Abstract

In a system for aligning the vertical inclination of railing panels in a railing plate mount with a support member to be inserted into the railing panel mount and a slide member longitudinally displaceable relative to the support member, it is provided that the adjustment of a vertical bearing side predisposing the vertical inclination of the railing panel is disengaged from longitudinal displacement of the sliding member the vertical inclination of the support in the railing plate recording ensuring outer plant side completes.

Description

The invention relates to a system for aligning the vertical inclination of railing plates in a railing plate recording with a einzetzbaren in the railing plate support member and a relative to the support member in Geländerverlaufsrichtung longitudinally displaceable sliding part, wherein the system at least one vertical inclination of the endfixierten railing panel predetermining inner bearing side and at least one support against forms the railing plate recording ensuring outer investment side and can be adjusted by means of the resulting from the longitudinal displacement of the sliding part different positioning of the sliding relative to the support member, a different vertical inclination inner plant side.

More recently, railings have been increasingly used in which all-glass railing panels are used, which are largely free-standing and only used with their lower edge in railing plate recording. The heavy glass plates themselves must be firmly fixed in the railing plate mount via clamping systems and can absorb sufficient forces to serve as reliable fall protection. The forces acting on the railing plate support via the glass plate and the fixing device, for example when one or more persons lean against the railing, can be considerable due to the lever ratios.

When Gelanderplattenaufnahmen come in particular on a building to be anchored and typically U-shaped retaining profiles, preferably on the ground to be anchored, spaced apart individual floor clamps or directly introduced in a building body groove-like disk recordings into consideration. In a clamping fixation the railing plate is not penetrated by a fastener, but clamped non-positively by the force exerted by the clamping system on the railing plate surface clamping force in the disk holder. From such basically known railing record and clamping devices, the invention is also based.

Such all-glass railings are regarded as design objects and there are high demands placed on the visual complacency and the quality impression of such a railing. One aspect that is of great importance in this context is that the individual railing plates arranged in such a railing must be aligned precisely with one another in order to provide a total railing extending over a relatively long distance with its numerous individual sheets in the railing direction gives a coherent overall picture. Although the retaining profiles and the railing plates can be produced with narrow tolerances, in particular the structural parts to which the retaining profiles are mounted often are not adequately oriented, so that the possibility of adjusting the vertical inclination of individual railing plates is necessary so that the railing plates in the railing direction exactly can be aligned flush with each other. In addition, when using thermally pretreated glass this can be slightly curved in itself, which can lead to an optically insufficient alignment of adjacent railing panels to each other even with optimally tolerated components and optimally aligned structural parts. It should be noted that even a slight vertical tilt deviation on the lower edge of the railing panel used in the retaining profile relative to the adjacent railing panel at the upper edge of the railing panel because of the geometric conditions potentiated and therefore visually clearly noticeable. Even the placement of continuous handrails, in particular of grooved pipes, can be made considerably more difficult if the railing panels are not aligned sufficiently precisely with one another.

One possibility of vertical tilt adjustment is disclosed by the German Utility Model DE 20 2013 104 330 U1 , In this system, the railing plate is clamped within a serving as Gelanderplattenaufnahme bottom profile between a clamping wedge and a plate carrier. To adjust the vertical inclination of the railing plate, the vertical inclination of the plate carrier is adjusted by longitudinal displacement of a sliding element. A disadvantage of this adjustment system, however, is that an adjustment of the vertical inclination of the railing plate is carried out by the displacement of the sliding element, without the system is able to adapt to the inevitable occurring simultaneously change the gap geometry on both sides of the railing plate. Any change in the inclination of the railing plate facing side of the plate support inevitably changes the inclination of the Bodenprofilinnenwandung facing page. Also on the clamping wedge side, the gap geometry changes as a result of a change in the railing plate inclination, without the clamping wedge used would compensate for this change. Therefore support plate carrier and clamping wedge the railing plate due to the missing Adaptability to a changing with the railing plate slope gap geometry not independent of the railing plate slope evenly and optimally flat. The uneven distribution of the clamping force at the individual force application point as well as over several clampings extending along the railing plate receptacle can lead to a distortion of the glass plate and resulting voltage peaks in the glass.

The object of the invention is therefore to provide a system for supporting railing panels, in particular all-glass railing panels, and its components, which largely minimizes the disadvantages of the known system described above and provides optimized reception and support of the railing panel in the overall system. The system should be easy to manufacture, get along with a few components, enable a robust load-bearing mounting of the railing plates in the railing plate recording, easy to install on site and allow easy and preferably reversible adjustability of the vertical inclination of the railing panels. In addition, a system is sought in which the railing plates can be easily removed for repair or replacement purposes from the railing plate recording.

The invention solves the problem by a system in which the sliding part and the support part cooperate in such a way that, in the case of a longitudinal displacement of the sliding part, a change in the vertical inclination of the inner contact side takes place independently of the vertical inclination of the outer contact side. In particular, from the longitudinal displacement of the sliding part, a tilt adjustment of the vertical inclination of the railing plate predetermining the inner investment side done, while the vertical inclination of an applied against the railing plate receiving outer investment side remains unchanged.

The invention is thus based on the finding, not only make the tilt adjustment of a slide member separate plate carrier, which is supported on the outside at the same time against a bottom profile inner wall, but the inclination adjustment of the railing plate inclination predetermining inner investment side of the voltage applied against the inner wall of the railing plate recording outer Decouple the plant side of the system. Thus, the inclination adjustment of the railing plate can be done while the clamping force supporting abutment sides of the system are able to adapt simultaneously to the change in the gap geometry and optimal investment is maintained on the adjacent surfaces. Although the system of supporting and sliding part can also work when the weight of the railing plate loads on support parts, which are separate parts of supporting and sliding part, it is preferably provided that the support member is formed as a the weight load of the railing plate receiving plate carrier. When inserted railing plate, the support member is thus fixed immovably within the railing plate recording, while the sliding part can be moved even with inserted railing plate, because the weight of the railing plate rests on the plate support and not on the sliding part.

Regardless of whether the supporting and sliding part separate components are used as support members or whether the weight of the railing plate rests on the support member allows tilt adjustment even when used in the railing plate recording and resting on the support members or the support railing plate a largely force-free displacement of the Sliding part and in particular a Geländerplattenneigung changing setting with tension-free in the railing plate positioned railing plate.

It can be provided that the sliding part and the support member are arranged so that when the railing plate inserted, the support member is disposed at least on one side of the railing plate between railing plate and sliding part. The inner bearing side, which dictates the railing plate inclination, is then the inner side of the support part facing the railing plate, and the outer bearing side is then the outer side of the sliding part facing the lateral inner wall of the railing plate receptacle. However, a refinement in which the sliding part is guided with the railing plate inserted on at least one side of the railing plate between the railing plate and the supporting part is preferred. The inner bearing side, which dictates the railing plate inclination, is then the inner side of the sliding part facing the railing plate, and the outer bearing side is then the outer side of the supporting part facing the lateral inner wall of the railing plate mounting. As well as embodiments are conceivable in which on both sides of the railing plate, the support member forms the inner bearing side or in which the sliding part forms the inner bearing side on both sides of the railing plate, embodiments are also conceivable in which on one side of the railing plate, the sliding part of the inner Plant side forms and in which on the other side of the railing a support member, in particular also acts as a support member clamping device, the inner plant side forms.

When used as intended railing plate are preferably on at least one railing side, the inner bearing side directly with the railing plate surface and the outer bearing side directly with the system facing the inner surface of the railing plate recording in contact. However, it can also be provided that there are further components or system components between the inner contact side and / or the outer contact side and the railing plate surface and / or the inner surface of the railing plate mount, such as soft plastic or rubber inserts to protect the railing plate surface and / or clamping devices for application the railing plate ultimately in the railing plate recording defining clamping force. The fact that the inner bearing side is supported against the railing plate and supports the outer bearing side against the railing plate recording, so does not necessarily mean that the inner bearing side is directly in contact with the railing plate and the outer bearing side with an inner surface of the railing plate recording.

In principle, it would be sufficient to form a adaptation to the adjustment of the vertical inclination of the railing panel adjusting change of the gap geometry adjusting system, to make this adjustment only on one side of the railing plate. In such a case, it makes sense to form the sliding part and the support member only in a plate-shaped or at least partially L-shaped, in particular with a horizontally oriented base leg and a vertical leg to be arranged on one side of the railing plate. On the side facing away from the adjustment system with inserted railing a clamping device can be used, which is also able to adapt to a change in the gap geometry preferably via a mechanism of the clamping device itself. However, it is considered to be advantageous if sliding part and support member are formed such that the system is able to adapt to both sides of the railing plate to the adjusting due to an adjustment of the vertical inclination of the railing plate change the gap geometry between railing plate and railing plate recording.

Both sliding part and support member may be formed for this purpose at least partially in cross-section U-shaped. From the preferred U-shaped design results on both sides of a railing plate used a synchronous adjustment of the adjustment system to a likewise changing gap geometry as a result of the change in the railing plate inclination.

The sliding part is preferably guided on the inside of the support part and thus moves with a longitudinal displacement and with inserted railing plate between an inner side of the railing plate facing the support member and the railing plate surface. An embodiment in which the sliding part is guided on the outside of the support part and moves at a longitudinal displacement between the inner wall of the railing plate receiving and a said inner wall facing the outside of the support member is also conceivable. In addition, a configuration is conceivable in which the sliding part is guided on one side of the railing plate inside a first support member and in which on the other side of the railing plate, the sliding part is guided outside the first support member or a further, second support member.

In order for a change in the vertical inclination of the inner contact side to take place independently of the vertical inclination of the outer contact side during a longitudinal displacement of the sliding part, provision can be made in particular for guide faces of the support part and sliding part to form guide surfaces at least over a partial region of the surfaces defined by the guide sides ( Preferably, the entire surface spanned by the guide sides is designed as a guide surface), which are wound in a corresponding manner to one another in the railing direction. The mutually facing guide surfaces preferably follow the course of a partial surface of an imaginary screw-shaped or spiral twisted body. The lines following the twisting of the guide surfaces can describe a subsection of an imaginary (single or multiple) helix. In a longitudinal displacement of the sliding element in Gelanderverlaufsrichtung thus either the guided inside the support member sliding part rotates about an axis parallel to the railing direction axis, so that its inwardly facing side, which forms the inner plant side in this case, changes its vertical inclination, while the outer investment side of the outside of the support member is formed. Or the outside of the support part guided sliding part rotates in its longitudinal displacement located within the sliding part support part, so that the inside of the support member forms the inner investment side, while the outer investment side is formed by the sliding along the inner wall of the railing plate recording outside of the sliding part. In both cases, the support member preferably remains stationary, as it preferably acts as a weight of the plates receiving carrier part. And in both cases, the vertical inclination of the railing panel determining inner investment site changes without the vertical inclination of the outer investment side would also change.

The twisted in itself guide pages or formed on these guide surfaces of sliding part and support member are preferably coordinated such that results in an angular displacement of about ± 1 ° between two Verschiebeendpositionen of the sliding part. Starting from a central neutral position, in which the inclination of the inner bearing side preferably predetermines a railing plate inclination of 0 ° (perpendicular to the ground aligned railing plate), the sliding part can be preferably longitudinally displaced in two directions to each Verschiebeendposition, wherein the one end position, a tilt adjustment of the railing plate of about -1 ° and the other end position allows a tilt adjustment of about + 1 ° relative to the neutral position.

Depending on whether the sliding part is guided inside or outside the support part, this is longer or shorter than the sliding part. Preferably, however, the sliding part and the supporting part are matched to one another such that the sliding part is guided on at least one side of the railing plate within the support member and not reach the longitudinal direction of the support when reaching the Verschiebeendpositionen, which are predetermined by the end stop formed on the support member or the sliding part surmounted.

In a particularly preferred embodiment, the support member and / or the sliding part is formed in two parts and preferably comprises two particular axisymmetric identical parts, which, when assembled, result in an at least partially U-shaped support part or sliding part.

On the support member preferably the weight of the railing plate receiving horizontal support legs are provided with a support height H. The support legs preferably form the bottom legs of the at least partially U-shaped or L-shaped support member. The supporting height is dimensioned and matched to the height h of a bottom leg of the at least partially U-shaped or L-shaped sliding part, that the sliding part supported in the railing plate receiving railing plate no weight of the railing plate and therefore remains largely load-free longitudinally displaceable. Preferably, such support legs are provided on both sides of the edge of the U-shaped support member, ie either to one side of a preferably axisymmetric equal part, which is joined together with a second common part to form the at least partially U-shaped support member, or on both sides of a one-piece supporting part. Corresponding to the at least one supporting leg on the supporting part, the sliding part preferably has at least one lower-side recess, which receives the at least one support leg on the support member in at least one shift position. The support part and sliding part preferably cooperate in such a way that the support legs on the support part can move into the recess on the sliding part when the sliding part moves in the displacement end positions.

In particular, in an embodiment in which the sliding part is formed in several parts, preferably two parts, it can be provided that the sliding part is not formed by two identical parts, but by two differently shaped, at least in the longitudinal direction of the railing form-fitting interlocking parts. Here, a first part of the multi-part sliding part L-shaped and a second part may be plate-shaped. In this case, the plate-shaped second part of the sliding part at its intended positioning in the railing plate receiving downwardly facing edge with the free edge of the horizontal leg of the L-shaped first part of the sliding part, which preferably engages below the railing plate, seen form fit, at least in the longitudinal direction of the railing engage. Due to the positive engagement of the two parts of the sliding part ensures that one part of the other part entrains when moving. Preferably, a tool attachment for attaching a tool is provided on the plate-shaped second part of the sliding part, so that over this the first part is carried along on the other railing plate side.

On the sliding part, a railing plate that is also accessible when it is used as intended in the railing plate mounting can be designed for a displacement tool. This tool approach is preferably designed such that it is able to cooperate with the same tool, which is also used as a turning tool for a clamping device used. Preferably, one and the same tool is used both as a displacement and as a turning tool. The system therefore has at least one sliding part with a tool attachment and a clamping device with a tool attachment, wherein the tool attachments are formed on the sliding part and on the clamping device such that a tool associated with the system with the identical tool part both as a displacement tool with the provided on the sliding part tool approach as well as a turning tool with the provided on the clamping device tool approach is to bring in accordance with the intended railing plate engaged.

A particularly advantageous embodiment of the inclination adjustment system provides for a clamping force for fixing the railing plate applying clamping device, which is assigned to the support member or the sliding part, that a change in the vertical inclination of the inner bearing side to a corresponding change in the effective in the clamping of the railing orientation of the Clamping surfaces of the clamping device leads. About the support member, which is preferably designed as an immovable carrier part used with railing plate, the clamp can also be fixed to the railing plate recording position, without it comes with a displacement of the sliding part to a displacement of the clamping device. However, it is also conceivable that the clamping device is associated with the sliding part, in particular in a sliding part arranged in, preferably the upper side open receptacle is received, and the clamping device moves with a movement of the sliding part with this.

The above-described idea of a system for holding railing panels, in which an inclination adjustment of the railing plate inclination, located on one side of the railing located inner bearing side of a system component, in particular a support member or a sliding part, leads to that on the other side of the railing plate to be provided clamping surface of a clamping device or a vertical inclination of the clamping surface predetermining support surface of the inclination adjustment of the inner plant side is detached from the possibility described above to implement this basic idea with a relative to a support member longitudinally displaceable sliding part and the resulting decoupling of inner and outer investment site as independent, separately claimable invention considered. A railing panel retention system in which the clamping surface vertical slope of a clamping device to be mounted on the clamping side of the railing panel adjusts to a vertical inclination adjustment of an inner plant side of the railing on the other side of the railing panel can also be achieved without a longitudinally displaceable sliding member, if a first System component that forms the inner bearing side, and a second system component, which forms the support surface, at the vertical inclination, the Klemmflächenvertikalneigung oriented, coupled together or even integrally formed such that the vertical tilt adjustment of the inner plant side also brings a corresponding vertical tilt adjustment of the support surface, where the clamping device is supported.

If the clamping device associated with the support member, this is preferably held in a longitudinal displacement of the sliding member in the longitudinal direction fixed to the support member. For this can be provided in particular, that the clamping device is in engagement with the support member, so that the clamping device is held stationary in a movement of the sliding part in the longitudinal direction of the railing to the support member and thus fixed in the railing plate recording. At the same time, the engagement, insofar as it is made such that it permits pivoting of the effective clamping surfaces of the clamping device together with the change in the vertical inclination of the inner plant side, or the assignment of the clamping device to the sliding part that corresponds to the change in the vertical inclination of the inner plant side also the vertical inclination of the effective clamping surfaces of the clamping device changes. For this purpose, it can be provided, in particular, that the inner contact side is formed by the sliding part and that the part of the sliding part forming the inner contact side is guided on the side of the clamping device facing away from the railing plate behind the clamping device. The clamping device is engaged in such a way behind that transmits at least indirectly to the clamping device in a longitudinal displacement of the sliding part, the change in the vertical inclination of the inner bearing side.

However, it can also be provided that on the side facing away from the railing plate of the clamping device, a guide surface is formed, on which one of the railing plate facing guide surface passes by the sliding part in a sliding of the sliding part. In this case, located on the clamping side of the railing plate (on the side on which the clamping device is arranged) contributing to change the vertical inclination guide surfaces on the side facing the railing plate side of the sliding part and on the railing plate side facing away from the clamping device. On the clamping side of the railing plate thus the clamping device itself forms a support member or, in other words, the clamping device is on the clamping side part of a support member. This embodiment, in which the clamping device itself acts as a support member, is particularly useful when on the side of the railing plate, which is not the clamping side, a first support member is arranged that forms the outer bearing side, and on the clamping side of the railing plate only a holding part is provided, which is adapted to hold the clamping device in the longitudinal direction of the railing stationary when the sliding part is moved to adjust the vertical inclination of the railing plate, without the holding part at the same time forms an inner or outer plant side. An advantageous embodiment provides that the provided on one side of the railing plate first support member is led under the railing plate and forms on the other side of the railing plate, in particular on the clamping side, the holding part. The provided on one side of the railing support member and The holding part provided on the other side of the railing plates can therefore be formed by a single component which engages under the railing plates and preferably at least in sections.

The clamping device may be formed by a simple clamping wedge, which is to be driven into a nip formed between the railing plate and the clamping force supporting the inner surface of the railing plate recording. The component defining the clamping gap on the side of the clamping wedge facing away from the railing plate can in particular be an inner side of the sliding part facing the railing plate, whose vertical inclination coincides with its displacement corresponding to the inclination adjustment of the inner bearing side.

However, the clamping device is preferably formed by a rotary wedge system with a first clamping part and with a second clamping part, which cooperate such that a displacement of the one clamping part relative to the other clamping part from a mounting orientation in a clamping orientation for generating the clamping force, an increase in the effective clamping width of the clamping device causes a clamping member and the other clamping member in the arrangement of the clamping device within the nip to generate the clamping force to rotate relative to each other.

Such a clamping device is in the German utility model application DE 20 2017 105 698 described in detail, the disclosure of which is made with regard to the formation of the clamping device and a twisting tool which can be used for operating the clamping alignment, which can also be used as a displacement tool in view of the invention described here, is the subject of this application.

Basically, it should be noted that on the side of the railing plate on which the clamping device is arranged (clamping side), the order of the arrangement of the between railing plate surface and the inner surface of the railing plate recording is arbitrary. Thus, with the side facing away from the railing plate, the clamping device can also be supported on the inner surface of the railing plate mounting and on the sliding part or the supporting part with the side facing the railing plate. As described above, a design is also conceivable in which the clamping device on the side facing away from the railing plate formed a guide surface which is directly or indirectly with the railing plate facing the guide side of the sliding part in contact and with this a vertical inclination adjustment determining guide surface pairing forms. In particular, when a clamping wedge to be driven in is used as the clamping device, the components used for limiting the clamping gap on both sides are selected such that the clamping gap geometry does not change as a result of the longitudinal displacement of the sliding part.

The plant sides and guide sides of the support part and / or sliding part forming vertical leg preferably have a grid-like structure.

FIG. 1 shows a Ganzglasgeländersystem with a tilt adjustment system for adjusting the vertical tilt of the railing plate 1 in an exploded view. A railing plate 1 is inserted into a railing plate receptacle 2 formed by an extruded bottom profile, the railing plate being under attacked on the underside by a sliding part 3 and a support part 4. To clamp the railing plate 1 in the railing plate holder 2, a clamping device 5 is provided. A tool 6 which can be used for various purposes in the tilt adjustment system shown-both the use as a displacement tool for displacing the sliding part 4 and the use as a turning tool for rotating a clamping part of the clamping device 5 is possible with the same tool when the railing plate is used as intended in the railing plate mounting shown dashed in two different positions.

FIG. 2a shows the support member 4 in a perspective single view and FIG. 2b shows the support member in a directed to the front side front view. The support member 4 has a cross-sectionally at least partially U-shaped structure and has two opposite vertical leg 74 with a lattice-like structure and also forms at its two outer ends in each case a horizontal bottom leg 84, which with its carrying height H ( FIG. 3 ) serves as a support leg for receiving the weight load of the railing plate within the railing plate recording. FIG. 3 illustrates the structure of the support member 4 of two axisymmetric common parts, which can be brought into engagement with each other via mutually corresponding engagement means.

FIG. 4a shows the sliding part 3 in a perspective single view and FIG. 4b shows the sliding part in a directed to the front side front view. The sliding part 3 also has a cross section at least partially U-shaped structure with two vertical legs 73 and a horizontal bottom leg 83. End of the U-shaped structure of the sliding part 3 of the bottom leg 83 is broken by recesses 9, in which when moving the sliding part 3 in the direction of two Verschiebeendpositionen ( FIGS. 7b and 7c ) can retract the support legs of the support member. The resulting contact between the sliding part and the support part forms a neutral center position on both sides ( Figure 7a ) End stops that limit the displacement of the sliding part relative to the support member.

FIG. 5 finally shows the inclination adjustment system including the displacement tool 6 inserted in the provided on the sliding part 3 tool attachment 103 and the already off FIG. 1 apparent clamping device 5, as it can be inserted into the railing plate recording before the intended insertion of the railing plate.

To understand the function of the tilt adjustment system, it is first of all important that the vertical limbs 73 of the sliding part form on the outside and the vertical limbs 74 of the support part 4 form guide surfaces 113 and 114 which mutually correspond to one another. These guide surfaces are helically or helically wound in a corresponding manner to one another with a very high pitch, so that the vertical inclination of the inner sides of the vertical leg 73 of the sliding part 3 when in the railing direction or in the longitudinal direction L (FIG. FIG. 5 ) is moved within the support member 4, changed. The inside of the vertical leg 73 against which the railing plate 1 is pressed during its intended fixation in the railing plate receptacle 2 ( FIGS. 7a-c and Figures 8a-c ), thus forming the inclination of the railing plate 1 predetermining inner bearing side 12 of the inclination adjustment system. At the same time the inclination of the vertical leg 74 of the support member 4 and thus also their outer sides remains unchanged in a displacement of the sliding member within the support member in its vertical tilt. The outer side of the vertical leg 74 of the support member, which is employed under normal use of Neigungsverstellsystems against the inner surface of the railing plate recording thus forms a vertical inclination even when moving the sliding part retaining outer contact side 13 of the tilt adjustment system. Through this interaction of sliding part and support member or their cooperating guide surfaces 113 and 114, a vertical inclination adjustment of facing the railing plate and their vertical inclination predetermining inner bearing side does not affect the vertical inclination of the supported against the railing plate recording outer investment side. The two sides of the plant are decoupled from each other and therefore able to create a full surface against the respective adjacent component regardless of the vertical inclination of the railing plate.

Out FIGS. 2b and 4b it can be seen that the insides of the vertical legs 74 of the support part 4 (FIG. FIG. 2b ) or the outer sides of the vertical leg 73 of the sliding part 3 ( FIG. 4b ) not directed. The in FIG. 2b shown right vertical leg is at the front end, the FIG. 2b shows, above (at the open end of the "U") thinner than below, the left vertical leg is thicker at the top than at the bottom. Due to the helical winding of the guide surfaces formed by the inner side of the vertical leg 74, this difference between the upper and lower end is reversed at the other end of the same support member for the same vertical leg. The same applies in the transferring sense for the in FIG. 4b shown sliding part in which the helical winding of the guide surfaces on the outer sides of the vertical leg 73 takes place.

A substantially similar embodiment is also the in FIGS. 9a and 9b shown sliding part 3 with its vertical legs 73, outer guide surfaces 113 and the inner bearing side 12 and the in FIGS. 10a and 10b shown supporting part 4 with its vertical legs 74, inner guide surfaces 114 and the outer investment side to take.

The usable from this constructive design function is made of the in FIGS. 7a-c and Figures 8a-c shown comparison of different embodiments of the system particularly clear.

In Figure 7a and FIG. 8a The tilt adjustment system is in a neutral or center position, where the vertical inclination of the railing plate is 0 ° to the vertical or 90 ° to the horizontal. The sliding part 3 is arranged centrally relative to the support part 4. If the sliding part is shifted to the right relative to the support part ( FIG. 7b or 8b), the inner abutment side 12 of the sliding part 3 (which in the in FIGS. 7a-c or 8a-c in the left representations, in each case from the left on the railing plate fitting inner side of the sliding part) increasingly to the left (counterclockwise). The same inner abutment side 12 tilts when the sliding part is shifted to the left from the neutral center position (FIG. FIG. 7c or 8c), increasingly to the right (clockwise). The applied by the clamping device 5 in all cases and the railing plate 1 in the recording fixing clamping force is based on the regardless of the vertical inclination of the inner bearing side 12 their vertical inclination retaining outer bearing side 13 from.

Figures 6a-6d show the coming in a preferred embodiment used clamping device 5. In conjunction with FIG. 5 It can be seen that on the clamping device 5 a engaging in the support member 4 serving engagement projection 14 is arranged, by means of which the clamping device 5 at least in the vertical direction on a vertical leg 74 of the support member 4 can be arranged or hung therein. For this purpose, the vertical leg 74 has a receptacle in the form of a recess matched to the engagement projection 14. FIG. 5 shows, as well as otherwise FIGS. 7a-c in that a vertical leg 73 of the sliding part 3 is brought behind the clamping device 5 arranged on the supporting part 4. This has the effect that the inclination adjustment of this vertical leg sliding past the clamping part when the sliding part is longitudinally displaced over the rear side of the clamping device, which bears against the inner side of the vertical leg when the railing plate is fixed in the intended manner, transfers to the front clamping surface of the clamping device. Thus, the tilt adjustment system is able to adapt to the change in the clamping gap geometry associated with the change in the vertical inclination of the railing plate on the side of the clamping device.

This adaptation to the depending on the railing plate inclination changing gap geometry on both sides of the railing plate can also be through the in the Figures 8a-c shown alternative embodiment with a in the FIGS. 9a-b realize sliding part 3 shown. Here, a simple, basically known Einschlagklemmkeil not the support member 4, but assigned to the sliding part 3 and moves with a longitudinal displacement of the sliding part with this. The designed as a simple wedge clamping device is received in a provided in the sliding part clamping wedge mount 15. It is obvious that even with such an arrangement, the inclination adjustment of the vertical leg 73, which is assigned to the clamping wedge, transmits to the clamping wedge and the clamping gap geometry of the clamping gap formed between the railing plate and the sliding part remains unchanged even with an adjustment of the vertical inclination of the railing plate.

FIGS. 6a-d further clarify the operation of the in FIGS. 1 and 5 a clamping device 16 preferably facing disc-shaped first clamping member 16 acts with on its rear surface (the surface facing away from the railing plate) formed wedge surfaces 18 with corresponding wedge surfaces which are formed on the railing plate facing surface of the second clamping member 17, together so that a rotation of the first clamping member relative to the second clamping member causes an increase in the clamping width of the clamping device and thus the application of a clamping force.

FIG. 6a shows that same tool that in FIG. 5 serves as a displacement tool for the sliding part and can be attached to the provided on the sliding part tool attachment 103, can also be attached to the provided on the clamping device 5 tool attachment 105. Both provided on the sliding part tool attachment 103 and provided on the clamping device 5 tool approach 105 can be reached with the tool even when sliding part 3 and clamping device 5 are also arranged in the railing plate recording used in also in the railing plate recording railing intended.

It should be noted that a reverse arrangement than that shown in the figures is conceivable, in which the sliding part is guided on the outside of the support member, the railing plate facing surface of the support member, the inner bearing side and the Gelanderplattenaufnahme-facing outer surface of the sliding part Forms outer plant side.

Such a configuration for at least one side of the railing plate is in the FIGS. 11a to 12c shown, in which case added the peculiarity that on the side of the railing plate, which is not the clamping side, a weight of the railing plate receiving plate carrier is provided as a first support member 4 ', with its the inside of the railing plate receiving outer side facing 13, the outer contact side forms, while a first part 3 'of a multi-part sliding part forms the inner bearing side 12. On this side of the railing plate, the vertical inclination adjustment determining guide surface pairing 114/113 thus formed by the first part 3 'of the multi-part sliding part and acting as a plate support first support member 4'. On the clamping side of the railing plate, however, a second part 3 "of the sliding part forms the outer bearing side 13, while a clamping device 5" acts as a second support part 4 "or while on a second support member 4" a clamping device 5 is formed and the inner bearing side 12 forms The first support part 4 'acts on the clamping side only as a holding part, which secures the clamping device 5 forming second support member 4 "in the longitudinal direction of the railing against displacement and holds within the nip at a defined height. On the clamping side of the railing plate, the vertical inclination adjustment determining guide surface pairing 113/114 thus from the second part 3 "of the multi-part sliding part and a simultaneously acting as a second support member 4" clamping device 5 is formed.

In particular from Figure 11a and Figure 11b it can be seen that to the side of the railing plate, which is not the clamping side, the guide surface pairing 113/114 between the first support part 4 'and the first part 3' of the multi-part sliding part prescribes the inclination adjustment resulting from a displacement of the sliding part 3 '/ The facing guide surfaces 113 on the first part 3 'of the multi-part sliding part and 112 on the first support part 4' slide on one another when the sliding part 3 '/ 3 "is displaced while changing the vertical inclination from. The first part 3 'of the sliding part forms the inner bearing side 12 and the first support part 4' the outer bearing side 13 on the guide side of the first support member 4 'and on the guide side of the first part 3' of the sliding part and also on a horizontally oriented leg of the first, partially L-shaped support member 4 'and on a horizontally oriented leg of the first, partially L-shaped part 3' of the sliding part corresponding guide members (guide 19 and guide extension 20) are formed, which ensure that the displacement of the sliding part 3 ' / 3 "relative to the weight of the railing receiving first support member 4 'is guided and the parts do not tilt against each other.

As in the previously described embodiments, the weight of the railing plate receiving bottom legs 84 are provided on the support member (here on the first support member).

Figure 11a and Figure 11b show further that on the clamping side of the railing plate, ie on the side on which is provided to fix the railing plate to be operated clamping device 5, a second part 3 "of the multi-part sliding part is provided.Other than on the other side of the railing plate this forms the vertical inclination adjustment when moving the sliding part 3 '/ 3 "determining guide surface pairing 113/114 is of the railing plate facing side of the second part 3" of the sliding part and of the railing plate pioneering side of the clamping device 5 is formed. The first support part 4 'on the other side of the railing plate, over which the guide surface 114 is provided there, acts on the clamping side only as a holding part for the second support member 4 "acting clamping device 5, in which it is placed with her trained on her, downwardly open retaining seats 21 on two upstanding retaining projections 22.

Out Figures 11a-b It can also be seen that on the clamping device 5 and formed by the second support member 4 "and on the first support member 4 'corresponding locking members 23' / 23" are provided which act in the vertical direction and ensure that during installation of the railing Clamping device 5 to be inserted into the railing plate receptacle remains held in the nip and, in particular, does not accidentally slip upwards when the clamping device 5 is actuated with a tool. In the embodiment shown in the figures for this purpose on the clamping side acting as a holding part first support member 4 'resiliently recessed locking fingers 23' are provided on the clamping device 5 and on the second support member 4 "provided locking edges 23" put when the clamping device is placed on the holding part.

Figures 12a-c clarify - analogous to the representations in FIGS. 7a-c and Figures 8a-c the mode of operation of the tilt adjustment system based on various positioning of the multi-part sliding part 3 '/ 3 "relative to the first support part 4' or relative to the second support part 4" forming clamping device 5.

In FIG. 12a the sliding part 3 '/ 3 "is in a neutral center position The railing plate 1 is not inclined with respect to the railing plate mounting 2. If the sliding part is turned right into the in FIG. 12b shifted position shown, the railing plate 1, as shown in the left illustration in FIG. 12b visible, counterclockwise to the left. If the sliding part, however, to the left in the FIG. 12c shifted position shown, the railing plate 1, as shown in the left illustration in FIG. 12c seen, clockwise to the right.

In the right representations of the Figures 12a-c In each case, only the first part 3 'of the multi-part sliding part can be seen, in the representations by the railing plate concealed clamping device 5, which is also the second support member 4 ", however, is only in the left representations of Figures 12a-c recognizable. From the overall view of Figures 11a-b and FIGS. 121a-c show that when the sliding part is displaced, the clamping surface facing the railing plate and urging the railing plate against it inclines with the clamping device, so that this clamping surface is always fully and uniformly loaded against the railing plate when the clamping device is actuated 1 comes into contact.

It should be noted that, as well as the embodiment according to Figures 11a-12c shows, it is not absolutely necessary that support member and sliding part are U-shaped.

An adaptation of the inclination adjustment system to a change in the gap geometry resulting from an inclination adjustment of the railing plate, moreover, need not be done on both sides of the railing plate. It may be sufficient to provide this on one side of the railing plate. On the side of the railing plate in which a clamping device is used (clamping side), it is then preferred to use a clamping device that compensates for the change in the gap geometry.

It should also be noted that the inner bearing side does not necessarily have to be directly in direct contact with the railing plate and the outer bearing side directly with an inner lateral support surface of the railing plate recording in contact. System components may also be arranged between the inner contact side and railing plate and / or between the outer contact side and the inner lateral support surface of the railing plate receptacle, for example soft plastic or rubber protective inserts or similar intermediate parts which define the gap between the inner contact side and the railing plate surface or between the outer contact side and the inner side Bridge the support surface of the railing plate support.

The above description of various embodiments further shows that if a vertical tilt adjustment determining guide surface pairing is provided on both sides of the railing plate, this guide surface pairing on the clamp side of the railing plate can be provided by other components than on the other side of the railing plate.
