The subject of this invention is a Self-adjusting stabilizer for installing structural lining and partitions, adapting to the shape of the elements installed, leveling the groundwork, particularly when installing multi-surface lining.

Lining and facade panels are used in the construction industry as finishing of external surfaces of structural partitions, and their installation is carried out using adhesives or connectors. When the lining needs to be moved away from the surface of the wall, for instance in order to create a ventilation void, it is only possible to apply connectors.

Patent description ref. CH 270176 presents a connector, in which the wall plug sleeve was doubled, formed to create two coaxial elements. The internal element is a quill ending with a disc, to which external lining elements are fixed.

Among other known solutions is patent ref. DE102006014084, where a disc supporting the lining is connected to a screw fixed in the groundwork. The spacing between the lining and the groundwork is adjusted by screwing the screw in or out of the wall plug sleeve.

Patent description ref. P397132 presents an adjusted distance stabilizer, in which a screw fixed with a washer and a locknut passes through a installation disc, and the free end of the thread enters the sleeve of the wall plug and is secured against uncontrolled screwing of the nut and washer.

Another known invention according to patent ref. EP0416411 assumes telescopic connectors, and the distance of the panel from the groundwork is adjusted by extending the telescope and blocking it.

In turn, patent description ref. DE8806975 presents a connector - support, in which a screw adjusting its distance to the groundwork is placed in a conical housing. Application of the solution is predominantly limited to panel flooring.

Another connector type is known from patent description ref. EP2159345, in which the disc is connected in an articulated manner with a mounting base via a cylindrical element, which allows for changing the position of the disc relative to the joint, analogously to how hinges work. A self-adjusting, regulated stabilizer and a method of fixing the self-adjusting, regulated stabilizer to the surface is also known from patent description ref. P.405386, which contains at least one adjusted part of a joint which cooperates in an articulated manner with a connector equipped with a tool socket. The joint is a ball joint, which is additionally equipped with a screw-in socket for the connector supporting the device according to the invention.

Another stabilizer is known from invention ref. P.416010, in which a disc used for installing structural lining is placed on a connector that is screwed into the groundwork and is stabilized by springs which expand between the connector head and the disc and between the disc and a locking element.

All known solutions are characterized by numerous inconveniences which extend the duration of installation works and increase overall costs. The most time-consuming solutions include fixed, immovable installation discs, which must be precisely installed, for instance using a laser curtain. In turn, solutions with moving discs are complicated and expensive to produce. Therefore, the goal was to develop a stabilizer structure for quick and error-free installation of fa ade lining, in particular, at low production costs.

A self-adjusting stabilizer for installing structural lining and partitions according to the invention contains a known connecting element, particularly an installation disc, a structural profile or a clipping mechanism with a pass-through hole, installed in a flat surface, in which a structural-grade connector selected from among screws, nails, pipes or mandrels is placed, and at least one locking element is placed on the surface of the connector, preferably a nut, a nut and washer system, or, in another embodiment of the invention, a mandrel passing crosswise through the structural connector, or in another embodiment of connector surface pressing, depending on the embodiment, a flexible element, preferably a spring, preferably conical, or a plastic, rubber element is placed, at least unilaterally unilaterally, between the locking element and the connecting element, or between the connector head and the connecting element. Whereas the pass-through hole is so enlarged that the connecting element slides between the flexible elements resting on it, particularly springs. In a beneficial embodiment of the invention, the pass-through hole is so enlarged that it forms a circle which is slightly smaller than the diameter of the springs, or, in another embodiment of the invention, it forms intermingling ellipses or a cross whose arms are slightly wider than the connector. In a beneficial embodiment of the invention, a washer is bilaterally placed between the flexible element and the disc.

In the pass-through hole area, the surface of the connecting element is pressed -the central part of the connecting element is lowered in relation to the remaining surface by at least a half of the diameter of the head of the connector placed in the pass-through hole. The connector head is equipped with a socket used to screw the connector in and out, or to hammer it into the surface.

In a beneficial embodiment of the invention, the connecting element is a flat- surfaced disc, the rim of which is preferably pressed and forms a stiffening rib, tow which structural lining is screwed, preferably with screws, or glued. Whereas, around the lowered, central part of the connecting element, adjoining the connecting element, there is a tightening/stiffening pad, made preferably of a magnesium panel, plywood, pressed cardboard, or cardboard laminate and panels selected from among magnesium, steel, aluminum or glass fiber. Below the tightening/stiffening pad, towards the connector end without a head, there is a stabilizing pad with a hole, the dimensions and shape of which correspond to the hole in the connecting element. In a beneficial embodiment of the invention, the stabilizing pad covers at least the central, lowered area of the connecting element.

A stabilizing nut, preferably in the form of a reducing nut, preferably with a double thread, is screwed onto the connector, below the stabilizing pad, and is used to reduce the diameter of the connector by at least one size.

In another embodiment of the invention, the connecting element is a profile, particularly a C-beam, in which an enlarged, pass-through hole is executed. In a beneficial embodiment of the invention, the profile is equipped with at least one joint, or the profile is a linear bearing changing the length of the profile, preferably by at least 1/3.

In another, beneficial embodiment of the invention, the connecting element is equipped with locking elements placed on bars protruding from its outline, and the bars end with loops or clips cooperating with sockets installed in the structural lining.

Whereas, for bars ending with loops, the socket is formed by pivots, preferably shifting radially relative to a pivot-perpendicular axis, which enter the loops.

Whereas, for bars ending with clips, they are formed by cones fixed to the ends of moving bars, stabilized by springs locked by a locking element, and the cones enter the expanded sockets fixed to the lining, particularly structural-grade lining. Whereas, it is also possible that the clips are executed in the lining to be installed, and the expanded sockets are installed on the ends of the bars.

In another embodiment of the invention, the connecting element comprises a structural fitting, particularly a ceramic, wooden or plastic one, preferably with standardized dimensions and equipped with an enlarged pass-through hole, through which the connector passes.

In another embodiment of the invention, the connecting element comprises a panel, at least unilaterally faced, perpendicular to the connector, and the shape of the panel is at least locally so distorted that it exceeds the primary outline of the connecting element, and is preferably sharpened. Depending on the embodiment, the panel fragment exceeding the primary outline of the connecting element cooperates with a socket executed in the face of the lining to be installed, or is hammered into it.
