Abstract

A magnetic tack includes a magnetic core. The tack engages with a corresponding magnetic tool which aids installation of the tack in difficult to reach places such as ceilings. The tool also includes features to aid removal of the tack.

Description

Description. 1
Cable Management.
On building projects the problem of keeping the inside of the building clean and tidy is exasperated by trailing cables along the floor. These trailing cables make sweeping the floor more difficult and interferes with moving equipment and mobile scaffolds: as well as being a trip hazard.
My idea will solve this problem by keeping the cables off the floor. On projects keeping the cables off the floor has always been tiresome and inconvenient. Step ladders are always required and either mechanical fixings or inflexible cable ties. My idea along with my fixings will negate step ladders and the need for most if not all mechanical fixings and my fixings will be re-useable.
I have three drawings to help explain the principals of my system, none are to scale. Drawing 1 shows my Magnetic Tack. Drawing 2 shows my Flat Plate and my Quick Fixing. Drawing 3 shows my Fixing Device which, is also used in recovering the fixings.
My system will keep the cables of the floor with the minimum of fuss. Essentially I will manufacture re-useable ferrous metal fixings for fixing to timber or board materials (drawing No 2, Quick Fixing) with tapered edges to allow my Magnetic Fixing Device (drawing No3) access to prise the Quick Fixing from a ceiling. The Quick Fixing will remain magnetically attached on my Fixing Device for recovery. The Quick Fixing will be secured to the board or timber ceilings using my magnetic Fixing Device attached to an appropriate pole; by means of tapping the pole with a hammer. The Quick Fixing can also be hammered into walls. I may have to manufacture my own poles incorporating the Magnetic Fixing Device as a head. This would negate the need for step ladders. Alternatively the Flat Plate (drawing No 2) can be glued or mechanically fixed in the case of fixing to concrete or brick walls or ceilings. Attached to my fixings would be a magnetic swivel hook (I have sourced these swivel hooks from a manufacture) from which cables or cables attached to wires or strong string can be suspended. This will keep all cables as close to the ceilings as wished. The swivel hooks will state the magnitude to which they have been safely tested, which will have a safety factor built in.
The Magnetic Tack (drawing No 1) is simply a re-useable tack fixed to ceilings with my Fixing Device.
This will be particularly useful for hanging decorations to ceilings, removing the need for step ladders and moving furniture. The magnetic tacks will be completely re-useable and easy to recover as they will remain attached to the Fixing Device for retrieval.
