Abstract

A fastening spider ( 1 ) and a method of fastening a wear-resistant lining element ( 2 ) to a support surface ( 3 ), over which wear-resistant lining element ( 2 ) material in the form of pieces or particles is intended to move. The fastening spider ( 1 ) comprises a mounting portion ( 5 ) for mounting positioning and clamping to the support surface ( 3 ) and at least one leg ( 8 a - 8 b ) projecting from the mounting portion ( 5 ) and having an underside for holding the wear-resistant lining element ( 2 ) to the support surface ( 3 ). The underside of the leg has an outer portion ( 10 ) and an inner portion ( 11 ), the inner portion ( 11 ) being positioned closer to the mounting portion ( 5 ) than the outer portion ( 10 ). The outer portion ( 10 ) is, at least in the mounting positioning of the mounting portion, positioned closer to the support surface ( 3 ) than the inner portion ( 11 ).

Claims (26)

1. A fastening spider for fastening a wear-resistant lining element to a support surface, over which wear-resistant lining element material in the form of pieces or particles is intended to move, comprising:

a mounting portion for mounting positioning and clamping to the support surface and at least one leg projecting from the mounting portion and having an underside for holding the wear-resistant lining element to the support surface, said underside having an outer portion and an inner portion, the inner portion being positioned closer to the mounting portion than the outer portion, the leg having a length and a width, wherein the length is longer then the width,

wherein the outer portion is, at least in the mounting positioning of the mounting portion, positioned closer to the support surface than the inner portion, and

wherein in the mounting positioning of the mounting portion, the fastening spider is arranged to be in contact with the support surface or the wear-resistant lining element, merely using the outer portion on the underside of the leg.

2. A fastening spider as claimed in claim 1 , wherein, in clamping to the support surface, all of the underside of the leg is arranged to be positioned at the same distance from the support surface.

3. A fastening spider as claimed in claim 1 , wherein, in clamping to the support surface, only the outer portion on the underside of the leg is arranged to be in contact with the support surface.

4. A fastening spider as claimed in claim 1 wherein, in clamping to the support surface, the underside of the mounting portion is arranged to be in contact with the support surface.

5. A fastening spider as claimed in claim 1 wherein, in clamping to the support surface, the fastening spider is arranged to be resilient.

6. A fastening spider as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the underside of the leg is arched.

7. A fastening spider as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the underside of the leg has at least one projecting supporting point.

8. A fastening spider as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the supporting point is arranged to extend down into through holes in the wear-resistant lining element.

9. A fastening spider as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the supporting point is arranged to extend into recesses in the wear-resistant lining element.

10. A fastening spider as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the supporting point is arranged to be pressed into the wear-resistant lining element.

11. A wear lining over which material in the form of pieces or particles is intended to move, comprising:

at least one wear-resistant lining element fastened to a support surface by means of at least one fastening spider, said fastening spider having a mounting portion for mounting positioning and clamping to the support surface; and

at least one leg projecting from the mounting portion and having an underside for holding the wear-resistant lining element to the support surface, said underside having an outer portion and an inner portion, the inner portion being positioned closer to the mounting portion than the outer portion, the leg having a length and a width, wherein the length is longer then the width,

wherein the outer portion is, at least in the mounting positioning of the mounting portion, positioned closer to the support surface than the inner portion, and

wherein, in the mounting positioning of the mounting portion, the fastening spider is arranged to be in contact with the support surface or the at least one wear-resistant lining element, merely using the outer portion on the underside of the leg.

12. A wear lining as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the underside of the leg has at least one supporting point projecting towards the support surface.

13. A wear lining as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the supporting point extends down into through holes in the wear-resistant lining element.

14. A wear lining as claimed in claim 11 , wherein, in the mounting positioning of the mounting portion, the fastening spider is in contact with the support surface or the wear-resistant lining element, merely using the outer portion of the underside of the leg.

15. A method of fastening a wear-resistant lining element to a support surface, over which wear-resistant lining element material in the form of pieces or particles is intended to move, comprising the steps of:

placing the wear-resistant lining element on the support surface,

placing a fastening spider on the wear-resistant lining element, and

clamping the fastening spider to the support surface, which fastening spider has a mounting portion and at least one leg projecting from the mounting portion and having an underside for holding the wear-resistant lining element to the support surface, said underside having an outer portion and an inner portion, the inner portion being positioned closer to the mounting portion than the outer portion, the leg having a length and a width, wherein the length is longer then the width,

wherein in the step of placing the fastening spider on the wear-resistant lining element, the outer portion on the underside of the spider leg is positioned closer to the support surface than the inner portion on the underside of the spider leg.
