Abstract

An attachment device for attaching a construction panel to a frame element, the attachment device including a first attachment and a second attachment, the first attachment being used to attach the device to the frame element, the second attachment being used to attach the device to the construction panel, wherein the second attachment includes a first connector element configured to engage with a corresponding second connector element located on the construction panel.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . An attachment device for attaching a construction panel to a frame element, said attachment device comprising a first attachment means and a second attachment means, the first attachment means being used to attach the device to the frame element, the second attachment means is used to attach the device to the construction panel, wherein the second attachment means comprises a first connector element configured to engage with a corresponding second connector element located on the construction panel and wherein said attachment device comprises a main plate element from which first attachment means and second attachment means extend, and wherein said device is arranged so that the frame element is arranged between the construction panel and the main plate. 
     
     
         2 . The attachment device according to  claim 1 , wherein said first connector element and said corresponding second connector element belong to a male-female connector, said male-female connector comprising a plug and a receptacle. 
     
     
         3 . The attachment device according to  claim 2 , wherein said first connector element is a plug. 
     
     
         4 . The attachment device according to  claim 2 , wherein said first connector element is a receptacle. 
     
     
         5 . The attachment device according to  claim 1 , wherein said first attachment means comprises at least one hook. 
     
     
         6 . The attachment device according to  claim 1 , wherein the second attachment means comprise at least one secondary plate element from which the first connector element extends. 
     
     
         7 . The attachment device according to  claim 1 , wherein the first attachment means comprise at least one arm from which at least one hook extends. 
     
     
         8 . The attachment device according to  claim 6 , wherein said at least one secondary plate element extends from the main plate element perpendicularly or at an angle, said secondary plate element being straight or curved or at a right angle. 
     
     
         9 . The attachment device according to  claim 7 , wherein said at least one arm extends from the main plate element perpendicularly, said arm being straight or curved. 
     
     
         10 . The attachment device according to  claim 6 , wherein the second attachment means comprise two secondary plate elements, said secondary plate elements being symmetrical. 
     
     
         11 . The attachment device according to  claim 7 , wherein the first attachment means comprises two arms, each these arms being fitted with a hook, said two arms being symmetrical. 
     
     
         12 . A construction surface system comprising a frame structure, said frame structure comprising at least one frame element, the construction surface system further comprises at least one construction panel attached to said frame structure, wherein said construction surface system further comprises at least one attachment device according to  claim 1  for supporting said construction panel, wherein the at least one attachment device comprises at least one first connector element and wherein the at least one construction panel comprises at least one second connector element configured to engage with the first connector element of the attachment device. 
     
     
         13 . A construction surface system according to  claim 12 , wherein each construction panel is supported by at least two attachment devices. 
     
     
         14 . The construction surface system according to  claim 13 , wherein the frame structure comprises at least two frame elements, said at least two frame elements being parallel or perpendicular to one another. 
     
     
         15 . The construction surface system according to  claim 13 , wherein the attachment device comprises at least two first connector elements, each of said at least two first connector elements being inserted into a second connector element of a different panel. 
     
     
         16 . A method of mounting a construction surface system according to  claim 13 , said method comprising:
 forming the frame structure comprising at least one frame element;   providing at least one attachment device and its attachment to the at least one frame element;   providing at least one construction panel, said construction panel comprising at least one second connector element, and   activating the attachment device to connect the first connector element of the attachment device to the second connector element of the construction panel.
