A wide variety of sheet metal and wire nail modules for driving and connecting into wood, panels and mineral building materials.

Abstract

Sheet metal and wire nail module for driving into wood, panel and mineral building materials, comprising a base body formed from sheet metal or wire with a drive-in tip and a widened head zone, wherein the base body generates a surface friction and form-fit effect when driven in and the head zone exerts an increased pressing force on the material to be fastened.

Description

1. Purpose of the invention

[0001] The invention serves for the secure, rapid, and material-friendly connection, fixing, and stabilization of wood, panel, and mineral building materials using drive-in modules made of sheet metal or wire. The modules enable increased holding force, improved surface pressure, and versatile application in industrial and craft sectors. 2. Technical problem

[0002] Conventional wire nails, staples and fasteners have several disadvantages when used on thin sheet materials or hard mineral substrates: • low holding force • Point load due to small heads • Tearing or punching through of the material • insufficient surface pressure • limited variety of variants • lack of adaptation to different building materials

[0003] A universal, modular fastening element that works reliably in both wood and mineral building materials is lacking. 3. Technical field

[0004] The invention belongs to the field of mechanical fastening technology, in particular to hammer-in fasteners made of sheet metal and wire for timber construction, furniture industry, interior design, packaging technology and building construction. 4. Object of the invention

[0005] The task is to provide a modular, industrially manufacturable fastening system that: • generates high holding force • a large headrest area • the material is protected • is available in various shapes, thicknesses and geometries • can be used in both wood and mineral building materials • and combines the advantages of nails, staples and sheet metal anchors. 5. Solution to the task

[0006] The task is solved by sheet metal and wire nail modules, consisting of: • a base body formed from sheet metal or wire • a tapered impact edge • a wider head area (single layer or folded) • optional reinforcement structures • Modular variants for different load cases and building materials

[0007] The modules are driven in by hammer blows and, due to their flat geometry, create an increased frictional and positive locking effect. 6. Solution approach of the invention

[0008] The solution combines the following principles: • Clinform for deep penetration • Sheet metal or wire geometry for high surface area effect • Wide head zone for optimal pressing force • Modular variants for different applications • industrial manufacturing by stamping, folding, bending or embossing 7. Components 7.1 Mechanical Module

[0009] Typical components: • Basic shape (triangular, trapezoidal, round or specially shaped) • Impact tip • Head area (single layer, folded or reinforced) • Optional friction structures (teeth, embossing) • optional side ribs or reinforcements 7.2 Electrical Module

[0010] Not present. The invention is purely mechanical. 8. Functionality and advantages • High holding power in wood and mineral building materials • Large headrest prevents bottoming out • Gentle on thin sheets • Stable impact without twisting • Modular forms for various applications • Simple mass production from sheet metal or wire • Lower costs than special nails or dowels • Universally applicable with any hammer 9. Compatibility with standard products • Compatible with all types of wood • Compatible with plywood, MDF, HDF, OSB • Can be used in brick, aerated concrete, plaster, masonry (depending on the variant) • Replaces nails, staples, small brackets and mini anchors • usable with standard tools 10. State of the art and comparison

[0011] Known elements: • Wire nails • Staples • Cut nails • Sheet metal anchors • simple wire pins

[0012] None of these elements are combined: • Sheet metal and wire bodies • wide head areas • modular variants • Impact points • Use in wood AND mineral building materials 11. Comparison to the state of the art / today

[0013] Unlike today's fasteners, the new modules offer: • larger contact surfaces • better power distribution • higher pull-out strength • less material damage • More options for special cases • Universal applications 12. Degree of innovation

[0014] The invention represents a new category of fasteners: Impact-fit sheet metal and wire modules that are neither classic nails nor staples or dowels, but a hybrid, modular solution with independent advantages. 13. Ergonomic and sustainable features • Less waste due to reduced material damage • Reduced force required when driving in • Lower raw material consumption due to thinner sheet metal or wire cross-sections • Fully recyclable • Compatible with manual tools (no energy consumption)
