Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2966238A1] Positioning system (100) for covering elements (3, 4), comprises a spacer element (1) intended to be inserted between at least two adjacent covering elements (3, 4) and comprising a base (5) intended to be made to bear on a fixing adhesive for the covering elements and to receive in support a portion of a rear surface (3b, 4b) of the two adjacent covering elements (3, 4), a threaded shaft (8) extending transversely to the base (5), and a plate (7) interposed between the threaded shaft (8) and the base (5) and intended to be interposed, in use, between facing edges (3c, 4c) of the two covering elements (3, 4), a fixing device (2; 2') comprising a body (12) provided internally with a thread (50) shaped to define a seat (51; 51') for the threaded shaft (8) so as to couple the fixing device (2; 2') and the spacer element (1), and a base (16a, 16; 16'a, 16') intended to be made to bear, in use, on a visible surface (3a, 4a) of the two covering elements (3, 4) to be laid, wherein the thread (50) is defined by at least two separate threaded portions (32, 42; 32', 42') at least one of the threaded portions (32, 42; 32', 42') being movable along a movement axis (Y, Y1) relative to the other in order to vary the extent of the seat (51; 51'), there being provided on the body (11) actuation means (34, 35, 44, 45) for moving the at least one threaded portion (32, 42; 32', 42',) to open/close the seat (51; 51'), in order to couple/uncouple the fixing device (2; 2') and the spacer element (1).
