DE1609316C - Connection part made of a thin, elastic material, e.g. sheet metal, for fastening ceiling panels - Google Patents

Description

The invention relates to a connecting part made of a thin, elastic material, e.g. B. sheet metal, for Fastening ceiling panels, in particular acoustic panels, to T-shaped support rails, consisting of a clamping part for clamping to the flange of a mounting rail, a holding part for fastening of the ceiling panels and a web arranged between the clamping part and the holding part, wherein the Holding part of in two mutually parallel planes, in one direction and perpendicular to the web Retaining tabs is formed while the clamping part is composed of several clamping tabs is, which are alternately bent away from the web in the opposite direction, so that the Clamping part has a substantially U-shaped view.

Connecting parts of this type have the disadvantage that when replacing the ceiling panels Ceiling panels cannot simply be pulled downwards. Namely to the connecting part To be able to unhook the support rail is a thin tool, e.g. B. a spatula, required between the joints of two adjacent ceiling panels can be pushed and with which the clamping part of the connecting part is curved to the side. This will make the connector so around the axis the retaining rail folded so that a removal of the corresponding ceiling panels is easily possible is: However, by folding the connecting part away from the holding rail, the holding part also pivoted and thereby the ceiling plate is damaged.

The invention is based on the object of designing a connecting part of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that that the ceiling panels can be pulled down quickly and without damage.

This object is achieved according to the invention in that each clamping lug up in the area of the Web is extended and at its branching off from the web first to the other side of the web axis is curved than its end intended for clamping and that at least every other end extended into the web Clamping tab part "is provided with a tongue, the free end of which is directed downwards and in the view with the respective adjacent clamping bracket parts crossed over.

ίο With such a design of the connection

... partly by inserting a thin tool, e.g. B. a spatula, achieved that the clamping tab parts parallel to the direction of the inserted tool, causing the ends of the Clamping part are pressed apart and the retaining rail is released from the clamping part the tool can only be inserted parallel to the side surfaces of the ceiling tiles and not twisted must, the ceiling tiles are not loosened when

ao harms.

The connecting part according to the invention can optionally also be used for fastening wall panels be used.

An embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawing and explained below. It show

Fig. 1 and la a cross section through a part a ceiling cladding,

F i g. 2 shows the top view of the ceiling cladding according to FIGS. 1 and

F i g. 3, 3 a and 3 b the connecting part in different views.

The connecting part 1 consists of a clamping part 4 for clamping to the flange of a support rail 11, a holding part 3 for fastening the ceiling panels 10 and a web arranged between the clamping part and the holding part, the holding part 3 from in two mutually parallel planes in one direction and holding tabs 3 a, 3 b extending perpendicular to the web is formed. The clamping part 4 is composed of several clamping lugs which are alternately bent away from the web in the opposite direction. As a result, the clamping part 4 has a substantially U-shaped appearance. The clamping lugs are extended into the region of the web, whereby they are bent at its diversion from the web initially to the other side of the web axis her as to clamp specific end 4a, Ab. Each is α in the web elongated terminal tab portion 2 with a tongue 2 d , the free end of which is directed downwards and crosses in the view with the respective adjacent clamping lug parts 2 b.

To release the connecting part 1, a spatula 12 is preferably inserted into the joint of the adjacent ceiling panels 10, as can be seen from FIG. La. The tongue 2 d is grasped by the spatula plate and, together with the angled clamping tab parts 2 a, 2 b , is straightened, ie parallel to the spatula plate, in such a way that the ends 4 a, 4 b are pushed apart, thereby releasing the previously clasped support rail 11.

For easier attachment of the connecting part 1 to the holding rail 11, the ends 4 a, 4 b of the same diverge from each other, so that when the connecting part 1 is pressed against the holding rail 11, the two parts automatically snap into place.

Claims (1)

. : Claim: Connecting part made of a thin, elastic material, e.g. B. sheet metal for attaching ceiling panels, in particular acoustic panels, to T-shaped support rails, consisting of a clamping part for clamping to the flange of a support rail, a holding part for fastening the ceiling panels and a web arranged between the clamp and the holding part, wherein the Holding part is formed by holding tabs running in two mutually parallel planes in one direction and perpendicular to the web, while the clamping part is composed of several clamping tabs which are alternately bent away from the web in opposite directions, so that the clamping part is essentially a U-shaped view has, characterized in that each clamp is extended into the area of the web and at its branching off from the web is initially bent to the other side of the web axis than its end intended for clamping (4 λ, 4 b) and that at least every second in the web extended clamping tab part (2 a) is provided with a tongue (2 a ') , the free end of which is directed downwards and crosses in the view with the respective adjacent clamping lug parts (2 b).
