Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Körperschutzpanzerung, insbesondere für den Stichschutz, mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffes des Anspruches 1.The invention relates to body armor, in particular for the Stab protection, with the features of the preamble of claim 1.

Aus dem DE 296 05 503 U1 ist bereits eine Körperschutzpanzerung für die Schultergelenkzone bekannt. Diese Körperschutzpanzerung besteht im wesentlichen aus mehreren körpergerecht geformten Panzerplatten, die aus tiefgezogenem Leichtmetallblech hergestellt sind. Die nachfolgend als Flächenelemente bezeichneten Panzerplatten sind gelenkig miteinander verbunden. Somit wird nicht nur ein weitreichender Körperschutz, sondern auch eine gute Beweglichkeit der Körperschutzpanzerung erreicht, wodurch ein guter Tragekomfort mit hoher Bewegungsfreiheit erreicht wird. An dem auf der Schulter angeordneten Flächenelement sind über Gelenke Flächenelemente für den Schutz des Schlüsselbeins und des Schulterblattes angeordnet. Diese Gelenke sind hierbei als längliche Scharniere ausgebildet.DE 296 05 503 U1 already provides body armor for the shoulder joint zone known. This body armor exists essentially from several armor plates shaped to fit the body, which are made of deep-drawn light metal sheet. The following Armor plates referred to as surface elements are articulated with one another connected. This means not only extensive body protection, but also good mobility of the body armor achieved, which is a good wearing comfort with high freedom of movement is achieved. On the surface element arranged on the shoulder are surface elements over joints for the protection of the clavicle and the shoulder blade arranged. These joints are considered elongated Hinges formed.

Des weiteren sind als flexible Schutzflächen zum Einsatz im Personenschutz sogenannte Kettenhemden bekannt, deren stich- und schnittfeste Flächen biegeschlaff und möglichst leicht sind. Diese flexiblen Flächenelemente bestehen aus beweglich miteinander verbundenen Ringelementen. Die Ringelemente sind hierzu reihenbildend teilweise mit den benachbarten Ringelemente überragend oder überdeckend angeordnet. Aus der DE 198 33 816 A1 ist beispielsweise ein derartiges Flächenelement bekannt, das sich dadurch auszeichnet, daß die einzelnen Ringelemente mindestens einen Durchgang aufweisen, der so ausgebildet ist, daß jedes Ringelement an mindestens zwei weiteren Ringelementen durch Schlaufen aus einem fadenartigen Material befestigt werden kann.Furthermore, they are flexible protective surfaces for use in personal protection so-called chain shirts known, their puncture and cut resistant Surfaces are limp and as light as possible. These flexible surface elements consist of ring elements movably connected to each other. For this purpose, the ring elements are partially in line with the Adjacent ring elements projecting or overlapping. Such a surface element is, for example, from DE 198 33 816 A1 known, which is characterized in that the individual ring elements have at least one passage which is designed such that each ring element on at least two further ring elements can be attached by loops made of a thread-like material.

Ferner sind aus der DE 198 19 737 A1 schuppenartige Stichschutzgewebe bekannt, die zum Personenschutz verwendet werden, um einen Durchstich eines Eispickels oder Stichlings zu verhindern. Dieses Stichschutzgewebe besteht aus einer Vielzahl von miteinander verbundenen Schuppen, die für eine Verbindung untereinander Bohrungen aufweisen, in die Verbindungselemente eingreifen. Die Schuppen überdecken sich ziegeldachartig und die Verbindungselemente sind unmittelbar an den Schuppen angeformt.Furthermore, scale-like stab protection fabrics are known from DE 198 19 737 A1 known that are used to protect a person Prevent puncture by an ice ax or stickleback. This stab protection fabric consists of a large number of interconnected Scales which have holes for connection to one another, engage in the fasteners. The scales overlap tile roof-like and the connecting elements are directly on the Molded scales.

Ausgehend von diesem Stand der Technik liegt der vorliegenden Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Körperschutzpanzerung zu schaffen, die verbesserte Sicherheitseigenschaften, insbesondere einen besseren Stichschutz, bei Beibehaltung eines ausreichenden oder Erzielung eines sogar verbesserten Tragekomforts aufweist.The present invention is based on this prior art the task of creating body armor, the improved security features, especially a better one Stab protection, while maintaining sufficient or achieving an even has improved comfort.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine Körperschutzpanzerung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruches 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Ansprüchen 2 bis 15 beschrieben.This task is accomplished with body armor with the characteristics of claim 1 solved. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are described in claims 2 to 15.

Erfindungsgemäß wird bei einer Körperschutzpanzerung, insbesondere für den Stichschutz, die aus mindestens zwei Flächenelementen besteht, die zur körpergerechten Anpassung mit Gelenken verbunden sind, dadurch erreicht, daß die Flächenelemente unter Bildung von Spaltöffnungen miteinander verbunden sind und zwischen den Flächenelementen in zumindest einem Teilbereich der Spaltöffnung zum Verschließen der Spaltöffnung ein Verschlußelement angeordnet ist, so daß einerseits die Beweglichkeit der Körperschutzpanzerung durch die Verbindung der einzelnen Flächenelemente über die Gelenke erhalten bleibt und gleichzeitig durch Verschließen der zwischen den Flächenelementen vorhandenen Spaltöffnung auch im Verbindungsbereich der Stichschutz, insbesondere im Hinblick auf einen Winkelbestich, verbessert wird.According to the invention, in the case of body armor, in particular for stab protection, which consists of at least two surface elements, which are connected to joints to fit the body, thereby achieved that the surface elements with formation of stomata are interconnected and between the surface elements in at least a portion of the gap opening for closing the Gap opening a closure element is arranged so that on the one hand the Mobility of body armor through the connection of the individual Surface elements over the joints are preserved and at the same time by closing the existing between the surface elements Gap opening also in the connection area of the stab protection, in particular with regard to an angle cut, is improved.

Bevorzugt sind die Verschlußelemente in einem Extrusionsverfahren aus elastischem Kunststoff, vorzugsweise EPDM (Ethylen-Propylen-Dien-Kautschuk), hergestellt und weisen die Form von Langprofilen auf. Hierdurch wird die Beweglichkeit der einzelnen Flächenelemente, die den Tragekomfort der Körperschutzpanzerung bestimmen, erhalten.The closure elements are preferably made from an extrusion process elastic plastic, preferably EPDM (ethylene-propylene-diene rubber), manufactured and have the shape of long profiles. hereby is the mobility of the individual surface elements that the Determine the wearing comfort of the body armor.

Vorzugsweise ist in dem Verschlußelement mindestens ein Verstärkungsteil eingebettet, das die Spaltöffnung von der einem Träger der Körperschutzpanzerung abgewandten Außenseite überdeckt. Hierdurch kann der Stichschutz im Bereich der Spaltöffnung weiter verbessert werden. Hierbei ist das Verstärkungsteil bevorzugt als Flachprofil ausgebildet und aus Stahl, vorzugsweise VA-Stahl, hergestellt.At least one reinforcing part is preferably in the closure element embedded that the stomata of a carrier of the Body armor facing away from the outside. hereby the stab protection in the area of the gap opening can be further improved. Here, the reinforcing part is preferably designed as a flat profile and made of steel, preferably VA steel.

In konstruktiv besonders günstiger Weise weist das Verschlußelement einen H-förmigen Querschnitt auf. In die entsprechenderweise spiegelbildlich vorhandenen beiden U-förmigen Öffnungen sind dann jeweils die gegenüberliegend angeordneten Flächenelemente mit ihren Randbereichen eingeschoben. Somit wird erreicht, daß nach erfolgter Montage der Gelenke das Verschlußelement ohne weitere Befestigung zwischen zwei aneinander angrenzendem Flächenelementen gehalten wird. In a structurally particularly advantageous manner, the closure element has a H-shaped cross section. In the correspondingly mirror image existing two U-shaped openings are then each opposite arranged surface elements with their edge areas inserted. This ensures that after the joints have been assembled the closure element between two without further attachment adjacent surface elements is held.

Im Besonderen weist das H-förmige Verschlußelement ein oberes Flanschteil, ein Stegteil und unteres Flanschteil auf. In dem oberen Flanschteil ist das Verstärkungsteil eingebettet. Weitere Verstärkungsteile können auch in dem Stegteil und/oder dem unteren Flanschteil eingebettet sein. Hierbei sind die mehreren Verstärkungsteile jeweils durch den Werkstoff des Verschlußelements voneinander getrennt. Durch die mehreren Verstärkungsteile wird eine weitere Erhöhung des Stichschutzes erreicht.In particular, the H-shaped closure element has an upper one Flange part, a web part and lower flange part. In the top The reinforcement part is embedded in the flange part. More reinforcement parts can also be embedded in the web part and / or the lower flange part his. The several reinforcement parts are each through separated the material of the closure element. Through the several reinforcement parts will further increase the stab protection reached.

In konstruktiv günstiger Ausgestaltung ist das obere Flanschteil und das untere Flanschteil so ausgebildet, daß diese im Einbauzustand mit ihren der U-förmigen Öffnung zugewandten Flächen eng an dem Flächenelement anliegen. Im Nicht-Einbauzustand ragen die von dem Stegteil seitlich abgewandten Enden des oberen Flanschteils in die U-förmigen Öffnungen hinein, so daß sie im Einbauzustand verspannt und an die Flächenelemente angedrückt werden. Hierdurch wird verhindert, daß sich das Verschlußelement auch bei verschiedenen Winkelstellungen der Flächenelemente zueinander in Folge von Bewegungen des Trägers von der Oberfläche der Flächenelemente abhebt. Somit wird eine Klinge einer Stichwaffe erfolgreich von dem Verschlußelement abgelenkt und gleitet anschließend auf der Oberseite des oberen Flanschteils entlang.In a structurally favorable design, the upper flange part and lower flange part designed so that these in the installed state with their Surfaces facing the U-shaped opening closely to the surface element issue. In the non-installed state, they project laterally from the web part opposite ends of the upper flange part in the U-shaped openings into it so that it is clamped in the installed state and attached to the surface elements be pressed. This prevents the closure element even at different angular positions of the surface elements to each other as a result of movements of the wearer from the Surface of the surface elements stands out. So a blade becomes one Stab successfully deflected from the breech element and slides then along the top of the upper flange part.

Als Gelenke können die Verschlusselemente selbst dienen, insbesondere wenn sie ausreichend fest mit den Flächenelementen verbunden sind. Vorteilhafter Weise können statt dessen oder zusätzlich separate Gelenke, wie Scharniergelenke, vorhanden sein. In den an eine Spaltöffnung angrenzenden Randbereichen der Flächenelemente können hierzu jeweils mindestens eine Öffnung angeordnet sein, durch die ein Ringelement geführt wird. Dieses Ringelement ist in bevorzugter Weise aus einem Flachprofil gebildet. Dann haben die in den Flächenelementen vorgesehenen Öffnungen die Form eines flachen Rechteckes. Im geschlossenen, d.h. zugedrückten, Zustand weisen die Ringelemente den Querschnitt eines langgezogenen O auf. Als bevorzugter Werkstoff wird für die Ringelemente und die Verstärkungselemente Stahl, vorzugsweise VA-Stahl, verwendet.The closure elements themselves can serve as joints, in particular if they are sufficiently firmly connected to the surface elements. Advantageously, instead of or in addition, separate joints, like hinge joints. In a gap opening adjacent edge areas of the surface elements can be used for this at least one opening can be arranged through which a ring element to be led. This ring element is preferably made of one Flat profile formed. Then have those provided in the surface elements Openings in the form of a flat rectangle. In the closed, i.e. pressed, state, the ring elements have the cross section an elongated O on. The preferred material for the Ring elements and the reinforcing elements steel, preferably VA steel, used.

In bevorzugter Ausführung sind je gelenkiger Verbindung zwischen zwei Flächenelementen zwei Ringelemente vorgesehen, die jeweils im Endbereich einer Spaltöffnung angeordnet sind und das Verschlußelement ist jeweils an die Ringelemente angrenzend in der Spaltöffnung sowie zwischen den Ringelementen angeordnet.In a preferred embodiment, there are articulated connections between two Two ring elements are provided, each in the end area a gap opening are arranged and the closure element each adjacent to the ring elements in the gap opening and between arranged the ring elements.

Die Flächenelemente selber sind vorteilhafter Weise als körpergerecht geformte Platten ausgebildet und zur Erhöhung des Tragekomforts aus Leichtmetall, vorzugsweise aus Aluminium, hergestellt.The surface elements themselves are advantageously suitable for the body molded plates and designed to increase comfort Light metal, preferably made of aluminum.

Die Fig. 1 zeigt eine Draufsicht auf einen Ausschnitt einer Körperschutzpanzerung, die aus einer Vielzahl von über Gelenken 1 miteinander verbundenen Flächenelementen 2 bestehen. Die Fig. 1 zeigt exemplarisch nur Abschnitte von zwei miteinander verbundenen Flächenelementen 2, an die sich an weiteren Rändern über weitere Gelenke 1 zusätzliche Flächenelemente anschließen können. Die einzelnen Flächenelemente 1 sind hierbei jeweils aus Leichtmetall, vorzugsweise aus Aluminium, hergestellt und sind in Maßanfertigung für den jeweiligen Träger körpergerecht geformt und deren Größe und Form entsprechend zugeschnitten, so daß sich die Beweglichkeit der Körperschutzpanzerung durch eine den Körperbewegungen des Trägers folgende Anordnung der Gelenke 1 zwischen den einzelnen Flächenelementen 2 ergibt.1 shows a plan view of a section of body armor, which are connected to one another by a large number of joints 1 Surface elements 2 exist. 1 shows an example only sections of two interconnected surface elements 2, to which there are 1 additional surface elements at further edges via further joints can connect. The individual surface elements 1 are each made of light metal, preferably aluminum and are made to measure for the respective wearer shaped and their size and shape tailored accordingly that the mobility of the body armor by a Body movements of the wearer following arrangement of the joints 1 between the individual surface elements 2 results.

Die plattenförmigen Flächenelemente 2 sind wie aus der Fig. 1 unter Bildung einer Spaltöffnung 3 über Gelenke 1 nach Art eines Scharniergelenkes miteinander verbunden. Das Gelenk 1 besteht im wesentlichen aus im an die Spaltöffnung 3 angrenzenden Randbereich 4 des Flächenelementes 2 angeordneten Öffnungen 5, die einen Querschnitt eines flachen Rechteckes haben, dessen Längserstreckung sich parallel zur Längserstreckung der Spaltöffnung 3 erstreckt. Diese Öffnungen 5 sind jeweils gegenüberliegend in beiden Flächenelementen 2 angeordnet und dienen zur Aufnahme eines Ringelementes 6, das aus einem Abschnitt eines länglichen Flachprofils gebildet ist. Für die Montage wird das noch offene, U-förmige Ringelement 6 durch die beiden gegenüberliegenden Öffnungen 5 durchgesteckt und zur Bildung des Ringelementes 6 zusammengedrückt. Das Ringelement 6 hat somit im Einbauzustand im Querschnitt gesehen eine stadionförmige Gestalt und trägt somit gegenüber dem übrigen Flächenelement 2 kaum auf. Vorzugsweise werden zwei Flächenelemente 2 über zwei Ringelemente 6 mit entsprechenden Öffnungen 5 miteinander verbunden. Die Öffnungen 5 und die Ringelemente 6 sind hierbei möglichst nahe im Endbereich der Spaltöffnung 3 angeordnet. Die Länge der verbleibenden Spaltöffnung 3 entspricht etwa der Breite des Ringelementes. Durch die Ausgestaltung des stadionförmigen Ringelementes 6 und die entsprechende Dimensionierung der Öffnung 5 wird auch im Bereich des Gelenkes 1 ein ausreichender Stichschutz erreicht, obwohl ein geringer Spalt 7 zwischen dem Ringelement 6 und dem angrenzenden Flächenelement 2 verbleibt. Dieser Spalt weist jedoch eine Breite von weniger als 1 mm auf.The plate-shaped surface elements 2 are formed as in FIG. 1 a gap opening 3 via joints 1 in the manner of a hinge joint connected with each other. The joint 1 consists essentially from in the border area 4 of the surface element adjacent to the gap opening 3 2 arranged openings 5 which have a cross section of a have flat rectangle, the longitudinal extension of which is parallel to Longitudinal extension of the gap opening 3 extends. These openings 5 are arranged opposite each other in both surface elements 2 and serve to receive a ring element 6, which consists of a section an elongated flat profile is formed. For the assembly it will be open, U-shaped ring element 6 through the two opposite Openings 5 pushed through and compressed to form the ring element 6. The ring element 6 thus has in the installed state Cross-section seen a stadium-shaped shape and thus contributes to the remaining surface element 2 hardly. Preferably be two surface elements 2 over two ring elements 6 with corresponding Openings 5 interconnected. The openings 5 and the ring elements 6 are as close as possible in the end region of the gap opening 3 arranged. The length of the remaining gap opening 3 corresponds approximately the width of the ring element. Due to the design of the stadium-shaped Ring element 6 and the corresponding dimensioning of the opening 5 will also provide adequate stab protection in the area of joint 1 reached, although a small gap 7 between the ring element 6 and the adjacent surface element 2 remains. This gap points but less than 1 mm wide.

Der sich zwischen den beiden Ringelementen 6 befindende Abschnitt der Spaltöffnung 3 wird zusätzlich über ein Verschlußelement 8 gegen das Eindringen einer Klinge einer Stichwaffe gesichert. Dieses Verschlußelement 8 wird vor dem Zusammenfügen der beiden Flächenelemente 2 auf einen Randbereich 4 eines Flächenelementes 2 aufgeschoben und anschließend das andere Flächenelement 2 in das Verschlußelement 8 eingeschoben. Anschließend werden, wie zuvor beschrieben, die Ringelemente 6 montiert.The located between the two ring elements 6 of the Slit opening 3 is additionally against the closure element 8 Penetration of a stab of a stab weapon secured. This closure element 8 is on before joining the two surface elements 2 an edge area 4 of a surface element 2 is pushed on and then the other surface element 2 is inserted into the closure element 8. Then, as previously described, the ring elements 6 mounted.

Anhand der Fig. 2, die eine Schnittansicht von Fig. 1 aus dem Bereich der Schnittlinie I-I zeigt, ist der detaillierte Aufbau des Verschlußelementes 8 ersichtlich. Das Verschlußelement 8 ist im wesentlichen H-förmig ausgebildet mit einem oberen Flanschteil 80, einem unteren Flanschteil8u und einem Stegteil 8s. Das obere Flanschteil 80, das Stegteil 8s und das untere Flanschteil 8u bilden somit zwei U-förmige Öffnungen 9, die sich ausgehend von dem Stegteil 8s in entgegengesetzte Richtungen öffnen. In diese Öffnungen 9 sind jeweils die Flächenelemente 2 der Körperschutzpanzerung bis zum Anschlag an das Stegteil 8s eingeschoben. Im Grund der Öffnung 9 sind in den Eckbereichen jeweils aus fertigungstechnischen Gründen runde Ausnehmungen 10 vorhanden.2, which is a sectional view of FIG. 1 from the area of Section line I-I shows the detailed structure of the closure element 8th seen. The closure element 8 is essentially H-shaped with an upper flange part 80, a lower flange part 8u and a web part 8s. The upper flange part 80, the web part 8s and the lower one Flange part 8u thus form two U-shaped openings 9, which are starting in the opposite direction from the web part 8s. The surface elements 2 of the body armor are in each of these openings 9 pushed in as far as possible against the web part 8s. in the The reason for the opening 9 are in the corner areas each of manufacturing technology Reasons round recesses 10 available.

Das Verschlußelement 8 ist aus einem elastischen Kunststoff, vorzugsweise aus EPDM (Ethylen-Propylen-Dien-Kautschuk), hergestellt und ist im Bereich seines oberen Flanschteils 80 zusätzlich über ein Verstärkungselement 11 gegen ein Durchstechen gesichert. Die Breite des Verstärkungselementes 11 entspricht mindestens der dreifachen Breite der Spaltöffnung 3. Dieses Verstärkungselement 11 ist aus Stahl, vorzugsweise aus VA-Stahl, hergestellt und ist entsprechend der geraden Form der Spaltöffnung, dem Verlauf der Spaltöffnung folgend, als gerades Flachprofil ausgebildet.The closure element 8 is made of an elastic plastic, preferably made of EPDM (ethylene-propylene-diene rubber) in the area of its upper flange part 80 additionally via a reinforcing element 11 secured against piercing. The width of the reinforcing element 11 corresponds to at least three times the width of the Gap opening 3. This reinforcing element 11 is made of steel, preferably made of VA steel and is according to the straight shape the gap opening, following the course of the gap opening, as a straight line Flat profile trained.

Die Breite des flachprofilförmigen Verschlußelementes 8 ist so gewählt, daß die Spaltöffnung 3 seitlich mindestens um das doppelte der Spaltöffnung überdeckt wird. Somit ist auch bei einem 25°-Winkelbestich sicher gewährleistet, daß die Klinge einer Stichwaffe nicht in die Spaltöffnung 3 zwischen zwei angrenzenden Flächenelementen 2 eindringen kann. Das Verstärkungselement 11 ist allseitig von Kunststoff umgeben und somit in dem Verschlußelement 8 eingebettet. Die Beweglichkeit der Flächenelemente 2 bleibt somit erhalten.The width of the flat profile-shaped closure element 8 is selected that the gap opening 3 laterally at least twice the gap opening is covered. It is therefore safe even with a 25 ° angle cut ensures that the blade of a stab weapon does not enter the gap opening 3 can penetrate between two adjacent surface elements 2. The Reinforcing element 11 is surrounded on all sides by plastic and thus in the closure element 8 embedded. The mobility of the surface elements 2 is therefore retained.

Außerdem ist ersichtlich, daß das obere Flanschteil 8o und das untere Flanschteil 8u mit ihrer jeweiligen Innenseite 8i eng an der Oberfläche des Flächenelementes 2 anliegen. Die Außenseite 8a des oberen Flanschteils 80 und des unteren Flanschteil 8u ist im Bereich seiner seitlichen Endbereiche 8e ausgehend von dem Stegteil 8s zu der Oberfläche des Flächenelementes 2 abfallend ausgebildet. Hierdurch kann auch erreicht werden, daß die Klinge einer Stichwaffe auch im Bereich des Übergangs zwischen dem Flächenelement 2 und dem Verschlußelement 8 wirkungsvoll abgelenkt wird.It can also be seen that the upper flange part 8o and the lower Flange part 8u with their respective inner side 8i close to the surface of the surface element 2. The outside 8a of the top Flange part 80 and the lower flange part 8u is in the area of its lateral End regions 8e starting from the web part 8s to the surface of the surface element 2 formed sloping. This can also be achieved be that the blade of a stab weapon also in the area of the transition between the surface element 2 and the closure element 8 is effectively distracted.

Die weitere Fig. 3 zeigt ein Verschlußelement 8, wie in Fig. 2, jedoch nicht im Einbauzustand. Außerdem ist ersichtlich, daß neben dem, auch in Fig. 2 vorhandenen, Verstärkungselement 11 in dem oberen Flanschteil weitere Verstärkungselemente 11 in dem Stegteil 8s und dem unteren Flanschteil 8u vorgesehen sind. Dies dient zur Verbesserung der Durchstichfestigkeit. Alle Verstärkungselemente 11 sind aus Stahl, vorzugsweise aus VA-Stahl, hergestellt und jeweils voneinander getrennt und allseitig von Kunststoff umgeben in dem Verschlußelement 8 eingebettet. Hierdurch wird die Beweglichkeit der Verbindung zwischen den Flächenelementen 2 erhalten. Neben der dargestellten Variante mit drei Verstärkungselementen 11 ist auch jede weitere beliebige Kombination von Verstärkungselementen 11 möglich, soweit die Funktion erhalten bleibt, daß ein Durchstichschutz im Bereich der Spaltöffnung 3 erhalten bleibt.The further Fig. 3 shows a closure element 8, as in Fig. 2, however not when installed. It can also be seen that in addition to that, too 2, reinforcing element 11 present in the upper flange part further reinforcing elements 11 in the web part 8s and the lower one Flange part 8u are provided. This serves to improve puncture resistance. All reinforcing elements 11 are made of steel, preferably made of VA steel, separated from each other and on all sides surrounded by plastic embedded in the closure element 8. hereby becomes the flexibility of the connection between the surface elements 2 received. In addition to the variant shown with three reinforcement elements 11 is also any other combination of reinforcing elements 11 possible if the function is retained that a puncture protection is maintained in the area of the gap opening 3.

Auch ist aus der Fig. 3 ersichtlich, daß die Endbereiche 8e des oberen Flanschelementes in Richtung des unteren Flanschelementes 8u gekrümmt sind. Hierdurch wird im Einbauzustand der Flächenelemente 2 erreicht, daß die Endbereiche 8e sicher auf der Oberfläche des Flächenelementes 2 gehalten werden.It can also be seen from FIG. 3 that the end regions 8e of the upper one Flange element curved in the direction of the lower flange element 8u are. In this way, when the surface elements 2 are in the installed state, that the end regions 8e securely on the surface of the surface element 2 are held.

In dem Ausführungsbeispiel nach Fig. 4 sind - zusätzlich zur ersten Ausführungsform - in den oberen und unteren Flanschteilen 80, 8u Einschnürungen 13 sowie Kammern 15 vorgesehen. Erstere dienen der Flexibilität, letztere dem Einschieben mindestens einen Stützelementes 12. Das Stützelement 12 dient als Auflager für ein Verbindungselement 14, wie eines Hohlniets, der eine feste Verbindung zwischen dem Verschlusselement und dem benachbarten Flächenelement herstellt. 4 are in addition to the first embodiment - Constrictions in the upper and lower flange parts 80, 8u 13 and chambers 15 are provided. The former serve flexibility, the latter the Insert at least one support element 12. The support element 12 serves as a support for a connecting element 14, such as a hollow rivet, which has a fixed Connection between the closure element and the adjacent surface element manufactures.
