AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a system and method for easily mounting wall panels over an existing wall. This system allows for easy adjustment of the position of the wall panels in three dimensions and captures and restrains the ends of the wall panels. Additionally, the system allows for thermal expansion of the wall panels.

Problems solved by technology

However, the securement of wall panels to the wall structure is generally a long and tedious job since it entails using fastening devices such as nails and / or screws to secure the walls panels directly to the wall structure.
This is time consuming and tedious.
Further, if a mistake is made as to the positioning of one wall panel, this will affect the positioning of the remaining wall panels, and may result in removing the misaligned wall panels and re-securing these wall panels correctly in position.

Embodiment Construction

[0205]Referring to the drawings in detail, and initially to FIG. 1 thereof, there is shown a portion of a system 10 for easily mounting wall panels over an existing wall. System 10 includes a base assembly including an elongated base support 12 that is adapted to be secured to an existing wall (not shown). Base support 12 includes an elongated base plate 14 having measuring gradations 15 along the upper surface thereof and openings 16 therealong through which screws (not shown) are adapted to extend to secure base plate 14 to the existing wall. L-shaped retaining walls 18 and 20 extend outwardly from opposite side edges of base plate 14. Specifically, each L-shaped retaining wall 18, 20 includes a first wall 18a, 20a that extends at a right angle from a side edge of base plate 14 and an inwardly extending second wall 18b, 20b that extends toward the opposite side edge of base plate 14 in parallel spaced apart relation to base plate 14 with a space 22 therebetween. Preferably, inward...

Abstract

In one of the embodiments of the disclosed system, the sliding support member may be comprised of the U-shaped plate that is separate from a forward extending support member, which further contains parallel capture walls. The U-shaped plate and the forward extending support member are then joined together using a dovetail joint, or another type of lock-and-key joint. The groove for such a joint is oriented at an angle, preferably a right angle to the direction of the slide of the sliding support member along the length of the base member. This embodiment of the sliding support member permits a mounting of the adjustable support member at an angle, preferably a right angle to the direction of travel of the sliding support member.
