Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Stufenbekleidung für eine Treppenstufe mit einer oberen Trittplatte und einer seitlichen Setzplatte, wobei die Trittplatte im vorderen Längskantenbereich an der Unterseite eine längsverlaufende Befestigungsnut zum Einstecken der Setzplatte aufweist und die Setzplatte mit ihrer oberen, der Befestigungsnut zugeordneten Einsteckkante einen zylindrisch abgerundeten Kopfteil bildet, dessen konvexe Außenkontur an den lichten Querschnitt der Befestigungsnut angepaßt ist.The invention relates to a step clothing for a step with a upper tread plate and a lateral setting plate, wherein the tread plate in the front Longitudinal edge region at the bottom of a longitudinal mounting groove for Inserting the setting plate and the set plate with its upper, the mounting groove associated insertion edge forms a cylindrically rounded head part, whose convex outer contour adapted to the clear cross section of the mounting groove is.

Diese Stufenbekleidungen dienen zur Sanierung und Renovierung bestehender Treppen und können selbstverständlich auch zur Abdeckung neuer Treppenkörper verwendet werden. Durch das Ineinanderstecken der Tritt- und Setzplatten entsteht eine saubere, ausreichend belastbare Bekleidung.These stage dresses are used to refurbish and renovate existing stairs and, of course, can also be used to cover new staircases become. By nesting the tread and setting plates creates a clean, sufficiently durable clothing.

Um eine ausreichende Beweglichkeit der Setzplatte gegenüber der Trittplatte zu gewährleisten, ist es bei Metall- oder Kunststoffprofilen bekannt (EP 084 725 A1), an der Unterseite der Trittplatte eine Nut und an der oberen Einsteckkante der Setzplatte eine Feder mit gegenüber der Federbreite vergrößertem Kopfteil vorzusehen, was allerdings den Nachteil einer verbreiterten Nut und somit mehr Platzbedarf für die Nut mit sich bringt. Weiters ist es bekannt (DE 1 110 390 B), Nuten der Trittplatten und Einsteckkanten der Setzplatten mit kreisförmigem Querschnitt zu versehen. Bei dieser bekannten Konstruktion ist eine Korrektur der Tritthöhe allerdings immer mit einer Veränderung der Trittlänge verbunden.In order to ensure sufficient mobility of the setting plate opposite the footboard, it is in metal or plastic profiles known (EP 084 725 A1), at the Bottom of the footboard a groove and at the upper insertion edge of the setting plate one Provide spring with respect to the spring width enlarged headboard, which, however the disadvantage of a widened groove and thus more space for the groove with it brings. Furthermore, it is known (DE 1 110 390 B), grooves of the tread plates and Einsteckkanten to provide the setting plates with a circular cross-section. In this known Construction is a correction of the step height but always with a change connected to the kick length.

Werden eine rechteckige Oberkantenform der Setzplatte und eine rechteckige Form der zugeordneten Befestigungsnut der Trittplatte gewählt, ergibt sich eine starre, rechtwinkelige Verbindung zwischen Tritt- und Setzplatte, die einen Ausgleich von Unregelmäßigkeiten bei der Alttreppe bzw. dem Treppenkörper kaum zuläßt und vor der Montage eine entsprechend aufwendige und zeitraubende Vorbereitung der Alttreppen bzw. Treppenkörper verlangt.Become a rectangular top edge shape of the setting plate and a rectangular shape chosen the associated mounting groove of the tread plate, resulting in a rigid, rectangular Connection between pedal and set plate, which compensates for Irregularities in the old staircase or the staircase barely allows and before the assembly a correspondingly complex and time-consuming preparation of the old stairs or stairs required.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Stufenbekleidung der eingangs geschilderten Art zu schaffen, die leicht zu verlegen ist und sich auch bei voll in die Befestigungsnut eingreifendem Kopfteil durch ihre Anpaßbarkeit an die jeweiligen baulichen Gegebenheiten auszeichnet.The invention is therefore based on the object, a stage clothing of the beginning To create the described way, which is easy to lay and also fully in the Befestigungsnut engaging headboard by their adaptability to the respective structural conditions.

Die Erfindung löst diese Aufgabe dadurch, daß der Kopfteil der Setzplatte an der Rückseite in einer Hohlkehle endet und daß die Trittplatte eine ihrer hinteren Längskante entlang verlaufende zusätzliche Verbindungsnut besitzt.The invention solves this problem in that the head part of the setting plate on the back ends in a groove and that the tread plate one of its rear longitudinal edge along extending additional connecting groove has.

Kopfteil und Befestigungsnut ergeben zusammen eine Art Scharnier, so daß die mit der Trittplatte zusammengesteckte Setzplatte gegenüber der Trittplatte innerhalb eines bestimmten Winkelbereiches verschwenkbar ist, was eine einfache Anpassung der Stufenbekleidung an die jeweiligen Montageverhältnisse bei der Renovierung von Alttreppen oder der Abdeckung neuer Treppenkörper erlaubt. Da der Kopfteil der Setzplatte an der Rückseite in einer Hohlkehle endet, wird ein ausreichend großer Schwenkbereich der Setzplatte gegenüber der Trittplatte sichergestellt, auch wenn der Kopfteil voll in die Befestigungsnut eingreift. Dadurch, daß die Trittplatte an ihrer hinteren Längskante noch mit einer zusätzlichen Verbindungsnut ausgestattet ist, können unter Einsatz einer Feder zwei Trittplatten mit ihren hinteren Längskanten über eine Nut-Federverbindung stumpf gestoßen und zu einer doppeltbreiten Trittplatte vereinigt werden, wodurch sich auch überbreite Treppenstufen nach einem entsprechenden Zuschnitt dieser Doppeltrittplatte rationell bekleiden lassen.Headboard and mounting groove together form a kind of hinge, so that with the Tread plate put together setting plate opposite the tread plate within a certain angular range is pivotable, resulting in a simple adjustment of Step clothing to the respective installation conditions during the renovation of Old stairs or the cover of new stairs allowed. Because the head part of the setting plate ends at the back in a groove, becomes a sufficiently large Swivel range of the setting plate against the foot plate ensured, even if the Head fully engages the mounting groove. Because the tread plate at its rear Longitudinal edge is still equipped with an additional connecting groove can using a spring two tread plates with their rear longitudinal edges over a Tongue-butt joint butted and united into a double-width tread plate become, whereby also over-wide steps after an appropriate Reasonably dress the blank of this double-tread plate.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn Tritt- und Setzplatte samt einem Montagezubehör zu einer Verpackungseinheit zusammengefaßt sind, da durch diese Verpackungseinheit für jede Treppenstufe bereits alle notwendigen Bekleidungsteile und die zur Montage notwendigen Zubehörteile, wie Montageanleitung, Antirutschband für die Trittstufe, eine zusätzliche Feder für die Nut-Federverbindung zweier Trittplatten, Abdeckteile für die Plattenstirnseiten, Befestigungsschrauben u. dgl., vorbereitet sind und die Stufenbekleidung von jedermann recht einfach verlegt werden kann.It is particularly advantageous when stepping and setting plate together with a mounting accessory a packaging unit are summarized, as by this packaging unit For every step already all necessary clothing parts and for assembly necessary accessories, such as assembly instructions, anti-slip tape for the step, one additional spring for the tongue and groove connection of two tread plates, cover parts for the Plate end faces, fastening screws u. Like., Are prepared and the step clothing can be easily moved by anyone.
