Definitions

  • the invention relates to a multi-purpose hanger for profile rails, in particular the support rails of suspended suspended ceiling, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Rectangular rails made of sheet metal are used in the construction of suspended ceilings as wide span beams that support the supporting structure of the suspended ceiling.
  • This support structure consists, for example, of upwardly open, C-shaped profile rails made of sheet metal.
  • the parts engaging with the C-rails are generally designed so that they are either anchored in the C-rails or have locking notches on the opposite edges of a sheet metal leg, in which the mutually angled edges of the C-rails engage.
  • Such hangers are previously known from FR-A-2 683 566.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide a multi-purpose hanger that can be used with a simple structure and simple manufacturing options for the different tasks that result in suspended ceilings when using C-shaped rails and box-shaped closed rails.
  • the hanger consisting of the U-shaped support part and the associated counterpart forms in this assembled form a closed, essentially rectangular frame which encompasses the profile rail to be suspended, for example a box-shaped wide span beam, without any operations on this profile rail, such as holes or the like, would be required.
  • the profile rail is longitudinally displaceable in the frame thus formed, so that easy alignment is made possible during the assembly process.
  • the free ends of the U legs of the supporting part are designed in such a way that they can be optionally equipped with such a counterpart or a C- Profile rail can be connected.
  • This measure makes it possible to use the U-shaped support part alone, ie without the counterpart, as a hanger for an upwardly open C profile rail, the free ends being snapped into the C profile rail in a manner known per se.
  • the U-shaped support part can then either be attached to a suspension element via its web plate and suspended from the structural shell, or the U-shaped support part can grip over a wide span support and with its U legs hang a C-shaped rail from this wide span support.
  • the design of the U-shaped support part and the counterpart makes it possible to manufacture these parts from sheet metal in relatively simple manufacturing processes, with a sufficiently high load-bearing capacity also being obtained when using relatively thin sheet metal.
  • this is due to the fact that the multi-purpose hanger in the assembled state forms a closed frame in which only slight bending forces occur even under high loads.
  • the angled stop legs on the counterpart which with the free ends of the U-shaped support part, effectively prevent unintentional unhooking of the U-legs of the support part on the counterpart.
  • the multi-purpose hanger shown in the drawing has a U-shaped support part 1 made of sheet metal (Fig. 1).
  • a lower, approximately square web plate 2 is connected at its two mutually opposite edges 3 to an elongated U-leg 4, which is angled upwards at right angles and runs parallel and at a distance from one another.
  • the upper, free ends 5 of the U-legs 4 in the arrangement according to FIG. 1 each have a notch 6 at their mutually opposite edges.
  • the dimensions of these free ends 5 of the U-legs 4 and in particular the notches 6 are measured so that they are suitable for connection to a conventional C-profile rail 7, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4.
  • a mating piece 8 which can be connected to the free ends 5 of the U-legs 4 is also made of sheet metal and has an approximately square base plate 9, from each of which a short holding leg 11 is angled at two opposite edges 10. In the embodiment shown as an exemplary embodiment, each holding leg 11 is divided by a central incision 12.
  • angled latching strips 14 project from one another, which are intended to engage in the notches 6 when the support part 1 is connected to the counterpart 8 in the manner shown in FIG. 2.
  • a stop leg 16 is angled in each case, which in the assembled state (FIG. 2) each has the free end 5 of the associated U-leg 4 abuts, preferably from the outside.
  • the connection between the support part 1 and the counterpart 8 is preferably made in such a way that the two free ends 5 of the U-legs 4 are pressed together and inserted into the counterpart 8 through the recesses 12. Then the U-legs 4 are released and spring outwards, so that their notches 6 snap into the latching strips 14.
  • beads 19 are provided, which are each perpendicular to these bending edges 3, 10, 13, 15 and extend into the two adjacent sheet metal surfaces .
  • These beads 19 are preferably formed in a projecting manner inwards and are designed such that they also run continuously in the area of the respective bending edge 3, 10, 13 and 15.
  • Fig. 2 shows the use of the support member 1 and the counterpart 8 to form a closed frame, in which a wide span support 22 is inserted with a box-shaped cross section.
  • the counterpart 8 has in its base plate 9 a connection opening 23 into which, for example, a hanger rod 24, indicated only by dash-dotted lines, engages, with which the counterpart 8 is suspended from a structural ceiling.
  • the supporting part 1 of the multi-purpose hanger is used to hang a C-shaped rail 7 from a wide span support 22.
  • the reversely deformed support part 1 reaches over the wide span support 22; its downwardly projecting U-legs 4 engage in the upwardly open C-profile rail 7, their mutually projecting locking strips 25 engaging in the locking incisions 6 at the free ends 5 of the U-legs 4.
  • a suspension element for example a vibration suspension element 26, engages in a connection opening 27 in the web plate 2 of the supporting part 1.
