Abstract

1. Device for constructing air passages for dammed or ventilated brickwork consisting of individual bricks (6, 7) with joints arranged in each case between adjacent bricks (6 and 7), a pipe-like square element being insertable in the plane of the wall of the brickwork as a substitute joint having openings (9), characterised in that the square element (1) comprises clamping straps (7, 8) arranged at right angles relative to the longitudinal axis and opposite to one another as a continuation of its upper and lower sides (2, 3) towards the lateral reception of bricks.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Vorrichtung zur Bildung von Luftdurchtritten für gedämmtes bzw. hinterlüftetes Mauerwerk aus einzelnen Mauersteinen mit zwischen den jeweils benachbarten Mauersteinen angeordneten. Fugen, wobei ein rohrartiges Vierkantelement als Fugenersatz mit öffnungen in der Wandungsebene des Mauerwerks einsetzbar ist.The invention relates to a device for forming air passages for insulated or ventilated masonry from individual bricks with arranged between the adjacent bricks. Joints, whereby a tubular square element can be used as a joint replacement with openings in the wall plane of the masonry.

Durch diese bekannte Ausbildung gemäß DE-A-2 223 497 ist es bekannt, daß entsprechende Fugen im Mauerwerk zwischen den Mauersteinen durch ein Vierkantelement ausgefüllt werden. Hierbei werden die Probleme beseitigt, daß durch Mörtelreste diese Durchtritte sich zumindest zum Teil zusetzen und diese dann von Mörtelresten individuell durch Ausstemmen der Durchtritte befreit werden müssen, wobei Kanten der Mauersteine beschädigt werden und somit keine sauber ausgebildete Außenwandung erzielbar ist.Through this known design according to DE-A-2 223 497 it is known that corresponding joints in the masonry between the bricks are filled by a square element. Here, the problems are eliminated that mortar residues at least partially clog these passages and then these must be freed from mortar residues individually by chiseling out the passages, the edges of the bricks being damaged and therefore no cleanly formed outer wall being achievable.

Bei dieser Anordnung besteht der Mangel, daß das Vierkantelement relativ mühsam einsetzbar ist und oftmals ein Verkanten bzw. ein Versatz des Vierkantelementes auftritt. Da keine Bindung zu den Stirnseiten der benachbarten Steine besteht, kommt es in der Praxis vor, daß das Vierkantelement sich auch noch nachträglich verschiebt und sogar beim Aufmauern der nächsten Steinschicht noch eine Verschiebung eintritt. Es ist somit beim Einsetzen und Ausrichten derartiger Vierkantelemente ein erheblicher Zeitaufwand erforderlich, der insbesondere durch die geringen Abmessungen noch erhöht wird. Somit wird der Zeitaufwand entsprechend der Herstellung einer angegebenen Stoßfuge als Luftdurchtritt aus Mörtel nicht herabgesetzt.With this arrangement, there is a defect that the square element can be used relatively laboriously and that the square element often tilts or is offset. Since there is no bond to the end faces of the adjacent stones, in practice it happens that the square element also shifts later and even when the next stone layer is bricked up there is still a shift. It is thus a considerable amount of time required when inserting and aligning such square elements, which is increased in particular by the small dimensions. This means that the time required to produce a specified joint as an air passage from mortar is not reduced.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, Luftdurchtritte der gattungsgemäßen Art zu verbessern und durch eine einfache Ausgestaltung eine wirtschaftliche Einbauweise zu ermöglichen, die eine Beibehaltung der Einbaulage gewährleistet und keine Ausrichtung erforderlich macht.The object of the invention is to improve air passages of the generic type and, by means of a simple design, to enable an economical installation method which ensures that the installation position is maintained and does not require alignment.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe erfolgt erfindungsgemäß dadurch, daß das Vierkantelement etwa rechtwinklig zur Längsachse gegenüberliegende Klemmlaschen etwa in Fortsetzung seiner Ober- und Unterseite zur seitlichen Mauersteinaufnahme aufweist.This object is achieved according to the invention in that the square element has clamping tabs lying approximately at right angles to the longitudinal axis, approximately in continuation of its upper and lower sides to the lateral brick receptacle.

Hierdurch tritt der Vorteil ein, daß das Vierkantelement über die Klemmlaschen zur Schaffung eines Luftdurchtritts auf einen Mauerstein vor dem eigentlichen Mauervorgang seitlich aufgesetzt wird und somit die entsprechende Fuge ersetzt. Es ist damit keine individuelle Ausrichtung mehr erforderlich und eine nachträgliche Verschiebung durch äußere Belastungen tritt nicht auf. Es ist dadurch kein zusätzlicher Zeitaufwand für die Ausbildung von Luftdurchtritten erforderlich.This has the advantage that the square element is placed laterally over the clamping tabs to create air passage on a brick before the actual brickwork and thus replaces the corresponding joint. There is no longer any need for individual alignment and there is no subsequent shifting due to external loads. This means that no additional time is required for the formation of air passages.

Eine einfache Ausgestalung zur besseren Halterung besteht darin, daß die Klemmlaschen elastisch ausgebildet sind und einen geringen Anstellwinkel zueinander aufweisen.A simple embodiment for better mounting is that the clamping tabs are elastic and have a small angle of attack to one another.

Um einen Schutz für den Eintritt von Ungeziefer zu ermöglichen, wird vorgeschlagen, daß die Außenöffnung des Vierkantelementes mit einem Abdecksieb versehen ist, das über gegenüberliegende, federnde Wangen in das Vierkantelement einsetzbar und über Halterungen einrastbar angeordnet ist. Es ist zwar nach der US-A-3 429 084 bekannt, Abdecksiebe einzusetzen, aber diese lassen sich durch Fremdeinwirkung leicht herausnehmen bzw. in den Lüftungsschlitz hineinstoßen, so daß sie dann keine Wirkung entfalten. Eine konkrete Ausführungsform besteht darin, daß die Wangen des Abdecksiebes nach außen weisende Haltenocken bzw. Stifte aufweisen, die in korrespondierende Aufnahmen am Vierkantelement einrastbar sind.In order to provide protection against the entry of vermin, it is proposed that the outer opening of the square element be provided with a cover screen which can be inserted into the square element via opposite, resilient cheeks and which can be latched in via brackets. Although it is known from US Pat. No. 3,429,084 to use cover screens, these can easily be removed by external influences or pushed into the ventilation slot so that they then have no effect. A specific embodiment consists in that the cheeks of the cover screen have outwardly pointing retaining cams or pins which can be snapped into corresponding receptacles on the square element.

Eine günstige Ausbildung wird dadurch geschaffen, daß das Vierkantelement im Bereich seiner Seitenflächen Aussparungen zur Materialeinsparung aufweist.A favorable design is created in that the square element has cutouts in the area of its side surfaces to save material.

Die dargestellte Vorrichtung besteht aus einem rohrartigen Vierkantelement 1 mit entsprechenden Ober- und Unterseiten 2,3 und Seitenflächen 4,5. Die äußeren Abmessungen des Vierkantelementes 1 sind entsprechend einer Mauerfuge zwischen zwei Mauersteinen b,/ und seiner Tiefe gewählt. Etwa rechtwinklig zur Längseachse-des Vierkantelementes 1 sind in Fortsetzung der Ober- und Unterseite 2,3 Klemmlaschen 1 und 8 angeordnet, um eine seitliche Aufnahme des Mauersteines 6 zu gewährleisten. Hierzu sind die Klemmlaschen 1 und 8 elastisch ausgebildet und besitzen einen geringen Anstallwinkel zueinander.The device shown consists of a tubular square element 1 with corresponding upper and lower sides 2, 3 and side surfaces 4, 5. The outer dimensions of the square element 1 are chosen according to a wall joint between two bricks b, / and its depth. Approximately at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the square element 1, 2.3 clamping tabs 1 and 8 are arranged in continuation of the upper and lower sides in order to ensure that the brick 6 is received laterally. For this purpose, the clamping tabs 1 and 8 are elastic and have a small angle to each other.

Zur Bildung eines Durchtritts wird das Vierkantelemant 1 Uber die Klemmlaschen 7 und 8 auf einen Mauerstain 6 seitlich aufgesetzt und mit dem Mauerstein als Einheit verarbeitet.To form a passage, the four-sided element 1 is placed laterally over the clamping tabs 7 and 8 on a wall stile 6 and processed with the brick as a unit.

Zusätzlich ist vorgesehen, die Eintrittsöffnung 9 mit einem Abdecksieb 10 zu versehen. Hierzu sind am Abdecksieb 10 beiderseits Wangen 11 angeordnet, die in das Vierkantalement 1 zur Halterung federnd eingreifen. Gegebenenfalls sind an den Wangen 11 nach außen weisende Haltenocken bzw. Stifte 12 vorgasehen, die in korrespondierende Aufnahmen 13 am Vierkantelement 1 einrasten.In addition, it is provided to provide the inlet opening 9 with a cover sieve 10. For this purpose, cheeks 11 are arranged on both sides of the covering sieve 10, which engage resiliently in the square element 1 for holding purposes. If necessary, holding cams or pins 12 pointing outward are cheeked on the cheeks 11 and engage in corresponding receptacles 13 on the square element 1.
