Wedge for a levelling piece in installation of cladding plates

Abstract

The present invention relates to a wedge for a levelling piece, formed by a seating plane and an inclined work plane provided with two slopes having different inclinations, defining a gable shape, wherein each slope has a plurality of protrusions, generating two toothed rows, such that each pair of adjacent protrusions is connected to form a continuous ridge. The gable shape of the wedge allows the wedge to self-centre in an opening defined in the levelling piece and distributes the forces applied by the wedge on the levelling piece in different planes, preventing the inverted U-shaped element from bending with respect to the base, since the forces are compensated.
