Description

Anordnung mit Bauteilen oder Bauteile Arrangement with components or components

Die Erfindung betrifft einerseits eine Anordnung und anderseits Bauteile gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1 Unter plattenformigen Bauteilen werden beispielsweise Paneelptatten,The invention relates, on the one hand, to an arrangement and, on the other hand, to components according to the preamble of patent claim 1. Panel-like components include, for example, panel panels,

Fußbodenplatten, Verkleidungsplatten, Verkleidungsleisten od dgl , insbesondere für die Wand-, Decken- oder Fußbodenverkleidung von Bauwerken aller Art verstanden Derartige Bauteile können ein- oder mehrschichtige Platten bzw Leisten aus Hoizwerkstoffen oder auf Holzgrundlage sein, die gegebenenfalls auf einer oder beiden Außenflachen beschichtet sind Die Beschichtung kann mit Kunststoffplatten, Furnieren aus Holz oder Kunststoff usw erfolgen Insbesondere richtet sich die Erfindung auf Bodenplatten, die aus Holzwerkstoff bestehen und relativ harte Oberflachen aus Kunststofflaminaten besitzenFloor panels, cladding panels, cladding strips or the like, in particular understood for the wall, ceiling or floor cladding of buildings of all kinds. Such components can be single-layer or multi-layer panels or strips made of heating materials or on a wooden base, which are optionally coated on one or both outer surfaces Coating can be carried out with plastic plates, veneers made of wood or plastic, etc. In particular, the invention is directed to floor plates made of wood-based materials and having relatively hard surfaces made of plastic laminates

Anordnungen mit derartigen Bauteilen bzw derartige Bauteile gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1 sind aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt Die Erfindung betrifft insbesondere die spezielle Art der Verbindung derartigerArrangements with such components or such components according to the preamble of claim 1 are known from the prior art. The invention relates in particular to the special type of connection of such

Bauelemente, um diese in verbundenem Zustand unter Zuhilfenahme von Verπegelungselementen zueinander optimal in Lage zu halten, jedoch die Bauteile bei Bedarf voneinander losen zu könnenComponents in order to hold them optimally in position in a connected state with the help of locking elements, but to be able to separate the components from one another if necessary

Neben diesem speziellen Ziel der Erfindung soll mit den erftndungsgemaßen Merkmalen erreicht werden, daß die Ausbildung der herzustellenden Verriegelungselemente möglichst einfach und wirtschaftlich, ohne Verwendung zusatzlicher Hilfsmittel, und das Aneinanderfügen bzw Verbinden der Bauteile mateπalschonend, rasch und zuverlässig vor sich gehen kannIn addition to this special aim of the invention, the features according to the invention are intended to ensure that the design of the locking elements to be produced is as simple and economical as possible, without the use of additional aids, and the joining or connecting of the components can be done quickly and reliably in a manner which is gentle on the material

Erfindungsgemaß werden diese Ziele bei Bauteilen bzw bei einer Anordnung zur Verbindung von Bauteilen gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1 durch die im Kennzeichen des Patentanspruches 1 angeführten Merkmale erreichtAccording to the invention, these objectives are achieved in components or in an arrangement for connecting components according to the preamble of claim 1 by the features stated in the characterizing part of claim 1

Mit der erfmdungsgemaßen Vorgangsweise wird erreicht, daß nur die zumeist weiche Mittelschicht der insbesondere aus Holz bestehenden Bauteile zur Ausbildung von Verπegelungselementen speziell bearbeitet werden muß und nicht die relativ harten Oberflachen aus Laminaten Dadurch erhohen sich die Werkzeugstandzeiten und die Gefahr von Ausbrüchen an den beschichteten Oberflachen sinkt Die Verwendung von zusätzlichen Hilfsmitteln und Materialien, wie z B die Bauteile miteinander verbindende Verankerungen od. dgl ist nicht erforderlich und die Fertigung der Bauteile bzw deren Verlegung wird wirtschaftlicher und einfacher Des weiteren sind die miteinander sicher und fest verbundenen, plattenformigen Bauteile rasch und leicht verbindbar und wieder losbar und für ein weiteres Zusammenfugen geeignetWith the procedure according to the invention it is achieved that only the mostly soft middle layer of the components, in particular made of wood, has to be specially processed to form locking elements and not the relatively hard surfaces made of laminates. This increases the tool life and the risk of breakouts on the coated surfaces The use of additional aids and materials, such as anchorages or the like connecting the components to one another, is not necessary and the manufacture of the components or their laying becomes more economical and simple. Furthermore, the securely and firmly connected, plate-shaped components can be connected quickly and easily and can be detached again and suitable for further assembly

Bei der Verlegung der Bauteile ändert sich an sich nicht viel gegenüber der Verlegung von bekannten Nut-Feder-Brettern, durch das Zusammenfugen der erfindungsgemäß ausgestalteten Bauteile wird eine feste und stabile, aber wieder lösbare Verbindung geschaffen, die den auftretenden Beanspruchungen durchaus gerecht wird und die Bauteile lagefest miteinander verbindet.When laying the components, not much changes compared to the laying of known tongue and groove boards, by joining the Components designed according to the invention create a firm and stable, but again releasable connection which does justice to the stresses that occur and connects the components to one another in a fixed position.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, daß die Nut aus dem Bauteil direkt herausgearbeitet, insbesondere herausgefräst ist bzw. die Feder einstückig aus dem Bauteil ausgebildet ist, wodurch die Herstellung derartiger Bauteile erleichtert wird, insbesondere bei Bauteilen, die gleich lange Schenkel aufweisen, wie dies bei der erfindungsgemäßen Anordnung der Fall ist. Die beiden Schenkel der Nut sind im wesentlichen gleich lang bis auf geringfügige Längenunterschiede, die dadurch entstehen, daß vorgesehen sein kann, daß die Bauteile in ihren oberflächennahen Bereichen eng aneinanderliegen und in ihren bodennahen Bereichen unter Ausbildung eines kleinen Spaltes im Abstand voneinander angeordnet sind. Zur Feder ist des weiteren zu bemerken, daß diese voll bzw. massiv ausgebildet ist und in einem Stück mit dem Bauteil verbunden und aus diesem ausgearbeitet ist.It is particularly advantageous that the groove is machined directly out of the component, in particular milled out, or the spring is formed in one piece from the component, which makes the manufacture of such components easier, in particular for components which have legs of the same length, as is the case with arrangement according to the invention is the case. The two legs of the groove are of substantially the same length except for slight differences in length, which result from the fact that it can be provided that the components lie close together in their regions close to the surface and are arranged at a distance from one another in their regions close to the ground, forming a small gap. Regarding the spring, it should also be noted that it is of full or solid design and is connected in one piece to the component and worked out from it.

Die Breite der Nut, die von innen nach außen zu zunimmt bzw. die Dicke der Feder, die in Richtung auf ihr freies Ende hin abnimmt, sind aufeinander abgestimmt, sodaß bei miteinander verbundenen Bauteilen die Nut- und die Federflächen satt aneinander anliegen. Damit werden die Bauteile in einer definierten gegenseitigen Lage gehalten.The width of the groove, which increases from the inside to the outside, or the thickness of the tongue, which decreases in the direction of its free end, are coordinated with one another, so that in the case of components which are connected to one another, the groove and tongue surfaces abut one another. The components are thus held in a defined mutual position.

Wesentlich zur lösbaren Verbindung trägt bei, daß die bauteilnahe Fläche des auf der Feder ausgebildeten Vorsprungs und die nutöffnungsnahe Fläche der auf der Nut ausgebildeten Vertiefung schräg bzw. geneigt in Richtung Bauteil bzw. Nutöffnung verlaufen, sodaß ein Herausziehen der Feder aus der Nut möglich ist. Das Einführen und Herausziehen wird deshalb möglich, weil zumindest einer der Schenkel der Nut elastisch gegenüber dem anderen Schenkel aufweitbar bzw. wegbewegbar ist; insbesondere sind die beiden Schenkel der Nut materialstärkemäßig derart ausgebildet, daß ein elastisches Abbiegen nach außen zu möglich ist, um so der Feder ein Eindringen in die Nut zu ermöglichen, wobei der zumindest eine auf der Feder ausgebildete Vorsprung die Innenkanten an der Nutöffnung überwinden kann, eben, indem dieser an den Innenkanten abgleitet und dabei die Schenkel der Nut auseinanderdrückt.An essential part of the detachable connection is that the component-near surface of the projection formed on the tongue and the surface near the groove opening of the recess formed on the groove run obliquely or inclined towards the component or groove opening, so that the tongue can be pulled out of the groove. The insertion and removal is possible because at least one of the legs of the groove can be elastically expanded or moved away from the other leg; in particular, the two limbs of the groove are designed in terms of material thickness in such a way that elastic bending outwards is possible in order to allow the tongue to penetrate into the groove, the at least one projection formed on the tongue being able to overcome the inner edges at the groove opening, just by sliding on the inner edges and pushing apart the legs of the groove.

Die zur lagefesten Verbindung der Bauteile vorgesehenen Verriegelungselemente, die von aneinander angepaßten Vorsprüngen und Vertiefungen gebildet sind, werden an der Nut und an der Feder vorgesehen. Diese Verriegelungseiemente können abschnittsweise auf der Nut und der Feder vorgesehen werden; besseren Halt und eine vereinfachte Herstellung wird jedoch erreicht, wenn sich diese Verriegelungselemente über die gesamte Länge der vorgesehenen Nuten und Federn erstrecken. Eine Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemäßen Anordnung ist besonders vorteilhaft, bei der auf beiden Seiten der Feder entsprechende Vorsprünge und auf beiden Nutflächen entsprechende Vertiefungen ausgebildet sind, da damit eine doppelte Rastwirkung erzielt werden kann und somit ein fester Zusammenhalt der Bauteile erreicht wird. Die Breite der Bauteile kann beliebig gewählt werden. Es können Bauteile jeweils gleicher Breite oder Bauteile unterschiedlicher Breite miteinander verbunden werden, um z.B. eine bestimmte Fußbodengestaltung zu erreichen.The locking elements provided for the fixed connection of the components, which are formed by mutually adapted projections and depressions, are provided on the groove and on the tongue. These locking elements can be provided in sections on the tongue and groove; However, better hold and simplified production is achieved if these locking elements extend over the entire length of the grooves and tongues provided. An embodiment of the arrangement according to the invention is particularly advantageous in which corresponding protrusions are formed on both sides of the tongue and corresponding depressions are formed on both groove surfaces, since this enables a double locking effect to be achieved and thus a firm cohesion of the components is achieved. The width of the components can be chosen arbitrarily. Components of the same width or components of different widths can be connected to one another, for example in order to achieve a specific floor design.

Vorteilhaft für das Ineinanderschieben bzw. das Lösen der Bauteile ist es, wenn gemäß den Merkmalen der Ansprüche 2 und 3 vorgegangen wird.It is advantageous for the components to be pushed into one another or detached if the procedure according to the features of claims 2 and 3 is followed.

Eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist im Anspruch 4 gekennzeichnet. Diese Querschnittsform einer Feder mit zumindest einem darauf befindlichen Vorsprung und zumindest einer entsprechend angepaßten Vertiefung in der Nut ermöglicht ein gutes Abgleiten der Flächen der Feder bzw. des von der Feder getragenen Vorsprunges auf den Nutflächen bzw. den direkt an die Nutöffnung anschließenden Nutflächen beim Einführen der Feder in die Nut.A preferred embodiment of the invention is characterized in claim 4. This cross-sectional shape of a tongue with at least one projection thereon and at least one correspondingly adapted recess in the groove allows the surfaces of the tongue or the projection carried by the tongue to slide smoothly on the groove surfaces or the groove surfaces directly adjoining the groove opening when the groove is inserted Tongue into the groove.

Die Merkmale des Anspruches 5 ergeben eine feste Verrastung der beiden zu verbindenden Bauteile.The features of claim 5 result in a firm locking of the two components to be connected.

Besonders vorteilhaft für das Einführen der Feder des einen Bauteiles in die Nut des anderen Bauteiles und für das Lösen ist es, wenn gemäß dem Merkmal des Anspruches 6 vorgegangen wird. Bei dieser Vorgangsweise wird zwar einem Lösen bzw. Herausführen der Feder aus der Nut ein erhöhter Widerstand entgegengesetzt, verglichen mit dem Widerstand, der einem Einführen der Feder in die Nut entgegengesetzt wird; es wird jedoch der Feder in der Nut ein fester Halt geboten, obwohl ein Lösen dieser Rastverbindung gut möglich ist.It is particularly advantageous for the insertion of the tongue of the one component into the groove of the other component and for the release if the procedure according to the feature of claim 6 is followed. In this procedure, an increased resistance is opposed to loosening or guiding the tongue out of the groove, compared to the resistance opposed to inserting the tongue into the groove; however, the tongue is firmly held in the groove, although it is possible to loosen this locking connection.

Die Ausbildung einer elastisch nachgiebigen Feder bzw. von Federabschnitten ist nicht erforderlich, da die Nutschenkel ausreichende Elastizität aufweisen, um sich beim Einführen der Feder entsprechend aufweiten zu können.The formation of an elastically resilient spring or of spring sections is not necessary since the groove legs have sufficient elasticity to be able to expand accordingly when the spring is inserted.

Es ist vorteilhaft, wenn die Merkmale des Anspruches 8 vorgesehen sind, da damit eine definierte Ausbildung von Feder und Nut gegeben ist, deren Hersteilung einfach ist und ein gutes Aneinanderiiegen von Feder und Nut ermöglicht.It is advantageous if the features of claim 8 are provided, since this provides a defined configuration of tongue and groove, the manufacture of which is simple and enables the tongue and groove to come together well.

Die Merkmale des Anspruches 9 erleichtern das Einführen der Feder in die Nut.The features of claim 9 facilitate the insertion of the tongue into the groove.

Die Merkmale des Anspruches 10 definieren exakt die Lage der Feder in der Nut, da der Vorsprung genau in der Vertiefung zu liegen kommt und somit der Vorsprung und die Vertiefung bzw. die Federflächen und die Nutflächen exakt und satt und flächig aneinander anliegen.The features of claim 10 exactly define the position of the tongue in the groove, since the projection comes to lie exactly in the recess and thus the projection and the recess or the spring surfaces and the groove surfaces abut each other exactly and fully and flatly.

Eine Ausbildung des Querschnittes des dreieckförmigen Vorsprunges bzw. des von der Vertiefung in der Nut aufgenommenen Vorsprunges der Feder gemäß Anspruch 11 erleichtert das Einschieben der Feder in die Nut bzw. bietet der Feder festen Halt in der Nut und ermöglicht trotzdem ein materialschonendes Herausziehen der Feder aus der Nut.A design of the cross-section of the triangular projection or of the projection of the spring received by the recess in the groove facilitates the insertion of the spring into the groove or provides the spring with firm hold in the groove and nevertheless enables the tongue to be pulled out gently the groove.

Die Merkmale des Anspruches 13 sind für das Einführen der Feder in die Nut vorteilhaft, um Verkantungen zu vermeiden. Des weiteren tragen die Merkmale dieses Anspruches dazu bei, daß die Oberflächen der zu verbindenden Bauteile durch das Einrasten der Vorsprünge der Feder in die Vertiefungen der Nut an den Stirnseiten eng aneinander anliegen bzw. einander angenähert werden und die Ausbildung von Spalten vermieden wird.The features of claim 13 are advantageous for the insertion of the tongue into the groove in order to avoid canting. Furthermore, the features of this claim contribute to the fact that the surfaces of the components to be connected by Locking the projections of the tongue into the recesses of the groove on the end faces lie close to one another or are brought closer to one another and the formation of gaps is avoided.

Es zeigte sich in der Praxis, daß die Merkmale des Anspruches 14 vorteilhaft sind, da die Herstellung der Nut und Feder vereinfacht wird bzw. die Kräfteübertragung materialschonend erfolgt.It has been shown in practice that the features of claim 14 are advantageous since the manufacture of the tongue and groove is simplified and the transmission of forces takes place in a manner that is gentle on the material.

Verlegetechnisch einfach und gleichzeitig vom optischen Standpunkt her ansehnlich ist es, wenn gemäß den Merkmalen des Patentanspruches 15 oder 16 vorgegangen wird. Auf diese Weise werden relativ breite, plattenförmige Bauteile, die nicht unbedingt langgestreckt, sondern z.B. auch rechteckförmig oder quadratisch sein können, mit Hilfe von relativ schmalen, leistenförmigen Bauteilen zusammengehalten, womit sich neben einem gefälligen Muster auch eine einfache Verlegetechnik ergibt.It is simple in terms of installation technology and, at the same time, it is attractive from an optical point of view if the procedure is as described in claim 15 or 16. In this way, relatively wide, plate-shaped components that are not necessarily elongated, but e.g. can also be rectangular or square, held together with the aid of relatively narrow, strip-shaped components, which, in addition to a pleasing pattern, also results in a simple laying technique.

Weitere vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der folgenden Beschreibung, den Zeichnungen und den Patentansprüchen. Im folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand der Zeichnung näher erläutert.Further advantageous embodiments of the invention result from the following description, the drawings and the patent claims. The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing.

Fig. 1 und 2 zeigen schematisch im Schnitt die Verbindung von Bauteilen gemäß einer ersten Ausführungsform der Erfindung und Fig. 3 zeigt schematisch miteinander verbundene Bauteile.1 and 2 show schematically in section the connection of components according to a first embodiment of the invention and FIG. 3 shows schematically interconnected components.

Fig. 1 zeigt zwei miteinander zu verbindende Bauteile 1 ,2, wobei in dem einen Bauteil 1 eine Nut 5 ausgebildet ist, in die eine vom anderen Bauteil 2 abgehende Feder 6 einführbar ist. Die Bauteile 1 ,2 liegen mit ihren Stirnflächen im nutzflächennahen Bereich aneinander an und bilden im bodenseitigen Bereich einen Spalt 16 aus.1 shows two components 1, 2 to be connected to one another, a groove 5 being formed in one component 1, into which a spring 6 extending from the other component 2 can be inserted. The components 1, 2 rest against one another with their end faces in the area close to the usable area and form a gap 16 in the bottom area.

Die insbesondere aus Holz oder Kunststoff bestehenden Bauteile 1,2 können mit Beschichtungen 23,24 versehen sein, um entsprechende Oberflächenwerte bzw. ein entsprechendes Aussehen zu erhalten.The components 1, 2, which consist in particular of wood or plastic, can be provided with coatings 23, 24 in order to obtain corresponding surface values or a corresponding appearance.

Auf der Feder 6 bzw. den Federflächen 10 und in der Nut 5 bzw. in den Nutflächen bzw. Seitenflächen 9 der Nut 5 sind aneinander angepaßte Verriegelungselemente 7,8 vorgesehen. Diese Verriegeiungselemente werden von Vorsprüngen 7 und Vertiefungen 8 gebildet, die miteinander zusammenwirken bzw. verrastbar sind. Die Querschnittsformen der Vertiefungen 8 und zugehörigen Vorsprünge 7 entsprechen einander, sodaß die Verriegelungselemente satt ineinander eingreifen.Locking elements 7, 8, which are matched to one another, are provided on the spring 6 or the spring surfaces 10 and in the groove 5 or in the groove surfaces or side surfaces 9 of the groove 5. These locking elements are formed by projections 7 and depressions 8, which interact with one another or can be locked. The cross-sectional shapes of the depressions 8 and associated projections 7 correspond to one another, so that the locking elements engage in one another.

Im zusammengefügten Zustand der Bauteile 1,2 stehen die Verriegelungselmente 7,8 miteinander in Eingriff. Die Verriegelungselemente 7,8 sind insbesondere über die gesamte Länge der Längs- und/oder Schmalseiten der Bauteile 1 ,2 ausgebildet. In Fig. 1 ist an einer Federfläche 10 ein Vorsprung 7 ausgebildet, der von einerIn the assembled state of the components 1, 2, the locking elements 7, 8 engage with one another. The locking elements 7, 8 are formed in particular over the entire length of the long and / or narrow sides of the components 1, 2. In Fig. 1, a projection 7 is formed on a spring surface 10, which of a

Vertiefung 8 in der an diese Federfläche 10 anliegenden Nutfläche 9 aufgenommen wird. Beim Einführen der Feder 6 in die Nut 5 werden die beiden Schenkel 3,4 der Nut 5 elastisch auseinandergedrückt; auch beim Herausziehen der Feder 6 aus der Nut 5 erfolgt ein elastisches Spreizen der Nutschenkel 3,4.Indentation 8 is received in the groove surface 9 lying against this spring surface 10. When the spring 6 is inserted into the groove 5, the two legs 3, 4 of the groove 5 pressed apart elastically; even when the tongue 6 is pulled out of the groove 5, the groove legs 3, 4 are elastically spread.

Bei der in Fig. 1 dargestellten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist lediglich auf einer Seite der Feder 6 ein Vorsprung 7 ausgebildet. Der Vorsprung 7 ist derart ausgebildet, daß die Federfläche 10 vom vorderen freien Endbereich der Feder 6 eben verläuft bis zu einer Abknickung, die an der dicksten Stelle der Feder liegt und in eine hintere kurze Fläche 17 überleitet, die ihrerseits in eine zum Bauteil 2 führende Fläche 31 übergeht. Von der Vertiefung 8 in der Nutfläche 9 wird lediglich ein Teilbereich 30 der Federfläche 10 aufgenommen; dieser Teilbereich der Federfläche liegt jedoch in der Vertiefung satt an die Fläche 18' an; auch die hintere kürzere Fläche 17 liegt satt an der zur Nutöffnung hin gelegenen Fläche 17' der Vertiefung 8 an.In the embodiment of the invention shown in FIG. 1, a projection 7 is formed only on one side of the spring 6. The projection 7 is designed such that the spring surface 10 runs flat from the front free end region of the spring 6 to a bend which lies at the thickest point of the spring and leads into a short rear surface 17, which in turn leads to a component 2 Surface 31 merges. From the recess 8 in the groove surface 9, only a portion 30 of the spring surface 10 is received; however, this portion of the spring surface lies snugly against the surface 18 'in the depression; the rear, shorter surface 17 also lies snugly against the surface 17 ′ of the depression 8 that is located toward the groove opening.

Die Nutfläche 10 bzw. deren Teilbereich 30 ist unter einem Winkel α zur Oberfläche 13 der beiden Bauteile 1 ,2 geneigt; der hintere kürzere Flächenabschnitt 17 ist unter einem Winkel ß zur Oberfläche 13 der beiden Bauteile 1 ,2 geneigt. Gleiches gilt für die beiden Flächen 17' und 18' der Vertiefung 8 in dem Nutschenkel 3. Der außerhalb der Vertiefung 8 des Nutschenkels 3 gelegene bzw. nutgrundnahe Bereich der Nutfläche 9 ist unter einem Winkel γ zur Oberfläche 13 der beiden Bauteile geneigt. Unter demselben Winkel γ geneigt ist diejenige Fläche 10 der Feder 6, die keinen Vorsprung trägt und an der zugekehrten Nutfläche 9 satt anliegt. Zur Ausbildung einer definierten gegenseitigen Lage der verriegelten Bauteile 1,2 kann es zweckmäßig sein, wenn der Winkel α zur Nutz- bzw. Oberfläche 13 der längeren Dreieckseite 18 des Vorsprunges 7 auf der Feder 6 dem Winkel bzw. der Neigung, insbesondere des Vorderbereiches, der Federfläche 10 entspricht, die in ihrem Vorderbereich im Abstand von der Nutfläche 9 verläuft. Die Verriegelungselementfreie Federfläche 10 liegt über den Großteil ihrer Länge an der Nutinnenfläche 9 an und beide Flächen nähern sich vom Nutgrund 11 her gesehen der Oberfläche bzw. Nutzfläche 13 der beiden Bauelemente 1 ,2 unter dem Winkel γ.The groove surface 10 or its partial area 30 is inclined at an angle α to the surface 13 of the two components 1, 2; the rear, shorter surface section 17 is inclined at an angle β to the surface 13 of the two components 1, 2. The same applies to the two surfaces 17 'and 18' of the recess 8 in the groove leg 3. The area of the groove surface 9 located outside the recess 8 of the groove leg 3 or close to the groove base is inclined at an angle γ to the surface 13 of the two components. The surface 10 of the tongue 6 which does not have a projection and which fits snugly against the facing groove surface 9 is inclined at the same angle γ. To form a defined mutual position of the locked components 1, 2, it can be expedient if the angle α to the useful surface 13 of the longer triangular side 18 of the projection 7 on the spring 6 is the angle or the inclination, in particular of the front area. corresponds to the spring surface 10, which runs at a distance from the groove surface 9 in its front region. The locking element-free spring surface 10 lies over the major part of its length on the groove inner surface 9 and, seen from the groove base 11, both surfaces approach the surface or useful surface 13 of the two components 1, 2 at the angle γ.

Für die Praxis ist es von Vorteil, wenn die Vertiefung bzw. die Nut in den oberflächennahen Nut- und Federflächen vorgesehen sind. Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn in beiden Federflächen und beiden Nutflächen entsprechende Verriegelungselemente vorgesehen werden.In practice, it is advantageous if the recess or the groove is provided in the tongue and groove surfaces near the surface. It is particularly advantageous if corresponding locking elements are provided in both tongue surfaces and both groove surfaces.

Man erkennt aus Fig. 1 , daß bei einem Einschieben der Feder 6 in die Nut die Nutschenkel 3,4 voneinander entfernt werden, insbesondere gleiten die nutöffnungsnahe Fläche 25' und die Federfläche 10, insbesondere deren Bereich 30 aufeinander ab, sodaß ein Aufweiten der Nutschenkel 3,4 ohne deren Beschädigung erreicht wird. Beim Herausziehen der Feder 6 aus der Nut 5 wird durch Abgleiten der Flächen 17 und 17' aneinander ein Aufweiten der Nutschenkel 3,4 erreicht. In Fig. 2 ist eine besonders vorteilhafte Ausführungsform der Erfindung dargestellt, bei der die Nut 5 und die Feder 6 vorteilhafterweise symmetrisch zu einer senkrecht zur Zeichenebene verlaufenden Mittelebene M' durch die Bauteile 1,2 ausgebildet sind.It can be seen from FIG. 1 that when the tongue 6 is inserted into the groove, the groove legs 3, 4 are separated from one another, in particular the surface 25 'close to the groove opening and the spring surface 10, in particular their area 30, slide against one another, so that the groove legs expand 3.4 without being damaged. When the spring 6 is pulled out of the groove 5, the surfaces of the grooves 3, 4 are widened by sliding the surfaces 17 and 17 'against one another. 2 shows a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, in which the groove 5 and the tongue 6 are advantageously formed symmetrically to a central plane M ′ running perpendicular to the plane of the drawing by the components 1, 2.

Der Querschnitt des Vorsprunges 7 bzw. der Vertiefung 8 gemäß Fig. 2 ist dreieckförmig, wobei die näher zur Nutöffnung gelegenen Dreieckseiten 17, 17' kürzer und stärker geneigt sind als die näher dem Nutgrund 11 gelegenen Dreieckseiten 18, 18'. Beim Einführen der Feder 6 in die Nut 5 gleitet die längere Seite 18 des Vorsprunges 7 auf der Innenkante bzw. einer in diesem Bereich ausgebildeten Abschrägung 25' des Nutschenkels 3 so lange bis der Vorsprung 7 diese Innenkantenfläche 25' überwunden hat und von der Vertiefung 8 aufgenommen wird.The cross section of the projection 7 or of the depression 8 according to FIG. 2 is triangular, the triangular sides 17, 17 'closer to the groove opening being shorter and more inclined than the triangular sides 18, 18' closer to the groove base 11. When the spring 6 is inserted into the groove 5, the longer side 18 of the projection 7 slides on the inner edge or a bevel 25 ′ of the groove leg 3 formed in this area until the projection 7 has overcome this inner edge surface 25 ′ and from the depression 8 is recorded.

Bei der vorteilhaften Ausführungsform gemäß Fig. 2 ist vorgesehen, daß an den beiden gegenüberliegenden Federfiächen 10, insbesondere symmetrisch liegende Vorsprünge 7 oder Vertiefungen 8 und auf beiden anliegenden Nutflächen 9 an diese Vorsprünge 7 bzw. Vertiefungen 8 angepaßte Vertiefungen und Vorsprünge ausgebildet sind bzw. daß Nut 5 und Feder 6 schwalbenschwanzförmig ausgebildet und aneinander angepaßt sind. Diese Ausführungsform ermöglicht eine doppelte Verriegelung der beiden Bauelemente 1 ,2, wobei auch eine derartige Verriegelung leicht lösbar ist, indem die beiden Bauteile 1 ,2 in der von ihnen aufgespannten Ebene voneinander entfernt bzw. auseinandergezogen werden. Bei dieser Ausführungsform geht die längere Dreieckseite 18 bzw. die von dieserIn the advantageous embodiment according to FIG. 2, it is provided that on the two opposite spring surfaces 10, in particular symmetrically lying projections 7 or depressions 8 and on both adjacent groove surfaces 9, recesses and projections 8 adapted to these projections 7 or depressions are formed or that Groove 5 and tongue 6 are dovetail-shaped and are adapted to one another. This embodiment enables a double locking of the two components 1, 2, wherein such a locking can also be easily released by pulling the two components 1, 2 apart or pulling them apart in the plane they span. In this embodiment, the longer triangle side 18 or that of this goes

Seite gebildete Fläche des Vorsprunges 7 unter Ausbildung eines Knickes 19 in den vorderen Bereich der Federfläche 10 über; der nutgrundnahe Bereich der Nutfläche 9 und dieser vordere Bereich der Federfläche 10 liegen ebenso wie der Vorsprung 7 und die Vertiefung 8 satt aneinander an; auf diese Weise kann eine sehr exakte Verbindung der Bauteile 1 ,2 erreicht werden und gleichzeitig wird gewährleistet, daß die Stirnflächen der Bauteile 1 ,2 unter Druck aneinander anliegen bzw. einander angenähert werden, sodaß ein Spalt zwischen den Bauteilen 1 ,2 an der Nutzfläche 13 bzw. ein Entfernen der Bauteile 1 ,2 im Zuge ihrer Benutzung vermieden wird.Side formed surface of the projection 7 to form a kink 19 in the front region of the spring surface 10; the region of the groove surface 9 near the base of the groove and this front region of the spring surface 10, as well as the projection 7 and the recess 8, lie snugly against one another; In this way, a very exact connection of the components 1, 2 can be achieved and at the same time it is ensured that the end faces of the components 1, 2 abut against one another or come closer to one another under pressure, so that a gap between the components 1, 2 on the usable surface 13 or a removal of the components 1, 2 is avoided in the course of their use.

Der nutgrundnahe Bereich der Nutflächen 9 und der dem freien Ende der Feder 6 nahe Bereich der Federflächen 10 weist denselben Neigungswinkel γ auf. Der Winkel α, den die Flächen 18 des Vorsprunges bzw. die Flächen 18' der Vertiefung mit der Oberfläche 13 der Bauteile 1 ,2 einschließen, ist größer als der Winkel γ. Unter diesem Winkel α ist auch der nutöffnungsnahe Bereich der Innenkantenfläche 25' zur Oberfläche 13 der beiden Bauteile 1 ,2 geneigt. Der Winkel ß, unter dem die kürzeren Dreieckseiten 17,17' geneigt sind, ist größer als der Winkel α und schließt mit der Oberfläche 13 der Bauteile 1 ,2 vorteilhafterweise einen Winkel zwischen 25° bis 65° ein. Für das Verbinden und das Lösen ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die nutgrundnahen Dreieckseiten 18, 18' etwa vier- bis achtmal, vorzugsweise fünf- bis siebenmal, so lang ist als die nutgrundfernen Dreieckseiten 17,17' und wenn der Winkel zwischen den beiden Dreieckseiten 17, 18 bzw. 17' 18' 100 bis 140°, insbesondere 110 bis 130°, beträgt. Zur Erleichterung des Einführens ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die innenliegendenThe region of the groove surfaces 9 close to the groove base and the region of the spring surfaces 10 close to the free end of the tongue 6 have the same angle of inclination γ. The angle α, which the surfaces 18 of the projection or the surfaces 18 'of the recess form with the surface 13 of the components 1, 2, is greater than the angle γ. At this angle α, the area of the inner edge surface 25 'close to the groove opening is also inclined to the surface 13 of the two components 1, 2. The angle β, at which the shorter triangular sides 17, 17 'are inclined, is greater than the angle α and advantageously includes an angle between 25 ° and 65 ° with the surface 13 of the components 1, 2. For connecting and detaching, it is advantageous if the triangular sides 18, 18 'near the base of the groove is about four to eight times, preferably five to seven times, as long as the triangular sides 17, 17' remote from the base of the groove and if the angle between the two triangular sides 17 , 18 or 17 '18' is 100 to 140 °, in particular 110 to 130 °. To facilitate insertion, it is advantageous if the inner

Endkanten der Feder 6 mit Abschrägungen 12 und/oder die innenliegende Endkante des rast- bzw. Verriegelungselementfreien Nutschenkels 4 mit einer Abschrägung 29 versehen sind.End edges of the spring 6 with bevels 12 and / or the inner end edge of the detent or locking element-free groove leg 4 are provided with a bevel 29.

Mit der erfindungsgemäßen Verbindungsweise wird es möglich und ist es beabsichtigt, daß die miteinander zu verbindenden Bauteile 1,2 mit ihren Unterflächen 15 in einer Ebene liegen.With the connection method according to the invention, it is possible and it is intended that the components 1, 2 to be connected lie with their lower surfaces 15 in one plane.

Prinzipiell können auf einer Nut- bzw. Federfläche auch mehrere Vorsprünge und/oder Vertiefungen ausgebildet werden. in Fig. 3 ist eine Ausführungsform der Erfindung dargestellt, bei der jeder der einzelnen Bauteile 1 ,2 an seinen beiden gegenüberliegenden Stirnflächen oder an allen seinen vier Stirnflächen mit Nuten 5 oder mit Federn 6 versehen ist. Die Bauteile 1,2 sind somit, bezogen auf ihre schematisch dargestellte Mittelebene M symmetrisch aufgebaut.In principle, several projections and / or depressions can also be formed on a tongue or groove surface. 3 shows an embodiment of the invention in which each of the individual components 1, 2 is provided with grooves 5 or with springs 6 on its two opposite end faces or on all of its four end faces. The components 1, 2 are thus constructed symmetrically with respect to their schematically represented center plane M.

Die Ausbildung der Nuten 5 bzw. Federn 6 erfolgt in der gleichen Art und Weise, wie sie in Zusammenhang mit den Fig. 1 und 2 bzw. in der vorangehenden Beschreibung beschrieben wurde. Wie aus Fig. 3 zu entnehmen ist, sind die miteinander in Eingriff stehenden Vorsprünge 7 und Vertiefungen 8 aneinander angepaßt und entsprechend ihrer Querschnittsform nach den Vorsprüngen 7 und Vertiefungen 8 der in den Fig. 1 und 2 beschriebenen Vertiefungen. Es ist allerdings prinzipiell möglich, andere ähnliche Querschnittsformen für die Verriegelungselemente 7,8 zu wählen bzw. andere Neigungswinkel der Nut- und Federflächen in Bezug auf die Oberfläche 13 der Bauteile 1 ,2 zu wählen als dargestellt. Wesentlich ist die Elastizität der Schenkel 3,4, um das Verrasten der Verriegelungselemente 7,8 zu gewährleisten.The grooves 5 and tongues 6 are formed in the same manner as was described in connection with FIGS. 1 and 2 or in the preceding description. As can be seen from FIG. 3, the mutually engaging projections 7 and depressions 8 are adapted to one another and according to their cross-sectional shape after the projections 7 and depressions 8 of the depressions described in FIGS. 1 and 2. In principle, however, it is possible to choose other similar cross-sectional shapes for the locking elements 7, 8 or to choose different angles of inclination of the tongue and groove surfaces with respect to the surface 13 of the components 1, 2 than shown. The elasticity of the legs 3, 4 is essential in order to ensure the locking of the locking elements 7, 8.

Der in Fig. 3 dargestellte relativ schmale bzw. leistenförmige Bauteil 2 besitzt zwei Federn 6 jeweils mit einem Schwalbenschwanzprofil; die in Fig. 3 dargestellten relativ breiten Bauteile 1 besitzen an ihren gegenüberliegenden Stirnflächen, insbesondere an allen vier Stirnflächen schwalbenschwanzförmige Nuten 5.The relatively narrow or strip-shaped component 2 shown in FIG. 3 has two springs 6, each with a dovetail profile; The relatively wide components 1 shown in FIG. 3 have dovetail grooves 5 on their opposite end faces, in particular on all four end faces.

Die Bauteile 1 könnten auch quadratisch ausgebildet sein und ergeben in Kombination mit den leistenförmigen Bauteilen 2 ein optisch ansehnliches Muster.The components 1 could also be square and in combination with the strip-shaped components 2 result in an optically attractive pattern.

Die leistenförmigen Bauteile 2 sind leicht handhabbar bzw. abzulängen; die Bauteile 1 können über ihrem Umfang auf den Stirnflächen ausgebildete Nuten 5 besitzen, sodaß eine allseitige Verbindung der Bauteile 1 mit den leistenförmigen Bauteilen 2 ausgeführt werden kann. Prinzipiell möglich ist es auch, daß an gegenüberliegenden Stirnflächen oder an allen Stirnflächen der Bauteile 1 ,2 jeweils Nuten 5 oder Federn 6 ausgebildet werden, um bezüglich ihrer Längs- und gegebenenfalls Quermittelebene symmetrische Bauteile zu erstellen. The strip-shaped components 2 are easy to handle or cut to length; the components 1 can have grooves 5 formed over their circumference on the end faces, so that all-round connection of the components 1 to the strip-shaped components 2 can be carried out. In principle, it is also possible for grooves 5 or tongues 6 to be formed on opposite end faces or on all end faces of the components 1, 2, in order to create symmetrical components with respect to their longitudinal and possibly transverse center plane.
