Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Profilschienensystem für Bodenbeläge, zur Abdeckung von Freiräumen und/oder zur Überbrückung von Höhenunterschieden zwischen verschiedenen Bodenbelägen, bestehend aus einem Bodenprofil, welches insbesondere mittels stiftartiger Befestigungsteile oder durch Verklebung am Boden fixierbar ist, und mit einem daran anbringbaren, den Freiraum zumindest einseitig übergreifenden Abdeckprofil, wobei das Abdeckprofil und das Bodenprofil jeweils ein Verbindungselement mit zwei voneinander beabstandeten, zumindest teilweise in einem Winkel zum Bodenbelag ausgerichteten Kontaktflächen zur gegenseitigen Befestigung aufweisen und die Kontaktflächen des einen Verbindungselementes im montierten Zustand des Profilschienensystems zumindest zweiseitig gegenüberliegend von den Kontaktflächen des anderen Verbindungselementes umgeben sind, und wobei die Kontaktflächen beider Verbindungselemente eine haftungsverbessernde oberfläche, insbesondere eine Beschichtung, z.B. aus Gummi, einem rauen Material oder dergleichen oder eine Struktur, z.B. eine Riffelung oder dergleichen aufweisen.The invention relates to a profiled rail system for floor coverings, to cover free spaces and / or to bridge height differences between different floor coverings, consisting of a bottom profile, which is fixed in particular by means of pin-like fasteners or by gluing on the ground, and with an attachable thereto, the free space at least one-sided cross-cover profile, wherein the cover and the bottom profile each having a connecting element with two spaced, at least partially aligned at an angle to the floor contact surfaces for mutual attachment and the contact surfaces of a connecting element in the mounted state of the profile rail system at least two sides opposite of the contact surfaces of the other Are surrounded connecting element, and wherein the contact surfaces of both connecting elements an adhesion-improving surface, in particular a coating, eg rubber, a rough material or the like, or a structure, e.g. have a corrugation or the like.

Aus der Praxis sind derartige Profilschienensysteme bekannt, bei denen das Bodenprofil durch Verschrauben und/oder Verkleben am Boden befestigt wird. Üblicherweise ist das Bodenprofil dabei in einer Lücke zwischen zwei verschieden hohen Bodenbelägen angeordnet, die Bodenbeläge können aber auch identisch und gleich hoch sein oder das Profil kann als Abschlussleiste in einem Freiraum zwischen Bodenbelag und Wand angeordnet sein. Auf das Bodenprofil wird dann das Abdeckprofil aufgebracht, indem es mit seinem Verbindungselement an dem Verbindungselement des Bodenprofils befestigt wird, wobei die Kontaktflächen des einen Verbindungselementes zweiseitig gegenüberliegend von den Kontaktflächen des anderen Verbindungselementes umgeben und gehalten sind. Ein derartiges Profilsystem ist beispielsweise aus der DE 299 16 138 U1 bekannt.From practice such profile rail systems are known in which the soil profile by screwing and / or gluing is attached to the ground. Usually, the soil profile is arranged in a gap between two different high floor coverings, but the floor coverings can also be identical and the same height or the profile can be arranged as end bar in a space between the floor covering and wall. The cover profile is then applied to the floor profile by being fastened with its connecting element to the connecting element of the floor profile, wherein the contact surfaces of one connecting element are surrounded and held on both sides by the contact surfaces of the other connecting element. Such a profile system is known for example from DE 299 16 138 U1.

Dabei sind die Kontaktflächen der Verbindungselemente geradlinig und parallel zueinander ausgebildet und in etwa in einem rechten Winkel zum Bodenbelag ausgerichtet, so dass bei der Montage eine Befestigung der Profile aneinander durch einfaches "Aufdrücken" des Abdeckprofils mit seinem Befestigungselement auf das Befestigungselement des Bodenprofils erfolgen kann. Je nachdem, wie weit das Abdeckprofil auf das Bodenprofil aufgeschoben wird, kann eine Anspassung des Profilsystems an unterschiedlich hohe Bodenbeläge erfolgen, ohne dass konstruktive Änderungen an den Profilen erforderlich sind.In this case, the contact surfaces of the connecting elements are rectilinear and parallel to each other and aligned approximately at a right angle to the floor covering, so that when mounting the profiles can be attached to each other by simply "pressing" the cover with its fastener on the fastener of the soil profile. Depending on how far the cover profile is pushed onto the floor profile, a fitting of the profile system can be carried out on different levels of floor coverings, without design changes to the profiles are required.

Nachteilig hierbei ist, dass die Anpassungsfähigkeit an die Höhe der Bodenbeläge nur insoweit möglich ist, als die beiderseitigen Bodenbeläge eine übereinstimmende Höhendifferenz aufweisen. Eine Anpassung an verschiedene Höhenunterschiede der jeweils seitlich befindlichen Bodenbeläge ist aufgrund der rein translatorischen Bewegung beim Anbringen der Profile aneinander nicht möglich.The disadvantage here is that the adaptability to the height of the floor coverings is possible only insofar as the mutual floor coverings have a matching height difference. An adaptation to different height differences of the respective laterally located floor coverings is not possible due to the purely translational movement when attaching the profiles to each other.

Die DE 86 00 241 U beschreibt ein Profilsystem, bei dem die Kontaktflächen der Verbindungselemente des Bodenprofils geradlinig und parallel zueinander ausgebildet und in etwa in einem rechten Winkel zum Bodenbelag ausgerichtet sind. Diese Kontaktflächen des Bodenprofils weisen sich jeweils paarweise gegenüberliegende Längsrillenpaare auf und die Kontaktflächen des Abdeckprofils sind als eine Querschnittserweiterung am Ende des in das Bodenprofil hineinragenden Stegs des Abdeckprofils ausgebildet, die seitlich gerundete Bereiche aufweist.DE 86 00 241 U describes a profile system in which the contact surfaces of the connecting elements of the bottom profile are formed in a straight line and parallel to each other and aligned approximately at a right angle to the floor covering. These contact surfaces of the bottom profile are each pairwise opposite pairs of longitudinal grooves and the contact surfaces of the cover are formed as a cross-sectional widening at the end of the projecting into the bottom profile web of the cover, which has laterally rounded portions.

Insoweit kann bei der Montage eine Befestigung der Profile aneinander durch einfaches "Aufdrücken" des Abdeckprofils mit seinem Befestigungselement auf das Befestigungselement des Bodenprofils erfolgen. Durch die Ausgestaltung der Querschnittserweiterung ist eine geringe Schrägstellung des Stegs des Abdeckprofils möglich, die einen Ausgleich von Toleranzunterschieden ermöglicht. Für eine weitergehende Anpassung an unterschiedliche Höhenunterschiede sind Sollbiegestellen an den Unterseiten der Schenkel des Abdeckprofils vorgesehen, die dazu dienen, dass die Schenkel nachgebogen werden können.In that regard, an attachment of the profiles to each other by simply "pressing" the cover profile with his fastener on the fastener of the soil profile can be done during assembly. Due to the design of the cross-sectional widening a slight inclination of the web of the cover is possible, which allows compensation of tolerance differences. For further adaptation to different height differences, predetermined bending points are provided on the undersides of the legs of the cover profile, which serve to allow the legs to be bent.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, den vorgenannten Nachteil zu vermeiden und ein Profilschienensystem für Bodenbeläge, zur Abdeckung von Freiräumen und/oder zur Überbrückung von Höhenunterschieden zwischen verschiedenen Bodenbelägen, bestehend aus einem Bodenprofil, welches insbesondere mittels stiftartiger Befestigungsteile oder durch Verklebung am Boden fixierbar ist, und mit einem daran anbringbaren, den Freiraum zumindest einseitig übergreifenden Abdeckprofil, wobei das Abdeckprofil und das Bodenprofil jeweils ein Verbindungselement mit zwei voneinander beabstandeten, zumindest teilweise in einem Winkel zum Bodenbelag ausgerichteten Kontaktflächen zur gegenseitigen Befestigung aufweisen und die Kontaktflächen des einen Verbindungselementes im montierten Zustand des Profilschienensystems zumindest zweiseitig gegenüberliegend von den Kontaktflächen des anderen Verbindungselementes umgeben sind anzugeben, mit dem eine flexible Anwendung sowohl bei übereinstimmenden als auch bei unterschiedlichen Höhendifferenzen der seitlichen Bodenbeläge möglich ist.The object of the invention is to avoid the above-mentioned disadvantage and a profiled rail system for floor coverings, for covering free spaces and / or bridging differences in height between different floor coverings, consisting of a bottom profile, which in particular by means of pin-like fasteners or by gluing on the ground can be fixed and with a thereto attachable, the free space at least on one side cross-cover profile, wherein the cover and the bottom profile in each case a connecting element with two spaced-apart, at least partially aligned at an angle to the floor covering Have contact surfaces for mutual attachment and the contact surfaces of a connecting element in the mounted state of the profile rail system are surrounded at least two sides opposite of the contact surfaces of the other connecting element, with a flexible application is possible both at matching and at different height differences of the side floor coverings.

Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst durch ein Profilschienensystem der vorgenannten Art, wobei bei einem Verbindungselement die Kontaktflächen geradlinig und parallel zueinander ausgebildet sind und bei dem anderen Verbindungselement die Kontaktflächen jeweils einen gewölbten, im Durchmesser dem Abstand der parallelen Kontaktflächen angepassten Kontaktbereich aufweisen, und wobei die Kontaktflächen mit den gewölbten Kontaktbereichen als eine wenigstens teilweise umlaufende, einen zumindest kreis- oder kreisringsegmentförmigen Querschnitt aufweisende Fläche ausgebildet sind.This object is achieved by a profiled rail system of the aforementioned type, wherein in a connecting element, the contact surfaces are rectilinear and parallel to each other and in the other connecting element, the contact surfaces each have a curved, the diameter of the distance of the parallel contact surfaces adapted contact area, and wherein the contact surfaces with the curved contact areas as an at least partially encircling, at least a circular or annular segment-shaped cross-section having surface are formed.

Hierdurch ist eine geradlinige Verlagerung des Verbindungselementes mit den gewölbten Kontaktflächen in den geradlinig und parallel zueinander ausgebildeten Kontaktflächen zur translatorischen Anpassung möglich und es kann durch Verdrehen des Verbindungselementes mit den gewölbten Kontaktflächen eine rotatorische Anpassung an unterschiedliche Höhendifferenzen der Fußbodenbeläge erfolgen. Durch die haftungsverbessernden Oberflächen der Kontaktflächen der beiden Verbindungselemente wird die eingestellte und an die örtlichen Gegebenheiten angepasste Ausrichtung der Profile stabil und sicher gehalten.In this way, a straight-line displacement of the connecting element with the curved contact surfaces in the rectilinear and parallel contact surfaces for translational adjustment is possible and it can be done by rotating the connecting element with the curved contact surfaces a rotational adjustment to different height differences of the floor coverings. Due to the adhesion-improving surfaces of the contact surfaces of the two connecting elements, the set and adapted to the local conditions alignment of the profiles is stable and secure.

Dabei können die geradlinig und parallel zueinander ausgebildeten Kontaktflächen des einen Verbindungselementes unterschiedlich hoch ausgebildet sein, so dass das Verkippen zum Ausgleich unterschiedlicher Höhendifferenzen in eine Richtung besonders weit möglich ist und der Verstellbereich nochmals erweitert wird.In this case, the rectilinear and parallel to each other formed contact surfaces of a connecting element may be formed differently high, so that the tilting to compensate for different height differences in one direction is particularly far possible and the adjustment is further expanded.

Auch kann die Riffelung der geradlinigen Kontaktflächen eine in etwa wellenförmige Struktur aufweisen und die beim Erstellen der Verbindung der beiden Verbindungselemente dem anderen Verbindungselement zugewandten Flanken der Wellen können im Wesentlichen einen Winkel von ca. 45° oder weniger zur generellen Erstreckung der Kontaktflächen aufweisen, so dass aufgrund der schrägen Wellenkanten durch leichtes Aufdrücken eine einfache Montage möglich ist.Also, the corrugation of the linear contact surfaces may have an approximately wave-shaped structure and the flanks of the corrugations facing the other connecting element when establishing the connection of the two connecting elements may essentially have an angle of approximately 45 ° or less relative to the overall extent of the contact surfaces, so that due to the oblique wave edges by light pressing a simple assembly is possible.

Hierzu kann auch die Riffelung des gewölbten Kontaktbereichs eine in etwa wellenförmige Struktur aufweisen und es können die beim Erstellen der Verbindung der beiden Verbindungselemente dem anderen Verbindungselement zugewandten Flanken der Wellen im Wesentlichen einen Winkel von ca. 30° oder mehr zum Radius der Wellenmitte aufweisen.For this purpose, the corrugation of the curved contact region may also have an approximately wave-shaped structure, and the flanks of the corrugations facing the other connecting element when establishing the connection of the two connecting elements may essentially have an angle of approximately 30 ° or more to the radius of the shaft center.

Auch kann die Riffelung der geradlinigen Kontaktflächen eine in etwa wellenförmige Struktur aufweisen und die beim Erstellen der Verbindung der beiden Verbindungselemente dem anderen Verbindungselement abgewandten Flanken der Wellen können im Wesentlichen steil angestellt sein und einen Winkel größer als 45° zur generellen Erstreckung der Kontaktflächen aufweisen, so dass ein Lösen der Verbindung zwar möglich ist, unter normalen Belastungszuständen jedoch sicher vermieden wird. Lediglich durch gezieltes "Abheben" lässt sich das Abdeckprofil zerstörungsfrei demontieren.Also, the corrugation of the straight contact surfaces may have an approximately wave-shaped structure and the edges of the waves facing away from the other connecting element when establishing the connection of the two connecting elements can be made substantially steep and have an angle greater than 45 ° to the general extent of the contact surfaces, so Although a release of the connection is possible, it is certainly avoided under normal load conditions. Only by targeted The cover profile can be disassembled nondestructively.

Hierfür kann auch die Riffelung des gewölbten Kontaktbereichs eine in etwa wellenförmige Struktur aufweisen und die beim Erstellen der Verbindung der beiden Verbindungselemente dem anderen Verbindungselement abgewandten Flanken der Wellen können im Wesentlichen einen Winkel geringer als 30° zum Radius der Wellenmitte aufweisen.For this purpose, the corrugation of the curved contact region may have an approximately wave-shaped structure and the flanks of the shafts facing away from the other connecting element when establishing the connection of the two connecting elements may essentially have an angle smaller than 30 ° to the radius of the shaft center.

Dabei können die Kontaktflächen wenigstens eines Verbindungselementes zumindest leicht federnd ausgebildet sein, so dass die Montage nochmals erleichtert wird.In this case, the contact surfaces of at least one connecting element may be at least slightly resilient, so that the assembly is facilitated once again.

Erfindungsgemäß können die geradlinigen und parallelen Kontaktflächen an dem Bodenprofil und die Kontaktflächen mit dem gewölbten Kontaktbereich an dem Abdeckprofil angeordnet sein, oder es können die geradlinigen und parallelen Kontaktflächen an dem Abdeckprofil und die Kontaktflächen mit dem gewölbten Kontaktbereich an dem Bodenprofil angeordnet sein.According to the invention, the rectilinear and parallel contact surfaces on the bottom profile and the contact surfaces with the curved contact region can be arranged on the cover profile, or the rectilinear and parallel contact surfaces on the cover profile and the contact surfaces with the curved contact region can be arranged on the bottom profile.

Erfindungsgemäß kann die Unterseite des Bodenprofils eine haftungsverbessernde Oberfläche, insbesondere eine Beschichtung, z.B. aus Gummi, einem rauhen Material oder dergleichen oder eine Struktur, z.B. eine Riffelung oder dergleichen aufweisen, und/oder es kann weiterhin auch die Oberseite des Bodenprofils eine haftungsverbessernde Oberfläche, insbesondere eine Beschichtung, z.B. aus Gummi, einem rauhen Material oder dergleichen oder eine Struktur, z.B. eine Riffelung oder dergleichen aufweisen.According to the invention, the underside of the bottom profile may have an adhesion-improving surface, in particular a coating, e.g. made of rubber, a rough material or the like, or a structure, e.g. a corrugation or the like, and / or it can also continue the top of the soil profile an adhesion-improving surface, in particular a coating, e.g. made of rubber, a rough material or the like, or a structure, e.g. have a corrugation or the like.

Figur 1 zeigt ein Profilschienensystem 1 für Bodenbeläge 2, 3 zur Abdeckung eines Freiraumes 4 und zur Überbrückung des Höhenunterschiedes zwischen den Bodenbelägen 2, 3. Das Profilschienensystem 1 besteht aus einem Bodenprofil 5 und einem daran befestigbaren Abdeckprofil 6.1 shows a profiled rail system 1 for floor coverings 2, 3 for covering a free space 4 and for bridging the height difference between the floor coverings 2, 3. The profiled rail system 1 consists of a bottom profile 5 and a cover profile 6 which can be fastened thereto.

Das Bodenprofil 5 setzt sich zusammen aus einem sich längs in dem Freiraum 4 flach erstreckenden horizontalen Basissteg 7, an den sich in einem Winkel zum Bodenbelag in etwa horizontal ausgerichtete Kontaktflächen 8 anschließen, die im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel an dem einen Randbereich des Basissteges 7 angeordnet sind, wohingegen der andere Randbereich des Basissteges 7 mit einer Abflachung 9 versehen ist. Die Kontaktflächen 8 des Bodenprofils 5 sind geradlinig und parallel zueinander ausgebildet und weisen auf den einander zugewandten Seiten als haftungsverbessernde Oberfläche eine wellenförmige Riffelung 10 auf.The bottom profile 5 is composed of a horizontally extending in the free space 4 horizontally extending base web 7, to which connect at an angle to the floor covering approximately horizontally aligned contact surfaces 8, which are arranged in the illustrated embodiment at the one edge region of the base web 7, whereas the other edge region of the base web 7 is provided with a flattening 9. The contact surfaces 8 of the bottom profile 5 are rectilinear and parallel to each other and have a wavy corrugation 10 on the sides facing each other as an adhesion-improving surface.

Das Abdeckprofil 6 besteht aus einem leicht gekrümmten Abdeckelement 11 sowie einem daran angeordneten, aus zwei gewölbten, im Durchmesser dem Abstand der parallelen Kontaktflächen 8 angepassten Kontaktbereichen 12, die ebenfalls eine wellenförmige Riffelung 10 aufweisen. Oberseitig ist das Abdeckelement 11 ebenfalls mit einer Riffelung 13 zur Verbesserung der Trittfestigkeit versehen.The cover 6 consists of a slightly curved cover 11 and arranged thereon, of two curved, in the diameter of the distance of the parallel contact surfaces 8 adapted contact areas 12, which also have a corrugated corrugation 10. On the upper side, the cover 11 is also provided with a corrugation 13 to improve the tread resistance.

Wie in den Figuren 2 und 3 dargestellt, kann das Abdeckprofil 6 zur Überbrückung verschiedener Höhen der Bodenbeläge 2, 3 in unterschiedlich stark geneigter Position eingesetzt werden.As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the cover 6 can be used to bridge different heights of the floor coverings 2, 3 in different degrees inclined position.

Auch kann, wie in Figur 4 dargestellt, der Aufbau von Abdeckprofil 6 und Bodenprofil 5 genau umgekehrt sein, so dass die gewölbten Kontaktbereiche 12 an dem Bodenprofil 5 und die geradlinig und parallel angeordneten Kontaktflächen 8 an dem Abdeckprofil 6 angeordnet sind.Also, as shown in Figure 4, the structure of cover 6 and 6 soil profile exactly the opposite, so the curved contact regions 12 are arranged on the bottom profile 5 and the rectilinear and parallel contact surfaces 8 on the cover profile 6.

Figur 5 zeigt ein Bodenprofil 5 in vergrößerter Darstellung. Wie daraus zu ersehen ist, sind die Kontaktflächen leicht federnd ausgebildet und der Basissteg 7 weist unterseitig als haftungsverbessernde Oberfläche eine Riffelung 14 auf. Die geraden und parallel ausgerichteten Kontaktflächen 8 weisen eine im Winkel von ca. 45° zur Vertikalen ausgerichtete Schräge 15 als Einführhilfe auf und die beim Erstellen der Verbindung der beiden Verbindungselemente dem anderen Verbindungselement zugewandten Flanken der wellenförmigen Riffelung 10 haben einen Winkel von ca. 45° oder weniger zur generellen Erstreckung der Kontaktflächen 8. Die beim Erstellen der Verbindung dem anderen Verbindungselement abgewandten Flanken der Riffelung 10 sind im Wesentlichen steil angestellt und weisen einen Winkel deutlich größer als 45° zur generellen Erstreckung der Kontaktflächen 8 auf.Figure 5 shows a bottom profile 5 in an enlarged view. As can be seen from this, the contact surfaces are slightly resilient and the base web 7 has a corrugation 14 on the underside as an adhesion-improving surface. The straight and parallel aligned contact surfaces 8 have an angle of about 45 ° to the vertical oriented bevel 15 as an insertion aid and when creating the connection of the two connecting elements to the other connecting element facing flanks of the corrugated corrugations 10 have an angle of about 45 ° or less to the general extent of the contact surfaces 8. The flanks of the corrugation 10 facing away from the other connecting element when establishing the connection are made substantially steep and have an angle significantly greater than 45 ° to the general extension of the contact surfaces 8.

Eine der beiden Kontaktflächen 8 ist bei dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel kürzer ausgebildet, so dass ein Verkippen in allen Richtungen besonders weit möglich ist. Hierbei kann das Bodenprofil 5 je nach Erfordernis unterschiedlich ausgerichtet in dem Freiraum 4 angeordnet werden, so dass ein genügend großer Freiraum beim Verkippen in die gewünschte Richtung gegeben ist.One of the two contact surfaces 8 is formed shorter in the illustrated embodiment, so that tilting in all directions is particularly possible. Here, the bottom profile 5 can be arranged differently depending on the requirements in the free space 4, so that a sufficiently large space is given when tilting in the desired direction.

Figur 6 zeigt die gewölbten Kontaktbereiche 12, die ebenfalls leicht federnd ausgebildet sind. Die beim Erstellen der Verbindung der beiden Verbindungselemente dem anderen Verbindungselement zugewandten Flanken der wellenförmigen Riffelung weisen einen Winkel von ca. 30° zum Radius der Wellenmitte auf und die dem anderen Verbindungselement abgewandten Flanken haben einen Winkel kleiner als 30° zum Radius der Wellenmitte.Figure 6 shows the curved contact portions 12, which are also slightly resilient. The edges of the corrugated corrugation which face the other connecting element when the two connecting elements are made have an angle of approximately 30 ° to the radius of the corrugations Shaft center on and the other connecting elements facing away from the edges have an angle less than 30 ° to the radius of the shaft center.

Die Kontaktbereiche 12 sind hierbei als durchgehendes Dreiviertelkreisring-Segment ausgebildet.The contact regions 12 are in this case formed as a continuous three-quarter circle segment.
