Abstract

The invention relates to a bracket for connecting components for a drywall construction, in particular a bracket for a slidable fastening, preferably a slidable ceiling-side fastening, in the framework of a drywall, preferably a bracket for a drywall with a planked, preferably multi-planked, framework. Furthermore, the invention relates to an assembly kit and a drywall with at least one such bracket, as well as the use of such a bracket in dry wall construction.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A bracket for connecting components for a drywall construction, characterised in that the bracket comprises a sole plate, on which a several times folded side wall is fitted orthogonally, which side wall comprises two slots, starting on a side wall end lying opposite the sole plate, for the introduction of a profile, as well as at least one elongated hole for a slidable fastening of the profile, wherein said folded side wall is folded several times around the same direction orthogonal from the sole plate and out of a plane of a material at different positions of the material parallel to one another and also to a boundary of the material.

2. The bracket according to claim 1 , characterised in that the at least one elongated hole lies between the two slots and/or that the at least one elongated hole is provided for receiving at least one fastening means, and/or that the at least one elongated hole lies within one of the flat surfaces of the several times folded side wall, which flat surfaces have arisen as a result of the folding.

3. The bracket according to claim 1 , characterised in that the at least one elongated hole limits the slide path of a profile which has been introduced into the two slots of the bracket, to the length of said at least one elongated hole by means of at least one fastening means, which is anchored through the web of the profile, in said at least one elongated hole.

4. The bracket according to claim 1 , characterised in that the side wall of the bracket is fitted on the sole plate by welding or that the bracket is produced in one piece.

5. The bracket according to claim 1 , characterised in that the several times folded side wall is folded twice, and/or that the several times folded side wall does not project in its width and depth beyond the base of the sole plate.

6. The bracket according to claim 1 , characterised in that the sole plate of the bracket is provided fastened to a profile.

7. The bracket according to claim 6 , characterised in that the framework of the drywall is planked.

8. The bracket according to claim 7 , characterised in that, for the planking, use is made of planking panels, and/or that at least one planking panel is provided with a steel plate in the planking and that the steel plate has a thickness between 0.1 mm and 2 mm.

9. The bracket according to claim 6 , characterised in that the sole plate of the bracket is fastened to the ceiling through the web of a profile, and/or the width of the sole plate is designed such that it completely fills the width of the web between the two flanges of the profile on which it is fastened, and/or that the outermost folded flat surfaces of the side wall are constituted such that they are aligned in parallel with the flanges of a profile, which can be introduced into the slots, and completely fill the width of the web of the introduced profile.

10. The bracket according to claim 1 , characterised in that the bracket comprises two or more elongated holes.

11. The bracket according to claim 1 , characterised in that the sole plate and/or the side wall of the bracket is/are produced from steel, and that the steel for the sole plate and/or the side wall of the bracket has a thickness between 0.4 mm and 6 mm.

12. The bracket according to claim 1 , characterised in that the sole plate is provided with at least two cutouts, provided for fastening means.

13. The bracket according to claim 1 , characterised in that the side wall of the bracket is provided, by means of the two slots and the at least one elongated hole, for a slidable fastening to a profile, in the framework of a drywall.

14. An assembly kit of a drywall with a planked framework, characterised by at least one bracket according to claim 1 .

15. The assembly kit according to claim 14 , characterised in that at least double-planking is provided on the framework, wherein a first and a second planking consist in each case of two parts, wherein each first part is fastened to the profile fastened to the sole plate of the bracket and each second part is fastened to the profile fastened to the side wall of the bracket, wherein the heights of the two parts of the first and second planking are different, such that the passage of air through the double-planking in each position of the slide path is blocked within the slide path of the profile fastened to the side wall of the bracket, said slide path being defined by the at least one elongated hole.

16. The assembly kit according to claim 15 , characterised in that a third planking is provided on the profile fastened to the sole plate of the bracket, which planking has at least the height of the bracket added to the length of the at least one elongated hole and blocks the passage of air from outside to the second planking within the slide path defined by the at least one elongated hole.

17. A drywall, characterised in that it is constructed from an assembly kit according to claim 14 .

18. Use of at least one bracket according to claim 1 in drywall construction.

19. The bracket according to claim 1 , characterised in that the profile is a C-profile.

20. The bracket according to claim 5 , wherein the several times folded side wall is folded four times, and produced semi-octagonal, and/or the several times folded side wall does not project in its width and depth beyond the base of the sole plate, such that three of the flat surfaces arising from the folding terminate flush at three sides of the sole plate with said sole plate and do not come into contact with one another inside the side wall and/or that the slots in each case lie inside a flat surface of the several times folded side wall and/or that the slots and the at least one elongated hole are aligned with their longitudinal sides parallel with one another and orthogonal to the sole plate.

21. The bracket according to claim 8 , wherein, for the planking, use is made of planking panels selected from gypsum boards, gypsum plasterboards or gypsum fibreboards and/or that all the planking panels are provided in each case with a steel plate, and that the steel plate has a thickness of 0.5 mm.
