Abstract

Proposed is a support profile (30) having a first profile leg (24) and a second profile leg (32) and a Tragprofilsohle (38) for supporting a plate member (36), wherein the support profile (30) has at least one tilting element (10) at least one profile leg (24, 32) is arranged.

Description

The invention relates to a support profile with a tilting element for adjusting the inclination of plate elements.

State of the art

Railing panels are known, especially for all-glass railings, which are largely free and only in the foot area, i. held at the lower edge, in an anchored to a structural part U-shaped retaining profile and clamped in this. In the U-shaped retaining profile, the heavy glass plates are firmly anchored so that they can reliably absorb the loads acting on the glass plates and transferred to the building, so as to meet the requirements, for example, as a fall protection.

In particular, in the assembly of the individual railing panels, which are to be arranged side by side, they must be aligned so that results in the over a longer distance extending railing with its individual juxtaposed individual railing panels in the assembled state, a flat surface training. The problem is that the building parts, where the U-shaped retaining profiles are to be arranged, may have a different vertically inclined or corrugated surface over the length, so that an assembly is difficult.

The EP 1 277 894 A2 discloses a clamped railing in which a disk-shaped filling is clamped in a lower edge portion in a U-shaped support body in which between the inside of a lateral web and the disk-shaped filling a pair of wedge-shaped body with adjoining adjustable bevels is arranged. The disk-shaped filling is held pressed between the pair of wedge-shaped body on the web and another second web pressed. The clamping force with which the disk-shaped filling is held, can be adjusted by a displacement of the two wedge-shaped body against each other. The clamping force is defined by an adjusting screw that adjusts one of the wedge-shaped bodies against the other.

A disadvantage of the said prior art is that by the in the EP 1 277 894 Although disclosed wedge combination although an adjustment of the clamping force, but not an angular adjustment of the disc-shaped filling is disclosed. In addition, the wedges described are shifted during insertion in the direction of the underside of the support body and slip ever further down. The deeper these wedges are moved downwards within the supporting body, the more unstable the holder of the disk-shaped filling becomes.

The object of the invention is therefore to provide an angle adjustability for a plate, in particular a railing plate available.

Disclosure of the invention

According to the invention this object is achieved by a support profile with a tilting element for adjusting the inclination of plate elements according to claim 1. Advantageous embodiments, details and features of the invention will become apparent from the subclaims and from the following description of the embodiments according to the invention in conjunction with the drawings of the inventive solution.

Disclosed is a support profile with a first profile leg and a second profile leg and a support profile sole for holding a plate member, wherein the support profile has at least one tilting element which is arranged on at least one profile leg.

The tilting element is designed to be arranged in the carrier profile for a plate element for the angle adjustment of the plate element. This tilting element is arranged on at least one profile limb of a support profile at its upper end on the inside of the profile limb. Within the supporting profile, a plate element is arranged between the tilting element and the other profile limb, which may likewise have a tilting element. The plate member may as a glass, but also from other materials such as wood, plastic, metal or the like. be educated. Said plate element should be kept clamped by the profile legs of the support profile. The tilting element is thus arranged between the profile limb and the plate element. This allows both adjust the inclination and fix the plate member. The tilting element has an end, can be applied to the force for tilting, and a pivot point at which the tilting element is fixed to the profile leg or a mounting device. The free end may be engaged in detents until the force of a screw member acts on it and tilts the tilt member from its initial position.

The plate member for a glass whole railing a railing or facade construction or the like. is used in the support profile and is initially oriented obliquely for assembly reasons of the vertical deviating. The Plate element is to be held in the foot region of the support profile clamped in about vertical or a desired deviating angular position after the alignment between the two profile legs of the support profile. Between the support profile and the plate element, a profile shoe formed of flexible material is arranged at least in areas. This profile shoe can for example be arranged only in a lower region of the support profile.

The tilting element can have different shapes. It is wedge-shaped and may have a trapezoidal, a rounded teardrop shape, a thicker or thinner formation pointing towards the pressure region on the plate element, and straight surfaces or bevels for engaging the screw elements. It can be selected narrow designs for the tilting element, so that the space requirement within the support profile between the respective leg and the plate member is not very large. The wedge tip of the tilting element can point in the direction of the support profile down to the profile floor or up to the opening. The tilting element has no edges that could be disturbing when introducing the plate member. If long designs are selected, a fine adjustment and a well-defined adjustment of the plate elements is possible, especially with very high plate elements to be clamped.

The tilting element can be arranged on one or both profile limbs, in each case on the inside thereof. If the tilting element is arranged only on one profile limb, the other profile limb has a fixed pressure element. The tilting element is arranged in a region of the profile limb pointing downwards to the profile sole of the carrier profile, for example in a groove of the profile limb, so that it can perform a rotational or tilting movement in the direction away from the profile limb and towards the plate element and thereby be movable or tiltable is stored. Thus, the tilting element has in its lower support on a pivot point about which it can be tilted when the force application of an attacking from above screw member. The pivot point is thus arranged either in at least one leg or in at least one mounting element. Due to the arrangement of the tilting element on the lower support is the point of attack, so the pressure area on the plate element, exactly defined. The pressure range thus remains in the upper range. Therefore, no shortening of the clamping can occur more.

The tilting element can therefore be clipped on or clipped in order to be able to execute its tilting movement. Due to the tilting movement of the tilting element, the desired position can be secured with the selected inclination of the plate element and the plate element can be clamped. The tilting element can also be inserted after the insertion of the plate element from the side and then tilted.

It is thus disclosed a way to effect an adjustment by openings or holes for screw in the support section are introduced at both profile limbs respectively at the upper edge, wherein the screw elements serve to tilt the tilting elements. The attachment of the holes can be done both from their upper tip ago as well as from the respective side from the outside. These holes can be straight or oblique. This depends on the geometric shape of the tilting element and on the surface on which the introduced into the bore screw element attack. It is thus a point of application of the screw on the tilting element on straight and bevelled surfaces possible.

The profile legs may have different shapes, so be formed the same thickness throughout or be thicker, for example, in the lower region, thinner in the upper region. The openings, in particular bores, preferably have a thread. Therein, the screw can be arranged.

By the screw and its force application to the tilting element, the desired Winkeleinstellbarkeit can be achieved. The screw is designed in particular as a grub screw. This screw acts on the tilting element to be arranged for adjusting the inclination of the glass sheet, which is acted upon by the arrangement of the screw and in particular the insertion or screwing depth of the screw element to different degrees. Depending on the screwing depth of the screw element, the tilting element is thereby moved in the direction of the plate element and thus presses on the plate element, so that this can be adjusted in its vertical inclination.

The screw can attack in the profiled legs of the support profile from above and / or from the side.

The tilting element can be designed so that it is arranged in a mounting element such as a mounting element and the entire mounting element can be used in the respective profile leg of the support profile, or can be used as a single tilting element in the trained aluminum or aluminum alloy profile leg. Depending on the arrangement of the support profile, the angle adjustability of the vertical or horizontal inclination of the plate element can be made.

The tilting element according to the invention has the advantage that by the force application by screwing the screw with the leverage of the tilting element a precise fine adjustment of the plate member can be made. This allows greater ease of installation through the appropriate structural design of the support profile for screwing in combination with the action of the tilting element and a considerable time savings during assembly.

In Fig. 1 a tilting element 10 is shown. The tilting element 10 is clipped into a mounting element 12 and has a trapezoidal shape. The mounting member 12 has for clipping a locking projection 14 and the tilting member 10 a nose 16. The nose 16 is held by the latching projection 14. The tilting element 10 is held at a pivot point 18 in the mounting element. At an upper projection of the mounting member 12, a screw 20 is arranged. The screw 20 is guided in a straight bore 26. The screw 20 can be brought up to the inclined surface 22 of the tilting element 10. The mounting member 12 with the tilting member 10 disposed therein is disposed on a first profile leg 24 of a support profile, which is shown here in fragmentary form.

Fig. 2 shows the tilting element 10 in an elongated shape with a teardrop-shaped rounding in the region of the pivot point 18. The tilting element 10 is also engaged with its nose 16 'in a locking projection 14' of the correspondingly shaped profile leg 24 or clipped. The tilting element 10 is arranged directly on the first profile leg 24 in this embodiment.

Fig. 3 shows a portion of a first profile leg 24 with a just introduced bore 26 into which the screw 20 is inserted. The screw 20 abuts against the inclined surface 22 in the head region of the tilting element 10. The tilting element 10 tapers from bottom to top.

Fig. 13 shows a down round drop-shaped tipping element 10th

Fig. 14 represents a support section 30 with the first profile leg 24 and the second profile leg 32. The support section 30 is U-shaped. It is arranged a mounting member 12 with a tilting member 10 on the first profile leg 24. A screw 20 is screwed in the upper region of the mounting member 12 and points in the direction of the tilting element 10th

Fig. 15 represents a profile shoe 30 introduced in the profile shoe 34. The profile shoe is formed over the entire surface of the second profile leg 32 to the top of the support profile 30.

Fig. 16 shows an introduced plate member 36 which rests on the side of the second profile leg 32 directly on the profile shoe 34 on the entire longitudinal extent and in the lower region of the support profile 30, the support profile sole 38, rests. The tilting element 10 is further engaged in the mounting element 12. The screw 20 still has a certain distance from the tilting element 10.

Fig. 17 represents a further screwed screw 20. The screw 20 presses on the surface 22 of the tilting element 10, which is thereby pushed out or clipped out of its upper holder. Thus, the tilting element 10 is tilted about its pivot point 18 and brought up to the plate element 36. There it comes in contact with the plate member 36 at the printing area 40. Thus, by the screwing of the screw 20, a force application to the tilting element 10 and thereby further generated on the plate member 36.

In Fig. 18 the desired vertical positioning of the plate element 36 is achieved. The tilting element 10 is in the desired tilted position by the screwing depth of the screw 20 and thus keeps the plate member 36 is clamped in this position. In the upper region sealing elements 42 are arranged.

Fig. 19 shows an F-shaped support section 30 with the first profile leg 24 and the second profile leg 32. At both profile legs 24, 32 each have a mounting member 12 is engaged. In each mounting member 12, a tilting element 10 is engaged. On the first profile leg 24, the tilting element 10 and the second profile leg 32, the tilting element 10 'with the respective mounting member 12 is arranged. In each mounting member 12, an oblique bore 28 is introduced.

Fig. 20 shows the screw 20, which is to be introduced into the oblique bore 28.

In Fig. 21 two screw elements 20 are respectively screwed into their corresponding oblique bore 28 and are located on the surfaces 22 of the respective tilting elements 10, 10 '.

Fig. 22 shows how the plate member 36 within the first profile leg 24 and the second profile leg 32 and the two tilting elements 10 is used. The plate element 36 sits in the region of the support profile sole 38 on the support profile shoe 34. The profile shoe 34 is formed in this embodiment as a small support profile shoe 34 which surrounds the lower portion of the plate member 36.

In Fig. 23 the two screw 20 are further screwed and thus press on the surfaces 22 of the tilting elements 10, 10 ', so that they are clipped by the force application and tilted about its pivot point so that they rest against the plate member 36 and mutually by a force on the Plate elements 36 is applied, by which the inclination of the plate member 36 is variable.

In Fig. 24 It is shown how the trained in trapezoidal tilting element 10 is further tilted by the pressure of the screw 20 about its pivot point 18 and pressed against the plate member 36. Since the screw 20 is further screwed on the first profile leg 24 as the screw 20 on the second profile leg 32, the force applied to the plate member 36 on the pressure portion 40 on the side of the first profile leg 24 force is greater than that on the opposite side. Therefore, the inclination of the plate member 36 is adjusted in the direction of the second profile leg 32 out in its angular range.

All in the description, the following claims and the drawings illustrated features may be essential to the invention both individually and in any combination.
