Arrangement for attaching panels to support structures, a construction support structure and fastening means, and their use in modular building elements

摘要

The invention concerns an arrangement for attaching panels to support structures, a construction support structure, fastening means for panel elements and the use of such panel elements to create modular room building elements, e.g. wet-rooms. The inventive arrangement is based on fastening means having an skillet attachment strip made of a sheet-like material having a first edge and an integral tab having a second edge. The tab is then formed as a clip protruding transversally from the strip and having a first side and a second side and with a generally nose-shaped tab on the first side. In the support structure is provided a notch for receiving the clip in a locking engagement, with a cross-section having a first side and a second side, a waist part that is narrower than the dimension of the clip and including an integral element formed as a tongue on said first side. The panel element is engaged with said support structure by aligning the clip with the notch and by the appliance of force to move the panel element towards the support structure, whereby the nose-shaped tab of the clip is caused to slide over the tongue-shaped element to attach the panel to the support structure with a snap-like action.

主权项

1. An arrangement for attaching panels to support structures including:
a panel element; fastening means attached to said panel element comprising at least one elongate attachment strip made of a sheet-like material having a first edge: said attachment strip having at least one integral tab having a second edge, said tab being formed as a clip protruding transversally from said attachment strip and having a first side and a second side, a support structure having an elongate receiving means for said clip forming a notch with a cross-section having a first side and a second side, and said notch being arranged to receive said clip in a locking engagement to fasten the panel element to said support structure,wherein
the clip has a cross-section including a generally nose-shaped tab on said first side with said first edge being attached to the panel, said second side being slanted and ending at said second edge, the notch has a cross-section having a waist part that is narrower than the dimension of the clip, including an integral element formed as a tongue on said first side, and said panel element being intended to be engaged with said support structure by alignment of said at least one clip with said at least one notch, and by the appliance of force moving the panel element towards the support structure, whereby said nose-shaped tab of the clip is caused to slide over said tongue-shaped element to attach the panel to the support structure with a snap-like action.
