Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for assembling a partition wall installation (1).

Description

The present invention relates to a partition wall installation with a plate-shaped filling element that is fixed on at least one side to a holding device that surrounds a lateral edge of the filling element on one side with a web of a partition wall profile and on an opposite side the edge of the filling element is surrounded by a pressure strip that is fixed to a holder, and a guide element that is fixed to the partition wall profile is arranged on an end face of the filling element. The invention also relates to a method for assembling a partition wall installation.

The US$4,277,920 discloses a partition wall system for buildings in which a filling element is mounted between a floor and a ceiling. Retaining devices are fixed to the floor and ceiling, which are fixed at a predetermined thickness. Especially when the filling elements are made of glass, they can be manufactured in different thicknesses, depending on whether insulating glass panes, laminated glass panes, single-pane safety glass or other filling elements are used for heat and sound insulation.

The EN 21 59 520 discloses glazing with a metal frame that surrounds one edge of the panes of the glazing with a groove. An insert is provided in the frame for clamping with a wedge. This allows a small thickness adjustment to be made within the groove of the metal frame. If the difference in thickness exceeds a certain range, different frame profiles must be used.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a partition wall installation which enables flexible adaptation to the thickness of a filling element using simple means and to provide a method for assembling a partition wall installation with which a thickness adaptation to different thicknesses of filling elements can be carried out effectively.

This object is achieved with a partition wall installation having the features of claim 1 and a method having the features of claim 15.

In the partition wall installation according to the invention, a plate-shaped filling element is fixed to a holding device on at least one side. The holding device comprises a partition wall profile with a web that surrounds a lateral edge of the filling element on one side and holds the edge of the filling element on an opposite side by means of a pressure bar that is fixed to a holder. A guide element that is fixed to the partition wall profile is arranged on one end face of the filling element. To adjust the distance between the web of the partition wall profile and the pressure bar, the holder can be positioned, preferably displaced, relative to the guide element at different positions. As a result, the distance can be adjusted by adjusting the holder relative to the guide element, which enables filling elements of different thicknesses to be accommodated. The partition wall installation can therefore be used flexibly. The holder can be pivoted, inserted, displaced or positioned in another way relative to the guide element. When positioning the holder by inserting it, a hole pattern can be provided on the holder or guide element, for example, into which at least one pin can be inserted. The correct positioning can optionally also be ensured by gluing, screwing, nailing, pinning or wedging.

Preferably, a guide surface is provided on the holder and the guide element, each aligned at an angle to the plane of the filling element. The guide surface can be provided continuously in the longitudinal direction of the partition wall profile or in individual sections, for example on webs or individual projections. At least one guide surface can be designed to be continuous, so that continuous adjustment is possible. The inclination of the guide surface to the plane of the filling element can be in a range between 2° and 20°, in particular 5° and 15°, in order to be able to change the distance between the holder and the web of the partition wall profile accordingly by means of a sliding movement.

The panel-shaped filling elements can have a thickness between 8 mm and 24 mm for the interior of a building and a thickness between 16 mm and 60 mm on an external building wall and in the holding device. The adjustment range of the holder thus enables a width adjustment of at least 16 mm, for example between 20 mm and 50 mm. This adjustment range can optionally be increased by replacing the guide element. The plate-shaped filling elements can, for example, be designed as glass panes, in particular insulating glass panes or laminated safety glass, in order to create a transparent appearance. Alternatively, other filling elements can also be used for heat and sound insulation. The partition wall installation is preferably installed in the interior of a building in order to divide the interior space. The partition wall installation can also be used on the outside walls of a building, for example with fixed glazing in the building shell. Other thicknesses of the filling elements are possible here, for example up to 60 mm.

To ensure stable fixation of the holder to the guide element, the holder has a hook that engages behind a web on the guide element. The hook and the web can be arranged along a guide surface that is inclined to the plane of the filling element, so that guidance is provided via the hook and the web. Optionally, a hook can also be formed on the guide element and a corresponding web on the holder.

For effective assembly, a securing element is preferably provided by means of which the position of the holder on the guide element can be fixed. This means that when using several holding devices, the position of the holder on the guide element can be adjusted by moving it, in order to then secure the holder in the desired position against displacement and/or lifting out. The securing element can be designed as a screw or clamping element, for example. A marking can also be provided by means of which the distance between the web of the separating profile and the pressure bar is indicated. The marking can be provided either on the guide element, the holder, or another component.

For a stable fixation of the filling element, a seal is preferably fixed to the pressure bar and the web of the partition wall profile, with the filling element being held clamped between the two seals.

The holding device of the partition wall installation preferably comprises a support for supporting the filling element between the guide element and the front side of the filling element. This support can be made of plastic, for example, so that a filling element with glass can rest on the support without the risk of damage. The support can engage with a fixing web in a groove on a web of the partition wall profile, so that exact positioning of the support is guaranteed. Furthermore, the support can overlap the guide element with foot elements, so that the support is also secured against displacement in the longitudinal direction of the partition wall profile. Optionally, different supports can also be used on the holding device for different thicknesses of filling elements.

The partition wall profile is preferably L-shaped in cross-section. One leg can then be fixed to a floor or ceiling, for example via screw connections, while another leg protrudes vertically from the floor or ceiling to surround an edge of the filling element on one side. Optionally, such L-shaped partition wall profiles of a holding device can also be provided on the vertical sides of the filling element, even if fixing only on the underside and the top may be sufficient. The partition wall profile can be one-piece, solid or one-piece with an outer and inner profile with a thermal and/or acoustic insulation area in between.

When installing the partition wall, several holding devices can be arranged on one side of the filling element, which are distributed over the corresponding side of the filling element. Furthermore, at least one holding device can optionally be provided on each side of the filling element so that the filling element is securely fixed.

In the method according to the invention for assembling a partition wall installation, in particular as described above, a partition wall profile is first arranged and fixed on a base or a support device, for example a leg of a partition wall profile with an L-shaped cross section is screwed to a base. Then a guide element is arranged on the partition wall profile and a support is positioned on or on the guide element. A holder is attached to the guide element at a predetermined distance from a web of the partition wall profile, in particular an upwardly projecting web, so that a groove-shaped receptacle is formed, wherein the holder can be positioned at different positions relative to the guide element to change the distance to the web. Then an end face of a filling element is placed on the carrier between the web and the holder, wherein the filling element is preferably arranged with play between the holder and the web. Then a pressure bar is fixed to the holder to clamp the filling element between the web and the pressure bar. The different positions mean that filling elements with thicknesses between 10mm and 50mm can preferably be held on the partition wall installation. Even when installing filling elements with different thicknesses, no further components are required; instead, the partition wall installation can be flexibly adapted to the respective thickness.

A partition wall installation 1 comprises a plate-shaped filling element 2 which is held on at least one lower holding device 3. The holding device 3 comprises a partition wall profile 4 which has a leg 41 which is fixed to a base 43 via one or more screws 42. A web 40 protrudes upwards from the horizontal leg 41 and projects beyond an edge of the filling element 2. A seal 45 is fixed to the web 40 and rests against one side of the filling element 2.

On the opposite side of the filling element 2, a pressure bar 5 is arranged on the lower edge, which is L-shaped in cross section and rests on the floor 43 with a vertical leg 50 and carries a seal 52 with a horizontal leg 51, which rests on the filling element 2. The pressure bar 5 is fixed to a holder 6, which is held on a guide element 8.

A support 7 is also provided on the lower holding device 3, which forms a support surface for a lower end face of the filling element 2. As a result, weight loads of the filling element 2 can be transferred to the support 7, which is supported on the leg 41.

The partition wall installation 1 also comprises at least one holding device 3' on the upper side of the filling element 2, which is constructed identically to the holding device 3, except for the support 7, which has been omitted from the holding device 3'.

In Figure 2 the partition wall installation 1 is shown, which has several holding devices 3' on the top of the filling element 2 and several holding devices 3 on the bottom. The front sides of the filling element 2, which extend in the vertical direction, are freely arranged. Optionally, one or more holding devices 3' can also be provided on these sides.

In Figure 3 a holding device 3 is shown in detail. The holding device 3 comprises a guide element 8 which is fixed to the partition wall profile 4. For this purpose, the guide element 8 is provided with a web 80 which has a Cross-section T-shaped web 44 engages behind the upwardly projecting web 40 of the partition wall profile 4. The guide element 8 further comprises a web 81 which is aligned at an angle to the plane of the filling element 2, for example at an angle of between 2° and 20° to the longitudinal direction of the partition wall profile 4. A guide surface is formed on the web 81 which engages with a further guide surface on the holder 6, so that by moving the holder 6 in the longitudinal direction of the partition wall profile, a distance between the pressure bar 5 held on the holder 6 and the web 40 of the partition wall profile 4 can be changed. When the holder 6 is arranged in the desired position, it can be secured using a locking element 9 in the form of a grub screw or another fastening element to prevent further displacement.

The holding device 3 also comprises the carrier 7, which is supported by foot elements 72 and has a hook-shaped fixing web 70 that engages behind the T-shaped web 44 on the partition wall profile. A marking 10 is also provided on the upper side of the carrier 7 so that the fitter can see how large the distance is between the pressure strip 5 and the web 40, so that all the holding devices 3 can be set to the desired position before the filling element 2 is installed.

In Figure 4 the holding device 3 is shown in the assembled position. It can be seen that the carrier 7 is supported on the lower leg 41 of the partition wall profile 4 via foot elements 72. Furthermore, the carrier 7 is held on the upwardly projecting web 40 of the partition wall profile 4 via the fixing web 70. The plate-shaped filling element 2 is clamped between the two seals 45 and 52 and rests with a lower end face on an upper side of the carrier 7.

The pressure bar 5 is fixed to the holder 6, whereby a hook 53 is formed on the leg 50 of the pressure bar 5, which engages in a groove 60 on the holder 6. Furthermore, a projection is formed on the upper leg 51 of the pressure bar 5, which engages behind a holding section 61 on the holder 6 and thus the pressure bar 5 can be clamped onto the filling element 2.

In Figure 5 the holding device 3 is shown without the filling element 2, and in addition a part of the pressure bar 5 is cut away. It can be seen that the guide element 8 in the mounted position on the lower leg 41 of the partition wall profile and the web 81 is aligned at an angle to the longitudinal direction of the partition wall profile 4. The holder 6 can be moved on this inclined web 81 in order to be able to accommodate different filling elements 2 on the holding device 3. The holder 6 is supported on a support 82 of the guide element, which tapers in a wedge shape. The carrier 7 has foot elements 72 which rest directly on the leg 41 and prevent the guide element 8 from moving in the mounted position. The carrier 7 overlaps the guide element 8 with the foot elements 72 on both sides.

In the Figures 6A and 6B the holder 6 is shown as it is arranged on the guide element 8 in the area of the marking 10. It can be seen that a hook 62 is formed on the holder 6, which is guided on the upwardly projecting web 81. A threaded opening is formed in the holder 6, into which the securing element 9 in the form of the grub screw is screwed in order to fix the holder 6 to the web 81. The hook 62 engages behind the web 81 and prevents the holder 6 from being pushed in a direction away from the web 40. At the same time, the holder 6 is prevented from being lifted out upwards.

In the Figures 7A to 7F the assembly on a holding device 3 is shown in detail. In a first step, the guide element 8 is inserted into the partition wall profile 4, which is fixed to the floor 43, whereby the web 80 engages behind the T-shaped web 44 on the web 40. The carrier 7 is then mounted over the guide element 8, as shown in Figure 7B is shown, wherein a fixing web 70 engages in a groove on the T-shaped web 44. A lower end face of the filling element 2 is now placed on a flat upper side 71 of the carrier 7, which is preferably made of plastic, as shown in Figure 7C is shown.

Depending on the thickness of the filling element 2, the holder 6 is now pre-assembled, with the holder 6 being moved along the web 81 until a contact surface on the holder 6 is arranged adjacent to or at a distance, for example approximately 1 mm from the filling element 2 or rests against it. The position of the holder 6 is fixed by the securing element 9. The holder 6 is preferably made of plastic, so that contact of the filling element 2 with metallic components is prevented during assembly and the edge of the filling element 2 is arranged with play between the holder 6 and the seal 45.

The pressure bar 5 is then mounted on the holder 6, with the hook 53 engaging in the groove 60 on the holder 6 and the holding section 61 being gripped behind by a projection on the upper leg 51. Now, in a final step, the seal 52 can be mounted on the leg 51 in order to clamp the filling element 2 between the seals 45 and 52. The order of the assembly steps can also be modified in part in order to assemble the holding device.

In the Figures 8A and 8B a modified holding device is shown, which is designed as in the previous embodiment, except for the wider design of a support 7' and the guide element 8'. This allows a wider filling element 2' to be mounted between the pressure bar 5 and the partition wall profile 4. Otherwise, the holding device corresponds to the previous embodiment, except for the wider support surface on the support 7'. The guide element 8' has an upwardly projecting web 81, which is gripped behind by a hook of the holder 6, in order to be able to adjust the distance between the pressure bar 5 and the web 40 of the partition wall profile 4.

In the Figures 9A and 9B a further embodiment of a holding device is shown in which an even thicker filling element 2" is used and the carrier 7" has a greater width than the other carriers 7 and 7'. Furthermore, the guide element 8" is wider, but also has an upwardly projecting web 81 on which the hook 62 of the holder 6 is guided in order to be able to adjust the distance of the pressure bar 5 from the web 40. By exchanging the carrier 7, 7' and 7" and the guide element 8, 8' and 8", a thickness adjustment to different thicknesses of filling elements 2, 2' and 2" can be carried out over a wide range.
