Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Lagereinrichtung für Federleisten einer Unterfederung von vorzugsweise Sitz- und/oder Liegemöbeln.The invention relates to a storage device for spring strips of a suspension of preferably sitting and / or lying furniture.

Für Sitz- und Liegemöbel werden häufig zur Bildung einer Unterfederung sogenannte Lattenroste verwendet. Diese Lattenroste verfügen über eine Mehrzahl von Federleisten, die mit Abstand parallel nebeneinander liegen. Die Federleisten sind elastisch nachgiebig durch Federmittel an Längsholmen eines Rahmens gelagert. Beim Rahmen kann es sich sowohl um einen solchen des Sitz- und Liegemöbels als auch des Lattenrostes handeln. Lagereinrichtungen der hier angesprochenen Art können auch dazu dienen, Sprossen von Leitern an Längsholmen solcher Leitern zu befestigen.For seating and reclining so-called slatted frames are often used to form a spring base. These slatted frames have a plurality of slats, which are at a distance parallel to each other. The spring strips are resiliently supported by spring means on longitudinal members of a frame. The frame can be both one of the sitting and lying furniture and the slatted frame. Storage facilities of the type discussed here may also serve to attach rungs of ladders to longitudinal beams of such ladders.

Aus der DE 88 05 305 U ist ein Bettrahmen bekannt, der in seinen Seitenholmen Längsausnehmungen aufweist, womit Rastelemente von Federleistenhalter in Eingriff bringbar sind. Die Ausnehmungen verlaufen in gleichbleibender Kontur entlang der Längserstreckung der Seitenholme, so dass die Rastelemente sich nicht in Längsrichtung der Seitenholme unverschieblich arretieren lassen.From DE 88 05 305 U a bed frame is known, which has longitudinal recesses in its side members, with which latching elements of spring strip holder can be brought into engagement. The recesses extend in a constant contour along the longitudinal extension of the side rails, so that the locking elements can not be locked immovably in the longitudinal direction of the side rails.

Der aus der DE 198 60 619 A bekannte Stützkörper weist Haltevorsprünge auf, die in Vertiefungen von Längsholmen eingreifen. Die Stützkörper sind auch nicht entlang der Längsholme unverschieblich arretierbar.The known from DE 198 60 619 A supporting body has retaining projections which engage in recesses of longitudinal beams. The support bodies are also not lockable along the longitudinal bars immovable.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zu Grunde bekannte Lagereinrichtungen für Federleisten weiterzuentwickeln und vorzugsweise die Anordnung der Federleisten am Rahmen zu verbessern.The invention has the object of further developing known storage facilities for spring strips and preferably to improve the arrangement of the spring strips on the frame.

Eine Lagereinrichtung zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe weist die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 auf. Dadurch, dass die Federmittel mindestens einen Haltevorsprung aufweisen, der korrespondierend zu durch Zahnriemen oder dergleichen gebildete längsgerichtete Profilierungen im Bereich der Längsholme ausgebildet ist, wobei die Haltevorsprünge und Profilierungen durch Bewegung der Haltevorsprünge etwa senkrecht zu einer durch jede Profilierung gebildete Profilebene in und außer Eingriff bringbar sind, können die Federmittel besonders einfach an den Längsholmen befestigt beziehungsweise wieder gelöst werden. Bei einer Belastung der Federleisten werden die Haltevorsprünge gegen die Profilierungen gedrückt und somit die Arretierung der Federleisten an den Längsholmen zuverlässig aufrechterhalten. Bei entlasteten Federleisten können die Haltevorsprünge und Profilierungen einfach außer Eingriff gebracht werden. Ebenso können die Federmittel dazu dienen, Sprossen von Leitern an deren Längsholmen zu befestigen.A bearing device for achieving this object has the features of claim 1. Characterized in that the spring means have at least one retaining projection which is formed corresponding to formed by toothed belt or the like longitudinal profiles in the region of the longitudinal beams, wherein the retaining projections and profilings by movement of the retaining projections approximately perpendicular to a profile plane formed by each profile in and disengageable are, the spring means can be particularly easily attached to the longitudinal beams or released again. When the spring strips are loaded, the holding projections are pressed against the profilings and thus reliably maintain the locking of the spring strips on the longitudinal bars. When relieved spring strips, the retaining projections and profiles can be easily disengaged. Likewise, the spring means may serve to attach rungs of ladders to their longitudinal spars.

Eine Weiterbildung der Lagereinrichtung sieht vor, dass die Längsholme mindestens eine Längsführung zur längsverschieblichen Lagerung von am jeweiligen Längsholm angeordneten Federmittel aufweisen, wobei Haltevorsprünge der Federmittel und Profilierungen im Bereich der Längsholme unter Beibehaltung der längsverschieblichen Lagerung der Federelemente an den Längsholmen in beziehungsweise außer Eingriff miteinander bringbar sind. Dies ermöglicht eine besonders einfache Verstellung der Lage der Federleisten. Die längsverschiebliche Lagerung der Federleisten wird dabei stets beibehalten, egal ob die Haltevorsprünge und Profilierungen in oder außer Eingriff miteinander sind. Es ist ausreichend, lediglich die Profilierungen und Haltevorsprünge außer Eingriff zu bringen, um die Federleisten verschieben zu können. Auf diese Weise werden die Federmittel bei ihrer Verstellung stets an den Längsholmen geführt, was ein Verschieben der Federmittel entlang der Längsholme erleichtert. Auch Sprossen von Leitern können so an ihren Längsholmen befestigt werden.A further development of the storage facility provides that the longitudinal struts have at least one longitudinal guide for the longitudinally displaceable support arranged on the respective longitudinal beam spring means, wherein retaining projections of the spring means and profilings in the longitudinal bars while maintaining the longitudinally displaceable mounting of the spring elements on the longitudinal beams in or out of engagement with each other are. This allows a particularly simple adjustment of the position of the spring strips. The longitudinally displaceable mounting of the spring strips is always maintained, regardless of whether the holding projections and profiles are in or out of engagement with each other. It is sufficient to disengage only the profiles and retaining projections in order to move the spring strips. In this way, the spring means are always performed at their adjustment to the longitudinal beams, which facilitates a displacement of the spring means along the longitudinal bars. Even ladders of ladders can be attached to their longitudinal beams.

Zur Längsführung der Federmittel an den Längsholmen kann vorzugsweise eine längliche, nutartige Vertiefung dienen.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the profiling relative to the contour of the longitudinal bars is set back, namely arranged in the region of a recess in the longitudinal beams. For longitudinal guidance of the spring means on the longitudinal beams may preferably serve an elongated, groove-like depression.

Gemäß einer bevorzugten Weiterbildung der Erfindung sind die Federmittel durch teilweise elastische Verformung in der jeweiligen Vertiefung in den Längsholmen befestigbar und/oder lösbar. Dies ermöglicht eine einfache Herstellung der Federmittel, da beispielsweise auf die Anordnung von Gelenken verzichtet werden kann. Zudem sind zur Befestigung und/oder Lösung der Federmittel keine Werkzeuge erforderlich. Die Federmittel können alternativ oder auch zusätzlich durch Verschwenken in beziehungsweise außer Eingriff mit der jeweiligen Vertiefung bringbar sein.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the spring means are fastened by partially elastic deformation in the respective recess in the longitudinal beams and / or detachable. This allows a simple production of the spring means, since, for example, can be dispensed with the arrangement of joints. In addition, are to Attachment and / or release of spring means no tools required. The spring means may alternatively or additionally be brought by pivoting into or out of engagement with the respective recess.

Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass die Längsholme mehrere Vertiefungen aufweisen, wobei mindestens eine Vertiefung zur Längsführung der Federmittel an den Längsholmen dient und wobei mindestens eine weitere Vertiefung mit einem Haltemittel, insbesondere einer Klaue jedes Federmittels in Eingriff steht, wenn der Haltevorsprung des jeweiligen Federmittels mit den Profilierungen der Längsholme in Eingriff steht.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention it is provided that the longitudinal beams have a plurality of recesses, wherein at least one recess for longitudinal guidance of the spring means on the longitudinal beams and at least one further recess with a holding means, in particular a claw of each spring means is engaged when the retaining projection the respective spring means with the profiles of the longitudinal bars is engaged.

Eine weitere bevorzugte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sieht es vor, dass die Zahnriemen unter Ausnutzung von Restwärme bei der Herstellung desselben und/oder des Längsholms mit dem Längsholm verbindbar sind. Auf diese Weise kann die Verbindung der von den Zahnriemen gebildeten Profilierung mit den Längsholmen ohne zusätzliche Befestigungsmittel erfolgen. Vorzugsweise können die Zahnriemen mit den Längsholmen verschweißt, verklebt und/oder versiegelt werden.A further preferred embodiment of the invention provides that the toothed belt can be connected to the longitudinal spar by utilizing residual heat during the production thereof and / or of the longitudinal spar. In this way, the compound formed by the timing belt profiling can be done with the longitudinal beams without additional fasteners. Preferably, the timing belt can be welded to the longitudinal beams, glued and / or sealed.

Weitere Einzelheiten des Aufbaus des Federmittels 11, insbesondere der Federbrücke 13, sind der deutschen Patentanmeldung DE 198 60 619 A1 entnehmbar, auf deren Inhalt zum Zwecke einer vollständigen Offenbarung vollumfänglich Bezug genommen wird. In dieser Druckschrift wird das Federmittel 11 als Stützkörper bezeichnet.The bearing bracket 14 of the spring means 11 is associated with the longitudinal spar 10 of the frame and is approximately U-shaped and open at the bottom in the first embodiment. The bearing bracket 14 is at least partially, but preferably completely on the outside of an upper half of the formed as a hollow profile longitudinal beam 10, whereby the spring means 11 is supported on the longitudinal spar 10. The bearing shell 12 serves to receive an end portion of the spring bar, not shown, and is approximately U-shaped and formed open at the top. The bearing shell 12 and the bearing bracket 14 are interconnected by the spring bridge 13. Two upper legs 15 of the spring bridge 13 are attached to both sides of the bearing shell 12. Two lower legs 16 of the spring bridge 13 are each formed in two parts and connect the upper leg 15 with the bearing bracket 14.

Oberhalb und unterhalb des Haltevorsprungs 17 liegt der Lagerbügel 14 an der Außenseite des Längsholms 10 an. Die Profilierung 18 ist gegenüber der Außenseite des Längsholms 10 zurückgesetzt in einer im Querschnitt etwa schwalbenschwanzförmigen Vertiefung 19 angeordnet. Bei der Profilierung 18 handelt es sich im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel um einen Zahnriemen, Zahnleiste oder dergleichen, der derart in der Vertiefung 19 angeordnet ist, dass dessen Zähne dem Haltevorsprung 17 zugewandt sind. Die Profilierung 18 verläuft vorzugsweise durchgehend über die gesamte Länge des Längsholms 10. Alternativ kann die Profilierung 18 aber auch lediglich abschnittsweise in Bereichen angeordnet sein, in denen die Federmittel 11 positioniert werden sollen. Die Haltevorsprünge 17 sind korrespondierend zu den Zähnen des Zahnriemens oder dergleichen zur Bildung der Profilierung 18 ausgebildet.The retaining projection 17 is arranged approximately in continuation of the course of the lower legs 16 on the bearing bracket 14 and projects inwardly into the U-shaped cross-section of the bearing bracket 14. Above and below the holding projection 17 of the bearing bracket 14 is located on the outside of the longitudinal spar 10 at. The profiling 18 is set back relative to the outside of the longitudinal spar 10 in a recess 19 which is approximately dovetail-shaped in cross-section. In the profiling 18 is in the illustrated embodiment to a toothed belt, rack or the like, which is arranged in the recess 19 such that its teeth the retaining projection 17 are facing. The profiling 18 preferably runs continuously over the entire length of the longitudinal spar 10. Alternatively, the profiling 18 but also only partially be arranged in areas in which the spring means 11 are to be positioned. The retaining projections 17 are formed corresponding to the teeth of the toothed belt or the like for forming the profiling 18.

Der Haltevorsprung 17 und die Profilierung 18 dienen zur Arretierung des Federmittels 11 am Längsholm 10. Hierzu ist das Federmittel 11 aus einem elastischen Material gebildet und derart am Längsholm 10 positionierbar, dass schon bei unbelasteter Federleiste der Haltevorsprung 17 und die Profilierung 18 mindestens teilweise miteinander in Eingriff stehen. Auf diese Weise können die Federleisten zusammen mit den Federmitteln 11 in eine gewünschte Position am Längsholm 10 verschoben werden. Bei belasteter Federleiste wird der Haltevorsprung 17 über die Federbrücke 13 gegen die Profilierung 18 gedrückt und somit das Federmittel 11 am Längsholm 10 zuverlässig arretiert.The retaining projection 17 and the profiling 18 are used to lock the spring means 11 on the longitudinal spar 10. For this purpose, the spring means 11 is formed of an elastic material and positioned on the longitudinal spar 10 that even with unloaded spring bar of the retaining projection 17 and the profiling 18 at least partially together Engage. In this way, the spring strips can be moved together with the spring means 11 in a desired position on the longitudinal spar 10. When loaded spring bar of the retaining projection 17 is pressed over the spring bridge 13 against the profiling 18 and thus the spring means 11 is reliably locked to the longitudinal spar 10.

Zur Arretierung wird der Haltevorsprung 17 etwa senkrecht zu einer durch die Profilierung 18 gebildeten Profilebene bewegt, die etwa parallel zur benachbarten Außenseite des Längsholms 10 verläuft. In dieser Stellung sind Haltevorsprung 17 und Profilierung 18 im Wesentlichen unverschieblich miteinander in Eingriff. Zur Verstellung der Federleisten werden der Haltevorsprung 17 und die Profilierung 18 außer Eingriff gebracht. Dies kann durch eine elastische Verformung mindestens eines Teils des Federmittels 10 geschehen, beispielsweise durch geringfügiges Wegbiegen oder Wegschwenken des Lagerbügels 14 vom Längsholm 10. Die vorstehend beschriebene Ausgestaltung ermöglicht auf diese Weise eine Verschiebung der Federleisten ohne vorherige Demontage derselben.For locking the retaining projection 17 is moved approximately perpendicular to a profile plane formed by the profiling 18, which runs approximately parallel to the adjacent outer side of the longitudinal spar 10. In this position retaining projection 17 and profiling 18 are substantially immovably engaged with each other. To adjust the spring strips of the retaining projection 17 and the profiling 18 are disengaged. This can be done by an elastic deformation of at least a portion of the spring means 10, for example, by slight bending or pivoting away the bearing bracket 14 from the longitudinal beam 10. The embodiment described above allows in this way a displacement of the spring strips without prior disassembly of the same.

Weiterhin ist vorgesehen, dass die Federleisten stets über die Federmittel 11 mit dem Längsholm 10 in Verbindung stehen, auch wenn Haltevorsprung 17 und Profilierung 18 nicht miteinander in Eingriff sind. Hierzu kann der Haltevorsprung 17 derart ausgebildet sein, dass er auch in diesem Fall in die Vertiefung 19 hineinragt, sodass die Federleisten beim Verschieben in Längsrichtung des Längsholms 10 geführt werden. Unterstützt werden kann diese Längsführung durch die Anlage der U-förmigen Lagerbügel 14 am Längsholm 10. Eine weitere Vertiefung 20 zur längsverschieblichen Halterung des Federmittels 11 am Längsholm 10 ist der ersten Vertiefung 19 gegenüberliegend an der Außenseite des Längsholms 10 angeordnet. Diese Vertiefung 20 kann zu diesem Zweck mit einem entsprechenden Vorsprung bzw. einer Nase am Lagerbügel 14 im Eingriff stehen. Hierzu wird auf die Ausführungen in der DE 198 60 619 A1 verwiesen.Furthermore, it is provided that the spring strips are always on the spring means 11 with the longitudinal beam 10 in connection, even if holding projection 17 and profiling 18 are not engaged with each other. For this purpose, the retaining projection 17 may be formed such that it protrudes into the recess 19 in this case as well, so that the spring strips are guided during displacement in the longitudinal direction of the longitudinal spar 10. This longitudinal guide can be supported by the arrangement of the U-shaped bearing bracket 14 on the longitudinal spar 10. A further recess 20 for longitudinally displaceable mounting of the spring means 11 on the longitudinal spar 10 of the first recess 19 is disposed opposite to the outside of the longitudinal spar 10. This recess 20 may be for this purpose with a corresponding projection or a nose on the bearing bracket 14 in engagement. Reference is made to the comments in DE 198 60 619 A1.

Fig. 4 zeigt ein weiteres Ausführungsbeispiel eines Federmittels 21. Im Unterschied zum vorstehend beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiel greift ein etwa U-förmiger Lagerbügel 22 nicht über die Oberseite des Längsholms 10, sondern ist im Bereich einer Innenseite angeordnet und erstreckt sich entlang einer aufrechten Seitenfläche des Längsholms 23. Der Längsholm 23 ist ebenfalls als Hohlprofil ausgebildet, weist jedoch im Inneren zwei Kammern 24, 25 auf die durch einen Steg 26 voneinander getrennt sind. In Übereinstimmung mit dem vorstehend beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiel weist das Federmittel 21 vorzugsweise mehrere Haltevorsprünge 17 nach Art von Zähnen auf, die mit einer Profilierung 18 an der Innenseite des Längsholms 23 zur Arretierung des Federmittels 21 am Längsholm 23 in und außer Eingriff bringbar sind.4 shows a further embodiment of a spring means 21. In contrast to the embodiment described above, an approximately U-shaped bearing bracket 22 does not engage over the top of the longitudinal spar 10, but is disposed in the region of an inner side and extends along an upright side surface of the longitudinal spar 23rd The longitudinal beam 23 is likewise designed as a hollow profile, but has two chambers 24, 25 in the interior, which are separated from one another by a web 26. In accordance with the embodiment described above, the spring means 21 preferably comprises a plurality of holding projections 17 in the manner of teeth, which are engageable with a profiling 18 on the inside of the longitudinal beam 23 for locking the spring means 21 on the longitudinal member 23 and disengaged.

Die Arretierung des Federmittels 21 am Längsholm 23 erfolgt jedoch im Wesentlichen nicht durch elastische Verformung des Federmittels 21, sondern durch Verschwenken desselben. Hierzu ist eine in Längsrichtung des Längsholms 23 angeordnete und vorzugsweise durchgehende Vertiefung 27 vorgesehen. Die Vertiefung 27 weist einen etwa nutartigen Querschnitt auf und ist im Bereich der Oberseite des Längsholm 23 eingelassen. Bei am Längsholm 23 angeordnetem Federmittel 21 steht eine obere Klaue 28 am Lagerbügel 22 mit der Vertiefung 27 derart im Eingriff, dass das Federmittel 21 schwenkbar um diese Verbindung am Längsholm 23 angeordnet ist. Die Klaue 28 befindet sich dabei an einem oberen freien Ende des Lagerbügels 22. Im Bereich eines unteren freien Endes des Lagerbügels 22 ist eine weitere, untere Klaue 29 angeordnet, die mit einer weiteren nutartigen Vertiefung 30 im Bereich der Unterseite des Längsholms 23 korrespondiert. Die untere Klaue 29 und die Vertiefung 30 sind derartig angeordnet bzw. ausgebildet, dass die Klaue 29 lösbar in der Vertiefung 30 einrastbar bzw. einklipsbar ist.However, the locking of the spring means 21 on the longitudinal beam 23 is substantially not by elastic deformation of the spring means 21, but by pivoting the same. For this purpose, arranged in the longitudinal direction of the longitudinal beam 23 and preferably continuous recess 27 is provided. The recess 27 has an approximately groove-like cross-section and is embedded in the region of the top of the longitudinal beam 23. When arranged on the longitudinal beam 23 spring means 21 is an upper jaw 28 on the bearing bracket 22 with the recess 27 in engagement such that the spring means 21 is pivotally mounted about this connection on the longitudinal beam 23. The claw 28 is located at an upper free end of the bearing bracket 22. In the region of a lower free end of the bearing bracket 22, a further, lower jaw 29 is arranged, which corresponds to a further groove-like depression 30 in the region of the underside of the longitudinal spar 23. The lower jaw 29 and the recess 30 are arranged or formed such that the claw 29 can be releasably latched or clipped into the recess 30.

In der in Fig. 4 dargestellten eingerasteten Position wird einerseits das Federmittel 21 am Längsholm 23 gehalten und andererseits befinden sich die Haltevorsprünge 17 mit der Profilierung 18 im Eingriff. Die Profilierung 18 ist dabei vorzugsweise wie im vorstehend beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiel ausgebildet und angeordnet. Zur Verstellung des Federmittels 21 wird die Rastverbindung zwischen unterer Klaue 29 und Vertiefung 30 durch Verschwenken des Federmittels 21 um die obere Vertiefung 27 gelöst. Dabei geraten die Haltevorsprünge 17 und die Profilierung 18 außer Eingriff, so dass das Federmittel 21 in Längsrichtung des Längsholms 23 verschoben werden kann. Die Längsführung des Federmittels 21 wird dabei durch die scharnierartige Verbindung der oberen Klaue 28 mit der Vertiefung 27 aufrecht erhalten.In the latched position shown in Fig. 4, on the one hand, the spring means 21 is held on the longitudinal beam 23 and on the other hand, the holding projections 17 with the profiling 18 in engagement. The profiling 18 is preferably formed and arranged as in the embodiment described above. To adjust the spring means 21, the latching connection between the lower jaw 29 and depression 30 is achieved by pivoting the spring means 21 about the upper recess 27. In this case, the retaining projections 17 and the profiling 18 are disengaged, so that the spring means 21 can be displaced in the longitudinal direction of the longitudinal spar 23. The longitudinal guide of the spring means 21 is maintained by the hinge-like connection of the upper jaw 28 with the recess 27.

Alternativ kann das Federmittel 21 auch um die untere Klaue 29 verschwenkt werden, wobei die Rastverbindung mit dem Längsholm 21 dann über die obere Klaue 28 hergestellt wird.Alternatively, the spring means 21 can be pivoted about the lower jaw 29, wherein the locking connection with the longitudinal beam 21 is then made via the upper jaw 28.

Eine weitere Besonderheit betrifft die Anordnung der Profilierung 18 am Längsholm 10, 23. Hierzu ist vorgesehen, dass ein Zahnriemen aus einem Thermoplast wie zum Beispiel PE, PP, POM, ABS, PEI unter Ausnutzung der Restwärme bei der Herstellung des Zahnriemens und/oder des Längsholms 10, 23 mit dem Längsholm 10, 23 verbunden wird. Der Zahnriemen kann zunächst in einem Extrusionsverfahren hergestellt werden. Danach wird der Zahnriemen in den in Art eines Pultrusionsprofils hergestellten Längsholm 10, 23 eingesetzt. Dieser Vorgang erfolgt direkt nach der Herstellung des Längsholms 10, 23, sodass dieser noch eine herstellungsbedingt hohe Temperatur aufweist. Dabei wird der Zahnriemen über eine längere Strecke entlang des Längsholms 10, 23 geführt und in die Vertiefung 19 eingedrückt. Dies kann zum Beispiel mit Hilfe einer Rolle oder dergleichen erfolgen. Dabei erwärmt sich der Zahnriemen am noch warmen Längsholm 10, 23, so dass der Zahnriemen erweicht. Mit dem Abkühlen des Längsholms 10, 23 verengt sich die Vertiefung 19, sodass es zu einem Einschrumpfen und einer daraus resultierenden Pressverbindung mit dem Zahnriemen kommt. Zusätzlich ergibt sich durch die Temperatureinwirkung eine Verklebung des thermoplastischen Kunststoffes des Zahnriemens mit dem Längsholm 10, 23. Denkbar ist weiterhin eine gegebenenfalls zusätzliche Befestigung des Zahnriemens mit dem Längsholm 10, 23 durch Verkleben, Schrauben, Nageln und/oder Antackern.Another special feature relates to the arrangement of the profiling 18 on the longitudinal beam 10, 23. For this purpose, it is provided that a toothed belt of a thermoplastic such as PE, PP, POM, ABS, PEI by utilizing the residual heat in the manufacture of the toothed belt and / or Longitudinal beams 10, 23 with the longitudinal spar 10, 23 is connected. The toothed belt can initially be produced in an extrusion process. Thereafter, the toothed belt is inserted into the longitudinal beam 10, 23 produced in the manner of a pultrusion profile. This process takes place directly after the production of the longitudinal spar 10, 23, so that this still has a production-related high temperature. In this case, the toothed belt is guided over a longer distance along the longitudinal spar 10, 23 and pressed into the recess 19. This can be done for example by means of a roller or the like. The timing belt heats up on the still warm longitudinal beam 10, 23, so that the toothed belt softens. With the cooling of the longitudinal beam 10, 23, the recess 19 narrows, so that it comes to a shrinkage and a resulting press connection with the timing belt. In addition, results from the influence of temperature, a bonding of the thermoplastic resin of the toothed belt with the longitudinal beam 10, 23. Also conceivable is an optionally additional attachment of the toothed belt with the longitudinal beam 10, 23 by gluing, screwing, nailing and / or Antackern.

Die Erfindung eignet sich auch zur Herstellung von Leitern. Die längs der Leiter verlaufenden Längsholme sind dann nach Art der Längsholme 10, 13 ausgebildet, die aus vorzugsweise Zahnriemen gebildete Profilierungen 18 aufweisen. Die Profilierungen 18 sind dabei vorzugsweise auch in Vertiefungen 19 angeordnet. Durch nach dem Prinzip der Lagerbügel 14 ausgebildete Verbinder sind die Sprossen der Leiter an ihren Enden mit den Längsholmen verbunden. Vorzugsweise sind die Lagerbügel mit einer auf- und zuklappbaren Schließzunge versehen, so dass die Lagerbügel in geschlossenem Zustand die Längsholme ganz, nämlich ringartig umschließen.The invention is also suitable for the production of conductors. The longitudinal bars running along the ladder are then designed in the manner of the longitudinal bars 10, 13, which have profilings 18 formed by preferably toothed belts. The profilings 18 are preferably also arranged in recesses 19. By formed on the principle of the bearing bracket 14 connector, the rungs of the ladder are connected at their ends to the longitudinal beams. Preferably, the bearing bracket are provided with an up and zuklappbaren locking tongue, so that the bearing bracket in the closed state, the longitudinal bars completely, namely ring-like enclosure.
