Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a beam for a trade fair and a store building, in particular, having at least two edge profiles and having a connecting element extending longitudinally to these edge profiles. Are connected.

[0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Beams, especially for trade fair and store buildings, are currently hardly variable structural elements and can therefore only be used for very specific and minor purposes. Furthermore, the beams are bulky and are therefore often cumbersome to transport.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to improve a beam for a very large number of different uses and for better transport.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides at least two
The object is achieved in that the two edge profiles and the connecting element are each detachably connected to one another.
In this way, the beam can be broken down into individual edge profiles and connecting elements, so that it is no longer bulky, thereby greatly simplifying transport. Furthermore, depending on the use case, more than two edge profiles can be configured into beams of different cross-sectional shapes by means of the coupling element, and differently formed coupling elements can also be used. Thereby the beam can be adapted to many different situations. Furthermore, the design of the beam can be changed.

[0005]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION For simple and fast assembly, the edge profile can have at least one groove for receiving the longitudinal edge of the coupling element. When constructing the beam, it is only necessary to insert the longitudinal edge of the coupling element from one of the end faces of the edge profile into at least one groove.

At least one groove is undercut,
If the longitudinal edges of the coupling element are received in a fit, another coupling element, for example a screw, can be eliminated.

[0007] In addition to the function of the beam, the edge profile can have one or more cables or buses or passageways for receiving the lighting rails in its longitudinal direction, so that the beam has a lighting device and a cable guide. Functions are also provided.

[0008] Advantageously, the passages for receiving cables or busbars or lighting rails can be at least partially provided with covers. This fosters an engaging design and protects the cable from accidental damage.

[0009] In order to be able to fix the cables guided into the cover or the passage, a stop clip can be made to engage the edge profile for mounting the cover or the cable.

[0010] Depending on the location and load conditions, the beam may be configured as an I-shaped profile, the cross section of which may have any polygonal shape.

[0011] Depending on the components to be mounted on the beam and the desired visual impression, the at least one coupling element can have a circular or slotted hole or a grid opening or have no openings.

In order to prevent indentation or sinking into the ground and to prevent the coupling element from slipping out of the edge profile, the beam can have terminal elements at the ends, which are advantageously arranged. It can also have cable penetrations.

Further, a connecting piece for coupling with another beam can be attached to the end of the beam. These connecting pieces allow the beam to be extended at any angle to the longitudinal or longitudinal axis of the existing beam. It is particularly advantageous if the connecting piece has a joint.

The edge profile can be manufactured from a tube having any cross section, in particular a circular cross section. The edge profile is thereby well suited for inexpensive tube extrusion. Tubing extruded from aluminum has particularly advantageous weight and strength properties.

An embodiment of a beam according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0016]

FIG. 1 shows an edge profile 10 configured as a tubular member, viewed from the end. The edge profile 10 has grooves 11 to 16 into which the coupling elements 2 shown in FIG.
Zero vertical edges can be inserted. Cables or busbars or light rails can be received in passage 17.

FIG. 2 shows the edge profile 10 of FIG. 1 with the coupling element 20 inserted into the groove. Groove 11 of edge profile 10
16 have an undercut 21 and the vertical edge 22 of the coupling element 20 has a contour corresponding to the groove.
0 and the coupling element 20 are coupled to each other in a fit. In this way, no additional attachment means, such as screws or studs, are required to secure the edge profile and the coupling element.

FIG. 3 shows an edge profile 10 having a passage 17 which can be closed by a cover 30. Passage 1
The cable guided by 7 is protected. Furthermore, the edge profile 10 obtains a more beautiful appearance as a whole.

In FIG. 4, the clip 40 is fixed to the edge profile 10.
Is attached, and the cover 30 is
Can be fixed to the edge profile 10. Further, the cable guided into the passage can be fixed by the stop clip 40.

FIG. 5 shows a first beam 50 which can be composed of an edge profile 10 and a coupling element 51. This beam has an I-profile, two edge profiles 10 and one coupling element 51
It is composed of The coupling element 51 has a structure similar to a frame structure. This structure serves for mounting various components to be protected by the beam 50.

Instead, with the same edge profile 10,
A beam 62 having a triangular cross section can be formed (FIG. 6). The coupling element between the three edge profiles 10 comprises a plurality of holes 6.
1 and these holes 61 are well suited for receiving, for example, screws or rods.

FIG. 7 shows a beam 70 having a square cross section. The coupling element 71 has an elongated hole 72.

The end element 80 of FIG. 8 can be provided at the end of the edge profile 10 of FIG. The provision of the terminating element 80 at the end of the edge profile 10 prevents the coupling elements 51, 60 and 71 of FIGS. 5-7 inserted into the edge profile from slipping out of the groove. Advantageously, the termination element 80 has a cable entry 81. Further, the termination element 80
It may have an opening 82 for receiving a bus or lighting rail, not shown.

FIG. 9 shows a connecting piece 90. This connecting piece 90 is screwed to the end of the I-profile beam 50 of FIG. 5 so that it can be used to attach another beam 50 with the I-profile. Openings 91 and 92 are used to pass mounting screws. In order to join the two beams 50 at their end faces, each of both beams 50 must have a connecting piece at the end face to be joined.

FIG. 10 shows a beam 62 having a triangular cross section shown in FIG.
1 shows an embodiment of the connecting piece 100 for use in the present invention. This connecting piece 10
0 has a centering element 101 which is inserted into the end face of the beam 62. Now, when two beams 62 having a triangular cross section are to be connected to each other at the end face, each of the beams 62 to be connected has a connecting piece 100 at the end face to be connected, and these connecting pieces 100 are connected to each other at the contact face 102. I have to connect.

The connecting piece 110 shown in FIG. 11 enables a corner connection between the beam 62 in FIG. 6 and the beam in FIG.

The connecting piece 120 (FIG. 12) is suitable only for the right-angled corner connection of the beam 70 having the square cross section of FIG. In that case, these beams 70 are attached to one of the outsides of the connecting piece 120.

The connecting piece 130 of FIG. 13 having the joint 131 allows the beam 70 of FIG. 7 to be connected to another beam 70 at an arbitrary angle.
