Definitions
- the invention relates to a spacer for keeping free a wall connection-side joint, as this is about when laying a rigid floor covering, is used, for example, when laying a laminate floor.
- Cuboid spacers are used to form such a spacer joint. These have a thickness that corresponds to the width of the joint to be created. Typically, the desired joint width is 10 mm or 15 mm. These slab-like spacers are placed on the bottom side with their narrow side. Subsequently, a panel of the floor covering, for example a laminate panel, is placed in front of these spacers. Thus, the floor covering is laid on the bottom side while maintaining a distance gap in the material thickness of the spacer. After laying the floor, the spacers are pulled out of the gap joint.
- a spacer for keeping a gap on the wall connection side for example when laying a rigid floor covering, comprising a spacer element with a thickness corresponding to the width of the gap to be kept clear, and a fold angle with a strip-like tongue limb and with one at one end the flipper leg connected thereto and projecting from the Flalteschen- kel of flattening shaft, wherein in the spacer a extending in the direction of their fleas bore is introduced, in which engages the holding teschaft.
- This spacer has a spacer whose thickness corresponds to the width of the clearance gap to be kept clear.
- the spacer has a fold angle.
- the fold angle itself comprises a strip-shaped flattening leg and a flattening shaft connected thereto and projecting from the flattening leg.
- the spacer element is mounted on the shank which, for this purpose, has a bore or shank receiving in the direction of its fleas. Spacer element and flange angle are detachable according to an embodiment.
- the flipper leg of the crease angle is brought into a direction directed away from the planar extension of the spacer element, so that the longitudinal axis of the crease leg of the cusp angle forms an angle with the longitudinal extension of the spacer element.
- the spacer is typically plate-shaped. Such an element is cuboid or approximately cuboid.
- the longitudinal extension of the spacer is in the execution of the same as a spacer plate longer than the width of the FHalt teschenkels.
- the flat limb is set up in relation to the flattening plate for setting up the spacer so that its longitudinal extent encloses an angle of approximately 90 degrees with the longitudinal extent of the spacer plate.
- the spacer plate of this spacer can be set up without fear must also fall over on uneven floors or soft underlays. If the spacer is used for floor laying, the bracket for the spacer plate or the spacer forms a base. Since the spacer joint is regularly formed into a wall, the spacer plate is secured against overturning in the direction away from the retaining limb through the wall.
- the spacer plate With this spacer, it is easy to set up a gap joint of a rigid floor covering to a wall. If the floor covering is laid, depending on the configuration of the spacer, the spacer plate can be pulled off the retaining shank of the mounting bracket. The bracket itself is also pulled out of the spacer joint by turning it, at which rotational movement its holder arm is brought out of its position engaging under the floor covering.
- the retaining shaft has a rotational engagement contour, in particular an outer rotational contour, on its upper-side free end section. This can be designed differently depending on the design of the spacer.
- this rotary driving contour is designed as an outer polygon contour, for example as a hexagonal contour. In many cases, such a contour would be sufficient to turn the bracket about the axis of its support shaft for pivoting the retaining leg can.
- a rotary driving contour that is complementary to the rotational engagement contour of the retaining shaft to be introduced into a narrow side of the spacer plate or of the spacer element. Then, the distance element previously removed from the holding shaft can be used as a tool for pivoting the holding angle.
- the bore introduced into the spacer element for receiving the retaining shaft engages through the spacer plate in the direction of its height and that the retaining shaft protrudes with its free end section out of this bore when the spacer plate rests on the retaining shaft is attached.
- this free End portion is angled or that at this free end portion, an adjusting handle, which may be formed like the holding leg strip-shaped, formed or attached thereto.
- the spacer plate is typically no longer separable from the bracket. In such a spacer one will interpret the adjusting handle so that it protrudes in the same direction from the support shaft, as the holding leg. At the same time, this adjusting handle then represents an indication of the direction in which the holding leg under the floor covering is currently aligned.
- the spacer element which is typically designed as a spacer plate itself, can be designed with a uniform material thickness and thus with two mutually parallel spacer surfaces, one of which abuts against the wall and the opposite on the front side of the rigid floor covering. It is also entirely possible to design the spacer plate, the thickness of which is wedge-shaped, or a design in which the spacer plate has two thicknesses, wherein a first material thickness is provided in a lower portion and a second material strength in an upper portion. The two different material thicknesses will be provided depending on two desired gap widths. If such a spacer plate provided, this is releasably attachable to the support shaft of the bracket.
- the spacer plate with one material thickness or with the other material thickness as the lower portion will be attached to the support shaft.
- Such a design of the spacer plate is expedient, since not different spacers must then be used for setting up spacer joints in two different ways, but the selection of the width of the spacer joint is effected by the orientation of the attachment of the spacer plate to the retaining shank of the retaining bracket.
- the strip-shaped holding leg then serves to grip behind an object held on the cover side so that it also forms a suspension hook for the spacer.
- the spacer element is connected to the bracket in such a manner so that the spacer plate does not slip from the support shaft of the bracket when it engages behind a cover-side member with its retaining leg and the support shaft is directed downward ,
- the spacing element of such a spacer can be made of quasi-arbitrary material as long as it has the necessary spacing properties. Typically, this will be made as a plastic part.
- the bracket can also be a plastic part. In many cases, however, one will prefer a design of the bracket as metal part.
- FIG. 1 E in a spacer according to a first embodiment of the invention, 2 shows a sectional view of the spacer of FIG. 1, arranged on a bottom-side wall connection, FIG. 3 shows a longitudinal section in the planar extension of a spacer plate of a further spacer and FIG
- Fig. 4 is a partially sectioned perspective view of another spacer according to the invention.
- a spacer 1 is used to keep a wall connection side gap in connection with the laying of a rigid floor covering.
- the spacer 1 comprises a cuboid spacer plate 2 as a spacer element, which in the illustrated embodiment is a block-shaped plastic block.
- the width of the spacer plate 2 corresponds to the width of the clearance gap of a rigid floor covering to be kept clear against a wall.
- the width of the spacer plate shown in FIG. 1 is 15 mm.
- the spacer 1 is further associated with a folding angle 3, of which only its tip leg 4 can be seen on account of the perspective view selected in FIG.
- the Flalteschenkel 4 is strip-shaped and has a thickness of about 2 mm.
- the flat leg is a sheet steel part.
- the thickness of the flattened leg can also have a different dimension; in particular, the flattening leg 4 can only have a smaller thickness.
- the Flalteschenkel 4 engages under the application of the spacer 1 in the laying of a rigid floor covering, such as a laminate, the marginal laminate panel.
- a flattening shank 5 is formed on the flattening leg 4 of the flap angle 3.
- the flattening shank 5 is designed as a hexagonal shank in the illustrated embodiment.
- Figure 2 shows the spacer 1 in a sectional view, in which this is used to keep a spacer gap.
- the Flalteschenkel 4 of the folding angle 3 is located on the floor 6.
- the spacer plate 2 has an introduced into its lower longitudinal narrow side hole 7 and is placed with this on the Flalteschaft 5.
- the spacer plate 2 is supported on the back of a wall 8 adjoining the bottom 6, against which the gap joint is to be kept free.
- the spacer 1 can not fall over due to the retaining limb 4 of its retaining angle 3 protruding from the planar extent of the spacer plate 3.
- a laminate panel 9 is then placed on the retaining limb 4 and pushed with its end face pointing to the wall 8 against the relevant surface of the spacer plate 2. Due to its safe uprising, this process also does not present the danger that the spacer 1 will not remain in position and tip over.
- the bracket 3 can then be pivoted about the longitudinal axis of its support shaft 5 to unscrew the holding leg 4 from its position under the laminate panel 9, until it is aligned with its longitudinal axis approximately with the longitudinal axis of the spacer plate 2 , Then the bracket 3 can be pulled out of the joint. For this reason, the width of the retaining leg 4 is smaller than the distance gap to be established.
- FIG. 3 shows, in a section within its longitudinal plane, a further spacer plate 2.1.
- This is in principle constructed as the spacer plate 2, but differs from this in that the bore 7.1 engages the spacer plate 2.1 overall.
- the spacer plate 2.1 has a parallel to a narrow-side conclusion, the spacer plate 2.1 overall sweeping contour 10, which is formed as mecanicello- kantkontur, namely complementary to the hexagonal contour of the support shaft 5 of the bracket 3.
- the contour 10 on attached to the upper portion of the support shaft 5 and the distance plate 2.1 are used as a tool for pivoting out of the retaining leg 4 from its position engaging under the laminate panel 9 position.
- spacer plate 2.1 may also be part of the spacer plate 2 of Figure 1.
- the spacer plate 2.1 can be attached to the holding shaft 5 of the bracket 3 due to the sweeping hole 7.1 with two longitudinal narrow sides facing down.
- the clear width of the bore 7 or 7.1 is matched to the outer circumferential outer surface of the holding shaft 5, so that a certain play between these two elements remains.
- FIG. 4 shows a further exemplary embodiment of a spacer 1.1.
- the spacer 1.1 has a spacer plate 2.1, as described above with reference to FIG.
- the holding angle 3.1 of the spacer 1.1 differs from the holding angle 3 of the embodiment of FIGS. 1 and 2 in that its holding shaft 5.1 engages through the bore 7.1 as a whole and that on the free section projecting out of the spacer plate 2.1 an adjusting handle 11 is attached.
- the adjusting handle 11 projects from the holding shaft 5.1 in the same direction as the holding leg 4.1. In this way, based on the position of the actuating handle 11, the direction can be recognized, in which the holding leg 4.1 engages on it resting on a floor covering.
- the holding leg 4.1 is also pivoted. It is understood that for this purpose, the adjusting handle 11 and the retaining leg 4.1 are rotatably connected to the support shaft 5.1.
