Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Vorrichtung zum festen Verbinden eines Zwischenstückes mit einem stabartigen Teil eines Geländers, bestehend aus einem an dem stabartigen Teil des Geländers mittels einer Schraube befestigbaren Anschlußstück.The invention relates to a device for firmly connecting an intermediate piece with a rod-like part of a railing, consisting of a fastened to the rod-like part of the railing by means of a screw fitting.

Aus der DE-Gebrauchsmusterschrift 299 11 901 ist ein Geländer für Treppen, Brüstungen oder dergleichen bekannt, welches aus mehreren mit Abstand voneinander angeordneten, senkrechten Geländerstäben besteht. Die Geländerstäbe sind unten an Treppenstufen oder einer Brüstung befestigt und tragen oben einen Handlauf. Der freie Raum zwischen den Geländerstäben, dem Handlauf und den Treppenstufen bzw. der Brüstung ist durch stabartige Zwischenstücke geschlossen, die an den Geländerstäben angeschlossen bzw. befestigt sind. Für die Befestigung der stabartigen Zwischenstücke an den Geländerstäben werden besondere Anschlußstücke verwendet, die einerseits eine Bohrung für die steckbare Aufnahme der Zwischenstücke besitzen, in der die Zwischenstücke dann mittels einer Stiftschraube festgeklemmt werden. Andererseits sind die Anschlußstücke mittels Stiftschrauben auf den zylindrischen Köpfen von Schrauben festgeklemmt, die ihrerseits in Muttern eingedreht werden, die sich im Inneren der Geländerstäbe befinden. Die Geländerstäbe sind in ihrer Längsrichtung mit einem Schlitz versehen, der eine Höheneinstellung der Anschlußstücke ermöglicht. Über ein solches Anschlußstück, welches steckbar und festklemmbar mit einem weiteren Anschlußstück verbindbar ist, können auch zwei stabartige Zwischenstücke miteinander verbunden werden. Derartige Anschlußstücke erfordern nicht nur zu ihrer Herstellung, sondern auch bei ihrer Montage einen verhältnismäßig hohen Aufwand. Für den Anschluß von langgestreckten Zwischenstücken, die aus einem Seil bestehen, sind die vorbekannten Anschlußstücke ungeeignet.From the DE utility model 299 11 901 a railing for stairs, parapets or the like is known, which consists of a plurality of spaced apart, vertical balusters rods. The balusters are attached to the bottom of steps or parapets and carry a handrail at the top. The free space between the balusters, the handrail and the steps or the balustrade is closed by rod-like intermediate pieces, which are connected or attached to the balusters. For the attachment of the rod-like intermediate pieces to the balusters special fittings are used, on the one hand have a hole for the plug-in recording of the spacers, in which the spacers are then clamped by means of a stud. On the other hand, the connecting pieces are clamped by means of stud bolts on the cylindrical heads of screws, which in turn are screwed into nuts, which are located inside the balusters rods. The railing rods are provided in their longitudinal direction with a slot that allows height adjustment of the fittings. About such a connector, which is pluggable and clamped with another connector connectable, two rod-like intermediate pieces can be connected together. Such fittings require not only for their production, but also during their installation a relatively high cost. For the connection of elongated spacers, which consist of a rope, the previously known fittings are unsuitable.

Der Erfindung liegt deshalb die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung zum festen Verbinden eines Zwischenstückes mit einem stabartigen Teil eines Geländers zu schaffen, die einerseits ohne großen Aufwand herstellbar ist und die andererseits eine rasche Montage ermöglicht. Dabei soll jedoch eine absolut feste Verbindung erreicht werden, die auch einen Anschluß der Zwischenstücke an dem stabartigen nicht nur zu Ihrer Herstellung, sondern auch bei Ihrer Montage einen verhältnismäßig hohen Aufwand. Für den Anschluß von langgestreckten Zwischenstücken, die aus einem Seil bestehen, sind die vorbekannten Anschlußstücke ungeeignet.The invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide a device for firmly connecting an intermediate piece with a rod-like part of a railing, which on the one hand can be produced without much effort and on the other hand allows for rapid assembly. In this case, however, an absolutely firm connection is to be achieved, which is also a connection of the intermediate pieces on the rod-like not only for your production, but also for your installation a relatively high effort. For the connection of elongated spacers, which consist of a rope, the previously known fittings are unsuitable.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe wird gemäß der Erfindung bei einer Vorrichtung der eingangs beschriebenen Gattung vorgeschlagen, daß das Anschlußstück mit einer Aussparung für eine klemmende Aufnahme des Zwischenstückes versehen ist, die als Nut ausgebildet ist.To solve this problem is proposed according to the invention in a device of the type described above, that the connecting piece is provided with a recess for a clamping receiving the intermediate piece, which is formed as a groove.

Eine derartige Vorrichtung ist äußerst einfach ausgebildet und kann demzufolge auch preiswert hergestellt werden. Trotz dieser preiswerten Herstellung besitzt sie ein gutes Design, was auch auf eine geringe Bauhöhe zurückzuführen ist. Darüber hinaus ist die Vorrichtung in verhältnismäßig kurzer Zeit montierbar und stellt dennoch eine absolut feste Verbindung sicher. Ferner können mit einer solchen Vorrichtung sowohl langgestreckte als auch flächige Zwischenstücke an stabartigen Geländerteilen befestigt werden.Such a device is extremely simple and can therefore be produced inexpensively. Despite this inexpensive production, it has a good design, which is also due to a low height. In addition, the device can be mounted in a relatively short time and yet ensures an absolutely solid connection. Furthermore, with such a device, both elongate and planar spacers can be attached to rod-like railing parts.

Weitere Merkmale einer Vorrichtung gemäß der Erfindung sind in den Ansprüchen 2 bis 4 offenbart.Further features of a device according to the invention are disclosed in claims 2 to 4.

In der Fig. 1 der Zeichnung sind von einer Treppe, die von einen nicht dargestellten Boden nach oben führt, nur zwei Stufen 1 angedeutet. An jeder dieser Stufen 1 ist im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel jeweils ein senkrecht nach oben ragender Geländerstab 2 befestigt, die an ihrem oberen Ende einen gemeinsamen Handlauf 3 tragen. Die Geländerstäbe 2 und der Handlauf 3 sind im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel aus metallischen Profilstäben, beispielsweise aus Aluminium, gebildet, die, wie die Fig. 2 erkennen läßt, einen im wesentlichen kreisförmigen Querschnitt aufweisen. Die die Geländerstäbe 2 bildenden Profilstäbe sind mit einer in axialer Richtung verlaufenden Abflachung 4 versehen, in der sich ein in Längsrichtung verlaufender Spalt 5 befindet. Vorzugsweise sind die beiden inneren Flächen der den Spalt 5 begrenzenden Schenkel hinterschnitten ausgebildet, das heißt, die Dicke der Schenkel nimmt in Richtung auf den Spalt 5 zu.In Fig. 1 of the drawing are of a staircase that leads from a floor, not shown upwards, only two stages 1 indicated. At each of these stages 1, a vertically upstanding railing rod 2 is fixed in the illustrated embodiment, which carry a common handrail 3 at its upper end. The railing rods 2 and the handrail 3 are in the illustrated embodiment of metallic profile bars, for example made of aluminum, which, as shown in FIG. 2 reveals, have a substantially circular cross-section. The railing rods 2 forming profile bars are provided with a flattening 4 extending in the axial direction, in which there is a longitudinally extending gap 5. Preferably, the two inner surfaces of the gap 5 bounding legs are formed undercut, that is, the thickness of the legs increases in the direction of the gap 5 to.

Zur Befestigung eines Geländerstabes 2 auf einer Treppenstufe 1 nimmt derselbe ein nicht näher dargestelltes Formstück auf, welches den inneren Querschnitt jedes Geländerstabes 2 vollständig ausfüllt und sowohl mit einer horizontalen als auch mit einer vertikalen Bohrung versehen ist. Beide Bohrungen besitzen Gewinde, so daß einerseits das Formstück mit der Treppe 1 verschraubbar und andererseites mit dem Geländerstab 2 festklemmbar ist. Gleichzeitig wird damit eine Abdeckleiste 6 festgeklemmt, durch die der Spalt 5 nach außen verschließbar ist.For attachment of a baluster 2 on a step 1 of the same receives a non-illustrated fitting, which completely fills the inner cross section of each railing rod 2 and is provided with both a horizontal and a vertical bore. Both holes have threads, so that on the one hand the fitting with the staircase 1 screwed and the other hand can be clamped to the railing rod 2. At the same time so that a cover strip 6 is clamped, through which the gap 5 is closed to the outside.

Die Fig. 1 läßt erkennen, daß sich zwischen den Geländerstäben 2 und dem Handlauf 3 zwei langgestreckte Zwischenstücke 7 erstrecken, die mit Abstand parallel zum Handlauf 3 verlaufen. Zusätzlich sind zwei langgestreckte Zwischenstücke 8 vorgesehen, die parallel zu dem Geländerstäben 2 angeordnet sind. Die Zwischenstücke 7 und 8 sind bei den Fig. 1 bis 4 stabartig ausgebildet. Es ist jedoch auch möglich, die Zwischenstücke 8 durch Seile zu bilden. Die langgestreckten, stabartigen Zwischenstücke 7 müssen nun fest mit den Geländerstäben 2 verbunden sein. Dabei muß diese Verbindung so ausgestaltet sein, daß die Zwischenstücke 7 parallel zu dem Handlauf 3 verlaufen und somit eine geneigte Lage zu den Geländerstäben 2 einnehmen.Fig. 1 shows that between the railing rods 2 and the handrail 3 two elongated intermediate pieces 7 extend, which extend parallel to the handrail 3 at a distance. In addition, two elongate intermediate pieces 8 are provided, which are arranged parallel to the balusters 2. The intermediate pieces 7 and 8 are formed rod-like in Figs. However, it is also possible to form the intermediate pieces 8 by ropes. The elongated, rod-like intermediate pieces 7 must now be firmly connected to the balusters 2. In this case, this connection must be designed so that the spacers 7 extend parallel to the handrail 3 and thus take an inclined position to the balusters 2.

Für diese Verbindung ist jeweils ein Anschlußstück 9 vorgesehen, welches als Scheibe ausgebildet ist, vorzugsweise aus Edelstahl, Messing oder Aluminium besteht und die in den Fig. 1 bis 4 erkennbare Form aufweist. Das Anschlußstück 9 besitzt an seiner der Abdeckleiste 6 zugewandten Fläche eine als durchgehende Nut ausgebildete Aussparung 10, deren Querschnitt so ausgebildet bzw. gewählt ist, daß dieselbe ein stabartiges Zwischenstück 7 klemmend bzw. spielfrei aufnehmen und gegen die Abdeckleiste 6 festklemmen kann. Für diese klemmende Verbindung wird eine Schraube 11 verwendet, die in eine entsprechende Bohrung 12 des Anschlußstückes 9 einsteckbar und in ein Formstück 13 einschraubbar ist, welches sich im Inneren jedes Geländerstabes 2 befindet (Fig. 2). Durch eine Feder 14 kann erreicht werden, daß das Formstück 13 problemlos in den Geländerstab 2 einschiebbar ist und an der angestrebten Stelle gehalten wird. Nach dem Festdrehen der Schraube 11 nimmt das langgestreckte Zwischenstück 7 die angestrebte Lage am Geländerstab 2 sicher ein.For this connection, a connecting piece 9 is provided in each case, which is designed as a disc, preferably made of stainless steel, brass or aluminum and having the recognizable in Figs. 1 to 4 form. The connecting piece 9 has on its cover strip 6 facing surface formed as a continuous groove recess 10 whose cross-section is formed or selected so that the same record a rod-like spacer 7 clamping or play and can clamp against the cover strip 6. For this clamping connection, a screw 11 is used, which can be inserted into a corresponding bore 12 of the connecting piece 9 and screwed into a fitting 13, which is located inside each railing rod 2 (Fig. 2). By a spring 14 can be achieved that the fitting 13 is easily inserted into the railing rod 2 and is held at the desired location. After tightening the screw 11, the elongated intermediate piece 7 takes the desired position on the balustrade 2 safely.

Die Fig. 3 zeigt nun ein Anschlußstück 9 mit einem weiteren Anschlußstück 15, durch die jeweils zwei sich kreuzende, langgestreckte Zwischenstücke 7, 8 in einer weitgehend beliebigen Winkellage miteinander verbindbar sind. Dabei ist das in der Fig. 3 links gezeichnete Anschlußstück 9 einerseits mit einer nutartige Aussparung 10 und andererseits mit einer Bohrung 12 zur Aufnahme der Schraube 11 versehen.3 now shows a connecting piece 9 with a further connecting piece 15, through which two intersecting, elongate intermediate pieces 7, 8 can be connected to each other in a largely arbitrary angular position. In this case, the left in Fig. 3 drawn connecting piece 9 is provided on the one hand with a groove-like recess 10 and on the other hand with a bore 12 for receiving the screw 11.

Bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel der Fig. 4 sind ebenfalls zwei Anschlußstücke 9, 15 vorgesehen, durch die zwei langgestreckte Zwischenstücke 7, 8 miteinander verbunden sind. Das Zwischenstück 7 wird jedoch hier von einer Aussparung 10 aufgenommen, die als nach außen offene Nut ausgebildet ist. Dadurch ist es möglich, das stab- oder seilartige Zwischenstück 7 durch den Kopf 11 a der Schraube 11 in der Aussparung 10 festzuklemmen.In the embodiment of Fig. 4, two connecting pieces 9, 15 are also provided through which two elongated intermediate pieces 7, 8 are interconnected. However, the intermediate piece 7 is received here by a recess 10 which is formed as an outwardly open groove. This makes it possible to clamp the rod or rope-like intermediate piece 7 through the head 11 a of the screw 11 in the recess 10.

Das Ausführungsbeispiel der Fig. 5 enthält ein Anschlußstück 15, das eine Gewindebohrung 12a und eine nutartige Aussparung 10 für ein stab- oder seilartiges Zwischenstück 7 oder 8 enthält. Hier ist das Anschlußstück 15 über die Schraube 11 mit einem plattenartigen Teil 16 verbunden, welches aus Holz, Kunststoff, Glas oder Metall bestehen kann und normalerweise zwischen zwei Zwischenstücken 7 oder 8 eingesetzt ist. Dies bedeutet, dass auch bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel zwei Zwischenstücke 7 oder 8 und 16 eines Geländers mit einander verbindbar sind. Die Gewindebohrung 12a kann auch als Sackloch ausgebildet sein.The embodiment of Fig. 5 includes a fitting 15 which includes a threaded bore 12a and a groove-like recess 10 for a rod or rope-like intermediate piece 7 or 8. Here, the fitting 15 is connected via the screw 11 with a plate-like part 16, which made of wood, plastic, glass or Metal can be made and is usually inserted between two spacers 7 or 8. This means that in this embodiment, two intermediate pieces 7 or 8 and 16 of a railing are connected to each other. The threaded bore 12a may also be formed as a blind hole.

In Abänderung des erläuterten Ausführungsbeispieles ist es möglich, die Geländerstäbe 2 anders auszubilden. Beispielsweise können die Geländerstäbe 2 durch geschlossene Rohre gebildet sein, die Gewindebohrungen zur Aufnahme der Schraube 11 besitzen. Die Geländerstäbe 2 können aber auch durch Winkelprofile gebildet sein, die Bohrungen zur steckbaren Aufnahme von Schrauben besitzen. Bei solchen Geländerstäben 2 werden dann Anschlußstücke 15 verwendet, wie sie in den Figuren 3 bis 5 rechts dargestellt sind. Die durch die Bohrungen der Winkelprofile gesteckten Schrauben werden dann in die Gewindebohrung 12a der Anschlußstücke 15 eingedreht. Bei den dargestellten Ausführungsbeispielen weisen die langgestreckten Zwischenstücke 7, 8 gleichen bzw. annähernd gleichen Querschnitt bzw. Durchmesser auf. Es ist jedoch auch möglich, langgestreckte Zwischenstücke 7, 8 mit unterschiedlichem Querschnitt bzw. unterschiedlichem Durchmesser zu verwenden.In a modification of the illustrated embodiment, it is possible to form the balusters 2 differently. For example, the balusters 2 may be formed by closed tubes having threaded holes for receiving the screw 11. But the railing rods 2 can also be formed by angle profiles, which have holes for plug-in recording of screws. In such balusters 2 connecting pieces 15 are then used, as shown in Figures 3 to 5 right. The inserted through the holes of the angle profiles screws are then screwed into the threaded hole 12 a of the fittings 15. In the illustrated embodiments, the elongate intermediate pieces 7, 8 have the same or approximately the same cross-section or diameter. However, it is also possible to use elongate intermediate pieces 7, 8 with different cross section or diameter.
