Definitions

  • the invention relates to a banister with a connecting and barrier element arranged between the handrail and steps and held by upper and lower fixed connecting parts.
  • the connecting and barrier elements consist of railing rods, which in the case of a wooden construction each have a hanger bolt fastened at the upper and lower ends, the free threaded section of which can be screwed to a connecting part fixed on the handrail or on the step, in order to avoid the railing rod to clamp.
  • the view of stairs is largely determined by the large number of railings made of wood or metal, which are arranged between the handrail and steps, and which appear to be like a wall due to the relatively close safety distances between them.
  • the lower support bar which is also required to hold the steps, looks like a very high opaque cheek, which is detrimental to a delicate impression normally achieved by the free suspension of the steps.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a banister that does not impair the unobstructed view of the free ends of the steps on the railing side and also avoids the narrow railing rod sequence, but nevertheless satisfies the static requirements of the railing with regard to its connection or bracing with the steps.
  • this object is achieved in that at least one longitudinal section of the railing is fanned out by a plate extending between the handrail and treads, the holding parts of which, with their upper and lower sides being spaced apart, using transverse openings in the plate Dowel pin is connected, the holding parts are releasably attached to the upper or lower connecting parts defined on the handrail or on the steps.
  • the resilience of the plate under tension and gradually also under pressure ensures that it can take over the mechanical suspension and clamping function of the balusters completely with respect to the tread plates and even better with regard to the force distribution along the handrail than the only selectively effective balusters.
  • the plate offers the possibility only use a smaller number of pairs of holding parts than the otherwise necessary number of handrail rods, because even step plates with a larger appearance only have to be connected to the handrail at their front and rear ends via the plate and the intermediate rods and which are otherwise necessary due to the safety distance thus there is no need for intermediate fittings.
  • the plate is preferably made of transparent plastic (e.g. polycarbonate), although similar advantageous effects can also be achieved with metallic plates e.g. can be reached from perforated sheet.
  • the plate has the shape of a parallelogram in the case of straight stair sections, the side edges of which run parallel to the handrail or to an entry or exit post supporting the handrail.
  • the plate can also advantageously be used to fill out a railing of a spiral staircase, in which case the plate is a curved, e.g. has a cylindrical course.
  • the holding parts expediently consist of a round or polygonal profile and each contain at one end a slit receiving the plate and a bore extending through the cheeks formed on both sides of the slit for the transverse fitting bolt bridging the slit.
  • the shaft portion of the bolt can extend through both cheeks of the holding part, so that the bolt head and a counter screw form lateral boundaries of the spacer and thus prevent the cheeks from being pressed against the glass plate when the counter screw is tightened.
  • the upper holding parts to be connected to the top side of the plate preferably have a greater length (e.g. 1.5 to 2 times) than the holding parts to be connected to the lower side of the plate. Since the upper holding parts are received with their upper end in a blind bore extending from the underside of the handrail, such prefabricated and in-stock holding parts can advantageously be used with different stairs or handrail slopes in such a way that they always have an approximately constant length protrude downwards from the blind hole of the handrail and can therefore also be used with panels adapted to different stair climbs.
  • the aforementioned object is achieved in that that the distance between the handrail and steps is fanned by a plate that extends at least over a length of the railing, the fitting bolts traversing using openings in the plate can be connected to holding parts which cover their underside at intervals and to which the top side can be connected in a groove, wherein the holding parts are releasably attached to the connecting parts fixed to the steps.
  • the groove in the underside of the handrail is preferably at least 5 cm deep, which ensures that the fitting bolts, which also penetrate the handrail, are at a sufficient distance from the underside of the handrail for secure anchoring. To improve suppression of vibrations of the plate, it can also be inserted at least on one side into a groove in the entry or exit post.
  • the lower holding parts can have, at their end facing the tread, an external thread section onto which a sleeve supported on the tread and widened relative to the holding part can be screwed.
  • a banister 10 comprises a handrail 12, which is supported at the end on a landing post 14 anchored to the floor or on an exit post, not shown. From the handrail 12 go down upper holding parts 16, on which a e.g. plate 22 made of transparent synthetic glass is connected along its top. On the underside of the plate 22, lower holding parts 18 are fastened, via which the connection of the plate 22 to the steps 20a-d takes place.
  • the steps 20a-d are indirect, that is to say with the participation of the plate 22 with the handrail 12 connected, which removes the stair load via the entry post 14 or the exit post, the plate 22 simultaneously serving as a transmission element for all forces and as a safety element ensuring the safety of the stairs.
  • the plate 22 which can also be located in a balustrade section of the railing, forms a parallelogram, the upper and lower sides of which run parallel to the handrail 12, while the end sides run parallel to the vertical entry post 14.
  • steps 20a-d are connected to the handrail 12 via a plate 22.
  • a railing rod 26 can be provided between plate 22 and a subsequent plate 32, which divides the distance between plates 22 and 32 into narrow gaps. If the steps 20 are not embedded or supported on the wall side, they can be connected on both sides to a stair railing 10 according to the invention.
  • Fig. 1 indicates that a staircase provided with a railing 10 according to the invention leaves a generous aesthetic impression, since the treads 20 are not supported by railing rods, but appear to be suspended from the glass plate 22 freely suspended.
  • the holding parts 16, 18, which are inconspicuous in comparison to conventional balusters, are far apart from one another than conventional balusters where the structural safety prescribes a small maximum permissible distance.
  • Fig. 2 shows a pair of opposing upper and lower holding parts 16 and 18.
  • a hanger bolt 30 is vertically inserted, which has a coarse wood thread at its upper end.
  • the lower end of the hanger bolt 30 provided with a metric thread protrudes concentrically into a counterbore 34 in the handrail 12.
  • the upper holding part 16 screwed onto it contains a concentric threaded bore 44 at its upper cylindrical end which can be inserted into the counterbore 34.
  • the upper holding part 16 In its lower end protruding from the handrail 12, the upper holding part 16 contains a slot 36 delimited on both sides by cheeks 48, into which the plate 22 is loosely inserted.
  • the slot 36 is traversed near its open end by a fitting bolt 38 which also extends through an opening 46 close to the top of the plate 22.
  • the force-transmitting connection between the upper holding part 16 and the plate 22 takes place due to the positive engagement of the shaft of the dowel bolt 38 on the wall of the plate opening 46.
  • the cheeks 48 delimiting the slot 36 on both sides have an approximately semi-cylindrical cross section.
  • the cheeks 48 contain an opening 50 or 54, into which the shaft of the fitting bolt screw 38 is recorded with little play or sliding fit.
  • the fitting bolt 38 extends from its head 52 through the opening 50 and extends through the slot 36 into the opening 54 of the opposite cheek 48.
  • a counter screw 56 is received in a threaded bore of the fitting bolt 38, so that when tightening this counter screw 56 the Width of the slot 36 is maintained at its original value, in which there is essentially no frictional engagement between the plate 22 and the holding part.
  • disc-shaped intermediate layers of felt or similar material can be inserted between plate 22 and cheeks 48.
  • the plate 22 shown shortened in FIG. 2 due to the breaking lines is connected to the lower holding parts 18.
  • the lower holding part 18 is arranged vertically below the upper holding part 16 by means of a washer 42 on the step 20 near its front edge.
  • a threaded bore 44 In the underside of the lower holding part 18 there is a threaded bore 44.
  • a head screw 28 screwed therein braces the lower holding part 18 with the step plate 20a and at the same time with this a step 20b which follows down stairs and is kept at a distance by a spacer sleeve 24 arranged therebetween.
  • both holding parts 16, 18 the slot 36 extends to a slot base 40 designed as a convex arc, which, apart from design reasons, the purpose is that damage to the upper edge or lower edge of an artificial glass plate due to scraping or falling edges of a straight slot base are avoided during assembly.
  • the slot length in both holding parts 16, 18 is essentially the same, the upper holding part 16 can have a greater overall length, as shown in FIG. 2, with which the holding part 16 is fixed in the counterbore 34 extending from the underside of the handrail 12.
  • Fig. 4 shows the connection of the plate 22 to the handrail 12 and steps 20a, b using a further developed embodiment of the upper and lower holding parts 16 and 18 of a further developed embodiment.
  • a short threaded shoulder 64 with a reduced diameter starts from the free end of the fitting bolt 38, which extends into a threaded bore 66 of the cheek 48 instead of the opening 54 (FIG. 3) is screwed in.
  • the modified lower holding part 18 has in its lower Extend an external thread section 48.
  • a sleeve 60 screwed thereon with a complementary internal thread is supported on the step 20a.
  • FIG. 5 Another embodiment according to the invention is shown in FIG. 5 for the connection of the plate 22 to the handrail 12.
  • the plate 22 is received with its upper side in a groove 62, preferably made centrally in the underside of the handrail 12, approximately up to half of which, and secured therein with bolts 68 detachably fastened in the handrail 12 and penetrating the plate 22 at its openings 46.
  • the larger upper holding parts 16 are dispensed with and the advantageous impression of the apparently floating treads 20 is reinforced as a result, as well as due to the glass plate 22 which transitions seamlessly into the handrail 12. All the more as the bolts 68 securing the filling element 22 are only visible from one side of the railing 10, as in the example, and the glass plate 22 appears to be held invisibly from the other side.
  • the lower holding parts 18 are also equipped at their lower section with sleeves 60 that can be adjusted along the longitudinal axis of the holding part, in order to be able to compensate for manufacturing tolerances of the entire staircase structure.
  • the sleeves 60 advantageously distribute the forces occurring between them and the treads 20a by means of more favorable lever ratios and contact surfaces.
