Abstract

Structural assembly, more particularly for a shower partition, comprising a door support in the form of a profiled rail having, in an outer face thereof, a first channel, of which one side flange forms a groove, and a facing panel mounted in this first channel. The facing panel is held in the first channel by a connecting element fitting in the groove. Existing arrangements of this type are relatively wide, of correspondingly large structural volume, and of high material costs. In order to obtain a structurally simple and inexpensive connection between the facing panel and the profiled rail, it is proposed that the panel be provided with a longitudinal second channel which opens towards the groove of the first channel. The connecting element engages partly in the second channel and partly in the groove.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Anordnung, insbesondere für eine Duschtrennwand, mit einer Profilschiene, die in einer Außenfläche eine hinterschnittene Führungsnut mit zwei seitlichen Hinterschneidungen aufweist, mit einem Verblendungsprofil, welches mittels mindestens eines an der Innenfläche angeordneten elastischen Verbindungselements in der Hinterschneidung der Führungsnut gehalten ist, wobei das Verbindungselement einerseits in der Längsnut und andererseits mit einem seitlichen Teil in der Hinterschneidung angeordnet ist.The invention relates to an arrangement, in particular for a shower partition, with a profile rail which has an undercut guide groove in an outer surface with two lateral undercuts, with a facing profile which is held in the undercut of the guide groove by means of at least one elastic connecting element arranged on the inner surface is, the connecting element is arranged on the one hand in the longitudinal groove and on the other hand with a lateral part in the undercut.

In dem deutschen Gebrauchsmuster 80 13 940.8 ist eine Anordnung dieser Art für eine Duschtrennwand beschrieben. Die einem Betrachter zugewandte, sichtbare Außenfläche der Profilschiene weist eine Führungsnut auf, in welche ein Verblendungsprofil aus Kunststoff, Holz oder dergleichen eingesetzt ist. Die Führungsnut ist mit Hinterschneidungen versehen, um mittels eines elastischen Verbindungselements die Befestigung des Verblendungsprofils zu ermöglichen. Das Verbindungselement und auch das Verblendungsprofil weisen senkrecht zur Außenfläche der Profilschiene eine insgesamt große Höhe auf, wodurch der im Inneren der Profilschiene verfügbare Raum bei vorgegebener Bauhöhe der Anordnung entsprechend verringert wird. Sind beispielsweise im Inneren der Profilschiene Führungselemente zum Verschieben von Türen oder ähnlichem anzuordnen, so werden die Bauhöhe und folglich auch das Gesamtgewicht entsprechend groß, wobei auch ein entsprechend hoher Materialaufwand erforderlich ist. Ferner sind bei der Fertigung der Profilschiene des Verblendungsprofilssowie des Verbindungselements relativ enge Toleranzen einzuhalten, damit eine feste Arretierung des Verblendungsprofils gewährleistet werden kann. Das Verbindungselement wird bei der Montage in Längsrichtung in die Führungsnut eingeschoben und nachträglich kann das Verblendungsprofil eingeklipst werden. Hierbei müssen nach innen gerichtete Arme des Verbindungselements in die zur Seite hin offenen Längsnuten eingreifen; bei zu engen Toleranzen kann ein Abscheren der genannten Arme eintreten, während bei zu großen Toleranzen die Arme nicht mehr ordnungsgemäß in die Längsnuten eingreifen und folglich das Verblendungsprofil nur noch relativ lose gehalten wird.In the German utility model 80 13 940.8 an arrangement of this type is described for a shower partition. The visible outer surface of the profile rail facing a viewer has a guide groove into which a facing profile made of plastic, wood or the like is inserted. The guide groove is provided with undercuts to enable the facing profile to be fastened by means of an elastic connecting element. The connecting element and also the veneer profile have an overall large height perpendicular to the outer surface of the profile rail, as a result of which the space available inside the profile rail is correspondingly reduced for a given overall height of the arrangement. For example, if guide elements for moving doors or the like are to be arranged in the interior of the profile rail, the overall height and consequently also the total weight are correspondingly large, and a correspondingly high amount of material is also required. Furthermore, relatively narrow tolerances must be observed during the manufacture of the profile rail of the facing profile and of the connecting element, so that a firm locking of the facing profile can be ensured. The connecting element is inserted into the guide groove in the longitudinal direction during assembly and the facing profile can be clipped in afterwards. In this case, inwardly directed arms of the connecting element must engage in the longitudinal grooves which are open to the side; if the tolerances are too narrow, shearing of the arms mentioned can occur, while if the tolerances are too great the arms no longer properly engage in the longitudinal grooves and the veneer profile is consequently only held relatively loosely.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die Anordnung der genannten Art dahingehend weiterzubilden, daß bei geringer Bauhöhe eine funktionsgerechte Montage ermöglicht und eine zuverlässige Befestigung des Verblendungsprofils gewährleistet wird.The invention has for its object to further develop the arrangement of the type mentioned in such a way that functional assembly is possible with a low overall height and reliable fastening of the facing profile is ensured.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe wird vorgeschlagen, daß die Längsnut des Verblendungsprofils zumindest teilweise in der Ebene der Hinterschneidung angeordnet und zu dieser hin offen ist, daß beim Einsetzen des Verblendungsprofiles in die Führungsnut der seitliche Teil des Verbindungselementes, welches zuvor in der Längsnut angeordnet wurde, in die Längsnut hinein elastisch verformbar ist, und daß in die andere seitliche Hinterschneidung ein Schenkel des Verblendungsprofils oder ein Teil eines weiteren Verbindungselements eingreift, das in einer von der ersten Längsnut durch einen Steg getrennten weiteren Längsnut des Verblendungsprofils entsprechend wie das erstgenannte Verbindungselement angeordnet ist.To solve this problem, it is proposed that the longitudinal groove of the facing profile is at least partially arranged in the plane of the undercut and is open towards this that when the facing profile is inserted into the guide groove, the lateral part of the connecting element, which was previously arranged in the longitudinal groove, in the longitudinal groove is elastically deformable, and that a leg of the facing profile or part of a further connecting element engages in the other lateral undercut, which is arranged in a further longitudinal groove of the facing profile separated from the first longitudinal groove by a web, corresponding to the first-mentioned connecting element.

Die erfindungsgemäße Anordnung weist einen einfachen und kostengünstigen Aufbau auf. Es wird eine geringe Bauhöhe möglich, und bei der Fertigung können relativ große Toleranzen zugelassen werden, wobei gleichwohl eine funktionsgerechte Befestigung erreicht wird. Die Längsnut des Verblendungsprofils befindet sich zumindest teilweise in der gleichen Ebene wie die Hinterschneidung der Profilschiene, wodurch eine günstige Ausnutzung des Bauvolumens erreicht wird. Der seitliche Teil ist als Vorsprung, Bogen, abgerundete Kante oder ähnlich ausgebildet und kann beim Einsetzen in Richtung auf die Längsnut und ggfs. in diese hinein bewegt werden. Wesentlich ist, daß der seitliche Teil des Verbindungselements, der in die Hinterschneidung eingreift, beim Einsetzen des Verblendungsprofiles nach innen in Richtung auf die Längsnut elastisch verformbar angeordnet und dorthin ausweichen kann. Durch die Anordnung der Längsnut und der Hinterschneidung etwa in der gleichen Ebene ist also ein großer Bewegungsfreiraum für den seitlichen Teil geschaffen, so daß Fertigungsungenauigkeiten problemlos ausgeglichen werden können. Die Befestigung des Verblendungsprofils in der anderen Hinterschneidung erfolgt entweder über einen seitlichen Schenkel des Verblendungsprofiles oder mittels eines weiteren Verbindungselementes, das in entsprechender Weise in eine weitere Längsnut des Verblendungsprofiles eingesetzt ist. Das Verblendungsprofil kann bei Bedarf wieder aus der Führungsnut herausgenommen werden und beispielsweise gegen ein anderes Verblendungsprofil ausgetauscht werden.The arrangement according to the invention has a simple and inexpensive structure. A low overall height becomes possible, and relatively large tolerances can be permitted during production, nevertheless a functionally appropriate fastening is achieved. The longitudinal groove of the facing profile is at least partially in the same plane as the undercut of the profile rail, whereby a favorable utilization of the construction volume is achieved. The side part is designed as a projection, arc, rounded edge or the like and can be moved in the direction of the longitudinal groove and, if necessary, into it. It is essential that the lateral part of the connecting element, which engages in the undercut, can be arranged elastically deformable in the direction of the longitudinal groove when the veneer profile is inserted and can deflect there. The arrangement of the longitudinal groove and the undercut approximately in the same plane creates a large freedom of movement for the lateral part, so that manufacturing inaccuracies can be compensated for without problems. The veneer profile is fastened in the other undercut either via a lateral leg of the veneer profile or by means of a further connecting element which is inserted in a corresponding manner into a further longitudinal groove of the veneer profile. If necessary, the facing profile can be removed from the guide groove and, for example, exchanged for another facing profile.

In einer wesentlichen Ausgestaltung liegt das Verblendungsprofil mit einem Steg und/oder einem Schenkel auf der Bodenfläche der Führungsnut auf. Die Längsnut für das Verbindungselement befindet sich an dem genannten Steg oder an dem Schenkel. Aufgrund des Steges oder des Schenkels wird zum einen eine hohe Steifigkeit des Verblendungsprofiles erreicht, und zum anderen erfolgt eine unmittelbare Abstützung desselben auf der Profilschiene. Auf die Oberfläche des Verblendungsprofils einwirkende Kräfte führen somit auch nicht zu einem Durchbiegen oder gar zu Beschädigungen des Verblendungsprofiles.In an essential embodiment, the facing profile lies with a web and / or a leg on the bottom surface of the guide groove. The longitudinal groove for the connecting element is located on the said web or on the leg. Because of the web or the leg, on the one hand a high stiffness of the facing profile is achieved, and on the other hand the same is supported directly on the profile rail. Forces which act on the surface of the facing profile therefore do not lead to bending or even damage to the facing profile.

Gemäß einer besonderen Ausgestaltung besteht das Verbindungselement aus einem elastisch federnden Material, und es enthält wenigstens einen federnden Teil oder Bereich, der im wesentlichen senkrecht auf die Bodenfläche der Führungsnut einwirkt. Es wird somit eine geeignete Verspannung des Verblendungsprofils in der Profilschiene erreicht, und zwar im wesentlichen senkrecht zur Außenfläche der Profilschiene. Das Verblendungsprofil ist sowohl in Richtung senkrecht zur Oberfläche der Profilschiene als auch quer dazu in Richtung der Hinterschneidung federnd abgestützt. Es können große Fertigungstoleranzen zugelassen werden, und gleichwohl wird ein Klappern infolge eines losen Sitzes des Verblendungsprofils in der Profilschiene verhindert.According to a special embodiment, the connecting element consists of an elastically resilient material, and it contains at least one resilient part or area which acts essentially perpendicularly on the bottom surface of the guide groove. A suitable bracing of the facing profile in the profile rail is thus achieved, essentially perpendicular to the outer surface of the profile rail. The facing profile is resiliently supported both in the direction perpendicular to the surface of the profile rail and transversely thereto in the direction of the undercut. Large manufacturing tolerances can be allowed, and nevertheless rattling due to a loose fit of the facing profile in the profile rail is prevented.

The invention is explained in more detail below on the basis of the exemplary embodiments illustrated in the drawing. Show it:
  • 1 schematically shows a perspective view of the arrangement,
  • 2 shows a section through an arrangement similar to FIG. 1, specifically along section line 11,
  • 3 is a plan view in the viewing direction 111 of FIG. 2,

In Fig. 1 ist schematisch eine Profilschiene 2 dargestellt, welche als eine obere Profilschiene für eine Duschtrennwand ausgebildet ist. Die Profilschiene 2 enthält im Inneren eine Führungsbahn 4, auf welcher hier nicht dargestellte Rollen oder dergleichen zwecks Befestigung einer Schiebetür gelagert sind. Weitere entsprechend ausgebildete Führungsbahnen können vorgesehen sein. Auf der, beispielsweise einem Betrachter zugewandten, sichtbaren Außenfläche 6 weist die Profilschiene 2 eine sich in Richtung einer Längsachse 8 erstreckende Führungsnut 10 auf, in welche ein Verblendungsprofil 12 eingesetzt ist. Die Führungsnut 10 enthält zwei seitliche Hinterschneidungen 14, 16, die einen etwa rechteckförmigen Querschnitt aufweisen und nachfolgend auch als Ausnehmungen bezeichnet werden. Die Hinterschneidungen bzw. Ausnehmungen 14,16 können auch andere Querschnittsformen aufweisen.In Fig. 1, a profile rail 2 is shown schematically, which is designed as an upper profile rail for a shower partition. The profile rail 2 contains a guide track 4 on the inside, on which rollers or the like, not shown here, are mounted for the purpose of fastening a sliding door. Further appropriately designed guideways can be provided. On the visible outer surface 6, facing for example an observer, the profile rail 2 has a guide groove 10 which extends in the direction of a longitudinal axis 8 and into which a facing profile 12 is inserted. The guide groove 10 contains two lateral undercuts 14, 16, which have an approximately rectangular cross section and are also referred to below as recesses. The undercuts or recesses 14, 16 can also have other cross-sectional shapes.

Das Verblendungsprofil 12 weist auf der einen Seite einen Schenkel 24 auf, welcher in die Ausnehmung 16 der Profilschiene 2 eingreift. Etwa in der Mitte des Verblendungs-Profils 12 befindet sich ein Steg 62, welcher sich bis auf die Bodenfläche 35 der Führungsnut 10 erstreckt.The facing profile 12 has on one side a leg 24 which engages in the recess 16 of the profile rail 2. Approximately in the middle of the facing profile 12 there is a web 62 which extends to the bottom surface 35 of the guide groove 10.

An dem genannten Steg 62 ist ein Schenkel 64 angeordnet, welcher ebenfalls auf der Bodenfläche 38 aufliegt. Dieser Schenkel 64 erstreckt sich in die entgegengesetzte Richtung wie der Schenkel 24, und zwar in Richtung auf die Ausnehmung 14. Es ist also eine Längsnut 18 geschaffen, welche in Richtung zur Ausnehmung 14 offen ist. In die Längsnut 18 ist ein Verbindungselement 28 eingesetzt, welches mit einem als Riegel ausgebildeten Vorsprung 34 in die Ausnehmung 14 eingreift. Ein mit dem Riegel 34 verbundener Hebel 66 ist durch Einschneiden bzw. Herausstanzen eines L-förmigen Schlitzes 68 geschaffen. Das Verbindungselement 28 besteht aus einem elastischen Material, insbesondere Kunststoff oder Metall, so daß aufgrund des Hebels 66 ein federndes Einrasten des Riegels 34 in die Ausnehmung 14 ermöglicht wird. Das Verbindungselement 28 weist ferner ein federndes Teil 70 auf, mittels welchem eine Verspannung senkrecht zur Außenfläche 6 bzw. zur Bodenfläche 10 erreicht wird. Ein unerwünschtes Hin- und Herrutschen des Verbindungselements 28 oder gar des Verblendungsprofils 12 wird durch die erläuterte doppelte Federwirkung in zwei zueinander senkrechten Richtungen somit vermieden. Es bedarf keiner besonderen Hervorhebung, daß aufgrund des federnd angeordneten Riegels 34 ohne Schwierigkeiten die erforderliche Verspannung des Verbindungselements 28 zum einen in der Ausnehmung 14 und zum anderen an dem Steg 62 sichergestellt werden kann. Von dem Verbindungselement 28 sind hier drei Riegel 34 sowie zwei federnde Teile 70 dargestellt, wobei das Verbindungselement 28 in einem gewissen Abstand zur Stirnfläche der Profilschiene angeordnet ist. Es ist ersichtlich, daß ein erfindungsgemäß ausgebildetes Verbindungselement ggf. die gleiche Länge wie die Profilschiene selbst aufweisen kann.A leg 64 is arranged on said web 62 and also rests on the bottom surface 38. This leg 64 extends in the opposite direction to the leg 24, namely in the direction of the recess 14. A longitudinal groove 18 is thus created which is open in the direction of the recess 14. A connecting element 28 is inserted into the longitudinal groove 18 and engages in the recess 14 with a projection 34 designed as a bolt. A lever 66 connected to the bolt 34 is created by cutting or punching out an L-shaped slot 68. The connecting element 28 consists of an elastic material, in particular plastic or metal, so that a resilient engagement of the bolt 34 in the recess 14 is made possible by the lever 66. The connecting element 28 also has a resilient part 70, by means of which a bracing perpendicular to the outer surface 6 or to the bottom surface 10 is achieved. An undesired sliding back and forth of the connecting element 28 or even the facing profile 12 is thus avoided by the double spring effect explained in two mutually perpendicular directions. It is not necessary to emphasize that the required tensioning of the connecting element 28 can be ensured on the one hand in the recess 14 and on the other hand on the web 62 due to the resiliently arranged bolt 34. Three bars 34 and two resilient parts 70 of the connecting element 28 are shown here, the connecting element 28 being arranged at a certain distance from the end face of the profile rail. It can be seen that a connecting element designed according to the invention can possibly have the same length as the profile rail itself.

Ferner kann das Verbindungselement 28 aber auch wesentlich kürzer als die Profilschiene 2 ausgebildet sein, wobei ggf. über die Gesamtlänge der Profilschiene mehrere derartige, kurze Verbindungselemente angeordnet sein können.Furthermore, the connecting element 28 can, however, also be made substantially shorter than the profile rail 2, it being possible for a plurality of such short connecting elements to be arranged over the entire length of the profile rail.

In einer alternativen, hier nicht dargestellten Ausführungsform kann an den mittleren Steg 62 noch ein weiterer Schenkel vorgesehen sein, welcher sich jedoch in die andere Richtung als der oben ekläuterte Schenkel 64 erstreckt. Diese beiden Schenkel und der genannte mittlere Steg weisen somit einen etwa T-förmigen Querschnitt auf, wobei zwei Längsnuten nunmehr vorhanden sind, die sich jeweils zu den zugeordneten Ausnehmungen der Profilschiene hin öffnen. Der genannte zusätzliche an der Bodenfläche der Profilschiene aufliegende Schenkel kann dann unmittelbar in die zugeordnete Ausnehmung eingreifen, oder es kann auch hier ein Verbindungselement vorgesehen werden, welches dem oben bereits ausführlich beschriebenen Verbindungselement entspricht.In an alternative embodiment, not shown here, a further leg can be provided on the central web 62, but which extends in the other direction than the leg 64 explained above. These two legs and the middle web mentioned thus have an approximately T-shaped cross section, two longitudinal grooves now being present, each opening towards the associated recesses of the profile rail. The aforementioned additional leg resting on the bottom surface of the profile rail can then engage directly in the associated recess, or a connecting element can also be provided here which corresponds to the connecting element already described in detail above.

In Fig. 2 ist teilweise ein Schnitt durch eine etwas abgewandelte Profilschiene entsprechend einem Schnitt entlang der Schnittlinie 11 von Fig. 1 dargestellt. Die Führungsnut 10, das Verblendungsprofil 12 sowie das Verbindungselement 28 sind übereinstimmend mit der obigen Ausführungsform ausgebildet. Das Verblendungsprofil 12 greift mit seinem etwa stufenförmig ausgebildeten Schenkel 24 in die Ausnehmung 14 der Profilschiene 2 ein. Es sei hier hervorgehoben, daß der Schenkel 24 auch auf der Bodenfläche 38 der Führungsnut 10 abgestützt ist. Ebenso liegt der an dem mittleren Steg 62 angeordnete Schenkel 64 auf der Bodenfläche 38 auf, wodurch insgesamt eine stabile Anordnung und Auflagerung des Verblendungsprofils 12 in der Profilschiene 2 sichergestellt ist. Der Schenkel 64 verläuft im wesentlichen parallel zu der Innenfläche 44 des Verblendungsprofils 12, wobei in die derart gebildete Längsnut 18 das Verbindungselement 28 eingesetzt ist, dessen Riegel 34 in die Ausnehmung 16 der Profilschiene 2 eingreift. Mit strichpunktierten Linien ist das Verblendungsprofil samt eingesetztem Verbindungselement bei der Montage angedeutet. Es wird also das Verblendungsprofil zunächst mit seinem Schenkel 24 in die Ausnehmung 14 eingesetzt. Anschließend wird durch einfaches Herunterdrücken des Verblendungsprofils in Richtung auf die Nutfläche 38 die endgültige Befestigung hergestellt, wobei der federnd angeordnete Riegel zunächst in Richtung auf den Steg 62 zurückgedrückt wird, um daraufhin in die Ausnehmung 16 einzurasten. Zur Erleichterung dieser Vorgänge ist die Seitenfläche 46 des Riegels 34 mit einer abgerundeten Kontur versehen.In Fig. 2 is a section through a somewhat modified profile rail corresponding to a section along the section line 11 of Fig. 1 shown. The guide groove 10, the facing profile 12 and the connecting element 28 are designed in accordance with the above embodiment. The facing profile 12 engages with its approximately step-shaped leg 24 in the recess 14 of the profile rail 2. It should be emphasized here that the leg 24 is also supported on the bottom surface 38 of the guide groove 10. Likewise, the leg 64 arranged on the central web 62 rests on the bottom surface 38, as a result of which overall a stable arrangement and support of the facing profile 12 in the profile rail 2 is ensured. The leg 64 runs essentially parallel to the inner surface 44 of the facing profile 12, the connecting element 28 being inserted into the longitudinal groove 18 thus formed, the latch 34 of which engages in the recess 16 of the profile rail 2. With dash-dotted lines, the veneer profile, including the connecting element used, is indicated during assembly. Thus, the veneer profile is first inserted into the recess 14 with its leg 24. The final attachment is then made by simply pressing down the facing profile in the direction of the groove surface 38, the spring-mounted latch being first pushed back in the direction of the web 62 in order to then snap into the recess 16. To facilitate these processes, the side surface 46 of the latch 34 is provided with a rounded contour.

In Fig. 3 ist eine Aufsicht auf das Verblendungsprofil 12 und das eingesetzte Verbindungselement 28 in Blickrichtung 111 auf die Innenfläche 44 dargestellt. Der sich in Richtung der Längsachse 8 erstreckende Schenkel 64 weist eine Breite 72 auf, welcher wenigstens 25 % der Gesamtbreite 74 des Verblendungsprofils 12 beträgt. Hierdurch ist eine sichere und zuverlässige Abstützung des Verbindungselements 28 in der derart gebildeten Längsnut 18 sichergestellt.FIG. 3 shows a top view of the facing profile 12 and the connecting element 28 used in the viewing direction 111 of the inner surface 44. The leg 64 extending in the direction of the longitudinal axis 8 has a width 72 which is at least 25% of the total width 74 of the facing profile 12. This ensures secure and reliable support of the connecting element 28 in the longitudinal groove 18 formed in this way.

Wesentlich ist ferner, daß die Seitenkante 78 des Schenkels 64 etwa durch die Mitte des Schlitzes 68 verläuft. Es ist also auch eine elastische Bewegbarkeit des Hebels 66 und des Schenkels 64 in Richtung senkrecht zur Innenfläche 44 bzw. zur Bodenfläche 38 gegeben. Aufgrund des L-förmigen Schlitzes 68 wird das federnde Zurückbiegen des Riegels 34 in Richtung des Pfeiles 50 in eine hier strichpunktiert dargestellte Position ermöglicht. Der Hebel 66 weist in Richtung der Längsachse 8 eine vorgegebene Länge 78 auf.It is also essential that the side edge 78 of the leg 64 runs approximately through the center of the slot 68. There is therefore also an elastic mobility of the lever 66 and the leg 64 in the direction perpendicular to the inner surface 44 and to the bottom surface 38. Because of the L-shaped slot 68, the resilient bending back of the bolt 34 in the direction of the arrow 50 into a position shown here in broken lines is made possible. The lever 66 has a predetermined length 78 in the direction of the longitudinal axis 8.

Diese Länge 78 kann den jeweiligen Erfordernissen, insbesondere unter Berücksichtigung der Elastizität und Festigkeit des Materials vom Verbindungselement 28 vorgegeben werden. Bei der gezeigten Ausführungsform sind wenigstens zwei Riegel 34 sowie zwei federnde Teile 70 vorhanden und es ist ersichtlich, daß ggf. über die Gesamtlänge der Profilschiene noch weitere Riegel sowie federnde Teile oder ggf. auch entsprechend ausgebildete kurze weitere Verbindungselemente vorgesehen werden können. Der Riegel 34 steht teilweise bzw. mit einer Nase über die seitliche Außenkante 80 heraus, wobei erfindungsgemäß eine Abstimmung mit der Breite 82 des Schlitzes 68 derart vorgenommen ist, daß der Riegel 34 ungehindert in die strichpunktiert angedeutete Stellung beim Einsetzen des Verblendungsprofils gedrückt werden kann.This length 78 can be specified by the connecting element 28 to the respective requirements, in particular taking into account the elasticity and strength of the material. In the embodiment shown, there are at least two bolts 34 and two resilient parts 70 and it can be seen that, if necessary, further bolts and resilient parts or, if appropriate, appropriately designed short connecting elements can be provided over the entire length of the profile rail. The bolt 34 protrudes partially or with a nose over the lateral outer edge 80, whereby according to the invention the width 82 of the slot 68 is adjusted in such a way that the bolt 34 can be pressed unhindered into the position indicated by dash-dotted lines when the veneer profile is inserted.

In Fig. 4 ist wiederum eine Aufsicht auf das Verblendungsprofil 12 und das eingesetzte Verbindungselement 28 dargestellt, welches nunmehr in Richtung der Längsachse etwa mäanderförmig ausgebildet ist. Das Verbindungselement 28 besteht beispielsweise aus Federstahl oder aus einem entsprechend elastisch verformbaren Kunststoff, wobei eine Gesamtbreite 84 zwischen den seitlichen Bögen 86, 88 vorgegeben ist. Hierbei ragt der eine seitliche Bogen 86 über die seitliche Außenkante 80 des Verblendungsprofils 12 heraus, während der oder die anderen seitlichen Bögen 88 sich in der Längsnut 18 befinden. Wird beim Einsetzen in die hier nicht dargestellte Profilschiene eine Längskraft F auf das Verbindungselement 28 ausgeübt, so reduziert sich die Gesamtbreite 84. Gesamtbreite, elastische Verformbarkeit sowie aufzubringende Längskraft sind derart aufeinander abgestimmt, daß beim Einsetzen die Außenkante 90 ohne weiteres an der zugeordneten Innenkante, welche sich im Bereich der Oberfläche der Profilschiene befindet, vorbeigleiten kann. Bei dieser Ausführungsform ist erfindungsgemäß die senkrecht zur Innenfläche 44 wirksame Federkraft dadurch vorgegeben, daß das Verbindungselement senkrecht zur Längsebene, in welcher die Bögen 86,88 liegen, etwa wellenförmig vorgebogen sind. Zumindest der Bogen 86 ist mit einer abgerundeten Kontur versehen.4 again shows a top view of the facing profile 12 and the connecting element 28 used, which is now approximately meandering in the direction of the longitudinal axis. The connecting element 28 consists, for example, of spring steel or of a correspondingly elastically deformable plastic, a total width 84 being predetermined between the lateral arches 86, 88. In this case, the one lateral arch 86 protrudes beyond the lateral outer edge 80 of the facing profile 12, while the other lateral arch 88 is located in the longitudinal groove 18. If a longitudinal force F is exerted on the connecting element 28 when it is inserted into the profile rail (not shown here), the overall width 84 is reduced.Overall width, elastic deformability and the longitudinal force to be applied are coordinated with one another in such a way that when inserting the outer edge 90 easily on the assigned inner edge, which is in the area of the surface of the profile rail, can slide past. In this embodiment, the spring force effective perpendicular to the inner surface 44 is predetermined according to the invention in that the connecting element is pre-bent approximately in a wave shape perpendicular to the longitudinal plane in which the arches 86, 88 lie. At least the arch 86 is provided with a rounded contour.

Es sei hier ausdrücklich hervorgehoben, daß die Längskraft F beim Einsetzen sozusagen automatisch und ohne weitere Maßnahmen erzeugt wird. Wird nämlich das in die Längsnut 18 eingesetzte Verbindungselement 28 zusammen mit dem Verblendungsprofil in die Profilschiene hineingedrückt, so wirkt auf den seitlich herausstehenden Bogen 86 eine Kraft, die im wesentlichen senkrecht zur Zeichenebene wirkt. Aufgrund der erfindungsgemäß vorgeschlagenen Ausbildung des Verbindungselements erfolgt hierbei auch eine Kraftumlenkung, so daß die oben erläuterte Längskraft F wirksam wird. Ggf. kann aber auch zusätzlich oder auch teilweise von außen diese Längskraft F aufgebracht werden.It should be explicitly emphasized here that the longitudinal force F is generated automatically, so to speak, without further measures when it is inserted. If the connecting element 28 inserted into the longitudinal groove 18 is pressed into the profile rail together with the facing profile, a force acts on the laterally protruding arch 86, which acts essentially perpendicular to the plane of the drawing. Due to the design of the connecting element proposed according to the invention, a force deflection also takes place, so that the longitudinal force F explained above takes effect. Possibly. However, this longitudinal force F can also be applied additionally or partially from the outside.

Fig. 5 zeigt eine weitere Ausführungsform, und zwar in einem Schnitt ähnlich Fig. 2, wobei nunmehr die Längsnut 18 eine vergleichsweise geringe Breite 92 aufweist. Das Verbindungselement 28 ist hier als eine "Schnur" aus Gummi oder einem elastischen Kunststoff oder dergleichen hergestellt, und es erstreckt sich senkrecht zur Zeichenebene in Richtung der Längsachse. Das Verbindungselement 28 weist in Richtung der Längsachse also einen im wesentlichen konstanten Querschnitt auf, wobei dieser vor dem Einsetzen in die Profilschiene 2 etwa kreisringförmig war. Beim Einsetzen in die Profilschiene 2 wurde das Verbindungselement in Richtung der Längsachse gedehnt, wobei eine Querschnittsminderung derart erfolgte, daß die hier gestrichelt angedeutete Aussenkante 90 des Verbindungselements 28 an der Innenkante 94 der Profilschiene 2 vorbeigleiten konnte. Nachfolgend wurde die Längskraft von dem Verbindungselement 28 genommen mit der Folge, daß eine Querschnittserweiterung in der dargestellten Weise erfolgen konnte. Wie ersichtlich, drückt die Außenkante 90 auch noch etwas in das elastische Verbindungselement 28 ein, so daß nicht mehr der vollständige, ursprünglich kreisringförmige Querschnitt sich einstellt. Hierdurch wird in besonders einfacher Weise eine bleibende gegenseitige Verspannung von Verblendungsprofil 12 und Profilschiene 2 aufrechterhalten. Dies ist von maßgebender Bedeutung im Hinblick auf eine spielfreie Verbindung, wobei Fertigungstoleranzen ohne weiteres ausgeglichen werden. Erfindungsgemäß wird somit ein unbeabsichtigtes Verrutschen oder Verschieben des Verblendungsprofils 12 in der Profilschiene 2 unterbunden. Es ist somit auch bei dieser Ausführungsform ein federnder Bereich vorhanden, welcher der oben erläuterten Zunge entspricht.FIG. 5 shows a further embodiment, specifically in a section similar to FIG. 2, the longitudinal groove 18 now having a comparatively small width 92. The connecting element 28 is here as a "cord" made of rubber or an elastic plastic or the like, and it extends perpendicular to the plane of the drawing in the direction of the longitudinal axis. The connecting element 28 thus has a substantially constant cross section in the direction of the longitudinal axis, which was approximately circular in shape before being inserted into the profile rail 2. When inserted into the profile rail 2, the connecting element was stretched in the direction of the longitudinal axis, the cross-section being reduced in such a way that the outer edge 90 of the connecting element 28, which is indicated here by dashed lines, could slide past the inner edge 94 of the profile rail 2. The longitudinal force was subsequently removed from the connecting element 28, with the result that a cross-sectional expansion could take place in the manner shown. As can be seen, the outer edge 90 also presses somewhat into the elastic connecting element 28, so that the complete, originally circular cross section is no longer established. In this way, a permanent mutual bracing of the veneer profile 12 and profile rail 2 is maintained in a particularly simple manner. This is of crucial importance with regard to a play-free connection, whereby manufacturing tolerances are easily compensated for. According to the invention, an unintentional slipping or shifting of the facing profile 12 in the profile rail 2 is prevented. There is therefore also a resilient area in this embodiment, which corresponds to the tongue explained above.

Fig. 6 zeigt eine weitere Ausführungsform, bei welcher ein bogenförmiger Steg 62 vorhanden ist. Dieser Steg 62 liegt auf der Bodenfläche 38 auf, und er enthält bzw. bildet ferner die sich seitlich öffnende Längsnut 18. In der Längsnut 18 ist das elastisch federnde Verbindungselement 28 angeordnet, welches einen ringförmigen Querschnitt aufweist. Das Verbindungselement 28 liegt teilweise auch an der Innenkante der Profilschiene 2 an, wobei aufgrund entsprechender Dimensionierung auch eine Anpresskraft wirksam ist. Es wird eine in Richtung auf die Bodenfläche 38 gerichtete Kraftkomponente wirksam und mittels des Verbindungselements 28 ist somit eine zuverlässige Befestigung des Verblendungsprofiles 12 in der Führungsnut der Profilschiene 2 sichergestellt. In die gegenüberliegende Hinterschneidung 16 greift das Verblendungsprofil 12 mit einem Schenkel 24 ein. Dieser Schenkel 24 ist in seiner Formgebung entsprechend an die Kontur der Hinterschneidung 16 angepasst.Fig. 6 shows a further embodiment in which an arcuate web 62 is present. This web 62 rests on the bottom surface 38 and it also contains or forms the laterally opening longitudinal groove 18. The elastically resilient connecting element 28, which has an annular cross section, is arranged in the longitudinal groove 18. The connecting element 28 also partially abuts the inner edge of the profile rail 2, a contact pressure also being effective due to the corresponding dimensioning. A force component directed in the direction of the bottom surface 38 becomes effective and the connection element 28 thus ensures reliable fastening of the facing profile 12 in the guide groove of the profile rail 2. The facing profile 12 engages with one leg 24 in the opposite undercut 16. The shape of this leg 24 is adapted to the contour of the undercut 16.

Bei den oben erläuterten Ausführungsformen greift das Verblendungsprofil 12 jeweils mit einem Schenkel in die eine Hinterschneidung 16 ein, während für die gegenüberliegende Hinterschneidung das erfindungsgemäß ausgebildete und angeordnete Verbindungselement vorgesehen ist. Im Rahmen der Erfindung liegen aber auch solche Ausführungsformen, bei welchen das Verblendungsprofil in den beiden gegenüberliegenden Hinterschneidungen mit einem Verbindungselement in der oben erläuterten Weise befestigt ist.

Figure imgb0001
In the embodiments explained above, the facing profile 12 engages in one undercut 16 with one leg, while the connecting element designed and arranged according to the invention is provided for the opposite undercut. However, within the scope of the invention there are also embodiments in which the facing profile is fastened in the two opposite undercuts with a connecting element in the manner explained above.
