Definitions

  • the invention relates to a fastening system for tabular panels, in particular for rectangular floor panels, arranged on narrow sides of the panels holding profiles extending in the longitudinal direction of the narrow sides and of which oppositely arranged holding profiles match each other such that similar panels are connected to each other, a continuous layer to produce from panels in a laying plane.
  • the holding profiles have a surface and a counter surface with a friction-increasing layer and are formed such that a lateral pulling apart composite holding profiles transversely to the longitudinal extent of the holding profiles and parallel to the laying plane to a relative movement between surface and counter surface and a pressure or an increase in pressure between the surface and the counter surface leads.
  • one of the support profiles has a groove and a protrusion located therebelow, the upwardly facing top of which slightly rises from the groove to a free end of the protrusion and is provided with a friction-enhancing layer.
  • the other retaining profile has an insertable into the groove spring and a recess below the spring.
  • a downwardly facing bottom of the recess cooperates in the assembled state of the retaining profiles with the top of the projection, wherein the underside of the recess also has an inclination relative to the laying plane, the inclination the top of the projection corresponds.
  • the upper side of the projection and the underside of the recess each form an inclined plane, which is pressed against the other oblique plane when the retaining profiles are pulled sideways, which increases the normal force between these two surfaces and thus also the frictional force which counteracts the lateral sliding apart. Consequently, the top of the projection and the bottom of the recess form the surface and mating surface with the friction-enhancing layer.
  • DE 203 19 121 U1 discloses a set of tabular panels having a fastening system with retaining profiles disposed on narrow sides of the panels that extend in the longitudinal direction of the narrow sides and of which oppositely disposed retaining profiles mate with one another such that similar panels are connectable to one another to form a continuous layer of panels in a laying plane to produce, wherein the holding profiles have at least one surface and a mating surface with at least one friction-increasing layer and are formed such that s lateral pulling apart composite holding profiles transversely to the longitudinal extent of the holding profiles and parallel to the laying plane to a relative movement between the surface and counter surface and a pressure increase between Surface and counter surface leads.
  • the EP 1 416 103 A1 discloses a set of tabular panels with a fastening system according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • connection of the holding profiles of US 6,808,772 B2 proves to be sufficient, as far as the panels are exactly in one plane and a pulling apart of the holding profiles takes place parallel to the laying plane.
  • connection of the holding profiles is often exposed to a multi-axis load.
  • a weight force from above on the connection act, by which the composite holding profiles are slightly twisted or tilted about an upper abutment edge of the panels relative to each other. This is possible if the panels are laid on relatively soft subfloors, as they are known for the sound insulation. With a load from above and the concomitant rotation of the holding profiles thereby reduces the holding force of the holding profiles in a lateral pulling apart.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to provide a fastening system for tabular panels of the type mentioned above, which are simple in construction and offer great security against lateral sliding apart of the holding profiles.
  • the fastening system according to claim 1 is characterized in that a rotation of a holding profile relative to the other holding profile assembled with the holding profile around the upper abutment edge, which runs parallel to the longitudinal extension of the holding profiles, counteracts a force through which the surface and the mating surface to each other being held.
  • This force is preferably produced by elastically deforming the retaining profiles when the retaining profiles rotate relative to the upper abutment edge.
  • the elastic deformation of the holding profiles thereby causes the rotation of the holding profiles not at all or only takes place so that surface and counter surface are not pressed apart by the rotation of the holding profiles and thus the friction between the surface and counter surface, which are overcome in the lateral pulling apart of the holding profiles must, does not fall away.
  • the rotation of the retaining profile with respect to the other retaining profile should be a rotation in which an angle between the tops of the panels of 180 degrees, which is given when the panels are exactly in the laying plane , decreases by a certain amount, for example, 2 degrees to 178 degrees.
  • at least one of the two holding profiles is no longer exactly in the laying plane, but is pivoted to this a little upwards around the upper edge of the installation.
  • the friction-increasing layer comprises a plastic layer and / or an adhesive layer.
  • the plastic layer of soft plastic such as silicone.
  • small particles of sand, stone, glass or metal are embedded or the friction-increasing layer is formed as a flocking layer.
  • the flocking layer may comprise a base layer and flocking fibers fixed to the base layer at a fixed end and facing away from the base layer with a loose end, the flocking fibers being oriented perpendicular to the base layer or at an angle other than 90 °.
  • the orientation of the flock fibers can are suitably adjusted so that the orientation of the flock fibers has a component which precludes a direction of movement when pulling the holding profiles.
  • the friction-increasing layer when pulling the holding profiles a greater coefficient of friction than when nesting of the holding profiles.
  • Surface and mating surface are each formed as an inclined plane with respect to the laying plane
  • An angle between the laying plane and the inclined plane may be only a few degrees, for example 0.5 to 3 °.
  • a preferred possibility is to arrange the inclined plane so that it is arranged below the upper abutment edge.
  • a perpendicular from the upper abutment edge would divide the oblique plane into two areas.
  • the solder extends perpendicular to the laying plane, which extends in floor panels in the horizontal.
  • the retaining profiles have a groove with a lower groove side wall and with an upper groove side wall and a spring with a lower side and an upper side, wherein the spring engages in a groove when the retaining profiles are connected to each other.
  • the upper side of the spring on the upper groove side wall and the underside of the spring on the lower groove side wall abut, so that a weight bearing on the connection weight can be forwarded by the holding profiles without bending moments on the subfloor, as far as it is a rigid Underground acts.
  • the upper groove side wall, the top of the spring form the surface or the counter surface with the friction-enhancing layer.
  • surface and counter surface each have an inclined plane, which is inclined to the laying plane.
  • the top of the spring and the upper groove side wall may be inclined so that when pulling out the spring from the groove, the top of the spring is pressed against the upper groove side wall.
  • the spring is supported by the underside on the upper groove inner wall.
  • the spring may have a chamfer at a free end.
  • the groove may also have a corresponding chamfer.
  • the underside of the spring has a convex curvature and the lower groove inner wall has a concave curvature of complementary design, so that an articulated connection is produced about an axis of rotation parallel to the retaining profiles. Due to the curvature, there is an undercut parallel to the laying plane, which helps to prevent the retaining profiles from being pulled apart parallel to the laying plane.
  • the convex curvature and the concave curvature follow a section of a circle whose center lies below the upper abutment edge.
  • FIG. 1 shows in cross section cutouts of a first panel 1 and a second panel 2.
  • the panels 1, 2 each have a panel top 3 and a panel bottom 4.
  • the panel undersides 4 of the panels 1, 2 rest on a subfloor 5.
  • a fastening profile 6 is provided, which with a in the essentially complementary formed retaining profile 6 'of the second panel 2 cooperates.
  • the holding profile 6 has a spring 7 with a bottom 8 and a top 9. While the upper side 9 of the spring 7 extends parallel to the lower floor 5 and thus to a laying plane E in which the panels 1, 2 lie, the underside 8 of the spring has an angle ⁇ which lies in a range between 0 and 3 degrees ,
  • the retaining profile 6 For receiving the spring 7 of the retaining profile 6, the retaining profile 6 'has a groove 10 which is bounded by a lower lip 11 and an upper lip 12.
  • the lower lip 11 forms a lower groove inner wall 13, while the upper lip 12 defines an upper groove inner wall 14.
  • the panels 1, 2 abut an upper (common) abutment edge 15. To ensure this, free spaces 16, 17, 18 are provided, which in the assembled position (as in FIG. 1 shown) between the holding profiles 6, 6 'set.
  • underside 8 of the spring 7 and the lower groove inner wall 13 is inclined by the inclination angle ⁇ to the laying plane E.
  • underside 8 of the spring 7 and the lower groove inner wall 13 each form an inclined plane with respect to the laying plane E.
  • a friction-increasing layer in the form of a flocking layer 19 is applied between the underside 8 and the lower groove inner wall 13. By this flocking layer 19, the friction between the surfaces 8, 13 is increased.
  • the spring 7 on the top 9 a chamfer 20, which facilitates insertion of the spring 7 in the groove 10. Due to the inclination of the bottom 8 of the spring 7 and the inclination of the groove inner wall 13, the spring 7 is compressed during insertion into the groove 10 to a certain extent and the lips 11, 12 pressed apart.
  • the fastening profiles 6, 6 ' can be designed so that they are in the in FIG. 1 shown assembled position virtually stress-free abut each other.
  • a solder from the upper abutment edge 15 (ie extending perpendicularly from the upper side 3) divides the inclined planes 8, 13 into two areas.
  • the lower lip 11 extends beyond the upper abutment edge 15.
  • FIG. 2 shows the holding profiles 1, 2 in a mutually tilted or rotated position. This tilting or rotation of the panels 1, 2 to each other, for example, arise when a weight G from above on the connection of the holding profiles 6, 6 'loads. The rotation takes place around the upper contact edge 15 of the fastening profiles 6, 6 '.
  • the holding profiles 6, 6 ' By the rotation of the panel 1 relative to the panel 2, the holding profiles 6, 6 'are elastically deformed. In the presentation of the FIG. 2 the holding profiles 6, 6 'are not shown deformed, so that it is in FIG. 2 to certain overlaps of the holding profiles 6, 6 'comes. These coverings do not occur in reality, their representation is merely intended to illustrate that a rotation about the upper abutment edge 15 has deformations result.
  • the spring 7 is subjected to bending, which is supported on the likewise stressed bending on the lower lip 11.
  • FIG. 3 shows an embodiment of the invention. Components or features that correspond to corresponding components or features of the embodiment of Figures 1 and 2 are similar or identical are marked with the same reference numerals.
  • a spring 7 and a groove 10 form a hinge, wherein the underside 8 of the spring 7 has a convex curvature 21 which is received by a concave curvature 22 of the lower groove inner wall 13.
  • the bulges 21, 22 follow a section of a circle, whose center is below the upper abutment edge 15.
  • FIG. 3 In the embodiment of FIG. 3 are a top 9 of the spring 7 and cooperating with them upper groove inner wall 14 formed as inclined planes, between which the friction-increasing flocking layer 19 is located.
