Definitions

  • joint covers to nail or to screw on the ground.
  • joint covers are however not provided to hide the passage from a floor covering to a other, when these show differences in level.
  • joint covers formed of two longitudinal sections articulated between them and enclosing between them the two coatings including the joint is to be covered (BE-A-859782).
  • the lower profile is to stick to the ground and has the same disadvantages than the joint cover mentioned above.
  • profiling of the receiving groove of the nail heads imposes limits to the articulation to the point that the plaintiff is obliged to put on the market several different joint cover profiles depending on the height of the inequality to catch up. The result huge storage problems.
  • All these joint covers have the disadvantage major of a difficult placement. They require all a drill of aligned holes, then an introduction fixing means, whether nails or ankles, in the groove provided on the underside of the cover strip profile. This introduction should be do by the ends of the throat and the ankles are then arranged by sliding in the groove at distance from each other in a way corresponding to the distance between holes. Then return the profiled hoping the pegs won't slip during this operation. Only when all pegs have their rod simultaneously in their hole respective that pressure can be applied from from above on the joint cover to insert the dowels in the holes. It is absolutely necessary to properly measure the pressure applied all along the joint cover so that it has an appropriate inclination and uniform. As we can see this operation is complicated and requires the address of the user share.
  • the present invention aims to solve these problems, by developing an easy joint cover to assemble and disassemble, and of a single type, that is to say also suitable for covering a joint in the absence of unevenness only in the presence of a difference level of around 15 to 16 mm, for example which is generally accepted in this technique as the maximum value to be made up.
  • Such a joint cover offers the advantage to allow a very significant inclination of the profile relative to the bodies of the fixing means. These can be placed perfectly beforehand adjusted. The cover profiles are then fixed by snap-fastening the ball joints of the heads of the fixation in the body thereof. Placement and the height adjustment of the joint cover are therefore particularly easy.
  • the ball has a spherical shape and the housing of ball joint has a circular opening facing the profile, which has a slightly larger diameter smaller than that of the ball joint. Freedom of pivoting of the head of the fastening means is thus particularly well insured.
  • Figure 1 shows an elevational view of exploded profile of a following embodiment the invention.
  • FIG. 2 represents a sectional view, along line II-II of Figure 1.
  • Figures 3 to 5 show a joint cover according to the invention used to mask three differences level.
  • joint covers according to the invention can be used to mask a joint between surfaces other than ground surfaces, for example wall surfaces.
  • a joint cover 1 comprising an elongated profile 2 and means for fixing 3.
  • Profile 2 has a first surface, which in the illustrated case is the upper surface, and a second surface, here the lower surface 4.
  • Two parallel longitudinal ribs 5, 6 protrude down from this lower surface 4 and ledges 7, 8 extend towards each other from each longitudinal rib 5, 6, forming therebetween a predetermined width interval D.
  • a throat longitudinal 9 is thus defined between the surface lower 4 of the profile, the longitudinal ribs 5, 6 and the edges 7, 8, and it has an opening down along the width interval D. This throat is also accessible through openings end to longitudinal ends, not shown, of the elongated profile.
  • the means 3 for fixing the profile 2 to the ground each have a head 10, having a width greater than that of the above-mentioned interval. She is housed in the groove 9 of the profile 2 when the profile is in the fixing position (see figures 3 to 5).
  • the shape of the head is advantageously adapted to that of the throat to get a gentle friction between them, which allows both easy sliding of the head in the throat, but also keeping it in place when stop dragging it.
  • this head 10 is a independent part which can be introduced separately in the longitudinal groove 9 of the profile 2. It is provided with a rod 11 which, at one end, has a ball 12 which, in the example illustrated, has the form of a sphere.
  • the fixing means 3 each also includes a body anchored to the ground.
  • the body includes an external thread anchor rod 14 and a head articulation 15 provided with multiple panels, in particular hexagonal. This body can thus be screwed by a key suitable current, either directly in the ground or in an anchor 16 previously introduced into a hole drilled in the ground.
  • the body has, in its articulation head 15, a ball joint housing 17 open towards the outside and in which the ball 12 of a head 10 can be inserted by snap-fastening.
  • the housing has a circular opening 18, which in the body fixing position is oriented to the top. The diameter of this opening 18 is slightly smaller than that of the ball joint 12. It follows that after locking the ball joint 12 is retained in the ball joint housing 17.
  • the ball 12 of the head 10 and the housing of ball joint 17 of the body of the fixing means 3 thus form an articulation allowing a deep inclination of the head, relative to the longitudinal axis of the body.
  • the head 10 When the head 10 is inserted into the groove 9 of a joint cover, it swivels correspondingly in the head.
  • the joint cover must be placed to hide different inequalities between two floors 19 and 20, 20 'or 20 "respectively.
  • level difference between 19 and 20 is 5mm, between 19 and 20 'by 10 mm and between 19 and 20 "by 16 mm.
  • heads 10 in a corresponding number to the fastening means 3 used, have passed in the groove 9 of the profile 2, by one of its ends side.
  • the heads are placed in the throat at height of the fixing means and their ball joint 12 can then be snapped into the ball joint housing 17 corresponding by simple pressure on the joint cover. Thanks to the articulation of the fixing means 3, the joint cover automatically takes the appropriate tilt between the two soil levels. If the height of articulation heads 15 has been improperly adjusted, we can still disengage the joint cover, readjust the height of the articulation heads 15 by screwing and reclosing then the joint cover.
  • screw fixing means can of course also provide fixing means driving, for example nails, dowels, etc ..., whose head includes the ball joint housing.
  • the ball joints have a shape different from a spherical shape, for example a cylindrical shape, and that the ball joints have an appropriate corresponding shape.
