Description

Technical Field



[0001] The present disclosure relates to an apparatus for fixing finishing stone for construction. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to an apparatus for fixing finishing stone for construction, the apparatus being capable of fixing a finishing stone used in a building and being capable of minimizing an earthquake impact.

Background Art



[0002] In order to complete construction of a structure of a building and to make an external appearance of the building luxurious, there are cases in which finishing stones are mounted on a wall surface of the building. First, an angle is mounted on a wall body, an adjusting plate configured to adjust a distance from the wall body to the finishing stone is mounted on an end portion of the angle so as to adjust the distance horizontally, and a pin connected to the finishing stone in a vertical direction is provided on an end portion of the adjusting plate so as to finish mounting of the finishing stone.

[0003] At this time, while the pin is inserted into the adjusting plate, the pin is directly connected to the finishing stone. However, when an earthquake occurs and vibrations are generated in front, rear, left, and right directions around the adjusting plate, the vibrations are directly transmitted to the finishing stone, so that there has been a problem that the finishing stone is broken or is separated from the pin.

[0004] The finishing stone is mounted and stacked by a fixing apparatus as high as the height of the building, and as vibrations increase toward an upper level of the building, there is a problem that even small vibrations cause significant vibrations in the upper finishing stones.

Mode for Invention



[0013] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It is to be noted that the following description and the appended drawings are proposed to further understanding the present disclosure and the scope of the present disclosure is not limited thereto. In addition, when conventional configurations and functions may make the gist of the present disclosure unclear, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0014] FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view illustrating an apparatus for fixing finishing stone for construction according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, FIG. 2 is a perspective view illustrating coupling between the apparatuses for fixing finishing stone for construction and finishing stones according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a state in which the apparatus for fixing finishing stone for construction is coupled to finishing stones, and FIG. 4 is an enlarged view illustrating a state in which a fastening pin is coupled to finishing stones.

[0015] Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 4, an apparatus for fixing finishing stone for construction according to the present disclosure mainly includes an angle 100, an adjusting plate 200, and a fastening pin 300, and the present disclosure has main features in the adjusting plate 200 and the fastening pin 300.

[0016] First, the angle 100 is configured to be fixed to a wall body and to connect a finishing stone S1,S2 to the wall body.

[0017] The angle 100 is formed of a vertical portion 120 and a horizontal portion 140, the vertical portion 120 has a long hole therein so that the vertical portion 120 is capable of being fixed to the wall body via a bolt, and the horizontal portion 140 also has a long hole therein.

[0018] In addition, the adjusting plate 200 may be configured to adjust a horizontal position thereof on the angle 100 and may be connected to a finishing stone S1,S2. The adjusting plate 200 is formed of an angle connection portion 220, a first connecting portion 240, and a second connecting portion 260. The angle connection portion 220 is coupled to the angle 100 via a bolt from an upper surface of the horizontal portion 140 along the horizontal portion 140, and a position of the angle connection portion 220 is capable of being adjusted. The reason for adjusting the position is that the first connecting portion 240 and the second connecting portion 260 are positioned directly below or directly above a finishing stone S1,S2.

[0019] Here, the first connecting portion 240 extends to one side of the angle connection portion 220 and has a first pin hole 242 therein, and the second connecting portion 260 extends to the other side of the angle connection portion 220 and has a second pin hole 262 therein.

[0020] The fastening pin 300 is a fastening member for being connected to a finishing stone S1,S2 from the adjusting plate 200.

[0021] The fastening pin 300 is provided as a pair of fastening pins 300 respectively provided in A pair of the fastening pins 300 is provided in the first pin hole 242 and the second pin hole 262 in the adjusting plate 200. Here, each of the pair of fastening pins 300 is a pin having a head and is configured to be inserted into and secured in each of the pin holes.

[0022] Meanwhile, in the present disclosure, the fastening pin 300 is formed in a countersunk head shape, and is configured such that each fastening pin 300 is inserted into the first pin hole 242 and the second pin hole 262 and does not protrude. Furthermore, the first pin hole 242 positioned in a direction to be properly matched and coupled to the countersunk head shape of the fastening pin 300 has a lower side tapered, and the second pin hole 262 has an upper side tapered.

[0023] That is, in the present disclosure, as the first connecting portion 240 and the second connecting portion 260 are formed at a first side of an end portion of the adjusting plate 200, a finishing stone s1 at an upper side of the adjusting plate 200 and a finishing stone s2 at a lower side of the adjusting plate 200 are coupled to one adjusting plate 200 by each of the fastening plates 300.

[0024] In addition, the fastening pin 300 has a clamp 340 which is formed of a horizontal plate 342 that extends laterally from a portion of a head 320 of the fastening pin 300 and which is formed of a vertical plate 344 that is bent from an end portion of the horizontal plate 342 and configured to elastically press a rear surface of a finishing stone s1, s2 , so that the fastening pin 300 is capable of being easily fixed to the finishing stone s1,s2 .

[0025] Each mounting groove 280 configured to accommodate the horizontal plate 342 according to a direction to which the fastening pin 300 is coupled is formed in each surface of the first connecting portion 240 and the second connecting portion of the adjusting plate 200. The mounting groove 280 is formed such that a width of the mounting groove 280 is larger than a width of the horizontal plate 342 so that a movement clearance is secured, and is prevented from protruding to the outside of a finishing stone s1,s2 so that a close contact between the finishing stone s1,s2 and the adjusting plate 200 is secured.

[0026] Hereinafter, the installation of apparatus for fixing finishing stone s1,s2 for construction according to the present disclosure will be briefly described.

[0027] First, the angle 100 is mounted on the wall body, and an installation length of the adjusting plate 200 is adjusted and the adjusting plate 200 is mounted on the angle 100. In addition, in a state in which the fastening pin 300 is inserted into a groove formed vertically in a finishing stone s1,s2 and the finishing stone s1,s2 is fixed by pressing the rear surface of the finishing stone s1,s2 with the clamp 340, each head 320 of each of the fastening pins 300 is positioned inside the first pin hole 242 and the second pin hole 262 of the adjusting plate 200. At this time, each of the fastening pins 300 is positioned in the center of the first pin hole 242 and the center of the second pin hole 262 so that gaps in the front, the rear, the left, and the right directions are secured. Therefore, when an earthquake occurs, vibrations generated from the fixing apparatus are not directly transmitted to the finishing stone since the movement clearance is secured, so that vibration transmission is capable of being minimized.

[0028] It should be understood that the basic technical concept of the present disclosure as set forth above is to provide the apparatus for fixing finishing stone for construction, and it is apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications are possible within the basic concept of the present disclosure.
