The parts for the deck clamps are simple. One 5-6" long 1/4th" bolt. 2 washers, one wing nut, one standard nut, one spring that will fit the bolt and 4 steel corner brackets. |
|
This is the basic assembly of the spring tensioner. This allows the decks tension on the sensors to be adjusted. By tightening the nut. the wing nut binds the bolt so it won’t come undone as the deck is used. |
|
With the head cut off the bolt we will be welding the fixture together as you see here. If you get sloppy with your welds you will need to grind the inner surfaces clean or you will have problems with the tiles response. |
|
Here is a quick diagram of the way this works. The clamp holds the tiles securely in place. The spring provides the tension source so the sensors can be adjusted in sensitivity. |
|
Here is the final product. The finished deck clamps installed in the deck. If you wanted to you could get some thin acrylic and make a decretive cap for each one... but I really like the industrial look of these. |
