Heat shield element arrangement and method for installing a heat shield element
First Claim
1. A heat shield element arrangement, comprising:
- a heat shield element for a heat shield, comprising;
a hot side;
a cold side;
a plurality of recessed cutouts in a form of retaining grooves on two oppositely disposed edge sides in each case running transversely to a plurality of parallel installation grooves; and
two continuous screw head openings,wherein the two oppositely disposed edge sides span two parallel installation grooves;
wherein the heat shield includes a plurality of heat shield elements arranged adjacent to one another on a supporting structure,wherein the heat shield element is securely fixed to the supporting structure,wherein the supporting structure includes two installation grooves per heat shield element row, each installation groove elongated in a direction parallel to the heat shield element row, andwherein the continuous screw head openings, which penetrate the cold side and the hot side of the heat shield element substantially vertically and through which a screw head of a respective screw is arranged so as to be accessible, may be freely countersunk as far as the supporting structure,wherein each continuous screw head opening is configured over a respective installation groove, and wherein a respective drilled screw hole for accommodating a threaded shank of the respective screw is provided in the respective installation groove of the supporting structure,wherein a respective spring element is arranged under the respective screw head of the respective screw and extend along the cold side of the heat shield element in the respective installation groove of the supporting structure, andwherein an outer end of the spring element is embodied as a clamping retaining hook which is embodied for engaging in one of the lateral recessed retaining grooves of the heat shield element.

Abstract
A heat shield element arrangement including a heat shield element for a heat shield arranged on a supporting structure is provided. On each of the two opposing sides running parallel to the installation grooves the heat shield element includes a continuous screw head opening which penetrates the cold side and the hot side of the heat shield element substantially vertically and through which the screw head of the respective screw is arranged to be accessible to the supporting structure, and a spring element may be arranged under the respective screw, which spring element may be extended along the hot side of the heat shield element and the parallel installation groove of the supporting structure. An outer end of the spring element is embodied as a clamping retaining hook which is provided for the purpose of engaging in the laterally recessed retaining groove of the heat shield element.
