Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen rutschhemmenden Bodenoder Wandbelag, insbesondere für Schwimmbecken, aus nichtrostendem Metall-, wie Stahlblech, gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1.The invention relates to an anti-slip floor or wall covering, in particular for swimming pools, made of rustproof metal, such as sheet steel, according to the preamble of claim 1.

Derartige Beläge haben den Zweck, all jene begehbaren Flächen, wie im oder um das Schwimmbecken herum, mit einer Oberfläche zu versehen, die auch bei Nässe ein Ausgleiten der darübergehenden Personen, wie Badenden, verhindert. Dazu wurden schon Kunststoffoberflächen mit Rauhigkeiten in Form von Sandeinklebungen bekannt. Auch sogenannte Warzenbleche wurden verwendet. Das sind Bleche, die durch Profilwalzen beim letzten Walzstich Erhebungen auf der Oberseite erhalten, die in verschiedenen Richtungen orientiert sind und daher ein Ausgleiten in jeder Richtung verhindern. Sie ersetzen die früher verwendeten Rippen- oder Riffelbleche, die kreuzweise angeordnete Rippen und dazwischen Vertiefungen aufweisen, in denen Wasser stehen bleiben kann und die die Reinigung erschweren. Derartige Profilierungen an nichtrostenden Stahlblechen herzustellen, erfordert jedoch einen übermäßigen technischen Aufwand. Bei einem Bodenbelag für Flugplätze (FR-A-1 115 900) ist es bekannt, in ein Stahlblech kreisrunde Noppen einzupressen, die in verhältnismäßig großen Abständen und in versetzter Anordnung zueinander sich über die Blechfläche erheben. Ferner sind noch vertiefte Wasserablaufrinnen in dieses Blech eingeformt, so daß sich Erhebungen und Vertiefungen abwechseln. Die vertieften Ablaufrinnen haben wiederum große Noppenabstände sowie große Höhenunterschiede zur Folge, so daß mit den versetzt angeordneten Noppenoberflächen kein mit bloßen Füßen bequem und schmerzfrei begehbarer Belag geschaffen werden kann. Außerdem wird durch die Versetzung der Noppen sowie durch die Wasserablaufrinnen die Reinigung dieses Belages zur Erfüllung der hygienischen Anforderungen erheblich erschwert. Dieser bekannte Bodenbelag ist daher für Schwimmbäder od. dgl. Räume nicht brauchbar.The purpose of such coverings is to provide all those accessible surfaces, such as in or around the swimming pool, with a surface which prevents the persons above them, such as bathers, from slipping out even in the wet. Plastic surfaces with roughness in the form of glued-in sand have already become known. So-called wart plates were also used. These are sheets that are raised on the top by profile rolling during the last rolling pass, which are oriented in different directions and therefore prevent slipping in any direction. They replace the previously used ribbed or corrugated sheets, which have cross-shaped ribs and recesses in between, in which water can remain and which make cleaning more difficult. To produce such profiles on stainless steel sheets, however, requires an excessive technical effort. In the case of a floor covering for airfields (FR-A-1 115 900), it is known to press circular knobs into a steel sheet, which protrude from the sheet metal surface at relatively large distances and in an offset arrangement from one another. In addition, recessed water drainage channels are formed in this sheet, so that elevations and depressions alternate. The recessed drainage channels in turn result in large knob spacings and large differences in height, so that with the staggered knob surfaces it is not possible to create a covering that is easy and painless to walk on with bare feet. In addition, the relocation of the knobs and the water drainage channels make cleaning this covering to meet the hygienic requirements considerably more difficult. This known floor covering is therefore not usable for swimming pools or similar rooms.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen rutschhemmenden Boden- oder Wandbelag, insbesondere aus nichtrostendem Stahl, zu schaffen, der ein rutschsicheres und bequemes Begehen auch mit unbekleideten Füßen ermöglicht und der außerdem leicht zu reinigen ist.The invention is therefore based on the object of creating a non-slip floor or wall covering, in particular made of stainless steel, which enables non-slip and comfortable walking even with bare feet and which is also easy to clean.

Diese Aufgabe wird mit einem Boden- oder Wandbelag gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1 erfindungsgemäß durch die Kennzeichnungsmerkmale dieses Patentanspruches gelöst.This object is achieved with a floor or wall covering according to the preamble of claim 1 according to the invention by the characterizing features of this claim.

Eine vorteilhafte Weiterentwicklung der Erfindung ist in Anspruch 2 beansprucht.An advantageous further development of the invention is claimed in claim 2.

Ein erfindungsgemäß mit kreisrunden Noppen ausgestattetes Stahlblech ist weitgehend rutschsicher, da die Noppenoberfläche zu den Noppenabständen in eine solch günstige Beziehung gebracht ist, daß dieser Belag auch mit bloßen Füßen bequem und schmerzfrei betreten werden kann. Die in quadratischer Anordnung sich über eine ebene Blechfläche erhebenden Noppen ermöglichen außerdem einen ungehinderten Wasserablauf sowie ein leichtes Reinigen des Belages.A steel sheet equipped according to the invention with circular knobs is largely non-slip, since the knob surface is brought into such a favorable relationship with the knob spacings that this covering can be comfortably and painlessly stepped on even with bare feet. The knobs rising in a square arrangement over a flat sheet metal surface also allow unimpeded water drainage and easy cleaning of the covering.

Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand von Ausführungsbeispielen, die auch in der Zeichnung dargestellt sind, näher beschrieben. Es zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 einen Teilschnitt durch ein Noppenblech,
  • Fig. 2 eine Draufsicht auf dieses Noppenblech,
  • Fig. 3 einen Teilschnitt durch ein anderes Noppenblech und
  • Fig. 4 eine Draufsicht hierzu.
The invention is described below with reference to exemplary embodiments, which are also shown in the drawing. Show it:
  • 1 is a partial section through a knobbed sheet,
  • 2 is a plan view of this knobbed sheet,
  • Fig. 3 shows a partial section through another knobbed sheet and
  • Fig. 4 is a plan view of this.

Wie die Zeichnung erkennen läßt, ist ein ebenes Blech 1 von beispielsweise 1,5 bis 2,5 mm Stärke aus Chrom-Nickel-Stahl durch einen Prägestempel örtlich so verformt, daß ein Teil des Materials nach oben gedrückt ist, wodurch kreisrunde Erhebungen in Form von Noppen 2 mit etwa 9 mm Durchmesser und etwa 1,2 mm Höhe entstehen. An der Rückseite ergeben sich dabei Vertiefungen 3. Diese Vertiefungen sind in Einbaustellung nicht sichtbar und kommen daher weder ästhetisch noch funktionell, z.B. als Schmutzfang, zur Wirkung.As the drawing shows, a flat sheet 1 of, for example, 1.5 to 2.5 mm thick made of chromium-nickel steel is locally deformed by an embossing stamp so that part of the material is pressed upwards, thereby creating circular elevations of nubs 2 with about 9 mm in diameter and about 1.2 mm in height. There are indentations 3 on the rear side. These indentations are not visible in the installed position and are therefore neither aesthetically nor as dirt trap, for effect.

Die Erhebungen bzw. Noppen 2 sind in einem quadratischen Raster angeordnet, wobei das Rastermaß 20 bis 30 mm beträgt. Ein Noppendurchmesser von 6 bis 30 mm hat sich als sehr brauchbar erwiesen. Besonders vorteilhafte Noppen weisen einen Durchmesser von 7 bis 15 mm auf. Wie die Figuren zeigen, weisen auch die kreisrunden Noppen eine ebene Oberfläche auf, die sich beim Prägen mit einem entsprechenden Stempel ergibt. Während die verformten Bleche gemäß einer Ausführung nach den Fig. 1 und 2 sich besonders für Schwimmbeckenböden eignen, ist die Ausführung nach den Fig. 3 und 4 besonders für die Abstoßwände von Schwimmbecken zweckmäßig.The elevations or knobs 2 are arranged in a square grid, the grid dimension being 20 to 30 mm. A knob diameter of 6 to 30 mm has proven to be very useful. Particularly advantageous knobs have a diameter of 7 to 15 mm. As the figures show, the circular knobs also have a flat surface, which is obtained when stamping with a corresponding stamp. 1 and 2 are particularly suitable for swimming pool floors, the version according to FIGS. 3 and 4 is particularly useful for the kick walls of swimming pools.

Die Erfindung ist nicht auf diese Anwendungen beschränkt. So können auch Treppen, Beckenumgänge, Hubböden, Leitern und dgl. sowie naßbelastete Barfußbereiche damit ausgeführt werden.The invention is not limited to these applications. This means that stairs, pool surrounds, lifting floors, ladders and the like, as well as wet barefoot areas can also be executed.
