Definitions

• the invention relates to a wall for the cabin of a paint shop, comprising a plurality of wall elements, each of which comprises:
• a frame made up of at least two vertical posts and at least two horizontal bars;
• At least the posts consist of a folded sheet metal profile, the cross-sectional shape of which is basically rectangular, whereby
• adjacent wall elements abut each other on the fourth legs of adjacent posts and are connected here, in such a way that the free
• edges of the respective third leg of the adjacent posts delimit a slit-shaped common access opening to the interior of the two adjacent posts, which can be closed by a common, releasable cover.
• Cables or other installation components that can be reached via the slot-shaped access openings are usually laid in the hollow frame of such wall elements.
• the access openings are normally closed by covers.
• extruded aluminum profiles for the hollow frame parts (posts and / or transoms). Since this material no longer met the recently increased fire protection requirements in certain applications, the extruded aluminum profiles were also replaced in some cases by folded sheet steel profiles.
• Such a wall which corresponds to the type mentioned at the outset, is described in EP 0 647 476 AI.
• the cross-sectional shape of the post profiles shown there has shortened legs that lie completely within the rectangular basic contour, which is the geometric basis for this profile.
• the cover which closes the access slot to the interior of the two adjacent posts, is a flat sheet metal strip which is mounted with screws on the shortened legs of the two adjacent posts and which extend parallel to the corresponding plate.
• the "open" edge profile of the posts used here must be in order to achieve the required mechanical see stiffness to be made from a relatively thick sheet. The covers are complicated to assemble and detach.
• the object of the present invention is to design a wall of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that the posts have high mechanical strength, in particular bending and torsional rigidity, with little use of material, and that the cover can be fastened in a simple and optically pleasing manner.
• the cover is a molded sheet metal part which has a base running parallel to the plate in the assembly position and two lateral legs bent in the direction of the plates, it can be inserted particularly easily between the regions of the third legs of the two posts bent towards the plate become. In many cases, the mechanical friction between the parts then lying against one another is already sufficient to at least temporarily fix the cover.
• an embodiment of the invention is possible in which the cover is provided with a rotary latch which can be actuated from the outside and which engages behind a bent area of at least one post in a first rotational position and in a further rotational position is released from this bent area, so that the cover can be removed.
• the actuating element for the rotary latch can consist of a simple shaft provided with a screwdriver slot or a polygonal recess. However, if access to the interior of the two adjacent posts is to be reserved for certain people, the actuating member can also be designed as a special tool or as a key.
• Figure 1 schematically the external view of two juxtaposed wall elements, the part of the wall one
• FIG. 1 two wall elements 1, 2 are shown, which, if necessary together with other, identical to these left and right adjoining wall elements, form the wall of the cabin of a painting system.
• the wall elements 1, 2 comprise, in a manner known per se, a profile frame 3 which in turn is spanned by two lateral, vertical posts 4, 5 and, in the exemplary embodiment shown, four horizontal bars 6, 7, 8, 9.
• the fields delimited by the posts 4, 5 and the bars 6, 7, 8, 9 are closed from behind in FIG. 1 by plates 10, 11, 12 which are fastened to the frame 3 in a manner not of interest here. Since the plates 10, 11, 12 point to the inside of the cabin, where they are exposed to the paint used here and the solvents used for cleaning, they consist of a material that is chemically resistant to these substances. Sheets made of glass or at least on the surface corrosion-resistant sheet metal are preferred, e.g. fire-aluminized sheet steel. In Figure 1, the outside of the wall elements 1, 2 can be seen.
• Frame 3 of the wall elements 1, 2 consist of folded steel sheet, the profile shape of which is explained in more detail below with reference to FIG. 2.
• both the post 5a and the post 4b have the basic shape of a rectangle, which, however, is not completely closed.
• the profile legs 13a and 13b, which are each adjacent to the corresponding plates 11a and 11b, as well as the legs 14a and 14b, which adjoin this perpendicularly and point towards the center of the wall element 1 and 2, have the full extent of the corresponding rectangular side.
• the legs 15a and 15b which connect to the other side of the legs 13a, 13b facing away from the center of the wall element 1 or 2 and extend parallel to the legs 14a and 14b, extend only over a part of the corresponding ones complete side of the rectangle, as can be seen directly from FIG. 2.
• the profile legs 16a and 16b which adjoin the profile legs 14a and 14b at right angles and run approximately parallel to the profile legs 13a, 13b, also extend only over part of the assigned rectangular side. They are angled twice at right angles and in opposite directions, such that these legs 15a and 15b each have a first bent region 40a, 40b to be extended onto the corresponding plate 11a, 11b and a second bent region 41a extending parallel to the respective plate 11a, 11b, 41b.
• the arrangement is such that the interior of both posts 5a and 4b is accessible through the opening which is delimited by the free edges of the legs 16a or 16b and 15a or 15b. Installation elements, in particular cables, can be accommodated in these interiors in a known manner.
• the described design of the two adjacent profile legs 16a and 16b of the posts 5a and 4b creates a receiving space 17 for a cover 18 with which the interior of both posts 5a and 4b can be closed at the same time.
• the cover 18 includes a base 18a which is in the mounting position with the outside Regions of the legs 16a and 16b of the posts 5a and 4b are aligned, as well as two lateral legs 18b and 18c bent from the base 18a at right angles, which on the respective bent regions 40a, 40b of the corresponding legs 16a and
• the cover 18 can thus simply be pushed into the receiving space 17 formed by the profiling of the profile legs 16a and 16b as described.
• the cover 18 can be fastened within the receiving space 17 by friction, but better by simply latching or clipping.
• a number of rotary bolts 19 are provided, which are arranged one above the other at a vertical distance.
• the rotary latches 19 are shaped sheet metal strips, the longitudinal extent of which is greater than the distance between the free edges of the profile legs 16a and 16b of the posts 5a and 4b.
• the rotary latches 19 can thus be placed from behind in the manner shown in FIG. 2 over the bent regions 41a, 41b of the profile legs 16a and 16b, which run parallel to the plates 11a, 11b.
• the cover 18 can obviously not be removed to the outside in this position of the rotary latch 19.
• Each rotary latch 19 is fastened to a rotary shaft which is mounted in a housing 42 fastened to the base 18a of the cover 18.
• This rotary shaft can be rotated together with the rotary bolt 19 from the outside by a suitable tool. It can be seen in this way that the rotary latch 19 can be brought into a rotational position in which its outermost ends no longer engage behind the profile legs 16a and 16b of the posts 5a and 4b; then the cover 18 can be easily removed to the outside.
• G U. CD
• Posts 5a and 4b are attached to one another without the interior of the posts 5a and 4b having to be accessible for this purpose.
• the left plate 11a is drawn as sheet metal, while the right plate 11b is a sheet of glass.
• the attachment is carried out with the aid of frame profiles 27, 28, which overlap the corresponding plates 11a and 11b with a corresponding leg and with screws 29 and 30 and associated cage nuts 42, 43 on the adjacent legs 13a and 13b of the posts 5a and 4b are attached.
• a corresponding strip-shaped insert 31 and 32 is provided between the respective plates 11a and 11b and the corresponding legs 13a and 13b. Details of the attachment of the plates 11a and 11b are, however, of no interest in the present context
