(54) Alignment bracket for fixtures


(57) Alignment bracket for fixtures, of the type intended to align a first profile I and a second profile II of a frame for fixtures in a joining zone, each of which is provided with at least one longitudinal groove S delimited by two opposite parallel edges B1, B2.
The alignment bracket 1 comprises: a joining angle-piece 2 having two arms 3a and 3b able to be inserted inside the groove S of the first profile I and the second profile II, respectively, so as to join together the two profiles I, II; and fixing means 4 provided on each arm 3a, 3b and comprising a shaped body 6. The latter is able to move between a releasing position, where said shaped body 6 does not interfere with the groove S so as to leave said arm 3a,3b free to slide inside it, and at least one locking position, where it pushes against a longitudinal edge B2 of the corresponding groove S of one of the two profiles I, II so as to cause the movement of the latter towards the joining zone.
The bracket 1 is characterized in that each arm 3a, 3b is provided with at least one first guide seat 25 for the shaped body 6 and in that the fixing means 4 comprise a pivot 5 which is rotatably inserted inside a through-hole 20 formed in the arm 3a, 3b. The pivot 5 has at a first end 5' a first circular lug 51 eccentric with respect to its axis of rotation Y and projecting from the through-hole 20.
The bracket 1 is also characterized in that the shaped body 6 is engaged with the first circular lug 51 of the pivot 5 and is housed inside the first guide seat 25 so as to move following the rotation of the pivot 5 with a rotary/translatory movement between the releasing position and the locking position.
