Denne opfindelse angår en installationskanal beregnet til elledninger, tele- og datakabler og lignende genstande, 5 hvilken' installationskanal omfatter en langstrakt bjælke, der har et i hovedsagen åbent, rektangulært tværsnit og er forberedt til montering på en væg etc., hvilken installationskanal er udformet med lejringsafsnit til ledningerne, kablerne eller de lignende genstande og er forbe-10 redt til indbygning af udrustning for tilslutning til disse ledninger, kabler eller lignende genstande, som for eksempel el- eller dataudtag etc., og hvilken installationskanal yderligere omfatter et aftageligt låg, som kan dække dens overside, og et aftageligt frontpanel, som kan dække dens 15 forside.This invention relates to an installation channel intended for electrical wiring, telecommunications and data cables and similar objects, the installation channel comprising an elongated beam having a generally open rectangular cross-section and prepared for mounting on a wall etc., which installation channel is formed with bearing sections for the wires, cables or similar objects and is prepared for incorporating equipment for connection to these wires, cables or similar objects, such as power or data outlets etc., and which installation channel further comprises a removable cover, which can cover its top side, and a removable front panel which can cover its front face.

Installationskanaler af ovennævnte art er velkendte og almindeligt forekommende. De anvendes for at undgå trækning af el- og telekabler i kanaler, der er udformet i vægge, 20 for eksempel ved at der er trukket rør gennem disse. Ulemperne ved kabler, der placeres på en sådan måde er, at de er vanskelige at komme til, og at det er svært at ændre trækningen af dem. For at undgå disse ulemper og for at lette trækningen af kablerne er der blevet udviklet instal-25 lationskanaler i form af langstrakte, i hovedsagen hule bjælker. Disse fremstilles fordelagtigt i ekstruderet alu minium, hvorved de bliver lette. Installationskanalerne monteres på vægge eller lignende og er udformet således, at kabler og ledninger, der trækkes gennem dem, bliver lette 30 at komme til. Det bliver på denne måde muligt at tilpasse trækning af kabler og ledninger til foreliggende ønsker.Installation channels of the above type are well known and commonly found. They are used to avoid wiring of electrical and telecommunication cables in ducts designed in walls, 20 for example, through pipes being drawn through them. The disadvantages of cables placed in such a way are that they are difficult to get to and that it is difficult to change the drag of them. In order to avoid these disadvantages and to facilitate the drawing of the cables, installation ducts in the form of elongated, generally hollow beams, have been developed. These are advantageously manufactured in extruded aluminum, making them light. The installation ducts are mounted on walls or the like and are designed so that cables and wires pulled through them become easy to access. In this way, it will be possible to adapt the wiring of cables and wires to the present wishes.

Fra FR tillægspatentskrift nr. 2.280.849 kendes en installationskanal, der af en indvendig, vandret væg er inddelt i 35 to lejringsafsnit, hvorfor der højest bør lejres to forskellige typer af ledninger i kanalen, så man kan undgåFR Additional Patent Specification No. 2,280,849 discloses an installation duct which is divided into 35 two bearing sections by an internal horizontal wall, which means that two different types of wires should be stored in the duct at most to avoid

2 forveksling af disse eller interferens mellem ledninger som følge af signaltransmission gennem ledningerne. De forskellige udtag er endvidere monteret i den aftagelige forside til installationskanalen, hvilken forside er udført af et 5 tyndt materiale, så de enkelte udtag ikke er solidt og urokkeligt fastgjort til installationskanalen.2 confusion of these or interference between wires due to signal transmission through the wires. Furthermore, the various outlets are mounted in the removable front of the installation duct, which front is made of a thin material, so that the individual outlets are not firmly and firmly attached to the installation duct.

Fra SE fremlæggelsesskrift nr. 393.147 kendes ligeledes en installationskanal, som er sammensat af flere delelementer, 10 der tilsammen udgør installationskanalen og danner fæste for udtag, som kan monteres i installationskanalen.SE publication specification 393,147 also discloses an installation channel, which is composed of several sub-elements, 10 which together constitute the installation channel and form a bracket for outlets which can be mounted in the installation channel.

Der kendes også en installationskanal fra DE offentliggørelsesskrift nr. 29 46 841, i hvilken kanal udtag er mon-15 teret på en bagvæg.There is also known an installation duct from DE Publication No. 29 46 841, in which duct outlet is mounted on a rear wall.

Endelig kendes fra CH patentskrift nr. 577.095 en installa-tionskanal med en øvre ledningskanal, som er delt med en væg, hvilken ledningskanal i sin bund kan være forsynet med 20 åbninger til kabler, som skal fremføres til et udtag anbragt i et rum under ledningskanalen. Ulempen her er, at låget skal tages af, for at man kan komme til de på konsollerne monterede apparater. Monteringen er i dette tilfælde ret kompliceret, eftersom en åbning skal optages ved de med 25 brudanvisning antydede steder, et eller eventuelt flere kabler skal trækkes igennem til en indkoblingsindretning, for eksempel en stikkontakt, og hvis man ønsker at gennemføre en omkobling, skal væggen fjernes, og dette er ikke alene en kompliceret operation, men indebærer også en risi-30 ko for skade på væggen, som kablerne trækkes igennem. Desuden kan man let komme til at beskadige den ømfindtlige, polerede overflade på forsiden af kanalen.Finally, CH patent specification 577,095 discloses an installation duct with an upper conduit divided by a wall, which conduit at its bottom may be provided with 20 openings for cables to be fed to an outlet located in a space under the conduit duct . The disadvantage here is that the lid has to be removed in order to get to the appliances mounted on the consoles. The mounting in this case is quite complicated, since an opening must be taken at the places indicated by 25 bridges, one or possibly more cables must be pulled through to a switching device, for example an electrical outlet, and if a switching is to be carried out, the wall must be removed. , and this is not only a complicated operation, but also involves a risk of damage to the wall through which the cables are pulled. In addition, the delicate, polished surface of the channel can easily be damaged.

Ved montering af eludtag i de kendte installationskanaler 35 samt ved slutning af ledningerne eller kablerne til eludtagene er det derfor nødvendigt at udføre et ret stort ma-Therefore, when installing electrical outlets in the known installation ducts 35 and when connecting the wires or cables to the electrical outlets, it is necessary to carry out a fairly large electrical connection.

3 nuelt arbejde, hvorfor monteringsarbejdet er bekosteligt. Dertil kommer, at eludtagene i de kendte installationskanaler ikke er anbragt så solidt på installationskanalerne som ønskeligt er.3 current work, which is why the assembly work is expensive. In addition, the electrical outlets in the known installation channels are not as firmly mounted on the installation channels as is desirable.

Formålet med nærværende opfindelse er at fremskaffe en installationskanal, ved hjælp af hvilken lægning af kabler og tilslutning af dem til udtag og så videre bliver så enkel som mulig. Der er lagt vægt på, at de forskellige kabler 10 ikke forstyrrer hinanden, samt at de forskellige apparater kan tilkobles af folk uden specialuddannelse i elektrisk montering.The object of the present invention is to provide an installation duct by means of which laying of cables and connecting them to outlets and so on is as simple as possible. It has been emphasized that the various cables 10 do not interfere with each other, and that the various appliances can be connected by people without specialized training in electrical mounting.

Dette formål opnås ved hjælp af en installationskanal af 15 den indledningsvist angivne art, hvilken installationskanal ifølge opfindelsen er særegen ved, at installationskanalen omfatter mindst to grupper af lejringsafsnit til lægning af ledninger, kabler etc., hvilke grupper er placeret således, at de tillader adskillelse af kabler af forskellig type, at 20 en af grupperne af kabelafsnittene er placeret på oversiden af en i kanalen indgående, øverste vandret plade, at den anden gruppe af kanalafsnit er placeret på en vandret bundplade, at der mellem disse grupper af kabelafsnit findes et rum til montering af elektriske udtag etc., at åbninger er 25 udformet i den øverste vandrette plade til lægning af ledninger, kabler etc. fra den øverste gruppe af kabelafsnit til det elektriske udtag etc., og at afsnittene i den nederste gruppe af kabelafsnit er åbne opadtil for at muliggøre føring af ledninger, kabler etc. fra denne gruppe 30 kabelafsnit til det elektriske udtag etc.This object is achieved by means of an installation duct of the type indicated initially, which installation duct according to the invention is peculiar in that the installation duct comprises at least two groups of bearing sections for laying wires, cables etc. which groups are arranged so as to allow separation. of cables of different type, that one of the groups of cable sections is located on the upper side of a top horizontal plate included in the channel, that the other group of channel sections is located on a horizontal base plate, that there is a space between these groups of cable sections for mounting electrical outlets etc. that openings are formed in the upper horizontal plate for laying wires, cables etc. from the upper group of cable sections to the electrical outlet etc. and that the sections in the lower group of cable sections are open upwards to allow wiring, cables etc. from this group of 30 cable sections to the electrical outlet etc.

Yderligere kendetegn ved opfindelsen fremgår af de uselvstændige krav.Further features of the invention are apparent from the dependent claims.

35 Opfindelsen beskrives nedenfor nærmere med henvisning til tegningen, som er en perspektivtegning af en delvis opskå-The invention is described in greater detail below with reference to the drawing, which is a perspective view of a partially planar view.

4 ren installationskanal ifølge opfindelsen.4 clean installation duct according to the invention.

Installationskanalen betegnes i sin helhed med 10 og omfatter en langstrakt bjælke, der fordelagtigt er fremstillet i 5 ekstruderet aluminium. Ekstruderingsfremgangsmåden gør det enkelt at give installationskanalen 10 den ønskede tværsnitsprofil. Denne profil har, som det fremgår af figuren, i hovedsagen form som et åbent rektangel og omfatter to spor 12, 14 til montering af kanalen 10 på en monterings-10 konsol, der har gribeorganer. Denné konsol og kanalens 10 montering herpå beskrives i DK patentskrift nr. 159507 og behandles af denne årsag ikke nærmere i nærværende ansøgning.The installation channel is denoted in its entirety by 10 and comprises an elongated beam advantageously made of 5 extruded aluminum. The extrusion method makes it easy to give the installation channel 10 the desired cross-sectional profile. This profile, as shown in the figure, is generally in the form of an open rectangle and comprises two grooves 12, 14 for mounting channel 10 on a mounting 10 bracket having gripping means. The Denné console and the mounting of the channel 10 are described in DK patent no. 159507 and are therefore not discussed further in this application.

15 Kanalens 10 profil omfatter endvidere et antal indbyrdes adskilte afsnit 22 til trækning af ledninger 24 og kabler af forskellig art. I den viste udførelsesform for installationskanalen ifølge opfindelsen findes der fire afsnit 22, hvoraf to er udformet på kanalens 10 bundplade 26, og to er 20 udformet på oversiden af dens topplade 28. Afsnittene 22 af grænses af vægge 30, der er fremstillet i et stykke med profilen i øvrigt.The profile of the duct 10 further comprises a plurality of spaced apart sections 22 for pulling wires 24 and cables of various kinds. In the illustrated embodiment of the installation channel according to the invention there are four sections 22, two of which are formed on the bottom plate 26 of the channel 10 and two are formed on the upper side of its top plate 28. The sections 22 are bounded by walls 30 made in one piece. with the profile otherwise.

Med de adskilte afsnit 22 er det muligt, som det vises på teg-25 ningen, at trække ledninger 24 af forskellig art adskilt i kanalen 10. Hver ledningsart 24 får et afsnit 22. Som eksempel på forskellige ledninger kan nævnes ledninger til svagstrøm, telekabler og kabler til overføring af data. Den adskilte trækning af disse gør det let at komme til dem, hvilket letter 30 etableringen af udtag, koblingsarbejde, vedligeholdelse etc.With the separate sections 22, as shown in the drawing, it is possible to pull wires 24 of different kinds separately in the channel 10. Each type of wiring 24 is provided with a section 22. Examples of different wires may be cables for low current, telecommunication cables and data transfer cables. The separate drawing of these makes it easy to reach them, which facilitates the establishment of outlets, coupling work, maintenance etc.

Som det er vist på tegningen, er installationskanalen 10 udformet til montering af udtag 32, som fastgøres til et spor 34, der er udformet til en sådan indbygning. Som eksempel er 35 der valgt et almindeligt udtag 32 for 220 V vekselstrøm. Ledningerne 24 til denne strøm er anbragt i det øvre, højre af-As shown in the drawing, the installation channel 10 is designed for mounting outlets 32 which are attached to a groove 34 which is designed for such an installation. As an example, a conventional outlet 32 for 220 V AC is selected. The wires 24 for this flow are located in the upper, right

DK 163621 BDK 163621 B

5 snit 22 på tegningen, og den ledning 24, der er trukket frem til udtaget, er ført gennem en åbning 36 i afsnittets 22 bund-/topplade 28. Også det øvre, på tegningen venstre afsnit har på tilsvarende måde en åbning 36.5, section 22 of the drawing, and the conduit 24 drawn to the outlet, is passed through an opening 36 in the bottom / top plate 28. The upper section of the left section also has an opening 36 in a similar manner.

Bjælken 10 lukkes ved hjælp af afdækninger 38, 40, fordelagtigt af aluminium eller plast. Af afdækningerne er den ene, frontpanelet 38, lavet, så den afdækker bjælkens frontside, og den anden, låget 40, udgør et låg og afdækker afsnittenes 22 10 overside. Der udskæres åbninger (ikke vist) i afdækningen 38 lige ud for de udtag 32, der indbygges i kanalen.The beam 10 is closed by covers 38, 40, advantageously of aluminum or plastic. Of the covers, one, the front panel 38, is made to cover the front side of the beam, and the other, the lid 40, constitutes a lid and covers the upper side of the sections 22 10. Openings (not shown) are cut in the cover 38 just off the outlets 32 that are built into the duct.

Udtag 32 kan derfor monteres i et område mellem de to grupper af afsnit 22 til trækning af ledninger og kabler 24. Dette om-15 råde er helt reserveret til udtag 32 for el- eller data- og anden udrustning (som for eksempel elkontakter, hjælpeapparater etc.) for tilslutning til ledningerne og kablerne. Disse udtag 32 kan anbringes frit i kanalens 10 længderetning, og ledninger, kabler 24 etc. kan direkte trækkes til udtagene 32 20 uden at krydse nogen af de øvrige afsnit 22, hvori der er trukket ledninger af en anden art. Installationen af udtag 32 etc. lettes væsentligt i forhold til kendt teknik. Udformningen af sporet 34 muliggør desuden hurtig montering af el- eller dataudtag 32.Outlets 32 can therefore be mounted in an area between the two groups of section 22 for wiring wires and cables 24. This area is completely reserved for outlets 32 for electrical or data and other equipment (such as electrical contacts, auxiliary appliances etc.) for connecting the wires and cables. These outlets 32 can be positioned freely in the longitudinal direction of the duct 10, and wires, cables 24, etc. can be drawn directly to the outlets 32 20 without crossing any of the other sections 22 in which wires of another kind are drawn. The installation of outlets 32 etc. is considerably facilitated in relation to the prior art. Furthermore, the design of the groove 34 enables fast mounting of electrical or data outlets 32.

Frontpanelet 38 er ved sin overkant udformet, så det kan gribe omkring overkanten på den ydre væg 30. Frontpanelet 38 kan vippes omkring denne ophængning og har ved sin underkant en gribeliste 42 for på fastholdende måde at kunne gribe omkring 30 bundpladen 26. Låget 40 er udformet, så det med vippemulighed kan gribe omkring en fortykkelse 44 på den øverste kant af bagvæggen 30 i installationskanalen. Låget 40 har endvidere en forreste flange 46, der kan gribe omkring frontpanelet 38, og et gribeorgan 48, der kan gå i indgreb med et tilsvarende ind-35 grebsorgan 50 på den midterste væg 30. Frontpanelet 38 monteres før låget 40 og låses i forhold til kanalen 10 ved hjælpThe front panel 38 is formed at its upper edge so that it can grip around the upper edge of the outer wall 30. The front panel 38 can be tilted around this suspension and has at its lower edge a gripping strip 42 so as to be able to grip about the bottom plate 26. The lid 40 is designed so that it can engage with a tilting option about a thickening 44 on the upper edge of the rear wall 30 of the installation channel. The lid 40 further has a front flange 46 which can engage about the front panel 38 and a gripper 48 which can engage a corresponding engagement member 50 on the middle wall 30. The front panel 38 is mounted before the lid 40 and locked in relation to to channel 10 using

6 af dette. Det er muligt at fjerne låget alene og at få adgang til de i de øvrige afsnit 22 anbragte kabler 24 uden at aftage frontpanelet 38. Stærkstrømsledninger anbringes fordelagtigt i de nederste afsnit 22, og med låsningen af frontpanelet 38 med 5 låget 40 ifølge denne opfindelse opnår man sikkerhed mod, at disse stærkstrømsledninger blotlægges ved en fejltagelse.6 of this. It is possible to remove the cover alone and to access the cables 24 located in the other sections 22 without removing the front panel 38. Power lines are advantageously placed in the lower sections 22 and with the locking of the front panel 38 with the 5 cover 40 according to this invention one can be sure that these power lines are exposed in error.

Til samling af kanalelementer til en installationskanal anvendes styrestifter (ikke vist). Kanalen 10 har på sin underside 10 krogorganer 52 for at muliggøre fastgørelse af separate, ydre kanaler til for eksempel store datakabler på installationskanalen 10.Control pins (not shown) are used to assemble channel elements for an installation channel. The channel 10 has on its underside 10 hook means 52 to permit the attachment of separate outer channels to, for example, large data cables on the installation channel 10.
