Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Säule mit kreuzweise angeordneten Befestigungsöffnungen zum lösbaren Einhängen von Auslege- oder Wandelementen nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The present invention relates to a column with fastening openings arranged in a criss-cross manner for releasably attaching extension or wall elements according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

Aus der CH-PS 600 090 ist eine Säule für die Erstellung von Raumunterteilungen mit radial auswärts gerichteten Schenkelanordnungen für den Anschluss von Trag- und Wandelementen beschrieben, wobei zwischen benachbarten oder sich kreuzweise gegenüberliegenden Schenkeln Abdeckelemente angebracht sind, die durch Federspannglieder mit Rastvorrichtungen an bezüglichen Schenkeln festgehalten sind. Diese Abdeckelemente dienen vorzugsweise zum Ausfüllen von optisch schlecht wirkenden Eckbereichen zwischen benachbarten Schenkelanordnungen oder zum Ueberdecken von unbenutzten Säulenschenkeln.From CH-PS 600 090 a column for the creation of room partitions with radially outward leg arrangements for the connection of support and wall elements is described, whereby cover elements are attached between adjacent or crosswise opposite legs, which are connected by spring tension members with locking devices on related legs are captured. These cover elements are preferably used to fill optically poor-looking corner areas between adjacent leg arrangements or to cover unused column legs.

Eine solche Säule enthält ein relativ aufwendiges Kernstück aus den Schenkelanordnungen, die durch Verbindungsstege miteinander verbunden sind. Die Befestigung der Abdeckelemente ist zwar sehr einfach, doch ist deren Demontage beim Umbau der Säulen auf ein anderes Querschnittsmuster deshalb schwierig, weil die Gefahr des Verbiegens der Abdeckprofile gross ist.Such a column contains a relatively complex core piece from the leg arrangements, which are connected to one another by connecting webs. The fastening of the cover elements is very simple, but it is difficult to dismantle them when converting the columns to a different cross-sectional pattern because the danger of the cover profiles bending is great.

Eine ähnliche Säule mit radialen Anschlussgliedern, insbesondere für Trag- und Wandelemente, geht aus der CH-PS 649 597 hervor. Die Säule enthält auch hier einen Metallprofilkern mit einer Anzahl, vorzugsweise vier, umfangsverteilten Schenkeln, welche durch zwei seitliche Wandstege begrenzt sind. Zwischen diesen Stegen sind in regelmässigen Abständen längslaufende Schlitze enthalten, in welche Einrastvorrichtungen von Trag- und/oder Wandelementen einsetzbar sind. In den sektoriellen Freiraum zwischen einander zugewandten Wandstegen benachbarter Schenkel ist jeweils ein beispielsweise dekorativer Füllkörper eingesetzt, welcher mittels einer Nut-Rippen-Verbindung gehalten ist. Als Füllkörper werden bei solchen Säulen vorzugsweise Holz- oder Kunststoffprofilstäbe verwendet. Auch hier ist die Demontage der Füllkörper problematisch, weil bei nicht sehr vorsichtiger Arbeitsweise die vorzugsweise am Füllkörper vorhandenen Rippen beschädigt und die Stäbe daher für einen weiteren Gebrauch untauglich werden.A similar column with radial connecting members, in particular for supporting and wall elements, can be found in CH-PS 649 597. Here too, the column contains a metal profile core with a number, preferably four, circumferentially distributed legs which are delimited by two lateral wall webs. Longitudinal slots are contained between these webs at regular intervals, into which snap-in devices of support and / or wall elements can be inserted. There is one in each of the sectorial free spaces between mutually facing wall webs For example, decorative filler is used, which is held by means of a groove-rib connection. Wooden or plastic profile bars are preferably used as packing elements in such columns. Here, too, the disassembly of the packing is problematic because if the method of operation is not very careful, the ribs which are preferably present on the packing are damaged and the bars are therefore unsuitable for further use.

In der GB-Patentpublikation 2 035 409 ist eine Säule von etwa quadratischem Querschnitt gezeigt, in deren Längsseitenflächen T- oder Schwalbenschwanznuten vorhanden sind. Mit querschnitts-komplementären Stirnseiten-Enden versehene Wand- oder Stabelemente sind direkt in die Nuten des Säulenprofilstabes eingesetzt, wobei den auswärts gerichteten Eckpartien der Säule eine dekorative Wirkung zugeordnet werden kann. Nicht benutzte Nuten der Säule oder Abschnitte davon sind mit Füllkörpern versehbar, die samt der bezüglichen Säulenseitenfläche dekorativ gestaltbar sind.In GB patent publication 2 035 409 a column of approximately square cross-section is shown, in the longitudinal side surfaces of which there are T- or dovetail grooves. Wall or bar elements provided with cross-sectional complementary end faces are inserted directly into the grooves of the column profile bar, whereby a decorative effect can be assigned to the outward-facing corner parts of the column. Not used grooves of the column or sections thereof can be provided with fillers, which can be designed decoratively together with the related column side surface.

Bei Säulen dieser Art müssen die Wand- oder Stabelemente immer von einem obenliegenden Ende her aufgeschoben werden, so dass sich solche nicht für die Halterung raumhoher einstückiger Wände eignen.In the case of columns of this type, the wall or bar elements must always be pushed on from an overhead end, so that they are not suitable for holding room-high, one-piece walls.

Schliesslich zeigt die GB-PS 1 494 407 eine profilierte Säule mit vier auf dem Umfang gleichmässig verteilten längslaufenden Schwalbenschwanz-Stegen, auf die direkt oder mittels Zwischenstücken Wandelemente aus Holz oder Glas aufsetzbar sind. Auch hier können unbenutzte Schwalbenschwanzstege mit Deckprofilstäben unsichtbar gemacht werden. An der Säule zu befestigende Stab- oder Wandelemente müssen immer vom einen Ende der Säule her aufgeschoben werden, so dass sie sich in der Regel nur für kurze Bauhöhen eignen.Finally, GB-PS 1 494 407 shows a profiled column with four longitudinally running dovetail webs evenly distributed over the circumference, onto which wall elements made of wood or glass can be placed directly or by means of intermediate pieces. Here, too, unused dovetail bars can be made invisible with cover profile bars. Rod or wall elements to be attached to the column must always be pushed from one end of the column, so that they are generally only suitable for short heights.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist daher eine Säule der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, deren Metallkern aus einem quadratischen Rohrprofilstab herstellbar und mit aufsteckbaren peripheren Abdeckelementen versehbar ist, die durch nachgiebige Halterungen des Metallkerns an diesem festgehalten sind. Die Abdeckelemente sollen Führungsaufgaben für seitlich in Längsschlitze im Rohrprofilstab einzusetzende Ausleger -oder Wandelemente ausüben können und ferner so gestaltet sein, dass ein daran von aussen zugänglicher Hohlraum ausgebildet werden kann.The object of the invention is therefore to provide a column of the type mentioned, the metal core of a square tubular section rod can be produced and provided with attachable peripheral cover elements which are held onto the metal core by resilient holders. The cover elements should be able to perform guiding tasks for cantilever or wall elements to be inserted laterally in longitudinal slots in the tubular profile rod, and should also be designed in such a way that a cavity accessible therefrom can be formed.

Die erfindungsgemässe Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist durch eine Säule der im Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1 umschriebenen Art definiert, wobei die kennzeichnenden Merkmale nach den Worten "dadurch gekennzeichnet" angeführt sind.The achievement of this object according to the invention is defined by a column of the type described in the preamble of patent claim 1, the characterizing features being given after the words “characterized”.

Die Vorteile einer solchen Säule sind klar der einfache, durch Stanzbearbeitung herrichtbare Säulenkern mit darauf in gesicherter Haftverbindung aufgesetzten Führungs- und Haltevorrichtungen für die Abdeckelemente, welche zusätzlich Führungskanäle bilden können und deren Aussenflächen dekorativ gestaltbar sind.The advantages of such a column are clearly the simple column core, which can be prepared by punching, with guiding and holding devices for the cover elements placed thereon in a secure adhesive connection, which can additionally form guide channels and whose outer surfaces can be designed decoratively.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel einer solchen Säule ist nachstehend anhand der Zeichnung beschrieben. In dieser zeigt:

  • Fig. 1 und 2 zwei Verwendungsarten der erfindungsgemässen Säule,
  • Fig. 3 einen Schnitt nach der Linie III-III inFig. 2,
  • Fig. 4 den Säulenkern im Längsschnitt,
  • Fig. 5 die Bestandteile einer Säule, teilweise in Explosions-darstellung,
  • Fig. 6 eine Kappe als oberer Abschluss der Säule und
  • Fig. 7 einen Basisblock zur Verankerung der Säule auf einem Untersatz.
An embodiment of such a column is described below with reference to the drawing. In this shows:
  • 1 and 2 two types of use of the column according to the invention,
  • Fig. 3 shows a section along the line III-III inFig. 2,
  • 4 the column core in longitudinal section,
  • 5 shows the components of a column, partly in an exploded view,
  • Fig. 6 is a cap as the top of the column and
  • Fig. 7 shows a basic block for anchoring the column on a pedestal.

Die Fig. 1 zeigt die Säule 1 in der Verwendungsart als Stehpfosten bzw. als aufrecht stehender Träger von Auslegern 2 oder Wandelementen 3. Mit 4 und 4a sind profilierte Abdeckglieder bezeichnet, die in den Fig. 3 und 5 in grösserem Massstab gezeigt sind, und mit 5 und 6 ist eine obenliegende Abschlusskappe bzw. ein untenliegender Basisblock bezeichnet. Beide Teile gehen mit Details aus den Fig. 6 und 7 hervor. Schliesslich bezeichnet 7 eine Bodenplatte, mittels welcher die Säule 1 zwischen einem Fussboden und einer Raumdecke einspannbar ist.Fig. 1 shows the column 1 in the use as a standing post or as an upright support of brackets 2 or wall elements 3. With 4 and 4a, profiled cover members are referred to, which are shown in Figs. 3 and 5 on a larger scale, and 5 and 6 denote an end cap or a base block located below. Both parts emerge with details from FIGS. 6 and 7. Finally, 7 denotes a floor slab by means of which the column 1 can be clamped between a floor and a ceiling.

In Fig. 2 sind zwei Säulen 1 auf einem fahrbaren Untersatz 8 gezeigt, wobei die Säulen 1 über je einen Basisblock 6 auf dem Untersatz 8 festgeschraubt sind. Es wird auch hierzu auf Fig. 7 verwiesen.In Fig. 2, two columns 1 are shown on a mobile base 8, wherein the columns 1 are screwed onto the base 8 via a base block 6. In this regard, reference is also made to FIG. 7.

Der Schnitt in Fig. 3 zeigt einen vorzugsweise aus einem quadratischen Stahlrohr ausgeformten Säulenkern 10, von dem Fig. 4 eine Längsansicht zeigt. Alle vier Seitenwände des Säulenkerns 10 sind mit ersten Befestigungsöffnungen 11 für Einhängeglieder 12, z.B. Ausleger, versehen, die in den Fig. 3 und 4 als paarweise gestanzte Längsschlitze gezeigt sind. Der Säulenkern 10 enthält ferner zweite Befestigungsöffnungen 13 für die Aufnahme von darin einsteckbaren Führungsgliedern 14 zur Halterung der Abdeckglieder 4 auf dem Säulenkern 10. Diese Führungsglieder sind zweckmässig schlagfeste längliche Kunststoffteile mit einwärts vorstehenden gefederten Zapfen 15, die im Abstand der Befestigungsöffnungen 13 an einer Kopfplatte 16 angespritzt sind, welche ihrerseits eine zurückgesetzte Auflagezone 17 aufweist, die den Eingriff von später beschriebenen Sperrippen 18 an den Abdeckgliedern 4, 4a festlegt. Die jeweils in Gruppen von zwei Rundlöchern in Längsrichtung des Säulenkerns 10 angeordneten Befestigungsöffnungen 13 liegen seitlich ausserhalb der ersten schlitzförmigen Befestigungsöffnungen 11 und sind in regelmässigen Abständen angeordnet.The section in FIG. 3 shows a column core 10 preferably formed from a square steel tube, of which FIG. 4 shows a longitudinal view. All four side walls of the column core 10 are provided with first fastening openings 11 for hanging members 12, for example brackets, which are shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 as longitudinal slots punched in pairs. The column core 10 also contains second fastening openings 13 for receiving guide members 14 which can be inserted therein for holding the cover members 4 on the column core 10. These guide members are expediently impact-resistant elongated plastic parts with inwardly projecting spring-loaded pins 15 which are spaced apart from the fastening openings 13 on a head plate 16 are injection molded, which in turn has a recessed support zone 17, which defines the engagement of locking ribs 18 described later on the cover members 4, 4a. The fastening openings 13 each arranged in groups of two round holes in the longitudinal direction of the column core 10 are on the side outside the first slot-shaped fastening openings 11 and are arranged at regular intervals.

Von den in ihrer Länge auf die Länge des Säulenkerns 10 abgestimmten Abdeckgliedern 4 sind in den Fig. 3 und 5 zwei Ausführungsformen 4 und 4a gezeigt. Beiden Ausführungsformen gemeinsam ist die Ausbildung eines Winkelprofilstabes, der sich über jeweils eine Ecke des Säulenkerns 10 erstreckt und diese Ecke umgreift. An den freien Enden beider Winkelprofilschenkel schliessen im wesentlichen rechtwinklig profil-einwärtsgerichtete Längswände 20 an. Diese Längswände 20 sind mit der bereits erwähnten fussförmigen Sperrippe 18 versehen, durch die das Abdeckglied 4 an zwei rechtwinklig zueinander stehenden Führungsgliedern 14 verankert ist. Die fussförmigen Sperrippen 18 beider Längswände 20 greifen dabei unter die Kopfplatten 16 der genannten Führungsglieder 14 und kommen mit deren Auflagezonen 17 in Kontakt. Die Abdeckglieder 4, 4a lassen sich in horizontaler Lage des Säulenkerns 10 bequem aufschieben, weshalb die Baulänge einer erfindungsgemässen Säule praktisch beliebig lang sein kann.3 and 5 of the cover members 4, which are matched in length to the length of the column core 10, show two embodiments 4 and 4a. Both embodiments have in common the formation of an angle profile bar, which extends over a corner of the column core 10 and encompasses this corner. At the free ends of both angled profile legs, longitudinal walls 20 which are directed inward at profile essentially adjoin. These longitudinal walls 20 are provided with the foot-shaped locking rib 18 already mentioned, by means of which the cover member 4 is anchored to two guide members 14 which are at right angles to one another. The foot-shaped locking ribs 18 of both longitudinal walls 20 engage under the head plates 16 of the said guide members 14 and come into contact with their support zones 17. The cover members 4, 4a can be easily slid on in the horizontal position of the column core 10, which is why the overall length of a column according to the invention can be of virtually any length.

Die Längswände 20 zweier benachbarter Abdeckglieder 4 befinden sich in einem gegenseitigen Abstand, der im wesentlichen dem Abstand der Aussenwände der Einhängeglieder 12 entspricht. Sie sind somit geeignet, für diese Einhängeglieder 12 wie z.B. Flachkonsolen die Führungsaufgabe zu übernehmen, indem sie Führungskanäle 19 der erwähnten Breite ausbilden. Führungskanäle mit nicht benutzten Befestigungsöffnungen 11 können durch im Querschnitt U-förmige Füllprofilstäbe 21 überdeckt werden. In einander zugewandte Hinterschneidungen 22 aussenseitig der Längswände 20 eingreifende Verdickungen 23 der Füllprofil-Schenkel halten den Profilstab 21 zwischen benachbarten Längswänden 20 fest.The longitudinal walls 20 of two adjacent cover members 4 are located at a mutual distance which essentially corresponds to the distance between the outer walls of the suspension members 12. They are therefore suitable for these hook-in members 12, e.g. Flat consoles to take over the management task by forming guide channels 19 of the width mentioned. Guide channels with unused fastening openings 11 can be covered by filler profile bars 21 which are U-shaped in cross section. Thickenings 23 of the filler profile legs which engage in mutually facing undercuts 22 on the outside of the longitudinal walls 20 hold the profile rod 21 firmly between adjacent longitudinal walls 20.

Die Aussenseiten sowohl der Winkelprofilschenkel der Abdeckglieder 4 und 4a als auch des Steges des Füllprofilstabes 21 können mit einem Strukturmuster versehen und/oder farblich dekorativ gestaltet werden.The outer sides of both the angle profile legs of the cover members 4 and 4a and the web of the filling profile rod 21 can be provided with a structural pattern and / or can be designed in terms of color.

Die Profilstäbe der Abdeckglieder 4 können durch Anbringen interner Wandelemente so gestaltet werden, dass dadurch in einem oder beiden Profilschenkeln eine über die ganze Stablänge laufende Durchtrittsöffnung ausgespart werden kann. Es sei auf das Abdeckglied 4a in den Fig. 3 und 5 verwiesen, wo durch die profil-interne Anordnung einer Trennwand 24 zwischen dem einen Profilschenkel 4.1 und der gegenüberliegenden Längswand 20.1 ein über die Durchtrittsöffnung 25 zugänglicher Raum 26 zur Aufnahme einer Stromschiene 27 hergestellt ist. Der Raum 26 ist so gross gestaltet, dass zwischen der Stromschiene 27 und der Schenkelinnenwand ein Längskanal 28 verbleibt, in dem eine nicht gezeigte Anklemmeinrichtung für den Stromabgriff Platz findet.The profile bars of the cover members 4 can be designed by attaching internal wall elements in such a way that a passage opening running over the entire length of the bar can be omitted in one or both profile legs. Reference is made to the cover member 4a in FIGS. 3 and 5, where, through the internal profile arrangement of a partition wall 24 between the one profile leg 4.1 and the opposite longitudinal wall 20.1, a space 26 for receiving a busbar 27 is made accessible through the passage opening 25 . The space 26 is designed so large that a longitudinal channel 28 remains between the busbar 27 and the inner leg wall, in which there is space for a terminal device (not shown) for the current tap.

Für den oberen Abschluss der Säule 1 samt Abdeckgliedern 4 ist gemäss Fig. 6 die Kappe 5 vorgesehen, die im wesentlichen aus einer Deckplatte 30 und einem an diese angeformten Umfangsflansch 31 besteht. Dieser ist zweckmässig auf dem Umfang mit der Aussenkontur der Abdeckglieder 4 bündig und sitzt auf dem oberen Ende der Abdeckglieder 4. Die Deckplatte 30 enthält eine zentrale Verschraubung und trägt auf ihrer Unterseite vier in die Ecken des Säulenkernprofils 10 abwärts greifende Spannfinger 33. Diese weisen an ihren unteren Enden Anschrägungen auf, welche mit einer schematisch gezeigten Konusplatte 34 zusammenwirken, die mittels der Schraube 32 aufwärts ziehbar ist und dabei die Spannfinger 33 an dem Säulenkern 10 anpresst.According to FIG. 6, the cap 5 is provided for the upper end of the column 1 together with cover members 4, which essentially consists of a cover plate 30 and a peripheral flange 31 molded onto it. This is expediently flush on the circumference with the outer contour of the cover members 4 and sits on the upper end of the cover members 4. The cover plate 30 contains a central screw connection and carries on its underside four clamping fingers 33 reaching down into the corners of the column core profile 10 their lower ends on bevels, which cooperate with a schematically shown cone plate 34 which can be pulled upwards by means of the screw 32 and thereby presses the clamping fingers 33 against the column core 10.

Das untere Ende der Säule enthält den Basisblock 6 mit einem zentralen Spannzapfen 35, der im Ende des Säulenkerns 10 stramm festsitzt. Der Spannzapfen 35 geht von einer Grundplatte 36 aus, die von einem aufwärts ragenden Umfangsflansch 37 umgeben ist. Dieser ist zweckmässig auf dem Umfang mit der Aussenkontur der Abdeckglieder 4 bündig, welche auf dem Flanschende aufsitzen.The lower end of the column contains the base block 6 with a central clamping pin 35 which is tightly stuck in the end of the column core 10. The clamping pin 35 starts from a base plate 36 which is surrounded by an upwardly projecting peripheral flange 37. This is expediently flush on the circumference with the outer contour of the cover members 4, which are seated on the flange end.

Die Grundplatte 36 ist sowohl für die Montage der Säule 1 auf der Bodenauflageplatte 7 als auch auf einem Untersatz 8 anpassbar. Zum Anbringen auf der Bodenauflageplatte 7 enthält sie eine Aufnahmebohrung 38 für einen Führungszapfen 39, der die Säule 1 auf der Bodenauflageplatte zentriert. Mit letzterer ist ein Schraubenbolzen 39 verbunden, der in eine Gewindebohrung 40 in einem Auge 41 im Spannzapfen 35 einzugreifen bestimmt ist. Durch Drehen der Fussauflage 7 relativ zur Säule 1 kann diese durch den Gewindeeingriff zwischen einem Fussboden und der Decke festgespannt werden.The base plate 36 is adaptable both for the assembly of the column 1 on the base plate 7 and on a base 8. For mounting on the base plate 7, it contains a receiving bore 38 for a guide pin 39 which centers the column 1 on the base plate. A screw bolt 39 is connected to the latter and is intended to engage in a threaded bore 40 in an eye 41 in the clamping pin 35. By turning the footrest 7 relative to the column 1, this can be clamped by the thread engagement between a floor and the ceiling.

Für die Montage der Säule auf dem Untersatz 8 ist der Basisblock 6 mit Schrauben 42 von unten befestigt. Die Grundplatte kann mit einem Zentrierabsatz 43 versehen sein, durch welchen die Lage der Säule auf dem Untersatz auch ohne die Schrauben 42 festlegbar ist.For the assembly of the column on the base 8, the base block 6 is fastened with screws 42 from below. The base plate can be provided with a centering shoulder 43, by means of which the position of the column on the base can also be fixed without the screws 42.
