  • a spacer element is understood to mean a component which defines the distance between the base body on the one hand and the facade element or the facade element holder on the other hand. This distance is determined in particular by a thickness of an insulating layer usually arranged between the facade element and a wall.
  • the connecting device enables a particularly simple mounting of the spacer element on the base body. It is sufficient to insert the spacer element in a largely perpendicular to the wall surface extending insertion into the receiving area. Already in an incompletely inserted state of the spacer this is positively held in the receiving area. As a result, a defined pre-assembly state is created. The final assembly is then carried out by further movement of the male and thus the spacer in the direction of the body.

  • This has the advantage that a possibly in Inserting seen between the spacer and the body existing game is excluded. This is particularly advantageous when a locking device described above is provided, the game can be compensated by the bias of the spacer at least partially. Overall, thus a backlash-free and thus wear-resistant and quiet connection between spacer and body are created.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Verbindungseinrichtung zur Verbindung einer Wand mit einem Fassadenelement oder mit einem Fassadenelementhalter, umfassend einen Grundkörper mit einer Anlagefläche zur Anlage gegen eine Wandfläche und mit mindestens einem Befestigungsabschnitt zur Befestigung des Grundkörpers an der Wand und mit mindestens einem Aufnahmebereich zur Aufnahme eines in diesen einsteckbaren Abstandselements, welches mit dem Fassadenelement oder dem Fassadenelementhalter verbunden oder verbindbar ist.The invention relates to a connecting device for connecting a wall with a facade element or with a facade element holder, comprising a base body with a contact surface for abutment against a wall surface and at least one attachment portion for attachment of the base body to the wall and at least one receiving area for receiving a in this insertable spacer element which is connected to the facade element or the facade element holder or connectable.

Eine solche Verbindungseinrichtung wird von der Firma BWM Dübel + Montagetechnik GmbH, Leinfelden-Echterdingen, Deutschland unter der Bezeichnung "ATK 100 ZeLa" angeboten. Diese Verbindungseinrichtung ermöglicht eine relativ einfache Montage, bei welcher der Grundkörper an einer Wand fixierbar ist. Der Grundkörper weist einander gegenüberliegende Aussparungen auf, in welche einander abgewandte Einsteckzungen eines Abstandselements einsteckbar sind. Hierbei wird unter Schrägstellung des Abstandselements zunächst eine erste Einsteckzunge eingefädelt. Dann wird das Abstandselement in horizontaler Richtung ausgerichtet und in vertikaler Richtung bewegt, sodass die zweite Einsteckzunge in Eingriff mit einer zweiten Aussparung des Grundkörpers gelangt. Diese Verbindungseinrichtung ermöglicht eine vertikale Bewegbarkeit des Abstandselements relativ zu dem Grundhalter. Diese Bewegbarkeit kann bei Bedarf mittels eines zusätzlichen Rastelements unterbunden werden.Such a connection device is offered by the company BWM Dübel + Montagetechnik GmbH, Leinfelden-Echterdingen, Germany under the name "ATK 100 ZeLa". This connection device allows a relatively simple installation, in which the main body to a wall can be fixed. The main body has mutually opposite recesses into which mutually facing insertion tongues of a spacer can be inserted. Here, a first insertion tongue is first threaded under oblique position of the spacer. Then, the spacer is aligned in the horizontal direction and moved in the vertical direction, so that the second insertion tongue comes into engagement with a second recess of the main body. This connecting device allows vertical mobility of the spacer relative to the base holder. This mobility can be prevented if necessary by means of an additional locking element.

Dieser Abstand wird insbesondere durch eine Dicke einer üblicherweise zwischen dem Fassadenelement und einer Wand angeordneten Dämmschicht bestimmt.A spacer element is understood to mean a component which defines the distance between the base body on the one hand and the facade element or the facade element holder on the other hand. This distance is determined in particular by a thickness of an insulating layer usually arranged between the facade element and a wall.

Die erfindungsgemäße Verbindungseinrichtung ermöglicht eine besonders einfache Montage des Abstandselements an dem Grundkörper. Es genügt, das Abstandselement in einer weitestgehend senkrecht zu der Wandfläche verlaufenden Einsteckrichtung in den Aufnahmebereich einzustecken. Bereits in einem nicht vollständig eingesteckten Zustand des Abstandselements ist dieses formschlüssig in dem Aufnahmebereich gehalten. Hierdurch wird ein definierter Vormontagezustand geschaffen. Die Fertigmontage erfolgt dann durch weitere Bewegung des Einsteckabschnitts und somit des Abstandselements in Richtung auf den Grundkörper.The connecting device according to the invention enables a particularly simple mounting of the spacer element on the base body. It is sufficient to insert the spacer element in a largely perpendicular to the wall surface extending insertion into the receiving area. Already in an incompletely inserted state of the spacer this is positively held in the receiving area. As a result, a defined pre-assembly state is created. The final assembly is then carried out by further movement of the male and thus the spacer in the direction of the body.

Der Formschluss des Einsteckabschnitts mit dem Aufnahmebereich verhindert eine Relativbewegung zwischen dem Abstandselement und dem Grundkörper. Hierdurch wird eine für das eingangs genannte System "ATK 100 ZeLa" durchaus gewünschte Relativbewegbarkeit zwischen dem Abstandselement und dem Grundkörper unterbunden.The positive connection of the insertion section with the receiving region prevents a relative movement between the spacer element and the main body. As a result, a relatively desired relative movement between the spacer element and the base body is prevented for the aforementioned system "ATK 100 ZeLa".

Dabei ist auch die erfindungsgemäße Verbindungseinrichtung sowohl als sogenannter Festpunkt als auch als sogenannter Gleitpunkt verwendbar. Für einen Festpunkt werden Fassadenelement oder Fassadenelementhalter unbewegbar mit dem Abstandselement verbunden. Für einen Gleitpunkt wird eine Relativbewegbarkeit zwischen dem Abstandselement und dem Fassadenelement oder dem Fassadenelementhalter zugelassen.The connection device according to the invention can also be used both as a so-called fixed point and as a so-called floating point. For a fixed point facade element or facade element holder are immovably connected to the spacer element. For a floating point is a Relativbewegbarkeit between the spacer and the facade element or the facade element holder allowed.

Bevorzugt ist es, wenn der Formschluss eine Bewegung des Abstandselements in einer zu der Schwerkraftrichtung parallelen Bewegungsrichtung verhindert. Mit anderen Worten: Das Abstandselement lässt sich in einem abschnittsweise oder vollständig eingesteckten Zustand relativ zu dem Grundkörper nicht nach oben oder nach unten bewegen. Zu diesem Zweck weist der Aufnahmebereich beispielsweise entsprechende Anlageflächen auf, welche parallel zu der Einsteckrichtung und quer zu der Schwerkraftrichtung orientiert sind.It is preferred if the positive locking prevents a movement of the spacer in a direction parallel to the direction of gravity movement direction. In other words, the spacing element can not be moved up or down relative to the base body in a partially or completely inserted state. For this purpose, the receiving area, for example, corresponding contact surfaces, which are oriented parallel to the insertion direction and transverse to the direction of gravity.

Bevorzugt ist es ferner, wenn der Formschluss eine Bewegung des Abstandselements in einer Bewegungsrichtung quer zu der Schwerkraftrichtung verhindert. Auch hierfür können Anlageflächen vorgesehen sein, welche sich parallel zu der Einsteckrichtung erstrecken und zumindest eine in Schwerkraftrichtung verlaufende Richtungskomponente aufweisen.It is further preferred if the positive locking prevents movement of the spacer element in a direction of movement transverse to the direction of gravity. Also for this purpose, contact surfaces can be provided, which extend parallel to the plug-in direction and have at least one direction component running in the direction of gravity.

Insbesondere ist es bevorzugt, wenn der Formschluss eine Bewegung des Abstandselements in Drehrichtung um die Einsteckrichtung verhindert, so dass ein torsionsstabile Verbindung zwischen dem Abstandselement und dem Grundkörper geschaffen wird.In particular, it is preferred if the positive connection prevents a movement of the spacer element in the direction of rotation about the insertion direction, so that a torsionally stable connection between the spacer element and the base body is created.

Bei einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass der Aufnahmebereich mindestens eine sich parallel zu der Einsteckrichtung erstreckende Nut aufweist. Diese ermöglicht eine einfache Führung entlang eines Einsteckwegs des Abstandselements.In one embodiment of the invention it is provided that the receiving region has at least one groove extending parallel to the insertion direction. This allows easy guidance along a Einsteckwegs of the spacer.

Besonders bevorzugt ist es, wenn der Aufnahmebereich zwei zueinander beabstandete Nuten aufweist, zwischen der Einsteckabschnitt anordenbar oder angeordnet ist. Dies ermöglicht eine besonders einfache Ausgestaltung eines Aufnahmebereichs, in welchem das Abstandselement in Schwerkraftrichtung und quer zur Schwerkraftrichtung formschlüssig gehalten ist.It is particularly preferred if the receiving region has two mutually spaced grooves, can be arranged or arranged between the male portion. This allows a particularly simple embodiment of a receiving area in which the spacer element is held positively in the direction of gravity and transversely to the direction of gravity.

Bei einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist ein Sicherungselement vorgesehen, welches mit dem Aufnahmebereich verbindbar oder verbunden ist und einen Abstand von zwei zueinander beabstandeten Nuten relativ zueinander begrenzt. Ein solches Sicherungselement verhindert eine unerwünschte Aufweitung der Nuten relativ zueinander.In a further preferred embodiment, a securing element is provided, which is connectable or connected to the receiving area and limits a distance of two mutually spaced grooves relative to each other. Such a securing element prevents unwanted expansion of the grooves relative to each other.

Bei einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist eine Rasteinrichtung vorgesehen. Diese dient zur rastenden Fixierung des Abstandselements an dem Grundkörper, wobei der Grundkörper einen ersten Rastabschnitt und das Abstandselement einen zweiten Rastabschnitt aufweist, wobei der erste Rastabschnitt und der zweite Rastabschnitt miteinander verrastbar oder verrastet sind, wenn der Einsteckabschnitt des Abstandselements zumindest weitestgehend vollständig in den Aufnahmebereich des Grundkörpers eingesteckt ist. Die Rasteinrichtung ermöglicht eine besonders einfache Sicherung des Abstandselements gegen ein Entfernen des Abstandselements durch Bewegung desselben entgegen der Einsteckrichtung.In a further preferred embodiment of the invention, a locking device is provided. This is used for latching fixation of the spacer element on the base body, wherein the base body has a first latching portion and the spacer element has a second latching portion, wherein the first latching portion and the second latching portion are latched or latched together when the insertion of the spacer at least substantially completely into the receiving area of the main body is inserted. The locking device allows a particularly simple securing of the spacer against removal of the spacer element by movement thereof opposite to the insertion direction.

Die Verrastung erfolgt vorzugsweise selbsttätig, wobei die Rastabschnitte während des Einsteckens des Abstandselements in den Aufnahmebereich aufeinander abgleiten und erst in einem zumindest weitestgehend vollständig in den Aufnahmebereich des Grundkörpers eingesteckten Zustand in einen miteinander verrasteten Zustand gelangen.The latching is preferably carried out automatically, wherein the latching portions slide off each other during the insertion of the spacer into the receiving area and only in one at least as far as possible completely in the Receiving area of the body inserted state get into a locked state.

Vorzugsweise ist eine zwischen den Rastabschnitten hergestellte Rastverbindung lösbar, indem einer der Rastabschnitte in eine Löseposition überführt wird. Dies ermöglicht eine zerstörungsfreie Demontage des Abstandselements von dem Grundkörper.Preferably, a latching connection produced between the latching sections is releasable by one of the latching sections is transferred to a release position. This allows a non-destructive disassembly of the spacer from the body.

Bevorzugt ist es, wenn zur Verrastung (und/oder Entrastung) der Rastabschnitte zumindest einer der Rastabschnitte in einer Richtung quer zu der Einsteckrichtung bewegbar ist. Dies ermöglicht es, relativ große Rastabschnitte vorzusehen, welche bezogen auf die Einsteckrichtung des Abstandselements seitlich wirken.It is preferred if, for latching (and / or unlocking) of the latching sections, at least one of the latching sections is movable in a direction transverse to the plug-in direction. This makes it possible to provide relatively large latching sections, which act laterally relative to the insertion direction of the spacer element.

Bevorzugt ist es ferner, wenn der Grundkörper einen Anschlag zur Begrenzung eines Einsteckwegs des Einsteckabschnitts umfasst. Hierdurch wird einem Monteur eine haptische Rückmeldung darüber gegeben, dass der Einsteckabschnitt zumindest weitestgehend vollständig in den Aufnahmebereich eingesteckt ist.It is further preferred if the base body comprises a stop for limiting an insertion path of the insertion section. As a result, a fitter is given a haptic feedback to a fitter about that the insertion portion is at least largely completely inserted into the receiving area.

Bevorzugt ist es ferner, wenn der Anschlag zumindest in Einsteckrichtung bewegbar und/oder verformbar ist. Dies ermöglicht eine toleranzunempfindliche Auslegung des Abstandselements und des Grundkörpers.It is further preferred if the stop is movable and / or deformable at least in the insertion direction. This allows a tolerance-insensitive interpretation of the spacer and the body.

Besonders bevorzugt ist es, wenn der Anschlag in einem zumindest weitestgehend vollständig in den Aufnahmebereich des Grundkörpers eingesteckten Zustand des Einsteckabschnitts unter Vorspannung an dem Abstandselement anliegt, sodass der Anschlag eine entgegengesetzt zur Einsteckrichtung wirkende Kraft auf das Abstandselement ausübt. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass ein möglicherweise in Einsteckrichtung gesehen zwischen dem Abstandselement und dem Grundkörper vorhandenes Spiel ausgeschlossen wird. Dies ist insbesondere vorteilhaft, wenn eine vorstehend beschriebene Rasteinrichtung vorgesehen ist, deren Spiel durch die Vorspannung des Abstandselements zumindest teilweise ausgeglichen werden kann. Insgesamt kann somit eine spielfreie und somit verschleißunempfindliche und geräuscharme Verbindung zwischen Abstandselement und Grundkörper geschaffen werden.It is particularly preferred if the stop rests in an at least largely fully inserted into the receiving area of the body state of the insertion under bias to the spacer, so that the stop exerts a force acting opposite to the direction of insertion on the spacer. This has the advantage that a possibly in Inserting seen between the spacer and the body existing game is excluded. This is particularly advantageous when a locking device described above is provided, the game can be compensated by the bias of the spacer at least partially. Overall, thus a backlash-free and thus wear-resistant and quiet connection between spacer and body are created.

Bei einer weiteren Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass das Abstandselement ein Gewindeelement zur Verbindung mit dem Fassadenelement oder mit dem Fassadenelementhalter aufweist. Hierbei kann es sich um ein Element handeln, welches ein Innengewinde oder ein Außengewinde aufweist und mit entsprechenden Gegenelementen, welche ein Außengewinde bzw. ein Innengewinde aufweisen, zusammenwirken.In a further embodiment of the invention it is provided that the spacer element has a threaded element for connection to the facade element or with the facade element holder. This may be an element which has an internal thread or an external thread and cooperate with corresponding counter-elements which have an external thread or an internal thread.

Bei einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass der Aufnahmebereich mit dem Grundkörper einstückig ausgebildet ist. Dies ermöglicht einen besonders einfachen Aufbau des Grundkörpers.In a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention it is provided that the receiving area is integrally formed with the base body. This allows a particularly simple construction of the body.

Bevorzugt ist es ferner, wenn der Aufnahmebereich und/oder der Grundkörper und/oder das Abstandselement aus einem Kunststoffmaterial und/oder einem Verbundwerkstoff hergestellt ist oder sind. Prinzipiell ist es möglich, ausschließlich metallische Werkstoffe, beispielsweise Metallschaum, zu verwenden. Jedoch ist es für eine thermische Isolierung zwischen einem Fassadenelement und der Wand vorteilhaft, wenn ein Kunststoffmaterial, beispielsweise Polyamid, verwendet wird. Es können auch mit Fremdmaterialien (beispielsweise Glasfasern) verstärkte Kunststoffe eingesetzt werden. Die Fremdmaterialien können in das Kunststoffmaterial eingebettet sein.It is further preferred if the receiving area and / or the base body and / or the spacer element is or are made of a plastic material and / or a composite material. In principle, it is possible to use exclusively metallic materials, for example metal foam. However, it is advantageous for thermal insulation between a cladding element and the wall when a plastic material, such as polyamide, is used. It can also be reinforced with foreign materials (such as glass fibers) Plastics are used. The foreign materials may be embedded in the plastic material.

Auch ist es möglich, einen (vorzugsweise nicht brennbaren) Kunststoffkern vorzusehen, welcher mit einer Metallschicht beschichtet ist, beispielsweise aus Aluminium. Ein Beispiel für einen solchen Verbundwerkstoff ist "Alucobond", welcher von der Firma Alcan Composites USA Inc. aus Benton, Kentucky, USA angeboten wird.It is also possible to provide a (preferably non-combustible) plastic core which is coated with a metal layer, for example aluminum. An example of such a composite is "Alucobond" offered by Alcan Composites USA Inc. of Benton, Kentucky, USA.

In Figur 1 ist eine Ausführungsform eines Grundkörpers dargestellt und insgesamt mit dem Bezugszeichen 10 bezeichnet. Der Grundkörper weist ein plattenförmiges Fußteil 12 auf, welches eine rückwärtige Anlagefläche 14 zur Anlage gegen eine Wandfläche und eine Vorderseite 16 aufweist.In FIG. 1 an embodiment of a base body is shown and designated overall by the reference numeral 10. The main body has a plate-shaped foot part 12 which has a rear abutment surface 14 for abutment against a wall surface and a front side 16.

Der Fußteil 12 umfasst einen Befestigungsabschnitt 18 zur Befestigung des Grundkörpers 10 an einer Wand. Der Befestigungsabschnitt 18 ermöglicht eine zentrische Lasteinleitung und ist vorzugsweise durch eine insbesondere umfangsseitig geschlossene Aussparung 20 des Fußteils 12 gebildet. Die Aussparung 20 ist langlochförmig, um eine Ausrichtung des Grundkörpers 10 relativ zu einer Wand zu ermöglichen.The foot part 12 comprises a fastening portion 18 for fastening the main body 10 to a wall. The attachment portion 18 enables a centric load introduction and is preferably formed by a recess 20 of the foot part 12 which is closed in particular on the circumference. The recess 20 is slot-shaped to allow alignment of the body 10 relative to a wall.

Der Grundkörper 10 erstreckt sich entlang einer Hauptachse 22 zwischen einem rückwärtigen Ende 24 und einem frontseitigen Ende 26. Die Hauptachse 22 verläuft insbesondere senkrecht zu der Anlagefläche 14. Die Hauptachse 22 definiert eine Einsteckrichtung 28, welche parallel zu der Hauptachse 22 verläuft und von dem frontseitigen Ende 26 auf das rückwärtige Ende 24 gerichtet ist.The main body 10 extends along a main axis 22 between a rear end 24 and a front end 26. The main axis 22 extends in particular perpendicular to the contact surface 14. The main axis 22 defines a plug-in direction 28 which is parallel to the main axis 22 and from the front End 26 is directed to the rear end 24.

Der Grundkörper 10 umfasst einen vorderen Abschnitt 30, welcher von dem Fußteil 12 in Richtung auf das frontseitige Ende 26 abragt.The main body 10 comprises a front portion 30, which protrudes from the foot part 12 in the direction of the front end 26.

Der vordere Abschnitt 30 definiert einen Aufnahmebereich 32, in welchen in Einsteckrichtung 28 ein in Figur 4 dargestelltes Abstandselement 34 einsteckbar ist.The front portion 30 defines a receiving area 32, in which in the insertion direction 28 a in FIG. 4 illustrated spacer 34 can be inserted.

Der vordere Abschnitt 30 umfasst einen in Gebrauchslage des Grundkörpers 10 oberen Materialabschnitt 36 und einen unteren Materialabschnitt 38. Die Bezeichnungen "oben" und "unten" sind mit Bezug auf die Schwerkraftrichtung 40 gewählt.The front portion 30 comprises a top in the position of use of the main body 10 material portion 36 and a Lower material portion 38. The terms "top" and "bottom" are selected with respect to the direction of gravity 40.

Die Materialabschnitte 36 und 38 weisen jeweils eine den Aufnahmebereich 32 abschnittsweise begrenzende Nut 40 bzw. 42 auf.The material portions 36 and 38 each have a receiving portion 32 in sections limiting groove 40 and 42, respectively.

Die Nuten 40 und 42 sind bezogen auf die Hauptachse 22 auf einander gegenüberliegenden Seiten angeordnet. Sie umfassen zueinander parallele Nutböden 44, welche sich quer zur Schwerkraftrichtung 40 erstrecken und jeweils zueinander parallele Nutschenkel 46 und 48, welche sich parallel zu der Schwerkraftrichtung 40 erstrecken.The grooves 40 and 42 are arranged with respect to the main axis 22 on opposite sides. They comprise mutually parallel groove bottoms 44, which extend transversely to the direction of gravity 40 and mutually parallel groove legs 46 and 48, which extend parallel to the direction of gravity 40.

Beispielsweise sind die Nutschenkel 46 kürzer als die Nutschenkel 48, wodurch die Einführung eines Abstandselements 34 in den Aufnahmebereich 32 besonders einfach ist.For example, the groove legs 46 are shorter than the groove legs 48, whereby the introduction of a spacer 34 in the receiving area 32 is particularly simple.

Der Aufnahmebereich 32 umfasst an seinem rückwärtigen Ende mindestens einen Anschlag 50. Der Anschlag 50 ist insbesondere in Form einer Federzunge 52 ausgebildet, welche an den Materialabschnitt 36 bzw. 38 angeformt ist. Die Federzunge 52 ist in Einsteckrichtung 28 in Richtung auf das rückwärtige Ende 24 elastisch verformbar. In einem verformten Zustand erzeugt die Klemmzunge 52 aufgrund ihrer Eigenelastizität eine Rückstellkraft, die in Richtung auf das frontseitige Ende 26 gerichtet ist.The receiving region 32 comprises at its rear end at least one stop 50. The stop 50 is formed in particular in the form of a spring tongue 52, which is integrally formed on the material portion 36 and 38, respectively. The spring tongue 52 is in the insertion direction 28 in the direction of the rear end 24 elastically deformable. In a deformed state, the clamping tongue 52 generates a restoring force due to its inherent elasticity, which is directed towards the front end 26.

Ferner umfasst der Grundkörper mindestens einen, vorzugsweise eine Mehrzahl von ersten Rastabschnitten 54. Diese sind integral mit den Materialabschnitten 36 und 38 ausgebildet und in einer Richtung quer zu der Schwerkraftrichtung 40 bewegbar. Die ersten Rastabschnitte 54 weisen eine relativ zu der Einsteckrichtung 28 geneigte Anlauffläche 56 und eine Rastfläche 57 auf.Furthermore, the base body comprises at least one, preferably a plurality of first latching portions 54. These are formed integrally with the material portions 36 and 38 and movable in a direction transverse to the direction of gravity 40. The first resting sections 54 have a relative to the insertion direction 28 inclined stop surface 56 and a latching surface 57.

Zusätzlich oder optional zu den ersten Rastabschnitten 54 umfasst der Grundkörper 10 weitere erste Rastabschnitte 58 in Form mindestens einer Rastausnehmung 60. Die Rastausnehmung 60 ist vorzugsweise in Form einer Materialaussparung des Materialabschnitts 36 und/oder 38 ausgebildet und bildet insbesondere eine Durchbrechung des Nutbodens 44.In addition or optionally to the first latching sections 54, the main body 10 comprises further first latching sections 58 in the form of at least one latching recess 60. The latching recess 60 is preferably in the form of a material recess of the material section 36 and / or 38 and in particular forms an opening in the groove bottom 44.

In Figur 2 ist eine Ausgestaltung des Grundkörpers 10 dargestellt. Bei diesem Grundkörper sind einander gegenüberliegende Nutschenkel 46 und 48 einer Nut 40 bzw. 42 gleich lang. Hierdurch wird ein besonders fester Halt eines Abstandselements 34 in dem Aufnahmebereich 32 bewirkt.In FIG. 2 an embodiment of the main body 10 is shown. In this base body opposite groove legs 46 and 48 of a groove 40 and 42 are the same length. As a result, a particularly firm hold of a spacer 34 in the receiving area 32 is effected.

Ferner umfasst der Grundkörper 10 gemäß Figur 2 dreieckförmige Versteifungsabschnitte 62, welche sich von der Vorderseite des Fußteils 12 in Richtung auf das frontseitige Ende 26 erstrecken und den Widerstand der Materialabschnitte 36 und 38 gegen Verbiegung relativ zu dem Fußteil 12 erhöhen.Furthermore, the main body 10 according to FIG FIG. 2 triangular stiffening portions 62 which extend from the front of the foot member 12 toward the front end 26 and increase the resistance of the material portions 36 and 38 against bending relative to the foot member 12.

Hinsichtlich der übrigen Merkmale des Grundkörpers 10 wird auf die vorstehende Beschreibung zu Figur 1 Bezug genommen.With regard to the remaining features of the main body 10 is to the above description FIG. 1 Referenced.

Eine in Figur 3 dargestellte Ausführungsform eines Grundkörpers 10 unterscheidet sich von den vorstehend beschriebenen Ausführungsformen dadurch, dass der vordere Abschnitt 30 des Grundkörpers 10 nicht nur einen Aufnahmebereich 32, sondern zwei Aufnahmebereiche 32 aufweist. In entsprechender Weise umfasst der vordere Abschnitt 30 jeweils zwei Materialabschnitte 36 und 38. Bei dem in Figur 3 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel des Grundkörpers 10 umfasst dieser ausschließlich Rastausnehmungen 60, wodurch eine besonders schlanke und gleichzeitig stabile Ausgestaltung der Materialabschnitte 36 und 38 ermöglicht wird.An in FIG. 3 illustrated embodiment of a base body 10 differs from the embodiments described above in that the front portion 30 of the base body 10 not only has a receiving area 32, but two receiving areas 32. In a corresponding manner, the front section 30 comprises two material sections 36 and 38, respectively. At the in FIG. 3 illustrated embodiment of the base 10 includes this exclusively recesses 60, whereby a particularly slim and stable design of the material portions 36 and 38 is made possible.

Jeder der Aufnahmebereiche 32 des Grundkörpers 10 gemäß Figur 3 dient zur steckenden Aufnahme jeweils eines Abstandselements 34. Die jeweiligen Einsteckrichtungen 28 verlaufen zueinander parallel.Each of the receiving areas 32 of the main body 10 according to FIG. 3 serves for plug-in receiving a respective spacer 34. The respective insertion directions 28 are parallel to each other.

Hinsichtlich der übrigen Merkmale des Grundkörpers 10 gemäß Figur 3 wird auf die vorstehende Beschreibung zu den Figuren 1 und 2 Bezug genommen.With regard to the remaining features of the main body 10 according to FIG. 3 is to the description above to the FIGS. 1 and 2 Referenced.

Die vorstehend beschriebenen Grundkörper 10 können beispielsweise aus einem Kunststoffmaterial (vorzugsweise Polyamid, insbesondere B3S oder B3L) oder aus einem mit Fremdmaterialien verstärkten Kunststoffmaterial hergestellt sein. Durch Verwendung von Kunststoffmaterial kann eine thermische Isolationswirkung erzielt werden.The base bodies 10 described above may be made, for example, from a plastic material (preferably polyamide, in particular B3S or B3L) or from a plastic material reinforced with foreign materials. By using plastic material, a thermal insulation effect can be achieved.

Es ist auch denkbar, die Grundkörper 10 aus einem metallischen Material, insbesondere aus Metallschäumen herzustellen, wodurch eine besonders hohe mechanische Stabilität erzielt wird.It is also conceivable to produce the base body 10 from a metallic material, in particular from metal foams, whereby a particularly high mechanical stability is achieved.

Das Fußteil 12 kann mit einer Einlegescheibe verstärkt sein, die von Kunststoffmaterial umspritzt ist.The foot part 12 may be reinforced with an insert disc, which is encapsulated by plastic material.

In Figur 4 ist eine Ausführungsform eines Abstandselements 34 dargestellt. Das Abstandselement 34 ist aus einem Flachmaterial, insbesondere aus Metall, hergestellt. Es weist beispielsweise eine Materialstärke 70 von wenigen Millimetern, beispielsweise von ungefähr 2 bis ungefähr 7 mm auf. Das flache Abstandselement 34 beansprucht nur wenig Bauraum und ist daher einfach in einer Schicht aus Dämmmaterial unterzubringen.In FIG. 4 an embodiment of a spacer 34 is shown. The spacer element 34 is made of a flat material, in particular of metal. It has, for example, a material thickness 70 of a few Millimeters, for example from about 2 to about 7 mm. The flat spacer 34 takes up little space and is therefore easy to accommodate in a layer of insulating material.

Das Abstandselement 34 erstreckt sich entlang einer Abstandselementachse 64 zwischen einem rückwärtigen Ende 66 und einem vorderen Ende 68. An das rückwärtige Ende 66 angrenzend umfasst das Abstandselement 34 einen Einsteckabschnitt 72.The spacer 34 extends along a spacer axis 64 between a rearward end 66 and a forward end 68. Adjoining the rearward end 66, the spacer 34 includes a male portion 72.

Der Einsteckabschnitt 72 weist einen bezogen auf die Gebrauchslage des Abstandselements 34 und bezogen auf die Schwerkraftrichtung 40 oberen Einsteckabschnitt 72a auf, welcher dazu vorgesehen ist, mit einer oberen Nut 40 eines Grundkörpers 10 zusammenzuwirken. Ferner umfasst der Einsteckabschnitt 72 einen unteren Bereich 72b, welcher für ein Zusammenwirken mit einer unteren Nut 42 vorgesehen ist. Der Einsteckabschnitt 72 umfasst ferner zweite Rastabschnitte 74 in Form von Durchbrechungen 76. Diese sind dazu vorgesehen, mit den ersten bewegbaren Rastabschnitten 54 des Grundkörpers 10 zusammenzuwirken.The insertion portion 72 has a relation to the position of use of the spacer 34 and with respect to the direction of gravity 40 upper insertion portion 72 a, which is intended to cooperate with an upper groove 40 of a base body 10. Further, the male portion 72 includes a lower portion 72b provided for cooperation with a lower groove 42. The insertion portion 72 further comprises second latching portions 74 in the form of apertures 76. These are intended to cooperate with the first movable latching portions 54 of the base body 10.

Ferner umfasst das Abstandselement 34 zweite Rastabschnitte 78, welche an einer oberen und unteren Berandung des Abstandselements 34 ausgebildet sind. Die zweiten Rastabschnitte 78 umfassen eine zu der Abstandselementachse 64 geneigte Anlauffläche 80 und eine Rastfläche 82. Die zweiten Rastabschnitte 78 sind dazu vorgesehen, mit den ersten Rastabschnitten 58 des Grundkörpers 10 zusammenzuwirken.Furthermore, the spacer element 34 comprises second latching sections 78, which are formed on an upper and lower boundary of the spacer element 34. The second latching sections 78 comprise a contact surface 80 inclined to the spacer axis 64 and a latching surface 82. The second latching sections 78 are provided to cooperate with the first latching sections 58 of the base body 10.

Ferner umfasst das Abstandselement 34 eine großflächige, beispielsweise kreisförmige Durchbrechung 84. Diese Durchbrechung wirkt als Isolator, welcher einen Wärmefluss von dem rückwärtigen Ende 66 in Richtung auf das vordere Ende 68 hemmt.Furthermore, the spacer element 34 comprises a large-area, for example, circular aperture 84. This aperture acts as an insulator, which generates a heat flow from the rear end 66 toward the front end 68 inhibits.

Benachbart zu dem vorderen Ende 68 des Abstandselements 34 sind Durchbrechungen 86 vorgesehen, welche insbesondere langlochförmig sind und parallel zur Schwerkraftrichtung 40 orientiert sind. Die Durchbrechungen 86 dienen zur Verbindung mit einem nachstehend beschriebenen Fassadenelementhalter. Durch die Langlochform der Durchbrechungen 86 kann eine Gleitpunktbefestigung eines Fassadenelementhalters geschaffen werden.Adjacent to the front end 68 of the spacer 34 perforations 86 are provided, which are in particular slot-shaped and oriented parallel to the direction of gravity 40. The apertures 86 serve to connect to a facade element holder described below. Through the elongated hole shape of the apertures 86, a Gleitpunktbefestigung a facade element holder can be created.

Das Abstandselement 34 umfasst weiterhin eine schlitzförmige Aussparung 87, in welches ein freies Ende einer als Montagehilfe dienenden Klemmzunge 142 einsteckbar ist (vergleiche auch Figur 16).The spacer element 34 further comprises a slot-shaped recess 87 into which a free end of a clamping tongue 142 serving as an assembly aid can be inserted (see also FIG FIG. 16 ).

In den Figuren 5 bis 10 sind weitere Ausführungsformen von Abstandselementen 34 dargestellt. Diese weisen einen Aufbau auf, welcher im Wesentlichen mit dem Aufbau des vorstehend unter Bezugnahme auf Figur 4 beschriebenen Abstandselements 34 vergleichbar ist. Daher wird im Folgenden lediglich auf die Unterschiede zu dem vorstehend beschriebenen Abstandselement 34 eingegangen. Hinsichtlich der Gemeinsamkeiten wird auf die vorstehende Beschreibung Bezug genommen.In the FIGS. 5 to 10 Further embodiments of spacers 34 are shown. These have a structure which substantially corresponds to the structure of the above with reference to FIG. 4 described spacer 34 is comparable. Therefore, only the differences from the spacer 34 described above will be discussed below. With regard to the similarities, reference is made to the above description.

Das Abstandselement 34 gemäß Figur 5 weist keine zweiten Rastabschnitte 78 auf, sondern eine zumindest weitestgehend ebene Berandung 88.The spacer 34 according to FIG. 5 has no second latching portions 78, but at least a largely flat boundary 88th

Die zu dem vorderen Ende 68 benachbarten Durchbrechungen des Abstandselements 34 gemäß Figur 6 sind kreislochförmig. Dies ermöglicht eine Festpunktfixierung eines nachstehend beschriebenen Fassadenelementhalters.The adjacent to the front end 68 openings of the spacer 34 according to FIG. 6 are circular hole-shaped. This allows a fixed point fixing of a facade element holder described below.

Ein in Figur 7 dargestelltes Abstandselement 34 ermöglicht eine besonders stabile Befestigung eines Fassadenelementhalters. Das Abstandselement 34 gemäß Figur 7 weist einen Einsteckabschnitt 72 mit einer Bauhöhe 88 auf, welche der Bauhöhe der Einsteckabschnitte 72 der vorstehend beschriebenen Abstandselemente 34 entspricht. In einem zu dem vorderen Ende 68 des Abstandselements 34 benachbarten Bereich 92, der sich in Richtung auf das vordere Ende 68 an den Einsteckabschnitt 72 anschließt, ist eine vergrößerte Bauhöhe 90 vorgesehen. Hierdurch kann ein besonders großer Abstand zwischen zwei Durchbrechungen 86 geschaffen werden.An in FIG. 7 illustrated spacer 34 allows a particularly stable attachment of a facade element holder. The spacer 34 according to FIG. 7 has a plug-in portion 72 with a height 88, which corresponds to the height of the Einsteckabschnitte 72 of the spacer elements 34 described above. In an adjacent to the front end 68 of the spacer 34 region 92, which connects in the direction of the front end 68 of the insertion portion 72, an increased overall height 90 is provided. In this way, a particularly large distance between two openings 86 can be created.

Die in den Figuren 8 bis 10 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiele von Abstandselementen 34 sind jeweils dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass sie benachbart zu ihrem vorderen Ende 68 ein Gewindeelement 94 aufweisen, welches an dem vorderen Bereich 92 des Abstandselements 34 fixiert ist.The in the FIGS. 8 to 10 illustrated embodiments of spacers 34 are each characterized in that they have adjacent to its front end 68, a threaded member 94 which is fixed to the front portion 92 of the spacer 34.

Bei dem Gewindeelement 94 kann es sich beispielsweise um eine Gewindestange 96 mit Außengewinde 98 handeln. Die Gewindestangen 96 sind beispielsweise durch eine Schweißverbindung mit dem vorderen Bereich 92 der Abstandselemente 34 verbunden.The threaded element 94 may be, for example, a threaded rod 96 with an external thread 98. The threaded rods 96 are connected, for example by a welded connection with the front portion 92 of the spacers 34.

Bevorzugt ist es, wenn der vordere Bereich 92 einen Verbindungsabschnitt 100 aufweist, welcher eine Lagedefinition der Gewindestange 96 ermöglicht. Bevorzugt ist es ferner, wenn eine zentrale Achse 102 des Gewindeelements 94 parallel, insbesondere kollinear mit der Abstandselementachse 64 ausgerichtet ist.It is preferred if the front region 92 has a connecting portion 100 which enables a position definition of the threaded rod 96. It is further preferred if a central axis 102 of the threaded element 94 is aligned parallel, in particular collinear, with the spacer axis 64.

Eine in Figur 8 dargestellte Ausführungsform eines Abstandselements 34 umfasst einen halbkreisförmigen Verbindungsabschnitt 100.An in FIG. 8 illustrated embodiment of a spacer 34 includes a semicircular connecting portion 100th

Eine in Figur 9 dargestellte Ausführungsform eines Abstandselements 34 umfasst zwei einander gegenüberliegende Verbindungsabschnitte 100a und 100b, zwischen denen das Gewindeelement 94 angeordnet ist. Die Verbindungsabschnitte 100a und 100b sind gewinkelt und damit besonders einfach herstellbar.An in FIG. 9 illustrated embodiment of a spacer 34 includes two opposing connecting portions 100a and 100b, between which the threaded member 94 is arranged. The connecting portions 100a and 100b are angled and therefore particularly easy to manufacture.

Bei dem Gewindeelement 94 kann es sich auch um eine (beispielsweise an den Bereich 92 angeschweißte) Gewindemutter 104 mit einem Innengewinde 106 handeln, wie dies in Figur 10 für ein weiteres Ausführungsbeispiel eines Abstandselements 34 dargestellt ist.The threaded element 94 may also be a threaded nut 104 (welded to the region 92, for example) with an internal thread 106, as shown in FIG FIG. 10 for a further embodiment of a spacer 34 is shown.

Die vorstehend beschriebenen Grundkörper gemäß Figuren 1 und 3 sind alle mit jeweils einem der vorstehend beschriebenen Abstandselemente 34 gemäß Figuren 4 bis 10 kombinierbar. Als ein mögliches Kombinationsbeispiel ist in Figur 11 eine Verbindungseinrichtung 108 dargestellt, welche einen Grundkörper 10 und ein Abstandselement 34 umfasst. Bei dem Grundkörper 10 handelt es sich beispielsweise um den Grundkörper 10 gemäß Figur 1. Bei dem Abstandselement 34 handelt es sich beispielsweise um das Abstandselement 34 gemäß Figur 4.The basic body described above according to FIGS. 1 and 3 are all in accordance with each one of the spacer elements 34 described above FIGS. 4 to 10 combined. As a possible combination example is in FIG. 11 a connecting device 108 is shown, which comprises a base body 10 and a spacer 34. The main body 10 is, for example, the main body 10 according to FIG. 1 , The spacing element 34 is, for example, the spacing element 34 according to FIG FIG. 4 ,

Zur Verbindung des Grundkörpers 10 mit dem Abstandselement 34 wird das Abstandselement 34 mit seinem vorderen Ende 66 in einer zu der Abstandselementachse 64 parallelen Richtung kollinear mit der Hauptachse 22 des Grundkörpers 10 ausgerichtet und in Einsteckrichtung 28 in Richtung auf das rückwärtige Ende 24 des Grundkörpers 10 in den Aufnahmebereich 32 eingeführt. Hierbei werden die Bereiche 72a und 72b des Einsteckabschnitts 72 jeweils in die Nuten 40 bzw. 42 eingeführt. Während des Einführens des Einsteckabschnitts 72 in den Aufnahmebereich 32 werden die ersten Rastabschnitte 54 durch Kontakt der Anlaufflächen 56 mit den Seitenflächen des Einsteckabschnitts 72 verformt, bis die Rastflächen 57 in rastenden Eingriff mit den Durchbrechungen 76 des Abstandselements 34 gelangen.To connect the base body 10 with the spacer 34, the spacer 34 is aligned with its front end 66 in a direction parallel to the distance element axis 64 collinear with the main axis 22 of the body 10 and in the insertion direction 28 in the direction of the rear end 24 of the body 10 in introduced the receiving area 32. Here are the areas 72a and 72b of the insertion portion 72 are respectively inserted into the grooves 40 and 42, respectively. During the insertion of the insertion section 72 into the receiving region 32, the first latching sections 54 are deformed by contact of the contact surfaces 56 with the side surfaces of the insertion section 72 until the latching surfaces 57 come into latching engagement with the openings 76 of the spacer 34.

Während des Einsteckens des Einsteckabschnitts 72 in den Aufnahmebereich 32 gelangen die Anlaufflächen 80 der zweiten Rastabschnitte 78 des Abstandselements 34 in Kontakt mit den Nutböden 44 der Nuten 40 und 42. Hierdurch werden die Materialabschnitte 36 und 38 nach außen aufgeweitet, bis die Rastflächen 82 der zweiten Rastabschnitte 78 des Abstandselements 34 in rastenden Eingriff mit den Rastausnehmungen 60 der Materialabschnitte 36 und 38 gelangen und diese in ihre ursprüngliche Lage zurückfedern.During insertion of the Einsteckabschnitts 72 into the receiving area 32 reach the contact surfaces 80 of the second locking portions 78 of the spacer 34 in contact with the groove bottoms 44 of the grooves 40 and 42. In this way, the material portions 36 and 38 are expanded outwardly until the locking surfaces 82 of the second Locking portions 78 of the spacer 34 engage in detent engagement with the recesses 60 of the material portions 36 and 38 and spring them back to their original position.

Die ersten Rastabschnitte 54 und die zweiten Rastabschnitte 78 bilden eine erste Rasteinrichtung 110. Die ersten Rastabschnitte 58 und die zweiten Rastabschnitte 78 bilden eine zweite Rasteinrichtung 112.The first latching sections 54 and the second latching sections 78 form a first latching device 110. The first latching sections 58 and the second latching sections 78 form a second latching device 112.

Der Einsteckweg des Abstandselements 34 ist in Richtung auf das rückwärtige Ende 24 des Grundkörpers 10 mit Hilfe der Anschläge 50 begrenzt. Im zumindest annähernd vollständig eingesteckten Zustand des Einsteckabschnitts 72 in dem Aufnahmebereich 32 liegen die Federzungen 52 unter Vorspannung an einer Kontaktfläche 114 des Abstandselements 34 an. Hierdurch wird die Rastfläche 82 gegen die Berandung der Rastausnehmung 60 gedrückt, sodass zumindest die Rasteinrichtung 112 spielfrei ist.The insertion of the spacer 34 is limited in the direction of the rear end 24 of the body 10 by means of the stops 50. In at least approximately fully inserted state of the insertion portion 72 in the receiving area 32, the spring tongues 52 are biased against a contact surface 114 of the spacer 34. As a result, the latching surface 82 is pressed against the boundary of the latching recess 60, so that at least the latching device 112 is free of play.

In Figur 12 ist eine Ausführungsform eines Sicherungselements 114 dargestellt. Das Sicherungselement 114 ist von außen auf die Materialabschnitte 34 und 36 aufstülpbar und weist einen Ausschnitt 116 zur Durchführung des Abstandselements 34 auf. Das Sicherungselement 114 weist mindestens einen Befestigungsabschnitt 118 auf, welcher zur Fixierung des Sicherungselements 114 an dem Grundkörper 10 (vgl. Figur 13) dient.In FIG. 12 an embodiment of a fuse element 114 is shown. The securing element 114 is aufstülpbar from the outside on the material portions 34 and 36 and has a cutout 116 for the passage of the spacer 34. The securing element 114 has at least one fastening section 118, which for fixing the securing element 114 to the base body 10 (see FIG. FIG. 13 ) serves.

Bei einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist vorgesehen, dass der Befestigungsabschnitt 118 in Form einer Rastzunge ausgebildet ist, welche in die Rastausnehmung 60 des Materialabschnitts 36 bzw. 38 greift, welche gleichzeitig als zweiter Rastabschnitt der Rasteinrichtung 112 wirksam ist.In a particularly preferred embodiment it is provided that the attachment portion 118 is formed in the form of a latching tongue which engages in the latching recess 60 of the material portion 36 and 38, which is effective as a second latching portion of the latching device 112 simultaneously.

Zur Montage des Sicherungselements 114 wird zunächst das Abstandselement 34 zumindest weitestgehend vollständig in den Aufnahmebereich 32 des Grundkörpers 10 eingesteckt, bis zumindest eine der Rasteinrichtungen 110 und 112 verrastet ist. Anschließend wird das Sicherungselement 114 in Einsteckrichtung 28 auf die Materialabschnitte 36 und 38 aufgeschoben, wobei der Bereich 92 des Abstandselements 34 durch den Ausschnitt 116 des Sicherungselements 114 hindurchgeführt wird. Die Fixierung des Sicherungselements 114 erfolgt durch Verrastung der Befestigungsabschnitte 118 mit einer jeweiligen Rastausnehmung 60.For mounting the securing element 114, first the spacer element 34 is at least largely completely inserted into the receiving region 32 of the base body 10 until at least one of the latching devices 110 and 112 is latched. Subsequently, the securing element 114 is pushed in the insertion direction 28 on the material portions 36 and 38, wherein the region 92 of the spacer 34 is passed through the cutout 116 of the securing element 114. The fixing of the securing element 114 takes place by latching the fastening sections 118 with a respective latching recess 60.
