It can be provided that at least one two-part column is provided with at least one second connector, wherein the two half-columns of the two-part column mentioned are each provided with at least one side groove, which extends along the respective column axis with a constant groove cross-sectional shape, wherein the second connector mentioned is fixedly connected to the two side grooves, wherein the two side grooves are each associated with the other half-column of the two half-columns mentioned. The mentioned groove cross-sectional shape is preferably T-shaped. The two side recesses preferably point in the same direction, and the second connector is fixedly connected to the two side recesses. By means of the second connector, a particularly high two-part column can be realized.

Furthermore, a base for use as a component of a partition according to the invention is claimed, wherein the base is configured in the form of a U with a base and two U-shaped legs, wherein the U-shaped legs extend parallel to the column axis, such that a column can be received between the two U-shaped legs, wherein the base protrudes beyond the two U-shaped legs on two opposite sides perpendicularly to the column axis with a fastening projection, respectively, wherein the two fastening projections each have a first perforation through which the base can be fastened to a foundation, wherein the two U-shaped legs each have two second perforations on which a half column can be fastened, respectively. The base is preferably designed symmetrically such that when the base is turned 180 ° about the column axis, the same base is produced again. The two second perforations of the U-shaped leg are preferably arranged spaced apart transversely to the column axis. Preferably, the two U-shaped legs each have a third perforation that is positioned and shaped to match a one-piece post receivable between the U-shaped legs. The U-shaped legs preferably extend parallel to the column axis in a constant, substantially rectangular cross-sectional shape.

Provision can be made for a joint projection and a joint recess to be arranged on at least one U-shaped leg, wherein the joint projection is formed by a cylinder extending parallel to the column axis, wherein the joint recess is matched to the joint projection in such a way that a pivot joint is produced when the joint projection of one base rests against the joint recess of the other base. The joint projection is preferably formed integrally with the associated U-leg. By means of the joint projection and joint recess, the fold shown in fig. 1 can be installed in the spacer in a simple manner.

It is also possible to position the second base on the foundation in advance, wherein the diaphragm module is fastened to the first and second base in the region of steps c) and d). The last-mentioned alternative is preferred because the partition module can be packaged more easily and in a more space-saving manner. In the first-mentioned alternative, the (second) base projects from the remaining diaphragm module in a disadvantageous manner. The first base to be installed first is called the starting base within the scope of the present application.

It can be provided that the first and/or second connector is fastened to the two-part column immediately after the two halves of the two-part column have been fastened to the associated base.

Detailed Description

Fig. 1 shows a perspective view of a partition 10 according to the invention. The use of the illustrated spacer 10 should illustrate as many design possibilities as are possible within the scope of the invention. The diaphragm 10 thus comprises a two-piece post 14, which consists of two half posts (reference numeral 22 in fig. 2). Furthermore, one-piece posts 15, 17 are provided, which are formed from an integral square aluminum extrusion and which can be known from web pages callable under the following links at 10.7 of 2022:

https://www.boschrexroth.com/de/de/produkte/produktgruppen/monta getechnik/mechanik-grundelemente/schutzeinrichtungen-und-trennwande-ecosafe. The columns 15 form, for example, 90 ° corners of the partition 10, wherein the inventive half-columns are fastened to known square-shaped columns 17. All the columns 14, 15, 17 are provided at their lower ends 83 with a base 30, which is shown in more detail in fig. 3, wherein the columns are fixedly connected to the foundation 11 via this base.

Two adjacent two-part columns 14 or two corresponding adjacent half-columns (reference numeral 22 in fig. 2) are fixedly connected to one another by means of upper and lower cross-members 23, 24, wherein for this purpose, for example, a central screw channel (reference numeral 58 in fig. 4) and a first side recess (reference numeral 56a in fig. 4) of the half-columns are used.

In each rectangle delimited by two half-columns (reference numeral 22 in fig. 2) and an upper and a lower cross-beam 23, 24, respectively, a planar separating element 12 is currently received, which completely fills the relevant rectangle (relative to the illustration in fig. 1). The planar separating element 12 is produced here as a grid, wherein it can also be produced as a flat plate with a constant thickness.

In the region of the fold 16 of the partition 10, two-part columns 14 are arranged next to one another, wherein the respective base 30 is in contact with a joint projection (reference numeral 45 in fig. 3) and with a joint recess (reference numeral 46 in fig. 3). Thereby creating a defined gap between the two posts 14 of the fold 16.

It is also noted that the sliding door 80 and the pivoting door 81 are made in accordance with the aforementioned internet links.

Fig. 2 shows a perspective partial view of the partition 10 according to fig. 1, wherein the view direction in fig. 1 is depicted. It can be seen that the column 14 consists of two half-columns 22 which abut against each other transversely to the column axis 21. The two half-columns 22 are each manufactured from aluminum in an extrusion process, wherein both have a constant cross-sectional shape as shown in fig. 4. They are mounted in such a way that they are pivoted 180 deg. relative to each other, so that the two slots 53 for receiving the planar separation element 12 are directed in opposite directions.

In fig. 2, the partition 10 is shown such that the underside of the base 30 lying on the foundation (11 in fig. 1) can be seen. The base 30 is generally U-shaped in configuration with a base 33 and two U-shaped legs 34. The two-part post 14 is received between two U-shaped legs 34, wherein the post is screwed together with one of the two U-shaped legs 34 as explained below. For this threaded connection, a second side groove (reference 56b in fig. 4) of the half-post 22 is used, in which groove a slider is received. The associated fastening bolts pass through the respectively associated second bores 42 in the U-shaped leg 34. On the other U-shaped leg 34, each half post 22 is secured with a self-tapping screw. For this purpose, two circular auxiliary perforations (47 in fig. 3) are provided.

The base 33 comprises two fastening protrusions 35 protruding beyond the U-shaped leg 34 transversely to the column axis 21. These fastening projections are each provided with a flat bearing surface 36 which lies directly on the foundation (11 in fig. 1). In the region of the column 14, the base 30 is provided with a recess 37, so that the base is arranged there spaced apart from a generally planar foundation. This is achieved in that the base rests on the ground in the region of the fastening bolts which pass through the respectively associated first bores 41 in the fastening projections 35.

Fig. 2 also shows the lower cross member 24, which is fixedly connected to the associated half-column 22. The lower cross member is likewise manufactured from aluminum by extrusion, wherein the lower cross member has the same cross-sectional shape as the half post 22. In contrast, the planar separating element 12 can be held directly in the half-column 22 and the upper transverse beam (23 in fig. 1) and the lower transverse beam 24 by the groove 53 over its entire circumference.

Fig. 3 shows a perspective view of a base 30 according to the invention. The base 30 is formed in one piece, wherein it is produced, for example, from zinc in a casting process. It is designed symmetrically such that when the base 30 is turned 180 ° about the column axis 21, the same base 30 is obtained. Thereby avoiding errors in the installation of the base 30.

The base 30 is generally U-shaped, with reference to the details already explained with respect to fig. 2. The two U-shaped legs 34 each extend parallel to the column axis 21 in a substantially rectangular cross-sectional shape. The U-shaped legs are provided with joint protrusions 45 and joint recesses 46, respectively. The articulation projection 45 is configured as a cylinder which is oriented parallel to the column axis 21. The joint recess 46 is matched to the joint projection 45 in such a way that a pivot joint with a small play is produced when the joint projection 45 is placed against the joint recess 46 of the adjacent base 30. In this way, a fold, designated in fig. 1 by reference numeral 16, can be realized in the partition, wherein the two columns are arranged next to one another at a defined small distance.

The second and third bores 42, 43 in the U-shaped leg 34 are each formed as a slot, which is elongated in the direction of the column axis 21. The second bores 42 are each provided with a cylindrical auxiliary bore 47, which is arranged in alignment with the associated second bore 42 in the direction of the column axis 21. A self-tapping screw can be screwed into the auxiliary bore 47, which screw is embedded in the directional groove (59 in fig. 4) of the half-post. Further, the following is considered: the half-post is provided with a second side groove (56 b in fig. 4) on only one side, which cooperates with the second perforation 42. The auxiliary perforation 47 can increase the rigidity of the fastening of the half-column to the base 30. In particular, the bending moment which is generated when a transverse force oriented perpendicular to the plane of the separating element acts on the half-column is to be pointed out here. This bending moment is borne in one direction by the threaded connection at the second bore 42, wherein the bending moment is borne in the opposite direction by the self-tapping screw in the auxiliary bore 47.

Furthermore, it is pointed out that the orientation projections 44 extend from the base 33 in the direction of the column axis 21. The two orientation protrusions 44a are respectively embedded in a threaded passage (reference numeral 58 in fig. 4) in the center of the half-post so as to orient it with respect to the base 30. In a similar manner, the orientation protrusion 44b is embedded in the threaded passage of the center of the one-piece post. In the case of a two-piece post, the orientation protrusion has no function because a third side groove (reference numeral 56c in fig. 4) is present at the relevant location. Instead, the one-piece column also has free space in the region of the orientation projection 44 a.

Fig. 4 shows a cross section of the half-column 22, wherein this cross section shape 50 is preferably also used on the upper and lower cross beams 23, 34. The outer contour of the cross-sectional shape 50 is rectangular in shape with rounded corners. The longer rectangular edge 52 is here just twice as long as the shorter rectangular edge 51, so that a square column is produced when the two half-columns 22 are brought into abutment with one another on the edge designated by reference numeral 84 in order to form a two-part column. The two half-posts 22 are oriented in this case in such a way that the two grooves 53 for receiving the planar separating element (12 in fig. 1) are arranged in alignment, wherein they point in opposite directions.

The groove 53 is preferably made according to EP 918121B 2. Their parallel side walls 54 are correspondingly provided with a sawtooth profile which makes the pulling out of the planar separating element from the groove 53 difficult. The mentioned side walls 54 are oriented parallel to the shorter rectangular sides 51, wherein the grooves 53 are arranged on the outer edges of the cross-sectional shape.

The remaining three outer edges of the cross-sectional shape are each provided with a side groove 56. The corresponding groove cross-sectional shape 57 is T-shaped in a known manner so that it can receive a slider and/or a crosshead bolt. The upper and lower cross members (23, 24 in fig. 1) can be fastened in particular to the half-column 22 by means of first side grooves 56a directed towards the open side of the groove 53. The central threaded channel is preferably used for this fastening on the upper or lower cross member. The base (30 in fig. 2) can be fastened in particular to the half-post 22 by means of a second side groove 56b which is directed toward the short rectangular edge 51 opposite the groove 53. By means of the third side recess 56c, which is directed toward the long rectangular side 52 opposite the first side recess 56a, in particular the first connector shown in fig. 5 can be fitted with its third projection (63 in fig. 5).

It will be apparent that a third side groove 56c is also used at other locations for connecting the two half-posts 22 of the two-piece post. The second connector according to fig. 6 can be mounted more easily.

The current cross-sectional shape 50 is low distortion in aluminum extrusion and material-saving manufacturing is optimized. It has a wall thickness that is as constant as possible throughout, wherein a cavity is provided inside.

Fig. 5 shows a perspective view of the first connector 60 from an associated two-part column. The first connector 60 is mounted on the upper end of a two-part column, wherein it is inserted with its projections 61, 62, 63 into its cavity at the end side. The first connector 60 is formed in one piece, wherein it is preferably manufactured from zinc in a die casting process. It can also be produced from plastics, for example from polyamides, by injection molding of plastics. The first connector 60 has a plate section 64 that is substantially fabricated as a flat plate having a constant thickness. The square contour of the plate section 64 is formed in alignment with the contour of the two-part column, viewed in cross section, so that its end faces are completely closed, while the first connector 60 does not protrude laterally beyond the two-part column.

The first, second and third protrusions 61, 62, 63 protrude from the plate section 64 in the direction of the column axis (reference numeral 21 in fig. 2). The first and second projections 61, 62 are identical to one another, wherein they match the second side recesses (56 b in fig. 4) of the two half-columns of the two-part column. In contrast, they each have a T-shaped cross-sectional shape. Furthermore, they are each provided with a threaded bore 65. The screws can be screwed into these threaded bores with conical tips, wherein the tips are embedded in the associated half-posts for fixing the first connector there.

The third projection 63 is formed in a double T-shape such that it engages simultaneously in a third side recess (56 c in fig. 4) of the two half-columns of the two-part column.

Fig. 6 shows a perspective partial view of the spacer 10 in the region of the second connector 70. The second connector 70 is preferably used when using a very tall two-piece post 14. It is preferably arranged centrally between the base and the first connector.

The second connector 70 is preferably manufactured from a sheet material, i.e. from a flat plate with a constant thickness, most preferably from aluminium, in particular from pre-anodized aluminium. The plate section 73 has a rectangular contour, from which a total of four rectangular guide lugs 71 protrude, which are bent by 90 ° relative to the plate section 73. The orientation lugs 71 each sink into the associated second side recess 56b on one of the two half-columns 22.

Furthermore, the plate section 73 is penetrated by two bolts 72, preferably embodied as countersunk screws, wherein the bolts 72 are each screwed into a slide which is received in the associated second side recess 56b and engages the latter from behind, so that the second connector 70 is firmly screwed together with the two half-posts 22 of the two-part post 14 by means of the bolts 72.

Fig. 7 shows a rough schematic of a first installation step of the partition according to the invention. Here, the two bases 30 required for mounting the first partition module (13 in fig. 8) are positioned on the foundation, wherein the starting base 89 of the partition on the left in fig. 7 is fastened to the foundation 11 with bolts 85. The bolt 85 penetrates a first perforation (41 in fig. 3) of the base 30, wherein the bolt is fastened in the foundation 11 by means of a wooden wedge. The foundation 11 is, for example, a concrete floor of a production plant.

The other base 30, which is shown to the right in fig. 7, is merely loosely placed on the foundation 11, so that it can also be moved during the installation of the associated partition module.

Fig. 8 shows a rough schematic of a second installation step of the spacer according to the invention. The partition module 13 according to the first embodiment shown in fig. 8 comprises planar separating elements 12 in the form of a grid, which are shown in simplified form. The planar separating element 12 is provided with two half-columns 22 and upper and lower transverse beams 23, 24, wherein the four last-mentioned components hold the planar separating element 12 directly over its entire circumference. The diaphragm modules 13 are preferably delivered in a preassembled state to the site where the diaphragm should be installed.

Starting from the state shown in fig. 7, the diaphragm module 13 is inserted into two existing bases 30, wherein the orientation is performed in particular by means of orientation projections (44 a in fig. 3) on the bases 30. The base 30 to the right in fig. 8 can also be moved slightly here, so that the entire structure is stress-free.

A half-post 87 is then installed at the beginning of the partition, which has not yet been provided with a planar separating element. The two halves 22, 87 of the two-part column 14 on the left in fig. 8 are connected at their upper ends by means of a first connector 60. The first connector 60 is merely inserted with its projections (reference numerals 61, 62, 63 in fig. 5) into the half-posts 22, 87 and preferably is not yet screwed together with the half-posts. There is preferably a slight press fit between these parts, possibly with the aid of a hammer, when mounting the first connector 60.

Fig. 9 shows a rough schematic of a third installation step of the partition according to the invention. In this case, the middle diaphragm module 13 is first installed in a similar manner to fig. 8, wherein the right diaphragm module 13 is then installed. The diaphragm is thus built up gradually so that no tensile stresses are generated.

Finally, the right-hand half column 87 in fig. 8 is installed, which has not yet been provided with a planar separating element. This half post is also mounted with the first connector 60 together with the associated other half post 22 of the two-piece post 14, similar to the left half post 87 in fig. 8. The first connector 60 is also mounted or inserted on the remaining two-piece post 14.

The bolts 86 are gradually screwed together from the starting base 89 and the associated base 30, so that no tensioning stress occurs.

Fig. 10 shows a rough schematic of a fourth and final installation step of a spacer 10 according to the invention. The first connector 60 is first screwed from the starting base 89 to the associated half-post 22. The corresponding screw 88 penetrates a threaded bore (65 in fig. 5) in the first connector 60 as explained with reference to fig. 5.

Thereafter, all further bases 30, i.e. all bases 30 except the starting base 87, are screwed together with the foundation 11. The corresponding bolts 86 are fastened in the foundation 11, for example by means of concrete screws. The threaded connection is made successively from the starting base 89 so that no tensile stresses are generated in the partition.

Fig. 11 shows a rough schematic of a diaphragm module 13' according to a second embodiment. In contrast to the spacer modules according to fig. 7 to 10, the base 30, i.e. the second base, is already fixedly screwed to the remaining spacer modules 13' in the construction direction. The foundation thus does not have to be placed and positioned separately on the foundation.

The second embodiment is economical in terms of installation costs compared to the first embodiment. The base 30 prevents packaging and transport of the partition 13', and thus the first embodiment is preferable.
