Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Universalprofil, gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a universal profile, according to the preamble of claim 1.

Universalprofile bestehend aus Unterprofil und Deckprofil sind in unterschiedlichen Ausführungen bekannt. Das Unterprofil wird an den Fußboden, z. B. an den Estrich, geschraubt oder geklebt. Sodann wird der gewünschte Bodenbelag, vorzugsweise Teppichboden und/oder Laminat, auf das Unterprofil aufgelegt und die zwischen angrenzenden Bodenbelägen vorhandene Fuge mit dem Deckprofil abgedeckt. Die Verbindung des Deckprofils mit dem Unterprofil erfolgt im Stand der Technik zumeist durch Verschraubung.
DE 20 2009 015 031 U1 offenbart ein Universalprofil nach dem Oberbegriff der vorliegenden Erfindung, bei welchem das Deckprofil an das Unterprofil angeschraubt wird. Das Unterprofil weist zu diesem Zweck ein Innengewinde auf, in welches eine Schraube eingreifen kann.
EP 1 571 274 B1 offenbart ein Profil mit einem Basisteil und einem Abdeckteil, wobei der Basisteil zwei konvex geformte Schenkel mit einer Nut aufweist, in welche in beliebiger Schräglage eine Schraube oder ein gezahntes Einsteckteil zur Befestigung des Abdeckteils eingeschraubt oder eingeschlagen werden kann. In einer Ausführungsvariante wird das Einsteckteil gleichzeitig als Abdeckteil ausgeformt und verwendet.Universal profiles consisting of sub-profile and cover profile are known in different designs. The sub-profile is attached to the floor, z. B. to the screed, screwed or glued. Then, the desired floor covering, preferably carpet and / or laminate, placed on the sub-profile and covered the existing between adjacent flooring joints with the cover profile. The connection of the cover profile with the sub-profile is carried out in the prior art usually by screwing.
DE 20 2009 015 031 U1 discloses a universal profile according to the preamble of the present invention, in which the cover profile is screwed to the lower profile. The sub-profile has for this purpose an internal thread into which a screw can engage.
EP 1 571 274 B1 discloses a profile with a base part and a cover part, wherein the base part has two convex-shaped legs with a groove into which a screw or a toothed insertion part can be screwed or hammered in for attachment of the cover part in any inclined position. In one embodiment, the plug-in part is simultaneously formed and used as a cover.

DE 200 15 244 U1 offenbart ein Universalprofil, gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1. DE 200 15 244 U1 discloses a universal profile according to the preamble of claim 1.

Bei den bekannten Profilen ergibt sich das Problem, dass bei der Montage eine Schraube mit passendem Werkzeug gebraucht wird (Schraubenvariante) oder/und das Abdeckteil äußerst instabil in den Basisteil eingreift und somit ungewollt wegschwenken kann (Einsteckvariante). Ebenso ergibt sich bei der Einsteckvariante das Problem, dass Basisteil und Abdeckteil nicht zerstörungsfrei voneinander getrennt werden können.
Es ist somit Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, ein Universalprofil zu schaffen, welches bei der Montage kein Werkzeug erfordert und die Nachteile der oben genannten Einsteckvariante vermeidet.In the known profiles there is the problem that during assembly a screw with matching tool is needed (screw variant) and / or the cover engages extremely unstable in the base part and thus can swing away unintentionally (plug-in variant). Likewise, with the plug-in variant, the problem arises that the base part and cover part can not be separated from one another without destruction.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a universal profile, which requires no tools during assembly and avoids the disadvantages of the above plug-in variant.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe schlägt die Erfindung ein Universalprofil gemäß Anspruch 1 vor.To solve this problem, the invention proposes a universal profile according to claim 1.

Die erfindungsgemäße Ausgestaltung mit einer Rastverbindung von Deckprofil und Unterprofil erübrigt ein Montagewerkzeug. Im Gegensatz zum Stand der Technik ist hier keine aufwendige Verschraubung nötig. Die nach außen weisenden Rastzähne der Wangen des Unterprofils greifen in die Innenbezahnung des Deckprofils ein. Hierdurch kann die gewünschte Position im montierten Zustand sicher gehalten werden. Zudem können die gegenüberstehenden Wangen des Unterprofils für eine Trennung von Deckprofil und Unterprofil aufeinander zu bewegt werden, wodurch sich die Rastzähne aus der Innenbezahnung des Deckprofils lösen und das Deckprofil von dem Unterprofil abgenommen werden kann. Vorteilhaft empfiehlt es sich hierbei, für die Wangen des Unterprofils ein elastisches aber dennoch formstabiles Material zu verwenden. Der Zwischenraum zwischen den Wangen sowie auch die Wangen selbst können dabei durch ihre Abmessungen und Form zur Elastizität bzw. Beweglichkeit beitragen. Dadurch, dass der Kopfabschnitt des Unterprofils einen V-förmigen Außenquerschnitt aufweist, wird der benötigte Anpressdruck zwischen Unterprofil und Deckprofil gewährleistet, so dass die Rastzähne stabil und ortsfest in der Innenbezahnung des Deckprofils gehalten werden.
Eine Ausführungsvariante sieht vor, dass die Rastzähne des Unterprofils so in die Innenbezahnung des Deckprofils eingreifen, dass die Flächennormale des Deckprofils zu der Flächennormalen des Unterprofils in einem Winkel zwischen ca. +15° und -15° verstellbar ausgebildet
ist. Dies wird im einfachsten Falle dadurch erreicht, dass die Rastzähne der gegenüberliegenden Wangen des Unterprofils in zueinander verschieden hohen Stufen der Innenbezahnung des Deckprofils eingreifen.
Die Rastzähne des Unterprofils sind dafür beweglich in der Innenbezahnung des Deckprofils angeordnet. Dies wird durch eine Anpassung der Rastzahngröße und -form an die Form und Größe der Innenbezahnung des Deckprofils erreicht. Somit lässt sich das Deckprofil gegenüber dem Unterprofil um bis zu ca. +/-15° neigen, so dass die Neigung des Deckprofils an einen Höhenunterschied zwischen angrenzenden Bodenbelägen angepasst werden kann. Nicht zuletzt wird die Neigbarkeit auch durch das Zusammenwirken mit dem V-förmigen Außenquerschnitt des Unterprofils und eine federnd elastische Ausbildung der Deckprofilwangen ermöglicht. Insgesamt führt die erfindungsgemäße Lösung zu einer sehr großen Stabilität des Universalprofils, da sich das Deckprofil sowohl an den Oberflächen der aneinander grenzenden Bodenbeläge als auch an dem Basisprofil abstützen kann (Dreipunktauflage).The inventive design with a locking connection of the cover profile and sub-profile makes an assembly tool unnecessary. In contrast to the prior art, no complicated screwing is necessary here. The outwardly facing locking teeth of the cheeks of the sub-profile engage in the internal toothing of the cover profile. As a result, the desired position can be securely held in the mounted state. In addition, the opposing cheeks of the sub-profile for a separation of the cover profile and sub-profile can be moved towards each other, whereby the locking teeth from the internal toothing of the cover profile solve and the cover profile can be removed from the sub-profile. Advantageously, it is recommended in this case to use an elastic but dimensionally stable material for the cheeks of the sub-profile. The space between the cheeks and the cheeks themselves can contribute by their dimensions and shape to the elasticity and mobility. Characterized in that the head portion of the sub-profile has a V-shaped outer cross section, the required contact pressure between sub-profile and cover profile is ensured so that the ratchet teeth are held stable and stationary in the internal toothing of the cover profile.
A variant provides that the locking teeth of the sub-profile engage in the inner toothing of the cover profile, that the surface normal of the cover profile to the surface normal of the sub-profile at an angle between approx. + 15 ° and -15 ° adjustable
is. This is achieved in the simplest case, that the locking teeth of the opposite cheeks of the sub-profile engage in mutually different levels of internal toothing of the cover profile.
The ratchet teeth of the sub-profile are movably arranged in the internal toothing of the cover profile. This is achieved by an adaptation of the ratchet tooth size and shape to the shape and size of the internal toothing of the cover profile. Thus, the cover profile with respect to the lower profile by up to about +/- 15 ° tilt, so that the inclination of the cover profile can be adapted to a height difference between adjacent floor coverings. Not least, the inclinability is also made possible by the interaction with the V-shaped outer cross section of the sub-profile and a resilient design of the cover profile cheeks. Overall, the solution according to the invention leads to a very high stability of the universal profile, since the cover profile can be supported both on the surfaces of the adjoining floor coverings and on the base profile (three-point support).

Gemäß der Erfindung ist das Unterprofil zweiteilig ausgeführt, wobei das Unterprofil ein Schlitzprofil und ein Zapfenprofil aufweist, welche formschlüssig miteinander verbunden sind. Diese zweiteilige Ausführung des Unterprofils bzw. dreiteilige Ausführung des Universalprofils erlaubt einen modularen Aufbau des Universalprofils. Hierdurch können z.B. unterschiedlich hohe Zapfenprofile in das Schlitzprofil eingesetzt werden, wodurch nicht stets das gesamte Unterprofil ausgetauscht werden muss, sondern lediglich das Zapfenprofil als Teilbereich des Unterprofils. Hierdurch lassen sich bei der nachträglichen Anpassung der Profilhöhe Kosten sparen sowie ein etwaiger Arbeitsaufwand, welcher durch die Demontage des Unterprofils von dem Bodenbelag und eine Neumontage entstehen kann.
Schließlich ist vorgesehen, dass bei zweiteiliger Ausführung des Unterprofils das Zapfenprofil in dem Schlitzprofil um +/- 2,5° relativ zu der Flächennormalen des Schlitzprofils verschwenkbar ausgebildet ist. Auch hierdurch lässt sich allein oder zusätzlich zu dem vorgenannten Neigungseffekt erreichen, dass die Neigung des Deckprofils an den Verlauf des Fußbodenbelages angeglichen werden kann. Ebenso wird hierdurch das Einführen des Zapfenprofils in das Schlitzprofil erleichtert.According to the invention, the lower profile is designed in two parts, wherein the lower profile has a slot profile and a journal profile, which are positively connected with each other. This two-part design of the subprofile or three-part design of the universal profile allows a modular design of the universal profile. As a result, for example, different high pin profiles can be used in the slot profile, which does not always the entire sub-profile must be replaced, but only the pin profile as part of the sub-profile. As a result, can be saved in the subsequent adaptation of the profile height costs and any labor, which may arise from the disassembly of the sub-profile of the flooring and a new installation.
Finally, it is provided that in two-part design of the sub-profile, the pin profile in the slot profile by +/- 2.5 ° relative to the surface normal of the slot profile is formed pivotable. This also makes it possible alone or in addition to the aforementioned inclination effect that the inclination of the cover profile can be adjusted to the course of the floor covering. Likewise, this facilitates the insertion of the pin profile into the slot profile.

Vorteilhaft weist die Innenbezahnung des Deckprofils mehrere senkrecht übereinander angeordnete Zähne auf. Somit können die Rastzähne des Unterprofils in diskreten Stufen verstellt werden, was zum einen eine sichere Führung des Unterprofils in dem Deckprofil ermöglicht und zum anderen eine schrittweise Annäherung an die gewünschte Endposition.Advantageously, the internal toothing of the cover profile has a plurality of teeth arranged vertically one above the other. Thus, the locking teeth of the sub-profile can be adjusted in discrete steps, which allows for a safe guidance of the sub-profile in the cover profile and on the other hand, a gradual approach to the desired end position.

Vorteilhaft sieht die Erfindung vor, dass das Deckprofil im Übergangsbereich zwischen dem im Wesentlichen parallel zum Bodenbelag verlaufenden Teil und den senkrecht dazu verlaufenden Deckprofilwangen Materialverjüngungen aufweist. Die Materialverjüngungen, beispielsweise Nuten, sorgen als "Schwachstellen" für die erforderliche Elastizität des Deckprofils, so dass die Deckprofilwangen stets elastisch gegen die Wangen des Unterprofils wirken.
Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung werden im Folgenden anhand der Zeichnungen näher erläutert. Es zeigen:

Advantageously, the invention provides that the cover profile has material tapers in the transition region between the part extending substantially parallel to the floor covering and the cover profile cheeks running perpendicular thereto. The material tapers, such as grooves, provide as "weak points" for the required elasticity of the cover profile, so that the cover profile cheeks always act elastically against the cheeks of the sub-profile.

In Figur 1 ist schematisch ein fertig montiertes Universalprofil mit einem Unterprofil 1 und einem Deckprofil 7 dargestellt, wobei das Unterprofil 1 aus einem Schlitzprofil 2 und einem Zapfenprofil 3 zusammengesetzt ist. Das Zapfenprofil 3 umfasst einen Kopfabschnitt 4, welcher zwei gegenüberstehende Wangen 5 aufweist. Jede der Wangen 5 trägt einen einzelnen Rastzahn 6, welcher in eine Innenbezahnung 8, bestehend aus mehreren senkrecht übereinander angeordneten Zähnen 9, formschlüssig eingreift. Das Deckprofil 7 besteht aus einem im Wesentlichen parallel zum Bodenbelag verlaufenden Teil 10 und zwei senkrecht dazu verlaufenden Deckprofilwangen 11. Im Übergangsbereich, welcher im Wesentlichen einen 90°-Winkel beschreibt, sind Nuten als Materialverjüngung 12 angeordnet.In FIG. 1 schematically a ready-mounted universal profile with a lower profile 1 and a cover profile 7 is shown, wherein the lower profile 1 of a slot profile 2 and a pin profile 3 is composed. The journal profile 3 comprises a head section 4 which has two opposing cheeks 5. Each of the cheeks 5 carries a single locking tooth 6, which engages in a Innenbezahnung 8, consisting of a plurality of vertically superposed teeth 9, positively. The cover profile 7 consists of a part 10 extending substantially parallel to the floor covering and two cover profile cheeks 11 extending perpendicular thereto Transition region, which essentially describes a 90 ° angle, grooves are arranged as a material taper 12.

Figur 2 zeigt ein zweiteiliges Universalprofil, das nicht Teil der Erfindung ist, bei welchem das Deckprofil 7 gegenüber dem Unterprofil 1 verschwenkt ist. Das Deckprofil 7 ist baugleich mit den Deckprofilen 7 der dreiteilig ausgeführten Universalprofile.
Figur 3 zeigt ein Universalprofil, ausgebildet als Abschlussprofil. Hier ist das Universalprofil in seinem auseinander gebauten Zustand dargestellt, wobei als Zapfenprofil 3 eine von zwei unterschiedlich hohen Ausführungen gewählt werden kann. Beide Zapfenprofile 3 verfügen über Wangen 5 mit jeweils einem nach außen weisenden Rastzahn 6.
Die Erfindung gemäß dem Ausführungsbeispiel in Figur 1 funktioniert so, dass das Unterprofil 1 mit dem Fußboden, z.B. dem Estrich, verschraubt oder verklebt wird. Das Zapfenprofil 3 ist bereits mit dem Schlitzprofil 2 zu einer vorgefertigten Einheit verbunden. Der gewünschte Fußbodenbelag, z.B. ein Teppich oder ein Laminat, wird auf den länglichen Fuß des Schlitzprofils 2 gelegt. Anschließend wird das Deckprofil 7 über dem Unterprofil 1 und dem oder den anliegenden Bodenbelägen positioniert und mit seiner Innenbezahnung 8 über die Rastzähne 6 des Zapfenprofils 3 geschoben. Je nach der Dicke des Bodenbelags kann die Innenbezahnung 8 mehr oder weniger weit über die Rastzähne 6 in Richtung des Bodenbelages geschoben werden. Die Materialverjüngungen 12 des Deckprofils 7 sorgen dabei für die erforderliche Elastizität des Deckprofils 7.
Falls zwei Bodenbeläge mit leicht unterschiedlichen Dicken im Bereich des Universalprofils aufeinander stoßen, sorgt eine Verkippung des Zapfenprofils 3 innerhalb des Schlitzprofils 2 für eine leichte Neigung des Deckprofils 7 relativ zu der Fußebene des Schlitzprofils 2 (nicht in den Figuren dargestellt). Hierdurch kann eine geringe Neigung um +/- 2,5° erreicht werden. Falls eine solche Verkippung des Zapfenprofils 3 innerhalb des Schlitzprofils 2 nicht gewünscht ist, empfiehlt sich die Verwendung eines einteiligen Unterprofils 1 gemäß Figur 2.
Bei Dickendifferenzen, die größer sind als es die Schwenkbarkeit von Zapfenprofil und Schlitzprofil ausgleichen kann, oder bei einteiligen Unterprofilen, können die Rastzähne 6 in voneinander verschiedenen Rasthöhen der Innenbezahnung 8 des Deckprofils 7 verkippt werden. Je nach der Größe und Form der Rastzähne 6 und der Zähne 9 der Innenbezahnung 8 ergibt sich zusätzlich eine mehr oder weniger große Verschwenkbarkeit.
Die wesentlichen Eigenschaften und Vorteile des erfindungsgemäßen Profils lassen sich wie folgt zusammenfassen: Das Deckprofil 7 ist an dem Unterprofil 1 einfach verrastbar (keine Schraubverbindung). Außerdem kann die Winkelstellung des Deckprofils 7 relativ zum Unterprofil 1 in verschiedenen Raststufen verstellt werden. Voraussetzung hierfür ist die im Querschnitt V-förmige Ausgestaltung des Unterprofils 1 in Kombination mit der Innenbezahnung 8 an dem Deckprofil 7. Wesentlich ist außerdem, dass an den Wangen 5 jeweils nur eine einzige Rastzahn 6 vorgesehen ist. Es kommt zu einer sehr stabilen Dreipunktauflage des Deckprofils 7, nämlich an den Oberflächen der aneinander grenzenden Fußböden und an dem Unterprofil 1. Für die Stabilität der Verbindung ist von Vorteil, dass die Flügel des Deckprofils 7 elastisch federn. Hierzu sind insbesondere die entsprechenden Materialverjüngungen 12 an dem Deckprofil 7 angebracht. FIG. 2 shows a two-part universal profile, which is not part of the invention, in which the cover profile 7 is pivoted relative to the lower profile 1. The cover profile 7 is identical to the cover profiles 7 of the three-part universal profiles.
FIG. 3 shows a universal profile, designed as a final profile. Here, the universal profile is shown in its disassembled state, where as a journal profile 3 one of two different high versions can be selected. Both pin profiles 3 have cheeks 5, each with an outwardly facing latching tooth. 6
The invention according to the embodiment in FIG. 1 works so that the sub-profile 1 with the floor, such as the screed, bolted or glued. The journal profile 3 is already connected to the slot profile 2 to a prefabricated unit. The desired floor covering, eg a carpet or a laminate, is placed on the elongated foot of the slit profile 2. Subsequently, the cover profile 7 is positioned over the lower profile 1 and the one or more adjacent floor coverings and pushed with its inner toothing 8 on the locking teeth 6 of the pin profile 3. Depending on the thickness of the floor covering, the inner toothing 8 can be pushed more or less far beyond the locking teeth 6 in the direction of the floor covering. The material tapers 12 of the cover profile 7 ensure the required elasticity of the cover profile. 7
If two floor coverings with slightly different thicknesses in the area of the universal profile abut each other, tilting of the pin profile 3 within the slot profile 2 ensures a slight inclination of the cover profile 7 relative to the foot plane of the slot profile 2 (not shown in the figures). As a result, a slight inclination of +/- 2.5 ° can be achieved. If such tilting of the pin profile 3 within the slot profile 2 is not desired, the use of a one-piece sub-profile 1 according to is recommended FIG. 2 ,
For differences in thickness, which are greater than it can compensate for the pivoting of pin profile and slot profile, or one-piece sub-profiles, the locking teeth 6 in different from each other Ratchet heights of Innenbezahnung 8 of the cover profile 7 are tilted. Depending on the size and shape of the locking teeth 6 and the teeth 9 of the inner toothing 8 results in addition to a more or less large pivoting.
The essential characteristics and advantages of the profile according to the invention can be summarized as follows: The cover profile 7 can simply be latched to the lower profile 1 (no screw connection). In addition, the angular position of the cover profile 7 can be adjusted relative to the lower profile 1 in different locking steps. Prerequisite for this is the cross-sectionally V-shaped configuration of the sub-profile 1 in combination with the inner toothing 8 on the cover profile 7. It is also essential that only a single latching tooth 6 is provided on the cheeks 5. It comes to a very stable three-point support of the cover profile 7, namely on the surfaces of the adjacent floors and on the lower profile 1. For the stability of the connection is advantageous that the wings of the cover profile 7 elastically spring. For this purpose, in particular the corresponding material tapers 12 are attached to the cover profile 7.
