A mounting fixture and method for attachment of construction panels with the mounting fixture

Abstract

Mounting fixture ( 1 ) for construction panels ( 2 ), consisting of an H-shaped profile comprised of a bottom plate ( 3 ), a midriff ( 4 ) and a front plate ( 5 ), whose bottom plate ( 3 ) and front plate ( 5 ) are mutually essentially parallel by the joining midriff ( 4 ), and that construction panels are intended to be attached to the space between the bottom plate ( 3 ) and the front plate ( 5 ). The midriff ( 4 ) and the front plate ( 5 ) are with evenly spaced intervals recessed so that protruding sections ( 6 ) with intermediate recesses ( 7 ) are formed in the mounting fixture's longitudinal length, said protruding sections ( 6 ) consisting of the remaining sections of the midriff ( 4 ) and the front plate ( 5 ), and that each respective recess ( 7 ) is intended to, after the construction panel's insertion, form a space for joint compound for joining and sealing of the panels.

1 . Mounting fixture ( 1 ) for joining construction panels ( 2 ), consisting of an H-shaped profile comprised of a bottom plate ( 3 ), a midriff ( 4 ) and a front plate ( 5 ), whose bottom plate ( 3 ) and front plate ( 5 ) are mutually essentially parallel by the joining midriff ( 4 ), and that construction panels are intended to be attached to the space between the bottom plate ( 3 ) and the front plate ( 5 ) characterized by that the midriff ( 4 ) and the front plate ( 5 ) with evenly spaced intervals are recessed so that protruding sections ( 6 ) with intermediate recesses ( 7 ) are formed in the mounting fixture's longitudinal length, said protruding sections ( 6 ) consisting of the remaining sections of the midriff ( 4 ) and the front plate ( 5 ), and that each respective recess ( 7 ) is intended to, after the construction panel's insertion, form a space for joint compound for joining and sealing of the panels.
