Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Dekorationskörper aus plattenförmigen Elementen, insbesondere Beleuchtungskörper aus Glasplatten, von denen jeweils mindestens zwei benachbarte Elemente mit Hilfe einer Befestigungsvorrichtung zusammengehalten werden, wobei die Befestigungsvorrichtung aufweist: ein Stützteil, das an den Außenseiten der mindestens zwei Elemente anliegt, ein mit dem Stützteil gekoppeltes Andrückteil, das relativ zu dem Stützteil bewegbar und an die Innenseiten der mindestens zwei Elemente andrückbar und in der angedrückten Lage fixierbar ist.The invention relates to a decorative body made of plate-shaped elements, in particular lighting elements made of glass plates, each of which at least two adjacent elements are held together with the aid of a fastening device, the fastening device comprising: a support part which bears on the outer sides of the at least two elements, one with the support part coupled pressing part, which is movable relative to the supporting part and can be pressed against the inner sides of the at least two elements and can be fixed in the pressed-on position.

Dekorationskörper sind beispielsweise flächige Elemente, die zur Verkleidung von Wänden und/oder Decken verwendet werden. Derartige Dekorationskörper bestehen aus einzelnen Platten, die mit Befestigungsvorrichtungen an der Wand bzw. der Decke, gegebenenfalls unter zusätzlicher Verwendung eines auf die Wand bzw. unter die Decke genagelten Gerüsts, befestigt werden. Bei als Deckenverkleidung verwendeten Dekorationskörpern werden z.B. mehrere matrixförmig angeordnete quadratische Platten durch an den Ecken der Platten befindliche Klemmvorrichtungen zusammengehalten,und der so gebildete Dekorationskörper wird unter der Decke aufgehängt.Decorative elements are, for example, flat elements that are used to clad walls and / or ceilings. Such decorative bodies consist of individual plates which are fastened to the wall or the ceiling with fastening devices, optionally with the additional use of a scaffold nailed to the wall or under the ceiling. For decorative bodies used as ceiling cladding, e.g. several matrix-shaped square plates are held together by clamping devices located at the corners of the plates, and the decorative body thus formed is suspended from the ceiling.

Eine andere Art von Dekorationskörpern sind Beleuchtungskörper, die entweder flächig zur Anbringung unter einer Decke oder an einer Wand ausgebildet sind, oder aber Bestandteil einer Lampe bzw. eines Leuchters sind. Bei solchen Beleuchtungskörpern sind z.B. mehrere quadratische, eine bestimmte Struktur aufweisende Glasplätten an einem Träger befestigt.Another type of decorative body are lighting fixtures, which are either flat for attachment under a ceiling or on a wall, or are part of a lamp or a chandelier. In the case of such lighting fixtures, for example, a plurality of square glass plates having a specific structure are attached to a carrier.

Die DE-PS 1 229 476 zeigt einen Dekorationskörper der obengenannten Art. Der Dekorationskörper ist in Form einer Leuchtenabdeckung ausgebildet. Die Leuchtenabdeckung besitzt eine Vielzahl von Glasplatten, die auf einem Traggerüst befestigt sind. Hierzu besitzen die einzelnen Glasplatten quer über ihre Oberfläche verlaufende Aufnahmenuten für die Stützteile der Haltekonstruktion sowie Löcher, durch die Schraubenbolzen gesteckt und in die Haltevorrichtung eingeschraubt werden können. Nachteilig bei diesen bekannten Dekorationskörpern ist, daß die Glasplatten in einem relativ großen Bereich von den Stützteilen bedeckt werden. Man ist häufig jedoch bestrebt, die Glasplatten, insbesondere bei Beleuchtungskörpern, möglichst frei zu lassen, damit möglichst viel Licht abgegeben werden kann.DE-PS 1 229 476 shows a decorative body of the type mentioned above. The decorative body is designed in the form of a lamp cover. The lamp cover has a variety of glass plates that are attached to a supporting frame. For this purpose, have the individual glass plates across its surface extending grooves for the supporting parts of the H-old construction and holes, inserted through the bolt and can be screwed into the holder. A disadvantage of these known decorative bodies is that the glass plates are covered by the supporting parts in a relatively large area. However, efforts are often made to leave the glass plates as free as possible, particularly in the case of lighting fixtures, so that as much light as possible can be emitted.

Aus der DE-PS 21 064 sind Dekorationskörper in Form von Decken- und Wandbekleidungen aus Glas bekannt, bei denen jeweils vier benachbarte Glasplatten an ihren eng benachbarten Ecken von einem Andrückring und einer in einer Unterlage geschraubten Schraube gegen die Unterlage gedrückt werden. Solche Dekorationskörper lassen sich also nur dort anbringen, wo eine Unterlage zur Verfügung steht, in die die Schrauben eingeschraubt werden können.From DE-PS 21 064 decorative bodies in the form of ceiling and wall coverings made of glass are known, in which four adjacent glass plates are pressed against the base at their closely adjacent corners by a pressure ring and a screw screwed into a base. Such decorative bodies can therefore only be attached where a base is available into which the screws can be screwed.

Aus dem DE-GM 80 09 799 sind Dekorationskörper in Form von Wand- und Deckenverkleidungen beschrieben, die aus einzelnen eckigen Platten bestehen, wobei mehrere Kanten benachbarter Platten von einer Halteplatte mit Hilfe einer Schraube gegen eine Unterlage gedrückt werden. Hier ist ebenfalls eine Unterlage zum Festschrauben der die dekorativen Platten andrückenden Halteplatten erforderlich. Es ist nun denkbar, in solchen Fällen, wo eine feste Unterlage nicht vorhanden ist, statt der Unterlage eine Gegenplätte zu nehmen, so daß ein von einer festen Unterlage unabhängiger Dekorationskörper erhalten werden kann, welcher z. B. an einer Decke aufgehängt werden kann. Mit den bekannten Konstruktionen ist aber einerseits ein zuverlässiger Zusammenhalt der einzelnen plattenförmigen Elemente nicht gewährleistet, weil die plattenförmigen Elemente nur durch Reibschluß festgehalten werden, andererseits ist die Montage sehr aufwendig, weil die jeweils benachbarten zusammengeklemmten Platten bei der Montage in ihrer Endposition gehalten werden müssen.From DE-GM 80 09 799 decorative body in the form of wall and ceiling coverings are described, which consist of individual square plates, several edges of adjacent plates are pressed by a holding plate with the help of a screw against a base. Here, too, a base for screwing the holding plates pressing on the decorative plates is required. It is now conceivable, in such cases where a firm base is not available, a counter plate instead of the base to take so that a decorative body independent of a solid base can be obtained, which z. B. can be hung on a ceiling. With the known constructions, on the one hand, reliable cohesion of the individual plate-shaped elements is not guaranteed because the plate-shaped elements are held in place only by friction, on the other hand, assembly is very complex because the adjacent plates clamped together must be held in their end position during assembly.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Dekorationskörper der oben genannten Art derart weiterzubilden, daß sich die plattenförmigen Elemente relativ rasch und mühelos miteinander verbinden lassen und daß darüber hinaus ein fester und sicherer Halt der Platten aneinander gewährleistet ist.The invention has for its object to develop a decorative body of the type mentioned above such that the plate-shaped elements can be connected to one another relatively quickly and effortlessly and that, moreover, a firm and secure hold of the plates to one another is ensured.

Bei einem Dekorationskörper der oben genannten Art wird diese Aufgabe erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß das Stützteil als rundes Plättchen oder Ring ausgebildet ist, auf dessen dem Andrückteil zugewandter Seite am Außenrand ein Ringflansch ausgebildet ist, der in jeweils eine am Rand der Außenseiten der Elemente ausgebildete Teilringnut eingreift.In a decorative body of the type mentioned above, this object is achieved according to the invention in that the supporting part is designed as a round plate or ring, on the side facing the pressing part of which an annular flange is formed on the outer edge, each of which is formed in a partial annular groove formed on the edge of the outer sides of the elements intervenes.

Wenn bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Dekorationskörper die Andrückteile fest angezogen sind, so sitzen die Ringflansche der Stützteile fest in benachbarten Teilnuten verschiedener plattenförmiger Elemente. Aufgrund der Ringflansche ist ein Ausweichen oder Lösen der plattenförmigen Elemente in deren Ebene nicht möglich. Die Elemente werden also durch Formschluß mit den Befestigungsvorrichtungen zusammengehalten. Die erfindungsgemäße Verbindung zwischen Befestigungsvorrichtung und plattenförmigem Element ist von besonderem Vorteil bei als Glasplatten ausgebildeten Elementen, da trotz eines relativ geringen Anlagedrucks die Glasplatten sicher zwischen Stützteil und Andrückteil gehalten werden können. Da nur ein geringer Bereich des Randes der Glasplatten erfaßt wird, bleibt die Hauptfläche der Glasplatten frei, was besonders vorteilhaft bei Beleuchtungskörpern oder dergleichen ist. Die Befestigungsvorrichtung besteht vorzugsweise aus Metall. Die Teilringnuten der Glasplatten lassen sich sehr leicht herstellen, sie können z.B. in die Ränder der Glasplatten eingefräst werden, wobei die Möglichkeit besteht, gleichzeitig in zwei mit ihren Rändern aneinanderliegende Glasplatten mit einem Fräsvorgang Teilnuten einzufräsen. Die Teilnuten können selbstverständlich auch beim Formen der Glasplatten gebildet werden.If the pressing parts are firmly tightened in the decorative body according to the invention, the ring flanges of the supporting parts are firmly seated in adjacent partial grooves of different plate-shaped elements. Because of the ring flanges, it is not possible to dodge or loosen the plate-shaped elements in their plane. The elements are held together by a positive connection with the fastening devices. The connection according to the invention between the fastening device and the plate-shaped element is special Advantage in the case of elements designed as glass plates, since the glass plates can be held securely between the support part and the pressing part, despite a relatively low contact pressure. Since only a small area of the edge of the glass plates is detected, the main surface of the glass plates remains free, which is particularly advantageous in the case of lighting fixtures or the like. The fastening device is preferably made of metal. The partial ring grooves of the glass plates can be produced very easily, for example, they can be milled into the edges of the glass plates, it being possible to simultaneously mill partial grooves in two glass plates lying against one another with their edges. The partial grooves can of course also be formed when molding the glass plates.

Grundsätzlich kann das Stützteil z.B. auch kreisrunden Querschnitt besitzen, wobei dann der Ringflansch ebenfalls kreisrund ist. In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist jedoch vorgesehen, daß das Stützteil ovalen Grundriß aufweist und der Ringflansch oval ist. Durch diese besondere Ausgestaltung der erfindungsgemäßen Befestigungsyorrichtungen können verschiedene Vorteile erzielt werden: Da das Stützteil oval, also länglich ist, kann zwischen zwei benachbarten, miteinander durch die Befestigungsvorrichtung verbundenen Platten ein beträchtlicher Zwischenraum überbrückt werden. Die Hauptachse des ovalen Stützteils läuft also bei z.B. quadratischen Glasplatten quer zu der Lücke, die zwischen benachbarten Kanten der Platten gebildet wird. Ein besonderer Vorteil ist darin zu sehen, daß beim Festziehen der Befestigungsvorrichtung, also beim Andrücken des Andrückteils gegen die Innenseite der Platten,'das Stützteil sich nur geringfügig in den zugehörigen Teilringnuten zu bewegen vermag. Nach einer gewissen Drehung klemmt das Stützteil aufgrund seiner ovalen Ausgestaltung in der Teilringnut fest, so daß das Stützteil unbeweglich ist und hierdurch die Möglichkeit einer einfachen Montage bietet. Beispielsweise kann mit dem Stützteil ein Schraubenbolzen verbunden sein, auf dessen freiem Ende das Andrückteil sitzt. Wird auf den Schraubenbolzen eine Mutter aufgeschraubt, so wird aufgrund der ovalen Gestalt des Stützteils das Festschrauben erheblich vereinfacht, weil sich der Schraubenbolzen und das Stützteil nicht mitdrehen. Grundsätzlich kann der Schraubenbolzen einstückig mit dem Stützteil ausgebildet sein.In principle, the support part can also have, for example, a circular cross section, in which case the ring flange is also circular. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, however, it is provided that the support part has an oval outline and the ring flange is oval. This particular configuration of the fastening devices according to the invention enables various advantages to be achieved: since the support part is oval, that is to say elongated, a considerable space can be bridged between two adjacent plates connected to one another by the fastening device. The main axis of the oval support part thus runs, for example with square glass plates, transversely to the gap which is formed between adjacent edges of the plates. A particular advantage can be seen in the fact that when the fastening device is tightened, that is to say when the pressing part is pressed against the inside of the plates, the supporting part is only slightly in the associated partial ring grooves is able to move. After a certain rotation, the support part clamps due to its oval configuration in the partial ring groove, so that the support part is immovable and thus offers the possibility of simple assembly. For example, a screw bolt can be connected to the support part, on the free end of which the pressure part sits. If a nut is screwed onto the screw bolt, tightening is made considerably easier due to the oval shape of the support part, because the screw bolt and the support part do not rotate. In principle, the screw bolt can be formed in one piece with the support part.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist jedoch der Schraubenbolzen im Hinblick auf eine möglichst einfache und kostensparende Herstellung nicht einstückig mit dem Stützteil ausgebildet, sondern das Stützteil wird von einem Schraubenbolzen mit Kopf aufgenommen, und an den Kopf schließt ein Abschnitt eckigen, vorzugsweise quadratischen Querschnitts des Bolzens an, auf welchem das mit einer öffnung entsprechenden Querschnitts versehene Stützteil unverdrehbar sitzt. Aufgrund des eckigen Querschnitts der öffnung ünd des genannten Abschnitts des Schraubenbolzens wird eine Relativverdrehung zwischen Schraubenbolzen und Stützteil verhindert.In a preferred embodiment, however, the screw bolt is not formed in one piece with the support part in order to make it as simple and cost-saving as possible, but the support part is received by a screw bolt with a head, and a section of an angular, preferably square cross section of the bolt adjoins the head , on which the support part provided with an opening corresponding cross-section sits non-rotatably. Due to the angular cross-section of the opening and the mentioned section of the bolt, a relative rotation between the bolt and the support part is prevented.

Alternativ kann der Bolzen auf seiner ganzen Länge runden Querschnitt haben und im Stützteil drehbar sein. Dies ist beispielsweise von Vorteil, wenn der Bolzen in andere Tragelemente eingeschraubt werden soll.Alternatively, the bolt can have a round cross-section over its entire length and can be rotated in the support part. This is advantageous, for example, if the bolt is to be screwed into other supporting elements.

Das Andrückteil ist vorzugsweise ein Andrückring, der auf den Schraubenbolzen sitzt und an einer auf den Schraubenbolzen aufgeschraubten Mutter anliegt. Eine derartig einfach aufgebaute Befestigungsvorrichtung ist relativ billig in der Herstellung und gewährleistet dennoch eine relativ rasche Montage des Dekorationskörpers.The pressing part is preferably a pressing ring which sits on the screw bolt and rests on a nut screwed onto the screw bolt. Such a simply constructed fastening device Tung is relatively cheap to manufacture and still ensures a relatively quick assembly of the decorative body.

Je nach Verwendung des Dekorationskörpers kann es ausreichen, wenn die erfindungsgemäße Befestigungsvorrichtung die plattenförmigen Elemente lediglich zusammenhält. Wird der Dekorationskörper z.B. unter einer Decke aufgehängt, oder wird er - als Beleuchtungskörper - an einem Lampengestell aufgehängt, so läßt sich eine solche Aufhängung in besonders einfacher Weise dadurch erreichen, daß das dem Kopf abgewandte Ende des Schraubenbolzens eine quer zur Bolzenachse verlaufende Bohrung zur Aufnahme eines Aufhängehakens oder dergleichen aufweist.Depending on the use of the decorative body, it may be sufficient if the fastening device according to the invention merely holds the plate-shaped elements together. If the decorative body e.g. Suspended under a ceiling, or if it is hung - as a lighting fixture - on a lamp frame, such a suspension can be achieved in a particularly simple manner in that the end of the screw bolt facing away from the head has a bore running transversely to the bolt axis for receiving a suspension hook or the like having.

Im Folgenden wird eine Ausführungsform der Erfindung anhand der Zeichnung näher erläutert. Es zeigen:

  • Figur 1 eine Seiten-Teilansicht eines als Leuchtenabdeckung ausgebildeten Dekorationskörpers;
  • Figur 2 eine teilweise geschnittene Detailansicht der in Figur 1 mit II bezeichneten Einzelheit und
  • Figur 3 eine perspektivische Ansicht eines Stützteils der in Figur 2 dargestellten Befestigungsvorrichtung.
An embodiment of the invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing. Show it:
  • Figure 1 is a partial side view of a decorative body designed as a lamp cover;
  • Figure 2 is a partially sectioned detailed view of the detail designated II in Figure 1 and
  • Figure 3 is a perspective view of a support member of the fastener shown in Figure 2.

Figur 1 zeigt einen Ausschnitt eines z.B. als Leuchtenabdeckung ausgebildeten Dekorationskörpers. Der Körper besteht aus mehreren jeweils identisch ausgebildeten Prismen-Glasplatten 3 quadratischen Grundrisses mit einer Kantenlänge von beispielsweise 5 cm. Der Beleuchtungskörper 1 ist mit Hilfe von Haken 2 an einer (nicht dargestellten) Tragvorrichtung aufgehängt. IFigure 1 shows a section of e.g. decorative body designed as a lamp cover. The body consists of several identical prismatic glass plates 3 square plan with an edge length of 5 cm, for example. The lighting fixture 1 is suspended from a support device (not shown) with the aid of hooks 2. I.

Benachbarte Glasplatten 3 werden mit Hilfe von Befestigungsvorrichtungen 4 zusammengehalten, wobei jeweils eine Befestigungsvorrichtung 4 im mittleren Bereich einer Kante einer Glasplatte 3 angeordnet ist. In Figur 1 besitzt der Beleuchtungskörper nur eine einzige Reihe von Glasplatten 3. Es versteht sich aber, daß ein Beleuchtungskörper auch ein ganzes Feld von Glasplatten 3 enthalten kann, wobei dann die Verbindung zwischen jeweils zwei benachbarten Glasplatten 3 stets über eine Befestigungsvorrichtung 4 erfolgt.Adjacent glass plates 3 are held together with the aid of fastening devices 4, one fastening device 4 each being arranged in the central region of an edge of a glass plate 3. In Figure 1, the lighting fixture has only a single row of glass plates 3. However, it goes without saying that a lighting fixture can also contain an entire array of glass plates 3, the connection between two adjacent glass plates 3 then always taking place via a fastening device 4.

Wie insbesondere Figur 2 zeigt, besteht die Befestigungsvorrichtung 4 im wesentlichen aus einem Stützteil 5 und einem Andruckring 6. Der Andruckring 6 wird über eine Federscheibe 7 von einer Schraube 8, die auf das freie Ende eines Schraubenbolzens 10 aufgeschraubt ist, gegen die Ränder der Innenseiten zweier benachbarter Glasplatten 3 gedrückt, wobei ein Kopf 12 des Schraubenbolzens 9 das Stützteil 5 gegen die Außenseiten der Glasplatten 3 preßt.As shown in Figure 2 in particular, the fastening device 4 consists essentially of a support member 5 and a pressure ring 6. The pressure ring 6 is via a spring washer 7 by a screw 8, which is screwed onto the free end of a bolt 10, against the edges of the inner sides pressed two adjacent glass plates 3, wherein a head 12 of the bolt 9 presses the support member 5 against the outer sides of the glass plates 3.

Der Schraubenbolzen besitzt in seinem Gewindeäbschnitt eine sich quer zu seiner Längsachse erstreckende öffnung 10, in die ein Haken 2 einhakbar ist. Zwischen dem Kopf 12 und der Bohrung befindet sich ein glatter Abschnitt 11 runden Querschnitts des Schraubenbolzens 9, und zwischen dem Kopf 12 und dem Abschnitt 11 befindet sich ein Abschnitt 13 quadratischen Querschnitts, dessen Aufgabe im Folgenden erläutert wird.In its threaded section, the screw bolt has an opening 10 which extends transversely to its longitudinal axis and into which a hook 2 can be hooked. Between the head 12 and the bore there is a smooth section 11 with a round cross section of the screw bolt 9, and between the head 12 and the section 11 there is a section 13 with a square cross section, the task of which is explained below.

Das Stützteil 5 hat, wie in Figur 3 gezeigt ist, die Form eines ovalen Plättchens 14 mit einem umlaufenden, ovalen Ringflansch 15. Der Ringflansch 15 hat etwa rechteckigen Querschnitt und ist etwas abgerundet, wie aus Figur 2 ersichtlich ist. In seiner Mitte besitzt das Plättchen 14 eine quadratische öffnung 16, die etwas größer bemessen ist als der Querschnitt des Abschnitts 13 des Schraubenbolzens 9. Wenn der Schraubenbolzen 9 soweit in das Stützteil 5 eingesetzt ist, daß der Kopf 12 an der Außenseite des Stützteils anliegt, verhindert der Abschnitt 13 in Verbindung mit der öffnung 16 eine Relativ-Verdrehung zwischen dem Stützteil 5 und dem Schraubenbolzen 9.As shown in FIG. 3, the support part 5 has the shape of an oval plate 14 with a circumferential, oval ring flange 15. The ring flange 15 has an approximately rectangular cross section and is somewhat rounded, as can be seen from FIG. In its center, the plate 14 has a square opening 16 which is dimensioned somewhat larger than the cross section of the section 13 of the screw bolt 9. If the screw bolt 9 is inserted into the support part 5 to such an extent that the head 12 lies against the outside of the support part, the section 13 in connection with the opening 16 prevents a relative Rotation between the support part 5 and the screw bolt 9.

In den einander gegenüberliegenden Randbereichen der Glasplatten 3 ist jeweils eine etwa halbkreisförmige Teilringnut 17 ausgebildet, in die ein Teil des Ringflansches 15 eingreift. Das Stützteil 5 erstreckt sich mit seiner Hauptachse, also in Längsrichtung,zwischen den beiden Glasplatten 3.In the opposite edge regions of the glass plates 3, an approximately semicircular partial annular groove 17 is formed, in which a part of the annular flange 15 engages. The supporting part 5 extends with its main axis, that is to say in the longitudinal direction, between the two glass plates 3.

Bei der Montage des Beleuchtungskörpers 1 ist die Mutter 8 soweit auf dem Schraubenbolzen 9 zurückgedreht, daß der Abstand zwischen dem Andruckring 6 und dem Stützteil 5 so groß ist, daß der Rand mit der Teilringnut17 der Glasplatte 3 in Richtung des Schraubenbolzens eingeschoben werden kann, der hochstehende Teil 18, der durch die Ringnut 17 gebildet wird, also gleichsam hinter den betreffenden Teil des Ringflansches 15 einhakt. Wenn beide Glasplatten eingehakt sind, kann die Mutter 8 angezogen werden, wobei die Federscheibe 7 ein geringfügiges Nachgeben des Andruckelements 6 ermöglicht. Beim Anziehen der Mutter 8 kann sich das Stützteil 5 und mithin der Schraubenbolzen 9 nur begrenzt um die Längsachse des Schraubenbolzens 9 bewegen, so daß keine weiteren Werkzeuge bei der Montage erforderlich sind. Auf einen Schlitz in dem Kopf 12 zum etwaigen Gegenhalten beim Anziehen der Mutter 8 kann verzichtet werden, so daß der Kopf 12 ein optisch vorteilhaftes Erscheinungsbild hat.When mounting the lighting fixture 1, the nut 8 is turned back so far on the screw bolt 9 that the distance between the pressure ring 6 and the support part 5 is so large that the edge with the ring groove 17 of the glass plate 3 can be inserted in the direction of the screw bolt upstanding part 18, which is formed by the annular groove 17, so hooks as it were behind the relevant part of the ring flange 15. If both glass plates are hooked in, the nut 8 can be tightened, the spring washer 7 allowing the pressure element 6 to yield slightly. When the nut 8 is tightened, the support part 5 and therefore the screw bolt 9 can only move about the longitudinal axis of the screw bolt 9 to a limited extent, so that no further tools are required during assembly. There is no need for a slot in the head 12 to counteract when tightening the nut 8, so that the head 12 has an optically advantageous appearance.
