Definitions

  • the invention relates to a covering according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • Another flooring is known, which is formed by plates. These plates have frontal grooves, into which T-shaped spacers can penetrate. These spacers define the joint width in close tolerances and consist of an elastic material. Above the spacers, the joint is filled with sand.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a covering of the type mentioned, which is easy to install and closes the joints permanently and visually appealing.
  • the covering according to claim 1 consists of individual plates of mineral material, in particular stone, artificial stone, concrete, cast stone or ceramics. This covering can be used both as a floor covering and as a wall covering. In order to lay the plates easily in their gravel or mortar bed or on pedestal bearings, joints are provided between the end faces of the plates. These joints allow a simple compensation of different plate dimensions and a compensation of thermal expansion of the plates with temperature fluctuations.
  • this filler In order to prevent dirt from accumulating in the joints, which is difficult to remove, a filler is introduced into these joints.
  • this filler consists of a strip which is fixed on the front side of the plate. This bar forms when laying the plate a spacer, so that a constant joint width is achieved without further action.
  • the fixed to the faces of the plate strips are laid together with the plates, so that a subsequent filling of the joints is eliminated.
  • the plates are rather laid simultaneously with the strips. It does not matter if the strips are already fixed at the manufacturer or only at the construction site on the plate.
  • the plate adjacent to the strip is displaceable relative to the strip at least perpendicular to the plate plane extension.
  • each plate can simply be pressed into the pebble or mortar bed and tapped.
  • the adjacent plate is displaceable along the end face resting against the strip in order to ensure a simple alignment of the plates relative to one another.
  • the laid panels can be removed from the bed after use, together with the strips and reused.
  • the plates are tapped into the bed so that their visible surfaces are aligned with each other.
  • the strip is penetrated by transverse grooves or openings. Penetrating water can drain into the underlying bed in this way, so there is no risk of frost heaves.
  • the apertures may transversely penetrate the ledge to direct the water to the opposite side of the ledge if unobstructed drainage is possible there.
  • the water can get in this way to the spring side facing away from the bar to drain there.
  • the spring of the strip may be interspersed by the transverse grooves or openings, in order to produce in this way a vertical outflow channel. It is thought to attach the bar already factory to the plate, so that the installation on the site is particularly easy.
  • the strip of the plate provides additional protection, so that the plate can be easily turned off without the risk that edges of the plates break out. On an additional edge protection of the plates can therefore be dispensed with during transport. Extends the bar with a leg to below the spring, this leg has preferably in the region of each transverse groove or opening a groove, which ensures an unobstructed water flow.
  • a tongue and groove profiling For easy determination of the bar on the front side of the plate, a tongue and groove profiling has proven.
  • a spring is formed on the plate, which engages in a groove of the strip.
  • the determination of the strip on the plate is preferably carried out via an elastic deformation of the bar.
  • the groove and the spring are designed such that the surface of the bar either flush with the plate surface closes or slightly lower than the plate surface comes to rest. In this way, a constant over the entire top height of the bar is guaranteed in relation to the plate surface.
  • the tongue and groove profiling is formed according to claim 3 of a molded-in the end face of the plate groove and an integrally formed on the strip spring. Since the groove can be made relatively narrow, only relatively little material must be processed in this way from the hard plate, which has an advantageous effect on the processing time and wear of the processing tools.
  • the spring of the strip is penetrated by the transverse grooves or openings. In this way, simply vertical drainage channels are created.
  • this form in the form of two elastically spread-webs. These webs are preferably biased against the groove walls of the plates, so that a sufficient holding force of the strip is ensured in the groove.
  • the plate is provided on at least two end faces with the strips.
  • the strips could in principle be mounted on opposite end faces of the plate, adjacent plates in this case have to be rotated by 90 ° to each other.
  • abutting end faces of the plate are provided with the strips. In this way it is achieved that only a single type of plate must be used to create the coating.
  • the strip can compensate for expansions of the plate due to temperature fluctuations, it is advantageous according to claim 6, if the strip at least partially consists of an elastically deformable material.
  • the strip of rubber, latex or a polymer, preferably a polymer foam. Since the length changes of the plates to be compensated are relatively small, it is generally sufficient to create the strips only partially from the elastically deformable material.
  • the majority of the bar could basically also made of a hard material be, which in turn has a favorable effect on the Abriebeigenschaften the strip top.
  • the strip at least partially consists of metal on its visible upper side.
  • the shiny metal surface of the strip results in a particularly favorable contrast to the stone surface of the plate.
  • it gives a particularly high abrasion resistance of the strip surface.
  • the strip is flat on the side facing away from the plate.
  • the voltage applied to the bar front side of the adjacent plate is also flat, so that a simple knocking of the plate is possible in the bed.
  • the strip or the plate could be aligned at an acute angle to the plate plane extension.
  • a perpendicular orientation of the opposite side of the bar to the plate plane extension is preferred.
  • the bar according to claim 9 opposite the underside of the plate is formed shortened.
  • the bed material can partially penetrate into the joint when knocking the plate without damaging the bar or push out.
  • sealing lip is provided on the bar.
  • This sealing lip is preferably integrally formed on the strip and extends over the entire length thereof.
  • This sealing lip is resiliently against the adjacent plate and holds in particular from water, which could penetrate into the joint.
  • the sealing lip forms an elastically resilient termination to the adjacent plate, so that the joint is completely filled even with temperature fluctuations of the bar.
  • the sealing lip has at least one groove.
  • This groove preferably extends over the entire length of the strip and forms a pivot axis for the sealing lip.
  • a recess is provided into which the sealing lip can penetrate.
  • FIG. 1 shows a spatial sectional view of a covering 1, in particular a floor covering.
  • the pad 1 consists of individual plates 2, 2 ', which are tapped into a bed 3 of loose gravel. All plates 2, 2 'of the pad 1 are formed substantially the same.
  • a bar 4 is fixed, which fills a gap 4 'between the plates 2, 2'.
  • a comparable strip 4 is also provided on the plate 2 ', which, however, in FIG. 1 not visible.
  • a groove 6 is formed in an end face 5 of the plate 2, which extends parallel to the plane extent of the plate 2.
  • a spring 7 of the bar 4 engages a spring 7 of the bar 4, which is held in the groove 6 of the plate 2 in a press fit.
  • the positions of the groove 6 and the spring 7 on the plate 2 and the bar 4 are dimensioned such that the visible upper side 8 of the bar 4 comes to lie slightly below the surface 9 of the plate 2.
  • the strip 4 is formed shortened on its underside 10 relative to the plate 2, so that there is a cavity 11 between the plates 2, 2 ', the strip 4 and the bed 3. This cavity 11 can be partially filled with a gravel accumulation 12 from the bed 3 when knocking the plates 2, 2 'in the bed 3. In order for an exact leveling of the plates 2, 2 'to each other possible without the bar 4 is pushed out of its seat on the plate 2.
  • the strip 4 is flat on the side facing away from the plate 2 and the spring 7.
  • the subsequent plate 2 ' is also flat on its side facing the bar 4 end face 14, so that the plate 2' relative to the bar 4 can be moved vertically to the plane extension of the plates 2, 2 'and in the longitudinal extension of the bar 4. This facilitates knocking the plates 2, 2 'into the bed 3.
  • FIG. 2 shows a non-inventive embodiment of a covering 1, wherein like reference numerals designate like parts.
