Description

The invention relates to a method for producing a floating ceiling or wall covering according to claim 1. The invention also relates to an assembly system for producing a floating wall or ceiling covering according to claim 6.

Fastening systems for wall and ceiling coverings are, for example, from FR 2 750 462 A1 , US 2013/000238 A1 , US 2006/156664 A1 , U.S. 4,558,548 A , and the U.S. 4,934,119 A known. All these wall or ceiling coverings are arranged next to one another by means of classic tongue and groove profiles or overlapping and attached to a substructure or directly to the respective wall / ceiling with mounting clips. A generic assembly system for wall and ceiling panels with locking profiles shows EP 2 454 425 A2 .

Wall and ceiling coverings with an at least partially floating installation are for example from the EP 1 343 943 B1 known. It discloses panels connected via corresponding locking profiles, which are fastened to one of the panels by means of a clip holder and a clip to the substrate.

The clip is arranged on the clip holder in such a way that the panel can move both transversely to the direction of the longitudinal axis and in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the panel on the clip. The possibility of movement transversely to the longitudinal axis direction of the panel is generated by means of a clip holder in the panel that is longer than the length of the clip. In this respect, however, the movement transverse to the longitudinal axis direction is only possible to a very limited extent, since the space available in the clip holder is very limited. Another difficulty lies in securing panels arranged on ceilings and walls, which are connected with corresponding locking profiles, because a domino effect arises when a panel is accidentally detached, due to which large sections of the panel surface or even the entire panel surface falls off the mounted wall or ceiling.

The invention is therefore based on the object of providing an improved method and an improved mounting system for producing a floating wall or ceiling covering with which a wall or ceiling covering secured against unintentional detachment can be produced. It is also a task to provide a suitable wall or ceiling covering.

The invention achieves the object by a method with the features of claim 1 and an assembly system with the features of claim 6.

In the case of wall and ceiling coverings that are formed with panels that are connected via (gluelessly connectable) corresponding locking profiles, only one (first) mounting clip with a receptacle is always arranged on a first panel (first row of panels) and the second panel (second row of panels) holds on to the first panel by means of the locking profiles. In order to prevent a domino effect (unintentional detachment of a large number of panels), the inventive fall protection device either forms an additional connection / locking of the second panel to the mounting clip (assigned to the first panel), thereby preventing a domino effect, or it forms an additional connection between the first panel and the (first) mounting clip or between the first panel and the second panel, whereby an unintentional detachment of a panel and thus also a domino effect is prevented.

The method according to the invention for the production of a floating ceiling or wall covering comprising a panel surface with a large number of panels which are connected to one another on the longitudinal and / or transverse sides by means of locking profiles that correspond to one another and can be connected without adhesive, the corresponding locking profiles when two panels are connected without glue To prevent both a height offset between the surfaces of the visible sides of the two panels and the formation of a joint between the panels, has the following steps: arranging the first panels of a first row of panels on construction rails by means of a mounting clip, the mounting clips being movable on the longitudinal axis of the construction rail Construction rails are stored and then pushed along the construction rails with a receptacle on the second side of the first panel, each mounting clip with a receptacle in a recess ng of the first panels engages so that the first panel is movably mounted on the receptacle transversely to the direction of the longitudinal axis of the construction rails, connecting a second panel of a second row of panels with the first panels by means of the longitudinal locking profiles, a fall protection being arranged at the same time as the connection, which prevents the second panel from being detached from the construction rail, the fall protection being arranged in the area of the connected locking profiles.

The method according to the invention enables a particularly simple and tool-free installation of a ceiling or wall covering on the construction rails. There First panels of a first row of panels are fastened to the construction rails with a first longitudinal side which is arranged in the area of a space delimiting surface adjoining the panel surface. This is done either by means of the mounting clips or, for example, by concealed retaining clips that can be mounted on the underside. For further assembly, a mounting clip is arranged on the construction rail, for example by means of a rotary movement around an axis of rotation perpendicular to the panel surface, so that the assembly clip is movably supported on the construction rail with two tabs, for example. The mounting clip is then pushed along the construction rail with a receptacle onto the second side of the first panel opposite the room delimitation side, so that the first panel rests movably on the receptacle in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the panel.

Subsequently, the second panel of a second row of panels is arranged on the longitudinal locking profile of the first panel by means of the longitudinal locking profiles and locked to it. To fasten the second side of the second panel opposite the first row of panels, a mounting clip is again mounted on the construction rail and pushed with its receptacle onto the second side of the second panel.

Further rows of panels are installed in accordance with the installation of the second row of panels, with the last row of panels of a panel surface, for example, corresponding to the first row of panels, on the side facing the room delimiting surface, also being fastened to the construction rail with a mounting clip or, for example, with a retainer clip mounted on the underside and concealed.

The mounting of the panels on the mounting clips, which in turn are movably mounted on the construction rail, enables a completely floating mounting and thus an unimpeded movement of the panel surface between the room boundary surfaces.

A completely floating mounting is understood to mean that the panel surface can move unhindered in its plane in four directions offset by 90 ° to one another as far as the respective adjacent room delimitation surfaces.

The movement can take place along the longitudinal axis of the panels, i.e. transversely to the longitudinal axis of the construction rails, in that the panel slides along the receptacle of the mounting clip, i.e. changing its position in relation to the mounting clip. The movement of the panel surface in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the construction rail takes place together with the mounting clip in that the mounting clip slides along the construction rail. When the panel surface is moved in the direction of the longitudinal axis, there is accordingly no relative movement between the mounting clip and the panel.

Panels of the generic type include wood-based materials, in particular wood-based panels, which are used as wall or ceiling covering. Wood-based materials are understood to mean, in particular, the classic wood-based materials such as plywood panels and veneered wood panels or particle-based wood-based materials, such as, for example, fiberboard, chipboard or OSB panels. In addition, generic panels can also comprise wood-plastic composites, i.e., for example, comprise materials produced by means of extrusion or injection molding processes that contain wood particles. Panels of the generic type preferably comprise a coating. The coating can be, for example, real wood, laminate (DPL: direct pressure laminate, directly pressed laminate, CPL: continues pressure laminate, continuously pressed laminate, HPL: high pressure laminate, high pressure laminate), varnish, for example applied by direct printing or indirect printing, a plastic - or Plexiglas plate or foil, a metal plate, a WPC plate or foil or combinations thereof.

This means that generic panels can in any case have a multilayer design. The panel itself can be multilayered, for example made of a wood-based panel and a coating. It is also possible to design the wood-based panel itself or the coating itself in each case with multiple layers.

A particularly preferred embodiment of the panel is designed as an acoustic panel. In addition to the wood-based materials mentioned above, this can also include the wood-plastic composites (WPC) mentioned. In addition, it can also include a coating, for example one of the above-mentioned coatings, which are arranged in particular on its visible side. On the back, ie the surface opposite the visible side, the acoustic panel can additionally have an absorber which either is connected directly to the carrier plate or a counter-pull on the carrier plate.

In particular, the absorber has a density between 100 kg / m ³ and 300 kg / m ³ . It is preferably 10 mm to 12 mm thick while the carrier plate is in particular in the range from 6 mm to 14 mm thick. The absorber can, for example, be designed as a wood wool panel. The absorber can also comprise, for example, a fiber mixture made from wood and plastic fibers.

Panels in the sense of the invention are characterized by the fact that they are plate-shaped and have locking profiles that correspond to one another on their long sides and their transverse sides for adhesive-free and seamless connection, at least the long sides having locking profiles that correspond to one another and the transverse sides. Alternatively, a transverse side and a longitudinal side can each have identical profiles, so that a first panel can be connected with a transverse side to a longitudinal side of a second profile. A panel surface is to be understood as meaning a plurality of panels which are connected to one another via their corresponding connecting means and, for example, form a seamless surface, a surface covering.

The corresponding locking profiles are designed in particular as rotary profiles, pivot profiles and / or rotary pivot profiles. The locking profiles can also be designed as so-called push-button profiles. As an alternative or in addition, both the longitudinal and the transverse locking profiles can have what is known as 5G locking. The locking of two panels takes place in such a way that the corresponding locking profiles prevent both a height offset between the surfaces of the visible sides of the two panels and the formation of a joint between the panels when connecting (locking) two panels without glue.

The first panels of a first row of panels are understood to mean panels that are connected to one another on their transverse sides (short side edge) via corresponding locking profiles and are part of a wall or ceiling covering. A first row of panels is a first or last row of panels of a panel surface. The first row of panels can thus be a row of panels closing off the panel surface, ie, for example, with one their long sides border on a room delimitation area.

In the case of wall or ceiling coverings made of panels with corresponding locking profiles, it is necessary for the first row of panels to have at least two direct connection points with the substructure, namely on the one hand in the area of the outside (e.g. the side facing the room delimitation area) of the first panels and a connection in the Area of the corresponding locking profile with a second panel. The connection facing the room delimitation surface can also be made with the mounting clip, for example, but preferably a retaining clip can be used for this purpose, which is arranged concealed on the underside of the panel in the wall-side area and comes into engagement with the construction rail.

The mounting clip is to be understood as a fastening means that creates a movable connection between the construction rails of the substructure and the panel surface. The movable mounting of the mounting clip on the construction rails takes place, for example, in such a way that the mounting clip has tabs for grasping around sections of the construction rail, so that the assembly clip can be shifted along the longitudinal axis direction of the construction rails on the construction rails.

To arrange the mounting clip on the panel, it is provided that the mounting clip engages with a receptacle in a recess of the panel. The receptacle can in particular have a first leg which protrudes from a surface of the mounting clip and which comprises the receptacle.

To mount the panels on the receptacle, it is preferably provided that a section of the first leg engages around a section of a groove cheek, for example a lower groove cheek, of the locking profile. A section of the groove cheek rests on or against the receptacle and can move along the receptacle.

The completely floating mounting is thus carried out in such a way that the panel surface as a whole can move in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the construction rails together with the mounting clips, while the panel surface can move in the direction transverse to the direction of the longitudinal axis the construction rails are moved by shifting the sections of the panel resting on the mount of the mounting clip.

The construction rails in particular have a hat-like cross-section, i.e. they have a U-shaped base body, in which the free ends of the legs can be bent outwards at an angle of, for example, 90 ° and form webs pointing in the opposite direction. The construction rails are preferably mounted with their base body directly on the wall or ceiling or another supporting structure, so that the webs are spaced apart and aligned largely parallel to the wall or ceiling.

In the case of wall and ceiling coverings made of panels with corresponding locking profiles, there is a risk of a domino effect when a panel is detached from the substructure. In this case, for example, a first panel becomes detached from the substructure and slips out of the corresponding locking profile of the second panel. By dissolving the corresponding locking connection, the second panels lose their connection to the substructure on one side, as a result of which they also detach from the mounting clip and the respective corresponding locking connection and fall off.

Accordingly, it can happen that, for example, an inadvertently detached panel in the edge area of a panel surface causes large parts of the panel surface or the entire panel surface to fall off at the same time (domino effect).

Fall protection is understood to mean a means or a device which, in addition to the locking profiles and the receptacle on the mounting clip, further fixes the panels, which makes the detachment of a first and / or second panel and in particular a domino effect significantly more difficult or impossible.

The simultaneous arrangement of the fall protection is understood to mean that the fall protection is arranged during the longitudinal connection of the first and second panels, ie when the two panels are locked by means of the locking profiles. In other words, the locking process and the arrangement of the fall protection device take place at least partially at the same time. Under a subsequent arrangement the fall protection means that the installation / assembly of the fall protection takes place after the locking of the locking profiles. Accordingly, before connecting is understood to mean that the fall protection device is installed before the locking profiles are connected.

According to a further development of the invention, the fall protection is arranged in the area of the locking profile. Thus, the fall protection can be designed as an adhesive, which is arranged, for example, in the area of the corresponding locking profile and glues it. Glues in particular can be used as adhesives. The fall protection is particularly preferably designed, for example, as a mechanical component which engages the existing locking profile or the underside of the panel. The fall protection device can in particular be designed as a latching body which engages in a latching body receptacle arranged on a panel.

Particularly preferably, at least one latching body receptacle, into which a latching body preferably arranged on the mounting clip engages, is introduced in the first and / or second panel to form a fall protection device. The engagement takes place in particular before or during the locking of the corresponding locking profiles of the first and second panels.

The locking body receptacle can in particular be designed as a recess. The recess is particularly preferably designed as a groove extending in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the panel. The locking body receptacle is also designed in particular as a groove additional to the locking profile.

The locking body receptacle is preferably arranged in the area of the locking profile of the second panel. The locking body suitable for this is preferably arranged on the mounting clip. According to a preferred embodiment, it can be provided as a second leg which is inserted into the locking body receptacle during the locking process of the locking profiles, whereby a particularly stable securing of the second panel is achieved.

Alternatively, according to a further development of the invention, the latching body is arranged on the first leg that encompasses the receptacle. In these embodiments that will The locking profile of the second panel is coupled to the locking profile of the first panel and at the same time, for example, during the pivoting movement to be carried out to couple the locking profiles, the locking body is inserted into the locking body receptacle.

As an alternative or in addition to the locking body and the locking body receptacle in the area of the locking profiles, the locking body receptacle is introduced into the underside of the first and / or second panel. This can also take place as a single recess or, for example, as a groove extending in the longitudinal direction of the panel. The respectively associated latching body can preferably be designed as a web protruding from the base body of the mounting clip.

When the locking body receptacle is formed in the area of the underside of the first panel, the mounting clip is pushed, for example, with a first leg encompassing the receptacle onto a lower groove cheek of the first panel and a first web arranged on the base body of the mounting clip is inserted into the locking body receptacle of the first panel. Alternatively or also in addition, when the locking profiles are pivoted into one another, a second web is inserted into a latching body receptacle on the second panel on the underside.

Another embodiment provides that when the second panel is mounted on the first panel, a spring element penetrates into both locking profiles so that unlocking is prevented. For this purpose, the spring element is mounted either in the locking profile of the first or the second panel. The spring element preferably engages in a spring element receptacle, for example a groove, so that in the locked state it engages in both locking profiles of the first and second panels.

The previous embodiments of the fall protection supplement or as an alternative to these, a closing strip with a base body and a retaining bar is arranged as a fall protection, the base body being attached to a ceiling or wall covered by the panel surface or an adjoining room delimitation surface and the retaining bar being connected to the base body , in particular releasably latched into the base body, and is applied to the panels.

The design of the fall protection as a retaining bar is particularly simple and does not require any modifications to the previously known locking profiles and mounting clips. The retaining bar is connected to the base body in such a way that the retaining bar rests against the panel surface in the edge region thereof and reliably prevents the panel from becoming detached in the direction perpendicular to the panel surface.

The base body is designed in particular in the form of a plate and is fastened with one mounting side to the ceiling, wall or room delimiting surface. In order to make the assembly of the retaining bar particularly simple, the base body has a latching body receptacle into which the retaining bar, which has a latching body, is locked. The latching body receptacle and the latching body are in particular aligned in such a way that the latching process takes place in the direction perpendicular to the visible covering surface.

As an alternative or in addition, a non-adhesive connecting means can also be introduced into the lower groove cheek of the first panels and attached to the mounting clip. In this context, a connecting means is understood to mean mechanical connecting means such as screws, bolts or the like, but not adhesives. When it is introduced, the connecting means is, for example, screwed into a lower groove cheek of the first panel or inserted into a prepared recess and fastened, for example, screwed, to the mounting clip. In order to allow the panel sufficient freedom of movement transversely to the longitudinal axis direction of the construction rails in spite of the connecting means, the connecting means is also preferably mounted movably transversely to the longitudinal axis direction of the construction rail, for example via an elongated hole.

The ceiling and wall covering can be installed quickly and easily on the construction rails without tools. The moveable mounting of the mounting clips and the moveable mounting of the panels on the mountings of the mounting clips ensure that the panel surface can move between the space delimiting surfaces when swelling and shrinking movements occur, without tension occurring in the panel surface. Furthermore, because the special mounting of the mounting clips and the panels on the mounting clips allows unlimited movement of the panel surface in the area of the room delimitation area, the ceiling and wall covering is also suitable for large swelling and shrinking movements that occur, for example, in damp rooms able to compensate. The locking profiles ensure that the panel surface is preserved as a whole and remains seamless. The fall protection prevents even with strong movements of the panel surface, for example due to swelling and shrinking movements of the wood-based materials, that no domino effects can occur, through which several rows of panels or the entire surface covering unintentionally fall off the substructure.

According to a development of the invention, the panel surface comprises at least one first row of panels, which is attached to the construction rails by means of mounting clips, and a second row of panels, the second panel of which is connected to a first longitudinal side via the corresponding locking profiles with the first panels of the first row of panels and to one of the first Longitudinal side opposite second longitudinal side are mounted on the construction rails by means of the mounting clips, with a fall protection that prevents the panels from being accidentally detached from the construction rail in the area of the interconnected locking profiles of the panels of the first and second row of panels.

The mounting clip particularly preferably has at least one latching body which is latched with a latching body recess in the rear of a panel of the first row of panels and / or in a latching body recess in a panel of the second row of panels. The latching body can be designed as a web, in particular resilient, which protrudes from the surface of a base body of the mounting clip. The web and possibly also the locking body recess can be used to hold the panels particularly securely For example, be arranged at an angle of <90 ° to the surface of the base body of the mounting clip.

To place the receptacle on the recess of the locking profile, the mounting clip preferably has a first leg which protrudes from the surface of the base body of the mounting clip and which surrounds the receptacle. The first leg can, for example, have a holding section which protrudes largely perpendicularly from the base body surface and comprises a receptacle adjoining the holding section, which is for example aligned at an angle of 90 ° +/- 15 ° to the holding section and for engaging the Recess of the locking profile, for example. For placement on a lower groove cheek, is formed.

According to a further development of the invention, the latching body receptacle is arranged in the area of the locking profile of the second panel and the latching body has a second leg which protrudes from the base body of the mounting clip and is latched to the latching body receptacle. The second leg can also protrude largely perpendicularly from the surface of the base body of the mounting clip, for example with a first section, and be locked with a second section in the latching body receptacle. The holding section and the first section can thus be arranged largely parallel, while the receptacle and the second section can point with their free ends in opposite directions.

Alternatively, the latching body is particularly preferably arranged on the first leg and latched in the latching body receptacle in the locking profile of the second panel. In this case, the latching body section protrudes with respect to the receptacle, for example in a largely opposite direction.

According to a further development of the invention, the fall protection device has a magnet which fixes a panel of the first and / or second row of panels on the mounting clip and / or the construction rail. The magnet can either be arranged in one of the panels and interact with a ferromagnetic mounting clip or a ferromagnetic construction rail, or the magnet is arranged on the mounting clip and interacts with a ferromagnetic material introduced into the panel. As an alternative to magnets, magnetized Wood particles can be arranged in the area of the locking profiles or on the underside of the panel, which create a magnetic connection with the mounting clip. Instead of a ferromagnetic material, a second magnet with opposite polarity can also be arranged in order to increase the magnetic force. The magnetic connection also ensures that the panel surface is completely floating on the construction rails.

In addition or as an alternative to the aforementioned embodiments of the fall protection, the fall protection can, according to a further development of the invention, comprise an end strip with a base body and a retaining bar, the base body being fastened to a room delimiting surface (ceiling or wall) and the retaining bar connected to the base body, in particular in the The base body is releasably latched and applied to the panels.

The fall protection device can also comprise an adhesive that glues the corresponding locking profiles to one another so that they cannot be detached from one another without being destroyed. The adhesive can be arranged directly in the area of the locking profiles. The arrangement of the adhesive in the area of the locking profiles ensures that they continue to be floating. Alternatively or additionally, an adhesive, for example based on PU, can also be arranged between the panel of the second row of panels and the mounting clip (which holds a panel of the first row of panels with the receptacle) as a fall protection.

Furthermore, a connection means can be introduced into the first panel, in particular into a groove cheek, for example a lower groove cheek of the first panel, and fastened to the mounting clip as a fall protection. In this context, a connecting means is understood to be a mechanically coupling component (e.g. screws, bolts, hooks or the like). The connecting means is in particular formed separately from the panels and the mounting clip. In this context, adhesives are not to be understood as connecting means. The connecting means protrudes through the lower groove cheek or is mounted in it and firmly connected to the mounting clip in a direction perpendicular to the panel surface. In order to further ensure the floating mounting, the connecting means is movably mounted at least in the mounting clip in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the panel, for example via an elongated hole.

Another embodiment of the fall protection, which can be designed as an alternative or in addition to the aforementioned embodiments, comprises a spring element which engages in the interconnected longitudinal locking profiles. The spring element can, for example, be arranged in an additional groove arranged in the locking profile, for example, so that when the locking profiles are locked, it engages in an additional groove arranged on the second locking profile, for example, and locks the corresponding locking profiles to one another. Such locks are known, for example, as 5G locks in the area of floor panels.

Furthermore, the object of the invention is achieved by a mounting system for producing a floating wall or ceiling covering from panels with mutually corresponding locking profiles, the at least one substructure with construction rails that can be mounted on a wall or ceiling and a mounting clip that is movably mounted on the construction rails in the longitudinal axis direction of the construction rails with a receptacle for engaging a recess on a first panel, wherein the mounting clip has two tabs designed to engage behind the construction rail, which are arranged on opposite sides of a longitudinal axis and a transverse axis of the mounting clip, so that the mounting clip by means of a rotational movement about a perpendicular can be mounted movably on the construction rail on the longitudinal axis and the transverse axis, the construction rails having a U-shaped base body, in which the free ends of the Sche nkel are bent outwards at an angle and form webs pointing in the opposite direction and the mounting clip has in addition to receiving a locking body of a fall protection, which is designed to engage in a locking body receptacle belonging to the fall protection on a panel.

The assembly system enables in a particularly advantageous manner a tool-free assembly of wall or ceiling panels that are connected to one another via corresponding locking profiles. It also ensures a completely floating mounting of the panel surface, so that the generated panel surface within the space delimiting surfaces, for example, swelling and shrinking movements can perform.

As already stated, the construction rails have, for example, a hat-like cross section with a U-shaped base body and bevels arranged at the free ends, which form webs for the lugs of the mounting clips. The webs are preferably aligned at an angle of 90 ° to the legs of the U-shaped base body and thus largely parallel to the bottom of the U. The
free ends of the webs preferably in opposite directions.

Tabs are understood to mean connecting elements for at least partially gripping around the webs and for sliding along the webs. The mounting clip preferably has a, for example, plate-shaped base body. The tabs are preferably designed in one piece with the base body and, for example, punched out of it. The tabs can have a first tab section protruding from the surface of the base body and a second tab section adjoining the first tab section. The second tab section can be arranged largely parallel to the surface of the base body and designed as a spring element. This prevents the mounting clips from slipping off and ensures that they can be moved easily on the webs.

The special arrangement of the tabs around the longitudinal axis is such that the free ends of the second tab section each point in the direction of the longitudinal axis. The additional arrangement around the transverse axis also ensures that the mounting clip can be pushed onto both webs simultaneously with the tabs by means of a rotary movement about an axis of rotation that is perpendicular to the surface of the base body of the mounting clip. The tabs are preferably arranged in mirror symmetry about the transverse axis and the longitudinal axis.

In order to enable an assembly that is not visible on the longitudinal side of the first panel, a retaining clip that can be fixed on the panel and movably mounted on the construction rail in the longitudinal axis direction of the construction rail is arranged. The retaining clip can be attached to the back of the panel. In order to ensure that the panel surface is laid in a floating manner, it can be attached to the rear of the panel so that it can be moved transversely to the construction rail. This can be done, for example, via an elongated hole in the retaining clip, by means of which the retaining clip is fastened, for example screwed, to the panel.

According to a further development of the invention, the mounting clip has a first leg extending out of the surface of the mounting clip, which in particular has a first holding section and the receptacle for engaging that adjoins the holding section and is in particular essentially transverse to the holding section and largely parallel to the surface of the mounting clip into the recess includes. This means that the angle between the holding section and the receptacle is preferably 90 ° +/- 2 °.

In order to make the unintentional detachment of individual panels more difficult and in particular to prevent a domino effect when the panels fall off, the mounting clip has a fall protection device in addition to the receptacle.

For this purpose, in addition to the receptacle, a latching body for engaging in a latching body receptacle is arranged on one of the panels. The locking body receptacle can be arranged on the underside of a panel or in the area of the corresponding locking profiles on the longitudinal side, depending on the positioning of the locking body on the mounting clip.

In order to engage the latching body in a latching body receptacle arranged in the area of the locking profiles, a latching body section extending out of the holding section of the first leg is preferably arranged. The latching body section extends, for example, in a direction that is largely opposite to the receptacle.

For example, the locking body can be arranged at an angle of 90 ° or greater than 90 ° to the holding section. This means that the end (free end) of the latching body not connected to the holding arm extends in a direction parallel to the base body or away from the base body. As a result, the fall protection device can, for example, when the locking profiles are designed as rotary profiles during the locking process, particularly easily penetrate into the second panel and connect to it.

A particularly secure locking of the second panels on the mounting clip via the fall protection can also be achieved if the locking body is arranged at an angle of less than 90 ° to the holding section. That is to say that the end of the locking body not connected to the holding section extends in the direction of the base body. For this purpose, for example, a locking body with a linear cross-section can be arranged on the holding section at an angle of less than 90 °. The latching body itself can also be designed, for example, as an angle element with two sections arranged at an angle to one another. The second section includes the free end, which points in the direction of the base body of the mounting clip. The first section of the angled Latching body is in particular arranged at an angle of 90 ° or greater to the holding section.

The locking body can be designed as a web and / or a bead. In order to facilitate penetration of the locking body into the panel, for example into an absorber and / or a carrier plate (MDF, HDF, chipboard, etc.) of the panel, the locking body (s) can be designed with a tapering free end. In this case, the latching body receptacle is formed in a particularly simple manner by the displacement of the panel material when the latching body penetrates. The panel material can be, for example, the material of the carrier plate or the absorber.

By means of the fall protection, a lock can possibly even have a clamping effect between a free end of the receptacle, which rests on an underside of the upper groove cheek of the first panel or is arranged in the area of the upper groove cheek, and the locking body, which is in the second panel or a Latching body receptacle is arranged in the second panel, are formed.

The locking body can also be designed as a flexible body. For this purpose, it can be arranged in a starting position for attaching the second panel, for example with its first end on the holding arm. With the attachment of the panel and the locking process of the locking profiles in a locking position, the locking body is inserted into a locking body receptacle and undergoes a bend in which, for example, the free end is moved more than the first end opposite the free end and, for example, connected to the holding section .

The locking body receptacle can be designed differently. For example, it can be arranged on the second panel and designed as an undercut in the area of the groove base of the upper groove cheek (tongue). The latching body receptacle can also be designed, for example, as a slot which is arranged in the panel, for example in the carrier plate of the panel or, if an acoustic panel is formed, in the carrier plate or the absorber. Alternatively, the latching body receptacle can also be formed, for example, by piercing the latching body into the panel, ie into the carrier plate of the panel or, in the case of the acoustic panel, into the carrier plate and / or the absorber (for example when two latching bodies are formed).

A clamping connection between the locking body receptacle and the locking body can be established.

The locking body receptacle can, for example, be designed as a recess to fit precisely onto the locking body, d. This means that it is largely free of play or, if necessary, with a slight oversize relative to the latching body.

The locking body receptacle can also have a clear oversize relative to the locking body. This can be the case in particular when the locking body is arranged, for example, as an angle element in which the free end of the locking body points in the direction of the base body of the mounting clip, and / or the locking body is arranged at an angle of 90 ° to the holding section.

As an alternative to the arrangement of the latching body on the first leg, a second leg extending from the surface of the base body of the mounting clip is arranged, which comprises a latching body for locking in the latching body receptacle.

In addition or as an alternative, the locking body can also be designed to engage in a locking body receptacle arranged on the underside in a panel. For this purpose, the mounting clip has a web extending out of the surface of the base body of the mounting clip on a section which is arranged on the underside panel in the mounted state of the mounting clip and not in the area of the locking profiles. The web is significantly shorter than the first or second leg and engages exclusively in a latching body receptacle arranged on the underside of at least one of the panels. The latching body receptacle can, for example, be introduced into the underside as a groove.

The web is preferably designed as a bevel of an outer edge of the mounting clip, but can also be punched out of the base body of the mounting clip. An angle between the web and the surface of the mounting clip is preferably <90 °, the free end of the web being inclined in the direction of the central axis of the mounting clip. This enables a particularly secure hold of the web in the locking body receptacle.

Fig. 1 shows schematically in a cross section a section from a ceiling covering 1. The ceiling covering 1 comprises a plurality of panels which are connected to one another by means of their corresponding connecting profiles 2. In Fig. 1 shows two panels, a first panel 1a and a second panel 1b, which are connected to one another via their corresponding locking profiles 2 arranged on the longitudinal side.

In the area of the locking profile 2, a mounting clip 3 is arranged, which engages with a receptacle 4a on a lower groove cheek 5 of the corresponding locking profile 2 of the first panel 1a. The lower groove cheek 5 rests on the receptacle 4a. The corresponding locking profile 2 is designed as a 5G connection, in which a spring element 6 is locked in a groove 7 in the lower groove cheek 5 and in a groove 8 on the second panel 1b.

The mounting clip 3 has a flat base body 9. A first leg 4 extending perpendicular to the surface protrudes from the surface 3a of the base body 9 facing the panels 1a, 1b in the direction of the first and second panels 1a, 1b. The first leg 4 comprises a holding section 10 and a receiving section with the receiving part 4a. The holding section 10 is largely aligned parallel to the surface 3 a of the mounting clip 3.

The mounting clip 3 is movably supported by means of two tabs 32 on a construction rail 12 of a substructure. The construction rail 12 is firmly connected to a ceiling 13 by means of a screw connection 14.

The mounting clip 3 is movably supported in the longitudinal axis direction (L) of the construction rail 12 via the tabs 32. The lower groove cheek 5 is in turn supported displaceably on the receptacle 4a, so that the ceiling covering 1 made from the panels 1a, 1b can be moved along its plane in four directions. The ceiling covering 1 is thus completely floating.

The fall arrest device 15 is formed via the groove 7 in the lower groove cheek 5, the groove 8a in the tongue 8 and the spring element 6 engaging in both grooves 7, 8a. When the side (not shown here) of the first panel 1a opposite the lower groove cheek 5 is detached, the spring element 6 prevents the lower groove cheek from slipping out 5 from the corresponding locking profile 2, so that the first panel 1 a is also held on the ceiling 13. This also reliably prevents a domino effect. On the opposite side, if the side of the second panel 1b opposite the tongue 8 is detached by means of the spring element 6, the spring element 6 is prevented from being separated from the corresponding locking profile 2, so that the second panel 1b or a domino effect is reliably prevented.

Fig. 2 shows a schematic cross-section through a ceiling covering 1 in the area of panels with corresponding locking profiles 2 arranged along the length. The arrangement of the ceiling covering 1, the construction rail 12 and the first and second panels 1a, 1b with the corresponding locking profiles 2 is identical to the illustration in FIG Fig. 1 . The mounting of the mounting clip 3 on the construction rail 12 is also identical.

To secure the panels 1a, 1b against falling down, in particular to prevent a domino effect, a second leg 28 protruding from the surface 3a of the base body 9 of the mounting clip 3 is arranged on the mounting clip 3. The second leg 28 has a locking body 16 which extends into a locking body receptacle 17 designed as a groove. The latching body receptacle 17 is arranged in a second panel 1b of the second row of panels.

In the Fig. 2 The illustrated embodiment of the fall protection device 15 prevents in particular a domino effect, since when the first panel 1a is detached it can fall off the ceiling 13, but the second panel 1b remains securely attached to the ceiling 13 via the latching body 16 and the latching body receptacle 17.

Fig. 3 shows a further embodiment of the fall protection device 15. The structural design of the ceiling 13, structural rail 12 and the attachment of the mounting clip 3 to the structural rail 12 and the corresponding locking profile 2 is with the structural design of Fig. 1 and 2 identical.

In the embodiment shown here, however, the latching body 16 is not arranged on a separate second leg 28 on the mounting clip 3, but extends out of the holding section 10 of the first leg 4. In this embodiment too, a domino effect is prevented in particular when the first panel 1a is detached, since that second panel 1b is held via the locking body 17.

Fig. 4 shows schematically a cross section through a ceiling covering 1. The structural construction of ceiling 13, construction rail 12, mounting clip 3 and ceiling covering 1 is identical to that in FIG Fig. 1-3 structure described identical.

The fall arrester 15 is designed here as a web 18 extending from the base body 9 of the mounting clip 3, which engages in a locking body receptacle 17 designed as a groove 19, which is arranged on the underside 1c of the first panel 1a. When the side of the first panel 1a opposite the lower groove cheek 5 is detached, the web 18 engaged in the groove 19 prevents the first panel 1a from slipping out of the corresponding locking profile 2 and thus prevents the first panel or further panels from falling.

Fig. 5 shows a further embodiment of the ceiling covering 1 according to the invention. The structural construction of ceiling 13, construction rail 12, mounting clip 3, ceiling covering 1 and locking profile 2 is identical to that shown in FIG Fig. 1-4 structure described identical. Also shows Fig. 5 in the Figure 4 As an additional safeguard, the mounting clip 3 has a second web 18a which engages in a second groove 19a arranged on the second panel 1b and designed as a latching body receptacle 17 on the underside. Of course, the fall protection 15 can also be formed by a second web 18a with a second groove 19a, ie without a first web 18 and first groove 19.

Fig. 6 shows a further embodiment of the fall protection device 15, which reliably prevents the first panel 1a from falling off. In this case, the lower groove cheek 5 of the first panel 1 a is screwed to the mounting clip 3 by means of a connecting means - here a screw 21. To enable a possible swelling and shrinking movement of the panels transversely to the longitudinal axis direction (L) of the construction rail 12, the screw is mounted in an elongated hole (not shown here) in the mounting clip 3 transversely to the longitudinal axis direction of the construction rail 12. This reliably prevents the first panel 1a and thus also the second panel 1b from falling off, while the panels 1a, 1b can continue to move freely in the panel plane both in the longitudinal axis direction (L) and transversely to the longitudinal axis direction (L) of the construction rail 12.

Fig. 7 shows a construction rail 12, which is formed as a bent sheet metal. The Construction rail 12 has a U-shaped base body 33 in cross section. The free ends of the profile legs 20 of the U are angled at a 90 ° angle from the profile leg 20 and form webs 34. The two webs 34 are designed to accommodate the mounting clip 3.

The mounting clip is in Fig. 8 shown. The mounting clip 3 has the flat base body 9, from the top side 3b of which two first legs 4 with a holding section 10 and a receptacle 4a extend. The holding section 10 extends largely perpendicular to the surface 3a of the flat base body 9. The first legs 4 are thus largely L-shaped. Two openings 9a are also shown, through which the tabs 32 extending out of the underside 3c of the flat base body 9 are visible. The tabs 32 are also L-shaped in cross section.

Fig. 9 shows a retaining clip 11 which can be used, for example, to assemble a first row of panels 1a. In this case, the retaining clip 11 is fastened, in particular screwed, to the side of the panels 1a which is arranged towards the wall / ceiling in the assembled state. For this purpose, the retaining clip 11 has an elongated hole 22 which is arranged centrally on the retaining clip 11 here. Furthermore, the retaining clip 11 has a gripping leg 23 on each of its transverse edges 11a for gripping around the construction rail and on its longitudinal sides two webs 24 for engaging in the profile of the construction rail 12.

Figures 10a and 10b show a further embodiment for a fall protection device 15, which is designed as an end strip 24. The end strip 24 has a base body 25 and a retaining strip 26. The end strip 24 shown here is designed for mounting on the wall and for securing a ceiling covering 1 or a wall covering. In this case, the base body 25 is fastened to a wall with a mounting side 30, for example by means of a screw or adhesive connection. The base body 25 has a latching body receptacle 29. To attach the retaining strip 26 to the base body 25, a latching body - here as a latching strip 27 - is formed on the retaining strip 26, which is designed to snap into the latching body receptacle 29 on the base body 25.

For example, after completion of the ceiling covering 1, the base body 25 is attached to the adjacent wall (not shown here). The retaining strip 26 is then introduced with its locking strip 27 into the locking body receptacle 29. In this case, the base body 25 is arranged on the wall in such a way that the retaining strip 26 with its upper side 26a on the Ceiling covering 1 is applied. In this way, on the one hand, a fall of the first panels 1a, ie ceiling panels arranged on the wall or wall panels arranged on the ceiling, is reliably prevented from falling.

Figure 11 shows schematically in a cross section a further embodiment of a wall and ceiling covering 1 with a mounting clip 3 which has a fall protection device 15.

A first and a second panel 1 a, 1 b are shown, which are connected to one another without glue via corresponding locking profiles 2. The corresponding locking profiles 2 are designed as rotary profiles. Both panels 1a, 1b are designed as acoustic panels, each of which comprises a carrier plate 35 with a decorative coating (not shown here) in the area of the visible side S and an absorber 36 arranged on the rear. The undersides 1c of the panels 1a, 1b are thus largely formed exclusively by the absorber 36.

The connected panels 1 a, 1 b are connected with a mounting clip 3. The mounting clip 3 has a flat base body 9 with a holding section 10 protruding perpendicularly from the base body 9. The holding section 10 is followed by the receptacle 4a, which is arranged at an angle α of 90 ° to the holding section 10. The holding section 10 and the receptacle 4a together form the first leg 4.

Starting from the flat base body 9 in a second half of the holding section 10, a latching body 16 is arranged. The locking body 16 is arranged at an angle α of greater than 90 °, here of 140 °, to the holding section. A free end 16a of the locking body 16 thus points in the direction of the visible side S of the second panel 1b.

A latching body receptacle 17 is arranged in the second panel 1b. The locking body 16 lies in the locking body receptacle 17. The locking body receptacle 17 is designed as an enlargement of the groove base 37 of the tongue 8. The locking body receptacle 17 extends here over the entire length of the panel 1a, 1b.

Locking of the second panel 1b on the mounting clip 3 is achieved via the free end 4b of the receptacle 4 in the region of the underside 8b of the spring 8 and the catch body 16 resting in the catch body receptacle 17. In the case of an unintentional When the first panel 1a is detached, it rotates out of the locking profile 2. However, the associated dissolution of the locking connection does not cause a domino effect and thus the second panel falling off, since the second panel 1b remains hanging on the mounting clip 3 due to the locking via the latching body 16 and the free end 4b of the receptacle 4.

Figures 12a and 12b show schematically in a cross section a further embodiment of a wall and ceiling covering 1 with a mounting clip 3, which has a fall protection 15. It represents Figure 12a the beginning of the locking process of the locking profiles 2 and the piercing of the locking body 16 into the absorber 36.

In Figure 12b the first panel 1a and the second panel 1b are locked together without glue via the locking profiles 2 and connected to the mounting clip 3. The fall protection 15 is formed by the locking body 16, which has penetrated into the absorber 36 and has thus created its own locking body receptacle 17.

The locking body 16 is arranged in a first half of the holding section 10 and positioned at an angle α of 90 ° to the holding section 10. In particular, depending on the density of the absorber 36, the latching body 16 can experience a bending movement during the locking movement, so that here in particular the free end 16a of the latching body 16 is moved. The further structural design corresponds to the structural design of the panels 1a, 1b and the mounting clip 3 from Figure 11 .

Figures 13a and 13b show a further embodiment of a wall and ceiling covering 1 with a mounting clip 3 with fall protection 15, also schematically in a cross section. It shows Figure 13a again the beginning of the locking process of the locking profiles 2 during Figure 13b shows the panels 1a, 1b that are completely joined together without glue. From the embodiment in Figure 12a and Figure 12b This embodiment differs in that the latching body 16 is in its starting position ( Figure 13a ) arranged at an angle α greater than 90 ° to the holding section 10 and a slot-shaped locking body receptacle 17 for penetration of the locking body 16 is introduced in the absorber 36. When the locking body 16 penetrates into the locking body receptacle 17, the locking body experiences 16 a bend (not shown here). The further structural design of the first and second panels 1a, 1b and the mounting clip 3 corresponds to the embodiments from FIG Figure 12a and Figure 12b .

Figure 14 shows schematically in a cross section a further embodiment of a wall and ceiling covering 1 with a mounting clip 3 with fall protection 15. In this embodiment, two locking bodies 16 are arranged as fall protection 15, which are designed as pointed thorns. The locking body receptacles 17 are produced by the penetration of the thorns into the second panel 1b. Both spikes (latching body 16) are arranged here at an angle α equal to 90 ° between their central longitudinal axis (shown in dashed lines) and the holding section 10. A first large locking body 16 is arranged in the first half of the holding section 10 and the second locking body 16 is arranged in the second half of the holding section 10, ie in the region of the receptacle 4a. The first large latching body 16 is thus arranged in the absorber 36, while the small, second latching body 16 is arranged in the carrier plate 35 of the second panel 1b. Alternatively, it is also possible to form the fall protection 15 with only one locking body 16 (mandrel). In the case of a panel 1a, 1b with an absorber 36 (such as an acoustic panel), the latter can, for example, either engage in the absorber 36 or in the carrier plate 35. It is of course also possible to arrange two locking bodies 16 designed as spikes in a panel 1a, 1b without an absorber.

The size of the thorns can be tailored to the respective type of material. In the case of hard materials, for example materials that are inclined to splinter or split, such as fiberboard or WPC, the locking bodies can be made smaller, in particular shorter, so that the depth of penetration into the material is limited. In the case of soft materials, such as the absorber, on the other hand, the locking bodies can be made larger, in particular longer, in order to enable a penetration depth sufficient to hold the panel.

The Figures 15a and 15b show schematically in a cross section a further embodiment of a wall and ceiling covering 1 with a mounting clip 3 with fall protection 15. In this embodiment, the latching body 16 is positioned in the second half of the holding section 10. Both figures show three alternatively feasible orientations of the free end 16a.1 to 16a.3 of the latching body 16. In a first position, the free end 16a.1 is at an angle α greater than 90 °; in a second position, it is free End 16a.2 at an angle α equal to 90 ° and in a third position the free end 16a.3 is aligned with the holding section 10 at an angle α less than 90 °. The locking body receptacle 17 is oversized. In particular in the embodiment accordingly Figure 15a the third position of the free end 16a.3 is particularly advantageous since the free end 16a.3 is arranged in the immediate vicinity of a side wall 17b of the locking body receptacle 17.

The embodiment from Figure 15b differs from the embodiment Figure 15a in that the locking body receptacle 17 in the embodiment of Figure 15a is designed as a simple slot which is oriented obliquely to the visible sides S, while the locking body receptacle 17 in the embodiment of Figure 15b straightened in its lower side wall 17b, ie provided with a perpendicular section 17a (to the visible sides). This significantly facilitates the introduction of the locking bodies 16 into the locking body receptacle 17.

Figure 16 shows schematically in a cross section a further embodiment of the wall and ceiling covering 1 with a mounting clip 3 with fall protection 15. In this embodiment is between the bottom 1c of the second panel 1b and the surface 3a of the mounting clip 3, more precisely between the surface 3a of the flat base body 9, which faces the underside 1c of the second panel 1b, an adhesive 38, for example on a PU basis, is arranged that connects the second panel 1b to the mounting clip 3. In this respect, the mounting clip 3 does not have any latching bodies 16 and, in addition, no latching body receptacle 17 is formed. This embodiment of the fall protection device 15 can be implemented as an alternative, but in particular in addition, to the embodiments described above and of course also in the case of panels 1a, 1b which are not designed as acoustic panels and thus do not have an absorber 36. The further structural design of the mounting clip 3 (first leg 4, holding section 10, receptacle 4a) and the two panels 1a, 1b (visible side S, carrier plate 35, absorber 36, corresponding locking profiles 2) corresponds to the design from FIGS Figures 11-15b .

The ones in the Figures 11-15b The locking bodies 16 shown all extend in the opposite direction to the receptacle 4a. The latching bodies 16 can preferably be as structural bodies protruding from the surface of the holding section 10, in particular as from the holding section 10 bent out structure may be formed.

The ones in the Figures 2 , 3 , 5 , and 11-16 The fall protection devices 15 shown establish a connection / locking between the second panel 1b and the mounting clip 3.

All in the Figures 1-16 The fall protection devices 15 shown can be used both on conventional panels 1a, 1b (with decorative cover layer, carrier plate and, if applicable, counter-tension) and on panels 1a, 1b, which are designed as acoustic panels (with decorative cover layer, carrier plate, or optionally, counter-tension and absorber).
