Definitions

  • the innovation relates to a spacer for fixing the joint width between stones, slabs or the like, consisting of a plurality of hollow cylindrical elements which run approximately parallel to one another, in each case adjacent elements being connected to one another by webs.
  • those of the generic type have the advantage that they are not only usable together with conventionally designed and therefore inexpensively available stones. Rather, they allow practically completely open laying of stones, slabs or the like and thus promote the easy seepage of the surface water. At the same time, it is possible to keep the laid stones or the like exactly and securely at a certain distance from one another, thus creating a perfect joint pattern and ensuring permanent greening.
  • the known spacers are used perpendicular to the laying plane in the crossing areas of the joints.
  • a cylindrical element comes to lie between two opposite stones and, with its diameter, specifies the width of the joint. If, for example, the spacer consists of only two cylindrical elements, two of these spacers are used in the area of a cross joint.
  • the space inside the tubular elements can be filled with soil, so that a continuous greening of the fingers is made possible.
  • the innovation is based on the task of further developing the generic spacers in such a way that they enable even faster laying of the stones, slabs or the like, form a clean system for the stones, slabs or the like to be laid on the joint, and moreover a achieve increased dimensional stability.
  • this object is achieved in a simple manner in that two parallel webs each form the connection between the hollow cylindrical elements.
  • the height of the webs can advantageously be dimensioned so that it corresponds to only a fraction of the height of the hollow cylindrical elements. It has proven useful if the height of the webs is in a ratio between 1: 2 and 1: 5, preferably 1: 4.5, to the height of the hollow cylindrical elements.
  • the hollow cylindrical elements form a one-piece bar with the webs, it being possible to design this bar so that it has two, three or even more hollow cylindrical elements in a row.
  • a particularly clean system for the stones, slabs or the like to be laid on the joint can be brought about in that the webs touch the outer circumference of the hollow cylindrical elements in diametrically opposite circumferential regions, so that the outer distance between these parallel webs is exactly in the outer diameter of the hollow cylindrical Elements.
  • the innovation also proposes a configuration for the spacers, in which the webs which protrude beyond the ends of a row of hollow cylindrical elements and are designed as coupling pieces which can be brought into mutual, releasable plug engagement.
  • these coupling pieces With the help of these coupling pieces, a large number of identical one-piece strips can then practically be lined up in alignment, so that a spacer chain can be formed to a certain extent, which can be attached over the entire intended laying length if required.
  • a spacer 1 which - preferably by injection molding - can be produced on plastic. It consists of two hollow cylindrical elements 2 and 3, which are integrally or fixedly connected to one another at a distance by two parallel webs 4 and 5. Halfway between the two hollow cylindrical elements 2 and 3, the two webs 4 and 5 are in turn connected to one another by a transverse web 6, which fulfills the stiffening function.
  • the two webs 4 and 5 each affect the outer circumference of the hollow cylindrical elements 2 and 3 in diametrically opposite circumferential regions, that is to say that the outer surfaces of the webs 4 and 5 are at a distance from one another which is equal to the diameter of the hollow cylindrical elements is measured.
  • the height 7 of the webs 4 and 5 each corresponds to only a fraction of the height of the 8 of the hollow cylindrical elements.
  • the height 7 of the webs 4 and 5 to the height 8 of the hollow cylindrical elements 2 and 3 can, for example, have a ratio between 1: 3 and 1: 5, preferably 1: 4.5.
  • FIG. 1 Another important training feature of the spacers 1 is also already apparent from FIG. 1. It is that the webs 4 and 5 are each formed flush with one end of the hollow cylindrical elements 2 and 2 to these elements 2 and 3, so that they can take on a supporting function on the ground level.
  • the spacer 1 shown in FIG. 2 differs from that according to FIG. 1 in that a larger number, for example six hollow cylindrical elements 2, 3, 9, 10, 11, 12 form a one-piece strip 13 with the webs 4 and 5 .
  • a larger number for example six hollow cylindrical elements 2, 3, 9, 10, 11, 12 form a one-piece strip 13 with the webs 4 and 5 .
  • the hollow cylindrical elements 2, 3, 9, 10, 11, 12 are joined together with the webs 4 and 5 in a straight line.
  • the webs 4 and 5 each project beyond the ends of a row of hollow cylindrical elements 2 and 12 to a certain extent 14 and 15 respectively. They can form mutually complementary coupling pieces 16 and 17, which can be brought into mutual, releasable mating engagement.
  • the coupling piece 16 is designed, for example, as a frame which is laterally offset by the thickness of the two webs 4 and 5, while the coupling piece 17 has such a fork shape that it engages with the coupling piece 16, which is designed as a frame, of a further spacer 1 in mutual engagement can be brought.
  • FIG. 3 shows an intersection joint 18 which is formed between the corners by four stones or plates 19, 20, 21, 22 laid adjacent to one another.
  • the crossing joint 18 is determined by four spacers 1, which can have the design according to FIG. 2 of the drawing, as can be easily recognized.
  • the spacers 1 are laid so that the hollow cylindrical elements 2, 3, 9, 10, 11, 12 integrally interconnected webs 4 and 5 come to the support surface on the ground level, while the webs 4 and 5 projecting upward sections of the hollow cylindrical elements 2, 3, 9, 10, 11, 12 come to lie between the peripheral surfaces of the stones or plates 19, 20, 21, 22 adjacent to the crossing joint 18.
  • Three spacers 1 designed as strips 13 are connected to one another according to FIG. 3 by their interlocking coupling pieces 16 and 17, while of the two other spacers 1, one with its coupling piece 16 and the other with its coupling piece 17 lies adjacent to the crossing area of the crossing joint 18.
  • spacer 1 is a clean system for the Form joint 18 to be laid stones or slabs 19, 20, 21, 22. It can also be seen in FIG. 3 that the new system of spacers 1 can be laid quickly and quickly and thus ensures good work progress.
  • the spacers 1 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 differ from the spacers 1 according to FIGS. 1 and 2 essentially only in that they are equipped with an additional, parallel to the webs 4 and 5 parallel central web 23, the height 24 the height 7 of the other two webs 4 and 5 and also the height of the crossbar 6 can exceed.
  • the upper edge 25 of the longitudinal central web 23 should extend over a part of its length with a slope increasing towards the hollow cylindrical elements 2 and 3 or 2, 3, 9, 10, 11, 12 or a concave curvature 26, such as that can be clearly seen in FIGS. 4 and 5.
  • the longitudinal central web 23 is also provided between the hollow cylindrical elements 2 and 3 or 2, 3, 9, 10, 11, 12 in such a way that its lower edge is flush with one end thereof.
  • the spacers according to FIGS. 4 and 5 have practically the same design as the spacers 1 according to FIGS. 1 and 2; they are also provided in the same way between the stones and plates 19, 20, 21, 22, as can be seen with reference to FIG. 3 in the region of an intersection joint 18.
