- the present invention relates to an arrangement according to the preamble of claim 1. Furthermore, the invention also relates to a method for mounting a floor covering, wall covering or ceiling covering with a substructure and at least one attachable to the substructure by means of at least one locking connection covering element.
- the flooring elements which may be in the form of boards, planks or the like, often screwed onto a substructure made of wood to form a floor covering, wall coverings or ceiling coverings.
- This is on the one hand consuming.
- it has the disadvantage that one still sees the screw heads after completion of the assembly.
- covering elements by means of snap-on connections to the substructure.
- These snap-in connections such as those in the DE 101 50 889 A1 , in the US 2009/0094925 A1 and also in the WO 2006/011173 A1 are shown in the prior art, a kind of barbs to prevent release of the covering element of the substructure.
- the covering elements are usually fastened to the substructure in such a way that an air gap remains free between adjacent covering elements.
- This has in wood covering elements primarily the task of moisture and temperature-induced swelling and shrinkage of the material to allow.
- appropriate clearance for ventilation or for optical reasons or possibly also to compensate for temperature-related expansions and shrinkages are realized.
- the object of the invention is to propose an improvement. This object is achieved with an arrangement according to claim 1.
- the latching connection is designed for removing the covering element of the substructure and for subsequent re-attachment of the covering element to the substructure as non-destructively releasable and re-connectable locking connection.
- a method according to the invention provides that the substructure and the covering element are components of an arrangement according to the invention and the covering element is fastened to the substructure in a non-destructive manner by means of the latching connection.
- the invention thus goes exactly the opposite way. It forms the locking connection so that the covering element non-destructive of the Substructure dissolved again and then connected via the locking connection with the substructure.
- This makes it possible to remove the covering elements of the substructure by loosening the locking connections to remove the above-mentioned undesirable deposits in the substructure and then connect the covering elements by means of the locking connection with the substructure again. This can be carried out several times, without this resulting in a destruction of the arrangement or latching connection according to the invention.
- the removal of the unwanted deposits in the substructure can therefore be carried out without subsequently a completely or partially new floor, wall or ceiling covering must be laid.
- arrangements according to the invention can be used both as a floor, wall or ceiling covering in the interior and exterior of a building, but it should also be noted that the arrangement according to the invention is particularly suitable for outdoor use for the formation of decking and the like.

- the locking connection could also be referred to as a snap connection.
- the invention also has the general advantage that by means of non-destructively releasable and reconnectable snap-in connections a very simple and rapid, possibly even tool-free mounting of the floor, wall or ceiling covering is possible. Also a replacement of individual Surface elements is easily possible. In principle, the lining elements with different spaces but also without gaps according to the invention can be releasably secured to the substructure.
- the latching connection by pressing the lining element to the substructure in a direction toward the substructure nondestructively engages and disengages nondestructively by lifting the lining element of the substructure in the direction away from the substructure.

Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Anordnung gemäß des Oberbegriffs des Anspruchs 1. Weiters betrifft die Erfindung auch ein Verfahren zur Montage eines Bodenbelags, Wandbelags oder Deckenbelags mit einer Unterkonstruktion und zumindest einem, an der Unterkonstruktion mittels zumindest einer Rastverbindung befestigbaren Belagselement.The present invention relates to an arrangement according to the preamble of
Beim Stand der Technik werden zur Ausbildung eines Bodenbelags, Wandbelags oder Deckenbelags häufig die Belagselemente, welche z.B. in Form von Brettern, Bohlen oder dergleichen vorliegen können, auf eine aus Holz hergestellte Unterkonstruktion aufgeschraubt. Dies ist zum einen aufwendig. Zum anderen hat es den Nachteil, dass man die Schraubenköpfe nach Fertigstellung der Montage immer noch sieht. Um diese Probleme zu vermeiden, ist es bereits bekannt, Belagselemente mittels Rastverbindungen an der Unterkonstruktion zu befestigen. Diese Rastverbindungen wie sie z.B. in der
Die Belagselemente werden beim Stand der Technik meist so an der Unterkonstruktion befestigt, dass zwischen benachbarten Belagselementen noch ein Luftspalt frei bleibt. Dieser hat bei Belagselementen aus Holz vorrangig die Aufgabe, feuchtigkeits- und temperaturbedingtes Aufquellen und Zusammenschrumpfen des Materials zu ermöglichen. Bei Belagselementen aus anderem Material wie z.B. Kunststoff, werden entsprechende Freiräume zur Hinterlüftung oder auch aus optischen Gründen oder gegebenenfalls auch zum Ausgleich von temperaturbedingten Ausdehnungen und Schrumpfungen realisiert.In the prior art, the covering elements are usually fastened to the substructure in such a way that an air gap remains free between adjacent covering elements. This has in wood covering elements primarily the task of moisture and temperature-induced swelling and shrinkage of the material to allow. For flooring elements made of other materials such as plastic, appropriate clearance for ventilation or for optical reasons or possibly also to compensate for temperature-related expansions and shrinkages are realized.
Der Nachteil der Zwischenräume zwischen den Belagselementen ist, dass durch diese Zwischenräume hindurch Schmutz und vor allem im Außenbereich auch verrottendes Material wie Blätter, Blüten und dergleichen in den Bereich der Unterkonstruktion unterhalb des Belagselementes bzw. der Belagselemente hineinfallen kann. Über die Jahre hinweg kommt es dann im Bereich der Unterkonstruktion unter den Belagselementen zu einem Ansammeln von Verschmutzungen und gegebenenfalls auch zu einem Verrottungsprozess. Um diese ungewünschten Ablagerungen beseitigen zu können, ist es beim Stand der Technik oft notwendig, den gesamten Boden-, Wand- oder Deckenbelag abzutragen und anschließend vollkommen neu wieder zu verlegen. Das Material des vormaligen Boden-, Wand- oder Deckenbelags kann zu dieser Neuverlegung dann meist nicht mehr oder nur noch zum Teil genutzt werden.The disadvantage of the interstices between the covering elements is that dirt and especially rotting material such as leaves, flowers and the like can fall through these intermediate spaces into the region of the substructure below the covering element or covering elements. Over the years, in the area of the substructure under the covering elements, accumulation of soiling and possibly also a decomposition process occurs. To eliminate these unwanted deposits, it is often necessary in the prior art to remove the entire floor, wall or ceiling covering and then relocate completely new. The material of the former floor, wall or ceiling covering can then be used for this new laying usually no longer or only partially.
Der nächstliegende Stand der Technik in Form der
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Verbesserung vorzuschlagen. Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe mit einer Anordnung gemäß Anspruch 1.The object of the invention is to propose an improvement. This object is achieved with an arrangement according to
Bei einer erfindungsgemäßen Anordnung ist vorgesehen, dass die Rastverbindung zum Abnehmen des Belagselements von der Unterkonstruktion und zum anschließenden Wiederbefestigen des Belagselements an der Unterkonstruktion als zerstörungsfrei lösbare und wieder verbindbare Rastverbindung ausgebildet ist. Ein erfindungsgemäßes Verfahren sieht vor, dass die Unterkonstruktion und das Belagselement Bestandteile einer erfindungsgemäßen Anordnung sind und das Belagselement mittels der Rastverbindung zerstörungsfrei lösbar an der Unterkonstruktion befestigt wird.In an arrangement according to the invention it is provided that the latching connection is designed for removing the covering element of the substructure and for subsequent re-attachment of the covering element to the substructure as non-destructively releasable and re-connectable locking connection. A method according to the invention provides that the substructure and the covering element are components of an arrangement according to the invention and the covering element is fastened to the substructure in a non-destructive manner by means of the latching connection.
Im Gegensatz zum oben genannten Stand der Technik, bei dem immer versucht wird, die Rastverbindung so auszubilden, dass sie nicht mehr gelöst werden kann, geht die Erfindung somit genau den entgegengesetzten Weg. Sie bildet die Rastverbindung so aus, dass das Belagselement zerstörungsfrei von der Unterkonstruktion wieder gelöst und anschließend über die Rastverbindung wieder mit der Unterkonstruktion verbunden werden kann. Hierdurch ist es möglich, durch Lösen der Rastverbindungen die Belagselemente von der Unterkonstruktion abzunehmen, die oben genannten unerwünschten Ablagerungen im Bereich der Unterkonstruktion zu entfernen und anschließend die Belagselemente mittels der Rastverbindung wieder mit der Unterkonstruktion zu verbinden. Dies kann mehrfach so ausgeführt werden, ohne dass es hierbei zu einer Zerstörung der erfindungsgemäßen Anordnung bzw. Rastverbindung kommt. Die Entfernung der ungewünschten Ablagerungen im Bereich der Unterkonstruktion kann also durchgeführt werden, ohne dass anschließend ein vollständig oder teilweise neuer Boden-, Wand- oder Deckenbelag verlegt werden muss. Neben der Tatsache, dass erfindungsgemäße Anordnungen sowohl als Boden-, Wand- oder Deckenbelag im Innen- und Außenbereich eines Gebäudes verwendet werden können, ist aber auch darauf hinzuweisen, dass sich die erfindungsgemäße Anordnung insbesondere für den Außenbereich zur Ausbildung von Terrassenbelägen und dergleichen eignet.In contrast to the above-mentioned prior art, in which it is always trying to form the latching connection so that it can not be solved, the invention thus goes exactly the opposite way. It forms the locking connection so that the covering element non-destructive of the Substructure dissolved again and then connected via the locking connection with the substructure. This makes it possible to remove the covering elements of the substructure by loosening the locking connections to remove the above-mentioned undesirable deposits in the substructure and then connect the covering elements by means of the locking connection with the substructure again. This can be carried out several times, without this resulting in a destruction of the arrangement or latching connection according to the invention. The removal of the unwanted deposits in the substructure can therefore be carried out without subsequently a completely or partially new floor, wall or ceiling covering must be laid. In addition to the fact that arrangements according to the invention can be used both as a floor, wall or ceiling covering in the interior and exterior of a building, but it should also be noted that the arrangement according to the invention is particularly suitable for outdoor use for the formation of decking and the like.
Die Belagselemente können grundsätzlich verschiedenste Formen haben, z.B. plattenartig ausgebildet sein. Besonders bevorzugt sind die Belagselemente brettförmig oder bohlenförmig oder plankenförmig ausgebildet. Dies bedeutet, ihre Länge ist bevorzugt deutlich größer als ihre Breite und Höhe. Die Belagselemente können aus verschiedenen Materialien hergestellt werden. Es kann sich um Holz, Verbundholz, diverse Kunststoffe aber auch Verbundwerkstoffe handeln. Hier kommt die gesamte, beim Stand der Technik für solche Belagselemente bekannte, Palette von Materialien in Frage. Bei dem Belagselement handelt es sich vorzugsweise jedenfalls um das Teil der Anordnung, welches im fertig montierten Zustand das sichtbare Element des Bodenbelags, des Wandbelags oder des Deckenbelags bildet. Die Rastverbindung könnte auch als Schnappverbindung bezeichnet werden. Neben der Tatsache, dass der Bereich der Unterkonstruktion mit relativ wenig Aufwand gereinigt werden kann, hat die Erfindung aber generell auch den Vorteil, dass mittels der zerstörungsfrei lösbaren und wiederverbindbaren Rastverbindungen eine sehr einfache und rasche, gegebenenfalls sogar werkzeuglose Montage des Boden-, Wand- oder Deckenbelags möglich ist. Auch ein Auswechseln einzelner Belagselemente ist einfach möglich. Grundsätzlich können die Belagselemente mit verschiedenen Zwischenräumen aber auch ganz ohne Zwischenräume erfindungsgemäß an der Unterkonstruktion lösbar befestigt werden.The covering elements can basically have a variety of shapes, for example, be plate-like. Particularly preferably, the covering elements are board-shaped or plank-shaped or plank-shaped. This means that their length is preferably much greater than their width and height. The flooring elements can be made of different materials. It may be wood, composite wood, various plastics but also composite materials. Here comes the entire, known in the art for such flooring elements, range of materials in question. The covering element is preferably in any case the part of the arrangement which forms the visible element of the floor covering, the wall covering or the ceiling covering in the completely assembled state. The locking connection could also be referred to as a snap connection. In addition to the fact that the area of the substructure can be cleaned with relatively little effort, the invention also has the general advantage that by means of non-destructively releasable and reconnectable snap-in connections a very simple and rapid, possibly even tool-free mounting of the floor, wall or ceiling covering is possible. Also a replacement of individual Surface elements is easily possible. In principle, the lining elements with different spaces but also without gaps according to the invention can be releasably secured to the substructure.
Bei der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass die Rastverbindung durch Andrücken des Belagselementes an die Unterkonstruktion in einer Richtung hin zur Unterkonstruktion zerstörungsfrei einrastet und durch Abheben des Belagselementes von der Unterkonstruktion in Richtung weg von der Unterkonstruktion zerstörungsfrei ausrastet. Das Andrücken wie auch das Abheben erfolgt dabei in bevorzugten Ausgestaltungsformen in Richtungen parallel zur Normalen auf die Unterkonstruktion.In the invention, it is provided that the latching connection by pressing the lining element to the substructure in a direction toward the substructure nondestructively engages and disengages nondestructively by lifting the lining element of the substructure in the direction away from the substructure. The pressing as well as the lifting takes place in preferred embodiments in directions parallel to the normal to the substructure.
Bei der Erfindung ist auch vorgesehen, dass die Rastverbindung zumindest einen Rastkopf und zumindest eine Rastaufnahme aufweist, wobei der Rastkopf im eingerasteten Zustand der Rastverbindung zumindest einen Hinterschnitt der Rastaufnahme formschlüssig hintergreift. Hierbei kann vorgesehen sein, dass der Rastkopf und/oder die Rastaufnahme zum Ein- und/oder Ausrasten der Rastverbindung elastisch deformierbar ist bzw. sind. Die hierfür gegebenenfalls notwendige Elastizität kann durch entsprechende Materialwahl beim Rastkopf und auch bei der Rastaufnahme realisiert werden. Es ist aber auch gut möglich, Kerben im Rastkopf und/oder in der Rastaufnahme vorzusehen, um die elastische Deformierbarkeit auszubilden bzw. zu verbessern. Um das zerstörungsfreie Ein- und/oder auch Ausrasten der Rastverbindungen zu erleichtern, sehen bevorzugte Varianten vor, dass der Rastkopf und/oder die Rastaufnahme Schrägflächen und/oder abgerundete Konturen zur Erleichterung des Einrastens und/oder des Ausrastens der Rastverbindung aufweist bzw. aufweisen. Die Schrägflächen sind dabei günstigerweise schräg zu den Richtungen ausgerichtet, in denen das Belagselement bei der Montage an die Unterkonstruktion angedrückt und bei der Demontage von der Unterkonstruktion abgehoben wird. Für die abgerundeten Konturen gilt Entsprechendes. Der Fachmann wird hierzu verschiedenste konkrete Ausgestaltungsformen von Schrägflächen und/oder abgerundeten Konturen finden, welche das zerstörungsfreie Ein- und/oder auch Ausrasten erleichtern. Rastkopf und Rastaufnahme haben bei der Erfindung bevorzugt miteinander korrespondierende Formen, die ein zerstörungsfreies Lösen und Verbinden der Rastverbindungen erlauben. Z.B. kann vorgesehen sein, dass der Rastkopf und/oder die Rastaufnahme in zumindest einem Querschnitt zumindest bereichsweise eine, vorzugsweise kreisrund, abgerundete und über einen Winkelbereich von mehr als 180° erstreckte Kontur aufweist bzw. aufweisen.In the invention it is also provided that the latching connection has at least one latching head and at least one latching receptacle, wherein the latching head engages in the form-locking manner behind at least one undercut of the latching receptacle in the latched state of the latching connection. It can be provided that the latching head and / or the latching receptacle for engaging and / or disengaging the latching connection is elastically deformable or are. The optionally necessary for this elasticity can be realized by appropriate choice of material in the locking head and also in the locking receptacle. But it is also quite possible to provide notches in the locking head and / or in the locking receptacle in order to form or improve the elastic deformability. In order to facilitate the non-destructive engagement and / or disengagement of the latching connections, preferred variants provide that the latching head and / or the latching receptacle have inclined surfaces and / or rounded contours to facilitate latching and / or unlatching of the latching connection. The inclined surfaces are favorably oriented obliquely to the directions in which the covering element is pressed during assembly to the substructure and lifted off during disassembly of the substructure. The same applies to the rounded contours. For this purpose, the person skilled in the art will find various concrete embodiments of inclined surfaces and / or rounded contours which facilitate non-destructive engagement and / or disengagement. Rastkopf and Locking receptacle in the invention preferably have mutually corresponding shapes that allow a non-destructive loosening and connecting the locking connections. For example, it can be provided that the latching head and / or the latching receptacle has at least in some sections at least partially a, preferably circular, rounded and over an angular range of more than 180 ° extending contour or have.
Da sich die am Belagselement befindenden Teile der Rastverbindung bei der Montage des Belagselementes an der Unterkonstruktion meist auf der nicht direkt einsehbaren Rückseite des Belagselementes befinden, ist es bevorzugt vorgesehen, dass die Rastaufnahme möglichst einfach mit dem Rastkopf getroffen werden kann. Hierfür sehen bevorzugte Varianten vor, dass die Rastaufnahme eine längserstreckte Nut ist. Besonders bevorzugte Varianten dieser Art sehen dann vor, dass der Rastkopf in Richtung der Längserstreckung der Rastaufnahme kürzer als die Rastaufnahme ist. Dies ist natürlich auch andersherum realisierbar.Since the parts of the locking connection located on the covering element are usually located on the rear side of the covering element when the covering element is mounted on the substructure, it is preferably provided that the locking receptacle can be struck as simply as possible with the locking head. For this purpose, preferred variants provide that the latching receptacle is a longitudinally extending groove. Particularly preferred variants of this type then provide that the locking head in the direction of the longitudinal extension of the locking receptacle is shorter than the locking receptacle. Of course, this is also possible the other way round.
Die Unterkonstruktion kann grundsätzlich sehr verschieden ausgebildet sein. Es kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Rastköpfe an der Unterkonstruktion befestigt sind und die Rastaufnahmen am Belagselement. Die umgekehrte Variante ist aber genauso gut möglich. Dies gilt natürlich auch für alle anderen Arten von erfindungsgemäß einsetzbaren, zerstörungsfrei lösbaren und wiederverbindbaren Rastverbindungen.The substructure can basically be designed very differently. It can be provided that the locking heads are attached to the substructure and the locking receptacles on the covering element. The reverse variant is just as possible. This of course also applies to all other types of inventively usable, non-destructively releasable and reconnect snap-in connections.
Die Erfindung sieht auch vor, dass die Unterkonstruktion zumindest eine Profilschiene aufweist in oder auf der der Rastkopf oder die Rastaufnahme entlang der Profilschiene verschiebbar angeordnet ist. Die Profilschienen können dabei auf Auflagelementen lagern. Um eine Nivellierung und Höhenanpassung durchzuführen, ist besonders bevorzugt vorgesehen, dass die Lagerelemente aus verschiedenen Lagerelementteilen zusammengesetzt werden können. Es kann sich bei den Lagerelementteilen bzw. Lagerelementen um plattenförmige Bauteile handeln. Die Lagerelementteile können im Sinne einer raschen Montage z.B. über reib- oder formschlüssige Verbindungselemente zusammensteckbar sein und/oder eine plattenförmige Grundform haben. Zumindest das oberste, hin zur Profilschiene gerichtete Lagerelementteil sollte ein Verbindungselement, insbesondere einen Verbindungskopf, aufweisen, um das gesamte Lagerelement an der Profilschiene zu befestigen. Hierfür kann z.B. vorgesehen sein, dass die Profilschiene eine oder mehrere hinterschnittene Nuten aufweist, in die der Verbindungskopf formschlüssig eingreifen kann. Bei den Profilschienen kann es sich um Metall-, Kunststoff- oder Holzschienen handeln. Bevorzugt werden an sich bekannte Strangpressprofile z.B. aus Aluminium als Profilschienen eingesetzt. Auch andere Metallschienen sind natürlich möglich. Die Profilschienen können im Querschnitt, abgesehen von gegebenenfalls gerundeten Ecken und den hinterschnittenen Nuten, eine rechteckige oder quadratische Form aufweisen. Die Rastköpfe aber auch die Rastaufnahmen können an Trägern befestigt sein, welche in eine hinterschnittene Nut der Profile eingeschoben werden können. Ein solcher Träger kann ein, zwei oder mehr Rastköpfe und/oder Rastaufnahmen aufweisen, wobei der Träger dann automatisch den Abstand zwischen zwei benachbarten Rastköpfen und/oder Rastaufnahmen vorgeben bzw. festlegen kann, was eine Montage der Belagselemente mit konstantem Abstand zueinander auf der Unterkonstruktion vereinfacht.The invention also provides that the substructure has at least one profiled rail in or on which the latching head or the detent receptacle is displaceably arranged along the profiled rail. The rails can be stored on support elements. To perform a leveling and height adjustment, it is particularly preferred that the bearing elements can be assembled from different bearing element parts. It may be plate-shaped components in the bearing element parts or bearing elements. The bearing element parts can be plugged together in the sense of rapid assembly, for example via friction or positive connection elements and / or have a plate-shaped basic shape. At least the top, towards the rail directed bearing element part should have a connecting element, in particular a connecting head, to secure the entire bearing element to the rail. For this purpose, for example, be provided that the rail has one or more undercut grooves into which the connection head can engage positively. The profile rails can be metal, plastic or wooden rails. Preference is given to per se known extruded profiles such as aluminum used as rails. Other metal rails are of course possible. The profile rails may have a rectangular or square shape in cross-section, except for optionally rounded corners and the undercut grooves. The locking heads but also the locking receptacles can be attached to straps, which can be inserted into an undercut groove of the profiles. Such a carrier may have one, two or more locking heads and / or locking receptacles, wherein the carrier can then automatically specify or fix the distance between two adjacent locking heads and / or locking receptacles, which simplifies mounting the lining elements at a constant distance from each other on the substructure ,
Bevorzugte Ausgestaltungsformen der Erfindung sehen vor, dass auf einem gemeinsamen Träger von zumindest zwei der Rastverbindungen je ein Teil angeordnet ist und diese Teile der Rastverbindungen voneinander beabstandet sind. Der Träger kann dabei mit den entsprechenden Teilen der Rastverbindungen einstückig ausgebildet sein. Die Teile der Rastverbindungen können aber auch anderweitig am gemeinsamen Träger befestigt sein. Der Träger und die Teile der Rastverbindungen können z.B. aus Kunststoff ausgeführt sein. Eine Herstellung im Spritzguss bietet sich an. Bevorzugt ist vorgesehen, dass der Träger in oder an einer Profilschiene der Unterkonstruktion, vorzugsweise in einer hinterschnittenen Nut der Profilschiene, entlang der Profilschiene verschiebbar angeordnet ist oder werden kann. Wie eingangs bereits erläutert, kommt es bei verschiedenen Belagselementen gemäß des Standes der Technik z.B. feuchtigkeits- oder temperaturbedingt zum Aufquellen oder Zusammenschrumpfen. Hierdurch kann es zu einer Längen- und/oder Breitenänderung des Belagselementes selbst, aber auch zu einer Änderung der Geometrie, insbesondere der Abstände zwischen zumindest zwei Belagselementen, kommen. Beim Stand der Technik kann dies in der Regel nicht kompensiert werden, sodass es zum Brechen, Springen oder Verbiegen der Belagselemente oder der Unterkonstruktion kommen kann. Um solche Änderungen in der Länge und/oder Breite eines Belagselements bzw. der Belagselemente und/oder der Ausrichtung der Belagselemente relativ zueinander zu ermöglichen, ohne dass es hierdurch zu unnötigen Spannungen kommt, sehen besonders bevorzugte Varianten einer erfindungsgemäßen Anordnung vor, dass im Träger und/oder zwischen dem Träger und zumindest einem der Teile der Rastverbindungen zumindest ein Kompensationsbereich zur Ermöglichung der Änderung des Abstands zwischen den Teilen der Rastverbindungen angeordnet ist. Die Teile der Rastverbindungen können z.B. Rastköpfe oder Rastaufnahmen sein. Der Kompensationsbereich kann sich in einem Abschnitt des Trägers zwischen den Teilen der Rastverbindungen oder auch direkt zwischen zumindest einem der Teile zumindest einer der Rastverbindungen und dem Träger befinden. Z.B. könnte der Träger zwei relativ zueinander verschiebbar gelagerte Trägerabschnitte aufweisen, an welchen dann z.B. jeweils ein Teil einer der Rastverbindungen angeordnet, insbesondere fixiert, ist. Genauso gut wäre es möglich, wenn ein Teil zumindest einer der Rastverbindungen verschiebbar im oder am Träger gelagert ist. Besonders bevorzugte Ausgestaltungsformen des Kompensationsbereiches sehen vor, dass es sich um eine Materialausdünnung im Träger handelt. Z.B. kann der Träger im Kompensationsbereich einen oder mehrere, gegebenenfalls über Biegegelenke miteinander verbundene, Biegeschenkel aufweisen. Es kann vorgesehen sein, dass zwei Biegeschenkel V-förmig im Kompensationsbereich angeordnet sind. Der Kompensationsbereich kann elastisch deformierbar ausgeführt sein. Dies ist aber nicht zwingend notwendig. Es kann sich genauso gut um zwei verschiebbar zueinander aneinander gelagerte Abschnitte des Trägers oder eben des Trägers und zumindest eines Teils einer der Rastverbindungen handeln, ohne dass diese Komponenten elastisch deformierbar sind.Preferred embodiments of the invention provide that a part is arranged on a common carrier of at least two of the latching connections and these parts of the latching connections are spaced apart from one another. The carrier can be integrally formed with the corresponding parts of the locking connections. The parts of the locking connections can also be otherwise secured to the common carrier. The carrier and the parts of the locking connections can be made of plastic, for example. A production in injection molding offers itself. It is preferably provided that the carrier in or on a rail of the substructure, preferably in an undercut groove of the rail, is slidably disposed along the rail or can be. As already explained at the outset, in the case of various lining elements according to the prior art, for example due to moisture or temperature, swelling or shrinkage occurs. This can lead to a change in length and / or width of the covering element itself, but also to a Changing the geometry, in particular the distances between at least two lining elements, come. In the prior art, this can not be compensated in the rule, so it can come to breaking, jumping or bending of the lining elements or the substructure. In order to allow such changes in the length and / or width of a covering element or the lining elements and / or the orientation of the lining elements relative to each other without causing unnecessary stresses, particularly preferred variants of an arrangement according to the invention provide that in the carrier and / or between the carrier and at least one of the parts of the latching connections at least one compensation area is arranged to allow the change of the distance between the parts of the latching connections. The parts of the locking connections may be, for example, latching heads or locking receptacles. The compensation region can be located in a section of the carrier between the parts of the latching connections or also directly between at least one of the parts of at least one of the latching connections and the carrier. For example, the carrier could have two carrier sections mounted so as to be displaceable relative to one another, on which, for example, in each case a part of one of the latching connections is arranged, in particular fixed. It would equally well be possible if a part of at least one of the latching connections is displaceably mounted in or on the carrier. Particularly preferred embodiments of the compensation area provide that it is a material thinning in the carrier. For example, in the compensation area, the carrier may have one or more bending legs which may be connected to one another via bending joints. It can be provided that two bending legs are arranged in a V-shape in the compensation area. The compensation area can be made elastically deformable. But this is not absolutely necessary. It may as well be two slidably mounted to each other sections of the carrier or just the carrier and at least a portion of the latching connections, without these components are elastically deformable.
Insbesondere bei solchen Varianten, bei denen der Träger in oder an einer Profilschiene entlang der Profilschiene verschiebbar angeordnet ist, sehen bevorzugte Ausgestaltungsformen vor, dass am Träger zumindest ein Vorspannelement z.B. in Form einer Federzunge oder dergleichen angeordnet ist. Mit diesem Vorspannelement kann der Träger so gegen eine Profilschiene drücken, dass er nur bei Überwindung einer gewissen Reibung entlang der Profilschiene verschiebbar ist. Dies kann die Vorpositionierung der Träger und damit der Teile der Rastverbindungen auf der Unterkonstruktion bei der Montage der Belagselemente vereinfachen.In particular, in those variants in which the carrier is slidably disposed in or on a rail along the rail, see preferred embodiments in that on the support at least one biasing element, for example in the form of a spring tongue or the like is arranged. With this biasing member, the carrier can press against a rail so that it is displaced only upon overcoming a certain friction along the rail. This can simplify the pre-positioning of the carrier and thus the parts of the locking connections on the substructure during assembly of the lining elements.
Ein bevorzugtes Verfahren zur Kompensation von Änderungen der Länge und/oder Breite eines Belagselementes und/oder in der Ausrichtung von zumindest zwei Belagselementen relativ zueinander in einer erfindungsgemäßen Anordnung sieht vor, dass im Kompensationsbereich der Abstand zwischen den Teilen der Rastverbindung verändert wird.A preferred method for compensating for changes in the length and / or width of a covering element and / or in the alignment of at least two covering elements relative to one another in an arrangement according to the invention provides that the distance between the parts of the locking connection is changed in the compensation area.
