Abstract

The invention relates to a panel with a securing mechanism, with the advantage that said securing mechanism is formed by a notch (5) which joins precisely with a triple fold (6), achieving a strong and secure join. The configuration of the securing mechanism permits material to be absorbed without affecting the initial dimensions at the edge (4), in high relief (2) and/or low relief (3), making the process of manufacturing the panel with a securing mechanism more tolerant to the variations of raw material. Another benefit of the panel with a securing mechanism is that, when two panels are being joined, said join remains hidden, meaning that the triple fold is not visible from the front, providing the join with greater rigidity as well as good decorative value. The panel with a securing mechanism according to the invention permits the triple fold (6) to be unfolded when a greater area needs to be covered with the same panel, without having to join together with another panel with another securing mechanism.

Description

BOARD WITH HOLDING MECHANISM

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to the technical field of metalworking, die-cutting and materials science, since it provides a board with a clamping mechanism.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The construction in metallic structures must be understood as prefabricated par excellence, which means that the different elements that make up a structure must be assembled or joined in some way that guarantees the behavior of the structure as designed. The project and detail of the assemblies can significantly affect the final cost of the structure. The selection of the type of joints must take into account the behavior of the connection, the constructive limitations, the ease of manufacture and mounting aspects.

In all types of metal construction, and more specifically in the case of metal building structures, it is necessary to link simple profiles together to form composite bars, in their final position within the construction as a whole. We call unions, or force seams, those whose main mission is to transmit loads from one profile to another, and simple coupling unions or seams to those whose main mission is to keep the profiles together. The joints used in the extension joints are considered, for all intents and purposes, as strength joints.

The joining means have marked, in an important way, the advance that the construction of metal structures has undergone since the use of rolled steel began.

In order to improve the board assembly systems, it was thought to eliminate the welding and to use assembly systems, therefore, the assembly time is minimized and its costs are reduced since the use of welding is completely eliminated in the process.

Currently, iron and its alloys play a very important role in construction practices, whether as sustainable structures, mezzanines, roofing, wall panels, etc. And it is that all these metallic elements have a fundamental characteristic: structural simplification and slenderness.

Among the metal products that have managed to gain popularity in construction due to their versatility and lightness are metal laminates such as: the steel, board, steel plank and sheet. All of them manufactured from cold profiling from steel sheets or rolls that are continuously passed through dies until forming a transversal geometry.

In the particular case of the steel panel, this is a laminated profile of coated or painted steel and due to this it finds its main applications in exteriors and is mainly used for the manufacture of doors, gates, wall panels or for covering metal structures, among others. A search of the state of the art for board with clamping mechanism was carried out, where it was found that different boards have been developed for this purpose, as mentioned in patent application document number US3347001 (A), with publication date of the October 17,

1967, titled "TILE ROOF WITH INTERLOCKING TABS AND LOCATOR", describing a single-leaf tile that is interlocking, rectangular in shape with tabs bent at all four edges with tabs of opposite edges reversed in opposite directions. The tab on the bottom edge is arranged on the bottom of the tile and the top tab is bent on the outside face of the tile. Both the upper and lower flanges include positive locking stop portions at laterally spaced complementary locations protruding from the flanges towards the body of the tile and with the edges of the stops facing the respective curves of the flange. The pillars engage and engage with each other when a bottom bend of a tile in an upper tile course is engaged with the upper flange (flanges) of a lower tile course. The lateral separation of the locking stop portions is such that the cooperative locking stop is decoupled by relative lateral displacement of the upper and lower interlocking tiles to allow separation of the joined tiles. A nail tab in a top corner has a countersunk hole. A vertical, undulating water overhang is located partially on the tongue of the nail and partially on the body of the tile and extends below a lateral flange of the tile in the corner of the flange of the nail. At the top flange of each shingle is a lance locating pillar to properly locate and also provide metal-to-metal contact between adjacent top and bottom shingles. The aforementioned document refers to a system of sheets that are joined by means of a bend, but does not mention that said assembly is unique for its assembly, there is also no evidence that the construction system can be applied in construction. infrastructure in general and even that furniture can be built with the system.

Another document that was found is the international patent application number W02018101811 (Al), with publication date of June 07, 2018, entitled "PERFORATED PANEL WITH FASTENING MECHANISM", which describes a perforated panel with a support that allows the passage of light, air circulation, visibility through the panel, thanks to perforations in the body of the panel. Another of its advantages is to allow a secure assembly between panels and it can be through either end of the body, allowing a wide variety of applications where different products can be obtained, such as furniture and construction structures. The configuration of the perforated panel with fastening system allows an easy and practical disassembly between panels. The previous document describes assembly panels with ease, but there is no evidence that said panel has a reinforced assembly lock to guarantee strength, rigidity and support in the assembly of an indefinite number of pieces.

Also found was patent application document number MX2009012982A, with a publication date of May 30, 2011, entitled "PANELS, PRESSURE ASSEMBLY FOR JOINING SUCH PANELS AND METHOD FOR JOINING THEM", which describes a panel comprising two different profiles at each of its longitudinal edges, the panels are joined to each other by means of these profiles. The panels are joined by pressing one another through their edges or profiles. The union of several panels provides an article such as a gate or hall, or support for ceilings among others.

The aforementioned document refers to panels that are joined together by profiles on their sides, but it does not describe that these joints provide greater rigidity, strength and security to the assembly, nor is there evidence that walls can be built, partition panels, integral structures and / or furniture in general.

Lastly, patent application document number MX9604135A was found, with a publication date of January 31, 1998, entitled "BLACK SHEET DUEL WITH SEVERAL SAUSAGES IN THE BED OF THE SAME", where said document a Stave made of 22 gauge SAE 1010 steel sheet cut to the required dimensions to make a certain number of sausages along it. The sausages are shaped: rectangular, circular and square. On one side of this section of sheet a single eyebrow is bent at 90 °, which fits into a double eyebrow of an attached piece, which is bent on the opposite side, also at 90 °. Both the sausages and the assembly flange provide the product with strength and rigidity that allow it to be of a certain width. Being the new stave much wider and thinner than the existing one on the market, it speeds up the assembly work, minimizes the cost of work and material.

The previous document refers to panels that are joined by a bend, but there is no evidence that the joint comprises a reinforced bend that provides greater stiffness, strength and support for the assembly of the panels, as well as it does not mention that they can be disassembled to change the figure of the same, nor does it make mention of being able to form complex structures and / or furniture.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

For a better understanding of the invention, the parts that compose the board with a clamping mechanism are listed below:

1. Body

2. High relief

3. Low relief

4. Flange

5. Notch

6. Triple fold

With reference to the figures, the board with a clamping mechanism is made up of a body (1), which has at least one high relief on its surface (2) and at least one low relief (3).

At least one perforation (not shown), configured to allow lighting, ventilation and visibility, can be made in high relief (2) and / or in low relief (3), and are arranged in such a way that they allow the formation of various figures of different shapes, sizes or designs.

At least one inlay (not illustrated) configured to give strength and rigidity to the body (1) of the board with a clamping mechanism, and can be made in the high relief (2) and / or in the low relief (3) of the board with clamping mechanism, said sausage can be of different shapes and / or sizes. The sausage may have at least one perforation (not shown).

At least one flange (4) is arranged longitudinally on the outer sides of the body (1), either in the high relief (2) and / or the low relief (3), said flange (4) can have an inclination of 1 ° to 179 °.

The board of the present invention has a clamping mechanism made up of at least one notch (5) arranged longitudinally on the outer side of the flange (4), and at least one triple fold (6) arranged longitudinally on the inside the flange (4) of the lateral end opposite the notch (5).

The notch (5) can be continuous or sectioned, and is a crushing and / or tearing of the material.

The triple fold (6), can be continuous or sectioned, and has the configuration of a series of bends arranged to be assembled with the notch (5), without the need to use additional tools or materials to secure the assembly.

The configuration of the clamping mechanism allows material to be absorbed without affecting its main dimensions in the flange (4), in high relief (2) and / or low relief (3), making a board manufacturing process with a clamping mechanism more tolerant to variations in raw material. Another benefit of the board with a clamping mechanism is that when an assembly is made between two boards, said assembly is hidden, allowing triple fold to be imperceptible from its front view, giving greater rigidity to the assembly and, in turn, good decoration.

Another benefit of the board with a clamping mechanism is that the triple fold (6) can be unfolded when you want to cover more space with the same board, without the need to assemble with another board with a clamping mechanism.

The assembly of two or more boards is done by means of the clamping mechanism, where a board by the part of the flange (4) that contains the notch (5) is configured to be assembled in the triple fold (6) that is found by the part of the flange (4) of the other board, by means of pressure. The notch (5) prevents the boards from separating as they cannot exit the triple fold (6), where said assembly is configured for the assembly of construction structures in all its applications, as well as furniture of different shapes and sizes; the notch (5) and the triple fold (6) are configured to disassemble and thus form a different structure.

The furniture that is formed by joining several boards with a clamping mechanism can be: screens, desks, cabinets, cupboards, tables, drawers.

The construction structures that are formed by joining several boards with a clamping mechanism can be: walls partitions, ceilings, doors, gates, hallways, window protections, wall coverings, sheds.
