Термоизолирующий кронштейн для крепления профилей навесных фасадов

Номер: RU0000174986U1

Полезная модель относится к области строительства, к облицовкам наружных стен, состоящих из нескольких однотипных элементов. Технической проблемой, решение которой обеспечивается при использовании предлагаемой конструкции, является снижение теплопроводности кронштейна, обеспечивающей максимальные теплоизоляционные свойства навесного фасада. Для этого в кронштейне для крепления профилей навесных фасадов, состоящем из двух металлических частей - неподвижной с полкой для крепления на стене и подвижной с полкой для крепления профиля навесного фасада, в отличие от прототипа, скрепление неподвижной и подвижной частей между собой выполнено с помощью пластинчатой вставки, закрепленной на их встречных полках. Вставка выполнена из конструкционного материала, обладающего низкой теплопроводностью и обеспечивающего нормативную огнестойкость.

An attachment strip for attaching lath to a wall and a system for attaching lath to a wall with increased water resistive characteristics. The attachment strip has protruding teeth on an attachment plate that holds the lath in place, and a mounting plate that secures the lath furring strip against the wall and framing. In addition, since attachment strip, instead of the lath directly, is secured to the sheathing, fewer mounting devices are needed compared to when a lath is directly secured to a sheathing, where substantially more mounting devices would be needed. Thus in this arrangement, fewer penetrations are created when installing the lath. Additional water resistive features, such insulation layers, and a drainage space surrounded by two water resistive barriers, create space that not only increases insulation, but protects the inner layers of a wall from damage. 1. An attachment strip for attaching a lath to a wall , comprising:a mounting plate for placement of said attachment strip flush against said wall;a mounting device for securing said mounting plate to said wall;an attachment plate substantially perpendicular to said mounting plate, said attachment plate having a vertical edge; and,at least one protruding tooth projecting from said vertical edge of said attachment plate for securing said lath to said attachment strip;whereby mounting said lath over said at least one protruding tooth prevents said lath from easily detaching from said attachment strip;whereby securing said mounting plate to said wall reduces moisture intrusion into said wall by requiring fewer mounting devices and thus fewer holes created, compared to the greater amount of mounting devices needed to alternatively secure said lath directly to said wall.2.
