METHOD FOR COVERING A SHIP DECK AND AN INSTALLATION TOOL

摘要

A method and a mounting tool (10) for surfacing a ship's deck (30) with planks (20) or surfacing elements (21) formed from deck planks, by attaching the planks or elements to the deck. When the planks are being mounted, a plate-like mounting tool (10) having guide tabs (12) on its underside is set over the deck planks, the guide tabs entering into the spaces between the deck planks, determining distances of a desired magnitude between the deck planks. The body plate (11) of the mounting tool is provided with at least one opening (15), through which the width of the gap between two abutting deck planks (20a, 20b) can be observed during mounting. In addition, the end of the mounting tool comprises a hook-like locking indentation (14), allowing adjacent mounting tools to be locked together to form a continuous long mounting tool.
