Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a fastening system.
  • the present invention relates to a fastening system that includes a strip body and a suspension module that is hung in the strip body, with a position of the suspension module relative to the strip body being laterally displaceable and the fastening system increasing security against the suspension module falling and injuries when being moved or moved of the suspension module.
  • the present invention serves to eliminate the above disadvantages without impairing the functionality of the hanging system too much.
  • the present invention provides a fastening system that includes an elongate strip body and at least one hanging module.
  • the slat body has a cross-section perpendicular to a longitudinal axis L, the slat body in this cross-section comprising a height a1 and a depth a2, each perpendicular to the longitudinal axis L of the elongate slat body.
  • the cross-section of the strip body also has a substantially circular-arc-shaped groove on the upper side of the strip body.
  • the hooking module includes a hooking head that fits into the arcuate groove at the top of the bar body.
  • the suspension module is adapted to be hung by placing the suspension head on the groove of the strip body and then pivoting the suspension module about a pivot axis S relative to the strip body by an angle ⁇ of at least 10°, preferably at least 15° and particularly preferably at least 20° and to be detached again from the strip body only by appropriate pivoting in the reverse direction.
  • the suspension module has a module cross section which corresponds to the cutting direction of the cross section perpendicular to the longitudinal axis L of the strip body, with the suspension module having a recess in the module cross section with dimensions which essentially correspond to the height al and the depth a2 of the bar body.
  • the ratio a1/a2 is at most 5, preferably at most 3, and further preferably at least 1, particularly preferably at least 1.5.
  • the recess in the module cross section of the suspension module is delimited by a first blocking section, which is preferably connected in one piece to the suspension head and extends from one side of this in a direction parallel to the depth direction of the depth a2 of the strip body, a second blocking section , which is preferably integrally connected to the first locking portion and extends away from one side of the first locking portion in a direction parallel to the height direction of the height al of the strip body, and a third locking portion, which is preferably integrally connected to the second locking portion and extends from a Extends side of the second locking portion in a direction parallel to the depth direction of the depth a2 of the bar body away.
  • the hooking head and the first to third locking portions enclose three sides of the bar body, and the hooking head engages with the groove of the bar body. It is therefore only possible to attach or detach the suspension module from the strip body by pivoting the suspension module by the angle ⁇ relative to the strip body, which further increases the security of the fastening system.
  • the suspension module also comprises a support section in the module cross section, which is preferably connected in one piece to the third locking section and extends away from one side of the third locking section in a direction parallel to the vertical direction of the height al of the strip body.
  • the support section can be used to take up a load on the suspension module. Due to the arrangement below the locking sections, the center of gravity of the system made up of suspension module and load for the fastening system is shifted downwards, which increases the stability of the system.
  • the support section is 1-10% shorter in the direction of the depth a2 of the strip body than the depth a2 of the strip body. This difference in length prevents the support section, in the suspended state, from extending beyond a mounting plane of the strip body on the side facing away from the suspension module protrudes. This can prevent the support portion from hitting a mounting surface such as a wall on which the rail body is mounted.
  • the shape of the cross section of the strip body is essentially the same over the entire length of the strip body.
  • the suspension module can be suspended at any position along the longitudinal axis L of the strip body.
  • the strip body also includes at least one functional area that performs at least one function selected from the group consisting of power supply, power connection pins, pin board, screen display, LED lighting, time, radio, loudspeaker, picture rail, key hook, key board and magnet or a combination of these.
  • the functional areas can be implemented through additional bores, recesses and/or grooves in the body of the last and through corresponding functional inlays.
  • the suspension module is designed in such a way that it also provides at least one function selected from the group consisting of a shelf with one or more shelves, a shelf system, a coat rack, a hook, a lamp, a shoe rack, a shelf, a holder, a key board, a mirror , pinboard, whiteboard, flower pot holder, table and cabinet or a combination of these.
  • Such functions can increase the flexibility and functionality of the fastening system.
  • the strip body is designed for fastening to a wall, preferably by screwing it to the wall.
  • Wall mounting is particularly preferred, since in this way the tipping loads on the strip body can be effectively absorbed and dissipated.
  • the minimum pivoting angle is ⁇ , which is required for hanging or unhooking the suspension module from the strip body becomes at most 45°, preferably at most 35°.
  • a radius of curvature of the arcuate groove of the strip body is at least 3 mm and at most 30 mm, preferably at least 5 mm and at most 25 mm and particularly preferably at least 8 mm and at most 20 mm. These radii allow easy cleaning of the strip body and also reduce the risk of injury from cuts or pinching during the installation of the suspension module.
  • a central angle of the arcuate groove of the strip body is at least 2 ⁇ and at most 6 ⁇ , preferably at least 3 ⁇ and at most 5 ⁇ .
  • the suspension head of the suspension module comprises, in the module cross section, a circular arc-shaped section whose radius of curvature essentially corresponds to a radius of curvature of the circular arc-shaped groove of the strip body. This correspondence of the radii of curvature reduces the risk of damage, such as scratches, while swiveling in and out when loosening or hanging in the suspension module.
  • a central angle of the arcuate section of the suspension head is at least 4 ⁇ and at most 18 ⁇ , preferably at least 6 ⁇ and at most 14 ⁇ .
  • a1 is from 40 to 120 mm, preferably from 55 to 90 mm, a2 from 10 to 45 mm, preferably from 20 to 35 mm, a central angle of the arcuate groove of the strip body is at least 45° and at most 180°, preferably at least 60° and at most 120°, more preferably at least 70° and at most 100°, and/or the central angle of the arcuate section of the hanging head of the strip body is at least 45° and at most 360°, preferably at least 75° and at most 280° and particularly preferably at least 90° and at most 220°.
  • a preferred material of the strip body is wood or plastic, in particular solid wood or a multiplex panel with layers parallel to the height a1 and the longitudinal axis L of the strip body.
  • the suspension module is preferably constructed from a plastic, a metal alloy, wood or a composite material from these groups of materials. Any existing edges may be rounded to avoid injury and facilitate cleaning.
  • the present invention is also directed to an assembly method or use of the fastening system described above in all of its embodiments.
  • FIG. 1 1 is a cross-sectional view of a fastening system according to an embodiment of the disclosure.
  • Figure 2A 12 is a perspective view of a fastening system according to an embodiment of the disclosure in the mounted state.
  • Figure 2B 12 is a perspective view of the fastening system of FIG Figure 2A , which involves an unmounting process or unmounting ( Figure 2B lower arrow) and move operation ( Figure 2B arrows left and right).
  • the fastening system 1 comprises a strip body 10 and a suspension module 20.
  • the suspension module is able to be hung in the position in the upper region, which essentially corresponds in shape and dimensions to the cross section of the strip body 10 Bar body to be hung, wherein a suspension head of the suspension module 20 engages in a groove of the bar body.
  • the hanging head is provided with a circular arc-round section that fits into the circular arc-round recess of the strip body and whose radius also preferably corresponds.
  • the last body is 10 in 1 mounted on a wall 2, preferably screwed.
  • the strip body may alternatively be attached to a rack or the like.
  • the suspension module can only be detached or attached by prior application at an angle (also called “pivoting” here, see the lower arrow in Figure 2B ) of the suspension module 20 at an angle ⁇ to the strip body 10 is possible.
  • the corresponding pivot axis S is in Figures 4-7 shown and runs parallel to the longitudinal axis L of the strip body.
  • is preferably at least 10°, preferably 15°, particularly preferably 20°, in order to avoid unintentional detachment of the suspension module, for example by being knocked against from below.
  • the angular amount of ⁇ can essentially be defined via the dimensions of the strip body, which is described further below.
  • the suspension module is designed as a shelf with an intermediate shelf.
  • a lateral shift (arrows left/right in Figure 2B ) may already be possible before the minimum pivoting angle ⁇ is reached, which can be done, for example, by means of appropriate rubber stoppers (not shown) on the suspension module, preferably on the second or third blocking section (see description of the 4 ) can be reached.
  • 3 12 is a cross-sectional view of a gill body 10 according to an embodiment of the disclosure.
  • the cut surface is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis L of the strip body 10, see Figures 2A and 2B .
  • the suspension module (not shown) is aligned with the strip body 10 from the left in 3 mounted.
  • the right side of the illustration remains free, for example for wall mounting.
  • the strip body has a height al and a depth a2.
  • the groove 12 is shown on the upper side of the strip body 10 . In 3 a midpoint of the central angle of the groove 12 is slight from the center (in relation to the height direction) of the strip body in the direction of the mounting surface, i.e. in 3 to the right, representing a preferred embodiment of the disclosure.
  • the necessary pivoting angle ⁇ is increased compared to an exactly central arrangement of the groove 12, since the suspension module (not shown) later pivots out of the lower left corner of the strip body 10 shown.
  • the corresponding radius of the hanging head is adapted to this displacement of the groove 12, for example cut straight on one side (in cross section) to prevent the hanging head from hitting a wall (number 2 in 1 ) to avoid.
  • the groove can also be shifted to the right-hand side, that is to say the assembly side, of the strip body 10 .
  • the present invention is not limited to the exact position of the groove 12 and desired minimum angles ⁇ can also be set by the ratio al/a2 of the strip body 10 (and the corresponding recess of the suspension module) or the size of the suspension head (not shown) of the suspension module . More on this is provided below with reference to 7 described.
  • the suspension module 20 is formed by a bent strip, preferably made of metal material or a composite material and also preferably in one piece, and comprises a suspension head 22, a first locking section 24, a second locking section 26, a third locking section 28, a support section 29 and a Support section 30.
  • the attachment head 22 is designed as an end of the bent metal strip that is bent inwards (in the direction of the recess for the strip body).
  • the hanging head can be formed by rounding (bending outward again) this end into a curve that engages the channel of the strip body (not shown).
  • the first, second, and third locking sections 24, 26, 28 delimit with the hanging head 22 the recess for the strip body (not shown), so that the strip body including the groove, apart from a certain play of approx. 0.5 - 5 mm depending on the manufacturing tolerance, fits exactly into the recess. Accordingly, the distance in the depth direction (along an axis parallel to the depth a2 of the body of the strip, 3 ) between the point of contact (with the strip body) of the hanging head 22 and the second locking section 26 is bridged by the first locking section 24 and corresponds to the distance in the depth direction between the deepest point of the groove and the outside of the strip body (left surface in 3 ).
  • the distance in the height direction (along an axis parallel to the height al of the bar body, 3 , i.e. "top-bottom” in 4 ) between the point of contact of the suspension head 22 and the third locking section 28 is essentially bridged by the second locking section 26 and corresponds to the height al of the strip body.
  • the three locking sections 24, 26 and 28 thus enclose the strip on three sides and removing it without pivoting the suspension module through the minimum angle ⁇ is prevented by the fact that the hanging head and the locking sections are on the opposite sides of the strip body, its groove and the corners of the bar body.
  • the support section can be designed in such a way that it can be connected to a mounting surface of the strip body (e.g. the wall 2 in 1 ) comes into contact and thus, in addition to the contact between the second support section 26 and the strip body, a pivoting of the suspension module 20 in the angle ⁇ ( 1 ) opposite direction prevented.
  • a pivoting of the suspension module 20 in the angle ⁇ ( 1 ) opposite direction prevented.
  • such contact of the support section 29 can be prevented by shortening the third locking section 28, for example to prevent damage to a mounting surface when shifting laterally (see arrows in Figure 2B ) of the hanging module.
  • Another important function of the support section 29 is that it absorbs a load applied to the suspension module 20 , for example a weight (not shown) which is suspended from the hook-shaped carrier section 30 .
  • the center of gravity of the system made up of suspension module and load is therefore shifted downwards, which leads to the fact that the load at the point of contact between the suspension head 22 and the groove of the strip body is shifted to a vertical direction, more corresponding to gravity, and away from a horizontal load, ie in the depth direction.
  • a more vertical load on the groove of the strip body is preferred, as this avoids levering out of a fastening on a mounting surface, for example a screw connection on a wall.
  • figure 5 12 is a perspective view of a hanger module 20 according to an embodiment of the disclosure.
  • figure 5 is one of 4 Similar suspension module 20 shown, with a width of the curved strip compared to 4 is enlarged.
  • the carrier section 30 itself forms a kind of storage area for objects.
  • the pivot axis S is shown, about which the suspension module 20 must be pivoted at least by the angle ⁇ in order to hang the suspension module 20 in the strip body (not shown).
  • 6 12 is a perspective view of a hanger module 20 according to an embodiment of the disclosure.
  • the hooking head 22 first through third locking sections, support section and carrier section (24, 26 and 28-30 in 4 ) is not formed by a bent stiffener, but by two notches in a flat strip of material (e.g. by stamping, laser cutting, plasma cutting or waterjet cutting from a sheet of metal) and then bending the stiffener into a U-shape.
  • the U-shape is bridged with an additional carrier section 32 .
  • the present disclosure is not limited to the embodiments of Figures 4-6 limited and alternative configurations and additional functions of the hanger module should be construed as encompassed within the invention.
  • the hanging module can be designed so that it also has at least one function selected from the group consisting of a shelf with one or more shelves, wardrobe, lamp, shoe rack, key board, mirror, pin board, flower pot holder and cabinet or a combination from these provides. the
  • the invention is not limited to these functions. All that is important for the present invention is the interaction between the strip body and the recess of the suspension module, which is described above and below.
  • 7 1 is a cross-sectional view of a fastening system according to an embodiment of the disclosure.
  • the bar body 10 of 7 corresponds to the 3 and detailed descriptions of the strip body 10 are not repeated here.
  • the hanging module 20 in 7 corresponds to the embodiment of 6 , with the features and dimensions in 4 have been described. These descriptions are not repeated here either.
  • In 7 describes in particular a relationship between the minimum pivoting angle ⁇ and the dimensions a1 and a2 of the strip body 10 and the dimensions of the recess of the suspension module 20 corresponding to these dimensions a1 and a2.
  • the dimensions a1 and a2 can therefore be calculated from the desired minimum pivoting angle ⁇ .
  • Values for ⁇ of at least 10°, preferably at least 15° and particularly preferably at least 20° are preferred for the function of the invention.
  • Maximum values for ⁇ result from the circumstances, in particular size, function and weight of the suspension module and should not usually exceed 45°. However, the invention is not limited to this.
  • the angle ⁇ is also reduced by roundings in the area of the edges of the recess and/or the strip module, which should be taken into account when calculating ⁇ .
