (12).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a fixing element for double glass plates. Said element consists of a threaded bolt (2) with an expansion cone (3) that is arranged at the front end. A ring-shaped expansion element (5) can be slid onto said cone in order to expand a bore of the glass plate (6) that is at the back, whereby the bore is provided with an undercut (10) in the area of the bottom of the bore. The aim of the invention is to prevent a direct contact between the fixing element consisting of steel and the glass surface in the area of the expansion element as well as in the area of the threaded bolt. To this end, a cap (9) that consists of soft plastic and rests on the front end of the threaded bolt (2) is put over the expansion element (5). Furthermore, a distance sleeve (12) made of hard plastic that rests on the glass plate (6) which is at the back and that penetrates the glass plate (15) which is at the front is arranged on the shaft of the threaded bolt (2). Said sleeve is provided with a section (13) that supports the expansion element (5) and that engages with the bore (11) of the glass plate (6) which is at the back.
Abstract:
A sound absorbing system comprising: A wall (5); A wall bracket (1) that is affixed to the wall, the wall bracket comprising a fixing plate (6) which is affixed to and lies along the wall surface; a spacer element (7) connected to and projecting from the fixing plate so as to extend away from the wall and a support element (8) connected to the spacer element; A panel bracket (2) comprising a hook element (11) arranged to hang on the support element of the wall bracket and at least one barb (12) connected to the hook element and extending away from the wall And an acoustic panel (4) affixed to the panel bracket by means of the at least one barb penetrating the panel; such that the acoustic panel is positioned spaced away from the wall at a distance X from the wall and generally parallel to the wall.
Abstract:
A system for the assembly of wall panels, in particular panels with a vertical development, comprising at least two uprights (12) spaced apart from each other and at least one panel with a vertical development (11), wherein : - each of the uprights (12) provides slots (13) having narrow extensions or slits (14, 14') in a vertical direction, spaced apart from each other, fixing elements (19, 20) of the upright to a vertical wall (PV) and a lower levelling group (GLM) of the upright ( 12 ), - the at least one panel with a vertical development (11) provides, on its rear surface (26), facing the uprights (12) and the vertical wall (PV), a series of supporting pins (25, 25'), protruding from said rear surface (26) and which are inserted in slots (13) and/or narrow extensions or slits (14, 14') of the uprights (12), and, at one of its lower ends, levelling groups of the panel (GLP) which allow an adjustment of the position of the panel (11) in a vertical direction and a stable housing of the supporting pins (25, 25') in narrow extensions or slits (14, 14') of the uprights (12).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a panel-mounting system for the façade lining of a building, comprising a conduit (2) for a fluid, elongate profiles (4) configured to be fixed to a building wall, panels (6) for forming the façade lining by fixing them onto the profiles, wherein for each of the profiles an elongate contact area (7) is defined between the profile (4) and a panel (6) which is fixed to that profile. At least some profiles comprise an elongate metallic heat conductor (5) which is connected to the profile, arranged for exchanging heat conductively, through the contact area (7), between fluid in the conduit (2) and the at least one panel (6) fixed to that profile (4). The invention also relates to a method of providing a façade lining to a building wall, using such a system, and to a combination of parts for use in such a system.
Abstract:
A prefabricated structure for indoor dwelling environments includes a plurality of modular panels. Each panel includes an external covering associated with an inner body and with one or more engagement members; the engagement members engaging respective supporting guides which are fastened to the walls of a room; the inner body is provided with cavities adapted to receive fittings, such as hydraulic and electrical fittings, etc.
Abstract:
A cleanroom wall panel system is provided for defining the perimeter or interior divisions of a cleanroom. The system includes a plurality of elongate retainer elements, which are mounted to wall studs, and a plurality of wall panels with hook portions configured to engage the elongate retainer elements. The retainer elements and/or wall panels may be oriented at either of two different orientations, and further are designed to accommodate some variations in the positioning of the components relative to one another, which facilitates assembly of the wall panel assembly. Each wall panel's weight is supported, either directly or indirectly, by a floor surface located below the wall panel, so that the hook portions are used primarily to secure the wall panels against the retainer elements.
Abstract:
