Abstract
Abstract A mounting element is provided for connecting a cladding structure to a support wall with the use of a wire anchoring member having one end mortared in the cladding structure. The mounting element has a plate-like holding portion adapted to be driven into the support wall, and an eye-like receiving portion adapted to receive the other end of the wire anchoring member. The mounting element may be manufactured from a thin sheet whose one part forms the holding portion, and another part is bent so as to form a sleeve-shaped receiving portion located centrally and extending lengthwise of the holding portion. An end face of the receiving portion may be offset relative to an end edge of the holding portion by a distance which is substantially equal to the thickness of the wire anchoring element. A leading end section of the holding portion may be bevelled so as to form an insertion tip.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 15
Claim 1
Independent Claim
101 words
A mounting element for connecting a ventilated cladding structure to a support wall, particularly one composed of aerated cement blocks, with the use of a wire anchoring member having one end mortared in a joint of the cladding structure, the mounting element comprising an eye-like receiving portion arranged to receive another end of the wire anchoring member, and a plate-like holding portion arranged to be driven into the supported wall retained in the latter and connected with said eye-like receiving portion so as to connect the support wall through said eye-like receiving portion and said anchoring member, with the cladding structure.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
101 words
A mounting element for connecting a ventilated cladding structure to a support wall, particularly one composed of aerated cement blocks, with the use of a wire anchoring member having one end mortared in a joint of the cladding structure, the mounting element comprising an eye-like receiving portion arranged to receive another end of the wire anchoring member, and a plate-like holding portion arranged to be driven into the supported wall retained in the latter and connected with said eye-like receiving portion so as to connect the support wall through said eye-like receiving portion and said anchoring member, with the cladding structure.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
36 words
A mounting element as defined in claim 1, wherein said holding portion is constituted by a part of a sheet plate whose another part is bent so as to form a hinge forming said receiving portion.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
40 words
A mounting element as defined in claim 2, wherein said holding portion is elongated in the direction of driving-in, said hinge which forms said receiving portion being also elongated and extending in the direction of elongation of said holding portion.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
39 words
A mounting element as defined in claim 3, wherein said hinge which forms said receiving portion is located centrally of said holding portion as considered in a direction which is transverse to the direction of elongation of the latter.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
36 words
A mounting element as defined in claim 1, wherein said holding portion has an end edge, said receiving portion having an end face which faces toward said end edge and is offset relative to the latter.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
47 words
A mounting element as defined in claim 5, wherein the wire anchoring member has a predetermined thickness, said end face of said receiving portion being offset relative to said end edge of said holding portion by a distance corresponding to the thickness of the wire anchoring member.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
108 words
A mounting element for connecting a ventilated cladding structure to a support wall, particularly one composed of aerated cement blocks, with the use of a wire anchoring member having one end mortared in a joint of the cladding structure, the mounting element comprising a plate-like holding portion arranged to be driven into an outer face of the support wall, said holding portion having an end section which is leading as considered in the direction of driving of said holding portion into the support wall, and is bevelled so as to form a tip; and an eye-like receiving portion arranged to receive another end of the wire anchoring member.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
108 words
A mounting element for connecting a ventilated cladding structure to a support wall, particularly one composed of aerated cement blocks, with the use of a wire anchoring member having one end mortared in a joint of the cladding structure, the mounting element comprising a plate-like holding portion arranged to be driven into an outer face of the support wall, said holding portion having an end section which is leading as considered in the direction of driving of said holding portion into the support wall, and is bevelled so as to form a tip; and an eye-like receiving portion arranged to receive another end of the wire anchoring member.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
47 words
A mounting element as defined in claim 7, wherein said receiving portion is located centrally of said holding portion as considered in a direction which is transverse to said driving direction, said holding portion having two bevels which are formed at both sides of said receiving portion.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
97 words
A mounting element for connecting a ventilated cladding structure to a support wall, particularly one composed of aerated cement blocks, with the use of a wire anchoring member having one end mortared in a joint of the cladding structure, the mounting element comprising a plate-like holding portion arranged to be driven into an outer face of the support wall, said holding portion being elongated in the direction of driving-in and having at least one convex section extending in the direction of elongation; and an eye-like receiving portion arranged to receive another end of the wire anchoring member.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
97 words
A mounting element for connecting a ventilated cladding structure to a support wall, particularly one composed of aerated cement blocks, with the use of a wire anchoring member having one end mortared in a joint of the cladding structure, the mounting element comprising a plate-like holding portion arranged to be driven into an outer face of the support wall, said holding portion being elongated in the direction of driving-in and having at least one convex section extending in the direction of elongation; and an eye-like receiving portion arranged to receive another end of the wire anchoring member.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
52 words
A mounting element as defined in claim 9, wherein said receiving portion is located centrally of said holding portion as considered in a direction transverse to the direction of elongation, said holding portion further having a second such convex section, said convex sections being located at both sides of said receiving portion.
Claim 14
Independent Claim
130 words
A method of connecting a ventilated cladding structure to a support wall, particularly composed of aerated cement blocks, comprising the steps of providing a wire anchoring member having two spaced ends; mortaring one of the ends of the wire anchoring member in a joint of the cladding structure; providing a mounting element having a plate-like holding portion and an eye-like receiving portion; driving the plate-like holding portion of the mounting element into the support wall, so that it is retained in the support wall; and hooking the other end of the wire anchoring member into the eye-like receiving portion of the mounting element, so that the plate-like holding portion of the mounting element connects the support wall through the eye-like receiving portion and the anchoring member, with the cladding structure.
Claim 15
Independent Claim
130 words
A method of connecting a ventilated cladding structure to a support wall, particularly composed of aerated cement blocks, comprising the steps of providing a wire anchoring member having two spaced ends; mortaring one of the ends of the wire anchoring member in a joint of the cladding structure; providing a mounting element having a plate-like holding portion and an eye-like receiving portion; driving the plate-like holding portion of the mounting element into the support wall, so that it is retained in the support wall; and hooking the other end of the wire anchoring member into the eye-like receiving portion of the mounting element, so that the plate-like holding portion of the mounting element connects the support wall through the eye-like receiving portion and the anchoring member, with the cladding structure.
