Definitions

  • the invention relates to a wedge, in particular for use in the laying of laminate flooring, which can be assembled with one or more identically shaped wedges to form a wedge package to fill a gap between a wall and a peripheral edge of the laminate floor.
  • a wedge of two wedge elements describe the US 3,836,118 . US 8,297,567 . US 4,776,548 and WO 02/079654 A1 ,
  • the invention has for its object to provide a wedge, which can be assembled with an identically shaped wedge in nutzsvorteilhaft improved manner to a wedge package.
  • the wedge according to the invention has two wedge surfaces facing away from each other, each having connecting means.
  • the two wedge surfaces are at a wedge angle to each other, which is less than 45 degrees and greater than 0 degrees.
  • the wedge surfaces have a wedge surface extension direction that is parallel to the direction of inclination of the two wedge surfaces. Thought, extending in wedge surface extension direction in the respective wedge surfaces lines thus intersect.
  • the two wedge surfaces mutually corresponding connection means.
  • a first connection means of the first wedge surface can be brought into an adhesive connection of a second connection means of the second wedge surface.
  • the connecting means are preferably designed such that the mutual orientation of the contiguous wedges is arbitrary. Wedges can thus be brought together to produce parallel surfaces as well as to increase the wedge angle in an adhesive bond.
  • the first and second connection means enter into a positive connection in the adhesive connection position.
  • the latching or positive connection is detachable.
  • the form-fitting connection ties the two touching wedge surfaces adjacent wedges in the direction of the surface normal of the two wedge surfaces together.
  • the dissolution of the form-locking connection and the production of the form-locking connection requires a displacement of the two wedge surfaces relative to each other in the surface extension direction of the wedge surfaces.
  • the connecting means by a plug-sliding movement both in a parallel arrangement as well as in an anti-parallel arrangement of the two wedges in an adhesive bond can be brought.
  • the connecting means have recesses and projections.
  • the first wedge surface may have a depression, in which a projection of the second wedge surface is immersed.
  • the depression or the projection in each case has an undercut side flank. In the bonding position, the two undercut flanks are adjacent. Preferably, the undercut flanks are touching each other.
  • the recess of a running in the wedge extension direction groove and the projection of a wedge extension direction extending rib is formed.
  • a first wedge surface is brought against a second wedge surface.
  • the rib of the second wedge surface engages in the groove of the first wedge surface.
  • the wedges have an imaginary center plane which cuts at right angles to both wedge surfaces.
  • the two wedge surfaces have a symmetrical design to the center plane, wherein particularly preferably the undercut flanks extend at the outer edge portion of the wedge surface.
  • an undercut portion of the second wedge surface can be used. This preferably takes place when the two wedges are brought together by a displacement of the two wedges in the direction of the surface normals of the wedge surfaces which can be brought against each other. As a result, the projections are inserted into the recess.
  • the undercut-free zones of a wedge surface are spatially associated with an undercut portion of the other wedge surface. In between, there may be a window which penetrates through the entire wedge body as a passage opening. On one side of the window is an undercut-free zone, on the other side of the window there is an undercut section that can dip into the undercut-free zone as the two wedges nestle.
  • the undercut-free zones thus form immersion openings for associating the two wedges in the direction of the wedge surface normals.
  • the two wedges can be brought into a loose connection position in which they can be separated again by a relative movement in the direction of the surface normal of the contiguous wedge surfaces. But if the wedges but shifted from the loose connection position in wedge surface extension direction relative to each other, the undercut portions of a wedge surface come into operative connection with the undercut Sections of the other wedge surface. This will reach the bonding position.
  • a latching force is preferably overcome, which is also overcome in a return displacement of the two wedges from the adhesive bonding position in the loose connection position. To generate this latching force, the two wedge surfaces have profile zones extending in the wedge surface extension direction.
  • the profile zones may have a sawtooth-shaped cross-sectional profile, wherein in the adhesive bonding position sawtooth surfaces of one profile zone rest in a surface contact on sawtooth profile surfaces of the other profile zone.
  • the material of the juxtaposed wedges is preferably elastic so that the latching force is generated by an elastic deformation of the wedges.
  • the profile zones are each between two adjacent ribs or between two adjacent grooves of the respective wedge surfaces. By a relative displacement of the wedges, the thickness of a wedge pack can be adjusted.
  • the wedge according to the invention has a pointed end and a wide end and two mutually parallel in the view triangular side walls.
  • the connecting means are adjacent to the side walls.
  • the first connecting means are formed by mutually facing oblique side wall portions of a rib reaching to the edge, wherein the side wall portions of this rib form the side walls of the above-mentioned groove.
  • the second wedge surface has a plateau reaching up to the triangular edge in the view, from which springs the above-mentioned rib, which is provided with oblique surfaces on its surface facing the wedge edge.
  • pairs of facing away from each other oblique surfaces are formed, which are arranged between the connecting elements of the first wedge surface.
  • the latter form pairs inclined surfaces facing each other.
  • the opposite wedge surface has insertion openings for inserting the inclined sections.
  • the wedge thus has a plurality of windows arranged in the wedge extension direction near the edge, each window having two window openings.
  • a window opening forms an insertion opening and the opposite window opening a connecting means, so that identically shaped wedges are thereby plugged together, so that a connecting means of a wedge surface can be inserted into an insertion of another wedge surface of another wedge.
  • the adhesive bond is achieved by displacing the wedges against each other so that connecting means of two different wedges intermesh.
  • the wedge shown in the drawings has a first wedge surface 1 and a second wedge surface 2 pointing away therefrom.
  • Both wedge surfaces 1, 2 are structured with grooves 3, 15, 14 or ribs 4, 13, 16 extending in the direction of the wedge extent identical wedges, wherein a first wedge surface 1 is brought against a second wedge surface 2, intermesh.
  • the second wedge surface 2 has undercut portions 6 and undercut-free zones 8. When two identical wedges, in which either the wedge directions extend parallel to one another or are opposite to one another, enter the undercut Sections 5, 6 in the respective undercut-free zones 7, 8 of the respective other wedge surface.
  • the undercut portions 5 of the first wedge surface can be brought into a positive connection to the undercut portions 6 of the second wedge surface 2, so a wedge package is formed having two wedges bonded together.
  • the thus designed wedge package in turn has a free first wedge surface 1 and a free second wedge surface 2, which point away from each other, so that this created wedge package can be adhesively bonded with other wedges or wedge packages of identical wedges, which also takes place by a plug-sliding movement.
  • a profile zone 11 formed by a rib extends with a sawtooth profile in cross-section.
  • a profile zone 12 which likewise has a sawtooth-shaped cross-sectional profile.
  • the profile zones 11,12 interlock, so that a displacement of adjacent wedges in the direction of surface extension is possible only after overcoming a latching force in which slide the Sgezierfirste one above the other.
  • the wedges have the required elasticity for this purpose. They consist in particular of plastic.
  • the first wedge surface 1 has a central guide rib 13, which corresponds to a central guide groove 14 of the second wedge surface 2.
  • the guide rib 13 or guide groove 14 extends in a median plane which divides the wedge into two symmetrical halves.
  • the first wedge surface 1 each has a groove 3 spaced from the edge with a side facing the groove side. In the region of the two ends of the groove 3 facing away from one another, the groove wall of the groove 3 facing the wedge edge has undercut sections 5. Between the two undercut portions 5 extends a non-undercut zone 7.
  • the bottom 3 'of the groove 3 has in its at the edge of the wedge Wall adjacent area to the opposite wedge surface 2 towards open windows 9,10.
  • the groove bottom 3 ' is inclined to the first wedge surface 1, so that the groove depth of the groove 3 increases from the wedge tip ago.
  • the groove 3 terminates at the opposite end of the wedge tip of the wedge as a web which connects the regions of the two groove walls together.
  • the first wedge surface 1 opposite second wedge surface 2 forms a groove 3 corresponding to the rib 4.
  • the rib 4 has undercut portions 6 formed by side walls of the rib 4 facing the edge of the wedge.
  • the undercut rib side walls 6 are spatially associated with the windows 10, which are locally associated with the undercut-free zones 7 of the first wedge surface 1.
  • the undercut portions 6 lie between two undercut-free zones 8 of the rib 4, which are associated with the windows 9, on the opposite side of which the undercut portions 5 are located.
  • the undercuts 5, 6 form latching surfaces or counter-latching surfaces, which can be brought into operative connection with one another for realizing the adhesive connection position.
  • the rib 4 is adjacent to a groove which forms the profile zone 12 with its groove bottom.
  • the groove 3 is adjacent to a rib forming the profile zone 11.
  • guide engagement zones Between the two each of a wedge surface 1, 2 associated and parallel to each other extending profile zones 11,12 are guide engagement zones. These are parallel to each other guide grooves 15 of the first wedge surface, can engage in the mutually parallel guide ribs 16 of the second wedge surface. Between the guide ribs 16 of the second wedge surface extends a guide groove 14 into which a guide rib 13 of the first wedge surface 1 can enter.
  • the wedge has on its opposite side of the wedge a through hole 17 which extends transversely to the guide groove 14 and extends into the guide ribs 16.
  • a through hole 17 which extends transversely to the guide groove 14 and extends into the guide ribs 16.
  • side markings 18,19 are Approximately in the middle of the surface of the two wedge surfaces 1, 2 to identify the first wedge surface 1 of the second wedge surface 2 optically distinguishable.
  • the page labels 18, 19 are a minus sign or a plus sign.
  • the wedges can be brought into an abutment position in either a parallel arrangement or in a counter-parallel arrangement in which either the wedge tip of one wedge lies against the wedge tip of the other wedge, or in which the wedge tip of the one wedge on the edge opposite the wedge tip of the other Wedge lies.
  • the wedge angle ⁇ is doubled or it form two mutually parallel outer surfaces, the distance can be adjusted by a relative displacement of the two wedges.
  • the undercut sections 5 enter into undercut-free zones 8 and the undercut sections 6 enter the undercut-free zones 7.
  • wedge surfaces 1, 2 are formed symmetrically not only with respect to the above-mentioned center plane, but are also formed symmetrically about a further, transversely extending center plane.
  • the wedges can thus be assigned to one another both in a 0 degree twisted position and in a 180 degree twisted position.
  • the wedges thus assigned can now be displaced in the direction of the wedge surface extension, that is to say in the direction of progression of the groove 3 or the rib 4.
  • the undercut side walls of the groove 3 come into contact with the undercut side walls of the rib 4.
