Description

Ferner betrifft die Erfindung eine Verwendung eines Elements zum Abdecken einer Schmalfläche einer Leichtbauplatte gemäß Patentanspruch 14.The invention relates to a lightweight board according to the preamble of claim 1. A lightweight board is known for example from the DE 195 06 158 A1 , Furthermore, the invention relates to a use of an element for covering a narrow surface of a lightweight building panel according to claim 14.

Leichtbauplatten (LBPL) sind aus dem Stand der Technik hinlänglich bekannt. Auch im Möbel- und Innenausbau werden diese seit langer Zeit in vielfältiger Weise verwendet. Haupteinsatzgebiet war und ist hier speziell der Türenbau. So ist es vor allem bei Zimmertüren, die also geringen Anforderungen hinsichtlich des Wärme- und Schallschutzes unterliegen, üblich ein Rahmenelement mit einem Wabenkern beidseitig zu beplanken und dieses dann mit den entsprechenden Bohrungen, Fräsungen, etc. zu einem Türelement weiterzuverarbeiten.Lightweight panels (LBPL) are well known in the art. Also in furniture and interior design, these are used for a long time in a variety of ways. The main field of application was and is the door construction here. So it is especially in room doors, which are therefore subject to low requirements in terms of heat and sound insulation, usually a frame member with a honeycomb core on both sides to plank and this then continue to process the corresponding holes, millings, etc. to a door element.

Im gehobenen Einrichtungsbereich wurden ebenfalls Leichbauplatten im Möbelbau eingesetzt, weil durch deren Einsatz sehr große Wandstärken realisiert werden können, die besondere gestalterische Möglichkeiten bieten. In jüngerer Zeit werden auch bei Massenmöbeln verstärkt Leichtbauplatten verwendet, sodass auch ein Einsatz auf breiterem Gebiet wirtschaftlich möglich wird. Damit sind einer breiteren Schicht von Endverbrauchern die verschiedenen Vorzüge der Leichtbauplatten zugängig.Leichbauplatten were also used in furniture in the upscale furnishings, because through their use very large wall thicknesses can be realized, which offer special design options. More recently, lightweight panels have been increasingly used in mass-produced furniture, making it economically feasible to use in a wider area. Thus, a broader range of end users the various benefits of lightweight panels are accessible.

Der Hersteller von Möbeln braucht Leichtbauplatten heute nicht mehr selber herzustellen, wie dies früher der Fall war. Mehrere Arbeitsgänge waren dazu notwendig. Zunächst musste ein Rahmen hergestellt werden, eventuell mit mehreren Querriegeln, auf den dann die Decklagen aufgebracht wurden und der die verschiedenen Beschläge aufzunehmen hatte. Zwischen den Decklagen wurden Leichtfaserplatten, mineralische Dämmwolle, Kartonwaben oder ähnliches eingebracht. Damit wurde dem Element mehr Kompaktheit und eventuell auch eine verbesserte Stabilität verliehen. Zumeist mussten in separaten Arbeitsgängen die Deckschichten auch noch aufwändig oberflächenbehandelt werden. So waren als Decklagen furnierte oder anderweitig beschichtete Hartfaserplatten üblich, wobei das fertige Element auch erst durch abschließendes Lackieren seine endgültige Oberfläche erhalten kann.The manufacturer of furniture does not need to manufacture lightweight panels today, as was the case earlier. Several operations were necessary. First, a frame had to be made, possibly with several crossbars, on which the top layers were then applied and which had to accommodate the various fittings. Between the cover layers lightweight fiber boards, mineral insulating wool, cardboard honeycomb or the like were introduced. This gave the item more compactness and possibly improved stability. In most cases, the outer layers also had to be elaborately surface-treated in separate operations. For example, veneered or otherwise coated hardboards were used as cover layers, and the finished element can only be given its final surface by final painting.

Heute werden Leichtbauplatten in zunehmendem Maß auch industriell gefertigt. Dazu wird eine leichte Mittellage mit Deckplatten versehen, zumeist durch Klebung, so dass ein großformatiger, rahmenloser Verbund entsteht. Je nach geforderter Stabilität der Platte werden unterschiedlich dicke Deckplatten, zumeist aus einem Holzwerkstoff wie Span- oder Faserplatte, eingesetzt. Die verwendeten Platten können bereits beschichtet sein, also etwa mit einem Laminat, einer Farbe, einem Druck mit Versiegelung, einer Melaminharzschicht, einem Furnier, etc. versehen sein. Als Mittellagen werden Kartonwaben oder Schaumstoffplatten bevorzugt. Für bestimmte Verwendungszwecke sind möglicher Weise auch Wabenmaterialien aus anderen Materialien als Papier oder Karton sinnvoll. So können dafür dünnste Plattenmaterialien oder auch dünnwandiges Metall wie Aluminium eingesetzt werden. Es ist aber auch möglich als Mittellagen leichte Holzwerkstoffe wie etwa entsprechende Spanplatten oder Faserplatten oder auch Massivholz geringer Dichte, wie Balsaholz, einzusetzen. Mit entsprechenden Ausnehmungen versehen sind grundsätzlich alle Materialien zum Einsatz als leichte Mittellage möglich. So werden dafür beispielsweise auch Holzarten herangezogen, die zwar nicht besonders geringes Gewicht aufweisen, dafür aber gut verfügbar sind und sich gut mit zerspanenden Werkzeugen bearbeiten lassen. Auch sind leichte Mittellagen aus Halmbündeln, die miteinander verbunden zu flächigen Gebilden aufgeschnitten werden, sodass dann die Länge der Halmabschnitte der Dicke der Mittellage entspricht, bekannt.Today, lightweight panels are increasingly being manufactured industrially. For this purpose, a light middle layer is provided with cover plates, usually by gluing, so that a large-format, frameless composite arises. Depending on the required stability of the plate different thickness cover plates, mostly from a wood material such as chipboard or fiberboard used. The plates used may already be coated, that is to say be provided with a laminate, a paint, a pressure with a seal, a melamine resin layer, a veneer, etc. As middle layers, cardboard honeycomb or foam boards are preferred. Honeycomb materials made of materials other than paper or cardboard may also be useful for certain purposes. For example, the thinnest sheet materials or even thin-walled metal such as aluminum can be used. But it is also possible as a middle layer of lightweight wood materials such as appropriate chipboard or fiberboard or solid wood of low density, such as balsa wood, use. Provided with corresponding recesses are basically all materials for use as a light middle layer possible. Thus, for example, wood species are used for that, although not particularly low weight, but are well available and can be easily edited with cutting tools. Also, light middle layers of bundles of bundles, which are cut together to form flat structures, so that then the length of the stalk sections corresponds to the thickness of the middle layer known.

Die so hergestellten Platten werden dann in die gewünschte Größe aufgeteilt. Je nach vorgesehenem Einsatz der erhaltenen Elemente werden diese dann mit Kanten versehen oder ein zumindest teilweise umlaufender Rahmen wird nachträglich eingebracht. Dies geschieht durch Ausfräsen des Kantenbereichs und nachfolgendes Einkleben eines Rahmenprofils, das wiederum zumeist aus einem Holzwerkstoff besteht.The plates thus produced are then divided into the desired size. Depending on the intended use of the resulting elements, these are then provided with edges or an at least partially encircling frame is subsequently introduced. This is done by milling the edge area and subsequent gluing a frame profile, which in turn consists mostly of a wood material.

Es ist allerdings bis dato ein ungelöstes Problem, die beim Vorsehen von Ausschnitten in Leichtbauplatten zur Aufnahme von Elementen durch den Ausschnitt freigelegten Schmalflächen der Deckplatten sowie die freigelegte Mittelschicht ausreichend zu schützen, insbesondere gegenüber Feuchtigkeit abzudichten. Ausschnitte sind beispielsweise bei der Verwendung einer Leichtbauplatte als Küchenarbeitsplatte notwendig, um eine Spüle oder eine Herdplatte aufzunehmen.However, it is an unsolved problem to date to protect sufficient in the provision of cutouts in lightweight panels for receiving elements through the neck exposed narrow surfaces of the cover plates and the exposed middle layer, in particular to seal against moisture. Cutouts are necessary, for example, when using a lightweight board as a kitchen worktop to accommodate a sink or a stove top.

Weiterhin ist es von Nachteil, dass keine einfachen und kostengünstigen Maßnahmen bekannt sind, Schmalflächen sowie Mittelschichten individuell, also am Einbauort, zu schützen, wenn der Ausschnitt erst am Einbauort vorgesehen wird.Furthermore, it is disadvantageous that no simple and inexpensive measures are known, narrow areas as well To protect middle layers individually, ie at the installation site, when the cutout is provided at the installation site.

Der Erfindung liegt somit das technische Problem zugrunde, Maßnahmen anzugeben, die ein Schützen von Schmalflächen sowie Mittelschichten in einfacher und individueller Weise ermöglichen.The invention is therefore based on the technical problem of providing measures that allow protection of narrow surfaces and middle layers in a simple and individual way.

Bei dem eingangs genannten Stand der Technik aus der DE 195 06 158 A1 wird die Schmalfläche einer Leichtbauplatte von einem Abdichtungselement abgedeckt, wobei zur ergänzenden Fixierung Klebstoffaufnahmetaschen in Form punktueller Vertiefungen im Material des Abdichtungselements vorgesehen sind, die parallel zur Erstreckungsrichtung des Abdichtungselements verlaufen. Dadurch werden Aufnahemkanäle für den Klebstoff gebildet, entlang derer sich der Klebstoff verteilt. Problematisch bei diesem Stand der Technik ist, dass bei unzureichender Verteilung des Klebstoffs in den Aufnahmekanälen Lücken und damit Undichtigkeiten zwischen Abdichtungselement und Schmalfläche entstehen können, durch die Feuchtigkeit ins Innere der Leichtbauplatte eindringen kann.In the above-mentioned prior art from the DE 195 06 158 A1 the narrow surface of a lightweight board is covered by a sealing element, wherein adhesive receiving pockets are provided in the form of punctiform depressions in the material of the sealing element, which extend parallel to the extension direction of the sealing element for additional fixing. As a result, receiving channels for the adhesive are formed, along which the adhesive is distributed. The problem with this prior art is that with insufficient distribution of the adhesive in the receiving channels gaps and thus leaks between sealing element and narrow surface can arise through which moisture can penetrate into the interior of the lightweight board.

Die DE 296 17 862 U1 betrifft einen Rahmen zur Herstellung eines Wand- und/oder Türelements, der beidseitig mit einer Deckplatte aus Metall, Kunststoff oder Schichtpressstoff versehen sein kann. Der Rahmen erstreckt sich ausschließlich zwischen den Deckplatten und kann somit als Abdeckung der Schmalfläche im Bereich zwischen den Deckplatten angesehen werden.The DE 296 17 862 U1 relates to a frame for producing a wall and / or door element, which may be provided on both sides with a cover plate made of metal, plastic or laminate. The frame extends exclusively between the cover plates and can thus be regarded as covering the narrow surface in the region between the cover plates.

Das zuvor aufgezeigte technische Problem wird erfindungsgemäß bei einer Leichtbauplatte gemäß Oberbegriff von Patentanspruch 1 gelöst durch die Merkmale des kennzeichnenden Teils von Patentanspruch 1. Im Einzelnen wird das Problem also gelöst durch eine Leichtbauplatte, die aus zwei Deckplatten und einer dazwischen angeordneten Mittellage gebildet ist, mit mindestens einer Schmalfläche und mit einem die Schmalfläche abdeckenden Element, mit einem äußeren Abschnitt, wobei der äußere Abschnitt eine Höhe aufweist, die mindestens dem Abstand der von der Mittellage abgewandten Oberflächen der Deckplatten entspricht, und mit einem inneren Abschnitt, bei dem die voneinander abgewandten Seiten des Abschnitts einen Abstand aufweisen, der mindestens dem Abstand der der Mittellage zugewandten Oberflächen der Deckplatten entspricht, wobei der äußere Abschnitt mit dem inneren Abschnitt einstückig ausgebildet ist, wobei das Element ein Abdichtungselement mit mindestens einer Dichtfläche zum Abdichten mindestens einer Schmalfläche einer Deckplatte und/oder einer Mittellage der Leichtbauplatte ist, das derart ausgebildet ist, dass es im montierten Zustand eine Abdichtung der Schmalfläche der Deckplatte und/oder der Mittellage der Leichtbauplatte ermöglicht, wobei die zwei Deckplatten aus einem Holzwerkstoff gebildet sind, wobei die Mittellage aus einer Kartonwabe gebildet ist, wobei die Dichtfläche mit einer Dichtmasse versehen ist, wobei der innere Abschnitt Rastnasen zum Verrasten an den Deckplatten aufweist, und wobei dass den Rastnasen entsprechende Vertiefungen in den Deckplatten vorgesehen sind.The above-indicated technical problem according to the invention in a lightweight panel according to the preamble of claim Specifically, the problem is solved by a lightweight board, which is formed of two cover plates and a middle layer arranged therebetween, with at least one narrow surface and with a narrow surface covering element, with an outer Section, wherein the outer portion has a height which corresponds at least to the distance of the side facing away from the central position surfaces of the cover plates, and having an inner portion, wherein the opposite sides of the portion have a distance which at least the distance of the central position facing Surface of the cover plates corresponds, wherein the outer portion is formed integrally with the inner portion, wherein the element is a sealing member having at least one sealing surface for sealing at least a narrow surface of a cover plate and / or a middle layer of the lightweight board, the derar t is formed, that in the assembled state, a sealing of the narrow surface of the cover plate and / or the middle layer of the lightweight board allows, wherein the two cover plates are formed of a wood material, wherein the central layer is formed of a cardboard honeycomb, wherein the sealing surface provided with a sealant is, wherein the inner portion has latching lugs for latching to the cover plates, and wherein the detents corresponding depressions are provided in the cover plates.

Die Erfindung hat somit erkannt, dass eine so ausgestaltete Leichtbauplatte mit einem Abdichtungselement auf besonders einfache Weise individuell einen Schutz, insbesondere eine Abdichtung, der durch den Ausschnitt freigelegten Schmalflächen ermöglicht.The invention has thus recognized that such a lightweight board with a sealing element in a particularly simple way individually protection, in particular a seal that allows exposed by the neckline narrow surfaces.

Das Abdichtungselement kann mit seinem inneren Abschnitt zwischen die Deckplatten gesteckt werden, wobei vorher in dem Einsteckbereich die Mittellage ausgespart wird, so dass der äußere Abschnitt mit den Schmalflächen der Deckplatten in Berührung kommt und diese, indem der äußere Abschnitt insbesondere eine abdichtende Funktion übernimmt, schützt. Gerade bei Verwendung einer Leichtbauplatte als Küchenarbeitsplatte ergeben sich mannigfaltige Situationen, bei denen Verunreinigungen mit den Schmalflächen und/oder der Mittellage in Kontakt treten können, was zu einem Aufquellen der verschmutzten Bereiche und/oder Bakterienherden führen kann. Auch bei Verwendung einer Leichtbauplatte in anderen Anwendungsbereichen können sich die Schmalflächen und/oder die Mittellage, insbesondere durch Feuchtigkeit, nachteilig verformen, verfärben oder in sonstiger Weise unerwünschte Eigenschaften entwickeln.The sealing element can be inserted with its inner portion between the cover plates, wherein previously in the Einsteckbereich the central layer is recessed, so that the outer portion with the narrow surfaces of the cover plates in contact and this, in particular by the outer portion performs a sealing function protects , Especially when using a lightweight board as a kitchen countertop arise manifold situations in which contaminants with the narrow surfaces and / or the middle layer can come into contact, which can lead to swelling of the polluted areas and / or herd of bacteria. Even when using a lightweight board in other applications, the narrow surfaces and / or the middle layer, in particular by moisture, deform adversely, discolor or develop undesirable properties in any other way.

Gemäß einer Ausgestaltung ist vorgesehen, dass im montierten Zustand des Abdichtungselements der innere Abschnitt gegenüber dem äußeren Abschnitt in Richtung der Mittellage hervorsteht. Auf diese Weise kann der innere Abschnitt bei der Montage zwischen die Deckplatten eingeführt werden, was die Dichtwirkung und Stabilität erhöht.According to one embodiment, it is provided that, in the assembled state of the sealing element, the inner section projects in the direction of the central position relative to the outer section. In this way, the inner portion can be inserted during assembly between the cover plates, which increases the sealing effect and stability.

Für eine optimale Fixierung des Abdichtungselements an der Leichtbauplatte kann vorgesehen sein, dass der innere Abschnitt mindestens einen Vorsprung, vorzugsweise zwei Vorsprünge, aufweist, der gegenüber dem äußeren Abschnitt in Richtung der Mittellage hervorsteht. Dabei kann mindestens einer der Vorsprünge eine Rastnase aufweisen, die mit einer entsprechenden Vertiefung in der Deckplatte zusammenwirkt. Vorzugsweise sind die Vertiefungen an der Innenseite der Deckplatte vorgesehen und die Rastnasen weisen voneinander weg. Dies bildet eine Clipsverbindung, die eine einfache Montage und Demontage des Abdichtungselements ermöglicht.For optimum fixation of the sealing element to the lightweight building board, it can be provided that the inner section has at least one projection, preferably two projections, which projects in the direction of the central position relative to the outer section. In this case, at least one of the projections have a latching nose, which cooperates with a corresponding recess in the cover plate. Preferably, the depressions on the inside of the Cover plate provided and the locking lugs are away from each other. This forms a clip connection which allows for easy assembly and disassembly of the sealing element.

Alternativ oder zusätzlich ist auch denkbar, dass die Vertiefungen an der Außenseite der Deckplatte vorgesehen sind und die Rastnasen zueinander weisen. Dabei, aber auch in anderen konstruktionsbedingten Fällen, kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Höhe des äußeren Abschnitts dem Abstand der voneinander abgewandten Seiten des inneren Abschnitts entspricht.Alternatively or additionally, it is also conceivable that the depressions are provided on the outer side of the cover plate and the latching noses face each other. In this case, but also in other construction-related cases, it can be provided that the height of the outer portion corresponds to the distance of the opposite sides of the inner portion.

Gemäß einer Ausgestaltung kann vorgesehen sein, dass der mindestens eine Vorsprung Bestandteil eines Federprofils ist, das mit einem entsprechenden Nutprofil in der Deckplatte zusammenwirken kann. Es ist auch denkbar, dass der mindestens eine Vorsprung Bestandteil eines Nutprofils ist, das mit einem entsprechenden Federprofil in der Deckplatte zusammenwirken kann. Eine Nut/Federverbindung stellt ebenfalls eine einfache Möglichkeit zur Montage und Demontage des Abdichtungselements dar.According to one embodiment it can be provided that the at least one projection is part of a spring profile which can cooperate with a corresponding groove profile in the cover plate. It is also conceivable that the at least one projection is part of a groove profile, which can cooperate with a corresponding spring profile in the cover plate. A groove / spring connection also provides a simple way to assemble and disassemble the sealing element.

Eine besonders wirtschaftliche Herstellungsweise ist dadurch gegeben, dass die Abschnitte extrudiert sein können. So können immer gleiche Abdichtungselemente hergestellt werden, die lediglich durch Zuschnitt auf eine bestimmte Länge in ihre Endform gebracht werden müssen.A particularly economical method of production is given by the fact that the sections can be extruded. Thus, always the same sealing elements can be produced, which must be brought only by cutting to a certain length in its final form.

Dadurch, dass die Abschnitte aus einem elastischen Material hergestellt sein können, ist ein äußerer Abschnitt gegeben, der sich insbesondere bei runden Ausschnitten oder bei Ausschnitten mit runden Kanten sehr gut an die Schmalflächen anlegt und so besonders gut abdichtet. Weiterhin kann der innere Abschnitt dadurch kraftschlüssig in die Aussparung der Mittellage und zwischen den Deckplatten eingesetzt werden. Insbesondere kann die Elastizität so gewählt sein, dass ein Verformen des inneren Abschnitts nicht zu einem Auseinanderdrücken der Deckplatten führt.The fact that the sections can be made of an elastic material, an outer portion is given, which is particularly good for round cutouts or cutouts with rounded edges on the narrow surfaces applies and thus seals very well. Furthermore, the inner portion can thereby be used non-positively in the recess of the middle layer and between the cover plates. In particular, the elasticity can be chosen such that a deformation of the inner portion does not lead to a pressing apart of the cover plates.

Die Abschnitte können zudem eine thermische Festigkeit aufweisen. Dies ist von Vorteil, wenn das Abdichtungselement mit sich erhitzenden Elementen, die im Ausschnitt der Leichtbauplatte angeordnet werden sollen, in Kontakt kommt. Ein solches Element können Herdplatten sein. Beispielsweise kann die thermische Festigkeit bis zu einer Temperatur von 150°C, insbesondere bis 100°C vorgesehen sein, so dass sich das Abdichtungselement bis zu dieser Temperatur nicht nachteilig verformt.The sections may also have thermal resistance. This is advantageous if the sealing element comes into contact with heating elements which are to be arranged in the cutout of the lightweight building board. Such an element can be stovetops. For example, the thermal resistance may be provided up to a temperature of 150 ° C., in particular up to 100 ° C., so that the sealing element does not disadvantageously deform up to this temperature.

Zur Herstellung eines Abdichtungselements mit elastischen Eigenschaften können alle elastischen Materialien verwendet werden. Es kann sich um ein thermoplastisches Material oder auch um PVC oder Polyamid handeln.For producing a sealing member having elastic properties, all elastic materials can be used. It may be a thermoplastic material or PVC or polyamide.

Eine besonders bevorzugte Ausführungsform ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die Abschnitte zusammen einen T-förmigen Querschnitt aufweisen. Ein so ausgestaltetes Abdichtungselement ermöglicht in einfacher Weise ein Einstecken in die Aussparung der Mittellage und Abdichten der Schmalflächen.A particularly preferred embodiment is characterized in that the sections together have a T-shaped cross-section. A sealing element designed in this way allows a simple insertion into the recess of the middle layer and sealing of the narrow surfaces.

Dadurch, dass mindestens ein Abschnitt mindestens eine Dichtfläche zum Abdichten mindestens eines Elements der Leichtbauplatte, insbesondere einer Schmalfläche einer Deckplatte, einer Deckplatte und/oder Mittellage aufweist, kann die Dichtheit und der Schutz der Schmalflächen und/oder Mittellage zusätzlich verbessert werden. Dabei kann zum Abdichten, was durch Verkleben der Dichtflächen mit den Schmalflächen und/oder den Deckplatten im Bereich der Mittellage sowie der Mittellage selber erfolgen kann, jeder bekannte Kleber Verwendung finden.Characterized in that at least one section at least one sealing surface for sealing at least one element of the lightweight building board, in particular a narrow surface of a Cover plate, a cover plate and / or middle layer, the tightness and protection of the narrow surfaces and / or center layer can be further improved. In this case, for sealing what can be done by gluing the sealing surfaces with the narrow surfaces and / or the cover plates in the region of the central position and the middle layer itself, find any known adhesive use.

Es ist auch denkbar, eine Versiegelungsmasse zum Abdichten zu verwenden. Eine Versiegelungsmasse hat den Vorteil, dass sie nach dem Abbinden keine nennenswerte Klebewirkung entfaltet. Dadurch kann das erfindungsgemäße Abdichtungselement jederzeit ohne eigene Beschädigung und ohne Beschädigung der Leichtbauplatte abgenommen werden. Nach dem Entfernen eventueller Reste der Versiegelungsmasse vom Abdichtungselement oder von der Leichtbauplatte, was aufgrund der nicht vorhandenen Klebewirkung relativ einfach ist, kann sowohl das Abdichtungselement erneut eingesetzt werden als auch die Leichtbauplatte an der zuvor abgedichteten Stelle erneut mit einem Abdichtungselement abgedichtet werden.It is also conceivable to use a sealant for sealing. A sealant has the advantage that it does not develop any appreciable adhesive effect after setting. As a result, the sealing element according to the invention can be removed at any time without own damage and without damaging the lightweight board. After removing any remains of the sealing compound from the sealing element or from the lightweight board, which is relatively easy due to the non-existing adhesive effect, both the sealing element can be used again and the lightweight panel are sealed at the previously sealed site again with a sealing element.

Auch kann die mindestens eine Dichtfläche mit einem Klebstoff versehen sein. Alternativ oder zusätzlich kann die mindestens eine Dichtfläche mit einem Klebeband versehen sein. Durch die Klebewirkung wird neben einer guten Abdichtung auch eine optimale Befestigung des Abdichtungselements erreicht.Also, the at least one sealing surface may be provided with an adhesive. Alternatively or additionally, the at least one sealing surface may be provided with an adhesive tape. The adhesive effect, in addition to a good seal and an optimal attachment of the sealing element is achieved.

Insbesondere ist der Klebstoff, das Klebeband und/oder die Versiegelungsmasse bereits werksseitig auf dem Abdichtungselement aufgebracht. Dann muss keine separate Dichtmasse, gemeint ist Klebstoff, Klebeband oder Versiegelungsmasse, verwendet werden, was die Handhabung des Abdichtungselements erleichtert. Die Dichtmasse ist vorzugsweise in einer Form aufgebracht, die vor der Montage des Abdichtungselements eine Aktivierung erfordert. Beispielsweise kann der Klebstoff, das Klebeband und/oder die Versiegelungsmasse in verkapselter Form vorliegen. Auch kann eine Abdeckung vorgesehen sein, beispielsweise ein das Klebeband abdeckender Schutzstreifen, die vor dem Verkleben lediglich entfernt werden muss und so den Klebstoff aktiviert. Dadurch wird verhindert, dass die Dichtmasse mit anderen Elementen vor dem Aktivieren, beispielsweise dem Abziehen der Abdeckung, in Kontakt kommt.In particular, the adhesive, the adhesive tape and / or the sealing compound is already applied on the sealing element at the factory. Then, no separate sealant, meaning adhesive, tape or sealant, must be used, resulting in the handling of the product Sealing element facilitates. The sealant is preferably applied in a form which requires activation prior to assembly of the seal member. For example, the adhesive, the adhesive tape and / or the sealant may be in encapsulated form. It is also possible to provide a cover, for example a protective strip covering the adhesive tape, which merely has to be removed before bonding and thus activates the adhesive. This prevents the sealant comes into contact with other elements before activating, for example, the removal of the cover.

Weiterhin kann gemäß einer Ausgestaltung der innere Abschnitt eine zum Befestigen eines mechanischen Befestigungselementes geeignete Breite aufweisen. So kann das Abdichtungselement im Ausschnitt angeordnet und durch ein mechanisches Befestigungselement mit der Leichtbauplatte verbunden werden. Insbesondere kann es sich beim Befestigungselement um eine Schraube oder um einen Dübel handeln, der idealerweise wieder entfernbar ist, damit das Abdichtungselement bei Bedarf aus dem Ausschnitt genommen werden kann.Furthermore, according to one embodiment, the inner portion may have a width suitable for attaching a mechanical fastener. Thus, the sealing element can be arranged in the cutout and connected by a mechanical fastener to the lightweight board. In particular, the fastening element can be a screw or a dowel, which can ideally be removed again, so that the sealing element can be removed from the cutout if necessary.

Gemäß noch einer Ausgestaltung kann ein mechanisches Befestigungselement ein weiteres Element mit dem Abdichtungselement verbinden. So kann beispielsweise eine Herdplatte oder eine Spüle mit dem Abdichtungselement durch ein mechanisches Befestigungselement, beispielsweise einer im Abdichtungselement befestigten Schraube, verbunden sein.According to another embodiment, a mechanical fastening element can connect a further element to the sealing element. For example, a stove top or a sink may be connected to the sealing element by a mechanical fastening element, for example a screw fastened in the sealing element.

Der äußere Abschnitt kann zudem eine Stufe aufweisen, die von einem mechanischen Befestigungselement hintergriffen werden kann. Das mechanische Befestigungselement kann dann ein Haken sein, der an einer Herdplatte oder einer Spüle angeordnet ist.The outer portion may also have a step which is engaged behind by a mechanical fastener can. The mechanical fastener may then be a hook disposed on a stovetop or sink.

Es kann vorteilhaft sein, wenn der innere Abschnitt in Längsrichtung des Abdichtungselements abschnittsweise ausgeführt ist. Dadurch kann die Elastizität des Abdichtungselements, unabhängig von dessen Material, entscheidend verbessert werden.It may be advantageous if the inner portion is designed in sections in the longitudinal direction of the sealing element. As a result, the elasticity of the sealing element, regardless of its material, be significantly improved.

Dies kann durch abschnittsweise beabstandete innere Abschnitte vorgesehen sein, so dass jeweils zwischen zwei inneren Abschnitten eine Ausnehmung vorhanden ist. Dabei können die Ausnehmungen eine Breite aufweisen, die kleiner als die Breite der inneren Abschnitte ist, so dass die inneren Abschnitte noch teilweise miteinander verbunden sind. Die Ausnehmungen können aber auch die inneren Abschnitte vollständig voneinander beabstanden. Es ist sogar bei Bedarf möglich, die Breite der Ausnehmungen so zu wählen, dass die Ausnehmung teilweise auch im äußeren Abschnitt vorgesehen ist. Weiterhin kann auch ein zuvor einstückiger innerer Abschnitt durch Schnitte abschnittsweise ausgeführt werden. Insbesondere können die Schnitte, ebenso wie die zuvor erwähnten Ausnehmungen, die inneren Abschnitte teilweise oder vollständig voneinander trennen und ebenfalls teilweise bis in den äußeren Abschnitt ausgeführt sein.This can be provided by sectionally spaced inner sections, so that in each case a recess is present between two inner sections. In this case, the recesses may have a width which is smaller than the width of the inner portions, so that the inner portions are still partially connected to each other. However, the recesses can also completely space the inner sections. It is even possible, if necessary, to choose the width of the recesses so that the recess is partially provided in the outer portion. Furthermore, a previously integral inner section can be performed in sections by sections. In particular, the cuts, as well as the aforementioned recesses, may partially or completely separate the inner portions and may also be partially made into the outer portion.

Außerdem kann gemäß einer anderen Ausgestaltung vorgesehen sein, dass der äußere Abschnitt mindestens eine Lippe zum Übergreifen auf die Oberfläche einer der Deckplatten aufweist, so dass ein weiter erhöhter Schutz gegen eindringende Feuchtigkeit gegeben ist.In addition, according to another embodiment, it can be provided that the outer section has at least one lip for reaching over the surface of one of the cover plates, so that a further increased protection against penetrating moisture is provided.

Gemäß wiederum einer weiteren Ausgestaltung kann vorgesehen sein, dass der im montierten Zustand des Abdichtungselements sichtbare Teil des äußeren Abschnitts und/oder des inneren Abschnitts mit einem Dekor und/oder einer Struktur versehen ist. Auf diese Weise wird ein optisch ansprechendes Abdichtungselement geschaffen. Das Dekor und/oder die Struktur kann beim Extrudieren der Abschnitte hergestellt werden. Vorzugsweise ist das Dekor durch eine Beschichtung und/oder durch eine Metallfolie gebildet, die insbesondere poliert, gebürstet und/oder geprägt ist.In accordance with yet another embodiment, it can be provided that the part of the outer section and / or of the inner section which is visible in the assembled state of the sealing element is provided with a decoration and / or a structure. In this way, a visually appealing sealing element is created. The decor and / or structure can be made by extruding the sections. Preferably, the decor is formed by a coating and / or by a metal foil which is in particular polished, brushed and / or embossed.

Weiterhin wird das technische Problem unabhängig durch eine Verwendung gemäß Patentanspruch 14 gelöst, also durch die Verwendung eines Verwendung eines Elements zum Abdecken einer Schmalfläche einer Leichtbauplatte mit einem äußeren Abschnitt, wobei der äußere Abschnitt eine Höhe aufweist, die mindestens dem Abstand der von der Mittellage abgewandten Oberflächen der Deckplatten entspricht, und mit einem inneren Abschnitt, bei dem die voneinander abgewandten Seiten des Abschnitts einen Abstand aufweisen, der mindestens dem Abstand der der Mittellage zugewandten Oberflächen der Deckplatten entspricht, wobei der äußere Abschnitt mit dem inneren Abschnitt einstückig ausgebildet ist, wobei das Element ein Abdichtungselement mit mindestens einer Dichtfläche zum Abdichten mindestens einer Schmalfläche einer Deckplatte und/oder einer Mittellage der Leichtbauplatte ist, das derart ausgebildet ist, dass es im montierten Zustand eine Abdichtung der Schmalfläche der Deckplatte und/oder der Mittellage der Leichtbauplatte ermöglicht, wobei die zwei Deckplatten aus einem Holzwerkstoff gebildet sind, wobei die Mittellage aus einer Kartonwabe gebildet ist, wobei die Dichtfläche mit einer Dichtmasse versehen ist, wobei der innere Abschnitt Rastnasen zum Verrasten an den Deckplatten aufweist, wobei den Rastnasen entsprechende Vertiefungen in den Deckplatten vorgesehen sind, für ein Abdichten mindestens einer Schmalfläche einer Leichtbauplatte, die aus zwei Deckplatten aus einem Holzwerkstoff und einer dazwischen angeordneten Mittellage aus einer Kartonwabe gebildet ist.Furthermore, the technical problem is solved independently by a use according to claim 14, that is by the use of an element for covering a narrow surface of a lightweight panel having an outer portion, wherein the outer portion has a height which is at least the distance away from the central position Surface of the cover plates corresponds, and with an inner portion, wherein the opposite sides of the portion have a distance which corresponds to at least the distance of the central layer facing surfaces of the cover plates, wherein the outer portion is integrally formed with the inner portion, wherein the Element is a sealing element having at least one sealing surface for sealing at least one narrow surface of a cover plate and / or a middle layer of the lightweight board, which is designed such that it seals the narrow surface of the cover plate un in the mounted state D / or the middle position of the lightweight board allows, wherein the two cover plates are formed of a wood material, wherein the central layer is formed of a cardboard honeycomb, wherein the sealing surface is provided with a sealing compound, wherein the inner portion locking lugs for latching to the cover plates, wherein the detents corresponding depressions are provided in the cover plates, for sealing at least one narrow surface of a lightweight board, which is formed of two cover plates of a wood material and a middle layer arranged therebetween of a cardboard honeycomb.

Im Folgenden werden verschiedene Ausführungsbeispiele beschrieben, von denen die mit Bezugnahme auf die Figuren 1 bis 6C sowie 8 und 9 beschriebenen nicht Gegenstand der vorliegenden Erfindung sind, sondern lediglich der besseren Verständlichkeit dienen. Die beanspruchte Erfindung wird anhand der Figuren 7, 10A bis C und 11 beschrieben.In the following, various embodiments will be described, with reference to FIGS FIGS. 1 to 6C and 8 and 9 described are not the subject of the present invention, but are merely for ease of understanding. The claimed invention is based on the FIGS. 7 . 10A to C and 11 described.

Fig. 1 zeigt ein Abdichtungselement für eine Leichtbauplatte, mit einem äußeren Abschnitt 1 und einem mit dem äußeren Abschnitt 1 einstückig verbundenen inneren Abschnitt 2. Dabei handelt es sich um ein extrudiertes Abdichtungselement, von dem nur ein Teil in Fig. 1 gezeigt ist. Die Länge des Abdichtungselements ist auf den jeweiligen Anwendungsfall angepasst. Fig. 1 shows a sealing member for a lightweight board, with an outer portion 1 and an integral with the outer portion 1 inner portion 2. This is an extruded sealing element, of which only a part in Fig. 1 is shown. The length of the sealing element is adapted to the particular application.

Insbesondere ist das Abdichtungselement aus einem elastischen Material hergestellt, das eine gute thermische Festigkeit aufweist. Dabei kann es sich um PVC handeln.In particular, the sealing member is made of an elastic material having a good thermal resistance. It can be PVC.

Wie in Fig. 1 gezeigt, weisen die Abschnitte 1,2 zusammen einen T-förmigen Querschnitt auf.As in Fig. 1 As shown, the sections 1, 2 together have a T-shaped cross-section.

Dabei kann der Abschnitt 1 und/oder Abschnitt 2 Dichtflächen 3,4,5 zum Verkleben mit mindestens einem Element einer Leichtbauplatte 6 aufweisen.In this case, the section 1 and / or section 2 have sealing surfaces 3,4,5 for bonding with at least one element of a lightweight board 6.

Fig. 2 zeigt, dass der innere Abschnitt 2 in Längsrichtung des Abdichtungselements abschnittsweise ausgeführt sein kann. Dadurch kann die Elastizität des Abdichtungselements verbessert werden. Die gestrichelte Linie in Fig. 2 zeigt, dass die gesamte Breite des Abschnitts 2 zur abschnittsweisen Beabstandung der inneren Abschnitte 2 dient. Es ist auch möglich eine kleiner oder größere Breite zu wählen, so dass die inneren Abschnitte 2 noch teilweise einstückig verbunden sein können oder sogar die äußeren Abschnitte teilweise abschnittsweise ausgeführt sind. Fig. 2 shows that the inner portion 2 can be made in sections in the longitudinal direction of the sealing element. Thereby, the elasticity of the sealing member can be improved. The dashed line in Fig. 2 shows that the entire width of the section 2 for the sectional spacing of the inner portions 2 is used. It is also possible to choose a smaller or larger width, so that the inner sections 2 can still be partially connected in one piece or even the outer sections are partially executed in sections.

In einem nicht gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel können die inneren Abschnitte 2 auch durch Schnitte voneinander getrennt und so abschnittsweise ausgeführt werden.In an embodiment not shown, the inner sections 2 can also be separated from each other by cuts and thus executed in sections.

In Fig. 3A wird ein Abdichtungselement im in eine Leichtbauplatte 6 eingesteckten Zustand gezeigt. Der Bereich 7 in Fig. 3 ist ein Teil eines Ausschnitts 16 der Leichtbauplatte 6, der in Fig. 9 erläutert ist. Es kann sich um einen runden, rechteckigen oder in sonstiger Weise geformten Ausschnitt 16 handeln.In Fig. 3A a sealing element is shown inserted in a lightweight panel 6 state. The area 7 in Fig. 3 is a part of a section 16 of the lightweight panel 6, which is in Fig. 9 is explained. It may be a round, rectangular or otherwise shaped cutout 16.

Weiterhin ist gezeigt, dass der äußere Abschnitt 1 eine Höhe H1 aufweist, die dem Abstand der von der Mittellage 9 abgewandten Oberflächen der Deckplatten 8 entspricht und dass der innere Abschnitt 2 eine Höhe H2 aufweist, die dem Abstand der der Mittellage 9 zugewandten Oberflächen der Deckplatten 8 entspricht.Furthermore, it is shown that the outer portion 1 has a height H 1 , which corresponds to the distance of the facing away from the central position 9 surfaces of the cover plates 8 and that the inner portion 2 has a height H 2 , the distance of the central layer 9 facing surfaces the cover plates 8 corresponds.

Wie in Fig. 3A gezeigt, besteht die an sich bekannte Leichtbauplatte 6 aus zwei Deckplatten 8 und einer Mittellage 9. Dabei ist die Mittellage 9 im Bereich des inneren Abschnitts 2 des Abdichtungselements ausgefräst. Der äußere Abschnitt 1 liegt an den Schmalflächen 10 der Deckplatten 8 an und dichtet den Bereich 7 des Ausschnitts 16 der Leichtbauplatte 6 gegenüber der Umgebung ab.As in Fig. 3A shown, there is the known lightweight panel 6 of two cover plates 8 and a central layer 9. Here, the middle layer 9 is milled in the region of the inner portion 2 of the sealing element. The outer portion 1 abuts against the narrow surfaces 10 of the cover plates 8 and seals the region 7 of the cutout 16 of the lightweight panel 6 from the environment.

In Fig. 3B ist eine alternative Ausführungsform zu Fig. 3A gezeigt. Die Höhe H1 des äußeren Abschnitts 1 kann so gewählt sein, dass eine kleine Lippe 20 vom äußeren Abschnitts 1 gebildet wird, die auf die Oberseite der oberen Deckplatte 8 übergreift und die Schmalfläche 10 der oberen Deckplatte 8 nochmals verbessert, insbesondere vor Feuchtigkeit, schützt. Analog kann eine solche Lippe 20 für die untere Deckplatte 8 vorgesehen sein.In Fig. 3B is an alternative embodiment to Fig. 3A shown.
