Description

The invention relates to a wall cladding in modular design and a module for a wall cladding.

For such wall panels usually plate-shaped elements are used, which are attached to a house wall or building wall, for example in an interior, with appropriate brackets and fittings. The conventional wall coverings of this kind are cut to the required size and dimensions on site as required and are attached to individual building blocks, for example, with individual, selectively provided fixing irons. However, such wall panels are not very flexible in practice and have the disadvantage that an increased effort in attaching the wall paneling is required. Furthermore, such known in the art wall panels are difficult to remove again. Finally, such known wall coverings in buildings also do not permit flexible attachment of different devices and components, without these having to be adapted and reworked accordingly. Not least, the previously known wall coverings have the disadvantage that a decrease of individual plate-shaped elements is difficult to implement, for example, when repair work or redesign of a room to be performed.

In EP 0 555 899 A2 For example, a structure for mounting partition walls is disclosed in theatrical companies or the like, for example. Separate vertical uprights are clamped by adjustable foot elements between a floor and a ceiling of rooms. The wall panels are then attached to the stands.

According to another prior art the FR 2 951 204 A1 a mounting structure for wall panels is known, in which the vertical stand are received and fixed in a common slide on the floor, so that they are laterally adjustable, to be able to adjust distances between the wall panels specifically.

Against this background, it is the problem of the invention of the present application to propose a module for the construction of a wall cladding and a wall cladding constructed thereof, which offer a high flexibility in the application and increase the possibilities of designing and installing such wall cladding, without a respective individual To require adaptation of the elements of the module. Furthermore, the problem to be solved with the invention to provide a wall cladding with the least possible interference with an existing building fabric.

This problem is solved with a module according to the invention for the construction of a wall cladding according to claim 1 and a wall cladding constructed therefrom according to claim 5. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.

According to a cladding panel is provided with a substructure as a module. The substructure is adjustable with respect to their distance from the room wall. By a constructed in this way wall paneling in the modular principle, all possible shapes and surfaces of the wall paneling can be freely designed. The substructure can be easily fixed to the wall of a room, while the cladding panel is hung on the substructure and can be easily removed.

Thus, a complete re-usability of the wall cladding is achieved without having to intervene in a change in the building fabric.

According to the present invention, a module is accordingly proposed, which has a substructure, which is connectable via adjustable support with a room wall, wherein the substructure has at least two stator profiles, which rest on a Höhenverstellschuh on the ground, and a cladding panel, which has over suspension elements can be hung on the substructure. With such a module, a very flexible use of the module for the production of differently constructed and designed wall panels can be achieved. Due to the height adjustability and the frame profiles, the module offers a substructure that can easily be adapted to different conditions without the module having to be specially cut or assembled for this purpose. The module according to the invention has a cladding panel, which can be suspended on the substructure via suspension elements. The production of wall coverings is simplified. The substructure of the module is adjusted according to the respective heights of an interior and attached to the room wall via a connection, while the cladding panel can be easily hung and removed from the substructure. This makes it possible to use very different cladding panels for the construction of a wall cladding, which may for example have different technical facilities or penetration openings for sanitary facilities or the like. The modules according to the invention can be prefabricated standardized in a fixed form and configuration with the height adjustment shoe and can then be easily used in different spatial conditions, without the individual plates must be separately attached to the walls at different points.

According to the invention, the substructure of the module has a connecting strut between two spaced upright profiles, and on the Connecting strut are spaced from each other carrier, wherein at least one of the stator profiles via at least one carrier with the room wall is connectable. In this way, the module can be attached to the building wall with only a few attachment points. The stability and fixation of the module is thereby increased and facilitated. With only a few steps, the module can be mounted in an existing building by connecting the substructure with the spaced girders to the building wall. In combination with the adjustable height adjustment shoe, a secure attachment of the substructure of the module can be realized. Subsequently, a plate-shaped element, such as a cladding panel, are easily hung on the substructure and, if necessary, again easily removed therefrom.

According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, devices, such as a support handle, a soap dispenser or a partition, are attached to the cladding panel of the module. The cladding panel thus carries in a ready-made state appropriate technical or design facilities that are required for the individual design and the respective needs built according wall cladding. The devices attached to the cladding panel may also be other than those mentioned: For example, technical equipment such as lamp holders, picture rails or the like could be prefabricated attached.

According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention struts are attached to the uprights of the substructure of the module on opposite sides, having at the free ends a device for receiving a room equipment, such as a toilet bowl, wherein the strut in the end over a support is connectable to the room wall of the building. With this measure, the substructure is specifically reinforced locally at certain intended areas, and with the struts retaining elements are provided, which also allow attachment of heavier equipment, such as sinks or toilet bowls. The module according to the invention is therefore also suitable for the construction of wall coverings in building areas in which comparatively heavy additional fixtures are attached to the wall paneling.

According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the stand profiles at the upper ends via a telescopically adjustable holder with the ceiling can be connected. The module can be easily adapted to different room heights.

The attachment of the substructure is preferably carried out on rearwardly projecting carrier, wherein the telescopically adjustable holder provide a certain support between the ceiling and the bottom of an interior. In combination with the height adjustment shoe on the bottom side, the module according to the invention with height-adjustable holders on the upper side thus offers even greater flexibility and adaptability to existing spatial conditions or unevenness.

The invention also relates to a wall cladding, which is constructed from modules according to the invention according to one of claims 1 to 4. A wall covering constructed in this way increases the possibilities in the design and installation of technical equipment. Very different wall coverings can be mounted and mounted with the module in a standardized manner in buildings. The module can be used equally for purely decorative plate-shaped wall elements as well as for cladding panels, which are used for the installation of technical equipment, for example in bathrooms or sanitary rooms. With the wall cladding according to the invention also a complete redesign of an interior is easily possible with very little interference with the existing fabric. The removable cladding panels also allow for easy adaptation to different needs of residents. Last but not least, with the modules according to the invention a slight repair can be made behind the wall cladding without the need for elaborate dismantling work.

According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the adjacent stator profiles of two adjacent substructures are connected by a hooking together. The individual adjacent substructures can be easily coupled with each other so easily. The stability of the entire wall cladding is thereby further improved.

According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, only one of the two connected by a suspension stand profiles is connected by at least one carrier with the room wall. By this measure, the required number of attachment points on the rear wall of the room is reduced. With only a single attachment by means of a carrier to the room wall of the building, a secure attachment of the wall panel is still guaranteed.
