Description

Field of invention

[0001] The present invention relates to a multifunctional fastening element. The fastening element is used in particular for the damage-free or minimally damage-free fastening of a bracket, for example, a clamp. The fastening element can be used both indoors and outdoors and can be attached and removed without damage and / or without significant visible damage. The present invention further relates to the use of the fastening element. background

[0002] For fastening brackets, for example for guiding cables, pipes and / or hoses on downpipes, facades or other building elements, clamping clamps are known from the prior art, which are often screwed, dowelled or nailed directly onto a load-bearing substrate.

[0003] However, this type of fastening is often dependent on the material, exposed to the weather, and frequently results in an aesthetically unappealing and unstable solution. Furthermore, the surface to which the bracket is attached is often severely damaged and / or soiled. These damaged areas require extensive repair or cleaning after the bracket is removed and the work is completed. In addition, modern and newly constructed buildings often incorporate an external thermal insulation composite system (ETICS), which serves as an essential component of the building's energy-efficient envelope and should ideally be preserved without damage.

[0004] There is therefore a need to overcome the disadvantages of the current state of the art and provide a weatherproof, versatile, and easy-to-install mounting element that allows for a clean and durable mounting solution, particularly when retrofitting photovoltaic systems or communication equipment. The same applies to subsequently installed cable trays in the exterior and interior of building structures, the location and condition of which require special attention during construction work. No extensive preparatory work or specific mounting hardware is required for installing the mounting element. Furthermore, depending on the substrate, the installed mounting elements can be removed without leaving any residue. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0024] The mounting plate has a flat base. In one embodiment, the mounting plate has a curved shape, for example to ensure better attachment to curved surfaces, such as pipes.

[0025] The at least two recesses in the carrier plate, in conjunction with a fastener, serve to attach the fastening element to an object or a substrate. The at least two recesses are sufficiently far apart to ensure a stable fastening of the fastening element. "Sufficiently far apart" in the context of the present invention means that, depending on the chosen fastener, a sufficient fastening strength is achieved. In one embodiment, the at least two recesses are located at the same height but on opposite sides of the carrier plate. The carrier plate can have two or more recesses, for example, three or four. The more than two recesses can be located at the same height or evenly distributed across the carrier plate.In one embodiment, the support plate comprises four recesses, with one recess located in each corner of the support plate.

[0026] Depending on the required fastening, the at least two recesses can be round, oval, elliptical or rectangular, but are not limited to these shapes. The at least two recesses are located at least 1 mm, 2 mm, 3 mm, 4 mm, 5 mm, 6 mm, 7 mm, 8 mm, 9 mm, 10 mm from the side edge of the carrier plate and have a height-to-width ratio of at least 8 mm to 1 mm, 8 mm to 2 mm, 8 mm to 3 mm, 8 mm to 4 mm, 8 mm to 5 mm, 8 mm to 6 mm, 8 mm to 7 mm, 8 mm to 8 mm, 7 mm to 1 mm, 7 mm to 2 mm, 7 mm to 3 mm, 7 mm to 4 mm, 7 mm to 5 mm, 7 mm to 6 mm, 7 mm to 7 mm, 6 mm to 1 mm, 6 mm to 2 mm, 6 mm to 3 mm, 6 mm to 4 mm, 6 mm to 5 mm, 6 mm to 6 mm, 5 mm to 1 mm, 5 mm to 5 mm mm to 2 mm, 5 mm to 3 mm, 5 mm to 4 mm, 5 mm to 5 mm, 4 mm to 1 mm, 4 mm to 2 mm, 4 mm to 3 mm, 4 mm to 4 mm, 3 mm to 1 mm, 3 mm to 2 mm, 3 mm to 3 mm, 2 mm to 1 mm, 2 mm to 2 mm, or 1 mm to 1 mm, the dimensions not being limited to these dimensions.In a preferred embodiment, the at least two recesses are located between 1 and 5 mm, more preferably between 1 and 4 mm, from the side edge. Depending on their shape, use, and the substrate, the at least two recesses can be of any size. In one embodiment, the at least two recesses are rectangular, with the center of each recess at least 4.95 mm from the side edge and inner edge lengths of 8.10 mm and 4.50 mm, respectively. In another embodiment, the at least two recesses are oval. The at least two recesses can have the same or different shapes. In a preferred embodiment, the at least two recesses have the same shape.

[0027] The at least one support element encompassed by the fastening element projects out of the plane of the support plate and allows for reversible attachment of a bracket. In one embodiment, the support plate and the support element are manufactured as a single piece, with the support element bent out of the plane of the support plate. In another embodiment, the support plate and the support element are manufactured as a single piece, with the support element projecting out of the plane of the support plate, and the fastening element being cast into such a shape.

In a preferred embodiment, the carrier plate and the support element are manufactured from a single piece, with the support element bent out of the plane of the carrier plate.

[0028] In one embodiment, the support plate and the at least one support element are made of different materials. For example, the support plate can be made of a metal or a metal alloy, while the at least one support element is made of a plastic. In another embodiment, the support plate and the at least one support element are made of different plastics. In a preferred embodiment, the support plate and the support element are made of the same metal or the same metal alloy.

[0029] In one embodiment, the angle between the plane of the support plate and the at least one support element is between 40° and 90°, 50° and 90°, 60° and 90°, 70° and 90°, and 80° and 90° with respect to the support plate. In a preferred embodiment, the angle between the plane of the support plate and the support element is approximately 90° and is therefore perpendicular. In a still preferred embodiment, the angle between the plane of the support plate and the support element is 90°. Depending on the substrate or the object to which the fastening element is attached, the at least one support element can also be located at an angle of less than 90°, preferably less than 80°, with respect to the support plate.

[0030] The at least one support element projects out of the plane of the support plate to reversibly attach the at least one bracket. To ensure stability, the support element projects at least 1 cm, 2 cm, 3 cm, 4 cm, 5 cm, 7.5 cm, or 10 cm above the support plate. In one embodiment, the support element projects between 1 and 2 cm, between 1 and 3 cm, or between 1 and 4 cm beyond the support plate. In a preferred embodiment of the fastening element, the support element projects 1 to 2 cm out of the plane of the support plate, for example, approximately 1.2 cm.

[0031] The support element has a shape suitable for securely and reversibly holding a bracket. The shape of the support element can be rectangular, elliptical, T-shaped, trapezoidal, or stadium-shaped, but is not limited to these. In this case, "stadium-shaped" refers to a rectangle whose ends are rounded by two semicircles. The stadium is further connected to the support plate via a rectangle, the length of the stadium from semicircle to semicircle being longer than the corresponding side length of the rectangle connecting the stadium to the support plate.In one embodiment, the end of the support element is stadium-shaped, wherein the overall length is 1.3 cm, 1.2 cm, preferably 1.22 cm, the width of the stadium is 1.3 cm, 1.2 cm, preferably 1.22 cm, and the height of the stadium is 0.5 cm, 0.42 cm, preferably 0.48 cm, and the height of the lower part of the support element from the lower edge of the stadium to the support plate is 0.8 cm, preferably 0.74 cm high and 0.6 cm, preferably 0.53 cm wide. In one embodiment, the end of the support element is T-shaped, wherein the overall length is 1.3 m, preferably 1.22 m, the width of the stadium is 1.3 cm, preferably 1.22 cm, and the height of the stadium is 0.5 cm, 0.42 cm, preferably 0.48 cm, and the height of the lower part of the support element from the lower edge of the stadium to the support plate is 0.8 cm, preferably 0.74 cm high and 0.6 cm, preferably 0.53 cm wide.The at least one support element and the at least one bracket can also be connected via a bayonet fitting, a screw connection, a dovetail connection, but is not limited to this.

[0032] In a preferred embodiment, the support plate has only one support element.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment, the fastening element according to the invention has the form of a rectangular support plate with two rectangular recesses located in the corners of one side of the support plate. The support element projects perpendicularly from the plane of the support plate and has a T- or stadium shape at its end pointing away from the support plate.

[0034] The at least one support element serves for the reversible attachment of at least one bracket. The at least one bracket can be a clamp, hose clamp, pipe clamp, or cable clamp, but is not limited to these. In a preferred embodiment, the at least one bracket is a clamp, for example, a Franconian clamp or similar. Clamps are mechanical fastening elements that can be used to securely fix cylindrical objects such as pipes, hoses, or cables. Non-cylindrical objects can also be fixed with a clamp. A clamp can consist of at least two arms, which in one embodiment extend into space in an elliptical or circular shape. In another embodiment, a clamp can consist of at least two arms that define a rectangular space and can thus grip and fix rectangular objects.Within the at least two arms, the cables, pipes, hoses, or similar components are arranged to minimize or eliminate any play against the building or building structure. Loose cables, pipes, hoses, or similar components can be damaged by wind, potentially harming the surroundings or contributing to the failure of the connected system. The at least one bracket can vary in size and be made of plastic or metal, but this is not limited to either material. In one embodiment, the at least two arms of the clamp have a length of at least 3 cm, 4 cm, 5 cm, 6 cm, 7 cm, 8 cm, 9 cm, 10 cm, 15 cm, 20 cm, or at least 50 cm. In another embodiment, the support element has protruding ribs on both sides, while the bracket has corresponding grooves or recesses.When the bracket is slid over the support element, the support element's ribs snap into corresponding recesses in the bracket, ensuring a secure connection. The clamp can then be hooked, clipped, or attached to the support element with a carabiner. The connection is reversible, allowing the fastener to be reused.

[0035] Objects that can be attached using the present invention include, but are not limited to, pipes, cables, hoses, posts, nets, barriers, fences, advertising banners, lighting and / or fabric panels.

[0036] A further advantage of the present invention is therefore that, due to the simple attachment and removal, brackets can be used flexibly, i.e., the person skilled in the art can easily react to the respective structural conditions and select the appropriate bracket, since each bracket can be easily attached with the fastening element according to the invention.

[0037] The fastening element is attached to a substrate or object using a suitable fastener. Suitable fasteners are those that allow for damage-free or at least minimally damaging fastening. Examples of fasteners include, but are not limited to, strips, metal pins, adhesives, and screws. In one embodiment, various fasteners are used, for example, one or more strips and, in addition, an adhesive on the underside of the carrier plate.

[0038] The fastening element can be attached to a variety of surfaces or objects. In one embodiment, the fastening element is attached to a round object, such as a pipe, post, lamppost, mast, pole, antenna, chimney, and much more. In a preferred embodiment, the fastening element is fixed to a pipe, for example, a downpipe. A strap is guided from the rear or front through the at least two, preferably exactly two, recesses in the mounting plate and then wrapped around the pipe. The strap is then tightened around the pipe so that the fastening element can no longer move relative to the pipe, even if a (rotational) force is exerted by the mounting. The strap can be a metal strap or a cable tie made of metal or plastic, but is not limited to these materials. In one embodiment, the strap is a metal strap.The metal band can be tightened to the pipe, for example a downpipe, to the required strength using crimping pliers, clamping pliers, or locking pliers, but this is not the only possible application. In another embodiment, the band is a plastic cable tie that is guided through at least two, preferably exactly two, recesses and around the pipe, and can be tightened by hand. In one embodiment, the substrate or object is located outdoors. In other embodiments, the fastening element is used indoors within a building structure.

[0039] In another embodiment, the fastening element is attached to the substrate of a building structure. In principle, the fastening element can be attached to any substrate. The substrate of the building structure to which the fastening element is attached can be, for example, plaster, brick, wood, plastic, masonry, or concrete. The fastening element can be attached, for example, with pins, in a way that minimizes damage. To enable attachment with minimal or no damage, the pins have a length of 10 to 50 mm, preferably 15 to 40 mm, for example, 17 mm, 19 mm, 22 mm, 25 mm, 26 mm, 27 mm, 28 mm, 29 mm, 30 mm, 32 mm, or 38 mm. To attach the fastening element to a substrate with pins, the pins can be driven in using a bolt cutter. Alternatively, a hammer could also be used.

[0040] Should the fastening element according to the invention no longer be required, the connection between the fastening element and the substrate or pipe can be released without damage. The removed fastening element can be reused for other fastening applications.

[0041] The fastening element according to the invention can be used for a variety of applications. For example, it is suitable for holding and securing cables and wires of a photovoltaic system or a communication system. After a photovoltaic system is installed on a roof, the associated cables and wires must transport the current from the solar modules to the inverter. The inverter is usually not located on the roof, but is protected inside a room of the building. The cables and wires that carry the current from the solar modules to the inverter must therefore usually be routed along the exterior of the building until they enter the building and connect to the inverter.Since cables and wires can negatively impact the building's architecture or, if left hanging loose, be damaged, it is advisable to route them along the building structure or a downpipe. If the cables and wires run along a downpipe, several mounting elements can be attached at suitable intervals so that they are not visible. In another embodiment, the cables and wires of a mobile phone antenna can be attached to the base of a building structure or to a downpipe by one or more mounting elements. The mounting elements according to the invention have the advantage of being weather- and corrosion-resistant and can be removed and reused without damaging the base or the downpipe (or any other pipe). Depending on the number of cables and wires to be routed, brackets of various sizes can be used.If fastening elements need to be attached to a substrate of a building structure, then the installation can be carried out quickly and without drilling, which allows for a low-damage fastening to the substrate.

[0042] The fastening element can be used in various applications. In one embodiment, the fastening element is used in temporary construction site installations. Hoses, cables, and cable bundles can be attached to surfaces. Furthermore, protective devices, such as safety nets, can be attached to scaffolding, containers, or construction fences.

[0043] In another embodiment, the fastening element is used in event and stage technology. It can be used to guide and secure cables, lighting trusses, or speaker wires to a stage structure. Because the fastening element can be removed without leaving any residue, it facilitates the rapid dismantling of the stage.

[0044] In one embodiment, the fastening element is used in logistics, where it can be attached, for example, to shelves or wire mesh containers to guide bundles of pipes or cables. The ability to remove the fastening element without leaving any residue and to flexibly adjust it is advantageous during any warehouse modifications.

[0045] In one embodiment, the fastening element is used in agriculture, where water pipes, drip hoses, or nets are routed in barns, greenhouses, or fields. In this application, the weather and corrosion resistance of the fastening elements is advantageous.

[0046] In another embodiment, the fastening element is used in vehicle or trailer assembly. In this application, the fastening element can be used for temporary cable routing and / or pipe fastening on commercial vehicles, trailers, and construction equipment. Its residue-free removal and corrosion resistance make the fastening element advantageous in this area.

[0047] In another embodiment, the fastening element can be used in tunnel or shaft construction. The fastening element can be quickly and easily attached to the substrate or existing structures in a tunnel or shaft, thus minimizing surface damage, and can guide cables or pipes within the tunnel or shaft.

[0048] Furthermore, the fastening element can be used in rescue or disaster relief operations for the rapid attachment of hoses, ropes, cables, or equipment. It can also be used in outdoor and leisure activities, allowing the cords and ropes of tents, awnings, and mobile structures to be quickly and easily guided and secured without leaving residue on masts, poles, or scaffolding.

[0049] In a further aspect, the present invention is therefore directed to the use of a fastening element according to the invention for fastening objects, for example cables, pipes or hoses, or any other object disclosed herein. The features disclosed above for the fastening element also apply accordingly to its use.

[0050] In the present invention, different embodiments can be combined with one another unless otherwise stated. That is to say, for example, the different embodiments relating to the support plate, the recesses, and the support element can be combined with one another.
