Definitions
- the invention relates to a leveling foot for supporting a Profile bar on a base, with a first base plate, a transverse to the first base plate first Mounting plate for the profile bar and with a first Adjustment device for adjusting the inclination of the profile bar.
- Such feet are well known. So describes For example, DE 198 42 297 a designated as a pedestal Leveling foot for fixing profiled bars. Of the Base consists of a foot plate and two on the foot plate molded walls which are angled to each other, wherein the Walls are attached to at least one profile bar. Furthermore this socket has a setting in the broadest sense to be designated device on for adjustment the inclination of the profile bar. Also US4923157 a leveling foot in which a fixed profile bar a single parking position may have.
- leveling feet which consist of a base plate consist, at its four corners support feet by means of screws are adjustable in height.
- the invention is therefore based on the object, a Setting foot of the type mentioned above, with technical simple means a safe and at the same time easy Adjusting the inclination of the profile bar allows.
- the essence of the invention is that substantially by changing the inclination of the adjusting plate to the base plate also the inclination of the mounting plate and thus also the inclination of the attached profile bar itself changes.
- the free ends the mounting plate and the adjusting plate by means of a first Support plate are releasably or permanently connected.
- This second adjustment can as well as the configured first adjustment with the exception of the support plate be. So it is possible that the inclination of the second mounting plate to the second base plate means one near the free end of the second actuator plate arranged second adjusting screw is adjustable, which is supported on the second base plate or received therein is.
- the adjustable foot only on to set up the underground. But often the need arises to anchor this adjustable foot firmly to the ground. Then it is advantageous if the first or second Base plates are fastened to the substrate.
- the platen has an opening corresponding to one shaped projection which on the side of the second mounting plate extends the second base plate.
- the profile bar to connect to the mounting plate or plates.
- brackets or adhesive bonds conceivable.
- the profile bar by means of bolts to the first mounting plate or to connect to the second mounting plate.
- the first and second mounting plates are provided with holes for receiving Serve fastening bolts for the profile bar.
- This adjustable foot can be made in many ways become. It is advantageous, however, if he uses injection molding or extrusion is made.
- the choice is with respect to the material big for the adjustable foot. It has proved to be advantageous if it is plastic or metal or a combination consists of both.
- FIGS a setting foot 10 described in more detail.
- FIGS a setting foot 10 described in more detail.
- FIGS a setting foot 10 described in more detail.
- the adjustable foot 10 for supporting a profile bar 12 a substrate consists of a base plate 14, on the extending transversely to a mounting plate 16 connected is. This basic unit is therefore one from the side considered angle.
- the adjustable foot 10 with a first adjustment 18 equipped to adjust the Inclination of the profiled bar 12 in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the Base plate 14 is used.
- the fastening plate 16 has a first adjusting plate 20, which are transverse to the mounting plate 16 in the longitudinal direction the base plate 14 extends.
- This adjusting plate 20 is integral with the in the embodiment shown Mounting plate 16 is formed.
- this adjusting plate 20 on the mounting plate 16th via screw or welded joints or the like to fix.
- the adjustability of the inclination of the adjusting plate 20 with respect the base plate 14 takes place in the embodiment shown by means of a first adjusting screw 22, which in arranged near the free end of the adjusting plate 20 and is supported on the base plate 40 or received therein is.
- first support plate 24 releasably or inextricably linked as shown in the figures. It is the first set screw 22 between the free end of Stellplatte 20 and the approach of the support plate 24 is arranged.
- This arrangement of the adjustable foot described so far 10 is in and of itself sufficient to the inclination or angular position of the profile bar 12 set and adjust. there lies the front side of the profile bar 12 on the ground on and the base plate 14 is optionally with the Underground firmly connected.
- the base plate 14 has an extension in the form of a support plate 26, opposite to the actuator plate 20 extends.
- This support plate 26 points to the mounted state to the profile bar 12 facing surface one in this Fall ramped slope, so that the profile bar 12 at least in the longitudinal direction of the support plate 26 is tilted, but still sufficiently supported.
- the angular position of the profile bar 12 in Adjust room when it comes to positioning the adjustable foot 10 does not arrive on the ground.
- This adjustable foot 10 can therefore be rotated so that the profile bar 12 is vertical extends to the ground.
- a second adjustment 28 provided, with the exception of the support plate 26th similar to the adjustable foot 10 of the first two embodiments is executed.
- This second adjustment device 28 is therefore made a second base plate 30 of a transverse to the second base plate 30 extending second mounting plate 32 and out a second control plate 34.
- This second control plate 34th is transverse to the second mounting plate 32 in the longitudinal direction the second base plate 30.
- the inclination of the second Stellplatte 34 is also adjustable, via a second adjusting screw 36, which is near the free end of the second adjusting plate 34 is arranged and on the second Base plate 30 is supported or added to this.
- the free ends of the second Mounting plate 36 and the second actuator plate 34 by means a second support plate 38 in the same manner as in the connected to the above-described embodiments.
- These second adjuster 20 is transverse to the first mounting plate 16 positionable so that two adjacent Surfaces of the profile bar 12 to the first mounting plate 16 or to the second mounting plate 32 connectable are.
- the second adjustment 28 only as described above to position and if necessary to anchor with the subsoil.
- the fit of the projection 42 with the opening 40 completely positive fit, so that to adjust the Inclination by means of the second adjuster 28 of this Projection 42 is also slightly inclined or bent.
- the fit of the projection 42 in the opening 40 in such a way that a change in position the projection 42 without its plastic deformation possible is.
- the adjustable foot 10 When it comes to a fixed positioning of the adjustable foot 10 optionally together with the second adjustment device 28 arrives, should the adjustable foot 10, in particular the first base plate 14, the platen 26 and the second Base plate 30 be connected to the ground. To are at the free ends of the first base plate 14, the platen 26 and the second base plate 30 through holes 48 provided receive the fastening bolts, not shown, then possibly with dowels in the underground intervention.
- fastening bolts 50 can either be directly in the profile bar 12, for example, as a self-tapping Engage screws. In many cases, but other profile bars 12 related, with longitudinal undercut grooves 46 are provided. In these grooves 46 can then holding parts be provided, which are, for example, sliding blocks, in which then engage the mounting bolts 50.
- All embodiments of the adjustable foot 10 can by means of Injection molding or extrusion molding are produced, wherein as a material plastic or metal or a combination can be chosen from it. But there are other materials and manufacturing facilities available.
- adjustable foot 10 With the adjustable foot 10 according to the invention it is possible the angular position of a profile bar 12 in the room fine, safe or stable and, above all, easy to adjust.
