Abstract

Bei einem mittels Profilschienen 1 zusammengefügten rechteckigen Grundrahmen zum Aufbau eines aus einer Mehrzahl zusammengefügter Grundrahmen bestehenden Rahmenfachwerks, wobei die Grundrahmen mit Hilfe von Verbindungselementen 10 miteinander verbunden sind, wobei die Profilschienen 1 in Längsrichtung eine sich zum Schieneninneren hin erweiternde Nut 2, sowie längs einer zur Nut 2 parallelen Außenseite eine U-förmige Einhängeschiene 3 zur Aufnahme von in den Grundrahmen einsetzbaren Platten 7 aufweisen, und wobei die offenen Seiten der Nut 2 und der Einhängeschiene 3 diametral zueinander ausgerichtet sind, bestehen die Verbindungselemente 10 in an sich bekannter Weise aus einem Stück Flachmaterial, dessen Längsseiten zur Erweiterung der Nut 2 komplementäre rippenförmige Vorsprünge aufweisen. Diese Vorsprünge sind derart federnd ausgebildet, daß sie in je eine Nut 2 zweier benachbarter zu verbindender Grundrahmen einschappbar sind. Auf der Grundlage dieser konstruktiven Konzeption werden insbesondere Displaywände oder Ausstellungstheken, aber auch z.B. anderweitige Einrichtungsgegenstände zusammengefügt. Durch die besondere Ausbildung der zueinander komplementären "Rastmittel" (rippenförmige Vorsprünge und Nut) ist ein leichter und häufiger Aufbau der genannten Einrichtungsgegenstande möglich.In a rectangular base frame joined together by means of profile rails 1 for the construction of a framework framework consisting of a plurality of base frames joined together, the base frames being connected to one another with the aid of connecting elements 10, the profile rails 1 extending in the longitudinal direction with a groove 2 widening towards the interior of the rail and along one to Groove 2 parallel outside have a U-shaped hanging rail 3 for receiving plates 7 which can be inserted into the base frame, and the open sides of the groove 2 and the hanging rail 3 are diametrically aligned with one another, the connecting elements 10 consist in a manner known per se from one piece Flat material, the long sides of which have complementary rib-shaped projections for widening the groove. These projections are designed such that they can be snapped into a groove 2 of two adjacent base frames to be connected. On the basis of this constructive concept, display walls or exhibition counters in particular, but also e.g. other furnishings put together. The special design of the mutually complementary "latching means" (rib-shaped projections and groove) makes it easier and more common to assemble the items of furniture mentioned.

Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen aus Profilschienen zusammengesetzten Grundrahmen nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The present invention relates to a base frame composed of profile rails according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

Derartige Grundrahmen sind bekannt; sie dienen vorzugsweise zum Aufbau sogenannter Displaysysteme in Form von zweidimensionalen Schauwänden oder in Form von dreidimensionalen Rahmenfachwerken, wie z.B. Ausstellungstheken.Such basic frames are known; They are preferably used to set up so-called display systems in the form of two-dimensional display walls or in the form of three-dimensional frameworks, such as Exhibition counters.

Displaysysteme der gattungsgemäßen Art sind an sich in vielfältiger Weise bekannt und zwar in Form von Einhängesystemen, Schraubsystemen und auch Stecksystemen. Beim Aufbau dieser bekannten Systeme benötigt man stets mehr oder weniger viel und spezielles Werkzeug.Display systems of the generic type are known in a variety of ways, namely in the form of hanging systems, screw systems and also plug systems. When building these known systems you always need more or less much and special tools.

Die der vorliegenden Erfindung zugrunde liegende Aufgabe besteht darin, einen Grundrahmen mit zugehörigen Verbindungselementen anzugeben, auf deren Grundlage ohne jegliches Werkzeug Displaywände oder Rahmenfachwerke beliebiger Art und Abwandlungen, bis hin zu z.B. Sitzgelegenheiten, zusammengefügt werden können.The object on which the present invention is based is to specify a base frame with associated connecting elements, on the basis of which display walls or frame trusses of any type and modifications, up to e.g. Seating that can be put together.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die im kennzeichnenden Teil des Patentanspruchs 1 angegebenen Merkmale gelöst.

Fig. 1 zeigt ein erstes Ausführungsbeispiel einer erfindungsgemäßen Profilschiene 1. Die Grundform ist ein Rundprofil und zwar ein Hohlprofil mit einer ganz spezifischen Außenkontur.1 shows a first exemplary embodiment of a profile rail 1 according to the invention. The basic shape is a round profile, specifically a hollow profile with a very specific outer contour.

Geht man zur Vereinfachung der Beschreibung von einem Zylinderrohr aus, so erhält dieses Zylinderrohr von der Mantelseite ausgehend eine zur Achse hin gerichtete Einziehung, die im weiteren als Nut 2 bezeichnet ist. Diese Nut 2 ist speziell so gestaltet, daß von den am Umfang des Zylinderrohrs liegenden Kanten der Nut 2 zur Achse hin eine vorzugsweise kreisrunde Erweiterung vorgesehen ist. Im Zylinderrohr ist also eine sich im Inneren erweiternde Nut 2 vorgesehen, deren freie Kanten einen Widerstand für einen in die Nut eingesetzten, der Erweiterung angepaßten Gegenstand bilden.If one starts from a cylinder tube to simplify the description, this cylinder tube, starting from the jacket side, receives a recess directed towards the axis, which is referred to below as groove 2. This groove 2 is specially designed so that a preferably circular extension is provided from the edges of the groove 2 lying on the circumference of the cylinder tube towards the axis. A groove 2, which widens in the interior, is therefore provided in the cylinder tube, the free edges of which form a resistance for an object which is inserted into the groove and is adapted to the expansion.

Neben der Nut 2 von der Außenseite her ist eine U-förmige Einhängeschiene 3 vorgesehen. Diese Einhängeschiene ist derart ausgebildet, daß etwa in der Verlängerung der einen Wange der Nut 2 das Zylinderrohr so eingezogen ist, daß etwa mittig zur Erweiterung der Nut 2 an deren Wand anschließend ein zur genannten Einziehung lotrecht ausgerichteter Steg 4 vorgesehen ist, und daß das Zylinderrohrstück, das an die Nut 2 anschließt und in Richtung Steg 4 führt, über den Steg 4 hinaus verlängert ist. Damit verbleibt oberhalb des Stegs 4 eine U-förmige Einhängeschiene 3 mit ungleichen Schenkeln.In addition to the groove 2 from the outside, a U-shaped suspension rail 3 is provided. This suspension rail is designed such that approximately in the extension of the one cheek of the groove 2, the cylinder tube is drawn in such a way that approximately perpendicular to the extension of the groove 2 on the wall there is subsequently provided a web 4 which is oriented perpendicularly to the retraction, and that the cylinder tube piece , which connects to the groove 2 and leads in the direction of the web 4, is extended beyond the web 4. This leaves a U-shaped suspension rail 3 with unequal legs above the web 4.

Die Profilschienen 1 weisen also einmal eine Nut 2 auf, die zentral angeordnet 1; zum zweiten weisen sie die U-förmige Einhängeschiene 3 auf, die quasi seitlich am Zylinderrohr vorgesehen ist. Nut 2 und Einhängeschiene 3 sind diametral zueinander ausgerichtet.The profile rails 1 thus once have a groove 2, which is arranged centrally 1; secondly, they have the U-shaped suspension rail 3, which is provided on the side of the cylinder tube. Groove 2 and suspension rail 3 are aligned diametrically to one another.

Die letztgenannte U-förmige Einhängeschiene 3 dient bei einem zusammengefügten Grundrahmen zur Aufnahme von "Informationsträgern" 7, oder auch zur Aufnahme von Glasplatten oder ähnlichem. Die Nut 2 dient zur Verbindung benachbarter Grundrahmen mittels eines Verbindungselements 10. Dieses besteht aus einem Flachmaterial, bei dem zwei den Nuten 2 der Profilschienen entsprechende, die rippenförmigen Vorsprünge bildenden klauenartige Erweiterungen vorgesehen sind, die in jeweils eine Nut zweier Grundrahmen eingeclipst werden. Damit bilden zwei Grundrahmen eine Einheit und sie können übereinander im Raum aufgestellt werden. Mit jeweils z.B. zwei Verbindungselementen 10 je zu verbindender Seite eines Grundrahmens läßt sich somit ein beliebiges Rahmenfachwerk aufbauen und zwar ohne Werkzeug nur auf der Basis der in die Nuten 2 der Profilschienen 1 einzuclipsenden Verbindungselemente 10.The last-mentioned U-shaped suspension rail 3 is used to accommodate an assembled base frame "Information carriers" 7, or for receiving glass plates or the like. The groove 2 is used to connect adjacent base frames by means of a connecting element 10. This consists of a flat material in which two claw-like extensions corresponding to the grooves 2 of the profile rails, which form the rib-shaped projections, are provided, which are each clipped into a groove of two base frames. This means that two basic frames form a unit and they can be placed one above the other in the room. With, for example, two connecting elements 10 for each side of a base frame to be connected, any frame framework can thus be constructed, and without tools, only on the basis of the connecting elements 10 to be clipped into the grooves 2 of the profile rails 1.

Fig. 2 zeigt eine zweite Ausführungsform der Kombination Profilschiene/Verbindungselement. Die Grundform der Profilschiene 1 entspricht der aus Fig. 1. In Weiterbildung hierzu ist die Nut 2 zum Mittelpunkt des Zylinderrohrs hin über eine rechteckige zweite Nut 15 verlängert. Dieser zweiten Nut 15 entsprechend ist das Verbindungselement 10 dahingehend modifiziert, daß die Breite des Flachmaterials über die klauenartigen Erweiterungen 11 hinaus vergrößert ist; der genannte Überstand fügt sich dann formschlüssig in die genannten zweiten Nuten 15 ein. Zur zusätzlichen Abstützung des Verbindungselements 10 an der Nut 2 der Profilschiene ist am Schaft des Verbindungselements 10 in entsprechendem Abstand vom Profilzapfen 12 eine ringförmige Erweiterung 13 vorgesehen. Diese Erweiterung stützt sich an beiden benachbarten Profilschienen 1 ab und definiert quasi den Abstand, d.h. den Abstand zwischen zwei benachbarten Grundrahmen.Fig. 2 shows a second embodiment of the combination profile rail / connecting element. The basic shape of the profile rail 1 corresponds to that of FIG. 1. In a further development, the groove 2 is extended towards the center of the cylinder tube via a rectangular second groove 15. Corresponding to this second groove 15, the connecting element 10 is modified such that the width of the flat material is increased beyond the claw-like extensions 11; the above-mentioned projection then fits into said second grooves 15 in a form-fitting manner. For additional support of the connecting element 10 on the groove 2 of the profile rail, an annular extension 13 is provided on the shaft of the connecting element 10 at a corresponding distance from the profile pin 12. This extension is supported on both adjacent rails 1 and quasi defines the distance, i.e. the distance between two neighboring base frames.

In bevorzugter Ausführung bestehen die der Erweiterung der Nut 2 entsprechenden klauenartigen Erweiterungen 11 aus einem weichelastischen Material, die dabei angeschweißt sind.In a preferred embodiment, the claw-like extensions 11 corresponding to the expansion of the groove 2 consist of a soft elastic material, which are welded on.

Fig. 3 zeigt eine weitere Ausführungsform der Verbindungselemente 10. Hierbei sind längs des den Grundkörper der Verbindungselemente 10 bildenden Flachmaterials zwei Paar sich gegenüberliegender schwalbenschwanzförmiger Vertiefungen 17 eingearbeitet. In diese Vertiefungen 17 sind je (mindestens) eine Blattfeder 16 eingeklemmt, die so dimensioniert sind, daß sie sich an die Wandungen der Nuten 2 der Profilschiene 1 form- und kraftschlüssig anlegen.FIG. 3 shows a further embodiment of the connecting elements 10. Here, two pairs of dovetail-shaped depressions 17 lying opposite one another are incorporated along the flat material forming the basic body of the connecting elements 10. In these recesses 17 each have (at least) one leaf spring 16 clamped, which are dimensioned such that they rest on the walls of the grooves 2 of the profile rail 1 in a positive and non-positive manner.

Gemäß der Darstellung von Fig. 3 ist in Abwandlung der Ausführung nach Fig. 1 und Fig. 2 lotrecht zur Achse der Nut 2 in der Ebene der Achse der kreisringförmigen Erweiterung je eine weitere Nut 18 vorgesehen. In diese Nut 18 kann bei Bildung von Eckverbindungen mit je zweien der auf Gehrung geschnittenen Profilschienen 1 jeweils ein steifes Winkelstück als Stabilisator eingesetzt werden.According to the representation of FIG. 3, a further groove 18 is provided in a modification of the embodiment according to FIGS. 1 and 2 perpendicular to the axis of the groove 2 in the plane of the axis of the annular extension. In this groove 18 can be used as a stabilizer when forming corner connections with two of the miter-cut rails 1 each a stiff angle piece.

Fig. 4 zeigt ein Verbindungselement 10 gemäß der Ausführungsform nach Fig. 3 in perspektivischer Darstellung. Das Kernstück des Verbindungselements 10 ist das Flachmaterialstück, in welches in Abwandlung zum Verbindungselement 10 nach Fig.3 nur auf einer Seite zwei Vertiefungen 17 eingearbeitet sind. In diese Vertiefungen 17 sind jeweils eine oder zwei Blattfedern eingeclipst. Mit einem Verbindungselement 10 der in Fig. 4 gezeigten Form können je zwei Platten 7 bzw. zwei Grundrahmen zusammengefügt werden, wobei die Blattfedern 16 dann eine form- und kraftschlüssige Verbindung zwischen diesen Grundrahmen bewirken und gewährleisten.FIG. 4 shows a connecting element 10 according to the embodiment according to FIG. 3 in a perspective view. The core of the connecting element 10 is the flat material piece, into which, as a modification to the connecting element 10 according to FIG. 3, two depressions 17 are incorporated only on one side. One or two leaf springs are clipped into each of these recesses 17. With a connecting element 10 of the form shown in FIG. 4, two plates 7 or two base frames can be joined together, the leaf springs 16 then create and ensure a positive and non-positive connection between these base frames.

Wichtig bzw. ausschlaggebend ist, daß die Blattfedern 16 über die Ebene des Flachmaterials vorstehen und so die rippenartigen Vorsprünge zum Einrasten in die Nut 2 bilden.It is important or decisive that the leaf springs 16 protrude beyond the plane of the flat material and thus form the rib-like projections for snapping into the groove 2.

Fig. 5 zeigt ein Verbindungselement 10' , das zum Aufbau eines dreidimensionalen Rahmenfachwerks als EckVerbindung dient. Dieses Verbindungselement 10' besteht aus zwei Platten 19, deren Breite etwa der halben Breite des Flachmaterials entspricht. Die eine Längsseite dieser Platten 19 ist zur Bildung eines Scharniers ausgeschnitten und zwar sind beide zueinander komplementär so ausgeschnitten, daß über einen durch den verbleibenden Materialansatz gesteckten Stift ein Scharnierelement entsteht. Analog zur Ausbildung des Verbindungselements nach Fig. 3 ist dabei auf jeder Platte 19 eine Blattfeder 16 in eine entsprechende Vertiefung 17 eingesetzt.Fig. 5 shows a connecting element 10 ', which serves to build a three-dimensional framework as a corner connection. This connecting element 10 'consists of two plates 19, the width of which corresponds to approximately half the width of the flat material. One long side of these plates 19 is cut out to form a hinge, and both are cut complementarily to one another in such a way that a hinge element is formed by a pin inserted through the remaining material. 3, a leaf spring 16 is inserted into a corresponding recess 17 on each plate 19.

Mit einem Scharnierelement gemäß Fig. 5 läßt sich somit z.B. eine Türeinhängung für ein komplettes Rahmenfachwerk bilden (vgl. auch Fig. 7).With a hinge element according to FIG. 5, e.g. form a door suspension for a complete framework (see also Fig. 7).

Für starre Eckverbund-Konzeptionen benachbarter Grundrahmen läßt sich das Scharnierelement nach Fig. 5 auch als starres Verbindungselement 10 auf der Grundlage eines gleichschenkligen L-Stücks ausbilden.For rigid corner composite designs of adjacent base frames, the hinge element according to FIG. 5 can also be designed as a rigid connecting element 10 on the basis of an isosceles L-piece.

Ferner läßt sich mit einem sogenannten T-Stück, dessen drei Schenkellängen gleich sind, und zwar etwa gleich breit wie die halbe Breite des Flachmaterials nach Fig. 3 und 4, aueh ein Verbindungselement für drei aneinander anstoßende Grundrahmen bilden. Dabei ist auf jedem der drei Schenkel zwecks Einclipsen in die Profilschienen ein rippenartiger Vorsprung vorgesehen.Furthermore, with a so-called T-piece, the three leg lengths of which are the same, namely approximately the same width as half the width of the flat material according to FIGS. 3 and 4, a connecting element for three can also be used form mutually abutting base frames. A rib-like projection is provided on each of the three legs for clipping into the profile rails.

Fig. 6 zeigt ein Verbindungselement 10 in einfachster Ausführungsform. Dieses besteht aus einem Flachmaterial, an dessen Oberfläche durch entsprechende materialabhebende Bearbeitung zwei rippenartige Vorsprünge 16' parallel zueinander in Längsrichtung vorgesehen sind bzw. stehen gelassen wurden. Dieses Verbindungselement 10 kann - analog zu den Beispielen nach Fig. 3 und 4 - seitlich an eine Profilschiene angesetzt und eingeclipst werden; eine zweite Profilschiene wird dann über die zweite Seite gesteckt und ebenfalls eingeclipst. Damit ergibt sich eine fixierte Rahmenverbindung, wobei vorausgesetzt ist, daß die Außenseiten der Nuten 2 der Profilschienen 1 elastisch genug sind, um über die rippenartigen Vorsprünge 16' schnappen zu können.6 shows a connecting element 10 in the simplest embodiment. This consists of a flat material, on the surface of which two rib-like projections 16 ′ are provided or left to stand parallel to one another in the longitudinal direction by appropriate material-removing processing. This connecting element 10 can - analogously to the examples according to FIGS. 3 and 4 - be attached to the side of a profile rail and clipped in; a second profile rail is then placed over the second side and also clipped in. This results in a fixed frame connection, provided that the outer sides of the grooves 2 of the profile rails 1 are elastic enough to be able to snap over the rib-like projections 16 '.

Fig. 7 zeigt einen Ausschnitt aus einer Displaywand. Drei Grundrahmen 20 sind bereits mittels Verbindungselementen 10 zusammengefügt, wobei - wie ersichtlich - der linke Grundrahmen 20 im Winkel zu den anderen Grundrahmen steht. Dies ist in einfacher Weise über als Scharnierelement nach Fig. 5 ausgebildete Verbindungselemente möglich. Ein weiterer Grundrahmen 20' wird gerade auf die Verbindungselemente 10 aufgesetzt, so daß das Rahmenfachwerk über einem nach oben anschließenden Grundrahmen 20' fortgesetzt ist.Fig. 7 shows a section of a display wall. Three base frames 20 are already joined together by means of connecting elements 10, the left base frame 20 being at an angle to the other base frames, as can be seen. This is possible in a simple manner via connecting elements designed as hinge elements according to FIG. 5. Another base frame 20 'is just placed on the connecting elements 10, so that the framework is continued over a base frame 20' adjoining upwards.

Gemäß Fig. 8 ist eine Transporteinheit zum Transport einer Mehrzahl von Grundrahmen dargestellt. Diese Transporteinheit besteht im Prinzip aus einer Schiene 30, an der eine Mehrzahl von Aufnahmestegen 31 vorgesehen ist. Diese Aufnahmestege 31 stehen von der Schiene 30 ab; sie sind an ihrem freien Ende analog zu den Verbindungselementen der Nut der Profilschienen 1 entsprechend ausgebildet. Der Abstand der Aufnahmestege 31 zueinander ist durch den Außendurchmesser der Profilschienen 1 bestimmt.8 shows a transport unit for transporting a plurality of base frames. This transport unit basically consists of a rail 30, on which a plurality of receiving webs 31 is provided. These receiving webs 31 protrude from the rail 30; at their free end they are designed correspondingly to the connecting elements of the groove of the profile rails 1. The distance between the receiving webs 31 from one another is determined by the outer diameter of the profile rails 1.

Für den Transport werden nun die kompletten Grundrahmen mit einer Profilschienen-Seite nacheinander in die Aufnahmestege 31 eingeschoben. Ist die Schiene 30 voll bestückt, so können die eingefügten Grundrahmen mittels des Griffs 32 einfach getragen werden. Vorzugsweise wird eine gleichartige Schiene 30 an die Unterseite der Grundrahmen eingesetzt, so daß Rahmen und Schienen ein einigermaßen starres Gebilde sind. Bei großen Rahmen können selbstverständlich je Grundrahmenseite zwei Schienen vorgesehen werden; auch ist es möglich, zum Ausgleich von Maßabweichungen der Grundrahmen, eine Schiene in sich gliedrig auszubilden, so daß gegebenenfalls die Schiene teilweise ausweichen kann.For the transport, the complete base frames with one profile rail side are then pushed one after the other into the receiving webs 31. If the rail 30 is fully equipped, the inserted base frame can be easily carried by means of the handle 32. Preferably, a similar rail 30 is used on the underside of the base frame, so that the frame and rails are a somewhat rigid structure. With large frames, two rails can of course be provided on each side of the base frame; it is also possible, in order to compensate for dimensional deviations of the base frame, to form a rail in itself so that, if necessary, the rail can partially deflect.

Abschließend soll noch angemerkt werden, daß die Grundform der Profilschiene auch z.B. quadratisch sein kann; überhaupt sind diverse Detailabwandlungen denkbar. Worauf es letztlich bei der vorliegenden Erfindung ankommt, ist der Gedankengang, daß eine einfache Verbindungsmöglichkeit für benachbarte Rahmen vorhanden ist und daß diese Rahmen über ihre U-förmigen Einhängeschienen mit beliebigen Informationsträgern oder sonstigen Platten bestückbar ist.Finally, it should be noted that the basic shape of the profile rail also e.g. can be square; various detailed modifications are conceivable at all. What is ultimately important in the present invention is the idea that there is a simple connection possibility for adjacent frames and that this frame can be equipped with any information carriers or other plates via its U-shaped hanging rails.

Die in dieser Beschreibung offenbarte Gesamtheit von Profilschienen, Verbindungselementen und Transporteinheit ist vorzugsweise geeignet zur Ausstattung von Messeständen, die ja stets nach relativ kurzer Dauer wieder abgebaut werden müssen. Mit der Transporteinheit läßt sich eine bestimmte Ausstellungseinheit als Standardeinheit transportieren und auf Grund des einfachen Steckkonzepts ohne jegliches Werkzeug aufstellen.The entirety of profile rails, connecting elements and transport unit disclosed in this description is preferably suitable for equipping exhibition stands, which must always be dismantled after a relatively short period. With the transport unit, a certain exhibition unit can be transported as a standard unit and, thanks to the simple plug-in concept, set up without any tools.
