Definitions

  • 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.
  • a coating eg rubber, a rough material or the like
  • a structure e.g. have a corrugation or the like.
  • profile rail systems are known in which the soil profile by screwing and / or gluing is attached to the ground.
  • 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.
  • a profile system is known for example from DE 299 16 138 U1.
  • 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.
  • a fitting of the profile system can be carried out on different levels of floor coverings, without design changes to the profiles are required.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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
  • a connecting element with two spaced-apart, at least partially aligned at an angle to the floor covering
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the contact surfaces of at least one connecting element may be at least slightly resilient, so that the assembly is facilitated once again.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • a coating e.g. made of rubber, a rough material or the like
  • a structure e.g. have a corrugation or the like.
  • the profiled rail system 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the cover 11 On the upper side, the cover 11 is also provided with a corrugation 13 to improve the tread resistance.
  • the cover 6 can be used to bridge different heights of the floor coverings 2, 3 in different degrees inclined position.
  • 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.
  • Figure 5 shows a bottom profile 5 in an enlarged view.
  • 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.
  • One of the two contact surfaces 8 is formed shorter in the illustrated embodiment, so that tilting in all directions is particularly possible.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the contact regions 12 are in this case formed as a continuous three-quarter circle segment.
