Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for fastening ceiling angles to a room wall according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a generic device is known from DE 40 08 774. It consists of a metal rail which has a protruding web on the longitudinal edges from the rear and at least two assembly points in the longitudinal direction which have predetermined distances from one another. Each assembly point preferably has eight holes which are arranged at an angular spacing of 45 degrees around the circumference of the bolt circle and into which fastening elements for the ceiling bracket can be inserted.
  • the respective bolt circle has a diameter so that it corresponds to the corresponding distances from assigned holes in the ceiling bracket. At least two holes are provided for fastening the metal rail to the room wall, one of these holes being designed as an elongated hole.
  • US Pat. No. 2,083,271 discloses an adjustable hanging device which can be fastened to a wall, in particular for wash basins and sinks. This consists of two metal rails which can be moved relative to one another, the ends of which are each provided with a funnel-shaped bulge into which the holding tongues of the base can be inserted. Due to the fixable displacement of the metal rails, the distance between the two bulges can be continuously changed and adapted to the respective base type.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a generic improved device for fastening ceiling angles, in particular provided with two outlets, which is easy to assemble and can also be attached with the ceiling angle at a distance deviating from the standard gauge and with different hole spacings. Another task is to be able to vary the distance of the device from the wall in a wide range.
  • the device according to the invention consists, in a known manner, of two metal rails which can be pushed relative to one another, a hole circle known per se being arranged in the respective end region of the metal rail.
  • the distance of the bolt circle of one metal rail to the bolt circle of the other metal rail can be changed either in steps or continuously within a defined displacement path.
  • the desired end position can be fixed.
  • This proposal makes it possible. that either certain pitches can be set in a step-wise manner or any arbitrary pitches within the specified range can be set continuously in a simple manner. Irrespective of this, the ceiling brackets can be preassembled on the respective metal rail in the workshop even if the gauge dimension is not known, so that the fastening of the device on the construction site is simplified.
  • the formation of the holes of the known hole circle as radially oriented elongated holes This results in different bolt circle diameters, so that ceiling angles with different hole spacings can be attached to the same device. For example, this makes it possible to arrange a smaller ceiling bracket with a hole spacing of 33 mm and a larger ceiling bracket with a hole spacing of 40 mm on the same metal rail.
  • screws are used as fastening means, which are inserted through the hole in the ceiling bracket and the respective elongated hole in the bolt circle.
  • the actual attachment is carried out in a known manner by means of a nut.
  • This principle of fixing the distance by means of sliding guide bars can also be applied to the longer dimensions.
  • you would go to a metal rail Leave the pinhole-free end area and arrange the holes for it to be attached to the wall of the room.
  • one end face of the metal rail has a web protruding from the rear, the transverse extent of which is at least equal to or greater than that of the web lying on the long side.
  • An angle plate can be fastened to this web, wherein each leg of the angle plate has at least two holes.
  • two holes of a leg are designed as elongated holes, so that the distance of the holding rail from the wall of the room can be adjusted within a certain range by the extension of the elongated hole.
  • the legs of the angle plate are preferably made of different lengths, then by changing the leg attached to the holding rail, the distance variation can be increased even further, especially if the holes of the shorter leg are also designed as elongated holes.
  • nuts are fastened on the inside of the end webs, the free passage of which is aligned with a hole arranged in the web.
  • the outlet of the ceiling bracket is placed in the direction of the bracket. The displacement of the leg of the angle plate along the elongated holes is then restricted because after just a few millimeters of displacement, the upper edge of the leg hits the underside of the outlet.
  • one leg extends from one edge and to provide a semicircular recess in the center.
  • At least two fastening holes are arranged on this angled leg, one of which can also be an elongated hole.
  • FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of the device according to the invention in a plan view and in FIG. 2 in a section along the line A-A in FIG. It consists of two elongated metal holding rails 1, 2, each of which has a projecting web 3.3 '; 4.4' on the longitudinal edges from the rear.
  • the respective end region of the holding rail 1, 2 has a hole circle 5, 6 known per se.
  • a total of eight radially oriented slots 7 are provided for each bolt circle 5, 6, which are distributed over the circumference with an angular offset of 45 degrees.
  • the radial longitudinal extent of the elongated holes 7 is chosen so that at least two ceiling angles 13, 13 'having a different hole spacing 8 can be attached to the same device.
  • the arrangement of a total of eight holes 7 per hole circle 5, 6 allows the respective ceiling angle to be arranged in a known manner at an angular offset of 45 degrees.
  • two different stitch dimensions can be defined in stages.
  • the smallest gauge dimension is obtained when the round hole 9, which is arranged on the outside of the hole-free end region on the inserted holding rail 2, coincides with the round hole 10 on the other holding rail 1, which is likewise arranged on the inside in the end area without the hole circle.
  • the round hole 9 of the holding rail 2 arranged on the outside comes to coincide with the round hole 11 of the holding rail 1 arranged on the outside.
  • a fastener such as a screw and nut, is inserted through the two round holes 9, 10 and 9, 11, which are aligned.
  • the displacement of the two holding rails 1, 2 necessary for setting the desired pitch dimension is indicated by an arrow 12.
  • FIGS. 11, 12 explain how very small pitches can be achieved with this device.
  • a ceiling bracket 13, 13 ' is shown, the connection 14 for the inlet pipe (not shown here) is designed as a press fitting. So that the pliers required for the pressing can be easily applied, a certain distance 15 between the upper edge of the holding rail 2 and the ceiling bracket 13 must be maintained.
  • a spacer 17, for example made of plastic is arranged between the fastening web 16 of the ceiling bracket 13 and the holding rail 2. This also serves the purpose of damping the line noise.
  • a corresponding thickness, for example 20 mm, of the spacer 17 is required if 100% thermal insulation is required.
  • This spacer 17 can also be used to bridge the distance jump, due to the thickness of the holding rail 1, so that the ceiling bracket 13 'arranged on the mounting rail 1 and the ceiling bracket 13 arranged on the lower mounting rail 2 have the same distance from the wall of the room exhibit. Since the sheet thickness of the holding rail 1 is only in a range of millimeters, it will be possible to dispense with this height compensation in most cases.
  • FIG. 3 shows in the same top view as FIG. 1 a variation in the displacement and fixation of the two holding rails 1, 2. To simplify matters, the same reference numerals have been used for the same parts.
  • a round hole is arranged on the holding rail 1, but rather an elongated hole 18 lying in the direction of displacement, while on the holding rail 2 there is still only one round hole 9 arranged on the outside.
  • the longitudinal extent of the elongated hole 18 corresponds to the maximum possible displacement of the two holding rails 1, 2.
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 show a part of the end region of a holding rail 19 in a side view and in a top view.
  • This holding rail 19 differs from the holding rail 2 shown in FIG. 1 in that it has on the end face a web protruding from the rear, which is angled as an extension.
  • the leg 20 projecting from the rear has a transverse extension which is the same as that of the webs 4, 4 'running along the longitudinal edges.
  • the other leg 21 is at right angles to it and has at least two fastening holes 22, 22 '.
  • One 22 'thereof can be designed as an elongated hole 23, as indicated by dashed lines here. This end-side end formation is very well suited to supplement the devices previously shown in FIGS.
  • the device can be fastened at the two ends by means of the holes 22, 23 provided for this purpose after the displacement and fixing of the two holding rails 1, 2 to the desired pitch, the elongated hole 23 also opening up the possibility of aligning the device in the transverse direction can. If necessary, you can choose the transverse extension of the leg 21 wider and arrange a longitudinal slot instead of the upper edge hole 22 to the To be able to align the device also in the longitudinal direction. This can be necessary in a special case if the two fastening holes 22, 22 'come to lie exactly on a vertical wall joint.
  • FIGS. 6 and 7 An alternative to the end formation according to FIG. 4 is shown in FIGS. 6 and 7.
  • This initially complicated-looking hole combination in the hole-circle-free end area of the respective holding rail 1, 2 has the advantage that it is suitable both for fixing the displacement 12 of the two holding rails 1, 2 and for fastening the device to a room wall.
  • an elongated hole 24 lying in the direction of displacement is arranged in the end region of the one holding rail 1 which is free of a hole circle and which merges into a transverse elongated hole 25 at the end on the left-hand side.
  • an equally long, also transverse elongated hole 26 is arranged on the lower holding rail 2, which in the inserted state according to FIG.
  • a conventional round hole 27 is provided on the lower-lying holding rail 2, which is arranged approximately in the central part of the hole-free end region of the holding rail 2.
  • an elongated hole 28 lying in the direction of displacement is arranged on the same holding rail 2, the longitudinal extent of which is considerably shorter than the elongated hole 24 arranged on the other holding rail 1. In the inserted state according to FIG. 6, this elongated hole 28 is congruent with the large elongated hole 24.
  • FIG. 8 shows a further embodiment of the device according to the invention.
  • the displacement of the two holding rails 1, 2 and their fixing correspond in principle to the second embodiment, which was explained in detail above.
  • both holding rails 1, 2 have a web 30, 31 protruding from the rear at the respective front end.
  • An angle plate 32, 33 can be arranged as an extension on this web 30, 31.
  • the angle plate 32, 33 preferably has two legs of different lengths, and holes 34 are provided on the shorter leg for attachment to the wall of the room. In order to further ensure alignment of the device, these holes 34 can also be designed as elongated holes.
  • two elongated holes 37 are provided on the long leg of the angle plate 32, 33.
  • nuts 38, 31, the free passage of which are aligned with the bore 39 provided on the web, are fastened to the inside of the end webs 30, 31.
  • a screw for fastening the angle plate 32, 33, a screw, not shown here, is inserted through the elongated holes 37 of the angle plate 32, 33 and through the bore 39 of the web 30, 31 and screwed into the nut 38. If the distance between the device and the wall of the room is smaller than is possible due to the displacement of the angle plate 32, 33 along the elongated holes 37, the angle plate 32, 33 can be turned around and the shorter leg can be attached to the web 30, 31.
  • elongated holes 42 are arranged in the respective end region of the two metal rails 1, 2 so that, in the most pushed-in state, these elongated holes 42 with those 7 of the hole circles 5, 6 come to cover.
  • This arrangement has the advantage that the two metal rails 1, 2 can be pushed together almost completely and the fastening elements for the ceiling angles 13, 13 'can still be pushed through.
  • a variant of the angle plates 32, 33 is shown in FIGS. 9 and 10.
  • a semicircular recess 43 extends from one edge starting from the edge and arranged in the center.
  • FIGS. 11 and 12 show a further variant in a modification of the representation in FIG. 4 in order to be able to set very short pitch distances. If, for example, the holding area 1 which is free of a hole circle is cut off from the holding rail 1 shown on the left and the end area is formed as shown in FIG. 4, then a holding device is obtained for only one ceiling bracket 13 'at a time.
  • the holding rail shown on the right can be designed in the same way.
  • two guide webs 48, 48' are attached to one of the two holding rails 1 ', for example by a stitching seam 49, 49'. It is irrelevant whether the guide webs 8, 8 'are attached outside or inside.
  • an elongated hole 50, 50 ' is milled or punched out in the side web 3, 3' of the left holding rail 1.
  • a round hole 51, 51 ' is arranged on the guide web 48, 48'.
  • the principle of FIG. 11 is transferred to a longer pitch distance.
  • the end area free of a hole circle remains, and the upper part of the end area without a hole circle was removed from the right holding rail 2 based on FIG.
  • the side webs 4, 4 ' were left to be used as a guiding and fixing element.
  • Laying the fixation on the side webs 3, 3 'or 4, 4' has the advantage that the end area without a hole circle can be used for fastening the device.
  • two elongated holes 44, 45 and a round hole 45 are arranged on this part. Comparable as already shown in FIG. 11,
  • the webs 4, 4 ' can also be fastened separately as outer webs on the holding rail 2, so that height compensation due to the thickness of the holding rail 1 is not necessary.
