    Description

    Field of the invention.



    [0001] The invention relates to a mounting set for securing a frame to a building framework, such as a setting frame, comprising two interacting mounting elements of which one element is to be fixed to the frame and the other element is to be fixed to the framework, and of which a first one of the mounting elements is provided with a mounting surface for mounting to one of the outer peripheral sides of the framework or inner peripheral side of the frame which are facing each other, as well as a lip projecting from the mounting surface, and a second one of the mounting elements is also provided with a mounting surface, as well as a plurality of projections the lip can catch on, which are positioned in a row behind one another and perpendicular to the mounting surface, which second mounting element comprises a strip of which one side forms the mounting surface, as well as a plate attached to the strip and at right angles thereto, an edge of which plate has the projections.

    State of the art.



    [0002] Such a mounting set is known from EP-A-2 078 814. Mounting a frame in a building framework is relatively labour-intensive and requires relatively much time and effort in the present conventional way (screwing tight).

    Summary of the invention.



    [0003] It is an object of the invention to provide a mounting set with which a frame can be secured to a building framework in a simple and fast manner. For this purpose the mounting set according to the invention is characterized in that the distance from the projections of the second mounting element to the strip increasing from one end of the row to the other end of the row. The mounting elements are simple to install on the frame and the building framework after which the frame can be simply clicked into the framework so as to enable quick mounting.

    [0004] An additional advantage of this way of mounting a frame in a building framework is that there are no fixing screws exposed to view after mounting. In addition, after being mounted the frame is automatically centered in the framework. Shrinkage and expansion of the frame and/or the building framework is compensated by the lip that elastically bent catches on one of the projections.

    [0005] This mounting set is pre-eminently suitable for installing plastic frames in temporary buildings, such as holiday cottages and site huts. The mounting element can be simply manufactured from a plate which is bent over afterwards.

    [0006] The second mounting element preferably comprises a further plate which has further projections and which is attached to the strip parallel to and distant from the plate already present.

    [0007] An embodiment of the mounting set according to the invention is characterized in that the first mounting element comprises a further strip of which one side forms the mounting surface and of which one end is bent over and forms the projecting lip, which further strip is bent at right angles at the other end and the perpendicularly bent part is to be secured to a side wall of the building framework. This mounting element too can be simply manufactured from a plate which is bent afterwards. By installing the perpendicularly bent part against the side wall of the building framework, the strip can be simply attached in the correct position.

    [0008] A further embodiment of the mounting set according to the invention is characterized in that the further strip is provided with a U-shaped recess in which a fastening lip is formed which can be secured to the building framework. The rest of the further strip is preferably first bent away from the framework so that, after the frame has been installed, the lip catches on one of the projections under a greater pre-tension.

    [0009] The invention also relates to a combination of a building framework with installed therein a frame, which framework comprises a side wall and an inner peripheral side, and which frame comprises an outer peripheral side that faces the inner peripheral side of the building framework.

    [0010] With respect to the combination, the invention is characterized in that the combination comprises a plurality of mounting sets as claimed in any one of the previous claims while the mounting elements are distributed over the periphery on the inner peripheral side of the frame and the outer peripheral side of the framework.

    [0011] An embodiment of the combination according to the invention is characterized in that the first mounting elements are installed on the outer peripheral side of the framework and the second mounting elements are installed on the inner peripheral side of the frame.

    Brief description of the drawings.



    [0012] Hereinbelow the invention will be further explained with reference to the example of embodiment of the mounting set shown in the appended drawings, in which:

    Fig. 1 shows a detail of a frame and a setting frame which are installed with the aid of the mounting set;

    Fig. 2 shows the first mounting element installed on the setting frame; and

    Fig. 3 shows the second mounting element installed on the frame.


    Detailed description of the drawings



    [0013] Fig. 1 shows a sectional view of a detail of a frame 1 and a setting frame 3. The frame 1 is mounted in the setting frame 3 with the aid of a plurality of mounting sets 5 according to the invention. Each mounting set 5 comprises two interacting mounting elements 7 and 9. The mounting elements are spread over the periphery on the inner peripheral side 11 of the frame and the outer peripheral side 13 of the setting frame.

    [0014] Each mounting element has a strip 15, 17 of which one side forms the mounting surface 19, 21. The first mounting element 7 is fixed to the outer peripheral side 13 of the setting frame 3 and the second mounting element 9 is fixed to the inner peripheral side 11 of the frame 1.

    [0015] The strip 15 of the first mounting element 7 is bent at one end. Fig. 2 shows for clarity the first mounting element 7 attached to the setting frame 3 in a perspective view. The bent-over end of the strip 15 forms a protruding lip 23 which interacts with the second mounting element 9. The other end of the strip 15 is bent over at right angles. This part 25 bent over at right angles is attached to a sidewall 27 of the setting frame 3. The strip 15 is provided with a U-shaped recess 29 in which a fastening lip 31 is formed. This fastening lip is fixed to the setting frame 3 by means of a screw 33.

    [0016] The frame can be simply removed from the setting frame if so desired at a later instant. By moving away the second mounting element 9 in a direction at right angles to the section represented in Fig. 1, for example by means of a pin that is inserted between the frame and the setting frame, the locking is done away with, after which the frame can be moved out of the setting frame.

    [0017] The second mounting element 9 is provided with two parallel and mutually distant rows of projections 35 which rows are positioned behind one another at right angles to the mounting surface 21. For clarity Fig. 3 shows in plan view the second mounting element 9 fixed to the outer peripheral side 13 of the frame 1. The lip 23 of the first mounting element 7 is caught on one of the projections of each row.

    [0018] The projections 35 are formed by providing recesses in edges of plates 37. The plates are integral with the strip 17. The distance 39 from the projections 35 to the strip 17 from one end of the row to the other end of the row is incrementing.

    [0019] When the frame 1 is inserted into the setting frame 3, the frame will be centered by itself by means of the mounting sets 5. As a result, the activities necessary for centering the frame may be omitted during the finishing.

    [0020] Albeit the invention has been described in the foregoing with reference to the drawings, it should be pointed out that the invention is not by any manner or means restricted to the embodiments shown in the drawings. The invention also extends over any embodiments deviating from the embodiments shown in the drawing Figures within the scope defined by the claims.
