Wie in Fig. 1 dargestellt, ist das erfindungsgemäße Kantenprofil grundsätzlich L-förmig ausgebildet und enthält in wenigstens einem Schenkel 2 die hintergriffige Ausnehmung 4. Dieser erste Schenkel 2 wird bevorzugt horizontal an der oberen Oberfläche der Platte befestigt, welche insbesondere als Arbeits- und/oder Labortischplatte ausgebildet ist. Der erste Schenkel 2 enthält ferner an seinem freien Ende eine insbesondere integrale Dichtlippe 6 zur dichtenden Auflage auf der Plattenoberfläche. Der zweite Schenkel 8, welcher in der Einbauposition im wesentlichen vertikal ausgerichtet ist, übergreift somit den Rand bzw. die Kante der genannten Platte. Die Innenfläche des ersten Schenkels 2 und/oder des zweiten Schenkels 8 sind mit Rillen und/oder Riffelungen 10, 12 versehen, mittels welchen in vorteilhafter Weise ein Toleranzausgleich und insgesamt eine gute Auflage und Befestigung an der genannten Platte sichergestellt wird. Des weiteren enthält das Kantenprofil im Hinblick auf eine optimale Bearbeitung, insbesondere beim Extrudieren oder Spritzen, wenigstens einen Hohlraum 14. Die Außenfläche 16 des freien Endes des bevorzugt horizontal anzuordnenden ersten Schenkels 2 ist in vorteilhafter Weise in einem vorgegebenem Winkel zur Horizontalen und/oder zur Außenfläche des ersten Schenkels geneigt angeordnet.As shown in Fig. 1, the edge profile according to the invention is basically L-shaped formed and contains the rear-engaging recess 4 in at least one leg 2. This first leg 2 is preferably horizontal on the upper surface of the plate attached, which is designed in particular as a work and / or laboratory table top. The first leg 2 also contains at its free end a particularly integral sealing lip 6 for sealing support on the plate surface. The second leg 8, which in the installation position is aligned essentially vertically, thus overlaps the edge or the edge of said plate. The inner surface of the first leg 2 and / or the second legs 8 are provided with grooves and / or corrugations 10, 12, by means of which in an advantageous manner a tolerance compensation and overall good support and attachment is ensured on the plate mentioned. The edge profile also contains with regard to optimal processing, especially when extruding or injection molding, at least one cavity 14. The outer surface 16 of the free end of the preferred horizontally to be arranged first leg 2 is advantageously in a predetermined Angle inclined to the horizontal and / or to the outer surface of the first leg arranged.

In einer besonderen Ausgestaltung der Erfindung erhält der vertikal nach unten ausgerichtete zweite Schenkel 8 eine Ausnehmung 18 zur Aufnahme eines Klemmkörpers 20. Die Ausnehmung 18 befindet sich zwischen einem nach unten gerichteten innenliegenden Arm 19 und dem äußeren Teil des zweiten Schenkels 8. Die Ausnehmung 18 weist bevorzugt zahnartig ausgebildete Rastelemente 22 auf, mit welchen Rastelemente 24 des genannten Klemmkörpers 20 korrespondieren. Die Rastelemente 22 und 24 sind derart ausgebildet, daß der Klemmkörper 20 in Richtung des Pfeiles 26 in die Ausnehmung 18 zum einen problemlos einschiebbar und einpreßbar ist und zum anderen aber gegen eine Bewegung entgegen der Pfeilrichtung 26 gesichert ist. In a special embodiment of the invention, the vertically downward is obtained second leg 8 has a recess 18 for receiving a clamp body 20. Die Recess 18 is located between an inner arm directed downward 19 and the outer part of the second leg 8. The recess 18 preferably has tooth-like locking elements 22 with which locking elements 24 of said Clamping body 20 correspond. The locking elements 22 and 24 are designed such that the clamping body 20 in the direction of arrow 26 in the recess 18 on the one hand without problems can be inserted and pressed in and on the other hand against movement against the Arrow direction 26 is secured.

Wie ersichtlich, ist der Klemmkörper 20 gleichfalls im wesentlichen L-förmig ausgebildet, wobei aber der Winkel 28 zwischen den beiden Schenkeln 30, 32 in vorteilhafter Weise kleiner als 90° vorgegeben ist. Der Winkel 28 ist zweckmäßig zwischen 65 bis 85°, vorteilhaft zwischen 70 bis 80°, insbesondere im wesentlichen 75° groß. Wie ersichtlich, wird somit die hier nicht dargestellte Platte, welche insbesondere als Labortischplatte ausgebildet ist, zwischen dem oberen ersten Schenkel 2 und dem gemäß Zeichnung unteren Schenkel 30 des Klemmkörpers eingeklemmt. Somit kann der Klemmkörper 20 fest an eine Unterkante der Platte angepreßt und dergegenüber verspannt werden. Es sei festgehalten, dass der Klemmkörper 20 in vorteilhafter Weise aus dem gleichen Werkstoff, insbesondere Kunststoff, insbesondere ABS, wie das Kantenprofil besteht. Aufgrund einer vorgebbaren Tiefe der Ausnehmung 18 kann das erfindungsgemäße Kantenprofil an Platten mit unterschiedlichen Dicken 34, 36 befestigt werden, und zwar entsprechend der strichpunktierten Linien 38, 40. So nimmt bei einer Platte mit der Dicke 36 nach dem vollständigen Einpressen und Einrasten des Klemmkörpers 20 dessen unterer Schenkel die gemäß der Linie 30' angedeutete horizontale Position ein.As can be seen, the clamping body 20 is also essentially L-shaped, but the angle 28 between the two legs 30, 32 in an advantageous manner is set smaller than 90 °. The angle 28 is advantageously between 65 to 85 °, advantageous between 70 to 80 °, in particular essentially 75 ° in size. As can be seen, the plate, not shown here, which is designed in particular as a laboratory table top, between the upper first leg 2 and the lower leg 30 according to the drawing of the clamping body. Thus, the clamping body 20 can firmly on a lower edge pressed against the plate and braced against it. It should be noted that the Clamping body 20 advantageously made of the same material, in particular plastic, especially ABS, like the edge profile. Because of a predeterminable depth of the recess 18 can the edge profile according to the invention on plates with different Thicknesses 34, 36 are attached, in accordance with the dash-dotted lines 38, 40. So for a plate with the thickness 36 after the complete pressing and Snap in the clamping body 20 whose lower leg is indicated by the line 30 ' horizontal position.

In besonders zweckmäßiger Weise ist das Klebemittel als ein Dichtungsband 42 ausgebildet, welches zwischen dem ersten Schenkel 2 und der genannten Platte angeordnet wird. Das Dichtungsband 42 ist insbesondere doppelseitig klebend ausgebildet und ist zusätzlich oder alternativ zur oben erläuterten Dichtlippe 6 vorgesehen. Nach der Herstellung der kombinierten Klebe- und Klemmverbindung des Kantenprofils mit der Platte wird in zweckmäßiger Weise ein über das gemäß Zeichnung links des Schenkels 2 überstehender Teil des doppelseitig klebenden Dichtungsbandes 42, insbesondere mittels eines Cutters abgetrennt, so dass ein einwandfreier und/oder sauberer Übergang vom Kantenprofil zur Plattenoberfläche gewährleistet ist. Des weiteren kann zusätzlich oder alternativ der gemäß Zeichnung vertikale zweite Schenkel 8 mit einem Klebemittel bzw. Dichtungsband 44 mit der zugeordneten Seitenfläche der Platte verbunden sein. Das erfindungsgemäß mit der Platte sowohl verklemmte als auch verklebte Kantenprofil bildet somit eine Sicherheitskante, welche ein unerwünschtes Herablaufen von Flüssigkeiten, wie Säuren, Laugen oder Lösungsmittel, von der Oberfläche der Arbeitsplatte bzw. Labortischplatte verhindert.In a particularly expedient manner, the adhesive is designed as a sealing tape 42, which is arranged between the first leg 2 and said plate. The Sealing tape 42 is in particular double-sided adhesive and is additionally or provided as an alternative to the sealing lip 6 explained above. After making the combined Adhesive and clamping connection of the edge profile with the plate is more appropriate Way over the part of the double-sided projecting over the left of the leg 2 as shown in the drawing adhesive sealing tape 42, in particular separated by means of a cutter, so that a flawless and / or clean transition from the edge profile to the board surface is guaranteed. Furthermore, additionally or alternatively, the vertical according to the drawing second leg 8 with an adhesive or sealing tape 44 with the associated Side surface of the plate can be connected. That both clamped with the plate according to the invention as well as glued edge profile thus forms a safety edge, which a undesirable running down of liquids, such as acids, bases or solvents, from the surface of the worktop or laboratory table top prevented.

Der erste Schenkel 2 und der zweite Schenkel 8 sind in einem Winkel 46 zueinander angeordnet. Vor der Verbindung mit der Labortischplatte ist dieser Winkel kleiner als 90° und zwar insbesondere maximal 89° groß. Insbesondere ist der Winkel 46 mit 85 bis 89° vorgegeben. Beim Festklemmen des Kantenprofils an der Kante der Labortischplatte werden die beiden Schenkel 2, 8 etwas aufgebogen, so dass der Winkel 46 entsprechend dem rechten Winkel zwischen der Oberfläche und der Seitenfläche der Labortischplatte auf im wesentlichen 90° geringfügig vergrößert wird. Dies hat zur Folge, dass das gemäß Zeichnung linke freie Ende des oberen Schenkels 2 fest auf die Plattenoberfläche gepresst wird und ebenso das erläuterte Dichtungsband 42 oder die dort angeordnete Dichtlippe 6.The first leg 2 and the second leg 8 are at an angle 46 to one another arranged. This angle is less than 90 ° and before the connection to the laboratory table top in particular a maximum of 89 °. In particular, the angle 46 is specified as 85 to 89 °. When clamping the edge profile on the edge of the laboratory table top the two legs 2, 8 slightly bent, so that the angle 46 corresponds to the right angle between the surface and the side surface of the bench top on im is enlarged slightly 90 °. The result of this is that according to the drawing left free end of the upper leg 2 is pressed firmly onto the plate surface and likewise the explained sealing tape 42 or the sealing lip 6 arranged there.

In den Fig. 2 und 3 ist eine besondere Ausgestaltung des erfindungsgemäßen Kantenprofils in Form eines Eckformteils 48 dargestellt. Gemäß Fig. 2 ist der erste, obere Schenkel 2 plattenförmig ausgebildet und der zweite Schenkel 8 als Winkelstück. Im Inneren dieses Eckformteils ist der nach unten gerichtete Arm 19 zur Festlegung des hier nicht dargestellten Klemmkörpers zu erkennen. Es sei darauf hingewiesen, dass der Klemmkörper des Eckformteils mit dem des Kantenprofils übereinstimmt und obige Erläuterungen gelten analog für das Eckformteil, welches insbesondere im Spritzgussverfahren hergestellt ist.2 and 3 is a special embodiment of the edge profile according to the invention shown in the form of a corner molding 48. 2, the first, upper leg is 2nd plate-shaped and the second leg 8 as an angle piece. Inside this Corner molding is the downward arm 19 for fixing the not shown here Detect clamp body. It should be noted that the clamping body of the corner molding matches that of the edge profile and the above explanations apply analogously for the corner molding, which is manufactured in particular by injection molding.

Fig. 3 zeigt in einer perspektivischen Darstellung schräg von unten das Eckformteil 48, und zwar in Blickrichtung III gemäß Fig. 2. Der nach unten gerichtete zweite Schenkel 8 ist als Winkelstück ausgebildet und in vorteilhafter Weise in der Ecke mit einer Abrundung 49 versehen. Den beiden im wesentlichen rechtwinklig zueinander angeordneten Teilen 50, 51 des zweiten Schenkels 8 sind zwei nach unten gerichtete Arme 19 zugeordnet, wobei zwei Ausnehmungen 18 für den hier nicht dargestellten Klemmkörper gebildet sind. Auch der Klemmkörper ist in zweckmäßiger Weise als Winkelstück ausgebildet und greift gemäß vorstehenden Ausführungen mit seinem nach oben gerichteten Schenkel in diese Ausnehmungen 18 in entsprechender Weise ein. Das Eckformteil 48 enthält im Bereich der wenigstens einen Ausnehmung 18 Rastelemente 24 für korrespondierende Rastelemente des zugeordneten Klemmkörpers.Fig. 3 shows a perspective view obliquely from below, the corner molding 48, and in the direction of view III according to FIG. 2. The downward-directed second leg 8 is as Configured angle piece and advantageously in the corner with a rounded portion 49 Mistake. The two parts 50, 51 arranged essentially at right angles to one another the second leg 8 is assigned two downwardly directed arms 19, two Recesses 18 are formed for the clamping body, not shown here. Also the Clamping body is expediently designed as an elbow and engages accordingly above statements with its upward leg in these recesses 18 in a corresponding manner. The corner molding 48 contains in the area of at least one recess 18 locking elements 24 for corresponding locking elements of the associated clamp body.

Fig. 4 zeigt teilweise in einer Ansicht schräg von oben die Labortischplatte 52, an deren beiden rechtwinklig zueinander verlaufenden Kanten jeweils ein sich in Längsrichtung der Plattenkanten erstreckendes Eckprofil angeordnet ist. Ferner ist an der Ecke der Labortischplatte 52 das anhand der Fig. 3 und 4 erläuterte Eckformteil 48 vorgesehen. Das Eckformteil 48 übergreift mit seinen Enden 54, 55 außen die beiden zugeordneten Kantenprofile, deren Enden mit strichpunktierten Linien 56, 57 angedeutet sind und unter dem Eckformteil liegen. Aufgrund dieser erfindungsgemäßen Überlappung werden eventuelle Ungenauigkeiten an den Enden der genannten Kantenprofile überdeckt und insgesamt ist eine exakte und funktionsgerechte Festlegung der beiden Kantenprofile ebenso wie des Eckformteils gewährleistet. Fig. 4 shows partially in a view obliquely from above the laboratory table top 52, at the two edges running at right angles to one another each in the longitudinal direction of the Plate edges extending corner profile is arranged. Also on the corner of the bench top 52 provided the corner molding 48 explained with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4. The corner molding 48 engages with its ends 54, 55 outside the two associated edge profiles, the Ends with dash-dotted lines 56, 57 are indicated and lie under the corner molding. Any inaccuracies are due to this overlap according to the invention covers the ends of the mentioned edge profiles and overall is an exact and Functional definition of the two edge profiles as well as the corner molding guaranteed.

Es ist somit ein Kantenprofil-System geschaffen, welches bevorzugt aus Kunststoff besteht. In bevorzugter Weise gelangt ein ABS-Kunststoff zum Einsatz, doch können im Rahmen der Erfindung auch andere Kunststoffe vorgesehen sein.An edge profile system is thus created, which preferably consists of plastic. An ABS plastic is preferably used, but within the scope of Invention other plastics can also be provided.

Das Kantenprofil und/oder Kantenprofil-System gewährleistet eine funktionssichere Befestigung durch einen variablen Klemm-Mechanismus und den Ausgleich von Platten-Toleranzen. Bedarfsweise ist die flexible Anbringung des unteren Klemmteils möglich, doch kann grundsätzlich das L-förmige Kantenprofil allein zum Einsatz gelangen.The edge profile and / or edge profile system ensures a functionally reliable attachment thanks to a variable clamping mechanism and the compensation of plate tolerances. If necessary, the flexible attachment of the lower clamping part is possible, however the L-shaped edge profile can basically be used alone.

Ferner ermöglich das Kantenprofil neben der klassischen Gehrung als Eckausbildung in vorteilhafter Weise eine einfache Realisierung von "um die Ecke"-Lösungen. Insbesondere wird hierzu in das Kantenprofil, und zwar solange dieses noch gerade ist, im vorgesehenen Eckbereich eine Bohrung eingebracht, insbesondere in den ersten nach der Verbindung mit der Platte oberen horizontalen Schenkel 2. Danach folgt Erwärmen, Umbiegen, Schließen der Bohrung, insbesondere mittels eines Clip-Teils, Verspannung mit dem genannten unteren Klemmteil, und zwar nur in den Längsschenkel und nicht im Eckbereich und/oder der Krümmung.In addition to the classic miter, the edge profile enables corner formation in advantageously a simple implementation of "around the corner" solutions. In particular for this purpose in the edge profile, as long as it is still straight, in the intended A corner hole is introduced, especially in the first after the connection with the upper horizontal leg of the plate 2. This is followed by heating, bending, closing the bore, in particular by means of a clip part, bracing with said lower clamping part, and only in the longitudinal leg and not in the corner area and / or the Curvature.

Das erfindungsgemäße Kantenprofil und/oder Kantenprofil-System besitzt nachfolgende bevorzugte Eigenschaften:

  • Befestigung durch variablen Klemm-Mechanismus, dadurch Ausgleich von Platten-Toleranzen, flexible Anbringung des unteren Klemmteiles möglich - derart wo es nötig ist.
  • Günstige Realisierung von "um die Ecke"-Lösungen wird möglich, z.B. Einbringen von Bohrungen in das Profil im Eckbereich - Erwärmen - Umbiegen - Schließen der Bohrung mit Clip-Teil - Verspannung mit unterem Klemmteil nur in den Längsschenkeln und nicht in der Krümmung.
  • Baustellen-Montage wird möglich, da unkomplizierte Montagetechnik (üblicherweise wird abseits der Baustelle in Produktionshallen eines Verarbeiters eine aufwendige Verklebung durchgeführt).
  • Abdichtung gegen Flüssigkeiten vom Tischplatten-Inneren durch koextrudierte oder anderweitig einzubringende Dichtlippe.
  • Hinterschneidungen für eventuelle Nut-Feder-Verbindungstechnik in Längsrichtung - dadurch Vermeidung von reinen Stoßkonstruktionen dort, wo Längsanschlußverbindungen nötig sind.
  • Hinterschneidungen vorteilhaft für Aufnahme von zusammengedrücktem Klebstoff.
  • eventuell durch Klemm-Mechanismus Verklebung nicht unbedingt notwendig.
The edge profile and / or edge profile system according to the invention has the following preferred properties:
  • Fastening by means of a variable clamping mechanism, thereby compensating for plate tolerances, flexible attachment of the lower clamping part possible - wherever it is necessary.
  • Inexpensive implementation of "around the corner" solutions is possible, for example, drilling holes in the profile in the corner area - heating - bending - closing the hole with clip part - clamping with lower clamping part only in the longitudinal legs and not in the curve.
  • Construction site assembly is possible because of the uncomplicated assembly technology (usually a complex adhesive is carried out outside the construction site in a processor's production halls).
  • Sealing against liquids from the inside of the tabletop by means of a co-extruded or otherwise insertable sealing lip.
  • Undercuts for possible tongue and groove connection technology in the longitudinal direction - thereby avoiding pure butt constructions where longitudinal connection connections are necessary.
  • Undercuts are advantageous for absorbing compressed adhesive.
  • possibly not absolutely necessary due to the clamping mechanism.
