Claims15
A fastening member for fastening of elements, which fastening member has at least a first side and a second side, wherein
- the fastening member has at least two holes along the longitudinal axis of the fastening member,
- the first side of the fastening member has at least two transversal extensions,
- the first side of the fastening member has at least one longitudinal extension, and
- the width of a first longitudinal extension of the first side of the fastening member is 0.8-1.2 times a width of the transversal extensions of the first side of the fastening member.
A method for manufacturing a fastening member used for fastening of elements, comprising providing the fastening member with at least a first side and a second side, providing the first side of the fastening member with at least two transversal extensions, wherein the method further comprises:
- providing the first side of fastening member with at least one longitudinal extension;
- providing the fastening member with at least two holes along the longitudinal axis of the fastening member;
- and
- manufacturing the fastening member by one of:
- an injection moulding process,
- a compression moulding process, or
- an extrusion process.
A system for manufacturing a fastening member used for fastening of elements, the fastening member comprising at least a first side and a second side, the first side of the fastening member comprising at least two transversal extensions, wherein the first side of the fastening member comprises at least one longitudinal extension and at least two holes along the longitudinal axis of the fastening member;
- and the system comprises at least one of:
- an extruder,
- means for an injection moulding process, and
- means for a compression moulding process.
An arrangement for fastening elements, the arrangement comprising
- three elements, and
- a fastening member, which has a first side and a second side,
- wherein
- the first side of the fastening member has two transversal extensions,
- the first side of the fastening member has at least one longitudinal extension, and
- the fastening member has at least two holes in the longitudinal axis of the fastening member,
- and in the arrangement:
- the three elements are fastened in such a way that two elements are placed parallel to each other and one element is placed perpendicularly to the two elements, in which arrangement the fastening member is in contact with each of the three elements.
