Abstract

The invention relates to a dry-built ceiling/wall, having a framework ( 1 ) and one or more construction panels ( 2 ) fixed to an associated upright profile ( 4 ), wherein the construction panels ( 2 ) are fixed to the respective upright profile ( 4 ) with the interposition of fastening elements ( 5 ) and to this end the fastening element ( 5 ) is equipped for example with lug ends ( 6 ) that grasp profile limbs ( 4 a ) of the upright profile ( 4 ). In addition to the at least two lug ends ( 6 ) for final fixing, the fastening element ( 5 ) is also equipped with one or more hooks ( 7 ) for pre-fixing the fastening element ( 5 ) to the respective profile limb ( 4 a ) of the upright profile ( 4 ).

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A dry-built ceiling or wall, having a framework ( 1 ), and one or more construction panels ( 2 ) fixed to an associated upright profile ( 4 ), wherein the construction panels ( 2 ) are fixed to a respective said upright profile ( 4 ) and interposed with fastening elements ( 5 ) and on one end the fastening element ( 5 ) is equipped with lug ends ( 6 ) which engage around a respective profile leg ( 4 a ) of the upright profile ( 4 ), wherein the fastening element ( 5 ) is equipped, in addition to with at least two lug ends ( 6 ) with one or more hooks ( 7 ) for pre-fixing the fastening element ( 5 ) to the respective profile leg ( 4 a ) of the upright profile ( 4 ), wherein the fastening element ( 5 ) is constituted U-shaped with two fastening legs ( 5 a ) and a fastening base ( 5 b ) and wherein the respective fastening leg ( 5 a ) is equipped with at least one said lug end ( 6 ) and a respective said hook ( 7 ), a material weakening zone ( 8 ) is positioned between the at least one lug end ( 6 ) and the respective fastening leg ( 5 a ), and the fastening base ( 5 b ) of the fastening element ( 5 ) is equipped with connecting means ( 9 ) for fixing the construction panels ( 2 ).

2. The dry-built ceiling or wall according to claim 1 , characterised in that the lug ends ( 6 ) permit, during the pre-fixing, a relative movement of the fastening element ( 5 ) with respect to the upright profile ( 4 ), said relative movement being guided by the hook ( 7 ).

3. The dry-built ceiling or wall according to claim 1 , characterised in that the lug ends ( 6 ) for final fixing of the fastening element ( 5 ) are placed around the profile leg ( 4 a ) of the upright profile ( 4 ), fixed to the profile leg ( 4 a ), or anchored to a base ( 3 ).

4. The dry-built ceiling or wall according to claim 1 , characterised in that two hooks ( 7 ) are provided on both sides of the lug end ( 6 ) located in between.

5. The dry-built ceiling orwall according to claim 1 , characterised in that the hook ( 7 ) and the lug end ( 6 ) are connected with approximately identical spacing from the fastening base ( 5 b ) in each case at the top end to the associated fastening leg ( 5 a ).

6. The dry-built ceiling or wall according to claim 1 , characterised in that the material weakening zone ( 8 ) is constituted as a perforation ( 8 ).

7. The dry-built ceiling or wall according to claim 1 , characterised in that the lug end ( 6 ), the hook ( 7 ) and the fastening leg ( 5 a ) as well as the fastening base ( 5 b ) are produced in a uniform material from a metal.

8. The dry-built ceiling or wall according to claim 1 , characterised in that the fastening element ( 5 ) is constituted mirror-symmetrical in relation to a central plane of symmetry (S).

9. The dry-built ceiling or wall according to claim 1 , characterised in that the fastening element ( 5 ) has a coating as a corrosion protection.

10. The dry-built ceiling or wall according to claim 1 , characterised in that the framework ( 1 ) is constructed from vertically or horizontally running C-profile rails ( 4 ) as an upright profile ( 4 ) in each case.

11. The dry-built ceiling or wall according to claim 10 , characterised in that the fastening element ( 5 ) in the fitted state on the C-profile rail ( 4 ) lies with the fastening legs ( 5 a ) in each case adjacent to C-legs ( 4 a ), whilst the fastening base ( 5 b ) and a C-base ( 4 b ) are also disposed in contact with one another or spaced apart from one another.
