Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Befestigungsvorrichtung für ein rohrförmiges Handlaufteil.The invention relates to a fastening device for a tubular handrail part.

Treppen stellen besonders für Ältere, Behinderte aber auch Kinder ein nicht unerhebliches Unfallrisiko dar. Zur Verbesserung der Treppensicherheit und Reduzierung der Unfallrisiken wird an Treppen daher immer öfter ein zusätzlicher zweiter Treppenhandlauf (sog. Wandhandlauf) zur beidseitigen Halterung angebracht. Für öffentlich zugängliche Gebäude wurde sogar schon gesetzlich vorgeschrieben, dass Treppen an beiden Seiten griffsichere Handläufe erhalten, die über Treppenabsätze und Fensteröffnungen sowie über die letzte Stufe zu führen sind. Um den Einbau derartiger Handläufe bzw. die Nachrüstung zu erleichtern, werden daher bereits flexible Handlaufsysteme angeboten, die aus Einzelelementen zusammengestellt und schnell und problemlos montiert werden können. So kann z.B. ein Handlauf aus Holz-, Kunststoff- oder Metallrohren zusammengestellt werden, die besonders an Ecken oder Übergängen durch spezielle Übergangs- oder Zwischenstücke miteinander verbunden werden. Hierzu müssen z.B. als Kugelgelenk oder Rundung ausgebildete Zwischenstücke an den geraden Abschnitten befestigt werden. Auch am Anfang und Ende des Handlaufs müssen geeignete Abschlusselemente vorgesehen sein. Bei einem aus rohrförmigen Abschnitten zusammensetzbaren Handlauf ergibt sich jedoch die Problematik, dass keine geeigneten Befestigungselemente vorhanden sind, die eine einfache und dennoch sichere Befestigung der Anfangs-, End-, oder Zwischenstücke ermöglichen.Stairs are particularly for older people, the disabled but also a significant accident risk. To improve the staircase security and reducing the risk of accidents stairs are therefore increasingly often an additional second handrail (so-called wall handrail) attached to both sides. For publicly accessible buildings, it has even been required by law that staircases on both sides be provided with handrails that are sure to be secure and that must be routed over landings and window openings as well as over the last step. In order to facilitate the installation of such handrails or retrofitting, therefore, flexible handrail systems are already offered, which can be assembled from individual elements and assembled quickly and easily. Thus, e.g. a handrail of wood, plastic or metal tubes are put together, which are particularly connected to each other at corners or transitions by special transition or intermediate pieces. To do this, e.g. formed as a ball joint or rounding spacers are attached to the straight sections. Also at the beginning and end of the handrail suitable end elements must be provided. In a composite of tubular sections handrail, however, the problem arises that no suitable fasteners are available, which allow a simple yet secure attachment of the beginning, end, or spacers.

Aus US 5 605 075 A ist ein Befestigungselement für ein Rohr bekannt, das ein zwischen zwei Führungsscheiben angeordnetes elastisches Einsatzelement und ein Spannelement enthält, mittels dessen der Außendurchmesser des Einsatzelements durch Zusammendrücken vergrößerbar ist. Das Spannelement enthält eine Spannschraube mit einer zentralen Gewindebohrung und eine dazugehörige Mutter.Out US 5 605 075 A a fastener for a pipe is known which includes an arranged between two guide discs elastic insert element and a clamping element, by means of which the outer diameter of the insert element can be enlarged by squeezing. The clamping element contains a clamping screw with a central threaded hole and an associated nut.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Befestigungsvorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, die eine einfache und dennoch sichere Montage ermöglicht.The object of the invention is to provide a fastening device of the type mentioned, which allows a simple yet secure installation.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine Befestigungsvorrichtung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Zweckmäßige Weiterbildungen und vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.This object is achieved by a fastening device with the features of claim 1. Advantageous developments and advantageous embodiments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.

Ein wesentlicher Vorteil des erfindungsgemäßen Befestigungsvorrichtung besteht darin, dass ein Handlauf ohne aufwändiges Ausmessen und ohne spezielle Vorarbeiten mit einfachen Handgriffen direkt an der Treppe montiert werden kann. Die aus Holz, Kunststoff oder Metall bestehenden Rohre müssen nur auf die gewünschte Länge abgeschnitten, das Befestigungselement eingesteckt und fixiert werden. Zur Verbindung mit einem weiteren Rohrstück kann dann anschließend z.B. ein Kugelgelenk oder ein anderes geeignetes Verbindungsstück in das Befestigungselement eingeschraubt und zur Verbindung genutzt werden. Über die Befestigungselemente können an dem Rohranfang bzw. dem Rohrende auch unterschiedlich gestaltete Abschlüsse oder Endkappen befestigt werden. Die Montage kann kurzfristig und ohne spezielle Fertigungs- und Montageverfahren erfolgen. Ein weiterer Vorteil der erfindungsgemäßen Ausführung liegt darin, dass eine automatische Ausrichtung der Befestigungselemente bei deren Einsatz in das Rohrende erfolgt. Die beiden Führungsscheiben, deren Außendurchmesser nur geringfügig kleiner als der Innendurchmesser der Rohre ist, sorgen dafür, dass das Befestigungselement beim Einstecken in das Rohrende nicht zur Seite kippen kann, so dass die mittige Gewindebohrung auch immer koaxial zum Rohr ausgerichtet ist. Dadurch wird die Montage eines Handlaufs erheblich vereinfacht. Zwischen den beiden Führungsscheiben sind zwei oder mehrere ring- oder hülsenförmig Einsatzelemente aus aus einem Elastomer, vorzugsweise Gummi, vorgesehen. Dadurch kann eine gute reibschlüssige Halterung des Befestigungselements innerhalb des Rohres erreicht werden. Zwischen den Einsatzelementen können auch eine oder mehrere weitere Führungsscheiben angeordnet sein.A significant advantage of the fastening device according to the invention is that a handrail can be mounted directly to the staircase without complex measuring and without special preliminary work with simple steps. The existing wood, plastic or metal pipes must be cut only to the desired length, the fastener inserted and fixed. For connection to a further piece of pipe, it is then possible to subsequently connect e.g. a ball joint or other suitable connector is screwed into the fastener and used for connection. About the fasteners differently shaped terminations or end caps can be attached to the pipe beginning or the pipe end. The assembly can be done at short notice without special manufacturing and assembly procedures. A further advantage of the embodiment according to the invention is that an automatic alignment of the fastening elements takes place when they are inserted into the pipe end. The two guide discs, whose outer diameter is only slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the tubes, ensure that the fastener can not tilt to the side when inserted into the tube end, so that the central threaded hole is always aligned coaxially to the tube. This considerably simplifies the installation of a handrail. Two or more annular or sleeve-shaped insert elements made of an elastomer, preferably rubber, are provided between the two guide disks. This allows a good frictional retention of the fastener can be achieved within the tube. Between the insert elements also one or more further guide discs can be arranged.

Weitere Besonderheiten und Vorzüge der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der beiliegenden Zeichnung, die ein bevorzugtes Ausführungsbeispiel eines Befestigungselements für ein Rohr eines Wandhandlaufs im ungespannten Zustand zeigt.Other features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the accompanying drawing which shows a preferred embodiment of a fastener for a pipe of a wall-mounted handrail in the untensioned state.

Das in der Zeichnung schematisch dargestellte Befestigungselement enthält zwei ring- oder hülsenförmige Einsatzelemente 1 und 2 aus einem elastischen Material, deren Außendurchmesser zum Einsatz in eine Bohrung oder ein rohrförmiges Teil eines Handlaufs an dessen Innendurchmesser angepasst ist. Die aus einem Elastomer, vorzugsweise Gummi oder einem ähnlichen elastischen Material bestehenden Einsatzelemente 1 und 2 werden durch eine Spanneinrichtung in Axialrichtung vorgespannt.The fastening element shown schematically in the drawing comprises two annular or sleeve-shaped insert elements 1 and 2 made of an elastic material, the outer diameter for use in a bore or a tubular part of a handrail adapted to the inner diameter. The insert elements 1 and 2, which consist of an elastomer, preferably rubber or a similar elastic material, are prestressed in the axial direction by a tensioning device.

Die Spanneinrichtung umfasst eine mit einem Außengewinde 3 versehene Spannschraube 4 mit einem Schraubenkopf 5, eine Mutter 6 und zwei formstabile Führungsscheiben 7 und 8, zwischen denen die beiden Einsatzelemente 1 und 2 angeordnet sind. Bei der gezeigten Ausführung ist der Schraubenkopf 5 der Spannschraube 3 als Zylinderkopf mit einem Innensechskant 9 zum Anziehen der Spannschraube 3 ausgeführt. Der Schraubenkopf 5 kann aber in entsprechender Weise z.B. auch mit einem Außensechskant versehen sein. Die beiden Führungsscheiben 7 und 8 mit den dazwischen befindlichen ring- bzw. hülsenförmigen Einsatzelementen 1 und 2 sind auf die Spannschraube 4 aufgesetzt und zwischen ihrem Schraubenkopf 5 und der Mutter 6 eingespannt. Durch die Spannschraube 4 verläuft eine mittige Gewindebohrung 10, in die z.B. ein Gewindestift eines Abschlusselements oder ein z.B. als Kugelgelenk ausgeführtes Verbindungsteil zur Verbindung zweier rohrförmiger Handlaufteile eingeschraubt werden kann.The clamping device comprises a provided with an external thread 3 clamping screw 4 with a screw head 5, a nut 6 and two dimensionally stable guide discs 7 and 8, between which the two insert elements 1 and 2 are arranged. In the embodiment shown, the screw head 5 of the clamping screw 3 is designed as a cylinder head with a hexagon socket 9 for tightening the clamping screw 3. However, the screw head 5 can be correspondingly, e.g. also be provided with an external hexagon. The two guide discs 7 and 8 with the annular or sleeve-shaped insert elements 1 and 2 located therebetween are placed on the clamping screw 4 and clamped between its screw head 5 and the nut 6. By the clamping screw 4 extends a central threaded bore 10, in the e.g. a threaded pin of a termination element or a e.g. designed as a ball joint connecting part for connecting two tubular handrail parts can be screwed.

Der Außendurchmesser der beiden vorzugsweise aus Metall bestehenden Führungsscheiben 7 und 8 ist derart gewählt, dass er nur geringfügig kleiner als der Innendurchmesser der Rohre oder Bohrungen ist, in die das Befestigungselement eingesetzt wird. Dadurch wird gewährleistet, dass das Befestigungselement beim Einstecken in das Rohr bzw. die Bohrung nicht zur Seite wegkippen kann. Damit wird auch automatisch die in der Befestigungsschraube befindliche Gewindebohrung für die Befestigung der Anschluss- oder Abschlussteile automatisch koaxial zum Rohr ausgerichtet, wodurch die Montage erheblich vereinfacht wird.The outer diameter of the two preferably made of metal guide discs 7 and 8 is chosen such that it is only slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the tubes or holes into which the fastener is inserted. This ensures that the fastener when plugging into the pipe or the bore can not tilt sideways. This also automatically automatically located in the mounting screw threaded hole for attaching the connection or termination parts aligned coaxially to the pipe, making installation much easier.

Die Mutter 6 ist zweckmäßigerweise verdrehfest mit der Führungsscheibe 7 verbunden. Dadurch kann sichergestellt werden, dass sich die Mutter 6 beim Festziehen der Schraube 5 nicht mitdreht. Die Drehung der Führungsscheibe 7 wird nämlich durch die beim Anziehen hohe Reibung an dem aus Gummi o.ä. bestehenden ringförmigen Einsatzelement verhindert. Die Mutter 6 kann einteilig mit der Führungsscheibe 7 ausgebildet sein. In der Führungsscheibe 7 kann auch eine geeignete Vertiefung vorgesehen sein, deren Kontur der Form der Mutter entspricht. Zwischen der Mutter 6 und der Führungsscheibe 7 kann aber auch ein Zahnring oder eine andere geeignete Verdrehsicherung angeordnet sein. Auch in der Führungsscheibe kann die Mutter vorgesehen sein.The nut 6 is suitably rotationally connected to the guide disc 7. This can ensure that the nut 6 does not rotate when tightening the screw 5. The rotation of the guide plate 7 is namely by the high friction when tightening on the rubber or similar. existing annular insert prevents. The nut 6 may be formed integrally with the guide plate 7. In the guide disc 7 may also be provided a suitable recess whose contour corresponds to the shape of the nut. But between the nut 6 and the guide plate 7 can also be arranged a toothed ring or other suitable anti-rotation. Also in the guide disk, the mother can be provided.

Der Durchmesser der ring- oder hülsenförmigen Einsatzelemente 1 und 2 ist derart gewählt, dass sie im nicht zusammengedrückten Zustand mit einem geringen radialen Spiel in ein Rohr eingesteckt werden können. Beim Anziehen der Spannschraube 5 werden die beiden ringförmigen Einsatzelemente 1 und 2 in Axialrichtung zusammengedrückt, wobei sie sich radial aufweiten und an die Innenwand des Rohres anlegen. Das Befestigungselement wird dann unter Reibschluss fest und sicher innerhalb des Rohres gehalten. Durch die beiden Führungsscheiben 7 und 8 wird ein Verkippen innerhalb des Rohres verhindert, so daß die in der Spannschraube 4 vorgesehene Gewindebohrung 10 koaxial zum Rohr ausgerichtet ist. Ein Gewindestift eines Verbindungs- oder Abschlussteils kann so ohne Probleme in die Befestigungseinrichtung eingeschraubt werden. Es ist keine aufwändige Ausrichtung erforderlich.The diameter of the annular or sleeve-shaped insert elements 1 and 2 is selected such that they can be inserted in the uncompressed state with a small radial clearance in a pipe. When tightening the clamping screw 5, the two annular insert elements 1 and 2 are compressed in the axial direction, wherein they expand radially and create the inner wall of the tube. The fastener is then held firmly under friction and safely within the tube. Through the two guide discs 7 and 8 tilting within the tube is prevented, so that the provided in the clamping screw 4 threaded bore 10 is aligned coaxially with the tube. A threaded pin of a connecting or end part can be screwed into the fastening device without problems. No elaborate alignment is required.

Die Erfindung ist nicht auf das vorstehend beschriebene Ausfühnmgsbeispiel beschränkt. So können anstelle der zwei Einsatzelemente auch mehr als zwei Einsatzelemente vorgesehen werden.The invention is not limited to the embodiment described above. Thus, more than two insert elements can be provided instead of the two insert elements.
