Description

The invention relates to a device for creating a transition between a sanitary device and a vertical surface, and a method for creating such a transition and a wet or wet area with such a transition.

There are transitions between sanitary facilities and walls in and around buildings in the damp or wet area, which are usually produced today with connection tapes.

Over time, settlement phenomena may occur in which cracks may form in the area of a connecting band or show separation phenomena. Also in the area of expansion joints such effects can occur.

Therefore, there are now connection tapes, such as the 5-star band of Schaco AG, Switzerland, which have a Dehnzone. By using such a stretch zone tearing or detachment of the connecting band can be prevented.

The construction of such connection tapes is usually complicated and the tapes are therefore expensive. In addition, the installation of such connection tapes is not always easy.

It has as its object to provide a device which is ideally suited as a transition between a sanitary device and a vertical surface and which is easy to handle and easy to assemble.

This object is achieved by a device according to claim 1. A corresponding method can be taken from claim 11. A corresponding wet or wet area can be found in claim 12. Advantageous embodiments are contained in the subclaims.

The device of the invention is specifically designed for making a transition between a sanitary device and an on-site vertical or horizontal surface. The device has a flat, strip-like basic shape which is defined by a strip length which runs parallel to a longitudinal axis and a strip width which is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The device of the invention comprises: a first extensible web comprising an elastic base material extending parallel to the longitudinal axis, a second web extending parallel to the longitudinal axis and along a longitudinal edge flat on a side surface of the first web arranged and connected thereto to define a first strip-shaped zone of the device, the device having a second strip-shaped region of the first web extending parallel to the longitudinal axis and defined by the first web in this strip-shaped region is provided with a protective layer so as to define a stretch zone.

The second track may be intimately connected to the first track in all embodiments.

The second web may be bonded to the first web in all embodiments by gluing, vulcanizing, fusing, or pressing.

The second path can be through in all embodiments

Sew on or attach to the first panel.

The second web may in all embodiments comprise a material that differs from the base material of the first web in that it is not or hardly elastic.

The first web should preferably have a modulus of elasticity (modulus of elasticity) less than 10 GPa in all embodiments. Particularly suitable are first tracks, the one

Young's modulus (modulus of elasticity) smaller than 1 GPa.

The device of the invention can be used in all embodiments in the following, exemplified, sanitary facilities: bathtubs,

Shower trays, shower channels, gutters or pots, sinks, washbasins or furniture, basins etc.

The apparatus of the invention can be used in all embodiments to provide for a transition between a vertical surface (frame) of a sanitary device and an on-site vertical surface (eg a wall) or for a transition between a vertical surface (frame) of a sanitary device and an on-site Horizontal surface (eg a floor) to provide.

The most diverse areas of application in or on buildings are summarized here with the term "wet and wet area".

Preferably, the device of the invention can be used in all embodiments where there is a gap between tiles, stoneware, slabs or other wall coverings, which is typically grouted with silicone.

In all embodiments, the device of the invention preferably comprises a second strip-shaped zone in addition to a first strip-shaped zone and a second strip-shaped zone, the second strip-shaped zone being arranged between the first strip-shaped zone and the second strip-shaped zone.

Optionally, the device of the invention may be a

Include cut protection strips. Such a

Cut protection strip can either be bonded to the first panel by means of a pressure-sensitive adhesive, or the cut protection strip can be provided as a separate strip for insertion into a longitudinal gap (called a standing constellation), or the cut protection strip can be arranged as a separate strip in a hanging constellation in front of the first panel , If necessary, the cut protection strip can also be separated from the pressure-sensitive adhesive, if the specific mounting situation does not permit or require cut protection strips.

The optional cut protection strip can be used at all

Embodiments a metallic material (eg a CNS foil or a CNS lattice or mesh) and / or a plastic material (eg a high strength polyethylene) and / or a composite material (eg a non-woven or woven fabric of aramid and / or other cut-resistant fibers) which, due to its structure and / or material property (s), offers protection against damage or cutting with a sharp object (eg with a knife).

The cut protection strip should have a cut resistance according to DIN EN 388 test with a factor (also called cutting index) of greater than or equal to 5 in all embodiments. Even if this DIN EN 388 refers to the testing of protective gloves against mechanical risks, it can be transferred 1: 1 to the sanitary area.

The cut protection strip should be distinguished in all embodiments not only by a sufficiently high cut resistance but also by a high puncture resistance.

The cut protection strip should in all embodiments have a puncture resistance according to DIN EN 388 test with a puncture force of greater than or equal to 60N.

The cut resistance can be achieved in all embodiments by addition / addition of fibers, spheres or granules in the plastic material or in the composite material. Metallic cut protective strips usually do not need such additions or admixtures, but can optionally be coated, coated or reinforced to improve the cut resistance.

Particularly suitable as a cut protection strip is a metal lattice structure, a plastic lattice structure, a fabric lattice structure or a fiber lattice structure. Also, grid structures of a combination of two or more than two of these materials are possible.

By definition, such a lattice structure should be a (fixed) net, woven fabric, mesh, perforated lattice, expanded metal or scrim which is flexible in the plane or at least manually bendable. The lattice structure should therefore not have high inherent rigidity in the plane (called bending stiffness), so that the optional cut protection strip can also be guided around small radii (less than or equal to 5 mm).

Furthermore, the terms "strip" or "strip" are intended to indicate that the geometry extends in one direction, the so-called "strip longitudinal direction" or "strip length", while the width and thickness of the strip measured perpendicularly thereto are smaller.

The width of the device of the invention may for example be between about 4 cm and 20 cm in all embodiments.

The overall thickness of the device of the invention may typically be between about 0.5 mm and 8 mm in all embodiments.

The first web of the device of the invention may in all embodiments have a thickness which is between 0.1 and 2 mm.

The first web of the device of the invention may be designed in all embodiments specifically so that the surface of the front and / or back is designed rough or porous, or that the surface is designed in another way adhesion-promoting (eg by the one-sided or two-sided lamination or (warm) pressing a self-elastic nonwoven material).

In all embodiments, the protective layer can already be connected ex works to the first web of the device. However, in all embodiments, the protective layer can also be supplied as a separate component in order to then connect the protective layer to the first path of the device on site. The connection to the first web of the device may be prior to assembly of the device, or it may be done in an intermediate step after assembly of the first web.

The protective layer may in all embodiments comprise only one material (e.g., an adhesive or impregnation).

However, the protective layer in all embodiments may also comprise two or more than two materials. Thus, e.g. in all embodiments, a thin, preferably flexible, plastic strip be provided on the back with an adhesive layer to serve as a protective layer.

Preferably, all embodiments include one

Plastic film, which is provided on the back with a pressure-sensitive adhesive as an adhesive layer.

As a protective layer, in all embodiments, a combination of a plastic strip (e.g., a plastic film) and a cut protection strip may serve.

In all embodiments, the protective layer may at least partially overlap or overlap the second sheet and extend beyond the first strip-shaped zone into the second strip-shaped zone to protect the stretch zone there.

In all embodiments, but also a

Cut protection strips are used, which is provided on the back with a double adhesive strip, wherein at least one adhesive layer of this double-adhesive strip has a pressure-sensitive adhesive. In this case, the combination serves

Cut protection strips with double adhesive strips as

Protective layer.

The device of the invention may be two-ply or multi-ply in all embodiments.

The device of the invention may comprise in all embodiments on the room side and / or on the wall side a soundproofing strip.

The device of the invention may optionally comprise, in all embodiments on the front side, a stretchable nonwoven, fibrous or web material, e.g. embedding in one

Liquid material (e.g., a liquid seal or a sealing slurry).

An area of the backside of the device of the invention may optionally be provided with an adhesive (e.g., butyl) in all embodiments for securing the device to a vertical or horizontal surface (e.g., wall or floor).

Further details and advantages of the invention will be described below with reference to embodiments and with reference to the drawings. It should be noted that the drawings are not to scale. Above all, the thicknesses of the various elements are not shown in real relationship to each other.

In the following location and direction are used to describe the invention better. These details refer to the respective installation situation and should therefore not be interpreted as a restriction. In order to be able to better narrow down the location and direction information, a reference to the wall 2 (also called vertical area 2) is made in part, in which e.g. from a wall-near element, a wall facing, wall facing away from the surface or a wall-parallel assembly is the speech.

The invention will be described below with reference to some

Embodiments described.

It concerns here devices 5 (also as sealing or

Connecting band), which is e.g. can serve to provide a tight transition in the connection area between a bathtub, or other sanitary device 1, and a wall surface or bottom surface 2. A corresponding example is shown in FIG. 4. As sanitary facilities 1 bathtubs, shower trays, shower trays, sinks, troughs, basins and the like are called.

The devices 5 of the invention have a flat, strip-like basic shape which is defined by a strip length Lx which runs parallel to a longitudinal axis x and by a strip width b which runs parallel to a transverse axis y. The stripe width b is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis x, e.g. can be seen in Fig. 1A.

In the figures, various embodiments are shown in flat form either in a front view (see Fig. 1A) or in a sectional view. The sectional views are shown in part in a kind of exploded view.

The strip length Lx defines a plane E (x-y-plane) with the strip width b perpendicular to it. In Fig. IC, the plane E is indicated by a dashed line. In the illustrations of FIGS. 1A and 1B, the plane E lies in the plane of the drawing.

The device 5 of the invention is in all

Embodiments designed in particular for use in the wet and wet area 100 of a building. Corresponding examples of suitable devices 5 are shown in the figures.

The devices 5 of the invention include in all

Embodiments a first stretchable web 6 of an elastic base material. This elastic base material has in all embodiments at least one extensibility in the transverse direction parallel to the y-axis (also called transverse ductility).

In all embodiments, a thermoplastic

Elastomer (TPE) and / or an acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (also abbreviated to NBR) are used as the base material, the first web 6 in this case having a thickness between 0.2 and 0.8 mm.

In all embodiments, it is also possible to use a plastic fleece, fabric, grid, or net which is coated, laminated, or covered with plastic so as to obtain a first extensible web 6. Particularly suitable is a TPE-coated polypropylene nonwoven which is extensible and longitudinally stable.

The elastic base material may in all embodiments also have a longitudinal extensibility parallel to the x-axis (also called longitudinal extensibility).

In particular, the transverse extensibility is of great importance, since settling phenomena can occur between the sanitary device 1 and the vertical surface 2 (for example a wall 2) and expansion movements in the region of expansion joints. So it can be e.g. Over time, due to drying processes, temperature fluctuations and other processes, a bathtub 1 moves a few millimeters relative to a wall 2 next to it.

Therefore, in all embodiments, the device 5 of the invention is preferably designed to be able to compensate for such settlement movements and expansion movements. A device 5 of the invention therefore has an expansion zone DZ which, in all embodiments, permits transverse extensibility, preferably in the range between 1 mm and 2 cm.

The expansion zone DZ is preferably stretchable in all embodiments by at least 50% parallel to the y-axis. If the stretch zone DZ is e.g. has a width b2 parallel to the y-axis, which is 2 cm, then the width b2 can be increased to at least 3 cm. With the extensibility of at least 50%, there is sufficient freedom to give in settlement movements and the like, without the basic functions of the device 5 fail. The basic functions, depending on the embodiment, denote the tightness and the ability for sound insulation or decoupling.

The extensibility in the region of the expansion zone DZ is preferably between 60% and 320%. This leaves enough room for maneuver, even under extreme conditions

Settling movements and stretching movements to yield without the basic functions fail.

The elastic base material of the first web 6 preferably has in all embodiments

Young's modulus smaller than 100 N / mm 2. More preferably, the modulus of elasticity in all embodiments is less than 10 N / mm 2.

In order to assemble the first web 6 securely and firmly with other materials and / or layers to a ready-to-assembly device 5, the first web 6 in all embodiments preferably has a side surface (here the front 6.3), the good adhesion or

Has connection properties. The importance of this aspect of the invention can be particularly well described by comparison with a rubbery, smooth material (such as a bicycle tube). A rubbery, smooth material typically has high elasticity (i.e., a very small modulus of elasticity). To be able to connect a layer of another material with the rubbery, smooth material, special bonding techniques must be used. The bicycle hose must e.g. the

Surface first roughened, then, for. to be able to vulcanize a patch.

The invention therefore relies on embodiments in which the at least one side surface of the first web 6 has good adhesion or connection properties. Preferably, in all embodiments, both side surfaces 6.3, 6.4 of the first web 6 have good adhesion or connection properties.

For this purpose, the side surface 6.3 / can the

Side surfaces 6.3, 6.4 of the first track 6 at all

Embodiments e.g. have a net, tissue, fleece or fibrous surface. However, this type of surface must be chosen so that the transverse extensibility and the optional longitudinal extensibility of the elastic base material of the first web 6 is substantially maintained. That the net, fabric, fleece or fibrous surface itself must also be ductile.

In addition, the first web of material 6 must have sufficient flexibility in the plane E to be suitable as part of a device 5.

If this is referred to as a thin strip or material, then this strip or material has a thickness (perpendicular to plane E, or parallel to the z-axis) that is less than 5 mm, and preferably thinner than 3 mm.

The devices 5 of the invention include in all

Embodiments in addition to the first web 6, a second path 40, which also extends parallel to the longitudinal axis x.

This second web 40 runs along a longitudinal edge 6.1 of the first material web 6, as can be seen in FIG. 1B. The second track 40 may be flush with the longitudinal edge 6.1 in all embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1B, IC, 2A, 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D, 3E and 3F, or it may extend slightly above the longitudinal edge 6.1 as shown in FIG 2B, or it may extend slightly below the longitudinal edge 6.1, as indicated in FIG.

The second track 40 may in all embodiments be arranged on and connected to a side surface 6.3, 6.4 of the first track 6 in order to define a first strip-shaped zone ZI of the device 5. The first strip-shaped zone ZI is characterized in FIGS. 1B, 2A, 2B, 3A to 3F by a curly bracket. In the figures, only embodiments are shown in which the second web 40 is connected flat to the front 6.3 of the first web 6. However, in all embodiments, the second track 40 can also be connected in a planar manner to the rear side 6.4 of the first track 6, or both a track 40 on the front side 6.3 and a further track on the rear side 6.4 can be arranged.

The following aspect is important in the context of the second web 40. The fact that the second web 40 is connected to the elastic base material of the first web 6, the elasticity, or the extensibility of the first web 6 is significantly reduced. The first web 6 is thus stiffened by the connection with the second web 40 in the region of the first strip-shaped zone ZI, as far as the transverse and longitudinal extensibility is concerned.

Two different approaches with respect to the second material web 40 will be described by way of example with reference to FIGS. 2A and 2B.

In Fig. 2A, an embodiment is shown in which the material of the second web 40 is intimately connected to the base material of the first web 6. 2A, it is shown in schematic form that the first web 6 may have an open (surface) structure (e.g., a mesh, net, web, nonwoven, or fibrous structure). If now the material of the second web 40 is applied in liquid form, then this material penetrates (depending on the viscosity) into spaces, holes, pores or meshes of the first web 6. This effect is illustrated in FIG. 2A in purely schematic form. This type of connection is referred to here as an intimate connection.

An embodiment according to Fig. 2A may e.g. be prepared by reacting butyl (e.g.

Fassschmelzanlage) in viscous form in the range ZI on the first web 6 is applied. The result is an intimate connection, which, after curing, the first path 6 in the zone ZI takes the stretchability. Analogously, also strip material can be applied.

In Fig. 2B an embodiment is shown in which the material of the second web 40 is e.g. is connected by means of an adhesive 43 with the base material of the first web 6. FIG. 2B again shows in schematic form that the first web 6 may have an open structure, as already mentioned. The adhesive 43 penetrates, depending on the selected

Texture of the adhesive 43, not or hardly in the first track 6 a. This is a sandwich-like connection. Nevertheless, this makes the zone ZI quasi dimensionally stable.

In an embodiment according to Fig. 2B, the material of the second web 40 may be e.g. to act a foam, which is used as a sound decoupling between the

Sanitary device 1 and the wall or the floor 2 can serve.

It is further indicated in FIGS. 2A and 2B that an optional protective film or protective paper 41 can be used to protect the second web 40 temporarily (until the time of assembly). The use of an optional protective film or sheet 41 makes sense above all when the web 40 comprises an adhesive material (e.g., butyl) or when the web 40 is covered with an adhesive 42 (see Fig. 2B). Also shown in Fig. 1A is a short section of an optional protective film or sheet 41.

The devices 5 of the invention include in all

Embodiments in addition to the first web 6 and the second web 40, a second strip-shaped region, which is designated by the reference numeral Z3. This second strip-shaped region Z3 is provided / defined directly on the first web 6.

The second strip-shaped region Z3 in all embodiments again extends parallel to the x-axis. In addition, it has a transverse extent, width b2 in Fig. 1B, which is perpendicular to the x-axis.

The second strip-shaped region Z3 can at all

Embodiments may start immediately above the second web 40, as shown in FIG. 1B, or may be a small distance from the second web 40. However, it is also possible in all embodiments that the second strip-shaped region Z3 and the second path 40 overlap to a certain extent, as indicated in FIG. 3A.

In order to understand the meaning and purpose of this second strip-shaped region Z3, the situation in the assembled state will be briefly discussed below. In this context, reference is made in particular to FIG. 4. In this figure, an exemplary installation situation is shown in an exploded view.

The device 5 is, as already mentioned, especially designed to create a transition between a permanently mounted device 1 (here a bathtub) and an on-site surface 2 (here a vertical wall section 2). The device 5 comprises the first web 6 which extends as a web along a longitudinal axis Lx, e.g. Fig. 1A can be seen. The longitudinal axis Lx is perpendicular to the plane of the Fig. 4th

In the embodiment shown, the first track 6 is designed to be arranged wall-parallel in the assembled state, as shown in FIG. 4. The first web 6 is connected to the wall 2 in a strip-shaped region Z2 (see FIG. 1A). In Fig. 4, a liquid seal or sealing slurry 4 is shown by two dotted lines. The liquid seal or sealing slurry 4 can be applied to the front of the wall 2 before the first web 6 is inserted with its strip-shaped region Z2 in the liquid seal or sealing slurry 4. Then, in order to improve the adhesion and sealing effect, another layer of the liquid seal or the sealing slurry 4 can be applied over the strip-shaped region Z2. This type of connection is referred to herein as embedding, since preferably in the area Z2 both sides of the first web 6 are intimately connected to the liquid seal or the sealing slurry 4. If the first web 6 is open / continuous (e.g., by providing cutouts or if the base material has open mesh, mesh, mesh, or fabric areas), then the base material can be penetrated by the liquid seal or sealing slurry 4.

Thus, during assembly in the zone Z2, a stiffening of the originally elastic material of the first web 6 occurs.

According to the invention, the use of the protective layer 20 defines the stretch zone DZ either in that the extensibility of the elastic base material or of the first web 6 after assembly, i. after the creation of the transition between a sanitary device 1 and a surface 2, is maintained, or that the extensibility of the elastic base material, respectively the first web 6, when creating the transition is temporarily limited, however, when a lateral force in the assembled state is available ,

In Fig. 4 is indicated that in a wet or

Wet area 100 mostly tiles 7 or another wall covering laid on the room side. FIG. 4 shows schematically that a tile adhesive or mortar 8 can be used. Since the tile adhesive or mortar 8 is typically drawn off with a toothed spatula, the tile adhesive or mortar 8 in FIG. 4 has a correspondingly structured surface on the room side. Also, the mentioned tile adhesive or mortar 8 can penetrate up to the base material of the first web 6. If this is the case, the first web 6 is additionally stiffened in zone Z2.

The statement made above also applies to other forms of assembly in which the first web 6 in the region of the zone Z2. is not embedded in a liquid seal or sealing slurry.

The first web 6 may also be bonded to a face 2 adhesive in all embodiments, or a separate strip of material (eg, adhesive tape) may be applied to overlap the zone Z2 to surround the web 6 with the face 2 connect.

Finally, the first web 6 in zone Z2 will lose its elasticity at the latest during assembly. This is independent of the used assembly or

Connection technology.

At this point, the invention begins. By attaching or providing a protective strip, a protective layer or protection zone 20, either the extensibility of the first web 6 during and after assembly is obtained, or the first web 6 is covered or protected in the strip-shaped region Z3 in such a way that the extensibility in the occurrence of Transverse forces (in the case of subsidence movements) can be effective, even if it was temporarily impaired (eg due to careless or inappropriate assembly).

Three approaches are described here, all of which serve the "protection" respectively the "definition" of the expansion zone DZ. The approaches described below in connection with FIGS. 3A to 3C can be used in conjunction or in combination with all other variants of the invention.

Fig. 3A shows an approach based on the use of a

Pressure-sensitive adhesive 22 is based. This pressure-sensitive adhesive 22 serves as

Protective strip or protective layer of the expansion zone DZ. As can be seen in FIG. 3A, this pressure-sensitive adhesive 22 may optionally extend slightly below the second web 40. The adhesive 43 of the second web 40 therefore does not extend along the entire width bl (see FIG. 1B) of the material web 40.

The pressure-sensitive adhesive 22 has a composition which has a low adhesion in all the respective embodiments. As a result, both the Anhänguhg on the front 6.3 of the first track 6 and the connection with liquid seal 4, sealing slurry 4, tile adhesive or mortar 8 is not particularly strong. As soon as transverse forces occur, either the liquid seal 4, sealing slurry 4, the tile adhesive or mortar 8 will come off the pressure-sensitive adhesive 22, or the pressure-sensitive adhesive 22 will detach on its back from the first web 6. In any event, it will become necessary the elastic base material of the web 6 is released and the first web 6 can stretch at least in the transverse direction. The use of such a pressure-sensitive adhesive 22 leads to the temporary reduction of the extensibility of the elastic base material in the region of the expansion zone DZ.

As a pressure-sensitive adhesive, which is also referred to as a temporary adhesive, as a non-permanent adhesive or as a removable adhesive, in all embodiments, e.g. an acrylate-based or rubber-based adhesive.

Preferably, the pressure-sensitive adhesive, which is used according to the invention in all embodiments, a low shear strength, since it should replace peel off when occurring lateral forces.

Preferably, the pressure-sensitive adhesive used in all embodiments according to the invention has an adhesion capacity which is lower than the cohesive strength, so that the adhesion decreases when transverse forces occur.

FIG. 3B (as well as FIG. 1C) shows an approach based on the use of a flexible strip of material 21 (e.g., a foil, a cut protection strip, or an adhesive strip) which temporarily adheres to the first web 6 by means of a pressure sensitive adhesive 22. FIG. Again, the use of such a pressure sensitive adhesive 22 together with the flexible material strip 21 for temporary reduction or even cancellation of the elasticity of the elastic base material in the region of the expansion zone DZ. As soon as it comes to shear forces, either the

Liquid seal 4, sealing slurry 4, the tile adhesive or ..... mortar 8 from the flexible strip of material 21 replace, or the pressure-sensitive adhesive 22 dissolves between the flexible

Material strip 21 and the first web. 6

Fig. 3C shows an approach based on the use of a

Impregnation 23 is based. As impregnation 23, a material or combination of materials is selected which on the one hand connects to the first web 6, but which on the other hand, however, reduces the adhesion to liquid seal 4, sealing slurry 4, tile adhesive and mortar 8.

In all embodiments, a non-stick coating can be used as the impregnation 23, wherein the

Non-stick properties are selected to be effective in the liquid seal 4, sealing slurry 4, tile adhesive and mortar 8 to be used.

Particularly suitable is an impregnation 23 based on silicone or Teflon. Also suitable are fatty impregnations 23.

Particularly suitable are impregnations 23 which can be applied in liquid form so as to define zone Z3, but which harden or dry after application without losing its anti-sticking properties.

Further modifications of the invention are shown in FIGS. 3D to 3F and will be described only briefly below. Otherwise, the description of FIGS. 3A to 3C can also be applied to FIGS. 3D to 3F.

Fig. 3D shows an approach based on the use of a flexible strip of material 21 (e.g.

Cut protection strip or an adhesive strip) which temporarily adheres to the first web 6 by means of a pressure-sensitive adhesive 22 (analogously to FIG. 3B). In addition, a cut protection strip 24 is arranged in front of the material strip 21 on the room side, which in the case of FIG. 3D is connected to the strip 6 by means of an adhesive 25. The expansion zone DZ is here protected or defined by the combination of material strips 21 and cut protection strips 24.

3E shows another approach based on the use of a flexible strip of material 21 (eg a foil, a cut protection strip or an adhesive strip) which temporarily adheres to the first web 6 by means of a pressure sensitive adhesive 22 (analogous to FIGS. 3B and 3D). , In addition, a cut protection strip 24 is arranged in front of the material strip 21 on the room side, but here it is not connected / glued to the first web 6. The cut protection strip 24 is inserted here into a longitudinal gap, which results between the first web 6 and the second web 40. Since the cut protective strip 24 has a certain inherent rigidity, it can easily be inserted during assembly. This constellation is a standing constellation. The expansion zone DZ is here by the

Combined material strip 21 and cut protection strip 24 protected, or defined.

FIG. 3F shows a further approach based on the use of a flexible strip of material 21 (eg a foil, a cut protection strip or an adhesive strip), which temporarily adheres to the first web 6 by means of a pressure-sensitive adhesive 22 (analogous to FIGS. 3B and 3D). , In addition, a cut protection strip 24 is arranged in front of the material strip 21 on the room side (as in FIG. 3E), but here it is not connected / glued to the first web 6. Of the

Cut protection strip 24 is here inserted into a longitudinal slot or pocket 44 provided on the second panel 40, as shown. The expansion zone DZ is here by the combination of strips of material 21 and

Cut protection strip 24 protected, or defined.
