Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Profilstab zur Befestigung wenigstens eines flächigen Elements nach der Gattung des unabhängigen Anspruchs. Ein derartiger Profilstab geht beispielsweise aus der DE 39 00411 A-1 hervor, wobei an den Begrenzungswänden der Aufnahmenuten Rillen und Ausnehmungen vorgesehen sind, die zur Aufnahme von überschüssiger Klebemasse dienen, wenn die Wandungen eines Koffers mit den Profilen verklebt werden. Die Spitzen der Rillen ragen nicht über eine von den Seitenwänden der U-förmigen Aufnahmenuten gebildeten Ebene hinaus. Der Grund dafür ist, daß die Rillen, wie bereits geschildert, der Aufnahme überschüssiger Klebemasse dienen. Deshalb haben die Rillen keinen Einfluß auf die Haltekraft für die Wandungen des Koffers.The invention relates to a profile bar for attachment of at least one planar element according to the preamble of the independent claim. Such a profile bar is for example known from DE 39 00411 A-1, wherein grooves and recesses are provided on the boundary walls of the receiving grooves, which serve to receive excess adhesive when the walls of a suitcase are glued to the profiles. The tips of the grooves do not project beyond a plane formed by the side walls of the U-shaped grooves. The reason for this is that the grooves, as already described, serve to absorb excess adhesive. Therefore, the grooves have no influence on the holding force for the walls of the case.

Aus der DE 42 08 720 A1 ist ein Profilstab zur Befestigung wenigstens eines flächigen Elements bekannt, der eine Aufnahme für das flächige Element aufweist, deren Breite teilweise geringer als die Dicke des flächigen Elements ist, so daß das flächige Element durch Klemmen in der Aufnahme fixierbar ist. Eine Begrenzungswand weist zwei Vorsprünge auf. Diese sind rund ausgebildet und sollen eine bessere Abstützung sowie zwei definierte Punkte bzw. Linien für das flächige Element ermöglichen. Die Haltekraft für das flächige Element ist dadurch beim Herausziehen nicht sehr groß. Außerdem ergibt sich dadurch eine geringe Klemmfläche, durch die die Flächenpressung relativ groß ist. Die Aufnahme ist nicht U-förmig ausgebildet, da sie an einer Ecke einen Schlitz aufweist. Durch diesen Schlitz ist die Haltekraft nochmals vermindert.From DE 42 08 720 A1 discloses a profile bar for fixing at least one planar element is known, which has a receptacle for the sheet-like element whose width is partially smaller than the thickness of the sheet-like element, so that the sheet-like element can be fixed by clamping in the receptacle is. A boundary wall has two projections. These are designed around and are to provide better support and two defined points or lines for the sheet element. The holding force for the planar element is thus not very large when pulling out. In addition, this results in a small clamping surface through which the surface pressure is relatively large. The receptacle is not U-shaped, since it has a slot at one corner. Through this slot, the holding force is reduced again.

Bei einem in der US-A-5,551,205 offenbarten Profilstab besteht das Problem, daß ein flächiges Element lediglich von zwei im Bereich einer Längsnutöffnung angeordneten Lippen gehalten wird. Dadurch ist nur eine sehr geringe Abstützung und Haltekraft gegeben. Weiterhin bewirkt die linienförmige Klemmung des flächigen Elements in der Profilnut, daß bei einer Querbelastung des Schutzgitters diese geringe Klemmfläche wie ein Gelenk wirkt, und das flächige Element sich daher schon bei einer geringen Belastung an der gesamten Klemmfläche verformt. Bei einem weiteren in dieser Schrift offenbarten Profilstab ist ein zusätzliches Element erforderlich, um ein flächiges Element zu halten, was mit einem erhöhen Montageaufwand verbunden ist. Dieses zusätzliche Element ist weiterhin aus einem weicheren Element als der Profilstab hergestellt, was eine verminderte Haltekraft zur Folge hat.In a profile bar disclosed in US Pat. No. 5,551,205, there is the problem that a planar element is held only by two lips arranged in the region of a longitudinal slot opening. As a result, only a very small support and holding power is given. Furthermore, the line-shaped clamping of the flat element in the profile groove, that acts at a transverse load of the protective grid, this small clamping surface as a joint, and the sheet-like element therefore already deformed at a low load on the entire clamping surface. In another disclosed in this document profile bar, an additional element is required to hold a sheet-like element, which is associated with an increased installation effort. This additional element is further made of a softer element than the profile bar, resulting in a reduced holding force result.

Bei einem aus der FR-A-2 309 695 bekannter Profilstab ist eine Aufnahme für eine Platte mit einer C-Form vorgesehen, in der an zwei sich gegenüberliegenden Seiten jeweils zwei längliche Fortsätze ausgebildet sind, die die Platte halten. Dadurch ergibt sich eine geringe Klemmfläche, was bei Querkräften zu Verformungen der Platten an den Klemmbereichen führen kann.In a profile bar known from FR-A-2 309 695 a receptacle is provided for a plate with a C-shape, in which on two opposite sides in each case two elongated extensions are formed, which hold the plate. This results in a small clamping surface, which can lead to deformations of the plates at the clamping areas with lateral forces.

Aus der US -A-3,770.245 ist ein Profilstab bekannt, der eine U-förmige Aufnahme für ein flächiges Element aufweist. An der Längsnutöffnung ist auf jeder Seite jeweils eine Erhebung ausgebildet. Dies führt zu einer geringen Klemmfläche, durch die die Flächenpressung relativ groß ist. Die Haltekraft für das flächige Element, insbesondere beim Herausziehen ist somit nicht wesentlich vergrößert. Wird das flächige Element mit Querkräften beaufschlagt, bewirkt die linienförmige Klemmung des flächigen Elements in der Längsnut, daß bei einer Querbelastung des flächigen Elements diese geringe Klemmfläche wie ein Gelenk wirkt, und das flächige Element sich daher schon bei einer geringen Belastung an der gesamten Klemmfläche verformt. Durch die runde Ausbildung der Erhebungen wirken diese beim Herausziehen des flächigen Elements aus der Aufnahme nicht als Widerhaken für das flächige Element.From US-A-3,770,245 a profile bar is known, which has a U-shaped receptacle for a planar element. At the Längsnutöffnung a survey is formed on each side. This leads to a small clamping surface, through which the surface pressure is relatively large. The holding force for the planar element, in particular when pulling out is thus not significantly increased. If the planar element is subjected to transverse forces, the linear clamping of the planar element in the longitudinal groove causes the small clamping surface to act like a joint during a transverse loading of the planar element, and the planar element therefore already deforms at the slightest load on the entire clamping surface , Due to the rounded shape of the elevations, these do not act as barbs for the flat element when the flat element is pulled out of the receptacle.

Weiterhin sind aus der DE-U 91 03 993, der EP-A-0 443 441 und der US-A-4,132,390 Profilstäbe bekannt, die als Rahmenelemente zur Ausbildung eines Schutzzaunes dienen. Sie weisen an ihren Seitenflächen eine hinterschnittene Längsnut auf, in die ein Schutzgitter hineinragt. Um das Schutzgitter in der Längsnut zu befestigen, dient ein keilförmiger Körper, der das Schutzgitter im Bereich der Nutöffnung einklemmt. Durch die Verwendung des zusätzlichen Keiles ist ein erhöhter Montageaufwand bei der Herstellung derartiger Schutzzäune erforderlich. Ferner ist dadurch, daß das Schutzgitter lediglich im Bereich der Längsnutöffnung mit dem Profilstab verbunden ist, eine relativ hohe Klemmspannung erforderlich, um das Schutzgitter sicher zu fixieren. Weiterhin bewirkt die fast nur linienförmige Klemmung des Schutzgitters in der Profilnut, daß bei einer Querbelastung des Schutzgitters diese geringe Klemmfläche wie ein Gelenk wirkt, und das Schutzgitter sich daher schon bei einer geringen Belastung an der gesamten Klemmfläche verformt.Furthermore, from DE-U 91 03 993, EP-A-0 443 441 and US-A-4,132,390 profile bars are known which serve as frame elements for the formation of a protective fence. They have on their side surfaces on an undercut longitudinal groove, into which projects a protective grid. In order to secure the protective grid in the longitudinal groove, a wedge-shaped body is used, which clamps the protective grid in the region of the slot opening. By using the additional wedge increased installation effort in the production of such protective fences is required. Furthermore, the fact that the protective grid is connected only in the region of the Längsnutöffnung with the profiled bar, a relatively high clamping voltage required to securely fix the protective grid. Furthermore, causes the almost only linear clamping of the protective grid in the profile that at a transverse load of the protective grid, this small clamping surface acts as a joint, and the protective grid therefore already deformed at a low load on the entire clamping surface.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, einen Profilstab zu schaffen, der eine erhöhte Haltekraft und eine große Klemmfläche für ein flächiges Element bietet.Object of the present invention is to provide a profile bar, which provides an increased holding force and a large clamping surface for a sheet-like element.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is solved by the features of claim 1.

Durch diese Ausbildung wird ein flächiges Element sicher im Profilstab gehalten. Bei Querkräften ist die Gefahr minimiert, daß sich das flächige Element an der Klemmfläche verformt. Der erfindungsgemäße Profilstab hat weiterhin den Vorteil, daß flächige Elemente, wie beispielsweise Platten oder gitterförmige Elemente, ohne zusätzliche Befestigungsteile direkt und sicher mit dem Profilstab verbunden werden können. Dies erfolgt durch eine besondere Ausbildung der Längsnut, die eine klemmende Fixierung des flächigen Elements in der Längsnut über eine relativ große Klemmfläche ermöglicht.By this design, a planar element is securely held in the profile bar. In lateral forces, the risk is minimized that deforms the sheet-like element on the clamping surface. The profile bar according to the invention also has the advantage that flat elements, such as plates or grid-shaped elements, can be connected directly and safely to the profile bar without additional fasteners. This is done by a special design of the longitudinal groove, which allows a clamping fixation of the sheet-like element in the longitudinal groove over a relatively large clamping surface.

Weitere Vorteile und vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen des erfindungsgemäßen Profilstabs ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen und der Beschreibung.Further advantages and advantageous developments of the profile bar according to the invention will be apparent from the dependent claims and the description.

Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung sind in der Zeichnung dargestellt und werden im folgenden näher erläutert. Es zeigen Figur 1 einen mittels Profilstäben hergestellten Schutzzaun in einer Vorderansicht, Figur 2 einen Schnitt in der Ebene II-II der Figur 1, Figur 3 die Befestigung zweier Profilstäbe in einer teilweise geschnittenen Seitenansicht entsprechend der Einzelheit X der Figur 1, und die Figuren 4 bis 6 Querschnitte durch verschiedene Profilstäbe.Embodiments of the invention are illustrated in the drawings and will be explained in more detail below. 1 shows a protective fence produced by means of profiled bars in a front view, Figure 2 is a section in the plane II-II of Figure 1, Figure 3 shows the attachment of two profile bars in a partially sectioned side view corresponding to the detail X of Figure 1, and Figures 4 to 6 cross sections through different profile bars.

In der Figur 1 ist ein flächiges Element 10 dargestellt, das als Bestandteil eines Schutzzaunes dient, wie er beispielsweise zur Abschrankung in Fertigungshallen bekannt ist, um dort den Zutritt zu bestimmten Bereichen zu verhindern. Das Element 10 weist im einfachsten dargestellten Fall einen rechteckigen Rahmen 11 mit zwei Längsstäben 12 und zwei damit verbundenen Querstäben 13 auf. Die im Aluminium-Strangziehverfahren hergestellten Längsstäbe 12 und die Querstäbe 13 haben jeweils eine unterschiedliche Länge, ansonsten sind sie identisch ausgebildet. Die Verbindung der Längsstäbe 12 mit den Querstäben 13 erfolgt in jeder der Ecken mittels eines Verbindungselements, im dargestellten Beispiel mittels jeweils einer Schraube 14, die mit ihrem Schraubenkopf in eine an einer Seitenfläche angeordneten hinterschnittenen ersten Längsnut 15 eines der Längsstäbe 12 bzw. Querstäbe 13 eingreift, und die in die Stirnseite einer durchgehenden Längsbohrung 16 des Längsstabs 12 bzw. Querstabs 13 einschraubbar ist (Figuren 2 und 3).FIG. 1 shows a planar element 10, which serves as a component of a protective fence, as is known, for example, for the purpose of guarding in production halls in order to prevent access to certain areas there. In the simplest case illustrated, the element 10 has a rectangular frame 11 with two longitudinal bars 12 and two transverse bars 13 connected thereto. The longitudinal bars 12 and the cross bars 13 produced in the aluminum extrusion process each have a different length, otherwise they are identical. The connection of the longitudinal bars 12 with the transverse bars 13 takes place in each of the corners by means of a connecting element, in the example shown by means of a respective screw 14 which engages with its screw head in an arranged on a side surface undercut first longitudinal groove 15 of the longitudinal bars 12 and cross bars 13 , And in the front side of a continuous longitudinal bore 16 of the longitudinal bar 12 and transverse bar 13 can be screwed (Figures 2 and 3).

Innerhalb des Rahmens 11 ist ein Schutzgitter 18 angeordnet. Anstelle des Schutzgitters 18 ist jedoch auch ein anderes Element, zum Beispiel eine Plexiglasscheibe denkbar. Das Schutzgitter 18 weist eine Dicke d auf, die, da die Drähte des Schutzgitters 18 gewellt und miteinander verwoben oder verschweißt sind, größer ist als die eigentliche Drahtstärke.Within the frame 11, a protective grid 18 is arranged. Instead of the protective grid 18, however, another element, for example a plexiglass pane, is also conceivable. The protective grid 18 has a thickness d which, since the wires of the protective grid 18 are corrugated and interwoven or welded together, is greater than the actual wire thickness.

Um das Schutzgitter 18 besonders einfach und sicher mit den Längsstäben 12 und den Querstäben 13 zu verbinden sind diese entsprechend der Figur 4 besonders ausgebildet. Der im Querschnitt in etwa quadratisch ausgebildete Längsstab 12 bzw. Querstab 13 hat an zwei einander gegenüberliegenden Seitenflächen 19, 20 jeweils eine hinterschnittene Längsnut, wovon die eine die bereits erwähnte erste Längsnut 15 ist, und die andere als zweite Längsnut 21 bezeichnet ist. Die beiden Längsnuten 15, 21 dienen entweder als Befestigungsmöglichkeit für die Schraube 14, oder/und zum Befestigen von zusätzlichen Elementen, beispielsweise von Warntafeln, die einfach in die Längsnut 15, 21 eingesteckt und dort durch Klemmwirkung gehalten werden.In order to connect the protective grid 18 in a particularly simple and secure manner to the longitudinal bars 12 and the transverse bars 13, these are specially designed according to FIG. The cross-section in approximately square formed longitudinal bar 12 and transverse bar 13 has on two opposite side surfaces 19, 20 each have an undercut longitudinal groove, one of which is the aforementioned first longitudinal groove 15, and the other is referred to as a second longitudinal groove 21. The two longitudinal grooves 15, 21 serve either as an attachment for the screw 14, or / and for attaching additional elements, such as warning signs, which are simply inserted into the longitudinal groove 15, 21 and held there by clamping action.

Zwischen den beiden Längsnuten 15, 21 ist in einem im Querschnitt quadratisch ausgebildeten Mittelabschnitt 22 die Längsbohrung 16 auf an für sich bekannte Weise ausgebildet. Der Mittelabschnitt 22 ist mittels vierer Stege 23, die sich jeweils in Verlängung gedachter Diagonalen des Mittelabschnitts 22 befinden mit dem übrigen Profilquerschnitt verbunden.Between the two longitudinal grooves 15, 21, the longitudinal bore 16 is formed in a manner known per se in a square cross-sectionally shaped central portion 22. The central portion 22 is connected by means of four webs 23, which are each in extension of imaginary diagonals of the central portion 22 with the remaining profile cross-section.

Seitlich neben den beiden Längsnuten 15, 21 ist eine U-förmige Aufnahme 25 für das Schutzgitter 18 angeordnet. Die Aufnahme 25 hat zwei Begrenzungswände 26, 27, wovon die eine Begrenzungswand 26 einen Schenkel und gleichzeitig eine Seitenwand des Längsstabs 12 bzw. Querstabs 13 ausbildet. Die andere Begrenzungswand 27 ist einerseits mit zwei Stegen 23 mit dem Mittelabschnitt 22 verbunden, und bildet andererseits einen Teil der Begrenzungswände der Längsnuten 15, 21 aus.Laterally next to the two longitudinal grooves 15, 21, a U-shaped receptacle 25 for the protective grid 18 is arranged. The receptacle 25 has two boundary walls 26, 27, of which the one boundary wall 26 forms a leg and at the same time a side wall of the longitudinal bar 12 or transverse bar 13. The other boundary wall 27 is connected on the one hand with two webs 23 with the central portion 22, and on the other hand forms part of the boundary walls of the longitudinal grooves 15, 21 from.

Wesentlich für die Ausbildung der Aufnahme 25 ist, daß deren Innenbreite B zumindest in einem gewissen Abschnitt etwas geringer ist als die Dicke d des Schutzgitters 18. Ferner ist der Boden 28 der Aufnahme 25, der gleichzeitig Teil der Seitenfläche 19 des Längsstabs 12 bzw. Querstabs 13 ist, vorteilhafterweise derart ausgebildet, daß beim Einführen des Schutzgitters 18 in die Aufnahme 25 ein gewisses elastisches Aufweiten durch eine entsprechende Wandstärke bzw. Ausbildung im Übergangsbereich 32 zu der Begrenzungswand 26 der Aufnahme 25 ermöglicht wird. Dadurch läßt sich ein sicheres Klemmen des Schutzgitters 18 in der Aufnahme 25 verwirklichen.It is essential for the formation of the receptacle 25, that the inner width B is at least in a certain portion slightly smaller than the thickness d of the protective grid 18. Further, the bottom 28 of the receptacle 25, which is also part of the side surface 19 of the longitudinal bar 12 or transverse bars 13, advantageously designed such that upon insertion of the protective grid 18 in the receptacle 25 a certain elastic expansion by a corresponding wall thickness or training in the transition region 32 to the boundary wall 26 of the receptacle 25 is made possible. As a result, a secure clamping of the protective grid 18 in the receptacle 25 can be realized.

Eine zusätzliche Vergrößerung der Haltekraft für das Schutzgitter 18 läßt sich erzielen, wenn die dem Schutzgitter 18 zugewandten Flächen der beiden Begrenzungswände 26, 27 mit den in der Figur 4 dargestellten sägezahnförmigen Erhebungen 30 ausgebildet sind. Diese Erhebungen 30 sind derart angeordnet, daß sie beim Herausziehen des Schutzgitters 18 aus der Aufnahme 25 als Widerhaken für das Schutzgitter 18 wirken.An additional increase in the holding force for the protective grid 18 can be achieved if the protective grid 18 facing surfaces of the two boundary walls 26, 27 are formed with the sawtooth-shaped elevations 30 shown in Figure 4. These elevations 30 are arranged such that they act as a barb for the protective grid 18 when pulling out of the protective grid 18 from the receptacle 25.

Der in der Figur 4 dargestellte Längsstab 12 bzw. Querstab 13 läßt sich dahingehend modifizieren, daß an einer oder beiden Seitenflächen 19, 20, an denen die Längsnuten 15, 21 angeordnet sind, zusätzliche Längsnuten ausgebildetsind, die zum Festklemmen zusätzlicher Teile, oder zum Verbinden mit anderen Stäben dienen. Auch ist es denkbar, daß die Erhebungen 30 an den Begrenzungswänden 26, 27 lediglich in bestimmten Abschnitten, oder nur an einer der beiden Begrenzungswände 26, 27 ausgebildet sind.The longitudinal bar 12 or transverse bar 13 shown in FIG. 4 can be modified such that additional longitudinal grooves are formed on one or both side surfaces 19, 20, on which the longitudinal grooves 15, 21 are arranged, for clamping additional parts or for joining serve with other bars. It is also conceivable that the elevations 30 are formed on the boundary walls 26, 27 only in certain sections, or only on one of the two boundary walls 26, 27.

Das in der Figur 5 dargestellte zweite Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung unterscheidet sich von ersterem insbesondere dadurch, daß zwei einander gegenüberliegende Aufnahmen 25a vorgesehen sind. Dies hat zur Folge, daß die Tiefe einer derartigen Aufnahme 25a nunmehr nur noch in etwa die Hälfte der Breite einer Seitenwand beträgt. Ferner ist anstelle des Bodens 28 ein Zwischensteg 31 vorgesehen, der die beiden Aufnahmen 25a voneinander trennt. Der in der Figur 5 dargestellte Profilstab 12a, 13a wird insbesondere zur horizontalen oder vertikalen Teilung vom Rahmen 11 verwendet.The illustrated in Figure 5 second embodiment of the invention differs from the former in particular in that two opposing receptacles 25a are provided. This has the consequence that the depth of such a receptacle 25a now amounts to only about half the width of a side wall. Further, instead of the bottom 28, a gutter 31 is provided, which separates the two receptacles 25a from each other. The profile bar 12a, 13a shown in FIG. 5 is used in particular for horizontal or vertical division of the frame 11.

Ergänzend wird erwähnt, daß zur Erleichterung des Einführens des Schutzgitters 18 in die Aufnahme 25, 25a die Begrenzungswände 26, 27 an der dem Schutzgitter 18 zugewandten Seite bevorzugt mit Einführschrägen 33 versehen sind.In addition, it is mentioned that for relief the insertion of the protective grid 18 in the receptacle 25, 25a, the boundary walls 26, 27 are provided on the protective grid 18 side facing preferably with insertion bevels 33.

Bei dem in der Figur 6 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel eines Profilstabes 12c, 13c kann die Aufnahme 25c zusätzlich zur klemmenden Funktion durch das Anordnen von ein- oder beidseitigen, kleinen seitlichen Nuten 35 in den Begrenzungswänden 26, 27 eine Abdichtung der Schutzgitter 18 mittels darin eingelegten Gummidichtungen übemehmen.In the embodiment of a profile bar 12c, 13c shown in Figure 6, the receptacle 25c in addition to the clamping function by arranging one or both sides, small lateral grooves 35 in the boundary walls 26, 27 take over a seal of the protective grid 18 by means inserted therein rubber seals ,
