Description

Field of the invention

The invention relates to a wall element made of salt stone, in particular the invention relates to a particular backlit salt wall, as used for salt cabins in the spa.

Background of the invention

Salt walls, in particular salt walls for the production of salt cabins are known. These consist of essentially cuboid blocks. Salt cabins are used in particular in the wellness area. For example, a cabin is being built out of salt walls, in the interior of which salty air can be inhaled. For this purpose, such a cabin usually includes a nebulizer.

For building a salt wall, adhesives can be used. In particular, polyurethane foams can be used. However, these often contain toxic substances and can lead to the wall element having to be disposed of as hazardous waste at the end of its useful life.

The utility model DE 20 2008 005 607 U1 (Matthias Pilz) shows a wall element made of salt stones, in which the salt stones are stacked in layers. Over an applied bar, which is placed under pretension, the stones can be pressed and held together without the use of adhesive. Thus, shape tolerances of the stones used can be compensated and it can be dispensed with the use of an adhesive.

From practice it is also known that the salt stones, also called salt bricks below, are provided with tongue and groove. So the salt stones can be put into each other and are positively fixed to each other. The disadvantage is that even the production of such provided with tongue and groove bricks is quite complex. In particular, by milling groove and tongue in the salt tile much material is lost. If such a system with tongue and groove at the site of the structure must be adjusted, which is often associated with the introduction of new grooves or springs, this is expensive. In particular, when milling grooves at the site of construction by means of a milling cutter or by means of an angle grinder, an enormous amount of salt dust.

Object of the invention

The invention is based on the object of the invention to reduce the disadvantages of the prior art. It is a particular object of the invention to provide a simple system for constructing a wall element made of salt bricks, in which can be dispensed with the elaborate introduction of tongue and groove joint on the stone itself.

Summary of the invention

The object of the invention is already achieved by a wall element made of salt stones according to claim 1.

Preferred embodiments and further developments of the invention can be found in the subject matter of the dependent claims, the description and the drawings.

The invention relates to a wall element made of salt stone, in particular a wall element made of rectangular salt bricks. The wall element comprises a plurality of salt stones, which are preferably stacked on each other with about half a stone offset each.

According to the invention, the salt stones comprise at least on one side at least one bore into which a pin is inserted, wherein the opposing saltstone also comprises a bore into which the pin engages. The superimposed salt stones are thus positively connected to each other via at least one pin.

It has been found that in a very simple way, a positive connection can be provided. Holes can also be introduced into the stones in a very simple manner at the site of the construction. For this purpose, a commercial drill can be used. It comes far less for the production of salt dust, as is the case when introducing grooves by means of a milling machine. In particular, a drilling machine can be operated at a much lower speed than a milling cutter or an angle grinder, whereby the formation of dust is considerably reduced.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the top and / or bottom of a salt stone at least two, preferably exactly two holes for a pin. In particular, it is provided to introduce two holes into each salt stone on one side, with which a connection to a plate or another series of salt stones is to take place. When connecting rows of salt stones, the two inserted pins engage respectively Another salt stone, because the salt stones are set on each other with a half-page offset.

In one embodiment of the invention are used as pegs dowels. It can be used in particular wooden dowels that swell due to humidity or contact with water. When building the salt wall is provided in particular that the wooden dowels are moistened. This results in a very simple way a press fit and the rows of stones are securely held together.

It has been found that with a backlight of the wall element wooden dowels are amazingly not visible.

In an alternative embodiment of the invention, a transparent pin, in particular a Plexiglas pin is used. For this purpose, in particular a tube made of Plexiglas can be used. Due to the transparency, no shadowing due to the form-locking element can be recognized even with very strong backlighting.

Preferably, the wall element is backlit.

In particular, the light is radiated in the installed state from above and / or below. Preferably, a line light, in particular an LED line light is used for this purpose. The luminaire preferably has optics in which the LEDs are each provided with a lens optic, so that a light cone is radiated from each LED. Thus, wooden dowels are hardly recognizable as shading.

For the purposes of the invention it is also envisaged that several rows of salt stones are braced and / or connected by plates. This can be done in particular by an applied bar, in particular as provided in the utility model mentioned in the introductory part of the description.

In particular, the wall element may comprise a frame. With this frame, the strips are connected, which are connected by two or more rows of salt stones form-fit on the pins with the strips. This makes it easy to set a straight wall even with salt stones with large dimensional tolerances. The strips are preferably thinner than 3 cm and are therefore not very noticeable. The strips can be made of wood or plastic, in particular of a transparent plastic.

In addition to compressed dowels, it is conceivable according to an alternative embodiment of the invention to make the bore so that the pin is inserted with play. So a slight degradation of the salt wall is conceivable. This embodiment of the invention is particularly suitable when the salt stones are held in a frame.

The salt stones are preferably formed as cuboidal bricks and are in one embodiment of the invention 150 to 250 mm wide, 30 to 70 mm deep and 50 to 150 mm high.

The wall element preferably has at least three, particularly preferably at least 5 rows, all rows being connected to one another by the positive-locking elements according to the invention.

The pins used, in particular the wooden dowels used, preferably have a diameter of 3 to 30 mm, more preferably 5 to 15 mm. Preferably, the pins are 5 to 30 mm, more preferably 8 to 15 mm high.

The invention further relates to a salt rock in the form of a cuboid salt brick, which is designed for use for the wall element according to the invention.

Preferably, the salt stone on an upper side and / or underside each have two spaced holes. These holes preferably have a diameter of also 3 to 30, more preferably from 5 to 15 mm and a depth of 5 to 30, preferably from 8 to 15 mm. It should be understood that the bores should be slightly deeper than the length of a pin to avoid the pin resting on the end of the bore.

Description of the drawings

The object of the invention will in the following reference to a schematically illustrated embodiment with reference to the drawing 1 to 3 be explained in more detail.

1 shows in a schematic view how a wall element 1 consisting of cuboid salt stones 2a to 2c is built.

Shown here are only three salt stones 2a to 2c , it being understood that a wall element according to the invention 1 consists of much more stones.

The bottom row of stones here includes the stones 2a and 2 B , which each have two spaced apart holes on the top, in the pins 3 are used in the form of wooden dowels.

Of the overlying stone row is only the stone 2c represented, which is not yet set up in this view.

The stone 2c also includes two holes 4 , which preferably have exactly the same distance as the holes in stone 2a and stone 2 B , The distance from two pins 3 therefore preferably corresponds to exactly half the stone width.

The pins designed as wooden dowels 3 are preferably moistened prior to insertion.

Then, as in 2 is shown, the next row of stones put on. The stone 2c has holes not only on its underside, but also on its top 4 to set up the next row of stones.

A salt stone 2a - 2c is preferably already supplied as a provided with holes element. In particular, the salt stone has 2a - 2c two holes on both the top and bottom 4 ,

3 shows in a schematic plan view of a wall element, wherein in each case between 1 to 10, preferably between 2 to 6 rows of salt stones 2a - 2n one plate each 5 , in particular a wooden plate, is used. The plates 5 are also provided with holes and in the same way as the salt stones 2a - 2n with pins, especially wooden dowels, with the salt stones 2a - 2n connected.

The plates 5 are in turn with a stable framework 6 , in particular a wooden frame, connected to the wall element 1 framing. Through the frame 6 are the salt stones 2a - 2n along with the plates 5 pressed.

The top and bottom row of salt stones is also over pins with the frame 6 connected.

For example, it is possible to provide salt walls as a pre-wall element, in which, in particular over a length of more than 2 m, preferably over 3 m, no central wall holder has to be present.

Next is the wall element 1 backlit. For this is about a lamp 6 , In particular, an LED line light with a lens optic that emits a cone of light, irradiated from above light. Because of the sharp angle in the salt stones 2a - 2n Incident light are wooden dowels used even as pins or hardly recognizable.

The lamp 7 is behind the frame in this embodiment 6 appropriate.

The invention could be provided in a simple manner, a salt wall element with positively connected stones.
