BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a support device of a bearing angle for an architectural stone, and more particularly, to a support device of a bearing angle for an architectural stone that includes a supporter having a screw hole formed at the center thereof and being movable along a spiral thread of an anchor bolt fixed to a wall body, and a cutting blade part being formed on the supporter and penetrating into an insulator by a rotational force generated by movement of the supporter so as to be supported in contact with the wall body, whereby the support device can fix the bearing angle, which will be joined later, in a stable state without any twist or inclination to thereby obtain a firm supporting force as being supported in contact with the wall body by being inserted into the insulator while cutting the insulator in the form of a circle by the cutting blade part of the supporter, and whereby the support device can maximize the insulating effect of the insulator by minimizing a damage of the insulator when the bearing angle is attached to the wall body because the insulator cut by the cutting blade part of the supporter does not fall out of the supporter but is located inside the supporter.

FIGS. 1 and 2 illustrate a bearing angle according to a prior art.

The bearing angle according to the prior art includes: a vertical plate 1 being in contact with the surface of an insulator 6 attached to a wall body 7 in order to fix a stone 8, such as marble, to the surface of the wall body 7 of a building; a vertically elongated hole 2 which is fit to an anchor bolt 5 fixed to the wall body 7, the anchor bolt 7 being fixed by a nut 4; and a horizontal plate 3 on which the stone 8 is put.

According to the prior art, after the insulator 6 is attached to the surface of the wall body 7, the vertically elongated hole 2 of the bearing angle is fit onto the anchor bolt 5 exposed to the surface of the insulator 6, so that the vertical plate 1 is in contact with the insulator 6, and then, the nut 4 is fastened to the anchor bolt 5 inserted into the vertically elongated hole 2, whereby the bearing angle is fixed to the wall body 7.

However, while the nut 4 is fastened to the anchor bolt 5, the bearing angle is not firmly fixed but is fixed in a state where it is twisted or inclined due to elasticity of the insulator 6.

Because the bearing angle is fixed to the wall body in the state where it is twisted or inclined, in the next step, the stone 8 is not fixed to the horizontal plate 3 in good order.

Moreover, because the bearing angle does not keep a firmly fixed state, the stone is attached in an instable state, and hence, there is a problem in that the stone 8 may come away from the wall body 7.

In order to solve the above problems, recently, the insulator 6 that the bearing angle comes in contact is formed in a rectangular shape to get in direct contact with the wall body 7 and has a through hole, and then, the vertical plate 1 of the bearing angle is inserted into the through hole of the insulator, so that the bearing angle is directly fixed to the wall body in a state where it gets in contact with the wall body 7.

However, because several tens or several hundreds of the bearing angles are attached to one building, in order to attach several tens or several hundreds of the bearing angles to one building, several tens or several hundreds of through holes must be formed in the insulator, and hence, it is very inefficient.

Particularly, in the case that several tens or several hundreds of through holes are formed in the insulator as described above, the insulating effect is reduced so much, and hence, such a technique has a problem in that it is inconvenient and complex because it needs additional insulating action.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems occurring in the prior arts, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a support device of a bearing angle for an architectural stone that can fix the bearing angle, which will be joined later, in a stable state without any twist or inclination to thereby obtain a firm supporting force as being supported in contact with the wall body by being inserted into the insulator while cutting the insulator in the form of a circle by the cutting blade part of the supporter, and that can maximize the insulating effect of the insulator by minimizing a damage of the insulator when the bearing angle is attached to the wall body because the insulator cut by the cutting blade part of the supporter does not fall out of the supporter but is located inside the supporter.

To accomplish the above object, according to the present invention, there is provided a support device of a bearing angle for an architectural stone including: a supporter having a screw hole formed at the center thereof and being movable along a spiral thread of an anchor bolt fixed to a wall body; and a cutting blade part being formed on the supporter and penetrating into an insulator by a rotational force generated by movement of the supporter so as to be supported in contact with the wall body.

As described above, the support device of the bearing angle for the architectural stone according to the present invention can fix the bearing angle, which will be joined later, in a stable state without any twist or inclination to thereby obtain a firm supporting force as being supported in contact with the wall body by being inserted into the insulator while cutting the insulator in the form of a circle by the cutting blade part of the supporter.

Moreover, the support device according to the present invention can maximize the insulating effect of the insulator by minimizing a damage of the insulator when the bearing angle is attached to the wall body because the insulator cut by the cutting blade part of the supporter does not fall out of the supporter but is located inside the supporter.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

Hereinafter, reference will be now made in detail to the preferred embodiments of the present invention with reference to the attached drawings.

A support device according to the present invention includes: a supporter 101 having a screw hole 104 formed at the center thereof and being movable along a spiral thread of an anchor bolt 12 fixed on a wall body 14 of a building in order to enhance an insulating effect by firmly fixing a bearing angle 11, which supports a stone 16, on the wall body 14 of the building and minimizing a damage of an insulator 15 when the bearing angle 11 is attached to the wall body 14; and a cutting blade part 102 formed on the supporter 101, the cutting blade part 102 penetrating into the insulator 15 by a rotational force generated by rotation of the supporter 101 and being supported in contact with the wall body 14.

Moreover, the supporter 101 has a flange 105 formed on the outer circumferential surface of the supporter 101 in order to prevent deterioration in the insulating effect by circulating air between the cutting blade part 203 and the insulator 15.

Furthermore, the supporter 101 further includes a dented portion 103 formed on the outer circumferential surface of the screw hole 104 thereof in such a fashion that a tool 17 is inserted into the dented portion 103 to screw-couple the supporter 101 to the anchor bolt 12.

Hereinafter, the operation of the present invention will be described as follows.

FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a structure of a support device according to the present invention. The supporter 101 of the present invention is first screw-coupled to the anchor bolt 12 exposed to the surface of the insulator 15 attached to the wall body 14.

After that, a vertically elongated hole formed in a vertical plate of the bearing angle 11 is fit onto the anchor bolt 12, and a nut 13 is fastened to the anchor bolt 12, then the coupling is completed.

That is, FIGS. 4 and 5 are views showing an assembling process of the support device according to the present invention. The screw hole 104 formed at the center of the supporter 101 of the present invention is screw-coupled to the anchor bolt 12 exposed to the insulator 15 of the wall body 14.

In this instance, after the screw hole 104 is screw-coupled to the anchor bolt 12, while the supporter 101 moves and rotates along the spiral thread, the cutting blade part 102 formed on the supporter 101 cuts the insulator 15 in the form of a circle.

Furthermore, the cutting blade part 102 penetrates the insulator 15 by the continued rotation and comes in contact with the wall body 14, and in this instance, the supporter 101 does not rotate anymore and stops the rotation by the wall body 7.

As described above, the supporter 101 of the present invention does not drop the cut insulator 15 to the outside and holds it in the inside space of the supporter 101.

Because the cut insulator 15 fills the inside space of the supporter 101, the insulating effect is not deteriorated.

Additionally, the supporter 101 may be coupled to the anchor bolt 12 by a user who rotates the supporter 101 manually, but it is too hard to couple the supporter 101 to the anchor bolt 12 manually because there are too many supporters 101.

Accordingly, in order to insert an electronic tool 17 into the supporter 101, the supporter 101 has the dented portion 103 formed on the outer circumferential surface of the screw hole 104.

In other words, the supporter 101 is automatically rotated by the electronic tool 17 inserted into the dented portion 103, so that the assembling work of the supporter 101 can be carried out more rapidly.

As described above, when the assembling work of the supporter 101 is completed, the existing bearing angle 11 is joined to the anchor bolt 12, which is exposed to the screw hole 104 of the supporter 101 firmly supported. For this, the vertically elongated hole formed in the vertical plate of the bearing angle 11 is fit onto the anchor bolt 12, and then, the nut 13 is fastened to the anchor bolt 12.

In this instance, as shown in FIG. 6, the bearing angle 11 can be regulated in its position before being fastened because the bearing angle 11 is vertically movable inside the vertically elongated hole.

Moreover, after the bearing angle 11 is firmly fixed to the supporter 101, as shown in FIG. 7, the stone 16 is put and fixed on the bearing angle 11.

In the meantime, the flange 105 formed on the outer circumferential surface of the supporter 101 serves to prevent deterioration in insulating effect by circulating air through a gap, which is formed between the cutting blade part 102 and the insulator 15 by cutting of the cutting blade part 102.
