Definitions

  • the invention relates to a profile rail system for bridging joints or edges in coverings.
  • Such a transition profile is known, for example, from US Pat. No. 2,996,751. It consists of a curved, clampable rail for bridging joints, a base part inserted into the joint and an elastic spring between the rail and base part, the base part being a base plate with two walls mounted vertically on it, each with an inwardly projecting shoulder to accommodate the Has spring and the walls of the base plate are slidably guided on the outside of the rail arranged parallel to them. Both the inward heels of the vertically attached walls and the rear part of the spring are arched so that in principle only a line contact with a correspondingly low fixing force is achieved, which is also dependent on the force of the spring.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a mounting rail system of the type specified, which permanently connects the cover strip of the mounting rail system with the base part and which allows multiple assembly and disassembly without high costs.
  • the tensioning element By designing the tensioning element as a displaceable component, which is provided within the webs of the base plate, it can easily be positioned at any desired location within the profile.
  • the desired clamping force can be individually tailored to the requirements. For example, it is conceivable to increase the profile rail in the door area, where experience has shown that high loads occur.
  • the space between the webs is preferably designed to widen downward, so that the tensioning element engages behind the webs. This ensures a good fixation of the clamping element when tightening the screw.
  • the tensioning element could also be designed such that it is spread when the screw is screwed in and wedged with the webs of the base part.
  • the tensioning element can be pushed below the inward-facing heels on the webs vertically attached to the base plate to the intended fastening point.
  • the shoulder on the webs of the base part towards the center line has an inward and upward inclined surface, since then the tensioning element can be easily pressed into the funnel-shaped base part from above. The strength of the connection is not affected in any way.
  • the shoulders of the clamping element have inclined surfaces, so that the clamping element is wedge-shaped downwards. These simplify pushing the clamping element into the base part.
  • the tensioning element has a groove on the underside.
  • This groove is preferably slightly narrower than the core of the screw.
  • the screw When the screw is screwed into the clamping element, it pushes the two shoulders apart, so that a positive, secure connection between the base part and the clamping element is created.
  • the shoulders of the clamping element can yield due to the longitudinal groove. This allows a simple and convenient assembly of the mounting rail system.
  • a longitudinal groove extending over the entire length of the tensioning element allows the tensioning element to be elastically bent along an axis, so that the elasticity of the material is optimally utilized. It is important that the groove is at least as deep as the height of the heel so that the heel is resilient inward.
  • the embodiment according to claim 6 is particularly advantageous because when the screw is screwed in, the legs of the tensioning element pointing downward are printed outwards.
  • the clamping element therefore jams with its shoulders between the webs of the base part. Nevertheless, this fixed connection can be loosened very easily by loosening the screw.
  • the design of the tensioning element according to claim 7 is favorable because the screw can be rotated into the tensioning element very easily without great effort. A blasting of the clamping element by the screw is impossible. Nevertheless, the screw is held very securely in the clamping element.
  • the tensioning element is inelastic, it can only be pressed with permanent deformation against the shoulders of the webs of the base part or inserted from one side between the webs of the base plate. It is therefore advantageous if the tensioning element according to claim 8 due to its design, for example by means of axially directed recesses, or due to its material, such as. Plastic that is elastic in the radial direction.
  • the abutting surfaces of the two shoulders of the webs of the base part and the tensioning element are oriented perpendicular to the center line of the profile rail system, the largest possible contact surface is advantageously ensured for secure fastening. Nevertheless, the tensioning element can be easily removed from the space between the webs of the base part in the released state.
  • the stop surface of the tensioning element could also point obliquely upwards, which allows the tensioning element to be removed from the base part very easily.
  • the stop surface of the clamping element could also be undercut like a saw tooth.
  • a profile rail system 1 according to FIG. 1 is essentially symmetrical to a center line M and consists of a curved cover strip 2 with two hanging webs 4 attached perpendicularly to it 3 allow a clean kinking of the cover strip 2.
  • a leg 2c By tapping a leg 2c, a height compensation for bridging coverings B of different heights is therefore achieved in a very simple manner. If larger height differences have to be overcome, the two legs 2c can also be of different lengths.
  • the cover strip 2 overlaps with its hanging webs 4 an upright part 7 of a Base part 6. This has a base plate 8 with two webs 10 mounted perpendicularly thereon.
  • a clamping element 12 serves to connect the cover strip 2 to the base part 6.
  • the cover strip 2 and the base part 6 are connected to one another by a screw 14.
  • the legs 2c of the cover strip 2 are slightly elastic, so that when the cover strip 2 is connected to the base part 6 via the screw 14, the surfaces 2a of the legs 2c are pressed firmly against the covering (not shown).
  • the lower surfaces 2a of the legs 2c need not be flat; you can e.g. also be designed as a sealing lip that prevents liquid from flowing into the joint between two covering parts.
  • the base part 6 consists of the base plate 8 and the upright part 7, which is formed by two webs 10 which are vertically arranged on the base plate 8 at a distance from one another.
  • a clamping element 12 is provided as an independent component between these webs 10.
  • the covering parts B are so thick that it is sufficient for a sufficiently firm attachment of the mounting rail system 1, by means of the screw 14 via the clamping element 12, the webs 10 of the base part 6 against the hanging webs 4 of the cover strip 2 and thus also against the edges of the To press covering parts B.
  • it may be necessary to firmly connect the base panel to the base for example by gluing or screwing it on, using a known adhesive that does not attack the base.
  • bores 8c can be provided centrally in the base plate 8 for receiving holding means.
  • the base part is optimally held in this way.
  • the width of the base plate 8 for the base is increased at least in sections.
  • the widened part 8a of the base plate 8 or of the adjacent covering part B is preferably formed with a smaller thickness in order to ensure a uniform thickness of the covering B. This widened part 8a is pushed under the adjacent covering B, so that the base part 6 is securely clamped to the covering B after the screws 14 have been tightened.
  • the webs 10 mounted vertically on the base plate 8 have at their upper ends inward shoulders 10a with an inward and upward sloping surface 10b.
  • the shoulders 10 a each end with a stop surface 10 c directed perpendicular to the center line M.
  • the webs 10 are designed to be flexible inwards and outwards in order to be able to press the tensioning element 12 more easily past the shoulders 10a in the direction of the base plate 8.
  • a flexible connection between webs 10 and base plate 8 is e.g. achieved if both are made of elastic plastic or the webs 10 have a very small wall thickness ..
  • the clamping element 12 is generally a cuboid-shaped part which has outwardly directed shoulders 12a with outwardly and downwardly directed inclined surfaces 12b.
  • the shoulders 12a each end on the upper side with a stop surface 12c directed perpendicular to the center line M.
  • the tensioning element 12 has a central longitudinal groove 12d.
  • a central opening 12e is provided in the upper region, which can have a thread in order to receive a screw 14 with its thread 14a. In this way, the cover strip 2 is connected to the base part 6.
  • the release groove 12d of the tensioning element 12 is in the area of its shoulders 12a slightly narrower than the core of the screw 14 and tapers downwards in order to press the shoulders 12a against the webs 10 of the base part 6.
  • a plurality of screws 14 can also be provided for fixing.
  • the length of the screws 14 depends on the thickness of the bridged coverings B and should be dimensioned such that the end of the screw 14 extends far enough into the longitudinal groove 12d of the clamping element 12 to spread the clamping element 12.
  • the screw 14 must be able to be screwed in completely.
  • the clamping element 12 can be pressed against the webs 10 of the base plate 8 by deforming its longitudinal groove 12d by means of the screw 14.
  • the tensioning element 12 is elastic, that is, if its end in the area of the shoulders 12a has, for example, recesses in the axial direction and / or the entire tensioning element 12 is made of elastic plastic.
  • the curved cover strip 2 has a recess 2b corresponding to the countersunk head 14b of the screw 14. It is possible to use this countersunk head 14b in a known manner, e.g. cover by a suitable button, which is pressed into a bore of the countersunk head 14b and corresponds to the appearance of the cover strip 2.
  • FIG. 2 showing a profile rail that has been fully assembled between two covering parts B.
  • the base part 6 is placed in the joint between two covering parts B, the tensioning element 12 already being between the webs 10 of the base part 6 and past the shoulders 10a in the direction of the base plate 8 or in the longitudinal direction of the base plate 8 was pushed into the intended position.
  • the cover strip 2 is placed over the joint, the screw 14 is inserted into the recess 2b provided in the cover strip 2 and screwed into the tensioning element 12.
  • the clamping element 12 with the stop surfaces 12c of its shoulders 12a is pulled against the stop surfaces 10c of the shoulders 10a of the webs 10 of the base part 6.
  • the cover strip 2 is pressed by further screws against the covering or plate parts which are to be bridged by the mounting rail system 1.
  • the hanging webs 4 of the cover strip 2 slide along the outer surfaces of the webs 10 attached to the base plate 8 until the webs 10 of the base part 6 abut the cover strip 2, or the lower surfaces 2a of the cover strip sit on the covering B.
  • the lower end of the screw 14 presses against the narrowed longitudinal groove 12d of the tensioning element 12 and thus its shoulders 12a against the webs 10 of the base part 6.
  • the webs 10 of the base part 6 in turn become against the hanging webs 4 of the cover strip 2 pressed. This creates the stable connection between the cover strip 2 pressed onto the covering parts B and the base element 6.
  • the cover strip 2 Since the cover strip 2 is curved, the hanging webs 4 of the cover strip 2 are pressed outwards against the narrow sides of the covering parts B by tightening the screw 14. This pressure is sufficient for a certain thickness of the covering parts B such as with parquet floors, in order to securely anchor the profile rail system 1 between the covering parts, without damaging the underlay, for example, through screw holes.
  • the base plate 8 can be provided with an adhesive layer known per se in order to securely fix the base plate 8 to the base.
  • 8b holes 8c can be provided in the base plate for receiving screws. These bores 8c lie either on the center line M or outside the webs 10.
  • the base plate 8 makes sense to increase the width of the base plate 8 on one side or on both sides, and this part 8a of the base plate 8, possibly reduced in thickness, under the covering parts B to arrange.
  • the holes 8c are then provided in the area of the widening 8a.
  • the thickness of covering B can be reduced in this area if necessary.
  • FIG. 3 shows a sectional view along the section line S from FIG come.
  • the screw 14 engages in the longitudinal groove 12d of the clamping element 12 so that its shoulders 12a are pressed against the webs 10 of the base part 6. In this way, the clamping element 12 is wedged in the base part 6, so that there is a particularly firm connection.
