Abstract
Abstract A wall stone plate fixing attachment for fixing stone plates securely on a wall, comprising a position base fixed on a wall surface, a position head of a perferably hexagonal shape having a female-thread to engage a male-thread of the position base and an outer end surface bored with position holes, and a securing nail having a vertical wall to fit in a groove of a stone plate and a post with a distal portion and an intermediate small-diameter portion cut with a central slot so that the distal end can recover its original condition after compressed to pass through the holes in the position head to secure the securing nail with the position head so as to secure the stone plate with the securing nail.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
249 words
A wall stone plate fixing attachment comprising; a position base being fixed firmly on a wall, having a cylindrical shape, a male-threaded outer surface for a female-threaded lengthwise hole of a position head to engage with; a position head of a hexagonal shape, having a female-threaded hole to engage with the position base, an outer end surface bored with a plurality of position holes for securing nails to fit therein; a securing nail having a vertical wall of nearly a quarter of a circle with a vertical straight side and a horizontal straight side, a post having a distal cone-shaped portion and an intermediate smaller-diameter portion extending horizontally and rearward from a corner of the vertical and the horizontal side of the vertical wall, a proximal larger-diameter portion, a central slot cut in said distal portion and said intermediate smaller-diameter portion; and said vertical wall of the securing nail fitting in a groove of a wall stone plate, said cone-shaped distal portion of the securing nail being compressed diametrically and pushed through one of said position holes of the outer end surface of the position head and then stopped by a side wall of said position hole to keep the securing nail secured with the position head, each wall stone plate having an inserting groove in each corner, said inserting groove having the same shape as said vertical wall of the securing nail and a depth the same as the thickness of said vertical wall of the securing nail.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
