Description

C vering device for floor c 1. Field of the invention The invention relates to a covering device for floor coverings with a pr filed cover, which is provided with a footing for fastening the pr filed cover in a floor bracket and a covering flange that protrudes from this footing on both sides, and with an pti naI pr filed compensation element that can be attached to the covering flange by means of a form-fitting tongue and groove joint.
2. Description of the prior art In order to adjust the height of a pr filed cover to match the height of different floor eIements, where said cover is inserted into a floor track in the gap be-tween two floor elements by means of a footing and verlaps the floor elements on both sides of the gap by means of a covering flange protruding bilaterally from the footing, it has aIready been proposed (WO 03/04092 AI) that a pr filed compensation eIement be attached to the underside of the covering flange to mate Wth the pr filed cover on the side of the I wer floor elernent. For this purpose, the pr filed compensation eIement is provided with an undercut groove, into which a tongue on the underside of the covering flange engages in a form fitting manner, with said tongue being parallel to the footing of the pr -filed cover. The main disadvantage of this known covering device for floor cov-erings is that the pr filed cover can nly be used as a cover for an expansion joint between two floor elements of egual height without the pr filed compensa-tion element when the tongue projecting from the underside of the covering flange is removed in a special operation beforehand.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Consequently, the object of the invention is to design a covering device for floor coverings of the type described above in such a way that a standard pr filed cover suitable for bridging the expansion joints between two floor elements of equal height can be combined with a profiled compensation element in a simple way in order to bridge the step between two floor elements of different heights or to be able to sea0 the edge of a floor covering.

The invention fuifils this aim by virtue of the fact that the profiled compensation element forms a grooved seat for one of the free longitudinal edges of the c v-ering flange for the tongue and groove joint.

As the connection between the profiled compensation element and the profiled cover is not on the underside of the covering flange, but involves one of the two longitudinal edges of the covering flange, there is no need for special measures to connect the profiled compensation element with the profiled cover to a pro-filed transition or j int element. All that is required is to press the profiled com-pensation element with its peripheral seating groove onto the longitudinal edge of the profiled cover. The overlap of the outer groove wall of the seating groove of the profiled compensation eiement over the outer side of the i ngitudinal edge of the profiled cover also results in an advantageous equalisation of toler-ance so the usual measures required to secure a common firm joint between the profiled cover and profiled compensation e@ement becomes superfluous.
Furthermore, a tongue and groove joint, where the tongue is formed by the & n gitudinai edge f a covering flange, ensures simple structural relationships which permit the pr fised covers and the profiled compensation elements to be designed as extruded profiles, resulting in favourable manufacturing conditions by means of extrusion.

If larger loads are anticipated on a device bridging a floor step or trimming a floor covering, the profiled compensation element can be provided with at least one supporting leg on the inner side facing the footing of the profiled cover for transferring part of the 9oad. EssentiaO9y, there are two different support options for the supporting leg, nameBy on the profiled cover or on the fl r, 41VhiGe the supporting leg is d'orected toward the floor in the case of support on the floor side, if the supporting leg is supported on the profiled cover it can engage with a retaining recess on the underside of the covering flange or of the footing of the profiled cover. In both cases, the profiled compensation element gripping around the 9 cgitudinaD edge of the profiled cover can be sufficiently supported to resist load-related torque.

Simply seating the i ngitudinai edge of the covering flange in the seating groove of the profiled compensation element includes the p ssibility of unin-tended relative movement between the profiled compensation eOement and the covering flange perpendicular to its longitudinal edge, To secure this tongue and groove joint, the covering flange of the profiled cover on one side in the area of the longitudinal edge engaging in the grooved seat can be provided with a retaining recess for a retaining lug in the area of the edge of the corre-sponding wall of the grooved seat of the profiled compensation e&ement. This measure provides an additional, snap-fit type engaging retaining connection for preventing the unintentional release of the tongue and groove joint.

The drawing iilustrates embodiments of the invention. In the drawing Fig, I shows a covering device for floor coverings in accordance with the in-vention in a simplified cross-section and Fig. 2 to 4 show representations corresponding with Fig. 1 f different em-bodiments of the covering device in accordance with the invention.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EiUiB iMENTS
The profiled cover 1 f the covering device shown in various embodiments is provided with a footing 2 consisting of two clamping webs 3 extending I ngitu-dinai9y with respect to the profiled element and a covering flange 4 extending on both sides of the footing. The profiled cover 1, together with the cfiamping webs 3 f the footing 2, is placed into a floor bracket 5 in the form of a floor track in the embodiments, indicated by dash-dotted lines, and on at least one side it laps over a floor element 6 with its covering flange 4, if the profiled floor element 1 is employed to bridge an expansion joint between two floor elements of equal height, the covering flange 4 iaps over the floor eDements 6 extending on both sides of the expansion joint. However, if a difference in height must be bridged in accordance with the embodiments, a profiled compensation element 7 can be connected to the profiled cover 1. This profiled compensation element 7acc mrn dates the I ngitudina0 edge 3 f the covering flange 4 of the profiled floor element I in a grooved seat 9, producing a tongue and groove joint be-tween the profiled compensation element 7 and the covering flange 4 f the profiled floor element 1, without having to make provision for a special tongue on the covering flange 4. This means a considerable simplification in terms of construction, because standard profiled covers can be used. To prevent the tongue and groove joint from releasing unintentionally, in the area of the longi-tudinal edge 3engaging with the grooved seat 9, the covering flange 4 of the profiled cover can be provided with a retaining recess 10 for a retaining iug in the area of the edge of the corresponding wall of the grooved seat 9 f the profiled compensation element 7. As the covering flange 4 of the profiled cov-ers is often provided with grooves to improve its anti-slip qualities, these grooves can be utilised for the engagement of the tongue and groove joint, as shown in Fig. 1, 2 and 4.

While Fig. 1sh ws a simple profiled compensation element 7 that simply ex-tends the i ngitudinal edge 3 f the covering flange 1[sico] downward, the pro-filed compensation element 7 in accordance with Fig. 2 is provided with an ad-ditional supporting leg 12 directed toward the floor such that the forces experi-enced when the covering device is subjected to a load can be transferred into the floor better. Such a supp rting leg 12 can aIs be supported on the pr filed cover 1 in accordance with Fig. 4, for instance in a retaining recess 13 on the underside of the covering flange 4.

Apart from the fact that the emb diment in accordance with Fig. 3sh ws a pr filed compensation elerraent 7with two supp rting Iegs 12, one of which ex-tends towards the floor and the other toward the footing 2, the supp rting Ieg extending toward the footing 2 is supported in retaining recesses 14 in the I
n-gitudinal webs 3, with the retaining recesses 14 not necessarily having to take the form of a continuous retaining groove, but p ssibly having the form of single retaining h les, which rules out the I ngitudinal displacement of the pr filed compensation eIement 7 with respect to the pr filed cover 1.
