Definitions
- This invention relates to a skirting board that clamps the carpet to the floor.
- Skirting boards are an edge detail. The purpose, to divide the wall from the floor. It acts as a kicking strip to safeguard the wall.
- This invention dispenses with the conventional carpet gripper found around perimeter walls.
- This invention - The skirting blends into the architrave and dado system.
- the skirting is demountable to aid decorating.
- Hessian, foam, rubber or synthetic backed carpets can be fitted by the DAS skirting system.
- Carpets can be cut oversize to compensate for carpet shrinking.
- a snap-on panel enables:-
- the skirting has two principle components, a backing strip which comprises of a wedge shaped locking block, a locking down screw that nips and holds the carpet in place, and an optional beam clamp which clamps the carpet for its whole length.
- the cover plate which is the skirting, slots over the tenon on the backing strip by pushing in a downwards direction, this locks the two components together and adds further clamping to the carpet, a neat joint can then be made.
- the skirting has a special optional feature, a dovetail or clip slot on its front face, where a snap-on panel can be added to change the shape or to add colour(s) to the skirting.
- a snap-on panel can be added to change the shape or to add colour(s) to the skirting.
- Any type, sign or advertising can be clipped in. By putting the directional signs low to the floor, illuminated signs can be a fire safety factor ie Emergency Exit->, Fire Escape-> etc.
- the drawing shows Jn perspective the two principle components.
- the backing strip (lA) is fitted to wall, this may be adjusted to suit various carpet thicknesses.
- a clamping bolt (lC) nips and clamps the carpet to the floor.
- a swivel pad may be attached to the clamp bolt if desip d.
- LQ For heavy duty clamping an option is LQ use a beam clamp (lD). This is attached to the clamp bolt (lC), the beam clamp gives a continuous clamping to the carpet aTl round the perimeter wall.
- the drawing also shows -various extras-attachments, a connector (lE) mitped strip LH or RH ( ⁇ F ⁇ stop ends QG) corner pieces (ll ⁇ outside or (lj) inside.
- a connector (lE) mitped strip LH or RH ( ⁇ F ⁇ stop ends QG) corner pieces (ll ⁇ outside or (lj) inside.
- Fig 1 illustrates the profile of the skirting board, QB) the outer edge as a dovetail or clip slot for a snap-on connector.
- the inner profile is to locate the connector (lE) and to enable the locking tapered block to slide and to align up to the vee clamping block on the backing strip, once clamped the sliding block may be secured in place.
- the bottom edge of the profile may be a suction pad for solid surfaces .
- An Alternative is a fixed locking tapered block and the skirting board as one unit.
- This drawing illustrates the backing strip (ZA). Fixed to a wall, the backing strip may be adjusted upwards or downward to suit various thicknesses of replacement carpets.
- the backing strip has a raised vee clamping block at intervals along its length.
- Clamping bolts (2D) are at the mid position of all raised blocks, this clamping bolt nips and clamps the carpet to the floor, for a heavy duty clamping a beam clamp (2E) may be used, this gives a continuous clamping to the carpet air round the perimeter wall.
- the locking tapered block on the skirting board (2B) may be as one unit, with the blocks at the same intervals as Tne vee tapered block of the backing strip.
- the locking tapered block (2Q may be a loose item and slide along the inner rear sliderail ⁇ r the the skirting board. This sliding method enables its own alignment with the vee tapered block on the backing strip, once aligned it can be secured in place.
- An alternative method is to spring the skirting towards the wall by means of a spring clip or a wedge system pushing against the backing strip.
- a cable tray (2G) is fixed behind the skirting board independently.
- This drawing illustrates two principle components, a backing strip (3A) with a raised platform at intervals along its ⁇ length.
- This pratform has a keyhole slot and a iacking screw (3C) at mid positions with an optional beam clamp (3D) that clamps tne carpet to the floor.
- the second component has at the same intervals a rotating eccentric keyed spigot (3GjT).
- the eccentric spigot fits inside the keyed slot and as the eccentric is turned, it becomes trapped behind the backing strip platform.
- the eccentrics push against a kicking plate on the backing strip, this pushes the skirting in a downward direction clamping the two principle components together and a second clamping is made to the carpet .
- the skirting WB is a loose item which is secured to the toggle plate. By pushing the skirting board in a downward direction, passing the leverage dead centre to lock itself, the skirting clamps the carpet to the floor. The skirting can be demountable while the carpet remains clamped.
- This drawing illustrates various methods of converting the front blade by means of a snap-on panel. Changes can be made to the skirting by sliding different attachments.
- Fig 7 Any type of sign can be added as illustrated by Fig 7, for example:- Fire Exits, Emergency, Stairs, Room *, Ward * etc.
- This invention has two principle components, a backing strip with a built up vee locating block and a front cover with fixed or sliding locking tapered block, as the outer cover is pushed in a downward direction the two components are locked together, the front cover legs can be clipped under the backing strip to give a close joint against the wall.
- a backing strip (6 has a ⁇ raised vee clamping block spaced at intervals.
- the froTft cover (6B has at the same intervals, a locking tapered block. By pushirTg in a downward direction, both components are locked together.
- the top member again has two principle components.
- 6D front cover
- Fig 10 illustrates the bottom of the architrave matching the skirting boarding.
- Fig 11 illustrates the doorway architrave assembly.
- This invention has two principle components.
- the back strip is fixed to the wall, then the sliding locking tapered block is aligned with the corresponding block. By pushing in a downward position the two components are locked together
- a backing strip ⁇ 3A with a raised vee clamping block, the bottom edge of t ⁇ vee block to match the profile of the dado.
- the front cover (8B) has a fixed or sliding locking tapered block.
- the sliding bl ⁇ * c ⁇ is aligned with the raised vee block on the backing strip. Once aligned, the sliding block may be securely fastened.
- the cover plate has a small tag which is trapped behind the backing strip. This adds strength for the rail, and seals the cover against the wall.
- This drawing shows in perspective, how all the DAS System is joined and fixed together.
- All DAS systems are module units and are joined together by means of a connector system.
- the system can be cut and mitred to any design.
- Corners also can be mitred to suit or standard L shape pieces can be incorporated both for internal and external usage.
- a hinge type corner unit can be introduced .
