Corner bracket for mounting standard metal wall brackets for fire extinguishers

Abstract

Corner bracket for receiving commercially available metal wall brackets for fire extinguishers, designed as an elongated plastic bracket block with an approximately triangular cross-section, wherein the bracket block has converging side surfaces for resting against the walls of a room corner or wall projection, and a free surface between the side surfaces for receiving the metal wall bracket, with means for securing the metal wall bracket on the free surface and with means for attaching the arrangement of bracket block and metal wall bracket to the wall.

Description

[0001] The invention relates to corner brackets for receiving commercially available metal wall brackets for fire extinguishers.

[0002] A standard metal wall mount is available, for example, in Fig. 2 shown. It serves as a carrier for a portable fire extinguisher that can be detachably attached to it.

[0003] The object of the invention is to provide a corner bracket for receiving commercially available metal wall brackets, which can be installed in a space-saving manner in room corners or on wall projections. It is intended to be particularly suitable for areas with limited space, for example in stairwells or corridors, and to be used in industrial, commercial, public buildings and technical facilities.

[0004] This problem is solved by a corner bracket designed as a mounting block with the features of claim 1, namely a corner bracket for receiving commercially available metal wall brackets for fire extinguishers, designed as an elongated mounting block made of plastic with an approximately triangular cross-section over its entire length, wherein the mounting block has converging side surfaces for resting against the walls of a room corner or a wall projection, as well as a free surface between the side surfaces for receiving the metal wall bracket, with means for securing the metal wall bracket on the free surface and with means for fastening the arrangement of mounting block and metal wall bracket to the wall.

[0005] Subclaims 2 to 6 relate to advantageous further embodiments of the corner bracket according to claim 1.

[0006] The corner bracket according to the invention is described below in an exemplary embodiment and with reference to the drawing. Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 explained in more detail. Fig. Figure 1 shows the mounting block in views from the front (2nd part in the middle, from the left), the back (part on the far right) and in views from the sides, as well as from above and from below. Fig. Figure 2 shows a standard metal wall mount

[0007] The mounting block has an elongated shape with an approximately triangular cross-section along its entire length. It is made of plastic, primarily using 3D printing. The block has two converging side surfaces that, when mounted, rest against the walls of a room corner. The angle between the side surfaces matches that between the room walls, specifically 90 degrees. To ensure easy fitting into the room corner, the side surfaces on the back of the block do not meet at a sharp edge, but rather with a rounded edge.

[0008] A flat recess is formed on the front of the block, which, when mounted, accommodates a flat mounting surface for the metal wall bracket. The recess is also integrated into the right and left sides. Fig. 1. Grooves running from top to bottom are formed, which are indicated in the figure in the view from below. The distance between the groove bases corresponds approximately to the width of the commercially available metal wall bracket ( Fig. 2) For assembly, it is inserted into the grooves from above, whereby the one in the Fig. The 2 shown side edges of the metal wall bracket engage in the grooves. At the lower end of the grooves, these are closed, thus forming an insertion limit.

[0009] As in Fig.As shown in Figure 1, the mounting block has two central mounting holes. These align with corresponding holes in the metal wall bracket when the bracket is inserted into the grooves. The mounting block and the metal bracket mounted on it are typically secured in the corner of the room with a single screw through the upper pair of holes. For surfaces with low load-bearing capacity, an additional screw is used, passing through the lower pair of holes.

Claims

[1] Corner bracket for receiving commercially available metal wall brackets for fire extinguishers, designed as an elongated plastic bracket block with an approximately triangular cross-section, wherein the bracket block has converging side surfaces for resting against the walls of a room corner or a wall projection, and a free surface between the side surfaces for receiving the metal wall bracket, with means for securing the metal wall bracket on the free surface and with means for fastening the arrangement of bracket block and metal wall bracket to the wall. [2] Corner bracket according to claim 1, wherein the converging side surfaces of the bracket block merge into each other on the wall side with a rounding extending over the length of the bracket block. [3] Corner bracket according to claim 1 or 2, with at least one bore in the bracket block for its wall-side attachment by screwing. [4] Corner bracket according to one or more of the preceding claims, in which a planar recess adapted to the shape of the metal wall bracket is formed on the free surface of the bracket block to secure the position of the metal wall bracket. [5] Corner bracket according to claim 4, in which the planar recess is laterally limited by (in the installed state) vertically extending grooves into which the edge areas of the metal wall bracket can be inserted from top to bottom up to stops in the area of ​​the groove ends. [6] Corner bracket according to one or more of claims 3 to 5, wherein at least one fixing hole in the bracket block is aligned with a hole in the metal wall bracket, so that the same screw connection provides both the wall-side fixing of the bracket block and the further fixing of the metal wall bracket to the bracket block.
