Sinrichtung zur fugenlosen Verbindung von Bauteilen Die Erfindungbezieht sich auf eine Einrichtung zur fugenlosen Verbindung von Bauteilen, vorzugsweisevon Bauplatten, Fussbodenplatten, Wandplatten oder dergleichen, die an den Rändernnut- und federartige Emgriffselemente auSweisen. Device for seamless connection of components The inventionrelates to a device for the seamless connection of components, preferablyof building panels, floor panels, wall panels or the like, which are at the edgeshave tongue and groove-like gripping elements.
Bei derartigen Bausätzen verleihen die nut- und federartigen Eingriffselementeden zusammengestellten Bauteilen Stabilität nur in einer z.B. senkrecht zur Ebeneder Bussbodenplatte verlaufenden Richtung. Ein seitlicher Halt wird den zusammengestelltenBauteilen üblicherweise durch Randleisten gegeben, welche etwa die Bussbodenplattean der Peripherie umspannen. Die Befestigung und vor allem die Verspannung solcherRandleisten erfordert erhebliches manuelles Geschick und Kraft.In such kits, the tongue and groove-like engagement elements givethe assembled components stability only in one e.g. perpendicular to the planethe direction of the bus floor panel. A lateral hold is the collatedComponents are usually given by edge strips, such as the bus floor panelspan around the periphery. The fastening and especially the bracing of suchEdge ridges require considerable manual skill and strength.
Die Nachteile der bekannten Einrichtungen zur fugenlosen Verbindungvon Bauteilen werden erfindungsgemäss vermieden durch im wesentlichen U-förmigeVerbindungsbügelj deren freie Schenkel paarweise gegenüberliegende Schultern anden Rändern benachbarter Bauteile vorzugsweise federnd umfassen und an einer oderbeiden Innenseiten keilförmig sich öffnende Schrägen aufweisen, die bei AusübungeinesDruckes auf das oder die zu verbindenden Bauteile in Richtungdes unfreien Bügelendes eine erzwungene Annaherung der zusammengehörenden Eingriffselementebis in ihre End--stellung gestatten. Durch die besondere Ausgestaltung der Verbindungsbügelwird erreicht, dass die nut- und federartigen Eingriffselemente zwangsläu£ig undselbstjustierend zusammengefügt werden können. Von besonderem Vorteil ist dabei,dass das Zusammenfügen der verschiedenen Bauteile, etwa der Plattenelemente einerFussbodenplatte, in einem einzigen Arbeitsschritt, nämlich mit dem Eindrücken indie Verbindungsbügel, geschehen kann, wonach die Bauteile in zwei senkrecht aufeinanderstehendenRichtungen arretiert sind. Zur Erstellung einer Fussbodenplatte etwa werden dieeinzelnen Plattenelemente zunächst auf dem Fussboden lose nebeneinander gelegt derart,dass die federartigen Eingriffselemente der einen Plattenelemente lose auf den Rändernder anderen Plattenelemente, an welchen bereits die Verbindungsbügel befestigt wurden,aufliegen. Durch leichten Druck auf die Ränder der aufliegenden Plattenelementeerfolgt nun die endgültige Verbindung der Plattenelemente, womit infolge der Spannwirkungder Verbindungsbügel eine fugenlose Verbindung der Plattenelemente geschaffen ist.The disadvantages of the known devices for seamless connectionof components are avoided according to the invention by essentially U-shapedConnecting brackets attach their free legs to opposing shoulders in pairsthe edges of adjacent components preferably include resilient and on one orboth inner sides have bevels that open in the shape of a wedge, which when exercisedonePressure on the component or components to be connected in the directionof the non-free end of the temple a forced approach of the interlocking elements that belong togetherallow to their end position. Due to the special design of the connecting bracketit is achieved that the tongue and groove-like engagement elements inevitably andcan be assembled in a self-adjusting manner. It is of particular advantage thatthat the joining of the various components, such as the plate elements of aFloor panel, in a single work step, namely by pressing intothe connecting bracket, can be done, after which the components in two perpendicular to each otherDirections are locked. To create a floor slab, for example, theindividual panel elements initially loosely placed next to each other on the floor in such a way thatthat the spring-like engaging elements of the one plate elements loosely on the edgesthe other plate elements to which the connecting brackets have already been attached,rest. By light pressure on the edges of the plate elements on topNow the final connection of the plate elements takes place, which is due to the tensioning effectthe connecting bracket creates a seamless connection between the panel elements.
Eine weitere Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist dadurch gegeben, dassdie Schultern der zu verbindenden Bauteile mit Einschnitten versehen sind, in welchedie Stege der Verbindungsbügel vorzugsweise kraftschlüssig einlegbar sind. Das Bestückender Bauteile mit den Verbindungsbiigeln und das lose Zusammenstellen sämtlicherBauteile wird dadurch wesentlich erleichtert. Dabei ist insbesondere bei Fussbodenplattenvon Vorteil, dass die Verbindungsbügel verdeckt in die Bauteile eingefügt sind undnicht über die untere Begrenzung der Plattenelemente hinausragen.Another embodiment of the invention is given in thatthe shoulders of the components to be connected are provided with incisions in whichthe webs of the connecting brackets can preferably be inserted in a non-positive manner. The assemblythe components with the connecting bolts and the loose assembly of allThis makes components much easier. This is particularly the case with floor panelsIt is advantageous that the connecting brackets are hidden in the components anddo not protrude beyond the lower limit of the plate elements.

Beim Zusammenfügen dieser Bauteile1 greifen die nut- und federartigen Eingriffselemente 2 und 3 ineinander und verleihender Fussbodenplatte Stabilität in einerRichtung, die senkrecht zur Plattenebeneverläuft.In Fig. 1 there are three identical plate-like and diamond-shaped components1, which are made of plastic. These components 1 should, for examplecan be joined together to form a dimensionally stable floor panel. In Fig. 2 there are twosuch components 1 shown in side view. The figures clearly show thateach component on two edges with spring-like engagement elements 2 and on the tworemaining edges are equipped with groove-like engagement elements 3. In Fig.1 shows the underside of the floor panel. When assembling these components1, the tongue and groove-like engagement elements 2 and 3 interlock and lendthe floor slab stability in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the slabruns.
Mit 4 sind U-förmige Verbindungsbügel bezeichnet, welche im Ausführungsbeispielaus einem hart-elastischen Eunststoff bestehen. Die freien Schenkel 5 und 6 einessolchenVerbindungsbügels 4 sind formstabil und klotzartig auagebildetund sind verbunden durch einen Steg 7 schwächeren Querschnitts, welcher federnddurchbiegbar ist. Diese Verbindungsbllgel 4 geben den zusammengefügten Bauteilen1 eine seitliche Stabilität, Fig. 2 zeigt, in welcher Weise das Zusammenfügen zweierBauteile 1 unter Verwendung der Verbindungsbügel 4 vorgenommen werden kann. DieInnenseiten der freien Schenkel 5 und 6 weisen keilförmig sich öffnende Schrägen8 und 9 auf.With 4 U-shaped connecting brackets are designated, which in the embodimentconsist of a hard-elastic plastic. The free legs 5 and 6 of onesuchConnecting brackets 4 are dimensionally stable and have a block-like designand are connected by a web 7 of weaker cross-section, which is resilientis deflectable. These connecting balls 4 give the assembled components1 shows a lateral stability, FIG. 2 shows the way in which the joining of twoComponents 1 can be made using the connecting bracket 4. theInner sides of the free legs 5 and 6 have bevels that open in a wedge shape8 and 9 on.
Mit den Innenseiten der Schenkel 5, 6 umfaßt der Verbindungsbügel4 zwei an den Rändern angeordnete Schultern 10 und 11 im zusammengefügten Zustand.Zum Verbinden der beiden Bauteile 1 wird zunächst der Verbindungßbügel 4 auf dieUnterseite des einen Bauteiles 1 aufgebracht, derart, dass der Schenkel 6 die Schulter11 umgreift.With the inner sides of the legs 5, 6, the connecting bracket includes4 two shoulders 10 and 11 arranged at the edges in the assembled state.To connect the two components 1, the connecting bracket 4 is first on theUnderside of one component 1 applied in such a way that the leg 6 is the shoulder11 encompasses.
Dieses Bauteil 1 wird zusammen mit dem Verbindungsbügel 4 bzw. mitmehreren Verbindungsbügeln auf dem Fussboden plaziert. Nun wird das andere Bauteil1 so an das vorgenannte Bauteil gelegt, dass die Federseite des einen Bauteils inHöhe der Nutseite des anderen Bauteils zu liegen kommt. Durch leichten Druck inPfeilrichtung gleitet nun die Schulter 10 des Bauteiles 1 auf der Schräge 8, wobeisich das Eingriffselement 2 gezwungenermassen dem Eingriffselement 3 bis zur endgültigenRaststellung nähert.This component 1 is together with the connecting bracket 4 or withseveral connecting brackets placed on the floor. Now the other component is1 placed on the aforementioned component in such a way that the spring side of one component is inThe height of the groove side of the other component comes to rest. By applying slight pressure inThe direction of the arrow now slides the shoulder 10 of the component 1 on the slope 8, withthe engagement element 2 is forced to the engagement element 3 until the finalLocking position is approaching.
Diese präzise, zwangsläufige Zusammenführung der Eingriffselemente2 und 3 wird durch die Elastizität des Verbindungsbügels 4 und/oder der Bauteile1 bzw. des Eingriffselementes 2 erleichtert. Ein Lösen der beschriebenen Verbindungist in ainfacher Weise möglich, indem die Fussbodenplatte an den Verbindungsstellenangehoben wird.This precise, inevitable bringing together of the engagement elements2 and 3 is due to the elasticity of the connecting bracket 4 and / or the components1 or the engagement element 2 facilitated. A loosening of the connection describedis possible in a simple way by placing the floor plate at the connection pointsis raised.
