Improved adjusting system for a masonry guide

Abstract

The present application relates to a system for adjusting a masonry guide ( 100 ) relative to a brick wall to be laid. The system comprises a joint body ( 10 ) configured to be received in a joint of the wall, and first masonry guide attaching means ( 20 ) to be connected to the joint body and configured for attachment to the masonry guide ( 100 ). According to the invention the joint body ( 10 ) comprises two parts ( 11, 12 ) slidable into each other and connected releasably to each other in a position of use. The first ma -sonry guide attaching means ( 20 ) are configured for releasable attachment close to the underside of the masonry guide ( 100 ). The system further comprises second masonry guide attaching means for attaching the masonry guide ( 100 ) to an inner leaf of a cavity wall.

         15 . A joint body for adjusting a masonry guide relative to a brick wall to be laid, said joint body being configured to be received in a joint of the wall, wherein the joint body comprises two parts connected to each other in a position of use by a connection that is releasable under the influence of an impact force, characterized in that the two parts are slidable into each other after the connection has been released, the slidability having a direction, by an impact force in the sliding direction. 
     
     
         16 . The joint body as claimed in  claim 15 , wherein the joint body has in the position of use a maximum dimension in sliding direction which is smaller than or equal to the dimension of a brick in sliding direction. 
     
     
         17 . The joint body as claimed in  claim 15 , wherein the two parts of the joint body are mutually connected by means of a breakable connection comprising a breakable line running along the peripheral edge of one of the parts. 
     
     
         18 . The joint body as claimed in  claim 15 , wherein the parts of the joint body are mutually connected by means of discrete points forming a breakable connection or a snap connection. 
     
     
         19 . The joint body as claimed in  claim 15 , wherein the releasable connection lies out of the centre of the joint body. 
     
     
         20 . The joint body as claimed in  claim 15 , wherein the joint body comprises a first part which takes an at least partially hollow form and a second part which is configured to be at least partially received in the first part, wherein the first and the second part have a corresponding form. 
     
     
         21 . The joint body as claimed in  claim 20 , wherein the corresponding form is a tapering form. 
     
     
         22 . The joint body as claimed in  claim 15 , wherein one of the parts is provided on one outer end with one or more positioning edges extending substantially transversely of the part. 
     
     
         23 . The joint body as claimed in  claim 22 , wherein the positioning edges are connected breakably to the part. 
     
     
         24 . A system for adjusting a masonry guide relative to a brick wall to be laid, comprising a joint body according to  claim 15  and first masonry guide attaching means to be connected to the joint body and configured for attachment to the masonry guide, wherein the first masonry guide attaching means are configured for releasable attachment close to the underside of the masonry guide. 
     
     
         25 . The system according to  claim 24 , wherein the first masonry guide attaching means comprise a coupling support for attaching to the joint body and a base for attaching to the underside of the masonry guide, wherein the coupling support and the base are provided with first co-acting coupling means. 
     
     
         26 . The system as claimed in  claim 25 , wherein the system further comprises a ground element, wherein the ground element and the base are provided with first co-acting coupling means. 
     
     
         27 . The system as claimed in  claim 24 , wherein the system further comprises second masonry guide attaching means for attaching the masonry guide to an inner leaf of a cavity wall. 
     
     
         28 . The system as claimed in  claim 27 , wherein the second masonry guide attaching means comprise a coupling piece for attaching close to the upper side of the masonry guide, a wall support for attaching to the inner leaf and a flexible coupling arm for connecting the coupling piece and the wall support, wherein the coupling arm and the coupling piece are provided with second co-acting coupling means.
