Description

The present invention relates to a wall system for cladding a wall according to the preamble of claim 1, a wall element for cladding a wall according to the preamble of claim 6 and a carrier or connector for attaching a wall element to a wall and / or for connecting adjacent wall elements.

In particular, the present invention relates to the field of renovation or partial renovation of interior spaces, in particular sanitary rooms, particularly preferably bathrooms or showers or shower cubicles.

From the DE 10 2017 002 050 A1 a wall system for sanitary rooms is known. The wall system has a wall element which is fastened to a wall by means of a rear support.

In such a system, it has hitherto been customary to form a large-area wall cladding by means of several wall elements arranged next to one another, the wall elements being connected to one another by profiles arranged in between.

In many cases, however, customers want a wall system in which the wall cladding has or forms a homogeneous surface without visible profiles arranged between wall elements. This can be realized, for example, in that two wall elements to be arranged side by side are provided with a groove or a bung at their mutually facing edges to form a wall cladding, so that the wall elements can be connected to one another by a bung. Here, however, there is the disadvantage that either the grooves or bungs have to be introduced into the wall elements on site, for example milled, or different wall elements have to be manufactured at the factory, since the wall elements on the edge of the wall cladding, unlike the other wall elements, are not on an edge must have a groove or a bung.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to specify a wall system, a wall element and a carrier or connector, wherein a wall system for cladding a wall with a homogeneous surface without visible profiles or edge transitions can be produced in a simple manner.

The above object is achieved by a wall system according to claim 1, a wall element according to claim 6 or a carrier or connector according to claim 10. Advantageous further developments are the subject of the subclaims.

A proposed wall system has a first wall element and a second wall element, a carrier or connector being attached in each case to a rear side of the wall elements that is associated with a wall. The carrier or connector is used to attach the wall element to the wall and / or to connect the wall elements to one another, in particular in a form-fitting manner.

According to a first aspect, the carrier or connector of the first wall element forms an engagement section, in particular in the form of a tongue or a bung, and the carrier or connector of the second wall element with the second wall element forms a groove for the engagement section or the carrier or Connector of the first wall element, in particular to form a tongue and groove connection or bung. By attaching the carrier or connector to the back of the wall elements or by realizing a tongue and groove connection or bunging on the back of the wall elements, the connection of the wall elements is simplified and a smooth or virtually uninterrupted surface on the front in the area of the adjacent edges of the wall elements - that is, in the area of the joint of the wall elements. Furthermore, the mounting of the supports or connectors on the rear side of the wall elements is easier, and less dirt is generated during this process than when milling a groove or a bung into an edge of a wall element on site.

According to a further aspect, which can also be implemented independently, at least one of the carriers or connectors projects beyond an edge of the wall element to which it is attached. Both supports or connectors preferably each project beyond an edge of the wall element to which they are attached. In this way, a stable or play-free connection of the wall elements or supports or connectors to one another is achieved or made possible.

According to a further aspect, which can also be implemented independently, the supports or connectors overlap when the first and second wall elements are attached to the wall or other substructure next to one another in such a way that an edge of the first wall element adjoins an edge of the second wall element or the edge of the second wall element touches. In this way, a stable connection of the wall elements or supports or connectors is achieved.

The wall elements, in particular their front sides, preferably form a smooth surface or surface in the region of their joint. In particular, the wall elements are preferably arranged in such a way that no unevenness or step is formed between the wall elements. On the one hand, this contributes to a high-quality visual appearance and, on the other hand, is hygienically advantageous, since no dirt can accumulate between the wall elements or on the step. In addition, the risk of injury when cleaning the wall elements or the wall system is minimized.

The carrier or connector of the first wall element is preferably designed similar or identical to the carrier or connector of the second wall element. This enables simple and inexpensive production and storage.

The adjacent edges of the wall elements are preferably provided with a sealing agent, in particular silicone, or connected or sealed against one another. In this way, the entry of moisture into the wall elements and / or the space between the wall elements and the wall can be prevented, so that mold formation and / or damage to the wall elements or the wall system due to the ingress of moisture is prevented.

Particularly preferably, no (visible) profile for connecting the wall elements is arranged between the wall elements or their edges. This is conducive to a uniform and high-quality optical appearance.

The joint of the wall elements (arranged next to one another) is preferably sealed by a seal which is arranged between the joint and the supports or connectors or one of the supports or connectors. In this way, the entry of moisture into a space between the wall elements and the wall can be prevented, whereby corresponding advantages are achieved. The seal can be formed, for example, by silicone or some other sealing compound.

The carriers or connectors are preferably attached to the wall or some other substructure and / or to the wall element with an adhesive. The adhesive is particularly preferably formed by a preferably double-sided adhesive tape. In this way, the carrier or connector can be attached to the wall element or the wall on site, for example by a craftsman, without damaging the wall element or the wall. In addition, by fastening the carrier or connector with an adhesive, in particular on site, a quick and inexpensive production of the wall elements is made possible.

According to a further aspect, which can also be implemented independently, the present invention relates to a wall element for cladding a wall, in particular a sanitary room, a carrier or connector for attaching the wall element to the wall or other substructure being attached to a rear side of the wall element assigned to the wall.

According to a first aspect, the carrier or connector projects beyond an edge of the wall element.

According to a further aspect, which can also be implemented independently, the carrier or connector forms an engagement section, in particular in the form of a tongue or bung, or a groove together with the wall element.

The wall element can thus be easily plugged together or connected to another wall element to form a wall cladding, in particular by means of a tongue and groove connection or bung. In particular, a connection can be made in a simple manner on edges of the wall elements that run at an angle, or a connection between wall elements with edges that run at an angle and / or not at right angles can be made in a simple manner

The carrier or connector is preferably arranged parallel to the edge of the wall element. This enables a stable connection.

The carrier or connector is preferably attached or fastened to the wall element with an adhesive, in particular with a preferably double-sided adhesive tape. The mounting of the carrier or connector on the wall element can in particular take place on site.

According to a further aspect that can also be implemented independently, the present invention relates to a carrier or connector for attaching a wall element to a wall and / or connecting two wall elements. The carrier or connector is preferably designed as a flat and, in particular, elongated profile with a first and a second section.

According to a first aspect, the second section is designed like a leg and has a smaller thickness than the first section, so that a recess is formed on a flat side of the profile in the area of the second section. In cross section, the cutout is preferably at least substantially congruent to the second section. This advantageously forms a carrier or connector which, depending on the type of attachment to a wall element or orientation relative to the wall element, can either act as a tongue or bung or form a groove together with the wall element, so that for producing a Tongue and groove connection, in particular bung, only one type of carrier or connector or profile has to be produced between two wall elements.

According to another aspect that can also be implemented independently, the second section continues from the first section in a leg-like manner transverse to a longitudinal axis of the profile, the thickness of the second section being approximately half the thickness of the first section.

The second section preferably forms an engagement section, in particular in the form of a tongue or a bung, for a tongue and groove connection or bung.

It is preferred that the second section or bung has a bevel and / or rounding or is tapered at a free end. This makes it easier to connect the wall elements or to introduce the second section or bung into an associated groove.

The thickness or maximum thickness of the first section is preferably approximately twice the thickness of the second section. The first and / or the second section (each) preferably have an at least substantially uniform or constant thickness. Because the first section is approximately twice as thick as the second section, it is achieved that two identically designed supports or connectors, which are fastened to two different wall elements to form a tongue and groove connection, have a precisely fitting or play-free connection Form tongue-and-groove connections, in particular bunging, and enable the formation of a smooth surface of the wall cladding through the front sides of the wall elements in a simple manner.

The first and second sections are preferably arranged next to one another in the direction of a longitudinal axis of the profile. More preferably, the first and second sections directly adjoin one another and / or the first and second sections merge directly into one another. This is advantageous for a simple construction or simple production of the profile.

According to a preferred embodiment, the first section has one or more, in particular arranged on two opposite flat sides of the first section, depressions for receiving fastening means, in particular adhesives, for attaching the carrier or connector to the wall and / or the wall element. As a result, the distance between the wall element and the wall can be kept as small as possible.

The carrier or connector preferably has an adhesive, in particular a preferably double-sided adhesive tape, on at least one flat side, particularly preferably on both flat sides, for fastening the carrier or connector to the wall element and / or the wall.

The first section preferably has a first flat side and a second flat side, the first and second flat sides being parallel to one another. Alternatively or additionally, the second section has a first flat side and a second flat side, the first and second flat sides being parallel to one another.

The first and second flat sides of the first section are preferably parallel to the first flat side of the second section. This enables a play-free and space-saving connection of two wall elements by means of supports or connectors arranged thereon in a simple manner.

It is particularly preferred that the first flat side of the first section and the first flat side of the second section form a common flat surface and / or lie in a common plane. This is conducive to a simple structure.

A step or shoulder is preferably formed between the second flat side of the first section and the second flat side of the second section. In this way, it can be achieved in a simple manner that a groove is formed between the carrier or connector and the wall element when the carrier or connector is appropriately attached to a wall element.

A “wall system” in the context of the present invention is to be understood in particular as a system that is attached to an existing wall or substructure or is used to clad an existing wall. The wall is preferably a vertical wall, for example a wall that delimits an interior space. However, the wall can also be a horizontally extending wall, for example a floor or a ceiling of an interior space, or have a different, for example inclined, orientation.

A “wall element” in the context of the present invention is preferably to be understood as a plate-like, panel-like and / or flat component. A wall element within the meaning of the present invention is preferably designed to cover or clad a wall, in particular over a large area.

A “carrier” or “connector” in the context of the present invention is preferably to be understood as a component by means of which a wall element can be attached or fastened to a wall. The carrier or connector is preferably designed as a profile or elongated component.

A “tongue and groove connection” is understood to mean both tongue and groove connections in the narrower sense, as well as bunging. In technical jargon, a distinction is made between a tongue and groove connection in the narrower sense and a bung. In the case of a tongue and groove connection in the narrower sense, two components to be connected to one another each have a groove, the tongue representing a third component that is inserted into the grooves in order to connect the two components to one another. In contrast to this, the term “bung” denotes a connection in which one of two components to be connected has a groove and the other has a projection that fits into the groove, which is referred to as a bung or tongue. Both types of connections are characterized by the fact that a positive connection between two components is established in that a “female” component, namely the groove, and a “male” component, namely the tongue or bung, engage in one another. In the present invention, the term “tongue and groove connection” preferably encompasses both tongue and groove connections in the narrower sense and bunging. Furthermore, the term “tongue” preferably includes both a tongue of a tongue and groove connection in the narrower sense and a bung of a bung.
