Description

Cover for a surface of building icons, floors, roofs or facades

description

The invention relates to a cover for a surface of building icons, floors, roofs or facades, which comprises a plurality of basic profiles arranged parallel to one another.

Such covers are known from practice in a variety of different configurations. They are used to cover facades or roofs over their entire surface, whereby the basic profiles are arranged directly on the facade or roof and are connected to each other, for example, by folding. The basic profiles are generally individually adapted to the area to be covered in each case and have an essentially rectangular base area. With such a cover, it turns out to be problematic that the connection between two basic profiles requires a relatively high level of manual skill.

It is an object of the invention to provide a cover of the type mentioned that is easy to assemble.

According to the invention, the object is achieved in that the basic profiles are arranged at a distance from one another and for connecting two adjacent basic profiles covering profile extending over the entire length of the basic profiles is provided.

These measures make it possible to assemble the basic profiles and covering profiles, which are made of a weather-resistant material, such as aluminum or a plastic, without the use of tools by simply joining them to a cover, with two basic profiles initially being arranged at a certain distance from one another on the surface to be covered and be connected by means of the cover profile. In this way, a closed cover can be produced with simple means and with a minimum of manual skill.

The basic profile preferably has a U-shaped cross section, the legs serving to hold covering profiles and the web serving to rest on the surface to be covered. The basic profile therefore has a relatively easy-to-produce contour, which can be produced inexpensively, for example, in an extrusion process. In addition, the basic profile designed in this way represents a type of water drainage channel. Advantageously, a plurality of approaches Y-shaped in cross section extend from the web of the basic profile. The lugs are used to attach a covering that conceals the cover and, for example, are molded onto the basic profile at a spacing from one another such that they reliably support the covering.

The basic profile is expediently rectangular. That in a continuous manufacturing process, such as extrusion, extrusion or drawing, the length of the basic profile is adapted to the area to be covered, so that there are no connection points in this dimension that have a negative effect on the tightness of the cover or its visual impression.

According to an advantageous development of the invention, the covering profile has a U-shaped cross section, the legs being designed such that they overlap the legs of the basic profile and the web connecting the legs rests on the surface. Two basic profiles spaced apart from one another are thus connected to one another by simply placing the covering profile, the width of the covering profile determining the distance between the two basic profiles, which is why they are aligned with one another when the covering profile is put on. Due to the support of the web of the covering profile and the webs of the basic profiles on the surface to be covered, there is an optically harmonious appearance of the cover, which spans the surface to be covered without gaps. Furthermore, the geometry of the covering profile as well as that of the basic profile must be manufactured in a continuous manufacturing process.

To securely fix the base profiles by means of the cover profile, each leg of the cover profile advantageously merges outwardly into a horizontal angled portion and a subsequent vertical angled portion, forming a longitudinal groove into which the associated leg of the base profile engages. Because of this configuration, the penetration of water or Dirt in the cover is much more difficult. To completely prevent this, it is possible to introduce a sealing adhesive into the longitudinal groove of the cover profile during assembly of the cover and thus to connect the base profile to the cover profile in a permanently sealed manner.

In order to attach the covering concealing the cover, two extensions, which form an obtuse angle, are preferably integrally formed on the horizontal angled section of each leg of the cover profile and extend over the entire length of the cover profile. For example, a sealing adhesive can be injected between the extensions in order to fasten the cladding.

According to a further development of the concept of the invention, on the outer vertical bend of each leg of the covering profile, a nose extending over its entire length is formed on the end and engages in a recess formed on the web of the basic profile. This ensures a more extensive fixation of the covering profile with the basic profile, a sealing adhesive into which the nose is inserted can be injected into the recess.

In order that the legs of the basic profile that engage with the covering profile can be completely embedded in a sealing adhesive, each leg of the covering profile expediently extends outward at an obtuse angle. In order to provide a longitudinal end for the cover, an end profile and an adjustable end profile that can interact with each other preferably form a longitudinal boundary of the cover, the end profile being connected to a cover profile, which in turn is placed on a base profile. This makes it possible to create a cover of any width using base profiles and cover profiles of the same width, since the cover can be adapted to the area to be covered by means of the adjustable end profiles and end profiles arranged on the cover on both sides.

In order for the cover to reliably protect the area to be covered from environmental influences, the end profile expediently overlaps the end profile. A sealing adhesive can again be present in the overlap area, so that no water or dust can penetrate the cover here.

For simple implementation of the adjustment option between the end profile and the cover profile, the end profile preferably has a longitudinal wave profile on the side facing the surface to be covered, which corresponds to a wave profile of the end profile.

As an alternative to this, the end profile on the side facing the surface to be covered has a comb profile running in the longitudinal direction, which corresponds to the longitudinal grooves of the end profile. The one engaging in the longitudinal grooves Comb profile offers a more precise adjustment option than the wave profile with an improved mounting of the end profile on the end profile.

According to a further embodiment of the invention, the rectangular end profile is provided on its one long side at the end with a right-angled locking leg for engaging in the longitudinal groove of the cover profile, which extends over the entire length of the end profile. This provides a reliable mounting of the end profile through the cover profile. The end profile can be created by simply placing the cover profile with an adjacent basic profile, if necessary. using a sealing adhesive.

In order to fasten a covering or overlay on the cover, a cross-sectionally Y-shaped extension is expediently formed on the other long side of the end profile, which extends over the entire length of the end profile. Here, the Y-shaped extension is aligned in such a way that its long leg is oriented essentially perpendicular to the surface to be covered and the two short arms serve to support the cladding or cover. A sealing adhesive can in turn be introduced between the two short arms that form a V-shape.

The side of the rectangular end profile opposite the profiled side is expediently designed to be flat on the surface to be covered. So that a covering or support covering the cover is also supported at the end, a support with a Y-shaped cross-section extends from the profiled side of the end profile in the region of a longitudinal side not covered by the end profile over the entire length of the end profile.

To form a water drainage channel, the longitudinal side of the end profile assigned to the support is advantageously angled such that an angle leg extends at right angles to the side with the wave profile.

In order to provide the end of the cover both with a water drainage channel and with an overlap for a boundary edge of the surface to be covered, according to a development of the invention, the longitudinal side of the end profile assigned to the support has a T-shaped cross section.

For a permanent connection, the end profile is expediently glued in a sealed manner to the end profile in the area of coverage. Furthermore, according to a further development of the inventive concept, the approach of the end profile and the support of the end profile are oriented such that a fillet groove points in an opposite direction in the surface to be covered. Thus, the approach and the support for spaced storage of any supports on the cover. The covering profile is preferably glued in a sealed manner to the basic profiles or to a basic profile and an end profile. According to the invention, the cover is used in a panel laying system, the approaches of the basic profile and / or the extensions of the covering profile and / or the approach of the end profile and / or the support of the end profile being used to support panels. The plates are expediently fixed with the interposition of a sealing adhesive. Such a tile laying system is used in particular when renovating a balcony or flat roof to protect the area to be covered from the weather and to provide it with a new covering. The cover avoids complex processing of the surface to be covered with sealing agents. Furthermore, the cover itself is watertight and serves as a water drain and for the sealed support of plates that can be glued to the extensions, shoulders or supports. This provides a relatively easy-to-use panel laying system that can be used without any special manual skills for the sealed support, for example on a balcony or a flat roof.

In order to effectively prevent water, in particular rainwater, from penetrating under the cover, the base profile and / or the cover profile and / or the end profile and / or the end profile are glued to a rubber film which extends over the edge of the surface to be covered. The rubber film can also be connected, for example glued, to an outer wall of a building adjoining the surface to be covered. For the collection and drainage of water that flows over the cover, brackets for floating storage of a circumferential gutter are expediently attached to the outside of the face of the surface to be covered. The brackets can also be designed to fix vertical railing rods. The rubber film is preferably glued to the inside of the leg of the rain gutter facing the surface.

Preferably, the leg of the rain gutter facing away from the surface bears an angle which extends over the gutter and is supported with the interposition of a seal on the end faces of edge-side plates or the leg of the end profile running in front of the plates. The removable bracket for cleaning covers the rain gutter and visually conceals it. If the water gets through the joints of the plates on the cover that guides the water to the gutter, the angle does not have a negative effect on the function of the gutter.

It goes without saying that the features mentioned above and still to be explained below can be used not only in the respectively specified combination but also in other combinations. The scope of the present invention is defined only by the claims.

The cover 1 is used in a panel laying system 2, which is designed to support panels 3 on a balcony 4 of a house. In order to align the cover 1 in an inclination required for a water drain from the balcony 4, a wedge 5 made of a bloated - foamed - polystyrene (EPS) is arranged on the balcony 4, on which the cover 1 rests with at least an intermediate layer of a rubber film 6 , wherein the wedge 5 tapers starting from a wall of the house in the direction of the opposite free balcony side. The rubber film 6 is attached to the associated house wall to prevent the ingress of water by means of a sealing adhesive.

The cover 1 is composed of a plurality of basic profiles 7 which are spaced apart from one another and which are covered by covering profiles 8 are connected together. Each cover profile 8 is U-shaped in cross-section, with each leg 9 merging outwardly into a horizontal bend and a subsequent vertical bend to form a longitudinal groove 10 into which one leg 11 of the base profile, which is also U-shaped in cross-section 7 engages. On the horizontal bend of each leg 9 of the covering profile 8 two projections 12 are formed on the outside opposite one another, enclosing an obtuse angle, on which plates 3 rest. A sealing adhesive for fastening the plates 3 is applied between the extensions 12 of each leg 9 of the covering profile 8. In order to provide a sealed, water-impermeable cover 1, the covering profile 8 is also glued in a sealed manner to the respectively assigned basic profiles 7 by introducing an adhesive into the longitudinal grooves 10 of the legs 9 of the covering profiles 8. So that the cover also withstands relatively raw loads, both the webs 13 of the basic profiles 7 and the webs 14 of the covering profiles 8 are aligned parallel to the associated surface of the wedge 5 and rest on the entire surface thereof. In addition, both the basic profiles 7 and the covering profiles 8 extend over the entire depth of the balcony 4 to be covered, namely from the front of the house to the opposite end of the balcony 4.

In an alternative embodiment, from the web 13 of the basic profile 7, a plurality of lugs 27 with a Y-shaped cross-section go out into the open, the distance between them corresponds to the external dimension of a plate 3. On the web 13 of the basic profile 7 there is a recess 28 immediately adjacent to the legs 11 for receiving a nose 29 which is integrally formed on the end at the outer vertical angle of each leg 9 of the covering profile 8 and extends away from it over its entire length. Adhesive 30 is located in the recess 28 and on the outside of the leg 11 of the base profile 7 for the sealed attachment of the cover profile 8.

In order to adapt the cover 1 to different widths of construction icons 4, an end profile 15 and an end profile 16 interacting with it in an adjustable manner are provided on the end side of the cover 1. The end profile 15 has on its one long side an arresting leg 17 which extends at right angles at one end and is inserted into the longitudinal groove 10 of the covering profile 8, the covering profile 8 holding an associated basic profile 7 with its further longitudinal groove 10. On the longitudinal side of the end profile 15 opposite the locking leg 17, a cross-sectionally Y-shaped extension 18 for supporting the plates 3 is formed, a sealing adhesive for fixing the plates 3 being introduced into a groove 19 in the extension. On the side facing the balcony to be covered, the end profile 15 has a longitudinally extending wave profile 20, which corresponds to a wave profile 21 of the end profile 16, thereby ensuring adjustability of the end profile 15 with the overlapped end profile 16. The side of the end profile 16 opposite the wave profile 21 is designed to rest on the wedge 5. In order to provide a support for the plates 3 in the edge area of the cover 1 from the wave-profiled side of the end profile 16 in the area of its longitudinal side not covered by the end profile 15 a cross-sectionally Y-shaped support 22, in the groove 23 of which in turn a sealing adhesive for fixing the plates 3 is introduced. To provide a water drainage channel in the edge-side region of the cover 1, the long side of the end profile 16 associated with the support 22 is angled such that an angle leg 24 extends at right angles to the side with the wave profile 21. As an alternative to this, the long side of the end profile 16 associated with the support 22 has a T-shaped cross section, so that a leg 25 extends essentially parallel to the support 22 and a leg 26 extends over the wedge 5 and an associated upper edge of the balcony 4. In the overlap area, the end profile 15 is sealed and sealed with the end profile 16. As an alternative to the wave profile 20, the end profile 15 has a comb profile 31 running in the longitudinal direction on the side facing the surface to be covered, which corresponds to longitudinal grooves 32 of the end profile 16.

In order to collect and drain the water discharged from the cover 1, which passes through the joints of the plates 3 onto the cover 1, 4 brackets 34 are attached to the floating end faces 33 of the balcony for floating storage of a peripheral gutter 35. Each of the brackets 34 comprises a retaining flange 38 screwed onto the balcony 4, onto which a bracket 36 with retaining lugs 37 on the top is slidably fitted, the retaining flange 35 also being used to fix a vertical one Guardrail serves. The gutter 35 is slidably mounted on the retaining lugs 37. Due to the displaceability of the bracket 36 on the holding flange 38 and the displaceability of the gutter 35 on the bracket 36, the gutter 35 can deform in the event of temperature fluctuations without being subject to damaging stresses. So that the water from the cover 1 is reliably conducted into the gutter 35, the rubber film 6 is glued to the cover 1 on the one hand and to the inside of the leg 39 of the gutter 35 facing the balcony 4, on the one hand. The leg 40 of the gutter 35 facing away from the balcony 4 carries an angle 41 which extends over the gutter 35 and which is supported with the interposition of a seal 42 on the end faces of edge-side plates 3 or the leg 26 of the end profile 16 running in front of the plates 3. The angle 41 can be removed for cleaning the rain gutter 35.
