Description of the wedge-shaped spacer device

The distance distance device is particularly suitable for use in commercial and DIY areas.

Set windows,

leveling the bearing of the wooden ceilings (in case of unevenness) Wall soundproofing,

as chocks for furniture and assembly areas"~in new buildings and renovations of old buildings

The invention is designed to be inexpensive, quick, clean, easy to use and a useful product for everyone. It is a real gap in the market, especially for the many DIY enthusiasts who install their own wooden ceilings, as no comparable or equivalent product is available in specialist and DIY stores.

Sheet 1: Wedge-shaped spacer device, characterized in that at least two wedges (1 + 2) are provided which can be moved relative to one another, the thicker side (3) of one wedge (1) being assigned in the longitudinal direction to the thinner side (4) of the other wedge (2), and that in each of the wedges (1 + 2) a slot (5) is provided which runs continuously from the thinner side to the thicker side, but is not continuous, and which engages around the associated retaining screw (6).

The two wedges (1+2) can of course only be pushed over each other until both slot ends (5) touch the screw.

Sheet 2: When attaching a window, the spacer wedges (1+2) prove to be helpful, time-saving and stabilizing, since at least four fastening points are required for a window.

After the window has been aligned, there is always a gap (7) of 1-2cm between the window frame and the masonry. Then a hole of the dowel thickness is drilled through the window frame and masonry using the drill, then the dowel is pushed through the hole until it is between the window frame and masonry. Now the wedge (1) is pushed from top to bottom into the gap (7) until the slotted end (5) rests on the dowel and the wedge (2) is pushed from bottom to top (see picture 2) until both wedges (1+2) fill the gap (7) and "wedge" them really tightly. Now the screw (6) is simply inserted into the dowel and tightened. The screw (6) is now firmly in place in the window frame and the wedges (1+2) prevent the window frame from warping.

Sheet 3: With a ceiling construction, it is important that the ceiling support is well aligned. Here, too, the spacer wedge (1+2) offers ideal application possibilities. First, the lowest point of the ceiling is determined using the spirit level. Second, the respective wooden slats are drilled approximately every 50cm - 60cm, then the construction slats are loosely doweled to the ceiling. Then wedges (1+2) are inserted at the screws (6) where the spirit level indicates. Here, the wedges (1+2) are pushed over one another as far as is necessary or until the distance (7) is reached.

For example, with a wedge thickness (3) of 1.5 cm, the wedges (1+2) can fill a gap (7) of 2.5 cm when pushed together - i.e. when both wedges (1+2) have their slot ends (5) touching the screw (6).

Therefore, different wedge thicknesses (3) and wedge lengths (from 3 to 4) are required.

Conventional screws (7) can be used, so no special screws are required.

Schmid Sebastian and Elfriede
Westengasse 3 8401 Wiesent Claim for protection Wedge-shaped spacing device characterized in that at least two wedges (1+2) are provided which can be displaced relative to one another, whereby the one thicker side (3) of a wedge (1) is assigned in the longitudinal direction to the thinner side (4) of the other wedge (2), and that in the two wedges (1+2) a slot (5) is provided which runs lengthways towards the thicker side, but is not continuous, starting from the thinner side and which engages around the associated retaining screw (6).
