Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional methods for mounting cladding panels require precise drilling and multiple adjustments, are time-consuming, and struggle with uneven support walls, complicating the formation of a uniform cladding wall.
Innovation Solution
A mounting assembly comprising uprights with flanges and adjustable mounting devices that allow panels to be quickly anchored to a wall with minimal drilling, enabling precise and flexible positioning using adjustable anchoring elements and thrust elements to maintain panel stability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional drilling and anchoring methods are used to mount panels on support walls, then reliable panel fixation is achieved, but installation time increases and precision requirements become excessive
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting assembly is divided into separate functional components: uprights that provide structural support, mounting brackets that enable panel attachment, and adjustment screws that allow position modification. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently and facilitates quicker assembly compared to conventional monolithic drilling and anchoring methods.
Solution Approach 2:
The uprights are pre-fixed to the support wall at predetermined positions, and the mounting brackets are pre-attached to the uprights with built-in adjustment mechanisms. This preliminary preparation eliminates the need for precise on-site drilling and panel adjustments, significantly reducing installation time while maintaining reliable fixation.
2Measurement precision
If multiple adjustment operations are performed to achieve correct panel positioning, then precise panel positioning is achieved, but installation complexity and time increase
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting brackets incorporate adjustment screws that enable dynamic modification of panel positions after initial mounting. This dynamic adjustment capability allows installers to achieve precise positioning through simple rotational movements rather than complex multi-step alignment procedures, reducing both complexity and time requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
The adjustment screws act as intermediary elements between the mounting brackets and the panels, providing a controlled mechanism for position modification. This intermediary mechanism translates simple rotational input into precise positional adjustments, eliminating the need for multiple trial-and-error mounting operations.
3Ease of manufacture
If conventional drilling methods are used on uneven support walls, then panel mounting is achieved, but the formation of a uniform cladding wall becomes complicated
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting assembly incorporates adjustable parameters through the adjustment screws, allowing the vertical position of each panel to be modified independently. This parameter adjustment capability compensates for variations in support wall unevenness, enabling the formation of a uniform cladding wall without complex mounting procedures or precise drilling operations.

AI summary
The present invention relates to an assembly (1) for mounting cladding panels (P) and/or suspended furniture on a support structure (W) which comprises at least one pair of uprights (10, 10') extending along an axis vertical in use and which can be constrained to said support structure (W) spaced apart from each other to allow the mounting of at least one panel (P) between them, a plurality of mounting devices (30) which can be constrained to a first surface (P1) of said panel (P) facing, in use, towards said support structure (W), each comprising an anchoring element (32), and a plurality of support elements (20), which can be fixed on said uprights (10, 10') and adapted to cooperate at least with said mounting devices (30) to mount said panel (P) on said uprights (10, 10'). In particular, each of said uprights (10, 10') comprise a fixing portion (11) lying on a first plane and adapted to be fixed to said support structure (W) through first fixing means (111), and at least one support flange (12), protruding laterally from said fixing portion (11) and lying on a second plane parallel to said first plane, to define a first undercut (14) forming in use, a first gap (G1) with the support structure (W), each of said support elements (20) comprising a body portion (21) adapted to be received in said first gap (G1) and constrained to said flange (12) through second fixing means (112) extending along axes essentially orthogonal to said support structure (W), and a support portion (22) protruding laterally from said body portion (21) and defining at least one first engagement seat (23, 23') adapted to be engaged by an anchoring element (32) of a corresponding mounting device (30) and comprising at least a first support surface (23A, 23A') lying, in use, on a plane essentially orthogonal to said support structure (W).
