DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
The invention relates to a mounting for facing panels which has several securing bolts projecting on the wall side with securing collars running parallelly to the panel, behind which engages at least one wall anchor secured to the wall by anchor bolts and receiving the securing bolts in a suspension slot, whereby a detachable auxiliary mounting means is provided.
A mounting for facing panels which on the wall side have several projecting securing bolts with panel-parallel securing collars, behind which engages at least one hook-like wall anchor which can be anchored in the wall with an anchor bolt is known from DE 37 37 081 A1. The known securing bolt is connected to the facing panel in an axially form-locking manner and has on the wall side a threaded nut forming the securing collar which is parallel to the panel. Behind this securing collar, respectively the known nut, engages a wall anchor which is designed like a frame structure secured to the wall with fastening screws. This connection of the wall anchor with the facing panels, respectively their securing bolts is difficult to handle due to the variety of the required individual adjustments and the multitude of parts. Problems arise particularly in the positioning and the formation of connection points at the wall on the one hand and at the facing side on the other hand.
From DE-A-1 916 590 it is known to screw together light concrete panels and mounting bars via securing bolts and to provide the mounting bars with wall anchors which are inserted in large pear-shaped and undercut anchor holes provided in the wall, wherein plaster is filled in order to securely mount the light concrete panels. The wall anchors are bolts which are fastened by nuts on the mounting bars, which are screwed on the rear of the panel via spacing pieces. Therefore the mounting is built of many parts and expensive to produce. The positioning of the light concrete panels can be critical, since one has to wait for the plaster to harden. The assembly effort with the known mounting is correspondingly high.
From the FR-A-2 540 160 a mounting with the features mentioned in the introduction is known. The facing panel is of a large format and correspondingly heavy. Therefore it is lifted by a lifting machine into a position wherein lower securing bolts of the facing panel are positioned in suspension slots of anchor bolts. In order to secure the upper edge of the facing panel for its fastening to the wall, a wall-side metallic bracket is inserted which prevents the facing panel from tilting away from the wall until upper securing bolts are screwed into the facing panel and secure the latter against tilting. Then the metallic bracket is removed. The known metallic bracket is basically an auxiliary mounting means. It can be dispensed with when the mechanical connection taking place in the normal manner between the wall anchor and the securing bolt can be performed quickly enough. As a result the known metallic bracket complicates the mounting of the facing panel.
By contrast it is the object of the invention to improve a mounting of the aforementioned kind so that facing panels can be fastened to the wall with simple means and in a simple manner.
This problem is solved due to the fact that as an auxiliary mounting means a spring element is provided between the securing bolt and the wall anchor, which pulls the wall anchor towards the securing bolt and which is fastened to a panel edge.
It is important for the invention that it moves away from a screwed connection of the facing panel with an understructure, namely by means of wall anchors. Rather hook-like wall anchors are provided, wherein the securing bolts are suspended with their panel-parallel securing collars. Accordingly the assembly of the facing panel with the wall anchors is extremely simple. A threaded connection is not required. Correspondingly the mounting expenses are drastically reduced. The bores in the facing panels required for the durable connection between the facing panels and the wall anchors and the separate parts t
