Description

A frame element, a connection element and a system with at least one frame element and at least one connection element are described. The system and frame members are for receiving wall panels which may be attached to a support structure, ceiling, floor and / or walls via the system. Wall elements do not finally comprise cell elements, partitions, etc. In particular, frame elements, connecting elements and systems with such components can be used to build, for example, cold rooms, cold rooms and / or climatic chambers. Further areas of application include rooms with high hygienic requirements.

Out DE 20 2013 103 017 U1 For example, a wall structure is known which comprises a wall cladding, a first support rail arranged on the base side, a second support rail arranged on the ceiling side, and at least one receptacle for the wall cladding which can be brought into engagement with the first and second support rail, wherein an adjustability of the relative position of the receptacle and support rail is provided. The disadvantage here, however, the great effort to provide the wall structure and the large number of components required. It must always be applied recording elements on the support rails and then their position to each other can be adjusted. This is very complicated and requires in addition a precise adjustment. Another disadvantage is that the in DE 20 2013 103 017 U1 described wall structure can not be used for cold storage, because a variety of elements are installed with very complex profiles, which is disadvantageous in terms of hygiene and insulation. Such profiles can be extremely poorly cleaned. Furthermore, there are too many heat transfer points, so that additional insulation would have to be provided.

The object is to provide a system for receiving and fastening of wall elements for the formation of the above exemplified spaces and tools for providing such a system, with requirements in terms of stability, safety, hygiene, durability and combinability are met.

The distance between the opposite side walls can also be chosen arbitrarily, but is to be determined and determined with regard to the male wall elements. For example. the distance between the opposite side walls is 80 mm, 100 mm, 120 mm or 150 mm. Accordingly, wall elements with corresponding wall thicknesses can be used. The wall thicknesses of the wall elements may for this purpose be slightly smaller than the distance between two opposite side walls. For fastening wall elements, for example, frame elements are attached via the openings and fastening elements to a floor and a ceiling. Subsequently, the wall elements can, for example, be inserted and connected via additional openings in the frame elements firmly with these. A connection can also be achieved via a clamping effect due to the flanged portions, which may have a resilient effect.

An advantage of the design of the frame elements over, for example, the construction of DE 20 2013 103 017 U1 consists in the simple design of the frame elements and therefore in their ease of manufacture. As a result, the frame elements of the technical teaching described herein are also significantly less expensive than retaining rails and receiving elements with complex profiles.

The frame member may have at least two portions which are at an angle to each other, wherein the base plates of the at least two portions lie in a plane. Such a frame member may have at different angles to each other extending portions. For example. the sections run at angles between 15 ° and 170 ° to each other.

In still other embodiments, the opposite sides of the base plate may be of different lengths. Such frame elements can be used, for example, to form corner structures, for which purpose, for example, two miter-cut frame elements are used as an alternative to a frame element with two sections running at an angle to one another. The two frame elements can form a closed receiving rail via appropriately designed connecting elements or at least one connecting element.

The side walls may also have such a height and the flange be bent such that a connecting element can be inserted into the frame element.

On at least one side of the base plate, which adjoins the opposite sides, a further side wall may be provided, which is arranged orthogonal to the base surface. Such a side wall can be provided, for example, with frame elements which are provided as a door frame or closing element in doors or other openings.
