Patent ID: 8092113

Claim:
A cantilever panel connecting ( 1 ) assembly for joining a ceiling/floor panel ( 2 ) and a cantilever panel ( 3 ), comprising: at least one tension rod ( 27 ) that provides for transference and absorption of horizontal tractive forces; at least one traverse rod ( 28 ) that provides for transference and absorption of vertical shearing forces; pressure means; and a cuboid insulating body ( 4 ); wherein the pressure means is an articulation element ( 5 ) that provides for absorption of movement of the cantilever panel relative to the ceiling/floor panel; wherein the tension rod ( 27 ), traverse rod ( 28 ) and articulation element ( 5 ) pass through the cuboid insulating body ( 4 ); wherein the articulation element ( 5 ) comprises a main body ( 6 ), a first end section ( 7 ) facing the floor/ceiling panel, and a second end section ( 8 ) facing the cantilever panel, the main body ( 6 ) being essentially enclosed in the cuboid insulating body ( 4 ), and the first and second end sections ( 7 , 8 ) respectively protrude into the cantilever panel ( 3 ) and into the floor/ceiling panel ( 2 ) when fitted; wherein a surface of the first and second end sections ( 7 , 8 ) of the articulation element ( 5 ) each have a positive curvature along the main axis of the cuboid insulating body, and the first end section ( 7 , 8 ) is slidably engaged with a joint socket ( 9 , 10 ) having an internal diameter that is attached in positive locking manner with the first end section ( 7 , 8 ); wherein the internal diameter ( 11 ) of the joint socket ( 9 , 10 ) is greater than the external diameter ( 12 ) of the main body ( 6 ) of the articulation element ( 5 ).
