Definitions

  • an enclosure in the form of a housing for arranging continuously along a wall.
  • a cable duct for the electrical leads can be integrated in this enclosure.
  • Known embodiments consist of a number of separate, adjoining units mounted to a continuous whole and each containing the necessary devices and such like. With respect to connecting pipes and so on these units have to be arranged at an early stage of the building. This results in a great risk of damage during the further building.
  • the separate units have to be specifically designed for each application.
  • the known systems are moreover not very flexible in the case of later change of the lay-out of the space in which they are disposed.
  • the invention has for its object to provide an enclosure with which these drawbacks are obviated.
  • This is achieved by the steps as characterized in claim 1.
  • the continuous bearing profile or the bearing profiles with the bearing elements protruding transversely thereof can be arranged in an early stage of the building and the climate conditioning units such as heating or cooling units can be arranged without problems. Only at a much later stage, shortly before completion of the building, can the separate external enclosure parts be arranged on the bearing profiles. If the lay-out is changed the enclosure parts can be simply removed again and re-fitted in a changed position.
  • Each bearing element can herein support the ends of two adjoining enclosure parts so that a minimum number of bearing elements is required and a maximum utilizable space is available inside the enclosure.
  • the step of claim 3 is applied.
  • a large tolerance in lengthwise direction of the enclosure is a large tolerance in lengthwise direction of the enclosure.
  • the use of covering strips results in a number of additional advantages which will be further elucidated.
  • step of claim 4 Simple fitting and removal of the covering strips is achieved with the step of claim 4.
  • step of claim 5 is preferably applied therein. Due to the resilient foam material the hook connections remain under load so that the covering strips do not come loose in undesirable manner.
  • the enclosure parts are furthermore well fixed through the resilient gripping of the foam material.
  • a favourable embodiment from the point of view of manufac­turing technique is further characterized in claim 6.
  • the clamps can be arranged on the bearing profile once it has been mounted so that an accurate placing thereof is possible.
  • the enclosure can be embodied in many different ways.
  • the structure of all embodiments of the enclosure is however basically always the same.
  • This general structure consists of (fig. 1): - base profiles 1 - bearing panels 2 (constructed of bearing plates and support brackets) - enclosure parts 3 (for example front panels, grid parts, cable duct) - covering strips 4.
  • Attachment of the enclosure to the building takes place by means of two L-profiles 1 which in the embodiment shown are both fixed on the wall.
  • This fixing is realized by (fig. 3): adjustable distance bolts 5 and fixing screws 7.
  • the distance bolts 5 and screws 7 are arranged pair-wise at a determined interval of for instance 750 mm.
  • One type of profile 1 with fixing elements can always be used for all embodiments so that this bearing profile 1 can optionally be held in stock.
  • Bearing elements 2 are attached to the bearing profiles 1 such that they protrude transversely thereof. These bearing elements are steel-plate components and have bent over edges. Fixing to the bearing profiles 1 is performed in the same manner for each point of attachment by means of a bolt 13 with nut 8 and clamping plate 11 (fig. 3 and 4). In order to prevent the construction bending during tightening a stiffening plate 9 is point welded onto the bearing plate 10.
  • Cut away portions can be arranged in the bearing plates 10 for the purpose of conduit feed, for example.
  • Support brackets 14 are point welded onto the bearing plates 10 (fig. 5). These are also steel-plate components.
  • bearing element The assembly of bearing plate 10 and support brackets 14 is further described as bearing element.
  • the bearing elements can differ greatly depending on the embodiment of the product. All bearing elements are however preferably identical per project.
  • Enclosure parts 3 are arranged on the bearing elements 2. These consist in the embodiment shown of steel front panels 15 and aluminium grids 16.
  • the front plates 15 are attached (fig. 6A) by hooking them from underneath into the bottom support bracket 14, subsequent­ly pivoting the top part into the correct position and allowing the front panel 15 to drop onto the bearing elements (fig. 6B).
  • the aluminium grid 16 is fitted by laying protruding studs of the grid 16 on the rear side onto the bearing profile 1 and at the front by laying in the double bent edge of the front panel 15 (fig. 6C). In this case therefore the upper bearing profile also has the function of supporting the grid 16.
  • covering strips 4 Arranged on the transition seams between the enclosure parts 3 are covering strips 4. These are also folding steel-­plate components which cover the transition seams and can have a nominal part in fixation of the enclosure parts 3. On the side where they lie against the enclosure parts 3 they are provided with a layer of resilient and non-slip foam material 19 (fig. 7).
  • the covering strips are fitted as follows: - A clamp 20 (fig. 9) is pressed onto the upper bearing profile 1. - The covering strip is hooked with the hook-like bottom end 17 behind the lower edge of the front panel 15. The position of the covering strip 4 is herein wholly indepen­dent of the position of the bearing elements 2. - The covering strip 4 is placed round the enclosure parts 3. - The protruding plate portion with the opening 18 is pushed behind the bearing profile 1. The opening 18 in the covering strip 4 herein snaps into place automatically behind the clamp 20.
  • Removal of the covering strip 4 therefore costs more effort than fitting.
  • rapid fitting is possible, while on the other hand the strip cannot easily be pried loose, for instance by users who are bored.
  • the covering strip remains well locked in the clamp 20. Because the strip 4 is fixed at both outer ends it lies consistently well on the underlying components.
  • Fig. 10 shows the enclosure in the above described mounted state.
  • a lower bearing profile 22 can be fitted on the floor instead of on the wall.
  • the bearing elements 23 are then provided with a leg portion 21 which bears on the lower base profile 22 (fig. 11).
  • the bearing elements 2 can in principle be placed in two ways relative to the enclosure parts 3 (see top view fig. 12): - Between the enclosure parts, wherein approximately as many bearing elements 2 are necessary as there are segments of enclosure parts 3. - Under the enclosure parts, wherein approximately twice as many bearing elements 2 are necessary as there are segments of enclosure parts 3. This solution is more costly but has particular additional advantages. This placing is employed when the length of the segments is comparatively large and the danger exists with unfavourable loading of bending of particular components. This placing can also be favourable when partition walls are used transversely on the enclosure, as will be further elucidated.
  • the support brackets 24 are in principle all identical per project. The embodiment is determined per project and adapted to the situation.
  • the support brackets 24 are fixed to the base profile 1 by the known connection with clamping plates (fig. 3, 4).
  • the enclosure according to the invention can be adapted simply to a changed interior, for instance when a partition wall is added or removed. This is of importance in view of the frequent practice in buildings wherein the space is regularly laid out differently.
  • the place where the partition wall is or can be placed is therein always the transition between the segments.
  • the location of this segment transition is selected in the design in accordance with a point in the modular lay-out of the building. This is generally speaking the location where partition walls can be present.
  • the removal of a partition wall proceeds in reverse sequence: - covering strips removed - enclosure parts 3 shifted away from each other - partition wall removed - enclosure parts 3 pushed against one another - covering strip arranged.
  • partition wall In the case of a newly placed partition wall no extra panels need be arranged for acoustic insulation and fire-proof­ing.
  • the partition wall can namely run through to the relevant wall or floor.
  • the flexibility of the invention also manifests itself when pillars 26 stand in the space. As shown in fig. 14 and 15, the enclosure panels can simply be shifted against (or for aesthetic reasons placed leaving a gap to) the pillar 26. Only an extra transitional panel 27 is needed for finishing. The external covering strips 4 connect the parts visually to one whole (fig. 15). Similar solutions are of course possible in the case of more forwardly placed pillars, alcoves, extensions, corners and the like.
  • Fig. 16 shows an overview in schematic cross sections of some possible embodiments of the enclosure according to the invention.
