Definitions

  • the invention relates to a covering device for floor coverings with a profiled cover, which is provided with a footing for fastening the profiled cover in a floor bracket and a covering flange that protrudes from this footing on both sides, and with an optional profiled compensation element that can be attached to the covering flange by means of a form-fitting tongue and groove joint.
  • a profiled compensation element be attached to the underside of the covering flange to mate with the profiled cover on the side of the lower floor element.
  • the profiled compensation element is provided with an undercut groove, into which a tongue on the underside of the covering flange engages in a form fitting manner, with said tongue being parallel to the footing of the profiled cover.
  • the main disadvantage of this known covering device for floor coverings is that the profiled cover can only be used as a cover for an expansion joint between two floor elements of equal height without the profiled compensation element when the tongue projecting from the underside of the covering flange is removed in a special operation beforehand.
  • the object of the invention is to design a covering device for floor coverings of the type described above in such a way that a standard profiled cover suitable for bridging the expansion joints between two floor elements of equal height can be combined with a profiled compensation element in a simple way in order to bridge the step between two floor elements of different heights or to be able to seal the edge of a floor covering.
  • the invention fulfils this aim by virtue of the fact that the profiled compensation element forms a grooved seat for one of the free longitudinal edges of the covering flange for the tongue and groove joint.
  • connection between the profiled compensation element and the profiled cover is not on the underside of the covering flange, but involves one of the two longitudinal edges of the covering flange, there is no need for special measures to connect the profiled compensation element with the profiled cover to a profiled transition or joint element. All that is required is to press the profiled compensation element with its peripheral seating groove onto the longitudinal edge of the profiled cover.
  • the overlap of the outer groove wall of the seating groove of the profiled compensation element over the outer side of the longitudinal edge of the profiled cover also results in an advantageous equalisation of tolerance so the usual measures required to secure a common firm joint between the profiled cover and profiled compensation element becomes superfluous.
  • the profiled compensation element can be provided with at least one supporting leg on the inner side facing the footing of the profiled cover for transferring part of the load.
  • the supporting leg is directed toward the floor in the case of support on the floor side, if the supporting leg is supported on the profiled cover it can engage with a retaining recess on the underside of the covering flange or of the footing of the profiled cover. In both cases, the profiled compensation element gripping around the longitudinal edge of the profiled cover can be sufficiently supported to resist load-related torque.
  • the covering flange of the profiled cover on one side in the area of the longitudinal edge engaging in the grooved seat can be provided with a retaining recess for a retaining lug in the area of the edge of the corresponding wall of the grooved seat of the profiled compensation element.
  • FIG. 1 shows a covering device for floor coverings in accordance with the invention in a simplified cross-section
  • FIGS. 2 to 4 show representations corresponding with FIG. 1 of different embodiments of the covering device in accordance with the invention.
  • the profiled cover 1 of the covering device shown in various embodiments is provided with a footing 2 consisting of two clamping webs 3 extending longitudinally with respect to the profiled element and a covering flange 4 extending on both sides of the footing.
  • the profiled cover 1 together with the clamping webs 3 of the footing 2 , is placed into a floor bracket 5 in the form of a floor track in the embodiments, indicated by dash-dotted lines, and on at least one side it laps over a floor element 6 with its covering flange 4 . If the profiled floor element 1 is employed to bridge an expansion joint between two floor elements of equal height, the covering flange 4 laps over the floor elements 6 extending on both sides of the expansion joint.
  • a profiled compensation element 7 can be connected to the profiled cover 1 .
  • This profiled compensation element 7 accommodates the longitudinal edge 8 of the covering flange 4 of the profiled floor element 1 in a grooved seat 9 , producing a tongue and groove joint between the profiled compensation element 7 and the covering flange 4 of the profiled floor element 1 , without having to make provision for a special tongue on the covering flange 4 .
  • FIG. 1 shows a simple profiled compensation element 7 that simply extends the longitudinal edge 8 of the covering flange 1 [sic!] downward
  • the profiled compensation element 7 in accordance with FIG. 2 is provided with an additional supporting leg 12 directed toward the floor such that the forces experienced when the covering device is subjected to a load can be transferred into the floor better.
  • Such a supporting leg 12 can also be supported on the profiled cover 1 in accordance with FIG. 4 , for instance in a retaining recess 13 on the underside of the covering flange 4 .
