Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Gebäudeverkleidung umfassend eine Unterkonstruktion, benachbart angeordnete längliche Deckelemente und einen Beschlagverbund für das Verbinden der länglichen Deckelementen mit der darunterliegenden Unterkonstruktion.The invention relates to a building cladding comprising a substructure, adjacent elongated cover elements and a fitting assembly for connecting the elongated cover elements to the underlying substructure.

Ein typischer und sehr bedeutender Anwendungsfall betrifft das Befestigen von Bohlen einer Terrassenabdeckung mit einer darunterliegenden Unterkonstruktion. "Bohlen" in diesem Sinne sind Stäbe, Profile oder langgestreckte Bretter, welche typischerweise aus Holz bestehen. Zur Bildung einer Abdeckung werden sie parallel zueinander, mit einem kleinen seitlichen Abstand zueinander, auf einer Unterkonstruktion, welche meist in Form einer Querlattung vorliegt, befestigt.A typical and very important application relates to the fastening of planks of a terrace cover with an underlying substructure. "Planks" in this sense are bars, profiles or elongated boards, which are typically made of wood. To form a cover, they are fastened parallel to one another, with a small lateral distance from one another, on a substructure, which is usually in the form of cross battens.

Beispielsweise gemäß der AT 510 695 B1 wird folgendes Verbindungsprinzip zwischen Bohlen und einer Unterkonstruktion unter Anwendung eines Beschlages angewandt: Bei hergestellter Verbindung zwischen Bohlen und einer Unterkonstruktion erstreckt sich jeder Beschlag im Raum zwischen Bohlen und Unterkonstruktion unter zwei benachbarte Bohlen. Mittels zweier Schrauben, die durch Schraubendurchgangsbohrungen in der Basisfläche des Beschlages hindurch verlaufen, ist jeder Beschlag mit der Unterseite einer Bohle verbunden. Mit dem unter jener Bohle, an welcher der Beschlag festgeschraubt ist, hervorragenden Längsbereich ist jeder zweite Beschlag an der Unterkonstruktion festgeschraubt und zwar ebenfalls mittels einer Schraube, welche durch eine Schraubendurchgangsbohrung im Beschlag hindurch verläuft. Die verbleibende Gruppe von Beschlägen wird an der Unterkonstruktion nur dadurch gehalten, dass jene Längsbereiche, welche von der jeweiligen Bohle hervorragen, an welcher die Beschläge festgeschraubt sind, in den Spalt zwischen der jeweils benachbarten Bohle und der Unterkonstruktion eingeschoben sind und damit gegen Bewegung nach oben oder unten formschlüssig blockiert sind. Aus dem Grundkörper des Beschlages stehen Materialzungen zur Seite der Bohlen hin ab. Diese dienen bei der Montage des Beschlages an einer Bohle als Anschlagflächen zu einer Seitenfläche der Bohle und definieren damit die Position des Beschlages an der Bohle.For example, according to the AT 510 695 B1 the following connection principle between planks and a substructure is applied using a fitting: When a connection is made between planks and a substructure, each fitting extends in the space between planks and substructure under two adjacent planks. Each fitting is connected to the underside of a screed by means of two screws that run through screw through holes in the base surface of the fitting. With the outstanding longitudinal area under the screed to which the fitting is screwed, every second fitting is screwed to the substructure, also by means of a screw that runs through a screw through hole in the fitting. The remaining group of fittings is only held on the substructure by inserting those longitudinal areas that protrude from the respective screed to which the fittings are screwed into the gap between the adjacent screed and the substructure, thus preventing movement upwards or are positively blocked at the bottom. Material tongues protrude from the base of the fitting to the side of the planks. When mounting the fitting on a screed, these serve as abutment surfaces on one side of the screed and thus define the position of the fitting on the screed.

Zumindest weitgehend das gleiche Prinzip wird auch bei den Beschlägen gemäß den Schriften AT 414029 B , EP 1635008 A2 , DE 202008010795 U1 , US 2010180532 A1 , WO 2008068329 A1 , WO 8600361 A1 angewandt.At least largely the same principle applies to the fittings according to the scriptures AT 414029 B , EP 1635008 A2 , DE 202008010795 U1 , US 2010180532 A1 , WO 2008068329 A1 , WO 8600361 A1 applied.

Gemäß all diesen Schriften sind für optimale Verhältnisse am gleichen Längsabschnitt einer zu befestigenden Bohle jeweils zwei Beschläge zu befestigen, wobei die beiden Beschläge an unterschiedlichen Längskanten der der Unterkonstruktion zugewandten Fläche der Bohle mittels mindestens einer Schraube befestigt sind, und wobei jeweils ein Beschlag zusätzlich auch mit der Unterkonstruktion durch eine weitere Schraube verbunden ist.According to all these writings, two fittings are to be fastened to the same longitudinal section of a screed to be fastened, the two fittings being fastened to different longitudinal edges of the surface of the screed facing the substructure by means of at least one screw, and one fitting additionally also the substructure is connected by another screw.

Die Schriften AT 12751 U1 , DE 102009007120 A1 und DE 102009043993 A1 zeigen Beschläge, die gegenüber den zuvor beschriebenen dahingehend weiterentwickelt sind, dass die beiden am gleichen Längsbereich einer Bohle anzubringenden einzelnen Beschläge zu einem Beschlagverbund zusammengefasst sind, welcher an beiden Längskanten der unteren Flächen vorsteht, wobei der Beschlagverbund aus zwei Einzelteilen besteht die aneinander geführt verschiebbar sind, wobei die Verschieberichtung in Einbausituation quer zur Längsrichtung der zu befestigenden Bohle ausgerichtet ist. Gegenüber den zuerst besprochenen Bauweisen wird der Vorteil erreicht, dass das Hantieren am Einsatzort einfacher ist. Nachteilig ist, dass der Verstellbereich, um welchen die beiden einen Beschlagverbund bildenden Beschläge gegeneinander verschoben werden können, recht klein ist, sodass die Bauweise nur für Bohlen anwendbar ist, deren Breite in einem relativ engen Bereich liegt.The scriptures AT 12751 U1 , DE 102009007120 A1 and DE 102009043993 A1 show fittings that are further developed compared to the previously described in that the two individual fittings to be attached to the same longitudinal area of a screed are combined to form a fitting assembly that protrudes on both longitudinal edges of the lower surfaces, the fitting assembly consisting of two individual parts which can be moved together , wherein the direction of displacement in the installation situation is aligned transversely to the longitudinal direction of the screed to be fastened. Compared to the designs discussed first, the advantage is achieved that handling on site is easier. It is disadvantageous that the adjustment range by which the two fittings forming a composite fitting can be displaced relative to one another is quite small, so that the construction method can only be used for planks whose width is in a relatively narrow range.

Von diesem Stand der Technik ausgehend besteht die der Erfindung zu Grunde liegende Aufgabe darin, einen Beschlagverbund für das Verbinden von länglichen Deckelementen - typischerweise Bohlen - und Unterkonstruktion einer Gebäudefläche entsprechend jener Bauweise zu schaffen, wonach der Beschlagverbund zwei einzelne Beschläge aufweist, die relativ zueinander verschiebbar miteinander verbunden sind, wobei jeder Beschlag jeweils unter zwei benachbarte Deckelemente ragt und mit jeweils einem Deckelement durch eine Schraube verbunden ist, und, wobei nur einer der beiden Beschläge auch mit der Unterkonstruktion durch eine Schraube verbunden ist. Gegenüber den aus den zuletzt genannten Schriften dazu bekannten Bauweisen soll der neu zu schaffende Beschlagverbund einen größeren Verstellbereich aufweisen und dabei dennoch einfach und kostengünstig zu fertigen sein.Starting from this prior art, the object on which the invention is based is to provide a fitting assembly for connecting elongated cover elements - typically planks - and to create a substructure of a building surface in accordance with the design according to which the fitting assembly has two individual fittings which are connected to one another so as to be displaceable relative to one another, each fitting projecting under two adjacent cover elements and being connected to a cover element by a screw, and, only one of the two fittings is also connected to the substructure by a screw. Compared to the construction methods known from the last-mentioned documents, the fitting assembly to be created should have a larger adjustment range and still be simple and inexpensive to manufacture.

Zum Lösen der Aufgabe wird eine Gebäudeverkleidung gemäß Anspruch 1 vorgeschlagen, wobei vorgesehen ist einen Beschlagverbund derart auszubilden, dass er zwei einzelne Beschläge und einen Verbindungsstab umfasst, an welchem die beiden Beschläge in einem Abstand zueinander befestigt sind, wobei zumindest ein Beschlag durch eine Klemmverbindung an der Mantelfläche des Verbindungsstabes befestigt ist, wobei die Klemmverbindung eine Klemmzunge aufweist, die Teil des Beschlages ist, und unter elastischer Verformung ihrer selbst an der Mantelfläche des Verbindungsstabes anliegt.To solve the problem, a building cladding is proposed according to claim 1, wherein it is provided to form a fitting assembly in such a way that it comprises two individual fittings and a connecting rod to which the two fittings are fastened at a distance from one another, at least one fitting being attached by a clamp connection the lateral surface of the connecting rod is fastened, the clamping connection having a clamping tongue which is part of the fitting, and rests itself against the lateral surface of the connecting rod with elastic deformation.

Indem ein Beschlag durch eine Klemmverbindung an der Mantelfläche des Verbindungsstabes befestigt ist, ist er unter Überwindung von Reibung an der Mantelfläche entlang des Verbindungsstabes verschiebbar und somit in der optimalen Position bezüglich des zweiten Beschlages positionierbar. Indem das verbindende Element zwischen den beiden Beschlägen einfach als Stab ausgeführt ist, kann es sehr einfach und kostengünstig sein, auch wenn es relativ lang ist.Because a fitting is fastened to the lateral surface of the connecting rod by means of a clamping connection, it can be displaced along the connecting rod while overcoming friction on the lateral surface and can therefore be positioned in the optimal position with respect to the second fitting. By simply designing the connecting element between the two fittings as a rod, it can be very simple and inexpensive, even if it is relatively long.

Bevorzugt sind die Einzelteile des Beschlagverbundes als Kunststoffspritzgussteile hergestellt. Damit sind diese Teile auf kostengünstige Weise so ausbildbar, dass sie alle gewünschten Funktionen gut erfüllen. Für Kunststoffspritzguss spricht auch, dass bedingt durch den Anwendungszweck alle Teile in großer Zahl benötigt werden, also bevorzugt in großen Serien zu fertigen sind.The individual parts of the fitting assembly are preferably produced as plastic injection molded parts. This means that these parts can be designed in a cost-effective manner so that they fulfill all the desired functions well. Another advantage of plastic injection molding is that, due to the intended use, all parts are required in large numbers, so they should preferably be manufactured in large series.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist der Verbindungsstab monolithisch gemeinsam mit einem der beiden Beschläge ausgebildet. Das erspart bei der Montage Arbeit.In a preferred embodiment, the connecting rod is formed monolithically together with one of the two fittings. This saves work during assembly.

Die Erfindung wird an Hand von Zeichnungen zu einem beispielhaften erfindungsgemäßen Beschlagverbund veranschaulicht:

  • Fig. 1: zeigt mit Blickrichtung normal auf die Fläche einen Ausschnitt einer Abdeckung einer Gebäudefläche, wobei längliche Deckelemente 1 mittels erfindungsgemäßen Beschlagverbunden 2 an einer Unterkonstruktion 3, die zwischen der Gebäudefläche und den Deckelementen liegt, befestigt sind. Aus Gründen der Anschaulichkeit sind dabei die Deckelemente 1 durchsichtig dargestellt.
  • Fig. 2: zeigt einen Beschlagverbund 2 von Fig. 1 für sich allein mit Blick auf jene Seite, an welcher bei bestimmungsgemäßem Einbau die Deckelemente 1 anliegen.
  • Fig. 3: zeigt in Schrägrissansicht einen Beschlag des Beschlagverbundes von Fig. 1 und Fig. 2.
  • Fig. 4: ist die in Fig. 2 angedeutet Schnittansicht.
The invention is illustrated with the aid of drawings of an exemplary fitting assembly according to the invention:
  • Fig. 1 : shows a section of a cover of a building surface with a normal view of the surface, elongated cover elements 1 being fastened to a substructure 3, which lies between the building surface and the cover elements, by means of fitting connections 2 according to the invention. For reasons of clarity, the cover elements 1 are shown transparently.
  • Fig. 2 : shows a fitting assembly 2 from Fig. 1 by itself with a view of the side on which the cover elements 1 rest when installed as intended.
  • Fig. 3 : shows a fitting of the composite fitting from Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 .
  • Fig. 4 : is the in Fig. 2 indicated sectional view.

Die in Fig. 1 und Fig. 2 als Ganzes ersichtlichen Beschlagverbunde 2 bestehen jeweils aus einem einseitig zu verbindenden Beschlag 4, einem zweiseitig zu verbindenden Beschlag 5 und einem Verbindungsstab 6.In the Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 Fitting assemblies 2 which can be seen as a whole each consist of a fitting 4 to be connected on one side, a fitting 5 to be connected on both sides and a connecting rod 6.

"Einseitig zu verbindend" heißt, dass der Beschlag 4 nur an einer Seite, nämlich mit einem Deckelement 1 durch ein Verbindungselement, wie typischerweise eine Schraube, zu verbinden ist. "Zweiseitig zu verbindend" bedeutet in diesem Zusammenhang, dass der Beschlag 5 sowohl mit dem Deckelement 1, als auch mit der Unterkonstruktion 3 durch ein Verbindungselement, wie typischerweise eine Schraube, zu verbinden ist. Anstelle einer Schraube könnte auch ein anderer Bauteil wie typischerweise ein Nagel oder eine Drahtklammer verwendet werden, welcher durch einen Durchbruch im Beschlag 4, 5 hindurch verläuft und in das Material des Deckelementes 1 bzw. der Unterkonstruktion 3 eindringt.“To be connected on one side” means that the fitting 4 can only be connected on one side, namely to a cover element 1 by means of a connecting element, such as typically a screw. In this context, “to be connected on two sides” means that the fitting 5 is to be connected both to the cover element 1 and to the substructure 3 by means of a connecting element, such as typically a screw. Instead of a screw, another component such as typically a nail or a wire clip could also be used, which is broken through in the Fitting 4, 5 runs through and penetrates into the material of the cover element 1 or the substructure 3.

Die Montage einer Abdeckung einer Gebäudefläche wie in Fig. 1 skizziert enthält typischerweise die folgende, wiederholt ablaufende Folge von Arbeitsschritten a bis g:

  1. a Ein Deckelement 1 wird gegenüber seiner Einbaulage um seine Längsachse um 180° gedreht und an die Unterkonstruktion 3 aufgelegt.
  2. b Ein Beschlagverbund 2 wird so an einem Längsbereich des länglichen Deckelementes 1, an welchem dieses mit der Unterkonstruktion 3 zu verbinden ist aufgelegt, dass jene Seiten der Beschläge 4, 5, an von welchen jeweils eine Anschlaglasche 7, 8 emporsteht, an dem Deckelement von oben her anliegen, und dass der Verbindungsstab 6 quer zur Längsrichtung des Deckelementes verläuft.
  3. c Sowohl der Beschlagverbund 2 als Ganzes, als auch der einseitig zu verbindende Beschlag 4 am Verbindungsstab 6, werden so zurecht geschoben, dass die Anschlaglasche 7 des einseitig zu verbindenden Beschlages 4 an einer Seitenfläche des Deckelementes 1 satt anliegt und die Anschlaglasche 8 des zweiseitig zu verbindenden Beschlages 4 an der gegenüberliegenden Seitenfläche des Deckelementes 1.
  4. d Die Beschläge 4, 5 werden mittels Verbindungselementen - typischerweise selbstbohrenden und selbstschneidenden Schrauben - welche sich durch Durchbrüche 9 in den Beschlägen 4, 5 hindurch in das Material des Deckelementes 1 hinein erstrecken, mit dem Deckelement 1 verbunden.
  5. e Die Schritte b bis d werden für jeden Längsbereich des Deckelementes 1 wiederholt, an welchem dieses mittels eines Beschlagverbundes 2 mit der Unterkonstruktion 3 zu verbinden ist.
  6. f Das längliche Deckelement 1 wird einschließlich der an ihm befestigten Beschlagverbunde 2 um seine Längsachse um 180° gedreht, mit den dann unterkonstruktionsseitig liegenden Beschlagverbunden 2 an die Unterkonstruktion 3 angelegt und mit den einseitig zu verbindenden Beschlägen 4 voran an ein schon zuvor an der Unterkonstruktion 3 befestigtes Deckelement 1 herangeschoben, sodass die vom bewegten Deckelement 1 in Bewegungsrichtung voran abstehenden Fortsätze 10 der einseitig zu verbindenden Beschläge 4 in den Raum zwischen der Unterkonstruktion 3 und dem schon zuvor befestigten Deckelement 1 gleiten.
  7. g Die zweiseitig zu verbinden Beschläge 5 werden mittels Verbindungselementen - typischerweise selbstbohrenden und selbstschneidenden Schrauben - welche sich durch Durchbrüche 11 in den Beschlägen 5 hindurch in das Material der Unterkonstruktion 3 hinein erstrecken, mit der Unterkonstruktion 3 verbunden.
The installation of a cover of a building surface as in Fig. 1 outlined typically contains the following, repeated sequence of work steps a to g:
  1. a A cover element 1 is rotated about its longitudinal axis by 180 ° relative to its installation position and placed on the substructure 3.
  2. b A fitting assembly 2 is placed on a longitudinal area of the elongated cover element 1, on which this is to be connected to the substructure 3, that those sides of the fittings 4, 5, from each of which a stop tab 7, 8 rises, on the cover element of rest above, and that the connecting rod 6 extends transversely to the longitudinal direction of the cover element.
  3. c Both the fitting assembly 2 as a whole, as well as the fitting 4 to be connected on the connecting rod 6, are pushed into such a way that the stop plate 7 of the fitting 4 to be connected on one side fits snugly on one side surface of the cover element 1 and the stop plate 8 on the two sides connecting fitting 4 on the opposite side surface of the cover element 1.
  4. d The fittings 4, 5 are connected to the cover element 1 by means of connecting elements - typically self-drilling and self-tapping screws - which extend through openings 9 in the fittings 4, 5 into the material of the cover element 1.
  5. e Steps b to d are repeated for each longitudinal area of the cover element 1, at which this is to be connected to the substructure 3 by means of a fitting assembly 2.
  6. f The elongated cover element 1, including the fitting assemblies 2 attached to it, is rotated about its longitudinal axis by 180 °, with the fitting assemblies 2 then lying on the substructure side, placed against the substructure 3, and with the fittings 4 to be connected on one side, in front of one already previously on the substructure 3 attached cover element 1 pushed so that the projections 10 protruding from the moving cover element 1 in the direction of movement of the fittings 4 to be connected on one side slide into the space between the substructure 3 and the cover element 1 already attached.
  7. g The fittings 5 to be connected on both sides are connected to the substructure 3 by means of connecting elements - typically self-drilling and self-tapping screws - which extend through openings 11 in the fittings 5 into the material of the substructure 3.

Mittels der Beschlagverbunde kann auf diese Weise eine große Palette von verschieden breiten Deckelementen an einer Unterkonstruktion 3 befestigt werden, ohne dass sich Teile der Beschlagverbunde an der Sichtseite der Deckelemente befinden. Indem die Deckelemente nur an jeweils einer Längsseitenfläche starr mit der Unterkonstruktion 3 verbunden sind, können sie quer zu ihrer Längserstreckung frei quellen und schwinden.In this way, a large range of cover elements of different widths can be fastened to a substructure 3 by means of the fitting assemblies without parts of the fitting assemblies being on the visible side of the cover elements. By rigidly connecting the cover elements to the substructure 3 on only one longitudinal side surface in each case, they can swell and shrink freely transversely to their longitudinal extension.

Bei der gezeigten Ausführungsform ist der Verbindungsstab 6 monolithisch gemeinsam mit dem zweiseitig zu verbindenden Beschlag 5 ausgebildet. Der einseitig zu verbindende Beschlag 4 hingegen ist am Verbindungsstab 6 mittels einer Klemmverbindung zu befestigen. Wie in Fig. 2 bis Fig. 4 gut zu erkennen, stehen von einer Seitenfläche des Beschlages 4 eine obere Klemmzunge 12 und zwei untere Klemmzungen 13 ab. Der Verbindungsstab 6 zwischen den beiden unteren Klemmzungen 13 einerseits und der oberen Klemmzunge 12 andererseits hindurch und wird zwischen den Klemmzungen 12, 13, die an seiner Mantelfläche anliegen, eingeklemmt. Die für die Klemmung erforderliche Kraft kommt durch elastisches Biegen der Klemmzungen 12, 13 zustande.In the embodiment shown, the connecting rod 6 is formed monolithically together with the fitting 5 to be connected on both sides. The fitting 4 to be connected on one side, however, is to be fastened to the connecting rod 6 by means of a clamp connection. As in 2 to 4 clearly visible, an upper clamping tongue 12 and two lower clamping tongues 13 protrude from a side surface of the fitting 4. The connecting rod 6 between the two lower clamping tongues 13 on the one hand and the upper clamping tongue 12 on the other hand and is between the clamping tongues 12, 13, which lie on its outer surface, pinched. The force required for the clamping comes about through elastic bending of the clamping tongues 12, 13.

Wie in Fig. 4 gut erkennbar, ist die Querschnittsform des Verbindungsstabes 6 von der Kreisform abweichend und so mit der Form der Klemmzungen 12 kombiniert, dass es eine Vorzugslage der Querschnittsfläche des Verbindungsstabes 6 zwischen den Klemmzungen 12, 13 gibt, bei der die Klemmzungen 12, 13 minimal ausgebogen sind. Diese Vorzugslage ist so ausgerichtet, dass dabei die bestimmungsgemäßen Berührungsflächen der beiden Beschläge 4, 5 mit der Unterkonstruktion 3 auf einer gemeinsamen Ebene liegen und auch die bestimmungsgemäßen Berührungsflächen der beiden Beschläge 4, 5 mit dem Deckelelement 1 auf einer gemeinsamen Ebene liegen.As in Fig. 4 The cross-sectional shape of the connecting rod 6 is clearly discernible from the circular shape and is combined with the shape of the clamping tongues 12 such that there is a preferred position of the cross-sectional area of the connecting rod 6 between the clamping tongues 12, 13, in which the clamping tongues 12, 13 are minimally bent out . This preferred position is oriented such that the intended contact surfaces of the two fittings 4, 5 with the substructure 3 lie on a common plane and the intended contact surfaces of the two fittings 4, 5 with the cover element 1 lie on a common plane.

Weiters ist besagte Vorzugslage so ausgerichtet, dass dabei die beiden Beschläge 4, 5 bezüglich der Längsrichtung der Deckelemente um mindestens die Breite des breiteren der Beschläge 4, 5 versetzt liegen. Damit wird erreicht, dass Beschlagverbunde in der zur Längsrichtung der Deckelemente normalen Richtung genau hintereinander angeordnet werden können.Furthermore, said preferred position is oriented such that the two fittings 4, 5 are offset with respect to the longitudinal direction of the cover elements by at least the width of the wider fitting 4, 5. This ensures that fitting assemblies can be arranged exactly one behind the other in the direction normal to the longitudinal direction of the cover elements.

Lägen die beiden über den Verbindungsstab 6 miteinander verbunden Beschläge 4, 5 in der zur Längsrichtung der Deckelemente 1 normalen Richtung genau hintereinander, müssten quer zur Längsrichtung der Deckelemente 1 direkt hintereinanderliegende Beschlagverbunde in Längsrichtung der Deckelemente 1 um eine Beschlagsbreite versetzt angeordnet werden. Das ist zwar durchaus realisierbar, erfordert aber bei der Montagearbeit etwas mehr Konzentration.If the two fittings 4, 5, which are connected to one another via the connecting rod 6, lie exactly one behind the other in the direction normal to the longitudinal direction of the cover elements 1, fitting assemblies lying directly one behind the other transversely to the longitudinal direction of the cover elements 1 would have to be arranged offset by a fitting width in the longitudinal direction of the cover elements 1. While this is entirely feasible, it requires a little more concentration during assembly work.

Indem die beiden Beschläge 4, 5 nicht direkt verbunden sind, sondern über einen Verbindungsstab, können sie selbst relativ klein und auch kleinflächig ausgebildet sein, was Material erspart und auch die Auflageflächen zu den Deckelementen und der Unterkonstruktion hin klein hält, womit Staunässe vermieden wird.Since the two fittings 4, 5 are not directly connected, but via a connecting rod, they can themselves be made relatively small and also have a small area, which saves material and also keeps the contact surfaces to the cover elements and the substructure small, thereby avoiding waterlogging.

Zu dem in den Zeichnungen dargestellten Beschlagverbund gibt es innerhalb des Erfindungsgedankens natürlich eine große Menge an möglichen Abwandlungen. Ohne Anspruch auf Vollständigkeit seien im Folgenden mehrere davon genannt:
Es braucht kein Beschlag monolithisch mit dem Verbindungsstab verbunden zu sein. Es können auch beide Beschläge durch eine Klemmverbindung mit der Mantelfläche des Verbindungsstabes verbunden sein, oder es kann auch ein Beschlag mit einem Endbereich des Verbindungsstabes unverschiebbar lösbar verbunden sein.There is of course a large number of possible modifications to the hardware assembly shown in the drawings within the inventive concept. Without claiming to be complete, several of them are mentioned below:
There is no need for a fitting to be connected monolithically to the connecting rod. Both fittings can also be connected to the lateral surface of the connecting rod by a clamp connection, or a fitting can also be connected to an end region of the connecting rod so that it cannot be moved.

Die Klemmverbindung braucht nicht unbedingt Klemmzungen aufzuweisen, die länglich sind und in verbundenem Zustand elastisch gebogen sind.The clamping connection need not necessarily have clamping tongues which are elongated and are elastically bent when connected.
