Description

The invention relates to a quick-build partition system for creating flexible partition walls for the design of cabins and partitions in the sanitary and wet areas according to the preamble of claim 1.

From DE 37 22 849 C2 a quick-build partition system for creating flexible partition walls for the design of cabins and partitions in the sanitary and wet areas is known. The individual partitions consist of a metal support frame with integrated door frames that hold the filler panels that can be assembled or cut according to the wall height and width. The support frame consists of four U-legs joined together to form a rectangle. The U-legs are provided with rows of holes. The edges of the filler panels are folded parallel to the edge, the fold width corresponding to the width and the fold depth corresponding to the thickness of the U-legs.

This design of the U-legs with the perforated strips, which distributes the adhesive applied on the edge or in the fold well and forms an extremely strong, reliable connection, has proven itself very well. However, it is extremely complex to surround the filler panels on all four sides with the continuous U-profiles.

A quick-build partition is also known from DE-U-91 11 122. It consists of a support frame made of lower and upper support rails with a T-shaped cross-section, T-shaped fittings with a T-shaped cross-section for connecting the support rails, wall connection rails with a T-shaped cross-section and filler panels, which are in their front and long sides Have grooves in which engage the webs of the T-shaped profiles in the assembled state of the partition.

The connection of the individual T-profiles is made by pins that have to be inserted into two recesses running in the longitudinal direction.

The invention has for its object to improve the known quick-build partition system in such a way that the holding of the filling boards is made easier and faster.

• daß die als Eck- oder Flächentafeln ausgebildeten Fülltafeln an den Außenecken und in Eckbereichen von Winkel- und im Mittelwandbereich von geraden, mit Lochreihen versehenen U-Profilen und an der langen Ober- und Unterseite zwischen den U-Profilen von geraden Schienen mit außen angeordneten Erhebungen gehalten sind und
• daß die geraden U-Profile und die Schienen einendig und die zum Fußboden zeigenden Enden der Schenkel der Türzarge teilweise mit einer Einhänge-Lasche versehen sind.

According to the invention, the object is achieved by

• that the filling panels designed as corner or surface panels on the outside corners and in the corner areas of angular and in the central wall area of straight, provided with rows of holes U-profiles and on the long top and bottom between the U-profiles of straight Rails are held with elevations arranged outside and
• that the straight U-profiles and the rails have one end and the ends of the legs of the door frame pointing towards the floor are partially provided with a hanging tab.

The advantages achieved with the invention consist in particular in that the U-profiles surround and hold the corner and surface panels at their critical points. The U-profiles are adapted to the respective basic configuration (corner or flat structures). This makes it possible to enclose the corner areas of the panels with a few prefabricated means. The U-profiles also serve to absorb forces and loads from the individual wall connections at critical connection points, even with straight panels. The remaining long top and bottom sides, on the other hand, can easily be held by push-in smooth and straight rails. These straight and simple rails also have the great advantage that they can be cut and handled very easily on the construction site. The arrangement of hanging brackets enables a non-positive connection to all elements of the quick-build partition system. The U-shaped profiles have corresponding recesses at certain points. By inserting screw nails or other connecting elements, there is also a firm but also releasable connection.

In a further embodiment of the invention, the elevations arranged on the rails are designed as a web-shaped elevation and / or cramp-shaped or nail-shaped elevations. The web-shaped elevations are particularly suitable for straight and continuous long top and bottom sides. They enable simple and quick pressing into the corner or surface panels. Such one easy and simple pushing in is also possible with cramped or nail-shaped elevations.

It is advantageous if the cramped or nail-shaped elevations are arranged on one or both sides of the rail. If they are arranged on one side, such rails are suitable for the outer boundaries of panels. If, on the other hand, they are arranged on both sides of the rail, they can be used particularly advantageously for joining individual panel parts. As a result, it is largely invisible from the outside to implement a quick and secure connection of these panel parts.

It is advantageous if the straight U-profile is formed on the door frame with rows of holes. Such a form of supplementing the door frame is always carried out when exceptionally large forces load a surface panel lying between the door frames.

It is advantageous if height-adjustable feet are arranged at least under the legs of the door frame and under the angle profiles pointing towards the floor. This makes it possible to adjust the height of the entire quick-release partition system in a simple manner. With these height-adjustable feet, the quick-build partition system is also independent of the respective surface. This makes it possible to install the quick-build partition system primarily in construction projects that have already been completed.

It is advantageous if the surface or corner panels are made from extruded hard foam panels that can be provided with double-sided glass fiber reinforcement and special mortar coating. This creates components that are easy to handle on the construction site. Parts of the panels to be cut out can be foamed and re-foamed at any time. Furthermore With the help of the rails already mentioned, these boards are particularly suitable for joining together to form larger units. Too wide panels, on the other hand, can easily be removed with the help of a separating element, e.g. B. a foxtail, can be shortened accordingly.

In order to be optimally adapted to the special environmental conditions, the U-profiles, the door frame and the rails with the elevations are made of metal, preferably of aluminum or galvanized steel. This is particularly avoided if mortar is spread over the surfaces of the individual panels and tiles are laid on top of them.

individual forms of U-profiles.

As shown in FIG. 1, a rapid construction partition system is installed in a room from surface panels 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 and a corner panel 6. For this purpose, the surface panels 5.1 and 5.3 and the corner panel 6 are provided with angle U-profiles 3.1 and 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4 as well as 3.5 and 3.6 towards the walls. The angle U profiles 3.1, ..., 3.6 are formed at right angles to the middle leg of the U-shaped profile.

The corner board 6, however, is bordered by angle U profiles 1.1 on the top and 1.2 on the bottom in the area of their angle. These angle U profiles 1.1 and 1.2, however, are angled at right angles to the two opposite legs of the U profile. On the other hand, should the corner panel be mirror-image, d. H. the short leg on the inside, an angle U-profile 2 is used.

How the angle U profiles 1.1 and 1.2 are formed can be seen in particular from FIGS. 3c and 3d. The opposite legs have holes on, while the leg opposite the opening is smooth and continuous. The respective angle is produced by appropriate shaping.

The narrow walls 5.1 and 5.2 are bordered at the top and bottom with continuous straight U-profiles 4.1 and 4.2 or 4.3 and 4.4. At the points where the angle U-profiles 1.1, 1.2 or 2 and the straight U-profiles 4.1, ..., 4.5 are used, filling board edges 13.1, ..., 13.6 are parallel to their edges Edge folded, the fold width corresponds to the width and the fold depth corresponds to the thickness of the U-legs. Of course, it is also possible to design the fold areas differently or not at all.

The straight and long top and bottom sides of the surface panel 5.3 and the corner panel 6 are delimited by rails 9.1 and 9.2 or 9.3 and 9.4. These rails 9.1, ..., 9.4 have a straight web-shaped elevation 10.1 or 10.2 on their side pointing towards the filling board, as can be seen in particular from FIG. 2. This special shape of the rail 9.1, ..., 9.4 is particularly suitable for the use of panels 5.1, ..., 5.4, 6 made from extruded hard foam and made with double-sided glass fiber reinforcement and special mortar coating. Of course, it is also possible that the web-shaped elevation 10.1 or 10.2 is replaced by cramp-shaped or nail-shaped elevations 11.1, ..., 11.4. If the cramped or nail-shaped elevations are used, these can also be easily and simply pressed into the table 5.3 or 6 due to the material. It is also possible to form rails 12 or 12 'with cramps or nail-shaped elevations 11.1, ..., 11.4 or 11.1', ..., 11.4 'arranged on both sides. These rails 12 and 12 'make it possible to simply connect the surface panel parts 5.3.1, 5.3.2 and 5.3.3 to one another in such a way that the connection is hardly visible from the outside. In addition, as FIG. 2 shows in particular, it is possible to arrange a rail 12 on the end face toward the narrow wall 5.2, which enables the wall 5.3 to be securely seated on the wall 5.2.

In order to be able to optimally manufacture the quick-build partition system on the construction site, it is possible to equip the door frame 7.1 on one side with a straight U-profile 4.5. Such a profile is always used when the forces that can occur due to the wall connections in the area of the door frame due to the subsequent tiling of the walls can be absorbed perfectly. Normally, the forces that occur are absorbed by hook-in brackets 14.1, ..., 14.4 or 15.1, 15.2. These hanging brackets are formed both in the lower area of the door frames and on all other connecting elements in the form of angle U-profiles 4.1, ..., 4.5 or rails 9.1, ..., 9.4. For this, the straight U-profile is z. B. 4.4 adjusted accordingly by a corresponding recess. The mounting brackets 14.1 ..., 14.4, 15.1 and 15.2 have a hole in the middle. Through this hole, it is possible to establish a corresponding stable connection to the U-profiles 1.1, 1.2, 2 and 3.1, ..., 3.6, whereby, if necessary, appropriate additional holes are made.

Under the legs of the door frames 7.1 and 7.2 and on the angle U-profile 1.2 are adjustable feet 8.1, ..., 8.5 pointing towards the floor.

If the quick-build partition system is to be set up, the angle U-profiles 3.1, ..., 3.6 are first attached to the walls at an appropriate height (not shown). Then the corner panel 6 is attached as a side wall corner piece, which can be used on the right and left, with factory-fitted rails 9.3 and 9.4 above and below. Then the door frame 7.2 is connected to the corner wall via the angle U profiles 1.1 and 1.2. Then the straight U-profile 4.4 is installed as a connecting rail between the door frame 7.2 and the set-up door frame 7.1.

Then the surface panel 5.3 is attached as a middle wall with the rails 9.1 and 9.2 to the angle U profiles 3.3 and 3.4. Then the narrow panel 5.2 is pushed as a front piece between the frames 7.1 and 7.2 and the upper straight U-profile 4.3 is attached as a connecting rail. If it turns out during assembly that the surface panel 5.3 is too long, it can be separated with a separating device, e.g. B. a circular saw or a foxtail 16, can be shortened accordingly.

Finally, the straight U-profile 4.2 is attached between the door frame and the angle U-profile 3.2. The narrow surface panel 5.1 is then inserted as a second front piece and the upper straight U-profile 4.1 is placed on top. Then the feet made of V2A steel 8.1 ..., 8.5 are adjusted accordingly so that the entire quick-release partition system lies horizontally. Once this has been done, the corresponding connection points are screwed or riveted. In order to increase the lifespan of the connection points, they are specially foamed. The same applies to the connection points between the door frame and the flat panels 5.1, 5.2 and the narrow corner piece of the corner panel. Finally, the cabins created in this way are tiled inside and out. This advantageously results in the possibility of designing the room and the cabins with the same tiles, which ensures a uniform appearance of the entire room.
