EARTHQUAKE-PROOF CLAMP Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC E04B9/30 

FIELD: construction.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to auxiliary accessories for a frame structure of a suspended ceiling, in particular, to an earthquake-proof clamp for stabilisation of frame elements. The earthquake-proof clamp for T-shaped frame profiles of the suspended ceiling, which provides for high strength, rigidity, universality and ease of assembly, and simultaneously improved ability of the clamp to be self-matched with the frame profile. The clamp comprises a cut tab, which serves to create and support matching of the clamp body and the profile, with which the clamp is assembled, as a result of which the clamp capacity to divert upwards relative to the profile considerably reduces or is fully eliminated. The matching tab serves for initial matching of the clamp and the profile during assembly, or by means of clamp latching on the profile, or by means of profile pulling into the clamp. A clamp version is also described.

EFFECT: tab configuration is such that it does not require excessive force during assembly, when a clamp is latched on a profile, or when a profile is pulled into a clamp.
