Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of plastering construction surfaces, more particularly to devices and methods for fastening screeds to surfaces.
- Plastering is a building process in which a constructed surface, like an outer wall, inner wall, ceiling, fence or any other type of constructed surface, is coated with one or several layers of plaster.
- Plaster is a mixture of lime or gypsum, sand and water, sometimes with additional additives like cement and fiber, spread on a constructed surface to form a smooth hard surface when dried. Plastering is one of the crucial construction processes, since it determines the outer look of the constructed surface.
- a widely used technique for ensuring uniform thickness of the plaster layer is the usage of screeds, also known as plastering strips or plaster flatness guides.
- a screed is a strip of a rigid material, for example wood, plastic, metal like aluminum and galvanized metal, preferably in a length of 2.0-3.5 meters having a profile.
- Screeds are attached vertically to the surface to be plastered normally in a distance ranging between 1.20-1.50 meters, or the like, between each other.
- the screeds are leveled vertically, normally by using a wire and level.
- a smooth and straight professional plasterer's ruler tool normally made of metal, like aluminum, is slid on two adjacent parallel screeds vertically attached to the surface, and over the plaster layer in order to flatten the plaster layer and give it a smooth and leveled appearance.
- the screeds are covered with plaster and cannot be noticed.
- the screeds are removed from the surface at the end of the plastering process, and the gap generated in the plaster layer is filled-in with plaster and flattened using a trowel or the like.
- a common technique of attaching screeds to a surface to be plastered, after being precisely leveled using for example a spirit level and a wire, is by using an adhesive material suitable for adhering objects to a constructed surface, for example concrete or cement.
- this technique has several drawbacks.
- One drawback is that the plastering process cannot start before the adhesive material dries out, which normally takes a day.
- Another drawback is that while the adhesive material is still wet and soft, the screed may slide downwards as a result of gravity, and this may result in the loss of leveling of the screed.
- Yet another drawback of the current technique is the dependency on a skillful and experienced professional to attach the screeds to the surface to be plastered in a precise and highly leveled position.
- a screed fastener configured to fasten an elongated rigid member to a surface
- the screed fastener comprising a fastening member and a screw
- the fastening member comprises: at least one clamping part configured to tightly grip the elongated rigid member; and at least one opening through which the screw may be screwed into the surface, and wherein the screw is configured to anchor the fastening member to the surface, wherein the screw comprises a bolt head.
- the bolt head of the screw is configured to be locked between the fastening member and the elongated rigid member when an elongated rigid member is gripped by the at least one clamping part, in a manner that ensures tight attachment of the elongated rigid member to the surface.
- the screed fastener further comprises a screw anchor configured to be inserted into a surface and the screw is configured to be screwed into the screw anchor.
- a method for fastening an elongated rigid member to a surface comprising: entering a screw into an opening of a fastening member; attaching the fastening member to a surface by screwing the screw into the surface, while ensuring that the fastening member is precisely leveled; and gripping an elongated rigid member with an at least one clamping part of the fastening member attached to the surface.
- a method for fastening an elongated rigid member to a surface comprising: drilling a hole in a surface; inserting a screw anchor into the hole which is in the surface; entering a screw into an opening of a fastening member; attaching the fastening member to the surface by screwing the screw into the screw anchor that is in the surface, while ensuring that the fastening member is precisely leveled; and gripping an elongated rigid member with an at least one clamping part of the fastening member attached to the surface.
- the surface is a surface to be plastered.

- FIG. 6 is a front perspective view of an exemplary embodiment of a use of two elongated rigid members, serving as screeds, in flattening a plaster layer on a surface.
- One aim of the present invention is to provide a means for attaching screeds to a surface to be plastered in a simple manner, which may be performed not necessarily by a skilled and experienced professional, but yet giving rise to a highly leveled position of screeds on a surface to be plastered.
- Another aim of the present invention is to provide a means for rapidly attaching screeds to a surface to be plastered.
- Another aim of the present invention is to provide a means for attaching screeds to a surface to be plastered, enabling an immediate start of the plastering process after the attachment of screeds to a surface to be plastered, without having to wait for a prolonged period of time.
- a further aim of the present invention is to provide a means for attaching screeds to a surface to be plastered, ensuring precise leveling of the screeds.
- Yet a further aim of the present invention is to provide a method for fastening a screed to a surface to be plastered, using the means for attaching screeds to a surface to be plastered of the present invention.
- One aspect of the present invention is to provide a screed fastener 1 for fastening an elongated rigid member 5, serving as a screed, to a surface to be plastered.
- Fig. 1 is a front perspective view of an exemplary embodiment of an unassembled screed fastener 1 and an elongated rigid member 5.
- the screed fastener 1 comprises a fastening member 10 configured to fasten an elongated rigid member 5 to a surface, and an anchoring member 20 configured to anchor the fastening member 10 to the surface.
- the surface is to be plastered.
- anchoring member 20 Any anchoring member 20 known in the art that is configured to anchor the fastening member 10 to a surface is under the scope of the present invention, for example but not limited to, an adhesive, a nail, and the like.
- the anchoring member 20 is a screw 20.
- the screw 20 comprises a bolt head 25.
- the fastening member 10 is flat in shape and made of a rigid material, for example but not limited to, metal, wood and plastic.
- the fastening member 10 further comprises at least one opening 12, through which the screw 20 may be screwed into a surface. Therefore, the size of the at least one opening 12 should be smaller than the size of the bolt head 25.
