Description

[0001] SUPPORT DEVICE FOR MOUNTING INSULATING BOARDS ON CEILINGS, FLOORS OR WALLS

[0002] DESCRIPTION

[0003] Technical field of the invention

[0004] The present invention corresponds to the technical field of construction, specifically insulation installations in ceilings, floors or walls.

[0005] Background of the invention

[0006] Currently, acoustic insulation is installed in ceilings, walls, and floors by attaching a cladding to said construction element using structural profiles that are held to the construction element with a series of vibration-absorbing devices.

[0007] These devices feature one or more elastomers or damping elements that require a large number of parts for proper assembly. This makes installation difficult, as well as possible subsequent disassembly.

[0008] Most of these devices feature the elastomer or damping element located on the structural element and a metallic element above the damping element to hold or clamp the structural profile. This creates steel-to-steel contact between the profile and the metallic element, which does not provide adequate insulation.

[0009] Many of these devices also tend to feature a stress-bearing plate located between the structural element and the elastomer, which is also ineffective at isolating vibrations. They also feature a distribution plate above the elastomer, which can shift its position if the stress balance is not correct, adding an additional metallic element to the structural profile. All of these factors make the installation of these support devices difficult and reduce their effectiveness in absorbing vibrations. Therefore, improvements to these types of devices are needed to address these issues.

[0010] Description of the invention

[0011] The support device for mounting insulating panels on ceilings, floors or walls presented here comprises a structural profile for fixing to the ceiling, floor or wall, at least one damping element between them and a pressure distribution plate arranged on one side of the damping element.

[0012] The damping element of this device comprises a simple piece that is combined with another opposing piece, between which first facing slots are established, between which the structural profile to be supported fits.

[0013] In addition, it comprises a sleeve for controlling the pressure exerted on each piece and means for introducing means for fixing the damping element to the ceiling, floor or wall.

[0014] This damping element also has means of hooking the distribution plate into a second slot located in each piece.

[0015] The support device proposed here provides a significant improvement over the state of the art.

[0016] This is because a better fastening of the structural profile to the construction element is achieved with fixing means that have an element screwed into each of the single pieces for greater support.

[0017] There is no plate between the damping element and the structural element, so contact between them is direct and allows for effective damping.

[0018] Since the structural profile is attached to the damping element by fitting into a groove in an intermediate section of the element, the profile is completely embraced by the elastomer and is also compressed by the distribution plate, with no possibility of play or direct contact between metal parts, thus achieving completely effective vibration control.

[0019] Furthermore, this device has the advantage of providing means for controlling the pressure of the distribution plate on the damping element, thereby preventing overstressing of the elastomer.

[0020] Furthermore, this plate is securely attached to the elastomer by means of hooking means that eliminate the possibility of tilting or deviation from its original position.

[0021] This device can have a variety of uses. In addition to installing insulation boards on ceilings, floors, or walls, it can also be very effective in other applications, such as installing service pipes in buildings or installing lighting and sound systems in different types of premises, among others.

[0022] It is therefore a highly effective support device that solves existing problems in the technique while also reducing the number of parts required for installation, thereby reducing installation time and facilitating work in the event of dismantling.

[0023] Brief description of the drawings

[0024] In order to assist in a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred example of practical embodiment thereof, a series of drawings are provided as an integral part of said description, where, for illustrative and non-limiting purposes, the following has been represented:

[0025] Figure 1 shows a perspective view of the damping element of the support device, for a first preferred embodiment of the invention. Figure 2 shows a profile view of the support device, for a first preferred embodiment of the invention.

[0026] Figure 3.- Shows a perspective view of the damping element of the support device, for a second preferred embodiment of the invention.

[0027] Figure 4.- Shows a profile view of the support device, for a first preferred embodiment of the invention.

[0028] Detailed description of a preferred embodiment of the invention

[0029] In view of the figures provided, it can be seen how in a first preferred embodiment of the invention, the support device for mounting insulating panels on ceilings, floors or walls, which is proposed here, comprises a structural profile (1) for fixing to the ceiling, floor or wall, at least one damping element (2) between both and a pressure distribution plate (3) arranged on one face of the damping element (2).

[0030] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, in this device, the damping element (2) or elastomer comprises a simple piece (4) that is combined with another opposing piece between which first facing grooves (5) are established between which the structural profile (1) to be supported fits.

[0031] This damping element (2) also has a bushing (6) to control the pressure exerted on each part (4). This bushing (6) allows an internal limitation to the compression of the elastomer, ensuring optimal working conditions for the same.

[0032] Likewise, this damping element (2) comprises means for introducing means for fixing the damping element (2) to the ceiling, floor or wall. In this first preferred embodiment of the invention, these means are formed by a through hole (7) in the axis of each control bushing (6) capable of allowing the passage of a screwed element. According to another aspect, the damping element (2) of this device has means for hooking the distribution plate (3) in a second slot (8) located in each piece (4). As can be seen in Figures 1 and 2, in this first preferred embodiment of the invention, the hooking means are formed by a lug (9) that emerges from the distribution plate (3), and the second slot (8) is located on the location face of the distribution plate (3) in the piece (4).

[0033] These coupling means allow for effective fastening of the distribution plate (3), preventing it from tilting or moving in the event of an imbalance of forces.

[0034] In this first preferred embodiment of the invention, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, the hooking means also comprise a contour (10) delimiting the placement area of ​​the distribution plate (3) on the location face of said distribution plate (3) in the piece (4).

[0035] In this first preferred embodiment, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, both simple pieces (4) are joined together to form a single-block damping element (2).

[0036] In other embodiments, as is the case of a second mode that can be observed in Figures 3 and 4, both pieces (4) are separated from each other, forming independent bodies.
