Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a system comprising a carrying frame and a cover for camouflaging of a technical gap, so as for example of a gap for access to an electro meter, water meters, water closures, etc., made in a wall or a ceiling of a building.
  • Such a carrying frame with a cover is disclosed for example in the document DE 92 10 905 U1 .
  • the covering plate is fixed to the frame demountably by means of screws. Screwing of the covering plate to the frame during assembly or unscrewing of the screws during repairs and inspections is lengthy. The carrying frame or the covering plate can be damaged if the screws are tightened up too much and a screw can be lost.
  • the document EP 779 397 B1 discloses a covering arrangement for a gap, particularly for an inspection gap, which arrangement comprises a frame situated in a gap and a covering plate, which covering plate covers the frame and is joined with the frame demountably.
  • the covering plate is provided with a controlling element.
  • the covering plate is also provided with a border part, which border part protrudes from its face surface backwards, in the direction to the frame, and forms a border of the frame.
  • the frame comprises at least one latch, which latch is mounted flexibly by means of a spring, and which is fixed in the mounting part so that it cannot be lost.
  • the plate is provided with a snap-in element, and in the area of the opposite side, it is provided with catching elements, to which catching elements the corresponding recesses are formed in the frame.
  • the snap-in element is engaged with the corresponding latch and the catching elements are engaged with the corresponding recesses.
  • a disadvantage of this embodiment is on the one hand that to remove the covering plate it is necessary to use a special tool, which tool is inserted into a tool recess of the unblocking element and by which the return spring of the latch is pushed, and on the other hand that the covering plate protrudes above the surrounding surface substantially.
  • designs of the carrying frame are known, in which the carrying frame has the L-letter form in its cross section, as well as designs of the covering plate, in which the covering plate is placed in the opening of the carrying frame and in which in the area of one of its sides the covering plate is provided with put-on grips on its internal surface, which put-on grips can grip behind the protrusions of the carrying frame or in the corresponding openings in the carrying frame.
  • the covering plate is provided with one gripping element on the inner side, which gripping element is adjustable by turning of a controlling element passing through the cover plate and is grippable behind the protrusion of the carrying frame or in an opening in the carrying frame.
  • An advantage of this embodiment is that it protrudes only minimally above the surrounding surface, but to remove the covering plate and to put it again to its place, it is necessary to use a tool again, in this case a screwdriver, which screwdriver is inserted into the recess in the controlling element.
  • a tool again in this case a screwdriver, which screwdriver is inserted into the recess in the controlling element.
  • Another disadvantage can be seen in an uneven adhering and centring of the cover plate in the carrying frame because of the necessary production tolerances of their individual parts.
  • the device is comprised of a cover sunk in an opening in the wall by means of a composed frame profile.
  • the frame is composed of two rectangular elements.
  • the outer one of the elements has a circumferential part, which part fits into the opening in the wall and is directed to the outer surface of the wall, and an outward flange, which is situated between the wall and the wall framework, being directed towards the outside of the wall opening and fixed to the framework.
  • the inner one of the elements has a circumferential part, which part is fixed to the inner surface of the circumferential part of the first element in the area of the opening in the wall, and simultaneously, it is prolonged into the opening of the wall framework, which opening is continuation of the opening in the wall, so that the opening secures embedding of the circumferential part of the first element.
  • the inner element has an inner flange, which flange is placed distantly with regard to the frame of the wall framework and is directed into the wall opening. On the inner flange there is a demountably embedded closure panel, embedded in the wall, so that its upper surface area is situated flush with the plane of the outer wall surface area.
  • the closure panel is entirely concealed by paper or by other wall lining, where the play in the connection between the panel and the circumferential part 9 of the first element allows extraction of the panel from the frame profile.
  • the closure panel having the shape of a planar plate is secured in the frame of the wall opening by inner catches snapped against cut outs in the inner flange, which cut outs are formed with spaces with regard to the flange to allow pressing of the inner catches of the panel inwards and their snapping against the cut outs.
  • the closure panel is releasable by prying the panel out of the frame of the wall opening.
  • the frame consists of an outer flange, which flange is parallel with a wall with an opening and is placed of the surface area of the wall around the opening, and of an arm substantially perpendicular to the flange and extending in the direction outwards from the wall.
  • the arm is provided with inner flange, which flange is parallel to the outer flange of the frame and includes a projection in the middle of one of its sides, which projection is provided with a threaded opening for a screw of the cover.
  • An opening for the cover is formed in the arm above the flange, which cover is placed on the flange.
  • the system wherein the carrying frame is also characterized in that the assembly openings are oval and are arranged along the whole circumferential length both of the arm part of the outer frame and of its arm, which is parallel with the axis of the technical gap on the outer side in the area above shorter vertical part of the carrying frame profile.
  • the outer surface of the controlling element and the outer surface of the flap fit with the outer surface of the cover and the through opening in the cover has the form of an elongated rectangle.
  • the cover according to the present invention it is substantial that it is provided with two gripping elements, with controlling elements arranged in two through-openings, of which each is adjacent to one of the two neighbouring cover corners, wherein the through openings are arranged either one after the other and are parallel with the axis passing through the put-on grips, or they are arranged next to each other and perpendicularly to the axis passing through the put-on grips.
  • the flap is provided with protrusions or recesses making the surface coarse
  • the gripping elements are provided with an adjustable gripping surface on the side determined for securing behind the gripping part of the carrying frame profile, and that the put-on grips are arranged adjustably perpendicularly to the adjacent outer cover border.
  • the wedge-shaped protrusions are formed on the inner reinforcing ribbing of the cover and that there are six wedge-shaped protrusions and that they are arranged two next to each other on three sides of the cover.
  • An advantage of the system of the carrying frame and the cover according to the present invention is particularly that it is not necessary to use any tool during putting of the cover into the carrying frame and in taking the cover from the carrying frame, regular adhering and perfect centring of the cover in the carrying frame, integrity of the outside surface of the cover and merging of the cover surface with the surface surrounding the technical gap.
  • a carrying frame 1 for fixing of a cover 2 of a technical gap so as for example of a gap for access to an electro meter, water meters, water closures, etc., made in a wall or a ceiling of a building, according to present invention, has in its cross section the form of a combined open profile, the outer frame 3 of which is on the outer side of the frame 1 adjacent to the cover 2 provided with a to the axis of the technical gap laterally situated arm part 5 oriented in the direction away from one arm of the inner frame 4 , which is parallel with the axis of the technical gap.
  • the inner frame 4 on its side turned away from the arm part 5 , passes by its other arm, which arm is perpendicular to the axis of the technical gap, and adapted on the inner side of the carrying frame 1 , which is placed distantly to the plane of the cover 2 and forming gripping part 16 into the outer frame 3 .
  • Both the arm part 5 and the outer frame 3 of the profile of the carrying frame 1 are provided with assembly openings 6 , in this case with oval ones.
  • the cover 2 has the form of a plate and on its inner side, at one of its outer circumferential edge, it is provided with two put-on grips 8 (see Fig. 3 and Fig. 6 ) and at the opposite outer circumferential edge, it is provided with two adjustable gripping elements 9 , each of which is provided with a control element 10, for fixing of the cover 2 in the carrying frame 1 .
  • Each gripping element 9 has, together with the controlling element 10 , the form resembling the letter Z (see Fig. 2 ), and is pivotably mounted in the through opening 11 in the cover 2 so that in the rest state, in the self-locking securing of the gripping element 9 behind the gripping part 16 of the carrying frame 1 profile (see Fig. 5 ), the outer surface of the controlling element 10 is parallel with the outer surface of the cover 2 (see Fig. 4 ), in a preferable embodiment so that it fits with it.
  • a flap 12 is mounted pivotably springingly. Its mounting is carried out so that its outer surface is parallel with the outer surface of the cover 2 in the rest state of the flap 12 (see Fig. 4 ), in a preferable embodiment so that it fits with it.
  • the wedge-shaped protrusions 14 are arranged (see Fig. 3 ,) entering into the space between the shorter vertical part and the low end of the longer vertical part of the carrying frame 1 profile.
  • the wedge-shaped protrusions 14 are preferably formed on the inner reinforcing ribbing 15 of the cover 2 and they are arranged two next to each other on all sides of the cover 2 (see Fig. 3 ), with the exception of the side at which the put-on grips 8 are provided.
  • the through openings 11 in the cover 2 have in this case the form of an elongated rectangle.
  • other suitable form can also be used, for example the oval form.
  • the through openings 11 are adjacent each to one of the two neighbouring corners of the cover 2 .
  • the through-openings 11 are arranged one after the other and are parallel with the axis passing through the put-on grips 8 . But also they can be arranged next to each other and perpendicularly to the axis passing through the put-on grips.
  • each flap 12 is provided with coarse making protrusions or recesses on its outer surface.
  • Fig. 5 It is also preferable (see Fig. 5 ) to provide the gripping elements 9 on the side determined for fastening behind the gripping part 16 of the carrying frame 1 profile with an adjustable gripping surface, in this particular case controlled by a screw with hollow head with hexagon socket, and to arrange the put-on grips 8 adjustably perpendicularly to the adjacent outer border of the cover 2 (see Fig. 3 and Fig. 6 ).
  • the cover 2 (see Fig. 5 ) is provided with a lamella lock 13 , the latch of which is locked behind the gripping part 16 of the carrying frame 1 profile.
  • the form and the size of the outer borders of the cover 2 correspond to the form and size of the outer borders of the arm part 5 of the carrying frame 1 profile.
  • a carrying frame 1 is inserted into a technical gap so that its arm part 5 sits down by its inner surface, adjacent to the longer arm, which is parallel with the axis of the technical gap of the outer frame 3 of the profile of the carrying frame 1 , to the surface of a wall or a ceiling. Thereafter, the carrying frame 1 is fixed by wood screws, passing through the assembly openings 6 , in the longer arm and the arm part 5 of the outer frame 3 of the carrying frame 1 profile, or by another suitable known process, to a wall or a ceiling of a building.
  • the flaps 12 are pushed at once, or one after the other, by a finger of a hand, in the direction to the inner surface of the cover 2 , whereby, the force of a spring, with which each flap 12 is provided, is overwhelmed for the purpose to return it to the starting resting position.
  • the end of the controlling element 10 is caught simultaneously, and by exerting a traction force to the end of the controlling element 10 this controlling element 10 is pivoted to the position, in which it is arranged laterally to the outer surface of the cover 2 .
  • the flap 12 returns to its starting resting position by action of the spring.
  • both controlling elements 10 are pivoted to a position lateral to the outer surface of the cover 2 , it is possible to start assembly of the cover 2 into the carrying frame 1 .
  • the cover 2 is now placed in front of the carrying frame 1 , and this into a position, in which the plane intersecting the cover 2 makes an acute angle with the wall surface or the ceiling surface, and in which the border of the cover 2 , to which the put-on grips 8 are adjacent, is parallel with one border of the carrying frame 1 and is situated next to it, in its close vicinity.
  • the cover 2 is caught up by means of the put-on grips 8 behind the gripping part 16 in the adjacent border of the carrying frame 1 .
  • the cover 2 is pressed to the carrying frame 1 , in which action the wedge-shaped protrusions 14 , arranged on the inner stiffening ribbing 15 of the cover 2 , are inserted into the space between the axially oriented arms of the frames 3 and 4 of the carrying frame 1 profile and the cover 2 is centred with regard to the carrying frame 1 , so that the borders of the cover 2 fit with the outer borders of the arm part 5 of the carrying frame 1 .
  • the wedge-shaped protrusions 14 prevent any movement of the cover 2 along the carrying frame 1.
  • the cover 2 is disassembled from the carrying frame 1 and before its new assembly into the carrying frame 1 the distance of the put-on grips 8 to the adjacent border of the cover 2 is decreased and/or their adjustable gripping surfaces are moved more out from the gripping elements 9 .
