Abstract

Partitions are provided, in particular for exhibition or show stands. These partitions can be assembled from a plurality of inherently rigid wall elements, which are each essentially formed from a frame and at least two panel plates covering the frame on the outside. The individual wall elements are releasably connectable to one another by coupling members. Each coupling member is essentially constructed from three partial elements, namely two frame connections (7, 49) and a connecting element (8, 46). The two frame connections are arranged in each case in the region of the outside of the vertical frame limbs (6) of two wall elements which are to be connected. The frame connections (7, 49) and the connecting element (8, 46) can engage behind one another in a clamping fashion. In this manner, individual wall elements can be removed from an already assembled partition by the controlled removal of individual connecting elements.

Description

The invention relates to a partition according to the preamble of claim 1 and a method for the construction of a partition according to claim 17, in particular for trade fair and exhibition stands, which is composed of several intrinsically rigid wall elements. The wall elements are composed of a frame, which essentially produces the mechanical strength, and two panel panels covering the frame from the outside. The individual wall elements are releasably connected to each other by coupling members, so that the most diverse Trennwandungsgeometrien can be constructed from individual wall elements.

Partitioning systems of the type mentioned with self-supporting wall elements are known. EP 0 455 656 B1 describes a partition wall system whose individual wall elements each have latching recesses on one vertical side and coupling pins on the opposite vertical side of a wall element to be connected. If a partition from these wall elements are to be constructed, then the individual wall elements must each be hung with their coupling pins in the locking recesses of the following wall element. As a result, the individual wall elements create a tight partition wall. A disadvantage of this partition wall system that after the construction of the partition alone the last last suspended in the Trennwandungsverband wall element can be posted. Wall elements that are installed between two other wall elements, can only be removed with a very large installation effort. If the Trennwandungsgeometrie be changed or expanded after the construction of part of the partition, so must be dismantled as a result, all wall elements and the partition wall to be rebuilt.

From US 4 295 307 a modular wall and floor structure is known in which the vertical edges of the wall panels have hook-like frame terminals which are engageable with slots in connecting blocks to connect the wall panels in this manner to an exhibition wall arrangement. However, a disadvantage of this wall arrangement is in particular that the connecting blocks are difficult to assemble and tend to jam. This is due to the fact that the hook-like frame terminals are designed as flat sheet metal parts, which require a long contact surface with the connecting blocks and thus a long insertion path of the connection cubes due to the small sheet thickness. In addition, the less stable, designed as a flat sheet metal frame connectors tend in handling the wall panels to bending, which can further complicate the handling and construction of this wall assembly. Furthermore, the connection cubes can very easily be pushed up unintentionally and then fall out of the wall arrangement, which impairs the stability of the wall arrangement.

The invention has for its object to provide a partition of the type mentioned, in which the connection between the wall elements on the one hand particularly easy to produce, on the other hand, however, is particularly robust. In addition, an unintentional release of the connection between the wall elements should be excluded and individual wall elements can be dismantled from an already constructed Trennwandungsverbund in a simple manner.

This object is achieved by a partition with the features of claim 1.

It is a further object of the present invention to provide a partition wall construction method which facilitates the construction of the partition wall, particularly when being constructed by only one person.

This object is solved by the subject matter of claim 17.

Advantageous embodiments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.

The individual wall elements of the partition are connected to each other by means of three-piece coupling members. Each coupling member consists of two frame terminals, which are fixed, in particular in one piece, connected to the vertical frame legs of the wall elements on the outside, and in each case a connecting piece. The frame connections and the connecting piece have form-complementary functional surfaces which enable a clamp-like engagement of the functional surfaces on the frame connections by the functional surfaces on the connecting piece. If two wall elements are to be connected to one another, they are placed laterally offset side by side on the floor and the vertical side surfaces of the frame are aligned until two frame connections to be connected are directly opposite one another. In this position can at two opposite frame connections a connector to be assembled. With which number of coupling members each two wall elements are connected to each other, is indifferent. In order to ensure the required stiffness of the partition wall, however, two wall elements should be connected to each other with at least two coupling members. If a single Trennwandungselement be removed from the Trennwandungsverband, only the connectors of the respective coupling members must be solved and the wall element is then lifted out of the composite.

The assembly of the partition wall elements can be carried out particularly easily if the frame connections are placed on the vertical outer edges of the wall elements. From this arrangement results in a horizontal distance between the individual wall elements, so that the frame connections are easily accessible during assembly. The horizontal space between the wall elements allows easy assembly and disassembly of the connectors. In addition, the patch arrangement of the frame terminals allows the production of the frame of four simple profile sections, which are connected to each other at the corners and on the outside of the frame terminals are arranged.

There are basically all types of frame structures possible. It is particularly favorable, however, to produce the frame legs of hollow profile elements and to provide in each case a frame connection in the region of the corners. It is possible to connect the individual hollow sections with inserted corner pieces, wherein at the corner pieces in each case a frame connection is arranged. Thus, by simply varying the length of the hollow profile elements when using always the same corner pieces wall elements of any size can be produced.

The required form complementary functional surfaces on the frame connections and the connecting piece are particularly simple produced by the fact that the frame connection is configured as a bolt-like form element with gripping surfaces engage behind and the connecting piece as a hollow cube open on one side. The lateral walls of the connecting piece are then engaged behind by the connecting bolts, and the cube wall is clamped between the lateral outer wall of the vertical frame leg and the clamping surface of the connecting bolt.

In order to obtain the largest possible contact surface between the bolt and the hollow cube, the hollow cube may contain recesses in the side surfaces which are open to the open side of the hollow cube and which can be reached through from the attachment of the frame connection. The clamping surface of the bolt comes in the edge region of the grooves on the inside of the hollow cube to the plant When the hollow cube is attached to the connecting pin, it can be pushed so far until the end of the recess comes to rest on the pin boss.

In order to prevent tilting of a connecting piece designed as a hollow cube, the cube is provided on a side surface with a tongue which can engage in a groove in the vertical frame legs. The hollow cube can then be slipped from the side onto the connecting pins and then pivoted about the axis of symmetry of the connecting pins to the end position, engaging the tongue in the groove.

It is possible according to the invention not only two, but also three, four, five, six or more wall elements to connect at one point using rigid connectors together. For this purpose, connecting pieces must be used which have a corresponding number of functional surfaces for connecting the respective wall elements. For example, four wall elements can be connected to a unilaterally open connection cube, wherein all four side surfaces are formed for connection to the frame terminals. Such connectors are particularly advantageous because As a result, wall structures that have already been constructed can be expanded in a simple manner by attaching further wall elements.

Due to the horizontal distance of the individual wall elements, it is not only possible to connect several wall elements in one point, but by appropriate design of the geometry of the connector, two or more interconnected wall elements and a connection angle of 45 °, 90 °, 135 °, 180 ° or another preselected number of degrees with each other. In this case, connecting pieces are conceivable, the functional surfaces can be adjusted in their relative position to each other, so that an arbitrary connection angle can be adjusted.

Since dividing walls should have a substantially continuous wall surface after the construction, it is advantageous according to the invention to provide covering elements which can be fixed substantially plane-parallel to the wall surface of the dividing wall in the horizontal interspaces between the individual wall elements. After the construction of the wall elements, the cover elements are mounted in the interstices, thereby achieving a continuous wall surface.

Basically, there are many ways to connect the cover with the partition. For example, the cover can be screwed or clipped to the partition. The assembly and disassembly of the cover is particularly simple and quickly possible when the cover are releasably connected by magnetic connecting members with the partition. If a higher strength of the connection between the cover elements and the partition wall is necessary, the cover elements should have positively acting connection elements which can be inserted on the partition wall.

According to the invention, it is preferable to functional elements on the cover elements provide that allow attachment example of shelf supports, tables or the like on the outside of the partition, whereby the interior of, for example, a booth can be configured in a simple manner.

In addition to the possibility of setting up the frame connections, as described above, on the vertical outer edges of the wall elements, it is equally possible according to the invention to integrate the frame connections in the vertical outer edges of the wall elements. As a result, the frame connections are then not laterally from the wall elements. In a manner known per se, it is thus possible to construct dividing walls which have a continuous wall surface without gaps. The subsequent installation of cover in the interstices can thus be omitted.

In such Trennwandungssystemen the frame terminals of the coupling member may preferably be prepared in that the frame is constructed essentially of hollow profile elements and the open profile cross-sections are used at the end of the vertical frame legs as frame connections. The lateral walls of the vertical frame legs can be engaged behind the connection of two wall elements of a clamp-like connector. The connector must be pushed from the top or bottom of the vertical frame legs.

However, if only a clip-type connector attached to the ends of two opposing vertical frame legs, so a lateral offset of the individual wall elements can not be excluded, resulting in an edge in the surface of the partition would follow. In order to eliminate such a lateral offset between the partitions, it is advantageous to carry out the frame connections as recesses in the outer wall of the vertical frame legs, which are open towards the end of the vertical frame leg.

The connector is then no longer clamp-like, but perform as a prismatic, rod-like body, wherein channel-like clamping grooves are arranged in the side surfaces. To connect two wall elements, the recesses in the opposite vertical leg profiles are aligned congruent surface and then pressed the connector from above at the same time in both recesses. The clamping grooves in the connector thereby encompass the wall of the two opposite vertical leg profiles and thus connect the two wall elements.

For connecting two wall elements, it is sufficient if the connecting bolt has two clamping grooves. However, the assembly of the connecting bolt is substantially simplified if four mirror-symmetrically arranged clamping grooves are provided in the connecting bolt four, with respect to the vertical body axis. When mounting the connecting bolts, these can then be installed in two functionally equivalent body orientations. These two installation positions can easily be found by tactile stimuli without direct visual contact with the connectors.

In order to facilitate the sliding of the connecting pin on the vertical leg profiles, the clamping grooves of the connecting pins should have on the front side centering. In order to prevent jamming of the connecting bolts, the end of the clamping groove should be pierced. An undercut of the clamping groove can be produced in a particularly simple manner by arranging a second groove in the connecting bolt. This second groove intersects the clamping groove in its end at an angle of about 90 °. In one side surface of the undercut groove, the cross-sectional area of the vertical frame leg profile can then be brought to bear in a defined manner, whereby jamming of the connecting pin on the vertical leg profiles is prevented.

In general, there is the possibility of connecting pieces additional connecting members, such as threads to provide that allow the attachment of functional modules, in particular lamp heaters, on the partition wall.

In order to facilitate the disassembly of the connectors, disassembly tools should be provided which can be brought into engagement with functional surfaces in the connectors.

Since the coupling members are made in three parts and the connector is attached only to the two frame terminals, there is a risk that the connector will accidentally dissolve and the wall elements are thus separated from each other. It should therefore be provided securing elements on the partition, which secure the position of the connectors in the installed state. These securing elements can act, for example, positively or non-positively on the connecting pieces and thus secure their position on the frame connections.

Particularly simple, the securing element can be designed as a bolt, which can pass through congruent recesses in the connecting pieces and the frame connections.

Likewise, the securing element can be designed as a spring-mounted latch. If the connecting piece is pushed, then the locking element snaps in after reaching the end position without the intervention of the installer. To release the connector, the latch must be pushed back against the spring force and then the connector pushed back.

When completing a stand, power and data cables often have to be laid, and booth stands with a roof construction or two-storey stands require the attachment of wall attachment elements, suspension ropes and roof consoles. In order to enable the laying of cables and the attachment of such additional components, it is advantageous to design the frame legs, in particular the upper horizontal frame legs, with a substantially U-shaped, open to the outside cross-sectional area. In this channel cables can be laid and attachments attached.

In the space between the covering panels, a light but stiffening honeycomb filling can be arranged in a manner known per se. By this honeycomb filling, the strength and torsional rigidity of the wall elements is increased without the total weight of the wall elements increases significantly. Also, in the space between the covering panels in a likewise known manner, a further plate of mechanically resilient material for anchoring of holding elements, such as screws or nails, may be arranged. In particular, this plate can be inexpensively manufactured from chipboard material.

The construction of partitions, in particular for exhibition stands, must normally be possible within very short construction times. Therefore, the dividing walls should be composed of as few individual components as possible. Therefore, a method is proposed for the construction of partitions in which at least one connecting piece is first preassembled on the frame connections on the individual wall elements, each on a vertical side. This pre-assembly can be carried out in advance of the construction of the exhibition stand in the premises of the assembly company or the manufacturer. When constructing the dividing wall, a wall element with the preassembled connecting pieces is then hooked into the frame connections of another wall element on the vertical side without preassembled connecting pieces in a second assembly step. Finally, the remaining connectors are used and completed the partition. The result is through the pre-assembly the connectors avoided or reduced the necessary assembly of the connectors immediately in the construction of the partition. If a single wall element to be dismantled, so according to the invention, the respective connectors can be removed and the relevant wall element can be removed.

• Fig. 1 und Fig. 2 zeigen das Wirkprinzip eines dreiteiligen Kupplungsorgans zur Verbindung von Wandungselementen mit auf die Wandungselemente aufgesetzten Rahmenanschlüssen. Dabei sind zu erkennen: Die gebrochen dargestellten Wandungselemente 1 und 2, die jeweils aus den Paneelen 3a und 3b sowie dem Rahmen 4 aufgebaut sind. Der Rahmen setzt sich aus den Horizontalrahmenschenkeln 5 und den Vertikalrahmenschenkeln 6 zusammen. Die hakenartig ausgebildeten Rahmenanschlüsse 7 sind auf die vertikalen Außenränder der Wandungselemente aufgesetzt und fixiert. Das Verbindungsstück 8 weist zwei U-förmige Hinterschneidungen 9 auf und kann in einer Fügebewegung entlang des Bewegungspfeils 10 auf die Rahmenanschlüsse aufgeschoben oder bei der Demontage abgezogen werden. Nach der Montage von zwei Wandungselementen entsteht ein Trennwandungsabschnitt mit einem horizontalen Zwischenraum 11.
• Fig. 3 und Fig. 4 zeigen das Wirkprinzip eines Trennwandungssystems, bei dem die Rahmenanschlüsse in die vertikalen Außenränder der Wandungselemente integriert angeordnet sind. Man erkennt wiederum die Paneelen 3a und 3b, den Horizontalrahmenschenkel 5, den Vertikalrahmenschenkel 6 sowie das aus den Rahmenanschlüssen 7 und dem Verbindungsstück 8 zusammengesetzte Kupplungsorgan. Die Ecken der Außenkontur jedes Wandungelements sind dabei rechtwinkelig ausgebrochen, so daß die Rahmenanschlüsse innerhalb der Umrißkontur angeordnet werden können. Im Ergebnis folgt daraus, daß zwei miteinander verbundene Wandungselemente im Bereich der Vertikalrahmenschenkel aneinander zur Anlage kommen, wodurch eine durchgehende Oberfläche des Trennwandungssystems entsteht. Dieses Zurücktreten der Rahmenanschlüsse kann beispielsweise, wie hier dargestellt, durch zwei zusätzliche Rahmenabschnitte 12 und 13 erreicht werden.
• Fig. 5 und Fig. 6 zeigen das Wirkprinzip einer Trennwandung, bei der die Rahmenanschlüsse des Kupplungsorgans als integrale Bestandteile der Vertikalrahmenschenkel ausgestaltet sind. Als Vertikalrahmenschenkel kommen dabei Hohlprofile zum Einsatz, deren offener Profilquerschnitt als Rahmenanschluß genutzt werden. Dies wird dadurch erreicht, daß das Verbindungsstück klammerartig in zwei zu verbindende Vertikalrahmenschenkel 6 an deren Ende in die offenen Profilquerschnitte eingeschoben wird. Die Rahmenanschlüsse als separate Bauteilkomponenten entfallen damit. Somit wird bei minimalen Herstellungskosten der Aufbau von Trennwandsystemen mit durchgehender Oberfläche ermöglicht.
• Fig. 7 und Fig. 8 zeigen die Rahmenkonstruktion einer ersten Ausführungsform eines Trennwandungssystems. Man erkennt die Horizontalrahmenschenkel 5 und einen Horizontalrahmenschenkel 6. Die verschiedenen Rahmenabschnitte werden durch die Eckstücke 14 miteinander verbunden. Die Eckstücke 14 weisen Flanschfortsätze 15 auf, die in formkomplementäre Bereiche der Profilquerschnitte eingeschoben werden können. Der hakenförmige Rahmenanschluß 7 ist einstückig an das Eckstück 14 angeformt. Solche multifunktionalen Eckstücke können kostengünstig in allen Arten von Druckguß- oder Spritzgußverfahren hergestellt werden. Die Rahmenschenkel weisen weitere Profilabschnitte auf, die einerseits die Festigkeit der Rahmenschenkel erhöhen und andererseits weitere Funktionen, wie beispielsweise das Einlegen von Kabeln oder das Befestigen von Anbauteilen, erfüllen können.
• Fig. 9 zeigt das in Fig. 7 und Fig. 8 dargestellte Eckstück 14 mit dem angeformten Rahmenanschluß 7 im Detail und stellt zusätzlich das zugehörige Verbindungsstück 8 dar. Das Verbindungsstück ist als einseitig offener Hohlwürfel ausgestaltet und kann von dem hakenartigen Rahmenanschluß 7 an allen vier Seitenwänden hintergriffen werden. Das Verbindungsstück enthält dabei in allen vier Seitenwänden Ausnehmungen 16, die vom Ansatz 17 des Rahmenanschlusses 7 durchgreifbar sind. Somit wird die seitliche Wandung des Verbindungsstücks durch den hakenartigen Rahmenanschluß an dem Eckstück beklemmt, wobei ein Abkippen des Verbindungsstücks wegen der Anlage des Ansatzes 17 an den Seitenflächen der Ausnehmung 16 unmöglich gemacht wird. Der Rahmenanschluß 7 und das Verbindungsstück 8 enthalten formkongruente Bohrungen 18, 19 und 20, in die ein Sicherungsbolzen 21 eingeschoben werden kann. Ist der Sicherungsbolzen montiert, kann dadurch ein ungewolltes Lösen des Verbindungsstücks ausgeschlossen werden.
• In Fig. 10 ist der Abstandsbolzen 22 erkennbar, dessen obere Stirnfläche an der Nase des Rahmenanschlusses 7 zur Anlage kommt. Durch den Abstandsbolzen wird ein übermäßiges Aufschieben des Verbindungsstücks auf den Rahmenanschluß verhindert. Die Ausnehmungen 16 weisen Zentrierflächen 17 auf, die das Aufschieben des Verbindungsstückes auf den Rahmenanschluß 7 erleichtern.
• Fig. 13 zeigt eine weitere Ausführungsform eines Verbindungsstücks 8 mit vier Funktionsflächen zur Verbindung von maximal vier Wandelementen. Mit derartigen Verbindungsstücken können Eckverbindungen oder Säulenstrukturen realisiert werden. Die Rahmenanschlüsse 7 weisen einen tellerartigen Hinterschnitt 23a auf, der in formkomplementäre Hinterschneidungskonturen 23b im Verbindungsstück eingehängt werden kann.
• Fig. 14 zeigt ein Verbindungsstück, bei dem die Funktionsflächen so gegeneinander geneigt sind, daß die Wandelemente einen Anschlußwinkel von 135° miteinander einschließen. Es ist genauso möglich, jeden anderen Anschlußwinkel zu realisieren. Die Funktionsflächen der Verbindungselemente müssen jeweils dementsprechend gegeneinander geneigt sein. Zur Abdeckung des Zwischenraums zwischen den Wandelementen sind die Abdeckelemente 24 und 25 zwischen den Wandungselementen befestigt.
• Fig. 15 und Fig. 16 zeigen weitere Ausführungsformen von Abdeckungselementen. Die Abdeckelemente 26 und 27 werden mit den Clipsnasen 28 in dafür vorgesehene Ausnehmungen in den Verbindungsstücken eingeclipst.
• In Fig. 17 und 18 ist eine weitere Ausführungsform 29 eines Abdeckelements dargestellt. An diesem Abdeckelement können weitere Funktionselemente, wie beispielsweise der in Fig. 18 dargestellte Regalbodenträger 30, befestigt werden. Um eine ausreichende Festigkeit zu erreichen, sind derartige Abdeckleisten vorzugsweise aus Blechstreifen herzustellen. Diese Abdeckleisten können dann beispielsweise mit dafür vorgesehenen Rastnasen 31 in die Trägerwandung eingehängt werden. Zur Fixierung der zusätzlichen Funktionselemente kann die Abdeckleiste in an sich bekannter Art Ausnehmungen 32 in verschiedenen Höhen enthalten.
• In Fig. 19 ist eine weitere Möglichkeit zur Sicherung des Verbindungsstücks an den Rahmenanschlüssen dargestellt. Der auf der Feder 33 gelagerte Riegel 34 durchgreift dabei einen hohlen Bereich 35 in dem Verbindungsstück und rastet in der Rastkontur 36 ein. Das Verbindungsstück kann dann nur noch gelöst werden, wenn der Riegel 34 von Hand nach hinten gedrückt und das Verbindungsstück nach unten abgezogen wird.
• In Fig. 20 bis Fig. 29 ist eine zweite Ausführungsform eines Trennwandungssystems dargestellt, dessen Rahmenanschlüsse in die Profilquerschnitte der Vertikalrahmenschenkel integriert sind. Das als Verbindungsbolzen 37 ausgestaltete Verbindungsstück wird in eine Ausnehmung im offenen Profil des Vertikalrahmenschenkels 6 eingeschoben. In Fig. 21 erkennt man die Klemmnut 38, die zwei Rahmenprofile miteinander verbindet, die Freistichnut 39, die ein Verklemmen des Verbindungsbolzen verhindert und die Zentrierflächen 40, die das Fügen des Verbindungsbolzens erleichtert.
• Wie in Fig. 22 dargestellt, kann der Verbindungsbolzen weitere Funktionselemente, wie beispielsweise hier ein Gewinde 41, enthalten.
• Fig. 23 zeigt das offene Profil am Ende des Vertikalrahmenschenkels 6, das die Ausnehmung 42 zur Aufnahme des Verbindungsbolzens 37 enthält.
• Fig. 27 zeigt die Möglichkeit zur Sicherung der Lage eines Verbindungsbolzens 37. Der Riegel 43 ist auf der Feder 44 gelagert und schnappt in der Endposition des Verbindungsbolzens 37 in eine formkomplementäre Vertiefung oder Ausnehmung im Verbindungsbolzen ein. Soll der Verbindungsbolzen gelöst werden, muß der Riegel von Hand zurückgeschoben und der Verbindungsbolzen nach oben abgezogen werden.
• Fig. 28 und Fig. 29 zeigen ein komplettes Wandungselement mit gebrochen dargestellten Abdeckpaneelen und vier in die Rahmenschenkel integrierten Rahmenanschlüssen. Zwischen den Abdeckpaneelen und dem Rahmen ist die Wabenstruktur 45 angeordnet. Diese Wabenstruktur erhöht die Steifigkeit des Wandungselements ohne wesentliche Erhöhung des Gewichts.
• In Fig. 30 ist ein Vertikalrahmenschenkel 6 und das als Hohlwürfel 46 ausgestaltete Verbindungsstück einer Ausführungsform einer erfindungsgemäßen Trennwandung dargestellt. In die Nut 47 kann das Verbindungsstück mit der Sicherungszunge 48 zum Eingriff gebracht werden. Die dazu notwendige Fügebewegung ist sequentiell in Fig. 31 dargestellt. Der Hohlwürfel wird seitlich auf einander gegenüberliegende, als Haltebolzen 49 ausgestaltete Rahmenanschlüsse zweier zu verbindender Wandungselemente aufgesteckt und dann um den Haltebolzen drehend in die Vertikale geschwenkt. Dabei gleitet die Sicherungszunge 48 in die Nut 47. Die hier dargestellte Nut hat waagrecht durchlaufende Seitenflächen und ist deshalb einfach zu fertigen. Ein besserer Sitz der Sicherungszunge kann erreicht werden, wenn die Nut formkomplementär zur Fügebewegung der Sicherungszunge als Kreisabschnitt in den Vertikalrahmenschenkel eingearbeitet wird. Der U-förmig offene Profilbereich 50, der im oberen Rand der Wandungselemente verläuft, kann zur Verlegung von Kabeln oder zur Befestigung weiterer Bauteile dienen.
• Fig. 32 zeigt den Vertikalrahmenschenkel 6, das Verbindungsstück 46, den Rahmenanschluß 49 und das Sicherungselement 51 der Ausführungsform einer erfindungsgemäßen Trennwandung in perspektivischer Ansicht. Der Vertikalrahmenschenkel ist dabei entlang der Linie I-I geschnitten dargestellt. Die Gehrung des Vertikalrahmenschenkels zur Verbindung mit dem Horizontalrahmenschenkel ist insofern nicht dargestellt. Der Haltebolzen 49 wird in das Gewinde 58 eingeschraubt. Der Hohlwürfel 46 anschließend mit den Ausnehmungen 52 auf den Haltebolzen 49 aufgeschoben, wobei der Haltebolzen die Ausnehmung durchgreift und der Kopf 53 des Haltebolzens die Wandung des Hohlwürfels hintergreift. Danach wird der Hohlwürfel 46 in die Vertikale geschwenkt, wobei die Zunge 48 in die hier kreisabschnittsförmige Nut 47 eingreift. Um ein ungewolltes Lösen des Hohlwürfels 46 zu verhindern ist das Sicherungselement 51 vorgesehen. Es wird von oben in das offene Profil des Vertikalrahmenschenkels eingeführt und kann mit den ausgestellten Bügelenden 54 den Vertikalrahmenschenkel 6 in den senkrecht verlaufenden Nuten 55 durchgreifen. Diese Nuten erstrecken sich jeweils am Ende der Nut 47 ein Stück nach oben und nach unten. Der Sicherheitsbügel kann somit im montierten Zustand zwei Positionen einnehmen. Wird er nach oben geschoben, so kann die Sicherungszunge 48 in die Nut 47 eingeführt werden und auch aus der Nut herausgleiten. Diese Position des Sicherungsbügel erlaubt also die Montage und Demontage der Verbindungsstücke. Sind zwei Wandungselemente durch Befestigung der Hohlwürfel miteinander verbunden, so gleitet der Sicherungsbügel unter Einfluß der Schwerkraft oder durch Eingriff eines Monteurs in die untere Position. Damit ist ein Herausgleiten der Sicherungszunge 48 aus der Nut 47 ausgeschlossen, da die Bügel die offenen Nutenden versperren.
• Fig. 33 zeigt das Hohlprofil des Horizontalrahmenschenkels 5 der Ausführungsform einer erfindungsgemäßen Trennwandung im Querschnitt. An den äußeren Wandungsabschnitten 56 und 57 können die nicht dargestellten Paneelplatten mit entsprechender Innenkonstruktion zur Anlage gebracht werden. Der Querschnitt des Horizontalrahmenschenkels entspricht dem Querschnitt des Vertikalrahmenschenkels so weit, daß der Vertikalrahmenschenkel durch einfache Entfernung eines Profilabschnitts in den Horizontalrahmenschenkel übergeführt werden kann. Die Profile sind dabei vorzugswürdig aus Aluminium oder einem anderen Material mit günstigen Stranggußeigenschaften herzustellen.
• Fig. 34 zeigt das Hohlprofil des Vertikalrahmenschenkels der Ausführungsform einer erfindungsgemäßen Trennwandung im Querschnitt. Man erkennt die nicht sichtbaren Vertikalnuten 55 und das nicht sichtbare Gewinde 58 zur Aufnahme des Haltebolzens 49.
• Fig. 35 zeigt den als Haltebolzen 49 ausgestalteten Rahmenanschluß der Ausführungsform einer erfindungsgemäßen Trennwandung in seitlicher Ansicht. Der Bolzenkopf 53 hintergreift die Ausnehmung im Verbindungsstück 46. Der umlaufende Auflageflansch 59 sorgt für eine definierte Lage des Haltebolzens und ermöglicht hohe Einschraubkräfte. Der Haltebolzen 49 kann durch Eingriff eines Schlüssels in der Vielkantaufnahme 60 angezogen werden.

• Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 show the operating principle of a three-part coupling member for connecting wall elements with attached to the wall elements frame connections. It can be seen: The broken wall elements 1 and 2, which are each constructed of the panels 3a and 3b and the frame 4. The frame is composed of the horizontal frame legs 5 and the vertical frame legs 6 together. The hook-like frame connections 7 are placed and fixed on the vertical outer edges of the wall elements. The connecting piece 8 has two U-shaped undercuts 9 and can in a joining movement along the Movement arrow 10 pushed onto the frame connections or deducted during disassembly. After the assembly of two wall elements, a dividing wall section with a horizontal gap 11 is formed.
• Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 show the operating principle of a partition wall system, wherein the frame terminals are arranged integrated in the vertical outer edges of the wall elements. Again, the panels 3a and 3b, the horizontal frame leg 5, the vertical frame leg 6 and the coupling member composed of the frame connections 7 and the connecting piece 8 can be seen. The corners of the outer contour of each wall element are broken at right angles, so that the frame connections can be arranged within the outline contour. As a result, it follows that two interconnected wall elements in the region of the vertical frame legs come to rest against each other, whereby a continuous surface of the partition wall system is formed. This recession of the frame terminals, for example, as shown here, by two additional frame sections 12 and 13 can be achieved.
• Fig. 5 and Fig. 6 show the operating principle of a partition, in which the frame connections of the coupling member are designed as integral parts of the vertical frame legs. Hollow sections are used as the vertical frame legs, whose open profile cross-section is used as a frame connection. This is achieved in that the connecting piece is clamp-like inserted into two vertical frame legs 6 to be connected at the end in the open profile cross-sections. The frame connections as separate component components are thus eliminated. Thus, with minimal manufacturing cost, the construction of continuous-wall partition wall systems is made possible.
• FIGS. 7 and 8 show the frame construction of a first embodiment of a partition wall system. One recognises the horizontal frame legs 5 and a horizontal frame leg 6. The various frame sections are interconnected by the corner pieces 14. The corner pieces 14 have flange extensions 15, which can be inserted into complementary sections of the profile cross sections. The hook-shaped frame connection 7 is integrally formed on the corner piece 14. Such multifunctional corner pieces can be inexpensively manufactured in all types of die casting or injection molding processes. The frame legs have further profile sections, on the one hand increase the strength of the frame legs and on the other hand, other functions, such as the insertion of cables or attaching attachments can meet.
• Fig. 9 shows the corner piece 14 shown in Fig. 7 and Fig. 8 with the molded frame connection 7 in detail and additionally represents the associated connector 8. The connector is designed as a hollow cuboid open on one side and can of the hook-like frame connection 7 at all four Sidewalls are engaged behind. The connector contains in all four side walls recesses 16 which are durchgreifbar by the projection 17 of the frame terminal 7. Thus, the lateral wall of the connector is clamped by the hook-like frame connection to the corner piece, wherein a tilting of the connector due to the abutment of the projection 17 on the side surfaces of the recess 16 is made impossible. The frame connection 7 and the connecting piece 8 contain congruent bores 18, 19 and 20 into which a securing bolt 21 can be inserted. If the safety bolt is mounted, this can prevent unintentional loosening of the connector.
• In Fig. 10 of the spacer bolt 22 can be seen, the upper end surface comes to rest on the nose of the frame connection 7. The spacer pin prevents excessive pushing of the connecting piece onto the frame connection. The recesses 16 have centering surfaces 17, which facilitate the sliding of the connecting piece to the frame connection 7.
• FIG. 13 shows a further embodiment of a connecting piece 8 with four functional surfaces for connecting a maximum of four wall elements. With such connectors corner connections or column structures can be realized. The frame connections 7 have a plate-like undercut 23a, which can be hooked into shape-complementary undercut contours 23b in the connecting piece.
• Fig. 14 shows a connector in which the functional surfaces are inclined towards each other so that the wall elements include a connection angle of 135 ° with each other. It is just as possible to realize every other connection angle. The functional surfaces of the connecting elements must each be accordingly inclined to each other. To cover the gap between the wall elements, the cover elements 24 and 25 are fastened between the wall elements.
• FIGS. 15 and 16 show further embodiments of cover elements. The cover members 26 and 27 are clipped with the clip lugs 28 provided in recesses in the connectors.
• FIGS. 17 and 18 show a further embodiment 29 of a cover element. Further functional elements, such as the shelf support 30 shown in FIG. 18 , can be fastened to this cover element. In order to achieve sufficient strength, such cover strips are preferably made of sheet metal strips. This cover strips can then be hung, for example, with designated locking lugs 31 in the support wall. To fix the additional functional elements, the cover strip in a conventional manner recesses 32 in different Heights included.
• In Fig. 19 , another way to secure the connector to the frame connections is shown. The mounted on the spring 33 latch 34 passes through a hollow portion 35 in the connector and engages in the locking contour 36 a. The connector can then only be solved when the latch 34 is pressed by hand to the rear and the connector is pulled down.
• FIGS. 20 to 29 show a second embodiment of a partition wall system whose frame connections are integrated in the profile cross sections of the vertical frame legs. The designed as a connecting pin 37 connecting piece is inserted into a recess in the open profile of the vertical frame leg 6. In Fig. 21 can be seen the clamping groove 38 which connects two frame profiles together, the undercut groove 39, which prevents jamming of the connecting bolt and the centering surfaces 40, which facilitates the joining of the connecting bolt.
• As illustrated in FIG. 22 , the connecting bolt may contain further functional elements, such as a thread 41, for example.
• Fig. 23 shows the open profile at the end of the vertical frame leg 6, which contains the recess 42 for receiving the connecting pin 37.
• Fig. 27 shows the possibility of securing the position of a connecting pin 37. The latch 43 is mounted on the spring 44 and snaps in the end position of the connecting pin 37 in a complementary shape recess or recess in the connecting bolt. If the connecting bolt to be solved, the bolt must be pushed back by hand and the connecting pin pulled up.
• FIGS. 28 and 29 show a complete wall element with cover panels shown broken and four frame connections integrated in the frame legs. Between the cover panels and the frame, the honeycomb structure 45 is arranged. This honeycomb structure increases the rigidity of the wall element without significantly increasing the weight.
• In Fig. 30 , a vertical frame leg 6 and designed as a hollow cube 46 connecting piece of an embodiment of a partition according to the invention is shown. In the groove 47, the connecting piece with the securing tongue 48 can be brought into engagement. The necessary joining movement is shown sequentially in FIG. 31 . The hollow cube is laterally mounted on opposing, designed as a retaining pin 49 frame connections of two wall elements to be connected and then pivoted about the retaining bolts rotating in the vertical. In this case, the securing tongue 48 slides in the groove 47. The groove shown here has horizontally continuous side surfaces and is therefore easy to manufacture. A better fit of the securing tongue can be achieved if the groove is incorporated in a form complementary to the joining movement of the securing tongue as a circular section in the vertical frame legs. The U-shaped open profile area 50, which runs in the upper edge of the wall elements, can be used for laying cables or for fastening other components.
• Fig. 32 shows the vertical frame leg 6, the connecting piece 46, the frame terminal 49 and the securing element 51 of the embodiment of a partition according to the invention in a perspective view. The vertical frame leg is shown cut along the line II. The miter of the vertical frame leg for connection to the horizontal frame leg is not shown. The retaining bolt 49 is screwed into the thread 58. The hollow cube 46 is then pushed with the recesses 52 on the retaining pin 49, wherein the retaining bolt, the recess passes through and the head 53 of the retaining bolt engages behind the wall of the hollow cube. Thereafter, the hollow cube 46 is pivoted in the vertical, wherein the tongue 48 engages in the here circular-segment-shaped groove 47. In order to prevent accidental release of the hollow cube 46, the securing element 51 is provided. It is inserted from above into the open profile of the vertical frame leg and can pass through the stiffening ends 54 of the vertical frame leg 6 in the vertically extending grooves 55. These grooves each extend at the end of the groove 47 a piece up and down. The safety bar can thus occupy two positions in the mounted state. If it is pushed upwards, the securing tongue 48 can be inserted into the groove 47 and also slide out of the groove. This position of the safety bar thus allows the assembly and disassembly of the connectors. If two wall elements are connected to each other by fastening the hollow cubes, then the safety latch slides under the influence of gravity or by the intervention of a mechanic in the lower position. For a sliding out of the securing tongue 48 is excluded from the groove 47, since the stirrups obstruct the open groove ends.
• Fig. 33 shows the hollow profile of the horizontal frame leg 5 of the embodiment of a partition according to the invention in cross section. At the outer wall portions 56 and 57, the panel plates, not shown, can be brought into contact with corresponding internal construction. The cross section of the horizontal frame leg corresponds to the cross section of the vertical frame leg so far that the vertical frame leg can be converted by simple removal of a profile section in the horizontal frame legs. The profiles are preferable to produce aluminum or other material with favorable continuous casting properties.
• Fig. 34 shows the hollow profile of the vertical frame leg of the embodiment of a partition according to the invention in cross section. It can be seen the not visible vertical grooves 55 and the non-visible thread 58 for receiving the retaining pin 49th
• Fig. 35 shows the configured as a retaining pin 49 frame connection of the embodiment of a partition according to the invention in a lateral view. The bolt head 53 engages behind the recess in the connecting piece 46. The circumferential support flange 59 ensures a defined position of the retaining bolt and allows high screwing. The retaining pin 49 can be tightened by engagement of a key in the polygonal socket 60.
