Wedge for a levelling piece in installation of cladding plates

Abstract

The present invention relates to a wedge for a levelling piece, formed by a seating plane and an inclined work plane provided with two slopes having different inclinations, defining a gable shape, wherein each slope has a plurality of protrusions, generating two toothed rows, such that each pair of adjacent protrusions is connected to form a continuous ridge. The gable shape of the wedge allows the wedge to self-centre in an opening defined in the levelling piece and distributes the forces applied by the wedge on the levelling piece in different planes, preventing the inverted U-shaped element from bending with respect to the base, since the forces are compensated.

1 . A wedge for a levelling piece in installation of cladding plates, the wedge comprising a seating plane and an inclined work plane with respect to the seating plane,
 wherein the work plane comprises two slopes with different inclinations, defining an angular arrangement or gable shape, and   wherein each slope of the work plane has a plurality of protrusions generating two toothed rows, each toothed row being arranged on a slope of the work plane such that each pair of adjacent protrusions is arranged on a slope of the work plane and connected to form a continuous ridge.   
     
     
         2 . The wedge according to  claim 1 , wherein each protrusion has a bevelled surface. 
     
     
         3 . The wedge according to  claim 1 , further comprising a groove at one end of the work plane with a greater height than an opposite end of the work plane. 
     
     
         4 . The wedge according to  claim 1 , further comprising struts at side surfaces of the wedge.
