EP2299025A2 - Shingle holder for fast-fit assembly of plates and glass panels, mounting method of a shingle holder - Google Patents

Abstract

The scale-holder has multi-part profiles that are made of a light alloy or plastic, which form a receiving space for receiving a glass plate (39) and another receiving space. The latter receiving space is connected to the former receiving space for receiving another glass plate (41). The former receiving space has two hook-engageable profiles. An independent claim is also included for a method for a high-speed assembly for plates or glass plates.

Description

The invention relates to a shed holder for the quick assembly of plates and glass panels and a method for assembling such a shed holder.

Shed holders for mounting panels and glass panels are used in a known manner as intent facade for building.

It is usually multi-angled profiles that z. B. may consist of an aluminum material, a plastic or the like and record between them to be held plates or glass panels.

For the sake of simpler description, it is assumed in the following description only that glass panels are to be mounted with the scale holder according to the invention. However, the invention is not limited thereto. Any plates with the same scale holders can be mounted, such. As plastic, wood or composites, without departing from the scope of the invention.

The restriction to glass panels is therefore only for reasons of description.

Of course, the term "plates" also ceramic materials or natural materials.

Likewise applies to the following description of the invention that the shed holder is preferably made of an aluminum profile. However, the invention is not limited thereto, the shed holder may also consist of a plastic material.

Likewise, plastic-metal composites can be used.

In the assembly of glass panels, it is known to choose an overlapping arrangement of glass panels, wherein the facade is constructed going from bottom to top.

First, a floor-level shed holder is mounted on the facade and pushed the lower end edge of the glass panel to be held in the upwardly open shed holder and held there.

Next, another shed holder is placed on the upper end of the already already gealtertenerten glass panel and bolted to the wall, the first glass panel is firmly connected to the facade.

The next, then arranged in the horizontal distance to the first glass panel further glass panel is now frontally in the horizontal direction on the freed from its clamping part shed holder attached, the two parts are snapped into each other, whereby then the bottom-side part of the second glass plate is attached.

In the assembly of such shingled glass facades, it is known to produce the shed holder from each other screwed individual profiles. But there is the disadvantage that elaborate screw connections must be made, which must be tested for strength and must be tightened with a certain torque. Another disadvantage is that each screw must be secured to this shed holder against vibration, which is associated with a lot of effort.

In addition to the provision of a variety of mounting parts, there is the further disadvantage that there is a risk that the items of the screwed-together scale holder can inadvertently loosen or loosen over a longer period of time, causing the entire structure in danger.

The assembly effort is immense, because usually there is such a shed holder according to the prior art from at least 4 Screw connections. Other types of shed holders are known which have 7 screw connections.

This is where the invention, which has set itself the task of further developing a shed holder for the rapid assembly of plates and glass panels of the type mentioned so that it can be built easier, that he works more reliable and that its installation is easier and faster.

To solve the problem, the invention is characterized by the technical teaching of claim 1.

An essential feature of the invention is that the shed holder consists of at least two mutually hookable profiles, wherein the entanglement of the two profiles takes place such that the load which exerts the wall-removed glass sheet on the shed holder, used to solidify the hook connection.

Thus, according to the invention, this is a self-hardening hook connection in the construction of a scale holder, which was not yet known.

For this reason, it is now possible to perform the shed holder completely without screw and only provide at least one suspension connection (also called later hook connection).

In the simplest case, if the shed holder serves only for holding the upper end and another shed holder for holding a lower end of a same glass sheet, it is sufficient to form the shed holder in two parts in both its upper and in its lower version.

However, if spaced apart glass panels must be mounted, which form a facade overlapping each other in the mutual horizontal distance, then the shed holder according to the invention should be formed at least in three parts.

Under a three-part training is understood here that this consists of a wall-side, angled base profile, which forms a first hook connection with an adjoining and verhakbaren with the base profile clamping part.

This clamping part, in turn, forms, in conjunction with a further clamping part which attaches thereto, a further insertion opening for a glass panel which can be suspended from above in this further insertion opening and which overlaps with the first-mentioned glass panel.

Of these two compounds of the three parts so should one connection as a hook-slot connection, and the other connection may also be formed according to an inventive idea as a hook-slot connection.

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, however, it is provided that not two hook-slot connections for connecting the three profile parts are present, but that in addition to a single hook-slot connection between the near-wall base profile and the adjoining upper clamping profile a latching connection is provided which is formed between the upper clamping part and an adjoining lower clamping part to form a receiving opening for the holder of the adjoining upper glass sheet.

Important in all embodiments is that the shed holder works completely screwless, because it is sufficient to screw only the wall-side base profile to an associated mounting surface. Here, the wall-side base profile does not necessarily have a right angle. The wall-side base profile can also be designed as a plate which is screwed onto a corresponding horizontal surface or fastened in another way.

It is also possible, instead of a screw connection of the wall-side base profile to provide welds or other types of fastening to the mounting surface.

In any case, it is important in all embodiments of the invention that, when assembling the shed holder according to the invention, the glass panel, which presses from top to bottom on the shed holder, biases and loads the hooked connection (slot-hook connection) of the multi-part shed holder in the sense of a self-consolidating connection, so that can be dispensed with further fastening means.

In one embodiment of the invention, it is provided that fuses are provided against unintentional unhooking of the hook-slot connection.

For this purpose, it is provided that in the intermediate space between the hooked profiles an insertion opening is provided, in which a wedge profile is inserted, which prevents unwanted unhooking of the hook-slot connection.

It may be provided in a development that this spline is glued or otherwise secured in the insertion opening against retraction. Such backups against retraction are z. B. locking connections, barbs and the like.

In the same way, the latching connection between the lower clamping part and the upper clamping part is secured against renewed disengagement.

Again, a similar wedge profile is inserted into an insertion opening, which consists of both surfaces of one and surfaces of the other clamping part, and secured in the manner described above against re-withdrawal.

The subject of the present invention results not only from the subject matter of the individual claims, but also from the combination of the individual claims with each other.

All information and features disclosed in the documents, including the abstract, in particular the spatial design shown in the drawings, are claimed to be essential to the invention insofar as they are novel individually or in combination with respect to the prior art. In the following, the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to drawings illustrating several execution paths. Here are from the drawings and their description further features essential to the invention and advantages of the invention.

FIG. 8:

one opposite FIG. 1 and 2 modified embodiment of the hook-slot connection between the base profile and the upper clamping part

In the FIGS. 1 to 4 a wall-side base profile 1 is shown, which consists of an angled aluminum profile, which has a first vertical base leg 9, which forms a vertically extending slot 10.

On this slot, an adjustment plate 3 is placed, wherein the inside of the base leg 9 and the associated inner side of a patch thereon adjusting plate 3 are provided with corresponding locking surfaces 11, which thus according to FIG. 1 get stuck together.

Through the bore 12 in the adjustment plate 3, a mounting screw 7 is inserted with a disc 8 through, and the bolt-side end of the mounting screw 7 is screwed into a wall-side receiving bore, not shown.

Thus, the base leg 9 of the base profile 1 is fixedly secured to an associated wall surface, not shown.

Already in the general part has been pointed out that the base leg 9 does not necessarily have to be designed as a vertical leg. It can also be designed as a horizontal leg, so that a corresponding horizontal mounting of the base profile 1 is given.

The vertical base leg 9 continues at an angle of 90 ° in a horizontal leg 13, which forms a kink 19 in the course of its longitudinal extent. The kink is an angular offset of the horizontal extent in the region of the horizontal leg 13, in order to avoid an undesired inclination of the plates to be mounted 39, 41 compared to the mounting surface on the wall.

In the region of this horizontal leg 13, a transverse slot 14 is provided, which is bounded laterally by associated lateral webs 52.

This slot 14 is part of a hook-slot connection of the profiles to be joined together, because according to the invention the clamping part 2 is hooked onto the base profile 1.

For this purpose, at the front end of the clamping part 2 (see FIG. 3 ) in the region of the horizontal leg 18 - on the underside thereof - arranged a downwardly and forwardly directed hook profile 20 which is hung in the direction of arrow 46 in the size-adapted slot 14, as it is in FIG. 1 and 4 such as FIG. 5 is shown.

Thus, the horizontal leg 18 sets on the top of the beyond the slot 14 arranged projection 15 in the region of the horizontal leg 13 of the base profile 1 load-transmitting, as in FIG. 1 is shown.

If, according to the upper clamping member 2 is mounted with its horizontal leg 18 and its attached hook profile 20 in the slot 14 of the leg 13 of the base profile 1, there is an entanglement of the two profiles, and the two facing surfaces form an insertion opening sixteenth This is formed by the fact that the base profile 1, a further vertical leg 17 is arranged, which forms an inwardly directed rib 35, which is the bottom-side boundary of the insertion opening 16.

In an analogous manner, the vertical leg 22 of the upper clamping part 2 forms a likewise inwardly directed abutment shoulder 21, which corresponds to the rib 35, so that thus the insertion opening 16 is defined.

By means of the pivotable hook connection 20, a stepless adjustment of the two parts 1, 2 can thus be implemented.

In order to protect the two parts 1, 2 against unintentional unhooking in the opposite direction to the arrow 46, in this insertion opening 16, a spline 36 according to FIG. 7 inserted in the direction of arrow 37. This is according to FIG. 7 from a flat material 48, which merges into a tip 38 in the front region.

Thus, the wedge profile 36 in the direction of arrow 37 in this insertion opening 16 (perpendicular to the plane of the FIG. 1 Inserted and hooked there with means not shown, locked or glued.

The upper clamping part 2 in conjunction with the vertical leg 17 of the base profile 1 forms a first receiving space (53) for the upper end of a there-to-hold plate 39, the upper end in a in FIG. 3 shown elastic receiving profile 4 is added.

This receiving profile 4 consists - as well as the receiving profile 5 - of two spaced-apart vertical clamping legs 27 made of an elastomeric material, which are materially connected to each other by a base leg. These clamping legs 27 are each provided with friction surfaces on their inner sides with latching surfaces 28. Thus, in each case the upper end of the disc or plate 39 and the lower end of the disc or plate 41 is clamped at such a clamping part 5, 6 and kept flexible there.

For optical rounding of the attachment, it is provided in a development of the invention that in each case a cap 40 on the front side in the direction of the drawing surface of the FIG. 1 is clipped onto the spline 36 and the insertion opening 16 to cover this insertion opening also frontally.

This is a privacy screen.

As stated above, it is sufficient in the simplest embodiment of a shed holder to hook the two profile parts 1, 2 with the hook connection 14, 20 according to the invention with each other.

Is it however according to FIG. 1 Therefore, to connect a plurality of glass sheets at a mutual distance together, then a three-part shed holder is provided, which consists essentially of the base profile 1, the upper clamping part 2 and the lower clamping part 6.

This connection between the clamping part 6 and the clamping part 2 is inventively designed as a latching connection or suspension connection. It can - as shown in the general part - be designed as a hook-slot connection.

In the embodiment shown goes according to FIG. 3 the vertical leg 22 of the upper clamping part 2 in a protruding at 90 ° angle horizontal leg 23 on which an oblique leg 24 connects at a vertical distance, which is not formed parallel to the extension of the horizontal leg 23.

In the region of this oblique leg 24, a slot 25 is arranged.

The oblique arrangement of the leg 24 is used for wedging. In the insertion groove 25, namely engages a likewise obliquely formed longitudinal rib 32 at the front lower end of a horizontal leg 31, which is attached approximately at right angles to the vertical leg 29 of the lower clamping part 6.

The vertical leg 29 is formed with a thinned top 30 for optical reasons and weight saving reasons.

Further, on the horizontal leg 31, two spaced apart and equally formed longitudinal ribs 33, 34 are provided.

In the assembled state according to FIG. 1 It can be seen that the latching takes place in that arranged in the region of the horizontal leg 31 longitudinal rib 32 engages latching in the associated insertion groove 25 on the upper clamping part 2 and is locked there.

In order to pull out the lower clamping part 6 in the horizontal direction of the arrow FIG. 1 To prevent, in turn, a spline 36 is inserted into the insertion opening 16 and held in a positionally secured manner in the manner described above.

It abuts laterally on a spacer rib 42, which is arranged on the inside of the vertical leg 29 of the clamping part 6.

The wedge profile 36 lays with its upper side against the underside of the horizontal leg 23 of the upper clamping part 2 and presses with its underside on the horizontal leg 31 of the lower clamping part 6 from.

As a result, it presses against the grooves 33, 34.

For mounting the upper plate 41, the clamping part 6 is first removed from the upper clamping part 2, and it is first the elastic receiving profile 5 is placed on the underside of the plate 41 to be fastened.

Sonach is then pushed in the horizontal direction, the lower clamping member 6 with its forwardly projecting horizontal leg 31 in the forwardly open longitudinal groove 26 of the upper clamping part 2 and - because the leg 24 is formed obliquely, there is a wedging of the longitudinal rib 32 on the horizontal Leg 31 of the clamping profile 6 in the insertion groove 25 on the upper clamping part 2. The clamping part 6 thus forms together with the vertical leg 22 from the receiving space 54.

By wedging it comes to a completely secure and self-consolidating locking connection, because this is no longer solvable when the spline 36 is inserted into the insertion opening 16 and stored there. At the same time, the weight of the plate 41 in the direction of arrow 49 leads to a corresponding weight preload and to generate a torque in the direction of arrow 50 on this latching connection, which forwards this torque on the vertical leg 22 of the upper clamping part 2 on the hook connection.

The hook connection is thereby solidified and secured. Another backup with the help of the spline 36 would not be necessary in and of itself. However, after vibration loads can act on this scale holder, the wedge profile 36 of the insertion opening 16 is inserted for further securing.

In this self-consolidating connection and the hook 20 makes a pivoting movement in the direction of arrow 51 in the direction of the underside of the horizontal leg 13 of the base profile 1 and possibly creates a load-transferring to the bottom.

It may of course be provided that the length of this hook profile 20 is formed substantially longer, to ensure that the top of this hook profile load-bearing and forming z. B. a barb-like profile to the underside of the horizontal leg 13 of the base profile 1 applies.

The FIG. 2 shows as a modification of in FIG. 1 Shed holder shown a further shed holder 1 a, the base profile is formed in two parts. Otherwise, the same reference numerals apply to the same parts.

In this basic profile 1a, the difference is therefore only that in the region of the horizontal leg 13, a connecting surface is present and the length of the leg 13a in the horizontal direction adjustable and lockable by means of the screw 43 and the nut 44 is formed. It is thus the adjustment direction 45 changeable.

Incidentally, it is provided that on the vertical leg 17 - at the bottom - a stop edge 47 is provided for the support of the elastic receiving profile 4 applied there.

Advantage of the scale holder according to the invention is the ease of installation, which can be done completely without screws, the self-locking connection, which solidifies under load more and more, without the need for readjustment of screw connections and easy installation.

In FIG. 8 shows the kinematic reversal of a hook connection according to the invention, and it is shown that the hook profile 20a is also disposed in the region of the horizontal leg 13 of the base profile 1 and arranged in an associated slot 14a in the region of the horizontal leg 18 of the upper clamping part 2 can.

A particular advantage of the hook connection according to the invention is the low vertical structure of the entire arrangement, so that therefore a very low overall height can be achieved.
