Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Plattenverbundsystem für Böden, insbesondere im Freien und in Feuchträumen, aufweisend Platten, die auf mit elastischen Auflagen und mit Kanälen zum Sammeln und Ableiten von Flüssigkeiten versehenen Seitenschienen und zwischen diesen gehalterten Querschienen aufliegen, wobei die Seitenschienen befestigbar auf Längsschienen ruhen und die Seitenschienen sowie die Querschienen als auf einer Unterlage bzw. einem Boden auflegbares Netzwerk ausgebildet sind, und zwischen den Platten und den Seitenschienen und Querschienen angeordnete Dichtungsprofilleisten, die aus einem elastischen Material bestehen und unter Ausübung von Druck zusammendrückbar sind, wobei die in den Seitenschienen befestigten Dichtungsprofilleisten durchgängig sind und die in den Querschienen befestigten Dichtungsprofilleisten der jeweiligen Plattenbreite entsprechen.The invention relates to a composite panel system for floors, especially outdoors and in damp rooms, having panels, the on with elastic pads and with channels for Collection and drainage of liquid side rails and rest between these crossbars the side rails can be fastened on longitudinal rails rest and the side rails as well as the cross rails as a base or a floor-mounted network and between the plates and the side rails and cross rails arranged sealing profile strips that from an elastic material and exercising Pressure is compressible, the one in the side rails attached sealing profile strips are continuous and the sealing profile strips fastened in the cross rails correspond to the respective plate width.

Unter Platten sollen im folgenden nicht nur Bodenplatten mit den verschiedenen Abmessungen sondern auch Fliesen und sonstige modulare Elemente verstanden werden.In the following, not only floor slabs should be included under slabs the different dimensions but also tiles and other modular elements can be understood.

Beim Verlegen von Platten auf Böden kommt es darauf an, daß die Platten eine ebene Fläche bilden und die Verlegearbeiten dabei möglichst zeitsparend vorgenommen werden. Befindet sich ein solcher Boden in einem Feuchtraum oder sogar im Freien, so kommt es leicht zur Bildung von Flüssigkeitsansammlungen auf dem Boden, die entfernt werden müssen. Andernfalls verschmutzt der Plattenboden, z.B. durch Schimmel- und Moosbildung, wodurch er unansehnlich wird und ungünstigenfalls Rutschgefahr entsteht.When laying slabs on floors, it is important that the panels form a flat surface and the laying work be made as time-saving as possible. Is located such a floor in a damp room or even outdoors, it is easy for liquid to build up on the floor that need to be removed. Otherwise dirty the slab floor, e.g. through mold and moss formation, which makes it unsightly and in the worst case There is a risk of slipping.

Die DE-A1-42 33 175 offenbart ein Plattenverlegesystem, das als Trageinrichtungen Seiten- und Querschienen aufweist, auf denen die Platten aufliegen, wobei die Schienen mit Kanälen zum Sammeln und Ableiten von Flüssigkeiten, meistens Wasser, ausgebildet sind. Als Abdichtungselement zwischen benachbarten Platten ist eine Fugenleiste vorgesehen, die im wesentlichen T-förmig ausgebildet und mit ihrem unteren Ende in einer Stegleiste der zugehörigen Seiten- bzw. Querschiene gehaltert ist. Der obere Bereich der Fugenleiste ruht dabei an den abgeschrägten Kanten der Platten. Bei dieser bekannten Lösung werden die Platten auf die entsprechenden mit Auflagen versehenen Seiten- und Querschienen aufgelegt und die aus Metall bestehende Fugenleiste zwischen die Platten eingebracht. Durch die T-förmige Ausbildung der Fugenleiste läßt diese keine Variabilität hinsichtlich des Abstandes zwischen den benachbarten Platten zu. Insofern ergeben sich Mängel bei der Abdichtung zwischen benachbarten Platten, da sich ein Spalt zwischen den Platten und der Fugenleiste bildet, in den Flüssigkeit eindringt. Dies wiederum führt zu einer Ansammlung einer großen Menge von Flüssigkeit, die unterhalb der Platten im Netzwerk des Plattenverlegesystems abgeleitet werden muß. DE-A1-42 33 175 discloses a panel laying system which has side and cross rails as supporting devices which the panels rest on, the rails with channels for collecting and draining liquids, mostly water, are trained. As a sealing element between neighboring ones A joint strip is provided, which essentially T-shaped and with its lower end in one Sidelight of the associated side or cross rail supported is. The upper area of the joint strip rests on the beveled Edges of the panels. With this known solution the plates are covered with the corresponding ones Side and cross rails laid on and made of metal existing joint strip inserted between the panels. Due to the T-shaped design of the joint strip, it leaves no variability in the distance between the neighboring plates too. In this respect there are shortcomings in the Sealing between adjacent panels as there is a gap between the boards and the joint strip forms in the liquid penetrates. This in turn leads to an accumulation a large amount of liquid underneath the plates must be derived in the network of the plate laying system.

Es ist daher Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, ein Plattenverbundsystem der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, das eine sichere Abdichtung der Platten unter Einhaltung relativ großer Toleranzen gewährleistet und dabei leicht zu montieren ist.It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a composite panel system to create the one mentioned secure sealing of the panels while maintaining relative Guaranteed large tolerances and easy to assemble is.

Erfindungsgemäß wird die Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, daß die Dichtungsprofilleiste im Querschnitt eine im wesentlichen Doppel-T-Form mit einem unteren Befestigungsansatz zur Aufnahme in einer Stegleiste der Seitenschiene bzw. der Querschiene aufweist und der obere Bereich der Dichtungsprofilleiste in Längsrichtung gespalten und unter Vorspannung stehend nach außen gerichtet und gegen die abgeschrägten oberen Kanten der Platten unter Druckausübung anpreßbar ist.According to the invention the object is achieved in that the Sealing profile strip in cross-section essentially Double-T shape with a lower attachment for mounting in a strip of the side rail or cross rail and the upper area of the sealing profile strip split lengthways and under tension outward and against the bevelled upper Edges of the plates can be pressed under pressure.

Durch diese Maßnahmen kann sich unterhalb der Platten weniger Flüssigkeit ansammeln, da die Fugen zwischen den Platten durch die Dichtungsprofilleisten relativ dicht abgedichtet sind. Aufgrund der Vorspannung im oberen Bereich der Dichtungsprofilleiste ist ein sicheres Anlegen und weitgehendes Abdichten benachbarter Platten an ihren oberen Seitenkanten durch die Dichtungsprofilleiste erreicht.These measures can reduce the amount underneath the plates Accumulate liquid as the joints between the panels sealed relatively tight by the sealing profile strips are. Due to the preload in the upper area of the sealing profile strip is a safe investment and extensive Sealing adjacent panels on their upper side edges reached through the sealing profile strip.

Die Dichtungsprofilleiste besteht bevorzugt aus Gummi, einem gummiartigen oder nachgiebigen Kunststoffmaterial. Hierdurch kann sich beim Ausüben eines Druckes auf die Platten gegeneinander die Dichtungsprofilleiste fest an die abgeschrägten Kanten bzw. Stirnseiten der Platten anlegen. Diese Maßnahme vermindert ebenfalls die Gefahr der Ansammlung von Flüssigkeit unterhalb der Platten. The sealing profile strip is preferably made of rubber, one rubbery or resilient plastic material. Hereby can exert pressure on the plates against each other the sealing profile strip firmly to the beveled Lay the edges or end faces of the panels. This measure also reduces the risk of fluid accumulation below the plates.

Bevorzugt ist der untere Bereich der Doppel-T-Form der Dichtungsprofilleiste an der Unterseite der Platten anlegbar. Dies erzeugt einen weiteren Abdichtungseffekt.The lower region of the double-T shape of the sealing profile strip is preferred can be put on the underside of the plates. This creates another sealing effect.

In weiterer Ausbildung der Dichtungsprofilleiste weist diese im mittleren Bereich ihrer im Querschnitt Doppel-T-Form einen nach außen erweiterten stegartigen Abschnitt auf, der gegen die Stirnseite der Platten anlegbar ist. Dieser mittlere Bereich dient einerseits ebenfalls der Abdichtung und andererseits einer gewissen Anschlagbegrenzung bei der Ausübung von Druck auf die Platten gegeneinander.In a further embodiment of the sealing profile strip, this has one in the middle area of their double T-shape in cross section outwardly extended web-like section on the against the face of the plates can be put on. This middle area also serves as a seal on the one hand and on the other a certain stop limit when exercising Pressure on the plates against each other.

Damit eine sichere Halterung der Dichtungsprofilleiste erreicht werden kann, ist zweckmäßigerweise der Befestigungsansatz der Dichtungsprofilleiste hakenartig ausgebildet und mit einer Rückhalteschulter versehen, die die dazu korrespondierenden Aufnahmekanten der Stegleiste der Seitenschiene und der Querschiene hintergreift.So that a secure mounting of the sealing profile strip is achieved can be, the attachment approach is expedient the sealing profile strip hook-shaped and with a retention shoulder, which the corresponding Pick-up edges of the web rail of the side rail and reaches behind the cross rail.

Nach einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sind die Seitenschienen gegenüber den zugehörigen Längsschienen neigungsverstellbar. Hierdurch können die Seitenschienen in ihrer Höhe gegenüber den darunter ruhenden Längsschienen verstellt werden, so daß beispielsweise von einer Raumkante zum Innenraum oder umgekehrt die unter den Platten angesammelte Flüssigkeit vollständig abgeleitet werden kann. Zweckmäßigerweise sind die Seitenschienen und die Querschienen mit Kanälen zum Sammeln und Ableiten von Flüssigkeiten versehen.According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention are the side rails compared to the associated longitudinal rails adjustable inclination. This allows the side rails in height compared to the longitudinal rails below be adjusted so that, for example, from a room edge to the interior or vice versa the accumulated under the panels Liquid can be drained completely. Conveniently are the side rails and the cross rails with Provide channels for collecting and draining liquids.

Zum Ableiten der sich in den Kanälen der Seitenschienen und Querschienen ansammelnden Flüssigkeit aus dem durch die Längsschienen gebildeten Netzwerk nach außerhalb in eine geeignete Flüssigkeitsaufnahmeeinrichtung sind nach einer weiteren Ausgestaltung im Bereich der Kreuzungsstellen zwischen Tragschiene bzw. Längsschienen und Seitenschienen Verschraubungen vorgesehen, durch die die Seitenschienen gegenüber den Längsschienen höhenvariabel bzw. neigunsgvariabel einstellbar sind. Dadurch kann eine geringfügige, aber ausreichende Neigung des Bodens innerhalb des Netzwerkes über einen bestimmten Bereich oder über dessen gesamte Länge erhalten werden. Zur Verschraubung sind vorzugsweise Madenschrauben vorgesehen, die eine variable Neigungseinstellung ermöglichen. To derive the in the channels of the side rails and Liquid accumulating from the cross rails through the Longitudinal rails formed outside in a suitable network Liquid absorption devices are after another Design in the area of the intersection between DIN rail or longitudinal rails and side rails screw connections provided by which the side rails opposite the Longitudinal rails adjustable in height or incline variable are. This can result in a slight but sufficient incline of the soil within the network over a certain Area or over its entire length. Grub screws are preferably provided for screwing, which allow a variable inclination adjustment.

Fig. 1 zeigt die perspektivische Ansicht des als Netzwerk ausgebildeten Plattenverbundsystems, wobei lediglich ein Bereich von vier Platten 2 dargestellt ist. Diese Platten 2, beispielsweise Keramikplatten oder Fliesen, ruhen mittels eines Verbundes auf einem Boden bzw. einer Unterlage 4. Dazu sind auf den Boden bzw. die Unterlage 4 in gleichmäßigen Abständen Tragschienen 6 angeordnet und zwar in Abhängigkeit von der Breite der zu verlegenden Platten 2. So können zum Beispiel bei kleinen Platten jeweils im Abstand von zwei Platten 2 solche Tragschienen 6 angeordnet werden oder bei Verwendung von großflächigen Platten jeweils zwischen zwei aufeinanderfolgenden Platten 2.Fig. 1 shows the perspective view of the network trained panel system, with only one area of four plates 2 is shown. These plates 2, for example ceramic plates or tiles, rest by means of a Composite on a floor or a base 4. For this are on the floor or the base 4 at regular intervals Support rails 6 arranged and depending of the width of the slabs to be laid 2. So for Example with small plates at intervals of two Plates 2 such support rails 6 are arranged or at Use of large plates between two successive plates 2.

Jeweils im Abstand zweier benachbarter Platten 2 erstrecken sich quer zu den Tragschienen 6 Längsschienen 8, deren Ausbildung besonders deutlich in Fig. 3 zu erkennen ist.Extend each at a distance from two adjacent plates 2 transversely to the mounting rails 6 longitudinal rails 8, their training 3 can be seen particularly clearly.

Ebenfalls im Abstand zweier benachbarter Platten 2 und in Eingriff mit den Längsschienen 8 sind Seitenschienen 10 angeordnet, deren Ausbildung besonders deutlich in Fig. 3 zu erkennen ist.Also at a distance from two adjacent plates 2 and in Engagement with the longitudinal rails 8, side rails 10 are arranged, the formation of which can be seen particularly clearly in FIG. 3 is.

Im Abstand zweier benachbarter Platten 2, jedoch quer zu den Längsschienen 8 bzw. Seitenschienen 10 erstrecken sich Querschienen 12, deren konstruktive Ausbildung in Fig. 4 zu ersehen ist. In den Kreuzungsbereichen zwischen der Tragschiene 6 und dem Boden bzw. der Unterlage 4 sind diese vorzugsweise mittels Schrauben 14 fest miteinander verbunden, um das Plattenverbundsystem zu stabilisieren und festzulegen.At a distance from two adjacent plates 2, but transversely to the Longitudinal rails 8 and side rails 10 extend cross rails 12, the design of which can be seen in FIG. 4 is. In the crossing areas between the mounting rail 6 and the floor or the base 4, these are preferred firmly connected to each other by means of screws 14 to the plate system to stabilize and fix.

Die Fig. 2 zeigt einen vergrößerten Ausschnitt der Fig. 1, wobei insbesondere die Lage einer Querschiene 12 deutlich wird. Des weiteren ist zu erkennen, daß die Seitenschiene 10 und die Querschiene 12 jeweils mit Auflagen 16 versehen sind, auf denen die Platten 2 ruhen. Diese Auflagen 16 bestehen vorzugsweise aus einem elastischen Profilmaterial. Diese bewirken auch eine Dämmung und Minderung des Trittschalls.2 shows an enlarged section of FIG. 1, the position of a cross rail 12 being particularly clear becomes. Furthermore, it can be seen that the side rail 10 and the cross rail 12 are each provided with supports 16, on which the plates 2 rest. These conditions 16 exist preferably made of an elastic profile material. Do this also insulation and reduction of the impact sound.

Am hinteren Ende der Tragschiene 6 und der zugehörigen Längsschiene 8 ist ein Blech 18 vorgesehen, das mit der Tragschiene 6 verschraubt ist. Dieses Blech 18 bildet einen Wandabschluß und liegt daher an einer nicht dargestellten Wand an und kann durch eine geeignete Wandbefestigung 22, beispielsweise durch Verschraubung mit dieser verbunden werden. In ähnlicher Weise enthält lediglich die der Wand am nächsten liegende Querschiene 12 ein Anschlagblech 20, an dem die Stirnseiten der abschließenden Platten 2 anliegen.At the rear end of the mounting rail 6 and the associated longitudinal rail 8, a sheet 18 is provided, which with the mounting rail 6 is screwed. This sheet 18 forms a wall closure and is therefore against a wall, not shown and can by a suitable wall mounting 22, for example be screwed to it. In Similarly, only contains the one closest to the wall lying cross rail 12 a stop plate 20 on which the Face the end of the final panels 2.

Aus Fig. 2 geht weiterhin hervor, daß die Seitenschiene 10 gegenüber der mit der Tragschiene 6 fest verschraubten Längsschiene 8 höhenvariabel einstellbar ausgebildet ist. Zu diesem Zweck ist im Kreuzungsbereich zwischen Tragschiene 6, Längsschiene 8 und Seitenschiene 10 im Flüssigkeit aufnehmenden Kanal 28 der Seitenschiene 10 eine Madenschraube 26 eingedreht. Wird diese Madenschraube 26 weiter eingedreht, stößt sie auf den Widerstand der Tragschiene 6 und bewirkt dadurch eine Neigung der Seitenschiene 10 gegenüber der Längsschiene 8.2 also shows that the side rail 10 compared to the longitudinal rail firmly screwed to the mounting rail 6 8 is adjustable in height. To this Purpose is in the area of intersection between mounting rail 6, Longitudinal rail 8 and side rail 10 in the liquid absorbing Channel 28 of the side rail 10 a grub screw 26 screwed. If this grub screw 26 is screwed in further, bumps it on the resistance of the mounting rail 6 and thereby causes an inclination of the side rail 10 with respect to the longitudinal rail 8th.

Gemäß Fig. 3 sind deutlich die Kanäle 28 in den Seitenschienen 10 zu sehen, in denen die Verschraubung 24 in Verbindung mit der Madenschraube 26 dargestellt ist. Die Längsschiene 8 besitzt Ausformungen 30, die in entsprechenden gegenüberliegenden Ausformungen in der Seitenschiene 10 geführt sind. Diese Ausformungen 30 weisen eine derart große Höhe auf, daß eine Verstellbarkeit der Seitenschiene 10 gegenüber der Längsschiene 8 problemlos möglich ist. Des weiteren sind in Fig. 3 die Dichtungsprofilleisten 32 in den Seitenschienen 10 bzw. Querschienen 12 zu erkennen.3, the channels 28 are clearly in the side rails 10 can be seen in which the screw connection 24 is shown with the grub screw 26. The longitudinal rail 8 has formations 30 which are in corresponding opposite Formations in the side rail 10 are performed. These formations 30 have such a great height that an adjustability of the side rail 10 relative to the Longitudinal rail 8 is easily possible. Furthermore, in 3 shows the sealing profile strips 32 in the side rails 10 or to recognize cross rails 12.

Fig. 4 zeigt die Perspektivansicht des Plattenverbundsystems im Bereich einer Querschiene 12. Die Querschiene 12 besitzt in ihrem mittleren Abschnitt ebenso wie die Seitenschiene 10 eine Stegleiste 34, in der das Dichtungsprofil 32 aufgenommen ist. Beiderseits der Stegleiste 34 sind ebenso wie in der Seitenschiene 10 die Kanäle 28 zum Sammeln und Ableiten von Flüssigkeit ausgebildet. An den äußeren Seitenenden der Querschiene 12 ist ebenso wie bei der Seitenschiene 10 jeweils eine Aufnahme 35 für die elastischen Auflagen 16 vorgesehen, auf denen die Platten 2 aufliegen.Fig. 4 shows the perspective view of the panel system in the area of a cross rail 12. The cross rail 12 has in its central section as well as the side rail 10 a web strip 34 in which the sealing profile 32 is received is. Both sides of the web strip 34 are as in the Side rail 10, the channels 28 for collecting and deriving Liquid formed. At the outer side ends of the cross rail 12 is the same as for the side rail 10 in each case a receptacle 35 is provided for the elastic pads 16, on which the plates 2 rest.

In Fig. 5 ist in stark vergrößerter Ansicht der Querschnitt einer Dichtungsprofilleiste 32 dargestellt, der im wesentlichen eine Doppel-T-Form einnimmt. Der obere Bereich des Doppel-T-Form-Querschnitts ist in Längsrichtung der Dichtungsprofilleiste 32 gespalten und weist somit einen Spalt 36 auf, der im unbelasteten Zustand der Dichtungsprofilleiste 32 geöffnet ist. Die oberen Dichtlippen 38 der Dichtungsprofilleiste 32 befinden sich in diesem Zustand auf Grund des elastischen Materials, aus dem die Dichtungsprofilleiste 32 besteht, unter einer gewissen Vorspannung, wodurch diese Dichtlippen 38 gemäß dem dargestellten Pfeil in Fig. 5 auseinander geklappt sind. Wird ein Druck auf die Platten 2 gegeneinander ausgeübt, gelangen die Dichtlippen 38 der Dichtungsprofilleiste 32 aufeinander zu und bewegen sich gleichzeitig in Richtung der abgeschrägten Kanten 40 der Platten 2 und verringern den Spalt 36 in der Dichtungsprofilleiste 32 gegen Null. Durch die Vorspannung der elastischen Dichtlippen 38 erfolgt deren abdichtende Anlage an den abgeschrägten Kanten 40 der Platten 2.5 is the cross section in a greatly enlarged view a sealing profile strip 32 shown, the substantially adopts a double T shape. The top of the double T shape cross section is in the longitudinal direction of the sealing profile strip 32 split and thus has a gap 36, opened in the unloaded state of the sealing profile strip 32 is. The upper sealing lips 38 of the sealing profile strip 32 are in this state due to the elastic Material from which the sealing profile strip 32 is made, under a certain preload, which causes these sealing lips 38 according to the arrow shown in Fig. 5 apart are working. A pressure on the plates 2 against each other exercised, the sealing lips 38 of the sealing profile strip 32 towards each other and move in the same direction the chamfered edges 40 of the plates 2 and reduce the gap 36 in the sealing profile strip 32 towards zero. By prestressing the elastic sealing lips 38 their sealing abutment on the beveled edges 40 of the Plates 2.

Im mittleren Bereich der Dichtungsprofilleiste 32 befindet sich ein stegartiger Abschnitt 42, der sich nach außen erstreckt und sich gegen die Stirnseiten der Platten 2 abstützt. Der untere Bereich 44 der Doppel-T-Form liegt mit seinen Dichtlippen an der Unterseite der jeweils zugehörigen Platte 2 an. Somit bilden die oberen Dichtlippen 38, die stegartigen Abschnitte 42 und die unteren Dichtlippen 46 eine nahezu sichere Abdichtung der Platten 2 gegeneinander. Unterhalb des unteren Bereiches 44 des Querschnitts der Doppel-T-Form der Dichtungsprofilleiste 32 ist ein Befestigungsansatz 48 vorgesehen, der im wesentlichen pfeilförmig ausgebildet ist und eine Rückhalteschulter 50 aufweist, die mit entsprechenden Aufnahmekanten 52 der Stegleiste 24 der Seitenschiene 10 oder der Querschiene 12 in Eingriff bringbar ist und gehaltert wird.Located in the central area of the sealing profile strip 32 there is a web-like section 42 which extends outwards and is supported against the end faces of the plates 2. The lower region 44 of the double-T shape lies with its sealing lips on the underside of the associated Plate 2. The upper sealing lips 38 thus form the web-like ones Sections 42 and the lower sealing lips 46 a almost secure sealing of the plates 2 against each other. Below of the lower region 44 of the cross section of the double-T shape the sealing profile strip 32 is a fastening approach 48 provided, which is essentially arrow-shaped and has a retention shoulder 50 which corresponds with corresponding Receiving edges 52 of the web strip 24 of the side rail 10 or the cross rail 12 is engageable and supported becomes.
