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, such as those e.g. be used in mobile room partitioning systems. The post is designed in such a way that it is possible to fasten 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 2535388 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 2535388, 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. Nach der deutschen Offenlegungsschrift 2 520 001 ist ein Raumteilsystem bekannt, das Pfosten aufweist, die aus Rohren bestehen. An den Enden der Rohre sind Pfropfen angebracht, die mit Ausnehmungen zur Aufnahme von Haken versehen sind, die Bestandteil der Trennwand sind und durch Mittel in ihrer Position gehalten werden.Posts are also known which are put together from pipes and corresponding connecting pieces and screwed to internal threaded rods. According to German Offenlegungsschrift 2 520 001, a room subsystem is known which has posts which consist of pipes. Plugs are attached to the ends of the tubes, which are provided with recesses for receiving hooks, which are part of the partition and are held in position by means.

Nachteilig ist, dass, abhängig von der Anzahl der ineinander geschobenen Schienen, Druckstücke mit unterschiedlichem Durchmesser verwendet werden müssen. Neben einem Sortiment von Druckstücken unterschiedlichen Durchmesserssind auch noch unterschiedlich lange Gewindestangen erforderlich, da den verschiedenen Pfostenlängen Rechnung getragen werden muss. Bestehen die Pfosten aus Rohren, muss ebenfalls den verschiedenen Pfostenlängen Rechnung getragen werden. Nachteilig bei dieser Konstruktion ist insbesondere, dass sich unterschiedlich hohe Wandelemente nicht ohne zusätzlichen Aufwand an ein und demselben Pfosten befestigen lassen.The disadvantage is that, depending on the number of rails pushed into each other, pressure pieces with different diameters must be used. In addition to an assortment of pressure pieces of different diameters, threaded rods of different lengths are also required, since the different post lengths must be taken into account. If the posts consist of tubes, the different post lengths must also be taken into account. A particular disadvantage of this construction is that wall elements of different heights cannot be attached to one and the same post without additional effort.

Aus der DE-A-2 262 900 ist eine Abstützsäule für Raumteiler-Trennwände unterschiedlicher Höhen bekannt, die aus einem oberen und unteren Rohrkörper besteht, welche koaxial übereinander angeordnet sind. Der obere Rohrkörper wird mit einer durch ihn ragenden Gewindestange in den zwischen den beiden Rohrkörpern angeordneten Anschlusskörper eingeschraubt. Die Gewindestange begrenzt die Länge des oberen Rohrkörpers.From DE-A-2 262 900 a support column for partition walls of different heights is known, which consists of an upper and lower tubular body, which are arranged coaxially one above the other. The upper tubular body is screwed into the connecting body arranged between the two tubular bodies with a threaded rod protruding through it. The threaded rod limits the length of the upper tube body.

Die Aufgabe zu vorliegender Erfindung besteht demgegenüber darin, einen Pfosten zum Tragen und Verbinden von Trennwandelementen zu schaffen, der sich aus gleichen Grundelementen (Pfostenteilen) zu verschiedenen Längen zusammenstecken lässt, bei Umrüstungen den jeweiligen Längenerfordernissen leicht angepasst werden kann und eine Verstellung der Raumteilelemente zueinander ohne weiteres ermöglicht.In contrast, the object of the present invention is to create a post for carrying and connecting partition wall elements, which can be put together from the same basic elements (post parts) to different lengths, can be easily adapted to the respective length requirements in the case of conversions, and without adjusting the space part elements to one another enables further.

Die Aufgabe wird durch einen Pfosten gelöst, der aus einem Rohr besteht, in dessen Endabschnitten Pfropfen angeordnet sind, die axial durchbohrt sind, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass der Pfosten aus Pfostenteilen besteht und die axiale Bohrung eines Pfropfens ein Steckelement zum formschlüssigen Verbinden von zwei Pfostenteilen trägt und die Pfropfen mit radial angeordneten Gewindelöchern zur Aufnahme von Befestigungsschrauben für entsprechende Anschlussleisten der Trennwandelemente versehen sind, die durch entsprechende Bohrungen im Rohr zugänglich sind.The object is achieved by a post, which consists of a tube, in the end sections of which are arranged plugs which are axially pierced, characterized in that the post consists of post parts and the axial bore of a plug carries a plug element for the positive connection of two post parts and the plugs are provided with radially arranged threaded holes for receiving fastening screws for corresponding terminal strips of the partition elements, which are accessible through corresponding bores in the tube.

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.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.

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 ausgebildet. 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 acht radial angeordneten Gewindelöchern zu versehen, wobei der von den Lochachsen eingeschlossene Winkel bevorzugt 45° betragen soll.If the plug-in element serves to receive a further post part, the plug-in element is designed to be 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 eight radially arranged threaded holes, the angle enclosed by the hole axes preferably being 45 °.

Im Folgenden wird die Erfindung an von lediglich einen Ausführungsweg darstellenden Figuren näher erläutert. Es zeigtThe invention is explained in more detail below with the aid of figures which represent only one embodiment. It shows

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 post 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, for. B. with spherical and slotted end 8 for a positive connection with the adjacent post part. To fasten the partition elements, for example by means of corresponding 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, white sen the pipes corresponding holes 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. In addition, it can 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 Trennwandelemente. Die 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.A major advantage of the post according to the invention is that the partition wall elements can be adjusted relative to one another without any screws or other locks having to be released. Another advantage is the attachment of the partition elements. The 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. H. possible without dismantling neighboring elements.
