Definitions

  • the invention relates to a terrace system and a fastening element for fastening a first and second visible profile, in particular a terrace profile, to a substructure, the fastening element having two opposite broad sides, longitudinal sides and front sides, with a base plate which is designed to engage in opposite grooves on mutually facing profile longitudinal sides of the first and second visible profile, with a first and a second spring element, which protrude from the base plate on the first broad side of the fastening element and are designed to bear resiliently against the groove of the second visible profile, with the first and second spring element starting from the base plate to their respective free end extending parallel to one another in the direction of the second longitudinal side, with a spacer extending from and protruding from the base plate for spacing the first and second visible profiles from one another nander and with a first mounting opening for a fastener.
  • a fastening element which, on the one hand, uses two spacers to define the minimum distance between two end faces of adjoining visible profiles and, on the other hand, uses its base plate to hold the visible profiles to a substructure by engaging the grooves on the longitudinal sides of the profile of the two visible profiles.
  • the fastening element itself is fastened to the substructure using a self-tapping screw as a fastening means, with the screw passing through a central assembly opening on the base plate for this purpose.
  • the invention has therefore set itself the task of changing the construction of a fastening element of the type described at the outset in order to facilitate the assembly of visible profiles.
  • the invention solves the problem set by the features of claim 1.
  • the spacer is arranged between the first and second spring element and has the first assembly opening, the risk of an undesired twisting of the fastening element when it is tightened onto a substructure can be significantly reduced. This is not only because the distance between the mounting opening and the spacer, which is the case in the prior art, is eliminated - but also because a fastening means can be positioned between the first and second visible profile by arranging the spacer between the first and second spring elements.
  • the assembly opening is also easier to reach, since it extends further into the open gap between the two viewing profiles and is easier to recognize and look into.
  • the spacer can serve as a guide for a fastening element in order to facilitate secure assembly.
  • the fastening means according to the invention is therefore suitable for ensuring particularly simple, stable and positionally stable assembly, with excessive tightening torques being prevented and their undesirable effects reduced.
  • the assembly is further facilitated in that the first and second spring element and the spacer of the base plate are arranged on the first broad side of the fastening element.
  • the fastening element can be aligned in a particularly simple and reliable manner—it is also possible, for example during maintenance work, to check the essential features for the function of the fastening element particularly easily.
  • the first and second spring elements preferably extend from the first longitudinal side of the fastening element in the direction of the second longitudinal side of the fastening element.
  • Such spring elements which are comparatively long in this way, can, for example, improve the clamping of the fastening element in a groove of the second visible profile and thus further facilitate its assembly.
  • the manufacture of such spring elements on a fastening element is also comparatively simple.
  • first spring element is arranged on the first end face of the fastening element and the second spring element is arranged on the second end face of the fastening element, the dimensions of the fastening element can be reduced and design and manufacture can be further simplified.
  • first and second spring element each have a first longitudinal section that runs away from the base plate and a second longitudinal section that runs towards the second broad side of the fastening element.
  • the spring element can be clamped in the groove of a longitudinal side of the profile.
  • the second longitudinal section preferably has the respective free end of the spring element, in order to facilitate the insertion of the fastening element into a groove of the second visible profile.
  • the handling of the fastening element during assembly can be further improved if the spacer is arranged centrally on the base plate.
  • the first assembly opening is preferably arranged centrally on the spacer, which distributes the load from the tightening torque of the fastening means evenly over the spacer and avoids incorrect loads. This can further facilitate the assembly of the fastening element.
  • the height of the spacer can exceed the first and second spring element. This can be of particular advantage during assembly of the fastening element when the spring elements have not yet been inserted into the relevant groove of the second visible profile and they are in a spring-open position.
  • the spacer can have a trapezoidal outer contour in cross section, which can contribute to increasing the mechanical stability and that of the fastening element and can also ensure stable distribution of the tightening force of a fastening element.
  • the fastening of the fastening element to the substructure can be further improved if a second assembly opening is provided in the base plate between the spacer and the first spring element and a third assembly opening is provided between the spacer and the second spring element.
  • the first mounting hole penetrates the spacer and the base plate to further facilitate attachment of the fastener to the substructure.
  • the construction and assembly of the fastening element can be facilitated if the base plate is flat on the second broad side of the fastening element. If the fastening element is formed in one piece, its manufacture can be simplified and the costs thereof reduced - particularly if it is made from a plastics material, preferably by an injection molding process.
  • the base plate can each have a recess along the spring elements in order to increase the mobility of the spring elements.
  • the fastening element according to the invention is used in a terrace system with a first and a second visible profile and with a substructure in order to hold the two visible profiles on the substructure or to fasten them to the substructure.
  • the base plate of the fastening element preferably engages in grooves in the first and second visible profile.
  • the spring elements are preferably in resilient contact with the groove of the second visible profile.
  • the long sides of the profile of the first and second visible profile preferably rest against the spacer.
  • the first broad side of the fastening element preferably faces away from the substructure.
  • Terrace system 100 shown has several, namely two, visible profiles 1, 2 and a fastening element 3, which the first and second visible profile 1, 2 to a substructure 4, for example to a Ground, clamps and fastens with it.
  • the two visible profiles 1, 2 are preferably terrace profiles and/or have a solid wood profile and/or are designed as floorboards.
  • the fastening element 3 with two opposite broad sides 3a, 3b, two opposite long sides 3c, 3d and two opposite end faces 3e, 3f, has a base plate 5, two resilient spring elements 6, 7, a spacer 8 and a mounting opening 9 .
  • the base plate 5 is longer and wider than the spacer 8 and is designed to engage in the opposing grooves 1a, 1b of profile longitudinal sides 1b, 2b of the two visible profiles 1, 2 that face one another. This is done - as in 1 to recognize - by the base plate 5 in both grooves 1a, 1b of the first visible profile 1 and the second visible profile 2 protrudes.
  • the first and the second spring element 6, 7 protrude from the base plate 5 on the first broad side 3a of the fastening element 3, as in FIG 4 to recognize.
  • the first broad side 3a can be regarded as the upper side of the fastening element 3 and the second broad side 3b as the lower side of the fastening element 3.
  • Both spring elements 6, 7 rest against the groove 2a of the second visible profile 2, and thus fix the fastening element 3 in its position.
  • the first spring element 6 and the second spring element 7 run parallel.
  • the two spring elements 6, 7 each extend from the base plate 5 on the first broad side 3a to their respective free end 6a, 7a in the direction of the second longitudinal side 3d.
  • the two spring elements 6, 7 preferably run normal to the first and/or second longitudinal side 3c, 3d.
  • the spacer 8 starts from the base plate 5 and protrudes from the base plate 5 and defines the minimum distance between the two visible profiles 1, 2 with its width as a stop.
  • a first mounting opening 9 on the fastening element 3 is used to fasten the fastening element 3 to the substructure 4 by having a fastening means 10, namely a wood screw, pass through this mounting opening 9.
  • the fastening means 10 presses down the fastening element 3, which in turn holds down the first and second visible profile 1, 2 via the base plate 5 engaging in their grooves 1a, 2a and thus fastens it to the substructure 4.
  • the spacer 8 is now arranged between the first and second spring element 6 , 7 and also has the first assembly opening 9 .
  • the arrangement of the first assembly opening 9 on the spacer 8 and between the spring elements 6, 7 is characterized in that the fastening element 3 does not twist even with a high tightening torque on the fastening means 10. The distance set between the two visible profiles 1, 2 is therefore always maintained, which makes assembly considerably easier.
  • the first and second spring element 6 , 7 and the spacer 8 of the base plate 5 are arranged on the first broad side 3a of the fastening element 3 .
  • first and second spring element 6, 7 extend from the first longitudinal side 3c of the fastening element 3 in the direction of their free end 6a, 7a to the second longitudinal side 3d of the fastening element 3.
  • these two spring elements 6, 7 are each on one end 3e or 3f of the fastening element 3 is provided, which leads in particular to compact outer dimensions on the fastening element 3.
  • the base plate 5 preferably has a recess 13a, 13b along each of the spring elements 6, 7. This can increase the mobility of the spring elements 6, 7, for example.
  • the first and second spring element 6, 7 each have two longitudinal sections 6b, 6c or 7b, 7c.
  • the first longitudinal section 6b or 7b starts from the base plate 5 and runs away from the base plate 5, as in FIG 4 can be recognized.
  • the second longitudinal section 6c or 7c runs towards the base plate 5 or the second broad side 3b of the fastening element 3 and has the respective free end 6a or 7a of the spring element 6, 7.
  • the spring element 6, 7 can thus be inserted into the groove 2a of the second visible profile 2 in a manner which is easy to handle. Symmetrical relationships in the dimensions for an even distribution of force result when the spacer 8 is arranged centrally on the base plate 5 and the first assembly opening 9 is arranged centrally on the spacer 8 .
  • the spacer 8 protrudes in height from the first and second spring element 6, 7, as a result of which the spacer 8 can always have exposed stop surfaces. This despite the arrangement of the spring elements 6, 7 on the same broad side 3a of the fastening element 3.
  • the spacer 8 has a trapezoidal outer contour 8a in longitudinal section in order to be able to distribute the tightening forces of the fastening means 10 on the base plate 5 in a stable manner.
  • a second and a third assembly opening 11, 12 are also provided on the fastening element 3 - namely on the base plate 5. These assembly openings 11, 12 are between the spacer 8 and the first and second spring element 6, 7 arranged and improve the mounting conditions of the fastener 3.
  • the first mounting opening 9 penetrates the spacer 8 and the base plate 5 - whereby the mounting means 10 can be easily provided on the fastening element 3.
  • the base plate 5 is flat on the second broad side 3b of the fastening element 3 in order to facilitate the positioning of the fastening element 3 in the respective groove 1a, 2a of the two visible profiles 1, 2.
  • the fastening element 3 consisting of a plastic material is also designed in one piece and can therefore be produced inexpensively.
  • the fastening element 3 holds the two visible profiles 1, 2 on the substructure 4.
  • the base plate 5 of the fastening element 3 protrudes into both grooves 1a, 2a of the two visible profiles 1, 2.
  • the first and second spring element 6, 7 are resiliently against the groove 2a of the second profile 2 sight.
  • the first broad side 3b of the fastening element 3 faces away from the substructure 4 .
  • the second broad side 3b of the fastening element 3 is opposite the substructure 4 .
