Definitions
- the present invention relates to a set of construction elements according to the preamble of claim 1.
- suspended ceilings In order to create an optical and / or acoustic cover in the ceiling area of rooms, for example, it is known to use so-called suspended ceilings. These ceilings are placed at a certain distance from the actual ceiling, i.e. upper boundary of a room, usually arranged parallel to it. The arrangement is carried out, for example, by hanging flat ceiling elements of the false ceiling in fastening devices attached to the actual ceiling, respectively. Support structure, for example in the form of beams or holding profiles.
- a lower ceiling system in which box-shaped plate elements are attached to support profiles arranged under the ceiling by means of suspension fittings, which act on resilient tongues of the plate elements.
- the support profiles which have an L-shaped cross section, are aligned parallel to one another and connected to the ceiling, and the suspension fittings are slidable on the lower flanges of the support profiles.
- the downward-facing suspension fittings with the resilient tongues engage the side walls of the plate elements running transversely to the support profiles from above, each from the inside of the plate elements. At least one tongue is provided for each of two adjacent plate elements.
- the plate elements are arranged between the support profiles, so that the undersides of the support profiles are visible together with the undersides of the plates.
- the support profiles are primarily arranged as a grid pattern. This arrangement can be optically advantageous, but requires that the undersides of the support profiles, in particular in the crossing points or nodes, are designed to be optically appealing, i.e. have homogeneous, regular surfaces and parallel joints at the transitions.
- Metal profiles are conventionally used for this purpose, which are either equipped with cutouts for carrying out cross profiles, or special connecting fittings are used with which T-connections or crossings can be realized.
- relatively complex and thus also expensive profiles are conventionally necessary, or additional elements such as connecting fittings have to be used, which are complex to manufacture and in particular to assemble, or a large number of different profile elements are required to build up a lattice grid, require complex and expensive warehousing and, on the other hand, must be connected to one another using complex connection techniques.
- the object of the present invention was to create a set of support elements with which a stable support structure can be created in a simple manner, which can also be used to form a grid pattern is suitable in which the undersides remain visible together with the plate elements after they have been attached.
- this object is achieved by a set of support elements with the characterizing features according to claim 1.
- a straight profile with an essentially rectangular open inner cross section is used as the basic element for the construction of a supporting structure.
- Such profiles can be manufactured cheaply and easily stored as so-called yard goods. You can then easily cut or cut to the desired length for the formation of a square grid, for example. be cut to length and attach or attach the required fasteners. shape.
- the individual profiles can now be connected at their ends to a node element, which preferably has an essentially square outline. These node elements can be used to easily implement either T-connections at the edge of the lattice grid or crossings inside the lattice grid.
- connection of the support profiles designed according to the invention to the node elements is now simply done by attaching the retaining brackets at the ends of the support profiles to the node elements, which have appropriately designed shoulders and tongues.
- the tabs have slots for the passage of the tongues, which can be twisted or bent after installation by simple means, for example using pliers, as a result of which the plugged connection is fixed and secured and cannot be loosened independently.
- the tongues can also be easily bent back with the same tools in order to release the connection later if necessary.
- a suspension bracket is also provided, which is also advantageously by means of tongues which in
- Engage slots of the node element can be easily connected to the node element.
- a bore can now be formed, through which a threaded rod can be passed, which serves as a connecting means, for example to the ceiling.
- the great advantage of the set of construction elements according to the invention is, on the one hand, that with just a few individual elements and without additional connecting means, a practically arbitrary, lattice-shaped support structure can be created, for example for fastening suspended ceiling panels to form a suspended ceiling. Neither expensive special tools nor the use of special, additional connecting elements such as screws are necessary for the construction of this support structure.
- FIG. 1 shows the view of a set of construction elements according to the invention in the node area of a lattice-shaped support structure for ceilings;
- FIG. 2 shows the view of a node element according to the invention according to FIG. 1;
- Fig. 3 shows the view of one end of a support profile designed according to the invention.
- FIG. 1 shows the perspective top view of a node area of a lattice-shaped support structure using the set of construction elements according to the invention.
- the support profiles 1 have a U-shaped cross section with straight rare walls and bottom wall, the side walls having an inwardly bent flange 1 'on their free edge.
- Such support profiles 1 can be easily made from sheet metal by folding and cut or cut to the required lengths. be cut off.
- the tiled, node element 3, which is open at the top, has a square outline, as can be seen from the view in FIG.
- Each side wall 5 of the node element 3 now preferably has at least one tongue 6 pointing upwards, which extends in the plane of the side walls 5.
- the tongues 6 have, for example, a rectangular shape with broken corner areas.
- the node element 3 can advantageously in a simple manner as a processing from a sheet by stamping or. Click and then fold.
- connection between the support profiles 1 and the node element 3 takes place via the connecting bracket 2, which is formed at each end of the support profiles 1, as shown in FIG. 3 in the perspective view.
- the connecting bracket 2 is advantageously formed directly from the base material of the support profile 1 by clinker and bevel.
- the connecting bracket 2 is formed at the height with respect to the bottom surface of the support profile 1 such that the undersides of the bottom surface of the support profiles 1 and the undersides of the bottom surface 4 of the node elements 3 come to lie in one plane in the assembled state.
- a slot 8 is formed in the transition between the connecting bracket 2 and the front wall 7 of the support profiles 1, in which the corresponding tongue 6 of the node element 3 can pass.
- the connection of the support profiles 1 and node elements 3 is thus fixed in the longitudinal direction of the support profiles 1.
- a suspension bracket 9 as already shown in FIG. 1, can also be used for the ceiling.
- the suspension bracket 9 is constructed in one piece and consists essentially of a support profile 10 and cheeks 11 protruding laterally therefrom, which at their lower ends each have outwardly bent and preferably hook-shaped tongues 12 pointing upwards.
- the support profile 10 has a substantially U-shaped open cross section and a central bore 10 'through which a connecting element, such as a threaded rod 13, can be passed.
- the threaded rod 13 is respectively with the wall. connected to the ceiling, and is connected to the support profile 10 in a height-adjustable manner by means of a nut (not shown) guided between the side walls of the support profile 10 so that it can rotate.
- the suspension bracket 9 can now be connected in the simplest way to a node element 3 by the tongues 12 from below through appropriately designed slots 14 of the shoulder 5 'of the node element 3 and. Identically designed slots 15 of the connecting bracket 2 are inserted. Due to the design of the suspension bracket 9 according to the invention, this can be done simply by resiliently compressing the two cheeks 11 against one another for the insertion of the suspension bracket 9 into the inner region of the node element 3 done.
- the tongues 12 of the suspension bracket 9 preferably have laterally arranged slots which allow the free part of the tongues 12 to be rotated about their vertical axis by means of simple tools and thus to secure the plug connection. This can prevent the suspension bracket 9 from detaching itself from the plug connection described when it is not connected to the ceiling. This securing is again easy to remove using the simplest tools.
- the great advantage of using the plug-in suspension bracket 9 described is that the storage and transport of the node elements 3 and the suspension bracket 9 is much easier, space-saving and cheaper in comparison with conventionally constructed node elements with fixed suspension elements.
- the set of construction elements according to the invention is shown here using the example of use as a supporting structure for a suspended ceiling with suspended ceiling panels to be arranged between the supporting profiles.
- this set of construction elements is also suitable for the construction of a concealed supporting structure, in which the suspended ceiling panels are arranged under the supporting structure with adjoining edges. It is also conceivable to use it as a free-hanging support structure, in which no ceiling panels are arranged, but which are used, for example, to accommodate electrical or sanitary installations.
