Abstract (en)

[origin: WO02077465A1] The invention relates to a fixing means which is designed to connect elements of any type and, in particular, for wooden constructions. According to the invention, the internal, one-piece fixing means comprises a metal component (2) which is positioned between at least two elements to be assembled (1), said elements being made from any material. The metal component (2) is inserted in a fixed, unchanging and definitive manner using suitably-designed quick-penetration nails (3). The nails are carefully distributed in terms of quantity and positioning on either side of the elements to be assembled (1) according to the resistance to be obtained. The nails maintain the elements under pressure, said nails being instantaneously soldered to the metal component (2). In this way, elements 1, 2 and 3 are fixed together definitively and rigidly and they cannot be disassembled, thereby preventing any movement and making the assembly resistant to bad weather, environmental loads and variations and seismic constraints without requiring the use of any other additional fixing means. The inventive fixing means is designed to connect elements (1) of any type which can be made from any type of material, and, in particular, to produce wooden constructions.
