Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a fixing device for cladding element on a joists.

  • This type of device has several drawbacks including the attachment of said rider directly on the upper face of a joist or a wooden battens, generating work tearing. This work tearing prematurely damages the fastening device in question due to repeated efforts in compression and / or traction exerted on the rider.
  • Other devices provide for positioning two fasteners on the width of the same joists, when joining two blades. This therefore requires to provide a width of jamb at least twice the width of a fastener. This can also have the disadvantage of having to join two joists to be able to position two fasteners one next to the other.
  • Fastening devices comprising a clip having lateral wings adapted to be engaged in blade grooves and a screw passing through the clip to screw on the upper face of a joists. After installation of the cladding elements, these clips no longer allow access to the screw and make disassembly impossible or requires to resume the entire structure from the last laid blade.

  • the user repeats the previously described steps as many times as necessary to achieve the entire surface to be covered by the cladding elements 100, 200.
  • 100, 200 does not require the withdrawal of the clamping means 10, or that of the fastening device 1. Indeed, it suffices to loosen the clamping means 10 so as to release the covering member 100, 200 concerned.
  • at least two fixing devices 1a, 1b are used on one and the same flank 51 of a joiststrip so as to ensure better maintenance of the cladding element.
  • 100, 200 on the upper face 52 of the joists 50. This improves the maintenance of the covering elements 100, 200 especially when these elements have different lengths.
  • Several fasteners 1a, 1b are thus used to fix the covering elements 100, 200 over their entire length on the upper face 52 of the joists 50.
  • the fixing device 1 advantageously allows to tighten without dimensional limit the covering elements 100, 200, often subject to tangential shrinkage.
  • tangential shrinkage is meant a shrinkage of the covering element 100, 200 in the longitudinal direction.
  • such a narrowing will have no impact and can be easily corrected by means of the clamping means 10 of the fixing device 1 which, with respect to the known fastening devices, is offset from the end of the element. dressing.
  • the fastening device according to the art prior art may no longer be engaged with this trim element.
  • the clamping means 100, 200 advantageously comprises on the underside of the head 12, a relief increasing the friction. This relief is for example formed of grooves and / or stops.
  • two cladding elements 100, 200 supported by a single joister 50 are provided and advantageously only one fastening device 1 is positioned for the maintenance of the two cladding elements 100, 200 disposed of on both sides of the tongue 50.
  • the fixing device 1 can be positioned at the end of the joists 50.
  • the present invention is not limited to the embodiments previously described but extends to any embodiment covered by the claims.
  • the fastening device according to the present invention may also be used to maintain trim elements for vertical wall-type positioning.
  • the pre-assembly of all the elements (body, clamping means, holding means) forming the fixing device facilitates the installation of such a coating.
