Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Pfosten zum Tragen und Verbinden von Trennwandelementen wie sie z.B. in mobilen Raumaufteilsystemen verwendet werden. Der Pfosten ist so beschaffen, daß es möglich ist, mehrere Anschlußschienen für Trennwandelemente unter verschiedenen Winkeln zueinander zu befestigen.The invention relates to a post for carrying and connecting partition elements as e.g. be used in mobile room partitioning systems. The post is designed so that it is possible to attach several connecting rails for partition elements at different angles to each other.

Als Trennwandelemente werden im folgenden Möbel, Wandelemente und dergleichen verstanden. Um großräumige Arbeitsplätze funktionell aufzuteilen und den dort arbeitenden Menschen einen abgeschirmten und weitgehend individuellen Arbeitsplatz zu schaffen, werden Raumaufteilsysteme aus solchen Trennwandelementen aufgestellt.In the following, partition walls are understood to mean furniture, wall elements and the like. In order to functionally divide large workplaces and to create a shielded and largely individual workplace for the people working there, partitioning systems are made up of such partition elements.

Nach der deutschen Offenlegungsschrift 25 35 388 ist eine Verbindung für mobile Trennwandelemente bekannt. Es werden zwei oder mehrere Profilschienen mit ihren offenen, spiralförmigen Enden ineinander geschoben und mittels eines Druckstückes mit veränderbarem Durchmesser durch Reibung verbunden.According to German Offenlegungsschrift 25 35 388, a connection for mobile partition elements is known. There are two or more rails with their open, spiral ends pushed into each other and connected by means of a pressure piece with a variable diameter by friction.

Es sind ferner Pfosten bekannt, die aus Rohren und entsprechenden Verbindungsstücken zusammengesteckt und mit innen liegenden Gewindestangen verschraubt werden.Posts are also known which are put together from pipes and corresponding connecting pieces and screwed to internal threaded rods.

Nachteilig ist, daß abhängig von der Anzahl der ineinander geschobenen Schienen Druckstücke mit unterschiedlichem Durchmesser verwendet werden müssen. Neben einem Sortiment von Druckstücken unterschiedlichen Durchmessers sind auch noch unterschiedlich lange Gewindestangen erforderlich, da den verschiedenen Pfostenlängen Rechnung getragen werden muß.It is disadvantageous that, depending on the number of rails pushed into one another, pressure pieces with different diameters have to be used. In addition to a Sortimen t of printed pieces of different diameters also different lengths of threaded rods are required because the different pole lengths must be accommodated.

Die Aufgabe zu vorliegender Erfindung besteht demnach darin, einen Pfosten zum Tragen und Verbinden von Trennwandelementen zu schaffen, der aus-einem Grundelement (Pfostenteil) besteht, das sich zu verschiedenen Längen kombinieren läßt, bei Umrüstungen den jeweiligen Längenerfordernissen leicht angepasst und eine Verstellung der Raumteilelemente zueinander ohne weiteres ermöglicht.The object of the present invention is therefore to create a post for carrying and connecting partition elements, which consists of a basic element (post part) that can be combined to different lengths, easily adapted to the respective length requirements in the case of conversions and an adjustment of the space part elements to each other easily possible.

Die Aufgabe wird durch einen Pfosten bestehend aus mindestens einem Pfostenteil gelöst, das ein Rohr aufweist, in dessen Endabschnitten Pfropfen angeordnet sind, die Pfropfen axial durchbohrt sind, die axiale Bohrung eines Pfropfens ein Steckelement trägt und die Pfropfen mit radial angeordneten Gewindelöchern versehen sind, die durch entsprechende Bohrungen im Rohr zugänglich sind. Um ein Verdrehen der Pfropfen im Rohr zu vermeiden, kann das Rohr längs seiner Innenwand eine in axialer Richtung verlaufende Nut aufweisen und die Pfropfen auf ihrer Außenwand mit einer in gleicher Richtung verlaufenden Feder versehen sein. Außerdem kann die Außenwand des Pfropfens radiale Rippen aufweisen. Dient das Steckelement zur Aufnahme eines weiteren Pfostenteiles, ist das Steckelement an seinem freien Ende federnd für eine formschlüssige Verbindung mit dem Pfropfen des folgenden Pfostenteiles ausge bildet. Bei endständigen Pfostenteilen ist das freie Ende des Steckelementes als Abdeckplatte für den Pfosten ausgebildet. Es hat sich als vorteilhaft herausgestellt, die Pfosten mit jeweils 8 radial angeordneten Gewindelöchern zu versehen, wobei der von den Lochachsen eingeschlossene Winkel bevorzugt 45° betragen soll.The object is achieved by a post consisting of at least one post part, which has a tube, in the end sections of which plugs are arranged, the plugs are axially pierced, the axial bore of a plug carries a plug-in element and the plugs are provided with radially arranged threaded holes which are accessible through appropriate holes in the pipe. In order to avoid twisting of the plugs in the tube, the tube can have a groove running in the axial direction along its inner wall and the plugs can be provided on their outer wall with a spring running in the same direction. In addition, the outer wall of the plug can have radial ribs. If the plug element is used to receive another post part, the plug element is resilient at its free end for a positive connection with the plug of the following post part. In the case of terminal post parts, the free end of the plug element is designed as a cover plate for the post. It has proven to be advantageous to provide the posts with 8 radially arranged threaded holes each, the one enclosed by the hole axes Angle should preferably be 45 °.

Im Folgenden wird die Erfindung an von lediglich einen Ausführungsweg darstellenden Figuren näher,erläutert. Es zeigt Figur 1 den aus Pfostenteilen zusammengesetzten Pfosten und
Figur 2 die wesentlichen Teile eines Pfostenteils in explodierter Darstellung (Einzelheit "Z" von Figur 1).The invention is explained in more detail below with the aid of figures representing only one embodiment. FIG. 1 shows the post and composed of post parts
Figure 2 shows the essential parts of a post part in an exploded view (detail "Z" of Figure 1).

Der Pfosten zum Tragen und Verbinden von Trennwandelementen besteht aus Pfostenteilen 2. Die Pfostenteile 2 bestehen aus einem Rohr 3, in dessen Endabschnitten Pfropfen 4 angeordnet sind. Die Pfropfen 4 sind axial durchbohrt. Die axiale Bohrung 5 eines Pfropfens 4 trägt ein Steckelement 6. Im Falle eines entsprechenden endständigen Pfostenteils 2 ist das freie Ende des Steckelementes 6 als Abdeckplatte 7 für das Pfostenende ausgebildet und im anderen Falle federnd, z.B. mit kugelförmigem und geschlitztem Ende 8 für eine formschlüssige Verbindung mit dem benachbarten Pfostenteil. Zum Befestigen der Trennwandelemente, z.B. mittels entsprechender Schienen (nicht dargestellt), sind die Pfropfen mit radial angeordneten Gewindelöchern 9 versehen. Damit die Gewindelöcher 9 im montierten Zustand des Pfostens zugänglich sind, weisen die Rohre entsprechende Bohrungen 10 auf. Es kann zweckmäßig sein, die Innenwand des Rohres 3 mit einer in axialer Richtung verlaufenden Nut 11 und die Pfropfen 4 mit einer in gleicher Richtung verlaufenden Feder 12 zu versehen. Außerdem kann es von Vorteil sein, die Außenwand der Pfropfen mit radialen Rippen 13 zu versehen, die auch konisch ausgebildet sein können. Zum Zentrieren der Pfostenteile 2 untereinander kann der Pfosten Zentrierringe 1 aufweisen.The post for carrying and connecting partition elements consists of post parts 2. The post parts 2 consist of a tube 3, in the end sections of which plugs 4 are arranged. The plugs 4 are drilled axially. The axial bore 5 of a plug 4 carries a plug element 6. In the case of a corresponding terminal part 2, the free end of the plug element 6 is designed as a cover plate 7 for the post end and in the other case resilient, e.g. with spherical and slotted end 8 for a positive connection with the neighboring post part. For fastening the partition elements, e.g. by means of appropriate rails (not shown), the plugs are provided with radially arranged threaded holes 9. So that the threaded holes 9 are accessible in the assembled state of the post, the tubes have corresponding bores 10. It may be expedient to provide the inner wall of the tube 3 with a groove 11 running in the axial direction and the plugs 4 with a spring 12 running in the same direction. It may also be advantageous to provide the outer wall of the plugs with radial ribs 13, which can also be conical. The post can have centering rings 1 for centering the post parts 2 with one another.

Als wesentlichen Vorteil bietet der erfindungsgemäße Pfosten die beliebige Verstellbarkeit der Trennwandelemente zueinander, ohne daß irgendwelche Schrauben oder sonstige Arretierungen gelöst werden müssen. Ein weiterer Vorteil bietet die Befestigung der Trennwandelementc. DieA major advantage of the post according to the invention is that the partition elements can be adjusted to one another without any screws or other locks having to be loosened. Another advantage is the attachment of the partition elements. The

Montage bzw. Demontage erfordert weder ein Heben der Elemente noch seitliches Verschieben der Pfosten. Bei übereinandergesetzten Trennwandelementen ist das Herausnehmen einzelner Elemente ohne weiteres, d.h. ohne Demontage benachbarter Elemente möglich.Assembly or disassembly does not require lifting the elements or moving the posts sideways. In the case of stacked partition elements, the removal of individual elements is straightforward, i.e. possible without dismantling neighboring elements.
