Device and method for producing and subsequently breaking an irreversible connection

Abstract

A device for producing and subsequently breaking an irreversible connection between an object and a foundation, is formed from a wedge-shaped body. The wedge-shaped body includes at least two opposing wall surfaces that converge at an acute angle to a tip area. The wedge-shaped body has a front side, and a rear side with the tip area arranged opposite the front side. The wedge-shaped body is hollow in an area between the wall surfaces. A receptacle extends from the front side in the direction of the cavity in the wedge-shaped body between the two opposite wall surfaces. The receptacle is separated from the cavity inside the wedge-shaped body by at least one internal partition wall.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A device ( 1 ) for producing and subsequently breaking an irreversible connection ( 2 ) between an object ( 3 ) and a foundation ( 4 ), the device ( 1 ) being formed as a wedge-shaped body ( 10 ), comprising:
 an upper wall ( 100 ′);   a lower wall ( 100 ″) arranged opposite the upper wall ( 100 ′);   a front side ( 103 );   a tip ( 105 ) arranged at a rear end of the wedge-shaped body ( 10 ) opposite the front side ( 103 ) at which the upper wall ( 100 ′) and the lower wall ( 100 ″) converge at an acute angle;   a cavity ( 102 ) formed in an area ( 101 ) between the upper wall ( 100 ′) and the lower wall ( 100 ″);   a receptacle ( 1010 ) extending from the front side ( 103 ) towards the cavity ( 102 ) formed on the wedge-shaped body ( 10 ) between the upper wall ( 100 ′) and the lower wall ( 100 ″); and   a partition wall ( 104 ) arranged between the receptacle ( 1010 ) and the cavity ( 102 ).   
     
     
         2 . The device ( 1 ) according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the receptacle ( 1010 ) is wedge-shaped.   
     
     
         3 . The device ( 1 ) according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the partition wall ( 104 ) is wedge-shaped towards the cavity ( 102 ) or curved towards the cavity ( 102 ).   
     
     
         4 . The device ( 1 ) according to  claim 1 , further comprising
 an upstand ( 106 ) extending upwardly from the upper wall ( 100 ′).   
     
     
         5 . A method for producing an irreversible connection ( 2 ) between an object ( 3 ) and a foundation ( 4 ), comprising:
 applying or introducing a flowable binding agent ( 5 ) between the object ( 3 ) and the foundation ( 4 ) and subsequently introducing the device ( 1 ) as in  claim 1  into the flowable binding agent ( 5 ),   wherein the device ( 1 ) is placed such that its receptacle ( 1010 ) is aligned towards an outside ( 50 ) of a layer formed by the flowable binding agent ( 5 ).   
     
     
         6 . The method according to  claim 5 ,
 wherein the object ( 3 ) is a gravestone.   
     
     
         7 . A method for breaking an irreversible connection ( 2 ) produced according to  claim 5 , comprising:
 introducing a strike tool or an impact tool corresponding to the receptacle ( 1010 ) into the receptacle ( 1010 ); and   piercing the partition wall ( 104 ) by the strike tool or impact tool.   
     
     
         8 . A method for producing an irreversible connection ( 2 ) between an object ( 3 ) and a foundation ( 4 ), comprising:
 introducing the device ( 1 ) as in  claim 1  between the object ( 3 ) and the foundation ( 4 ) and subsequently introducing a flowable binding agent ( 5 ) between the object ( 3 ) and the foundation ( 4 ),   wherein the device ( 1 ) is placed such that its receptacle ( 1010 ) is aligned towards an outside ( 50 ) of a layer formed by the flowable binding agent ( 5 ).   
     
     
         9 . The method according to  claim 8 ,
 wherein the object ( 3 ) is a gravestone.   
     
     
         10 . A method for breaking an irreversible connection ( 2 ) produced according to  claim 8 , comprising:
 introducing a strike tool or an impact tool corresponding to the receptacle ( 1010 ) into the receptacle ( 1010 ); and   piercing the partition wall ( 104 ) by the strike tool or impact tool.
