Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2001509568
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
A mounting plane technology for a gas panel comprising a plurality of discreet blocks. The mounting plane of the present invention includes a track and a centering element. The centering element glides along the tracks such that modular blocks may be anchored to any position along the track. Centering elements are easily added to and removed form tracks thus maximizing the speed and flexibility of configuring or reconfiguring the modular blocks. The centering element and track have a geometrical symmetry that allows for highly precise anchoring of the modular block with respect to the mounting plane. The centering element is harder than the plane material and has grooves to increase the friction between the plane and centering element when the modular block is anchored. Centering elements are deliberately manufactured with a slight asymmetry with respect to the track so that high manufacturing yield is guaranteed. Tracks have devices that enable the centering elements to hold their place against undesired forces.
