The base rail can be mounted on the base with a pretension. The rail can have a central projection retained in a hole in the base by a sprung profile.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Fahrtreppe oder einen Fahrsteig, gemäß dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1.The invention relates to an escalator or moving walk, according to the preamble of claim 1.

Eine solche Fahrtreppe oder ein solcher Fahrsteig ist z.B. aus CA-A-2208655 bekannt.Such an escalator or such a moving walk is e.g. from CA-A-2208655.

Herstellungsbedingt muss zwischen dem Stufen- oder Palettenband einer Fahrtreppe oder eines Fahrsteigs und dem diese begrenzenden Balustradensockel ein Randspalt vorhanden sein, der regelmäßig mehrere Millimeter beträgt. Ein derartiger Randspalt erhöht die Gefahr von Unfällen, beispielsweise durch dort eingeklemmte Gegenstände. Auch ist es nicht ausgeschlossen, dass ein Fahrgast etwa mit einem Gummistiefel den Balustradensockel berührt, wobei dann die Gefahr besteht, dass Teile des Gummistiefels durch die Aufwärtsbewegung des Stufenbands in den Randspalt gezogen werden.Due to the manufacturing needs must be between the step or pallet band an escalator or a moving walk and the limiting this Balustrade base a marginal gap be present, the regularly amounts to several millimeters. Such an edge gap increases the risk of accidents, for example by there trapped objects. It is also not excluded that a passenger about with a rubber boots the balustrade base touched, then there is a risk that Parts of the rubber boot by the upward movement of the step band be pulled into the edge gap.

Um diese Gefahr zu reduzieren, ist es bekannt geworden und in bestimmten Ländern auch vorgeschrieben, die Randseiten von Fahrtreppenstufen farblich zu markieren. Eine derartige Markierung kann aber Unfälle nicht mit der erforderlichen Sicherheit aussschließen, zumal sie eine entsprechende Aufmerksamkeit des Fahrgasts voraussetzt.To reduce this risk, it has become known and in certain countries also prescribed the margins of Mark escalator steps in color. Such a mark But accidents can not be guaranteed exclude them, especially as they pay adequate attention of the passenger.

Ferner sind verschiedene Systeme bekannt geworden, den Randspalt in seiner Breite möglichst gering zu halten. Die Position des Balustradensockels ist regelmäßig einstellbar. Nachdem die Fahrtreppenstufen, die an Antriebsketten geführt sind, ein gewisses Spiel aufweisen, ist eine Reduzierung des Randspalts auf Null ohne ein Schleifen des Balustradensockels allerdings nicht möglich.Furthermore, various systems have become known, the marginal gap to keep as small as possible in its width. The position The balustrade base is regularly adjustable. After this the escalator steps, which are led to drive chains, have a certain amount of play, is a reduction of the marginal gap to zero without a sanding of the balustrade pedestal but not possible.

Um die Unfallgefahr insofern zu reduzieren, ist es bekannt geworden, die Stufe mit elastischen Ablenkelementen auszustatten, die an dem Balustradensockel schleifen sollen und eine Abweisfunktion aufrecht erhalten sollen. Diese aus der EP-A1-243 689 bekannte Lösung ist allerdings wenig dauerhaft. Zum einen verschleißt die Kunststofflippe recht schnell an dem Balustradensockel, zumal die Reibung dort auch Wärme induziert. Ferner ist diese Lösung ausgesprochen beschädigungsempfindlich, beispielsweise gegenüber Schirmspitzen, so dass nicht verwunderlich ist, dass sich diese Lösung nicht durchgesetzt hat.In order to reduce the risk of accidents in this respect, it has become known to equip the stage with elastic deflectors, which should grind on the balustrade base and one To maintain rejection function. These from EP-A1-243 However, 689 known solution is not very durable. To the one wears the plastic lip very quickly at the Balustrade base, especially since the friction there also induces heat. Furthermore, this solution is extremely sensitive to damage, for example, against canopies, so that It is not surprising that this solution did not prevail Has.

Ferner ist es aus der US-PS 4 889 222 bekannt geworden, die Balustradenleiste oben mit einem Verbindungselement abzuschließen, das gegenüber der Balustradenleiste etwas vorragt.Furthermore, it has become known from US-PS 4,889,222, the Balustrade bar top complete with a fastener, which protrudes slightly from the balustrade strip.

Hierdurch wird eine gewisse Abweisfunktion sicher gestellt, wobei der Überlappungsgrad gegenüber dem Spalt bei dieser Lösung nicht besonders groß ist.This ensures a certain rejection function, wherein the degree of overlap with respect to the gap in this Solution is not very big.

Ferner ist es bereits vorgeschlagen worden, eine Sockelleiste knapp oberhalb des Stufen- oder Palettenbands an dem Balustradensockel anzuschrauben, um die Abweisfunktion sicher zu stellen. Bei Fahrtreppen besteht allerdings das Problem, dass im rückwärtigen Bereich jeder Stufe die entsprechende Sockelleiste recht stark beabstandet ist. Wenn der Abstand zwischen Sockelleiste und Stufenoberfläche zu gering ist, besteht auch hier die Gefahr des Einklemmens, insbesondere, wenn die Sockelleiste aus Kunststoff besteht. Andererseits stellt eine herausgerissene und damit lose Sockelleiste eine erhebliche Beeinträchtigung der Fahrtreppensicherheit dar.Furthermore, it has already been proposed a skirting board just above the step or pallet band on the balustrade base to screw in order to ensure the rejection function. With escalators, however, there is the problem that in rearward area of each step the corresponding skirting board is quite well spaced. If the distance between Skirting and step surface is too low, there is also here the danger of pinching, especially if the Skirting made of plastic. On the other hand, a torn and therefore loose skirting a considerable Impairment of the escalator safety.

Daher liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Fahrtreppe oder einen Fahrsteig gemäß dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1 zu schaffen, der eine verringerte Unfallgefahr aufweist, aber dennoch günstigere Herstellkosten erlaubt.Therefore, the invention has the object, an escalator or a moving walkway according to the preamble of claim 1 to create, which has a reduced risk of accidents, but Nevertheless, cheaper production costs allowed.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch Anspruch 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen. This object is achieved by claim 1. Advantageous developments emerge from the subclaims.

Mit der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung der Sockelleiste, die auf den Balustradensockel angebracht ist, läßt sich aufgrund des dort möglichen deutlichen Vorspringens zunächst erreichen, dass der Schuh oder auch die Schirmspitze des Fahrgasts deutlich beabstandet vom Randspalt verbleibt. Dies gilt aufgrund des Vorsprungmaßes von beispielsweise 5 cm auch für die rückwärtige Ecke einer Fahrtreppenstufe.With the solution according to the invention of the skirting board, on the Balustrade base is attached, can be due to the there possible clear projection first of all that the Shoe or the umbrella peak of the passenger clearly spaced remains from the edge gap. This is due to the Vorsprungmaßes For example, 5 cm for the rear Corner of an escalator step.

Erfindungsgemäß ist es insbesondere sicher gestellt, dass nicht durch Gewaltanwendung die Sockelleiste sich von dem Balustradensockel löst und eine Sicherheitsgefahr darstellt. Je größer das Vorsprungmaß ist, desto größer sind die auf die Befestigung wirkenden Hebelkräfte. Erfindungsgemäß ist es besonders günstig, wenn hier eine selbsthaltende Schnappverbindung eingesetzt wird, deren Einschnappen am Balustradenblech oder dem Balustradensockel zugleich auch einen Leistenkörper umklammert, der sich über einen deutlichen Teil der Höhe der Sockelleiste erstrecken kann. Damit ist ein Abhebeln auch bei Gewaltanwendung praktisch nicht möglich.According to the invention, it is particularly ensured that not by use of force the skirting of the balustrade pedestal solves and represents a safety hazard. ever the larger the projection size, the larger the fastening acting leverage. It is particular according to the invention favorable, if here a self-holding snap connection is used, their snapping on balustrade sheet or the balustrade base at the same time also a strip body clutching over a significant portion of the amount of Skirting board can extend. This is also a levering Violent use practically impossible.

Erfindungsgemäß ist es günstig, wenn die Weichheit der Sockelleiste nach vorne abnimmt. Beispielsweise kann die Sockelleiste in ihrem vorderen Bereich mit einem Bürstenband ausgestattet sein, das eine Abweisfunktion sicher stellt, ohne einen Hebelangriff zu bieten. Das Bürstenband läuft beispielsweise etwa auf Knöchelhöhe, so dass ein Fahrgast bei Berührung des Bürstenbands den Fuß unwillkürlich zurückzieht.According to the invention it is advantageous if the softness of the skirting decreases to the front. For example, the skirting board equipped in its front area with a brush belt which ensures a rejection function without one Leverage attack to offer. For example, the brush belt runs about at the ankle, allowing a passenger to touch the Brush bands involuntarily withdraws the foot.

In einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung ist das Bürstenband in einer Längsausnehmung der Sockelleiste fest eingebaut. Ein Auswechseln ist durch Ausziehen in Längsrichtung dennoch möglich, wobei es sich versteht, dass die Enden der Sockelleiste im Betrieb entsprechend verschlossen und gesichert sind.In an advantageous embodiment, the brush belt is in a longitudinal recess of the baseboard permanently installed. One Replacement is possible by pulling it in the longitudinal direction, it being understood that the ends of the baseboard are properly closed and secured during operation.

In einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung weist das Bürstenband beim Beginn und beim Ende der Fahrtreppe, also im Einstiegs- und im Ausstiegsbereich einen Bürstenanschnitt auf, so dass das Vorsprungmaß der Sockelleiste zum Stufen- oder Palettenband hin allmählich zunimmt.In a further advantageous embodiment, the brush belt at the beginning and at the end of the escalator, ie in the Entry and in the exit area a brush cut on so that the projection size of the baseboard to the step or Pallet strip gradually increases.

Die Herstellung einer erfindungsgemäßen Fahrtreppe oder eines erfindungsgemäßen Fahrsteigs ist durch Verwendung der erfindungsgemäßen Schnappverbindung zudem erheblich erleichtert. Die in vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung vorgesehenen Federspangen werden in geeignetem Abstand.von beispielsweise 35 cm in vorbereitete Ausnehmungen des Balustradensockels eingeklipst, und die Sockelleiste wird durch Einschnappen arretiert. Hierdurch drückt die Federspange je mit ihren Außenschenkeln auf den Leistenkörper, so dass der Leistenkörper automatisch auszugssicher gehalten ist. Die Federvorspannung und das Vorsprungmaß sind so gewählt, dass ein Ausziehen der Sockelleiste nicht möglich ist; auch eine seitliche Kraftaufbringung, beispielsweise von oben mit mehreren 100 Newton, lässt sich so zerstörungsfrei abfangen.The production of an escalator according to the invention or a moving walk according to the invention is by using the invention Snap connection also greatly facilitated. The spring clips provided in an advantageous embodiment be prepared in a suitable Abstand.von example 35 cm in Recesses of the balustrade socket clipped, and The skirting board is locked by snapping. hereby push the spring clip ever with their outer thighs on the Inguinal body, so that the inguinal body automatically secure is held. The spring preload and the protrusion dimension are chosen so that pulling out the skirting board is not is possible; also a lateral force application, for example from above with several 100 Newton, can be so non-destructive intercept.

Überraschend lässt sich dementsprechend erfindungsgemäß eine vandalenresistente Sockelleiste realisieren, wobei erfindungsgemäß besonders günstig die Sockelleiste oben und unten Schrägseiten aufweist und sich nach oben und unten so breit wie möglich an dem Balustradensockel abstützen kann.Accordingly, it is surprisingly possible according to the invention Realize vandal-resistant skirting, according to the invention particularly favorable the skirting top and bottom Has sloping sides and so wide up and down as possible supported on the balustrade base.

In einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung ist es vorgesehen, dass die Vorderfläche der Sockelleiste schräg nach unten weist, so dass dort ggf. angebrachte Bürstenbänder ebenfalls eine Ausrichtung etwas schräg nach unten erfahren.In a further advantageous embodiment, it is provided that the front surface of the baseboard is sloping down has, so where appropriate attached brush belts also get an orientation slightly downwards.

Weitere Vorteile, Einzelheiten und Merkmale ergeben sich aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung mehrerer Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung anhand der Zeichnung.Further advantages, details and features emerge the following description of several embodiments the invention with reference to the drawing.

Die in Fig. 1 dargestellte Fahrtreppe 10 weist eine Balustrade 12 mit einem Balustradensockel 14 auf, der ein Stufenband 16 über einen Randspalt 18 seitlich begrenzt. Der Balustradensockel 14 ist in der dargestellten Ausführungsform mit einer Beleuchtungsausnehmung 20 versehen.The escalator 10 shown in Fig. 1 has a balustrade 12 with a balustrade base 14, which is a step band 16th laterally bounded by an edge gap 18. The balustrade pedestal 14 is in the illustrated embodiment with a Illumination recess 20 provided.

Unterhalb der Beleuchtungsausnehmung 20 und unmittelbar an diese anschließend erstreckt sich eine erfindungsgemäße Sockelleiste 22. Die Sockelleiste 22 ist deutlich oberhalb einer Oberfläche 24 des Stufenbands 16 angebracht.Below the illumination recess 20 and immediately on this then extends an inventive Skirting board 22. The skirting board 22 is clearly above a surface 24 of the step band 16 is attached.

Erfindungsgemäß ragt die Sockelleiste 12 deutlich mehr vor als die lichte Weite zwischen der Oberfläche 24 und der Sockelleiste 22 beträgt. Dies gilt für die Ausführungsformen, bei welchen die Sockelleiste 22 mit einem Bürstenband 26 versehen ist. In dem ersten Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Fig. 1 sind zwei Bürstenbänder übereinander vorgesehen, die an ihrer Vorderfläche 30 eine gemeinsame Bürstenfläche bilden.According to the invention, the skirting board 12 protrudes significantly more than the clear width between the surface 24 and the skirting board 22 is. This applies to the embodiments at which the skirting board 22 provided with a brush belt 26 is. In the first embodiment of FIG. 1 are two Brush strips provided one above the other, on their front surface 30 form a common brush surface.

Die Sockelleiste 22 ist in besonderer Weise an dem Balustradensockel 14 befestigt. Der Balustradensockel 14 weist voneinander beabstandete Ausnehmungen auf, wobei eine Ausnehmung 32 aus Fig. 1 ersichtlich ist. Bevorzugt sind im Bogenbereich der Fahrtreppe mehr Ausnehmungen pro Längeneinheit vorgesehen, beispielsweise alle 25 cm, während im geraden Bereich der Fahrtreppe eine geringere Dichte von Befestigungselementen erforderlich ist, so dass entsprechende Ausnehmungen auch lediglich etwa alle 35 cm möglich sind. Die Ausnehmungen sind in den Balustradensockel 14 rechteckig gestanzt. Die Verbindung zwischen dem Balustradensockel 14 und der Sockelleiste 22 ist über eine Schnappverbindung 34 hergestellt. In dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel weist die Schnappverbindung 34 eine Federspange 36 auf, die sich über einen Leistenkörper 38 der Sockelleiste 22 erstreckt und in die Ausnehmung 32 einschnappbar ist.The baseboard 22 is in a special way on the balustrade base 14 attached. The balustrade pedestal 14 faces each other spaced recesses, wherein a recess 32nd from Fig. 1 can be seen. Are preferred in the bow area of Escalator more recesses per unit length provided for example, every 25 cm, while in the straight area of the Escalator required a lower density of fasteners is, so that corresponding recesses also only about every 35 cm are possible. The recesses are in punched the balustrade pedestal 14 rectangular. The connection between the balustrade base 14 and the skirting board 22 made via a snap connection 34. In the illustrated Embodiment, the snap connection 34 a Spring clip 36, which extends over a strip body 38 of the Skirting board 22 extends and can be snapped into the recess 32 is.

Der Leistenkörper 38 weist beidseitig Vorsprünge 40 auf, die als Hinterschneidung für die Federspange 36 wirken und von dieser übergriffen werden. Die Federspange 36 weist eine Federspitze 42 auf, an welcher sie konvergiert, so dass ihre Einführung in die Ausnehmung erleichtert ist. An dieser Stelle kann die Breite der Federspange 36, also die Breite der Federspange senkrecht zur Zeichnungsebene gemäß Fig. 1 betrachtet, etwas reduziert sein, so dass die Federspange 36 sich beim Zusammenbiegen dort am leichtesten verformt.The strip body 38 has on both sides projections 40 which act as an undercut for the spring clip 36 and of this will be overruled. The spring clip 36 has a spring tip 42 on which it converges, so that their Introduction to the recess is facilitated. At this point can the width of the spring clip 36, so the width of the spring clip considered perpendicular to the plane of the drawing of FIG. 1, be slightly reduced, so that the spring clip 36 when bending together the most easily deformed there.

Zum Einführen in die Ausnehmung 32 wird die Federspange 36 mit ihrer Spitze dort eingeführt. Nachdem ihre Breite an Rastvorsprüngen 46 deutlich größer als die lichte Weite der Ausnehmung ist, wird sie elastisch verformt und schnappt ein, sobald sie mit ihrem Hals 48 in den Bereich der Ausnehmung 32 gelangt. Der Hals 48 wird durch zurückspringende Bereiche gebildet. Er ist zusätzlich über Zentriervorspünge 50 des Leistenkörpers 38 von innen abgestützt, und die Federspange 36 ist so gebogen, dass sie sich auch mit Stützvorsprüngen 52 von außen auf den Balustradensockel 14 abstützt. Diese Art der Befestigung lässt sich aus Fig. 4 recht gut ersehen. Beim Aufbringen der Sockelleiste 22 gleitet die Federspange 36 zunächst mit ihren abgekröpften Enden 44 (vgl. Fig. 4) auf Schrägflächen 46 der Sockelleiste 22, bis sie hinter den Vorsprüngen 40, die Hinterschneidungen bilden, einschnappt. In dieser Situation steht die Federspange 36 unter starker Vorspannung, und die Sockelleiste wird sicher und vandalenresistent gehalten.For insertion into the recess 32, the spring clip 36 with their tip introduced there. After their width at latching projections 46 significantly larger than the clear width of the recess is elastically deformed and snaps in as soon as she comes with her neck 48 in the region of the recess 32. The neck 48 is formed by recessed areas. He is also about centering tabs 50 of the strip body 38 supported from the inside, and the spring clip 36 is so bent, that they are also with supporting projections 52 from the outside supported on the balustrade base 14. This type of attachment can be seen quite well from Fig. 4. When applying the baseboard 22 slides the spring clip 36 initially with their bent ends 44 (see Fig. 4) on inclined surfaces 46th the skirting board 22 until behind the projections 40, the Undercuts form, snaps. In this situation the spring clip 36 is under strong bias, and the Skirting is kept safe and vandal resistant.

Die insofern gleiche Art der Befestigung und der Federspange ist bei den Ausführungsformen gemäß Fig. 1, 2 und 4 vorgesehen. In allen Fällen weist die Sockelleiste 22 oberhalb und unterhalb des Leistenkörpers 38 je Außenschenkel 56 und 58 auf, die sich schräg nach oben bzw. unten zum Balustradensockel 14 hin erstrecken. Die Sockelleiste 22 erhält eine im wesentlichen trapezförmige Ausgestaltung, wobei ihre Stirnfläche 60 bevorzugt etwas nach schräg unten geneigt ist. Durch die doppelte Vorspannung wird der Sockelkörper 38 geradezu durch die Federspange festgeklemmt und ist auszugssicher gehalten.The same way of fastening and the spring clip is provided in the embodiments of FIGS. 1, 2 and 4. In all cases, the skirting board 22 above and below the strip body 38 per outer leg 56 and 58th on, sloping up or down to the balustrade base 14 extend. The baseboard 22 receives an im significant trapezoidal configuration, with its end face 60 preferably is inclined slightly obliquely downwards. By the double bias, the socket body 38 is almost clamped by the spring clip and is sure about held.

Die Ausführungsform gemäß Fig. 2 entspricht im wesentlichen der Ausführungsform gemäß Fig. 1. Diese Ausführungsform ist jedoch für unbeleuchtete Balustradensockel bestimmt.The embodiment of FIG. 2 corresponds essentially the embodiment of FIG. 1. This embodiment is however intended for unlit balustrade pedestals.

Die Ausführungsform gemäß Fig. 3 zeigt eine modifizierte Gestaltung der Sockelleiste 22 und der Federspange 36. Auch hier ist eine Federspitze 42 vorgesehen, die in eine Ausnehmung 32 des Balustradensockels 14 einführbar ist, wobei der Hals 48 von Zentriervorsprüngen 50 des Leistensockels 38 abgestützt und geführt ist. Bei dieser Lösung weisen die Vorsprünge 40 der Sockelleiste 22 nach innen, und dementsprechend sind die Enden 44 der Federspange 36 nach außen abgekröpft. Die zusätzliche Spannung wird hier durch die nach außen wirkenden Zentriervorsprünge 50 erzeugt, wobei bei dieser Ausführungsform besonders günstig ist, dass die Abstützung der Federspange 36 dem unteren und oberen Ende der Sockelleiste benachbart erfolgt.The embodiment according to FIG. 3 shows a modified design the baseboard 22 and the spring clip 36. Again a spring tip 42 is provided, which in a recess 32nd the balustrade pedestal 14 is insertable, the neck 48 supported by centering projections 50 of the bar base 38 and is guided. In this solution, the projections 40 the baseboard 22 inward, and accordingly, the Ends 44 of the spring clip 36 bent outward. The additional Tension is here by the outwardly acting centering 50, wherein in this embodiment is particularly favorable that the support of the spring clip 36th adjacent to the lower and upper end of the baseboard.

Auch wenn die erfindungsgemäße Sockelleiste bevorzugt aus Kunststoff, insbesondere aus einem recht hart eingestellten Elastomer, ausgebildet ist, versteht es sich, dass anstelle dessen auch ein Leichtmetall-Strangpressprofil einsetzbar ist, dessen Wandstärke auch gegenüber der Darstellung in den Figuren vermindert sein kann.Even if the baseboard according to the invention preferably made Plastic, especially from a fairly hard set Elastomer is formed, it is understood that instead whose also a light metal extruded profile can be used, its wall thickness also compared to the representation in the figures can be reduced.

In dem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Fig. 3 lagert der Sockelkörper 38 über Längsausnehmungen 60 Bürstenbänder, die je von Bürstenleisten 62 gehalten sind.In the embodiment according to FIG. 3, the base body rests 38 on longitudinal recesses 60 brush bands, each of Brush strips 62 are held.

Bei dieser Lösung ist ein Auszug der Bürstenleisten nach vorne nicht möglich, nachdem über entsprechende einwärts geneigte Vorsprünge 64 dies verhindert wird. Durch Ausziehen in Längsrichtung lässt sich bei Bedarf dennoch jede Bürstenleiste 62 austauschen.In this solution is an extract of the brush strips forward not possible after having inward inclined Protrusions 64 this is prevented. By extending in the longitudinal direction If necessary, each brush strip 62 can still be used change.

Während bei den hier dargestellten Figuren zwei Bürstenleisten übereinander dargestellt sind, versteht es sich, dass anstelle dessen auch lediglich eine Bürstenleiste eingesetzt werden kann.While in the figures shown here two brush strips one above the other, it is understood that instead of which also only a brush strip are used can.

Die Figuren 4 und 6 zeigen weitere Ausführungsformen erfindungsgemäßer Sockelleisten 22. Bei diesen Ausführungsformen sind je keine Bürstenleisten vorgesehen. Die Ausführungsform gemäß Fig. 6 weist an ihrer Vorderseite ein Hohlprofil 68 auf, das formbedingt recht weich elastisch und daher in der gewünschten Weise verformbar ist. Figures 4 and 6 show further embodiments according to the invention Skirting boards 22. In these embodiments No brush strips are ever provided. The embodiment according to FIG. 6 has a hollow profile 68 on its front side, the shape is very soft elastic and therefore in the desired Way is deformable.

Es versteht sich, dass die genaue Form der Sockelleiste in weiten Bereichen an die Erfordernisse anpassbar ist. Bevorzugt ist jedenfalls eine Ausgestaltung, bei welcher die form- oder materialbedingte Festigkeit der Sockelleiste 22 zum Balustradensockel 14 hin zunimmt.It is understood that the exact shape of the baseboard in wide areas is adaptable to the requirements. Prefers is in any case an embodiment in which the form or Material-related strength of skirting 22 to Balustradensockel 14 increases.
