Definitions

  • the invention relates to a connecting rail in I-profile shape for cladding panels to be mounted in the wall or ceiling area of buildings, having a first pair of profile legs and a second pair of profile legs lying essentially parallel to the same, and a central web extending perpendicularly between them, the opposite sides of the profile legs Leg pairs each have a receiving space for an edge region of a cladding panel is formed.
  • Such cladding panels are e.g. Insulating or insulating boards made of hard foam or the like. Insulating material or wood, veneer or chipboard.
  • the respective receiving space between the legs of the I-profile is dimensioned in accordance with the thickness of the cladding panel. This means that for each thickness of the cladding panels to be processed, connecting rails dimensioned with their receiving space must be available. This results in an increased manufacturing outlay for the connecting rails, connected with a corresponding expenditure in the magazine or storage.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a connecting rail of the type specified, which is suitable to accommodate cladding panels of different thickness for their connection within their design limits.
  • the profile legs of the first pair of legs are each provided on their outer edge with a spring bar directed towards the opposite profile leg of the second pair of legs, reducing the receiving space but resiliently flexible towards the profile leg of the first pair of legs.
  • cladding panels of different thicknesses can be accommodated in the respective receiving space of the connecting rail in that when the edge region of the cladding panel is inserted into the receiving space, the respective female connector is pressed more or less towards the profile leg of the first pair of legs against elastic resistance, depending on the thickness of the panel.
  • the resilient forces inherent in the resilient female connector simultaneously cause the cladding panel inserted into the edge of the receiving space to be pressed against the profile leg of the second pair of legs and to be held in the receiving space by a clamping effect.
  • cladding panels with different thicknesses in particular insulating panels, can be securely fixed within the design limits of the connecting rail in its respective receiving space.
  • the spring strips supported with spring pressure on the surface of the cladding panel with their edges facing the second pair of legs also offer desirable protection of the cladding panels in their cutting areas compared to small rodents.
  • the connecting rail is advantageously formed by an extruded plastic profile body, preferably made of PVC, on which the female connectors are integrally formed.
  • PVC polyvinyl styrene
  • the connecting rail is advantageously formed by an extruded plastic profile body, preferably made of PVC, on which the female connectors are integrally formed.
  • connection rail can be fastened to the wall or ceiling of the space to be provided with the cladding panels in a simple manner by means of the profile legs of the first pair of legs facing the wall or ceiling in the installed position of the rail, by means of which nails or preferably screws into suitable parts of the wall - or ceiling construction, such as wooden ceiling beams or slats.
  • a head strip is integrally formed on the top of the first pair of legs, by means of which it can be brought into a latching or similar holding engagement with a receiving groove in a wall or ceiling-mounted holder. This enables a quick assembly of the connecting rail.
  • the invention also includes a kit for mounting cladding panels consisting of a connecting rail of the type specified with top header and a number of individual, wall or ceiling mounted brackets with an open to the connecting rail receiving groove for a snap or the like at specified intervals with the header of the connecting rail.
  • brackets can advantageously each be formed by a two-legged profile piece, one leg of the ceiling-side attachment, e.g. by means of nails or screws on a wooden beam, and whose other leg has the receiving groove.
  • the profile pieces are expediently formed from injection molded plastic parts, with polyethylene and polypropylene in particular being considered as the material.
  • cladding or ceiling panel 9 for example made of hard foam.
  • a female connector 11 is integrally formed, which is directed towards the lower profile leg 5 and 6 and thereby initially reduces the receiving space 7 from above.
  • the female connector 11 is pushed up toward the upper profile leg 3 or 4 against elastic resistance, so that the peripheral region 8 is clamped between the lower end of the female connector 11 and the lower profile leg 5 or 6.
  • Different thicknesses of the ceiling plate 9 are absorbed within the design limits of the connecting rail 1 by more or less strong compression of the female connector 11.
  • the female connector 11 in the left half of the connecting rail 1, the female connector 11 is in its initial state, i.e. before inserting the edge area 8 of a ceiling panel 9. It can be seen that the female connector 11 has an elastically compressible side fold 12 which is molded toward the central web 2 and which gives the female connector 11 a controlled movement in the direction of the profile legs 3 or 4 under the pressure of the edge region 8 of a ceiling plate 9 inserted into the receiving space 7.
  • the side gussets 12 are dimensioned such that in their compressed state, after the insertion of a ceiling plate 9, as shown in the right half of FIG. 1, with their outer folded edges 13 they are located within a vertical envelope plane of the I-profile, between the outer edge 10 of the upper profile leg 3 and the corresponding outer edge 14 of the lower profile leg 5 or the outer edge 10 of the upper profile leg 4 and the corresponding outer edge 14 of the lower profile leg 6 runs.
  • the spring strips 11 do not protrude beyond the width of the I-profile. This provides the guarantee that a next adjacent, similar to the illustrated connecting rail 1 extending, further connecting rail can connect to the illustrated connecting rail 1.
  • the free end of the female connector 11 is formed by an obliquely to the central web 2 downward facing plate support web 15 against which the ceiling panel 9 is pushed with its edge area 8 when inserted in order to further slide in the female connector 11 by executing a folding movement around the outer Compress the folded edge 13 and the inner folded edge 16 and the outer edge 10 of the upper profile leg 3 or 4.
  • the side fold 12 is thereby reduced accordingly.
  • the ceiling plate 9 is securely held between the lower edge of the plate contact web 15 and the lower profile leg 5 or 6 by clamping action, this clamping effect can be increased further by initially lowering the lower profile leg 5, 6 in the direction of the upper profile leg 3 , 4 are elastically biased.
  • a locking head strip 17 is integrally formed, by means of which it can be locked with a locking groove 18 of brackets 19 mounted on the ceiling.
  • the brackets 19 are each formed by an angular profile piece, one vertical leg 20 of which is used for fastening on the ceiling and the other, horizontal leg 21 of which has the locking groove 18 provided by a groove strip 22.
  • FIG. 2 shows the holder in its state fastened to a ceiling beam 23 with the aid of screws or nails 24.
  • the brackets 19 fastened to the ceiling beams 23 or corresponding slats of a lattice attached to the ceiling come into locking engagement at intervals corresponding to the beam or slat spacing with the locking head strip 17 running over the length of the connecting rail 1 when the connecting rail 1 has the locking head profile from below its locking head strip 17 is pressed into the correspondingly shaped groove.
  • the maximum compression of the female connector 11 is shown, in which a ceiling panel 9 of 60 mm, for example, rests with its surface 25 on the lower edge of the female connector 11.
  • the dash-dotted lines 26 indicate that even less thick ceiling panels 9, for example with a thickness of 50 mm or less, can be included with a clamping effect between the female connector 11 and the profile leg 6, up to the lower limit line 27, which is approximately in The height of the lower edge of the female connector 11 runs in its initial state and thus marks the lower limit for a ceiling plate 9 to be sandwiched between the female connector 11 and the profile leg 5 or 6 with only a minimal clamping effect.
