Description

Pflasterstein paving stone
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Pflasterstein mit vorzugsweise senkrecht zur Verlege¬ ebene gerichteten Seitenflanken, der an mindestens einer Seitenflanke mindestens zwei Verbundelemente mit unterschiedlicher Breite aufweist, die mit den Verbund¬ elementen eines benachbarten Steins korrespondieren.The invention relates to a paving stone with side flanks, preferably directed perpendicularly to the laying plane, which has at least one composite element of different width on at least one side flank, which correspond to the composite elements of an adjacent stone.
Pflastersteine, insbesondere für den Straßenbau, werden aus Gründen der Ver¬ schiebesicherheit oftmals als Verbundsysteme ausgeführt. Diese Verbundsysteme beruhen auf dem Prinzip, dass auf einer Steinflanke im Raster angeordnete Ver¬ bundelemente in die Zwischenräume der im Raster angeordneten Verbundelemente auf der Flanke des benachbarten Steins eingreifen, und im Zusammenwirken mit der Fugenfüllung ein Verschieben der Steine gegeneinander verhindern. Weit ver¬ breitet ist dabei das sogenannte „umlaufende System", bei dem auf allen Seiten- flanken des Pflastersteins die Verbundelemente diametral angeordnet sind und in einem vorgegebenen Raster ringsum ineinander greifen, unabhängig von der Lage der Steine zueinander. Bei diesem System weisen die Steine eine definierte Ober- und Unterseite auf. Beim Verlegen der Pflastersteine ist es anzustreben, dass die Steine möglichst keinen Kontakt untereinander haben, vielmehr durch Fugenmate¬ rial voneinander getrennt sind. Hierdurch ist gewährleistet, dass keine Beschädi- gungen des Pflastergefüges auf Grund von Temperaturschwankungen und damit verbundenen Materialdehnungen auftreten können. In der Praxis ist jedoch häufig festzustellen, dass die Verlegung Stein an Stein erfolgt, da dieses schneller und auf den ersten Blick wirtschaftlicher ist.Paving stones, in particular for road construction, are often designed as composite systems for reasons of sliding safety. These composite systems are based on the principle that Ver¬ arranged on a stone sidewall in Ver¬ mesh elements intervene in the interstices of the arranged in grid composite elements on the flank of the adjacent stone, and prevent in cooperation with the joint filling displacement of the stones against each other. Widely used is the so-called "circulating system", in which the composite elements are arranged diametrically on all side flanks of the paving stone and engage in one another in a predetermined pattern, regardless of the position the stones to each other. In this system, the stones have a defined top and bottom. When laying the paving stones, it is desirable that the stones have as little as possible any contact with each other, but rather are separated from one another by joint material. This ensures that no damage to the paving structure due to temperature fluctuations and associated material expansion can occur. In practice, however, it is often found that the laying is done stone by stone, as this is faster and at first glance more economical.
Zur Vermeidung dieses Nachteils ist es aus der EP 1 036 882 B1 bekannt, Kunst¬ steine für Pflasterzwecke mit Verbundabschnitten zu versehen, an denen ein Ab¬ standhalter angeordnet ist, um einen Mindestabstand zwischen den Steinen/Ver¬ bundelementen zu sichern. Dabei ist die Fläche zum Kontaktieren eines benachbar¬ ten Steins so klein ausgebildet ist, dass sie zwar beim Verlegen die Idealposition des Steins mit dem Soll-Fugenabstand sichert, jedoch beim Abrütteln des verleg¬ ten Pflasters zumindest teilweise zerstört wird. Nachteilig an den vorbekannten Systemen ist, dass diese auf Steine mit größeren Maßtolleranzen (beispielsweise Klinker aus gebranntem Ton) nicht anwendbar sind: Dies ist bedingt dadurch, dass die Verbundelemente bei größeren Maßdifferenzen der Steine nicht mehr ineinan- der greifen. Die für den Verbund notwendige Verzahnung kommt daher nicht zu¬ stande. Wird der Abstand zwischen den Verbundelementen so groß gewählt, dass die notwendige Toleranz bei unterschiedlich großen Steinen gegeben ist, führt dies zu einem übergroßen Verlegespielraum, was in der Praxis zu Verlegefehlern führt. Die Addition kleinerer Maßtoleranzen über mehrere Steine hinweg führt zum Ver- lassen des Verbundrasters, was eine Schwächung oder sogar den Verlust der notwendigen Verbundwirkung zur Folge haben kann.To avoid this disadvantage, it is known from EP 1 036 882 B1 to provide artificial stones for paving purposes with composite sections on which a spacer is arranged in order to ensure a minimum distance between the stones / composite elements. In this case, the surface for contacting a neighboring stone is so small that, while it secures the ideal position of the stone with the desired joint spacing during laying, it is at least partially destroyed when shaking the installed plaster. A disadvantage of the known systems is that they are not applicable to stones with larger Maßtolleranzen (for example clinker of fired clay): This is due to the fact that the composite elements no longer interlock with larger dimensional differences of the stones. The interlocking required for the composite is therefore inappropriate. If the distance between the composite elements chosen so large that the necessary tolerance for different sized stones is given, this leads to an oversized installation margin, which leads in practice to laying errors. The addition of smaller dimensional tolerances over several stones leads to the omission of the composite grid, which can lead to a weakening or even the loss of the necessary composite effect.
Hier will die Erfindung Abhilfe schaffen. Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Pflasterstein mit Verbundsystem zur Sicherung gegen Verschiebung im Pflastergefüge bei horizontal auftretenden Kräften zu schaffen, das auch bei grö¬ ßeren Maßtoleranzen der Steine, wie beispielsweise bei Klinkern aus gebranntem Ton, diese Funktion erfüllt und die Möglichkeiten zum direkten Kontakt von verleg¬ tem Stein zu verlegtem Stein minimiert. Gemäß der Erfindung wird diese Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, dass mindestens ein Verbundelement eine Breite aufweist, die im Wesentlichen der lichten Weite zwischen zwei benachbarten Verbundelementen eines benachbarten Pflastersteins entspricht.The invention aims to remedy this situation. The invention has for its object to provide a paving stone with composite system to protect against displacement in the paving structure with horizontally occurring forces, which fulfills this function even with greater ßeren dimensional tolerances of stones, such as clinker clay, and the possibilities for direct Minimized contact between damaged stone and laid stone. According to the invention this object is achieved achieved in that at least one composite element has a width which corresponds substantially to the clear width between two adjacent composite elements of an adjacent paving stone.
Mit der Erfindung ist ein Pflasterstein mit Verbundsystem zur Sicherung gegen Verschiebung im Pflastergefüge bei horizontal auftretenden Kräften geschaffen, der auch bei größeren Maßtoleranzen der Steine, wie beispielsweise bei Klinkern aus gebranntem Ton, diese Funktion erfüllt und die Möglichkeiten zum direkten Kontakt von verlegtem Stein zu verlegtem Stein minimiert.With the invention, a paving stone is provided with composite system for protection against displacement in the paving structure with horizontally occurring forces, which fulfills this function even with larger dimensional tolerances of the stones, such as clinker clay, and the opportunities for direct contact of laid stone laid to Stone minimized.
Durch die im Verhältnis zu bekannten Verbundelementen breite Ausführung ist eine punktuelle Fixierung der benachbarten Steine gegeneinander erreicht. Auf diese Weise ist verhindert, dass sich Maßdifferenzen oder Verlegefehler über meh¬ rere Steine hinweg addieren, und damit das Verbundsystem gefährden können. Es entsteht über die gesamte Verlegefläche ein Netz von Fixierungspunkten als we¬ sentliches Element der Verbundwirkung. Die Maßdifferenzen einzelner Steine kön¬ nen sich nicht über die Fläche addieren und die Verbundwirkung gefährden. Inner¬ halb des Fixierungsnetzes werden kleine Einzelfehler jeweils in der nächsten Fuge aufgenommen. Dadurch können die Fugen geringfügig in der Breite variieren, ohne dass dadurch die Verbundwirkung gefährdet wird. Gleichzeitig erlauben die als Fixierungselemente fungierenden breiten Verbundelemente weite Kammern zur Aufnahme gröberen und wirksameren Fugenmaterials in den Fugen, ohne dass dadurch die Gefahr gravierender Verlegefehler entsteht. Darüber hinaus ist der Einsatz dieser Fixierungselemente auch bei Verbundsystemen ohne spezielle An- forderungen sinnvoll, da die seitliche Fixierung der Steine zueinander auf das ab¬ solute Minimum an Kontaktgraten reduziert ist. Auch der Formenbau ist dadurch vereinfacht und besonders wirtschaftlich.Due to the wide in comparison with known composite elements execution a punctual fixation of the adjacent stones is achieved against each other. In this way it is prevented that dimensional differences or laying errors add up over several stones and thus endanger the composite system. This results in a network of fixing points over the entire laying surface as a significant element of the composite effect. The dimensional differences of individual stones can not add up over the area and endanger the composite effect. Within the fixation network, small individual faults are recorded in each case in the next joint. As a result, the joints can vary slightly in width, without endangering the composite effect. At the same time, the wide composite elements acting as fixing elements allow wide chambers to accommodate coarser and more effective joint material in the joints, without the risk of serious laying errors. In addition, the use of these fixing elements is also useful in composite systems without special requirements, since the lateral fixation of the stones to each other is reduced to the absolute minimum of contact burrs. Even the mold making is simplified and particularly economical.
In Weiterbildung der Erfindung weisen jeweils zwei gegenüberliegende Seitenflan- ken die gleiche Anzahl an breiten Verbundelementen auf, wobei vorzugsweise je Flanke ein Verbundelement angeordnet ist und die breiten Verbundelemente ge¬ genüberliegender Flanken diametral angeordnet sind. Hierdurch ist die Herstellung eines gleichmäßigen Verbundpflasters ohne Verschiebefehler ermöglicht. In Ausbildung der Erfindung weist mindestens ein breites Verbundelement eine Puffertasche auf. Die Puffertasche fängt zwangsläufig angeschobenes Bettungsmaterial auf, welches dann als Puffer zwischen den Steinen wirkt. Hier¬ durch wird einem Kontakt zweier benachbarter Steine untereinander weiter entge- gengewirkt.In a further development of the invention, two opposing side flanks each have the same number of wide composite elements, wherein preferably one flank is arranged on each composite element and the wide composite elements of opposite flanks are arranged diametrically. This allows the production of a uniform composite plaster without displacement error. In an embodiment of the invention, at least one wide composite element has a buffer pocket. The buffer bag inevitably starts pushed bedding material, which then acts as a buffer between the stones. Hier¬ by a further contact of two adjacent stones is counteracted.
Vorzugsweise ist mindestens eine Unterkante an dem Pflasterstein ausgebildet ist, die scharfkantig ist. Hierdurch wird ein gleichmäßiges Anschieben des Bettungsmaterials unterstützt.Preferably, at least one lower edge is formed on the paving stone, which is sharp-edged. As a result, a uniform pushing of the bedding material is supported.
In weiterer Ausbildung der Erfindung ist mindestens ein Zwischenraum zwischen zwei schmalen Verbundelementen mit einer Aufdickung versehen. Diese Distanz¬ fläche wirkt ebenfalls einem flächigen Kontakt zweier benachbarter Steine entge¬ gen.In a further embodiment of the invention, at least one intermediate space between two narrow composite elements is provided with a thickening. This distance area likewise counteracts a two-dimensional contact of two adjacent stones.
In anderer Ausbildung der Erfindung ist der Zwischenraum zwischen zwei Verbuπ- delementen deutlich größer, als die Breite eines schmalen Verbundselementes. Hierdurch werden weite Spielräume zwischen den Verbundelementen geschaffen, die zum Beispiel bei Steinen mit größeren Maßdifferenzen erforderlich sind, oder bei gröberem Fugenmaterial erwünscht sein können.In another embodiment of the invention, the gap between two verbuπ- delementes is significantly greater than the width of a narrow composite element. As a result, wide margins between the composite elements are created, which are required for example in stones with larger dimensional differences, or may be desirable for coarser grout material.

Der als Ausführungsbeispiel gewählte Pflasterstein 1 ist aus Beton, Klinker, ge¬ branntem Ton oder anderen, für Pflasterflächen einsetzbaren Materialien herge- stellt. Der Pflasterstein 1 besteht aus einem Grundkörper 2 mit Verbundelementen 3 und 4. Im Ausführungsbeispiel nach den Figuren 1 und 4 bis 7 hat der Pflaster¬ stein 1 die Form eines Quaders. Im Ausführungsbeispiel nach Figur 2 hat der Pfla¬ sterstein 1 eine hektagonale Form; im Ausführungsbeispiel nach Figur 3 hat der Pflasterstein 1 eine oktogonale Form. Andere Gestaltungen der Pflastersteine sind ebenfalls möglich.The paving stone 1 chosen as an exemplary embodiment is made of concrete, clinker, fired clay or other materials which can be used for paved surfaces. The paving stone 1 consists of a base body 2 with composite elements 3 and 4. In the exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 1 and 4 to 7, the paving stone 1 has the shape of a cuboid. In the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 2, the paving stone 1 has a hektagonale form; in the embodiment of Figure 3, the paving stone 1 has an octagonal shape. Other designs of paving stones are also possible.
Der Grundkörper 2 weist eine begeh- und befahrbare Oberseite 21 , eine dem Un¬ tergrund zugewandte Unterseite 22 sowie zwischen Ober- und Unterseite ausgebildete Seitenflanken 23 auf. Die Unterseite 22 ist begrenzt durch eine umlaufende Unterkante 24, die scharfkantig ausgeführt ist.The main body 2 has a walk-on and passable upper side 21, an underside 22 facing the lower surface, and side flanks 23 formed between the upper and lower sides. The bottom 22 is limited by a peripheral lower edge 24, which is designed sharp-edged.
Auf den Seitenflanken 23 des Pflastersteins 1 gemäß Figur 1 sind in gleichmäßi¬ gen Abständen vertikale, schmale Verbundelemente 3 angeordnet. Die Verbund¬ elemente 3 sind dabei annähernd halbzylindrisch ausgeführt. Ein oder mehrere Verbundelemente 3 können in größerer horizontaler Tiefe ausgeführt sein und da¬ mit als vorstehender Abstandhalter dienen. Im Bereich eines stirnseitigen Endes des Pflastersteins 1 ist an den beiden Seitenflanken 23 der Längsseiten jeweils im Wesentlichen diametral zueinander ein breites Verbundelement 4 angeordnet. Das Verbundelement 4 weist im Ausführungsbeispiel etwa die Breite von zwei Ver- bundelementen 3 auf. Entlang seiner Vertikalachse ist in das Verbundelement 4 eine Puffertasche 41 eingebracht. Die Puffertasche 41 weist dabei ein annähernd halbzylindrisches Profil auf. Die Pflastersteine 1 nach den Ausführungsbeispielen der Figuren 2 und 3 bestehen ebenfalls aus einem Grundkörper 2, und weisen Oberseiten 21 und Unterseiten 22 sowie dazwischen ausgebildeten Seitenflanken 23 auf. Auch eine scharfkantige Unterkante 24 ist vorgesehen. Die Pflastersteine 1 nach den Figuren 2 und 3 wei- sen ebenfalls Verbundelemente 3 und 4 auf, die zu denjenigen des Ausführungs¬ beispiels nach Figur 1 vergleichbar ausgestaltet sind. Die breiten Verbundelemente 4 sind im Ausführungsbeispiel nach Figur 2 an zwei zueinander parallel ausgerich¬ teten Seitenflanken 23 diametral zueinander angeordnet. Im Gegensatz dazu weist das Ausführungsbeispiel nach Figur 3 vier breite Verbundelemente 4 auf, von de- nen jeweils zwei an zueinander parallelen Seitenflanken 23 ebenfalls diametral ge¬ genüberliegend angeordnet sind.On the side flanks 23 of the paving stone 1 according to FIG. 1, vertical, narrow composite elements 3 are arranged at regular intervals. The Verbund¬ elements 3 are designed approximately semi-cylindrical. One or more composite elements 3 can be designed in a greater horizontal depth and serve da¬ as a projecting spacer. In the region of an end face of the paving stone 1, a wide composite element 4 is arranged on the two side flanks 23 of the longitudinal sides, each substantially diametrically opposite one another. In the exemplary embodiment, the composite element 4 has approximately the width of two composite elements 3. Along its vertical axis a buffer pocket 41 is introduced into the composite element 4. The buffer pocket 41 has an approximately semi-cylindrical profile. The paving stones 1 according to the embodiments of Figures 2 and 3 also consist of a base body 2, and have top sides 21 and bottom sides 22 and formed therebetween side edges 23. A sharp-edged lower edge 24 is provided. The paving stones 1 according to FIGS. 2 and 3 also have composite elements 3 and 4, which are designed to be comparable to those of the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. The wide composite elements 4 are arranged in the embodiment of Figure 2 at two mutually parallel aligned side edges 23 diametrically opposite each other. In contrast to this, the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 3 has four wide composite elements 4, two of which are also arranged diametrically opposite each other on two parallel side edges 23.
Im Verbund zweier Pflastersteine 1 ragen jeweils die Verbundelemente 3, 4 des einen Pflastersteins in die von den Verbundelementen 3, 4 gebildeten Zwischen- räume 5 des benachbarten Pflastersteins. In die Zwischenräume 5 ist Füllmaterial 6 (z.B. Sand oder Splitt) eingebracht (vgl. Figur 4). In der Puffertasche 41 des breiten Verbundelements 4 wird dabei soviel Füllmaterial 6 angehäuft, dass die beiden Pflastersteine einen ausreichenden Abstand zueinander aufweisen, sodass die Verbundelemente 3 nicht an die Kanten der Zwischenräume 5 des jeweils benachbarten Pflastersteins stoßen. Das breite Verbundelement 4 ist derart be¬ messen, dass es nahezu den gesamten Zwischenraum der beidseitig von diesen positionierten Verbundelementen 3 des Nachbarsteins ausfüllt - die Breite des Verbundelementes 4 in seinem an der Seitenflanke 23 anliegenden Bereich im We¬ sentlichen der lichten Weite zwischen zwei benachbarten Verbundelementen 3, 4. Zwischen möglichen Berührungslinien zwischen dem breiten Verbundelement 4 des einen Pflastersteins mit den beiden Verbundelementen 3 des benachbarten Pflastersteins ist eine Positionssicherung der Steine zueinander gegeben. Dadurch werden die beiden Steine relativ zueinander gegen Verschiebung gesichert.In the composite of two paving stones 1 each project the composite elements 3, 4 of a paving stone in the spaces 5 formed by the composite elements 3, 4 of the adjacent paving stone. Filling material 6 (for example, sand or grit) is introduced into the intermediate spaces 5 (see FIG. In the buffer pocket 41 of the wide composite element 4 so much filler 6 is accumulated that the two paving stones have a sufficient distance from each other, so that the composite elements 3 do not hit the edges of the interstices 5 of each adjacent paving stone. The wide composite element 4 is dimensioned such that it fills almost the entire interspace of the composite elements 3 of the neighboring stone positioned on both sides thereof - the width of the composite element 4 in its region adjacent to the side flank 23 is substantially the clear width between two adjacent ones Composite elements 3, 4. Between possible contact lines between the wide composite element 4 of a paving stone with the two composite elements 3 of the adjacent paving stone a position assurance of the stones is given to each other. As a result, the two stones are secured relative to each other against displacement.
Im Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Figur 5 ist zwischen zwei Verbundelementen 3 eine Aufdickung 7 angeordnet. Diese Aufdickung 7 steht in Kontakt mit einem Verbundelement 3 des benachbarten Pflastersteins und sorgt damit für eine Dis¬ tanz der beiden Steine zueinander, die eine Berührung der übrigen Verbundele- mente 3, 4 mit dem jeweils angrenzenden Stein verhindert. Diese Distanz stellt die Mindestfugenbreite dar. Figur 5 ist anhand der Pfeile zu entnehmen, wie Material beim Anschieben der Pflastersteine 1 aus dem Pflasterbett mitgenommen wird und durch die Verbundelemente 3, 4 seitlich beiseite geschoben wird. Daraus re- sultiert eine weitere Möglichkeit, den direkten Kontakt der Steine („Beton an Be¬ ton") zu vermeiden: Die Puffertasche fängt beim Aneinanderschieben der Steine das Material, das sonst seitlich weggeschoben würde, auf. Bei Anhäufung von ausreichend Füllmaterial 6 in der Puffertasche 41 des breiten Verbundelements 4 wird ein Anschieben eines Steines an des Nachbarstein bis zum Kontakt „Beton an Beton" verhindert.In the embodiment according to FIG. 5, a thickening 7 is arranged between two composite elements 3. This thickening 7 is in contact with a composite element 3 of the adjacent paving stone and thus ensures a dis dance of the two stones to each other, which is a touch of the other Verbundele- 3, 4 prevented with the adjacent stone. This distance represents the minimum joint width. Figure 5 can be seen with the arrows, as material is taken when pushing the paving stones 1 from the paving bed and is pushed laterally aside by the composite elements 3, 4. This results in a further possibility of avoiding the direct contact of the bricks ("concrete on concrete"): When the bricks are pushed together, the buffer pocket catches the material that would otherwise be pushed aside laterally the buffer pocket 41 of the wide composite element 4 is prevented from pushing a stone to the neighboring stone to the contact "concrete to concrete".
Bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Pflasterstein 1 ist mindestens auf einer Seitenflanke 23 ein Verbundelement 4 so breit ausgeführt, dass es den Zwischenraum zwi¬ schen zwei benachbarten Verbundelementen 3 und 3 auf der angrenzenden Sei- tenflanke 23 des benachbarten Pflastersteins 1 mit der notwendigen Toleranz ganz ausfüllt. Dadurch ist eine punktuelle Fixierung der benachbarten Pflaster¬ steine gegeneinander erreicht. Gleichzeitig ist auf diese Weise verhindert, dass sich Maßdifferenzen oder Verlegefehler über mehrere Pflastersteine hinweg addie¬ ren und damit zu einer unerwünschten Position der Pflastersteine zueinander füh- ren können. Darüber hinaus ist durch die Erfindung erreicht, dass der seitlicheIn the case of the paving stone 1 according to the invention, a composite element 4 is made so broad at least on one side flank 23 that it completely fills the intermediate space between two adjacent composite elements 3 and 3 on the adjacent side flank 23 of the adjacent paving stone 1 with the necessary tolerance. As a result, a punctual fixation of the adjacent paving stones is achieved against each other. At the same time, it is prevented in this way that dimensional differences or laying errors can add up over several paving stones and thus lead to an undesired position of the paving stones relative to one another. In addition, it is achieved by the invention that the lateral
Kontakt von Verbundelementen 3, 4 benachbarter Pflastersteine 1 zuverlässig nur auf einen Punkt pro Steinflanke 23 begrenzt ist.Contact of composite elements 3, 4 adjacent paving stones 1 is reliably limited to only one point per flank 23.
Die punktuelle Fixierung jeweils zweier benachbarter Pflastersteine zueinander ver- hindert, dass durch Maßtoleranzen der Steine hervorgerufene und in Beziehung auf ihre Sollposition unerwünschte Verschiebung der Steine zueinander erfolgt. Da sich eine solche Verschiebung in der Regel über mehrere Steine mit gleicher Tole¬ ranz fortsetzt, resultiert hieraus üblicherweise ein gestalterisch unbefriedigendes Gesamtbild der gepflasterten Fläche. Es kann sogar die Wirksamkeit des Verbund- Systems gefährdet sein. Dies ist durch die erfindungsgemäße Ausbildung verhin¬ dert. The punctual fixation of two adjacent paving stones to one another prevents the stones from being caused to move relative to one another due to dimensional tolerances of the stones and in relation to their desired position. Since such a shift usually continues over several blocks with the same tolerance, this usually results in a structurally unsatisfactory overall picture of the paved area. It may even endanger the effectiveness of the composite system. This is prevented by the design according to the invention.
