    FITTING MOUNT FOR MAINTENANCE OF A BUILDING ELEMENT
    Technical area
    The present invention relates to a mounting bracket for retaining a building element. Furthermore, the present invention relates to the use of a mounting bracket according to the present invention for mounting a ceiling box for electric ceiling outlets.
    BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
    Construction is in many respects subject to requirements from authorities as specified in the building regulations, for example. One of these regulated areas concerns that electrical connections must be easily accessible - thus there must be no hidden connections of wires. Therefore, specially approved building elements are used in the form of junction boxes, which ensure that connections of cables can be accessed and encapsulated in a defined area.
    Electricians who handle assembly boxes in ceilings, also called ceiling boxes, are usually on a ladder in connection with the installation of the can. Therefore, operations that are carried out in height and possibly include tools for mounting the can, such as screw operations or fitting tools, are avoided. The use of tools generally introduces an increased risk as the electrician is in inconvenient positions as well as the risk of losing balance.
    In connection with the installation of ceiling cans, it is usually necessary to mount the can on a bracket. This is because in a plaster ceiling, for example, there must be no air between the can and the ceiling. It is not possible to mount the can directly in the plaster alone, and therefore the can is mounted on a bracket attached to the supporting parts of the ceiling, for example laths.
    Therefore, there is a need for a bracket that can receive the ceiling box and at the same time facilitates installation and thereby puts the electrician in the least danger.
    DK 2017 70864 A1
    Brief Description of the Invention
    The present invention relates to a mounting bracket for holding a building element, characterized in that the bracket comprises:
    - at least one attachment member defining an attachment plane, wherein the attachment member has a first end portion and a second end portion and an intermediate region,
    - a bracket body defining a body plane having a first body side and a second body side and a first body end and second body end where the bracket body is mounted at an angle to the attachment member,
    a first projection extending substantially perpendicularly from the first body side of the bracket body and thus perpendicular to the general plane of the bracket body, and
    a second projection extending in a plane at an angle of 100 ° 45 ° to the first projection.
    The mounting bracket of the present invention may comprise a first and a second fastening member. In this way it is possible to distribute the attachment to a substrate in two individual areas.
    Furthermore, the first attachment portion may be connected to the first body end portion of the bracket body, and the second attachment portion may be connected to the second body end portion.
    In addition, the first and second fastening members may be connected to the mounting body via an angular region. In this way it is achieved that the installer, eg an electrician, can adjust the bracket to exactly the height required.
    The first and second fastening members may comprise a second angular region in the intermediate region. In this way, it is achieved that the fasteners can be angled so that the bracket body can be positioned in a plane parallel to the plane where the fasteners are mounted, for example a ceiling. Thus, for example, it is possible to adjust the position of the ceiling box relative to a submerged ceiling.
    In one embodiment, the second projection may be angled such that the angle between the second projection and the first projection is less than 90 °. On this
    DK 2017 70864 A1 way is achieved that the protruding part of a junction box can be squeezed slightly in tension between the second projection and the bracket body.
    The second projection may be adapted to receive a sloping surface on a protruding portion of the junction box.
    In this way, it is possible to mount a building bracket by pushing the building bracket under the second projection and tilting it into engagement with the first projection.
    The second protrusion may be a reinforcing rib in the bracket body. In this way it is achieved that in one production process both increased strength of the fitting body and a projection for mounting the ceiling box can be obtained.
    Furthermore, the second projection may be substantially parallel to the bracket body.
    In one embodiment, at least one of the projections may comprise a locking device. In this way, the junction box can hold onto the mounting bracket.
    In addition, the locking device may be a snap-locking mechanism for another building element, for example, a distribution box / assembly box.
    The bracket according to the present invention may be made of one piece of sheet steel. In this way it is achieved that fabrication can be done by bending, punching and / or embossing alone, and thus joining is not necessary.
    The bracket can be made of steel, plastic, wood or composite material. For alternatives from steel, the mounting bracket can be made by injection molding, molding of wood or the like.
    Furthermore, the attachment member and / or the body of the bracket may comprise reinforcing ribs. In this way, a greater bending moment is obtained and thereby greater stiffness.
    DK 2017 70864 A1
    Also, one or both end portions of the fastening member may comprise holes for securing the bracket to, for example, a lath. In this way, an easy attachment is secured with nails or screws.
    In one embodiment, the longitudinal axis of the fastening member is oriented substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the bracket body.
    In one embodiment, the connection between the first body end and the attachment portion may extend over more than 40% of the edge to which the body end portion and the attachment portion are connected. In this way, a reinforcement of the transition between the fastening member and the bracket body is obtained. Further, deflection of the attachment member at the point where the attachment member extends beyond the first body end is avoided as a result of strain on the fitting body. In this way, the mounting bracket can carry 25 kg or more, for 24 hours or more.
    In one embodiment, the locking mechanism is a snap lock which cooperates with the building element, for example a ceiling box. The locking mechanism may comprise a resiliently angled region which is easily compressed during insertion into a hole in the ceiling box and bounces back to its original angle after being pushed through the hole. Thereby, the resilient angular region is provided as a stop so that it cannot be retracted through the hole.
    The resilient angled area may be formed by tearing, cutting or cutting. In this way, it is achieved that the resilient part can be manufactured directly in connection with the punching process of the mounting bracket. This could be in a companion tool.
    In one embodiment, the angle between the second projection for receiving one protruding portion of the ceiling box is slightly angled relative to the bracket body. In this way, it is achieved that the protruding portion of the canopy easily wedges between the second projection and the bracket body. Thus, the angle between the bracket body and the second projection may be 0-45 ° or 1 ° -30 ° or 2 ° -15 °. In this way, a positioning of the ceiling box is obtained, which confirms the craftsman, eg the electrician, that the correct position has been reached. In one embodiment, the angle between the bracket body and the second projection may be approx. 3 ° - 5 °.
    DK 2017 70864 A1
    In one embodiment, the second projection may comprise a spacer. In this way, it is achieved that the second projection can be displaced from the fitting body. In one embodiment, the second projection may be formed from the bracket body. In one embodiment, both the spacer and the second projection may be made completely or partially out of the fitting body. In this way, the second projection can be produced in a simple manner at the desired distance from the fitting body, for example in a follow-up tool.
    The present invention also relates to the use of a mounting bracket according to the present invention for mounting a ceiling box for electrical ceiling outlets. By using the mounting bracket according to the invention, it is achieved that the installer of ceiling boxes is brought into fewer and less dangerous working positions, thereby reducing the risk of accidents at work.
    In one embodiment, one or both of the ends of the fastener may comprise projections which extend substantially perpendicularly from the general plane of the fastener. are called speed prongs ”. In this way, it is possible to at least temporarily hold the bracket in a given position.

    Detailed description of the invention
    With reference to the accompanying drawings, the present invention will be described in more detail below.
    FIG. 1 shows a mounting bracket 1 mounted on a lath 2. The mounting bracket 1 has a fastening part 3 with a first end part 4 and a second end part 5. The mounting bracket 1 further comprises a bracket body 6 with a first body side 7 and a second body side 8 as well as a first body end 9 and a second body end 10. The bracket body 6 generally defines a body plane KP which is substantially perpendicular to the attachment member 3. The bracket body 6 further comprises a first projection 11 arranged to receive a building element (not shown) and a second projection 12 also arranged for receiving a building element. It will be seen that the first projection 11 extends perpendicularly from the fitting 6, i.e. essentially, the first projection 11 extends perpendicularly from the body plane KP. Further, it is seen that the second projection 12 extends perpendicularly from the attachment member 3. It can be seen from FIG. 1, that the transition between the fastening member 3 and the bracket body 6 comprises ribs 13. The ribs 13 act as reinforcements so that a tighter connection is obtained between the fastening member 3 and the bracket body 6. In this way a greater resistance torque is obtained and angling between the bracket body 6 and the fastening member 3 counteracted. The bracket body further comprises reinforcing ribs 14 along
    DK 2017 70864 A1 longitudinal axis of the bracket body 6. The end portions 4, 5 of the fastening member 3 comprise holes 15 for receiving e.g. the second body end 10. The first body end 9 extends in this embodiment along the entire longitudinal axis of the fastener 3. In this embodiment, the fastener 3 further comprises holes 16 for fastening the mounting bracket 1.
    It will be seen that the mounting bracket 1 is formed of one piece. The material may in this embodiment be plastic or metal.
    The second projection 12 is, in this embodiment, a partially exposed piece of the bracket body and / or the fastening member bent at the desired angle. The second projection 12 may also be formed by an embossment in, for example, the fastening member, similar to a reinforcing rib. In this way, it is achieved that in one production process, both increased strength of the fitting body and a projection for mounting the junction box / ceiling box can be achieved.
    FIG. 2A and 2B show the same situation from a slightly different perspective. The mounting bracket 1 is attached to a mount 2 where a junction box 20, also called a PL can, is being mounted on the mounting bracket 1. The junction box 20 comprises a first protruding portion 21 and a second protruding portion 22. It is seen that the second protruding portion 22 is pushed between the second projection 12 and the first body end portion of the bracket 6 9. The junction box 20 is brought into this position by guiding the junction box 20 in a first mounting direction FR which is substantially parallel to the bracket body 6. This is a mounting that is easy for the installer, as this mounting does not require tools or great precision. After introducing the junction box in the direction of the first mounting direction FR, the junction box 20 is tilted in a second mounting direction AR, whereby the first projection 11 engages the first protruding portion 21 of the junction box 20. In this embodiment, the first projection 11 is arranged to may be received in a mounting hole 23 in the junction box 20. It is especially shown in FIG. 2B, that the first projection 11 comprises a locking device / locking mechanism 24. In this embodiment, the locking mechanism 24 is in the form of a snap lock, which is obtained by the first projection 11 comprising a hinged resilient portion angled with respect to the remaining projection. . In the illustrated embodiment, the first projection 11 is passed through the mounting hole 23 where the resilient portion is lightly compressed, after which the resilient portion at full
    DK 2017 70864 A1 mounting is passed all the way through the mounting hole 23, thereby flipping out and acting as a hook. The clamping function thus causes the first projecting portion 21 of the junction box 20 to be locked together with the first projection 11.
    In connection with the insertion of the second protruding part 22, the stop can be achieved in several ways, for example, both by the second protruding part 22 abutting the fastening part 3 or the second protruding part 22 being caught between the second projection 12 and the fitting body 6. The second projection may have a smaller angle to the bracket body 6, so that insertion of the second projecting portion 22 of the junction box 20 is facilitated.
    FIG. 3A and 3B show the same situation, namely a junction box 20 mounted in a mounting bracket 1, seen in different perspectives. It will be seen that the junction box 20 substantially abuts against or close to the fitting body 6. It is further seen that the hinged resilient portion 24, constituting a locking mechanism, is visible as it is inserted all the way through the mounting hole 23.
    FIG. 4 shows, in an enlarged perspective, how the locking mechanism 24 on the first projection 11 is passed through the mounting hole 23 as shown in FIG. 3A and 3B. Thus, it is shown that the edge 25 of the locking mechanism 24 abuts against the first protruding portion 21 of the junction box 20. In this way, the locking mechanism 24 holds the junction box firmly against the bracket body 6.
    FIG. 5A and 5B show a further embodiment of the locking mechanism 24. In this embodiment, the first projection 11 does not extend through a mounting hole. The first projection 11 extends along the end of the first protruding portion 21. The first projection comprises a locking mechanism 24 angled relative to the body of the first projection 11. In this way, the locking mechanism engages around the first protruding portion 21 of the junction box 20. The second projection 12 is raised from the bracket body 6 via a spacer which thus extends from the bracket body to the second projection. The second projection may also be configured to receive the second protruding portion 22 in a manner similar to the first projection. That is, the second projection 12 can spring and thereby allow the second protruding portion 22 of the junction box 20 to pass so that the second protruding portion lies between the second projection and the bracket body 6. This embodiment can be obtained, for example, by extending the bracket body so that there is more material to form the first and second projections. Likewise, one can
    DK 2017 70864 A1 embodiment, for example, comprises a steel bracket and plastic projections mounted on the steel.
    FIG. 6A and 6B show a further embodiment of the mounting bracket 1; 6A shows the mounting bracket in an unmounted and unfolded version, and fig. 6B shows it in a mounted situation. FIG. 6A shows that, like the previous embodiments, the mounting bracket comprises a first projection 11 and a second projection 12, the first projection further comprising a locking mechanism 24. It is seen that the second projection 12 is displaced relative to the bracket body 6 via a spacer which thus extends from the mounting body to the second projection. In this embodiment, the mounting bracket 1 comprises two fasteners 3 connected to the bracket body 6 via each of their first angular regions 60 to the first end portions of the fasteners 4. Each of the two fasteners 3 further comprises an intermediate region 45. The intermediate region 45 comprises a second angular region 61 which enables easy angling between the first end portion 4 of the fastener 3 and the second end portion 5 of the fastener 3 By means of the first and second angular regions 60, 61 it is obtained so that it is possible to distribute the fastener to a support in two individual areas.
    As seen most easily in FIG. 6B, the height h between the mounting bracket and, for example, a ceiling 65 can be changed by the end portions 5 being pulled away from each other, ie in the direction of the arrow LA. Hereby the position of the ceiling box 20 can be changed. Thus, as the end portions 5 are pulled further apart, the angle alpha between the first end portion 4 and the second end portion 5 becomes larger. This is done by changing the bucks in the two angular areas 60, 61.
    FIG. 7 is a perspective view of the mounting bracket 1 mounted on a lath 2. It is seen how the two end portions 4, 5 are angled relative to each other. This is achieved by adjusting the distance / height h between the ceiling box 20 and the ceiling / ceiling (see Fig. 6B).
    It is thus the bracket body that can be positioned in a plane parallel to the plane where the fastening parts are mounted, for example a ceiling. Thus, for example, it is possible to adjust the position of the ceiling box relative to an existing ceiling to fit with a new submerged ceiling.
    It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the embodiments shown are purely schematic examples. And so it is clear that various other variants
    DK 2017 70864 A1 or alternatives to the above-described embodiments will be obvious to those skilled in the art without departing from the concept of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.
