Abstract

There is disclosed a cleat having a Z-shaped cross section for finishing off the ceramic tiles on a step or the like, the cleat having a thin fastening leg provided with breakthroughs and adapted to underlie the ceramic tile on the step, perpendicular thereto a closing off-leg extending in front of the tile on the step and perpendicular to the latter a step-on leg at the edge of the step. The step-on leg has molded onto its top side a soft elastic cover strip which covers the cleat which, as a whole, is manufactured in a single piece from plastic material and which has a lip downwardly projecting beyond the step-on leg which acts with prestress against the cleat. A colored insert strip is embedded in the cover strip in the center in the lengthwise direction and covered by a transparent plastic strip.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Profil zum Abschließen von keramischen Platten auf einer Stufe oder dergleichen, bestehend aus einer Leiste mit Z-förmigem Querschnitt, welche einen dünnen mit Durchbrechungen versehenen Befestigungsschenkel, einen dazu senkrechten Abschlußschenkel und einen zu diesem senkrechten Auftrittsschenkel aufweist, an dessen Oberseite ein rutschhemmender Abdeckstreifen aus Kunststoff vorgesehen ist.The invention relates to a profile for closing ceramic plates on a step or the like, consisting of a strip with a Z-shaped cross-section, which has a thin fastening leg provided with openings, a perpendicular to this end leg and a vertical to this appearance leg, at the top thereof anti-slip plastic cover strip is provided.

Ein solches leistenartiges Profil ist aus DE-U 80 21 191 bekannt. Es hat insbesondere die Aufgabe, die erhöhte Putschgefahr auf Treppenstufen aus keramischen Plattenbelägen zu vermeiden. Aufgrund der geringen Stärke seines Befestigungsschenkels ist es ohne zusätzliche Aufbauhöhe unter den Keramikplatten einer Stufe zu befestigen. Der Auftrittsschenkel besitzt dabei mindestens zwei Befestigungsstellen für einen einzusprengenden rutschhemmenden Abdeckstreifen aus Gummi oder Kunststoff.Such a strip-like profile is known from DE-U 80 21 191. In particular, it has the task of avoiding the increased risk of coups on steps made of ceramic tile coverings. Due to the low strength of its mounting leg, it can be attached under the ceramic plates of one step without additional installation height. The tread leg has at least two attachment points for a rubber or plastic slip-resistant cover strip to be blasted.

Aus dem DE-U 1 787 750 ist ein Kantenschutz aus Kunststoff für Treppenstufen bekannt, der mit einem Abdeckstreifen unter einem spitzen Winkel nach unten abgewinkelt ist und mit einer Vorspannung eine zur Vorderseite einer Treppenstufe hin wirkende Lippe aufweist.From DE-U 1 787 750 an edge protector made of plastic for stairs is known, which is angled downward at an acute angle with a cover strip and has a lip that acts with a pretension towards the front of a step.

Aus der DE-A 2 122 623 ist außerdem ein Treppenkantenprofil aus Kunststoff bekannt, bei dem an der Oberseite eines Auftrittsschenkels überdeckend ein Abdeckstreifen vorgesehen ist. Der aus hartem Kunststoff gefertigte Auftrittsschenkel ist mit dem aus weichem Kunststoff bestehenden Abdeckstreifen verbunden.From DE-A 2 122 623 a stair nosing profile made of plastic is also known, in which a cover strip is provided overlapping on the upper side of a tread leg. The tread leg made of hard plastic is connected to the cover strip made of soft plastic.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht darin, ein Profil zum Abschließen von keramischen Platten auf einer Stufe oder dergleichen gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 vorzuschlagen, bei dem der als Sicherheitselement dienende Abdeckstreifen in optisch besonders stark herausgestellter Weise sicher mit dem Auftrittsschenkel zu verbinden ist.The object of the invention is to propose a profile for closing ceramic plates on one step or the like according to the preamble of claim 1, in which the cover strip serving as a security element is to be securely connected to the stepping leg in an optically particularly prominent manner.

Die Aufgabe wird durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.The object is achieved by the characterizing features of claim 1.

Ein solches Kunststoffprofil läßt sich mit den bekannten Fertigungstechniken und Vorrichtungen einstückig herstellen, sodaß eine Montage der rutschhemmenden Abdeckstreifen wie bei den bekannten Metallprofilen entsprechend der DE-U 8 021 191 entfällt. Dadurch wird auch die Gefahr des Loslösens dieser als Sicherheitselemente dienenden Abdeckstreifen vermieden. Der mittig in Längsrichtung im Abdeckstreifen eingelegte farbige Einlegestreifen ist vertieft angeordnet und von einem klarsichtigen Kunststoffstreifen überdeckt. Mit diesem farbigen Einlegestreifen wird ein optisch eindeutig erkennbares Sicherheitselement geschaffen, welches beispielsweise durch Zweifarbigkeit in Verbindung mit den angrenzenden Profilstegen erhöhte Aufmerksamkeit erregt und sicher am rutschhemmenden Abdeckstreifen gehalten ist.Such a plastic profile can be produced in one piece with the known manufacturing techniques and devices, so that an assembly of the anti-slip cover strips as in the known metal profiles according to DE-U 8 021 191 is not necessary. This also avoids the risk of these cover strips serving as security elements becoming detached. The colored insert strip inserted in the center in the longitudinal direction in the cover strip is recessed and covered by a clear plastic strip. This colored insert strip creates an optically clearly recognizable security element, which, for example, attracts increased attention due to the two colors in conjunction with the adjacent profile webs and is held securely on the anti-slip cover strip.

Anhand eines abgebildeten Ausführungsbeispieles wird die Erfindung im folgenden näher erläutert. Es zeigen:

Fig. 1
in einer prinzipiellen Schnittdarstellung den Kantenbereich einer mit Platten belegten Stufe, in der eine Leiste mit Z-förmigem Querschnitt eingesetzt ist
und
Fig. 2
eine vergrößerte Schnittdarstellung der verwendeten Leiste.
The invention is explained in more detail below on the basis of an illustrated exemplary embodiment. Show it:
Fig. 1
in a basic sectional view, the edge area of a step covered with plates, in which a strip with a Z-shaped cross section is inserted
and
Fig. 2
an enlarged sectional view of the bar used.

Auf einer rohen, beispielsweise aus Beton gegossenen Stufe 2 ist im Kantenbereich die insgesamt mit der Ziffer 1 bezeichnete Profilleiste aus Kunststoff mit einem Z-förmigen Querschnitt eingesetzt, auf welche von oben eine keramische Platte 3 aufgebracht und gegen welche in vertikaler Richtung ebenfalls eine keramische Platte 4 herangeführt ist. Die Leiste 1 und die Platten 3,4 sind bei dieser Ausführungsart einer Stufe im sogenannten Dünnbettverfahren verlegt, wobei zur Befestigung an der Stufe eine relativ dünne Kontaktschicht 5 aus Mörtel oder einem entsprechenden Kleber aufgebracht ist. In die obere Schicht ist der Befestigungsschenkel 11 der Leiste 1 eingebracht. Durch die Durchbrechungen 111 tritt der Mörtel bzw. der Kleber hindurch und verbindet in diesem Bereich die Unterseite der Platte 3 mit dem Untergrund.On a raw, for example cast concrete level 2 in the edge area, the overall profile number 1 made of plastic with a Z-shaped cross-section is inserted, onto which a ceramic plate 3 is applied and against which a ceramic plate is also applied in the vertical direction 4 is introduced. The strip 1 and the plates 3, 4 are laid in this embodiment of a step in the so-called thin-bed method, a relatively thin contact layer 5 made of mortar or a corresponding adhesive being applied to the step. The fastening leg 11 of the strip 1 is introduced into the upper layer. The mortar or adhesive passes through the openings 111 and connects the underside of the plate 3 to the substrate in this area.

Senkrecht zu dem Befestigungsschenkel 11 der einstückig aus Kunststoff hergestellten Leiste 1 steht der Abschlußschenkel 16, der etwa die gleiche Stärke aufweist. Senkrecht zum Abschlußschenkel 16 und parallel zum Befestigungsschenkel 11 steht der Auftrittsschenkel 12. Im Bereich dieser drei Schenkel ist das verwendete Kunststoffmaterial hart eingestellt.Perpendicular to the fastening leg 11 of the one-piece plastic strip 1 is the end leg 16, which has approximately the same thickness. The tread leg 12 is perpendicular to the end leg 16 and parallel to the fastening leg 11. The plastic material used is set hard in the region of these three legs.

An der Oberseite des Auftrittsschenkels 12 ist den Schenkel überdeckend ein weich eingestellter, elastischer, rutschhemmender Abdeckstreifen 14 angeformt. Nach innen hin ist am Abdeckstreifen 14 ein Verbreiterungssteg 13 angeformt. Nach außen ist am Abdeckstreifen 14 eine den Auftrittsschenkel 12 nach unten überragende, mit Vorspannung zur Leiste 1 hin wirkende Lippe 141 angeformt. An der Oberseite des Abdeckstreifens 14 bilden Stege 142 bzw. Vertiefungen die rutschhemmenden Elemente.A soft, elastic, non-slip cover strip 14 is formed on the upper side of the tread leg 12 so as to cover the leg. A widening web 13 is integrally formed on the cover strip 14. On the outside, a lip 141 is formed on the cover strip 14, which protrudes downward beyond the tread leg 12 and acts with pretension towards the bar 1. On the top of the cover strip 14, webs 142 or depressions form the anti-slip elements.

Wie aus Figur 1 ersichtlich, liegt die Lippe 141 nach dem Einbau der keramischen Platte 4 mit Druck an der Außenseite der Platte an und überdeckt die Fuge. An der Unterseite des Auftrittsschenkels 12 sind Kammern bildende Verklammerungsstege 121 und 122 angeformt, die im Ausführungsbeispiel im Querschnitt Schwalbenschwanzform besitzen.As can be seen from FIG. 1, after installation of the ceramic plate 4, the lip 141 bears with pressure on the outside of the plate and covers the joint. Clamping webs 121 and 122 forming chambers are formed on the underside of the tread leg 12 and, in the exemplary embodiment, have a dovetail shape in cross section.

Etwa mittig ist in Längsrichtung vertieft im angeformten Abdeckstreifen 14 ein farbiger Einlegestreifen 6 angeordnet, der von einem klarsichtigen Kunststoffstreifen 15 überdeckt wird. Dieser Kunststoffstreifen 15 ist ebenfalls angeformt.A colored insert strip 6, which is covered by a clear plastic strip 15, is arranged in the molded cover strip 14 approximately in the center in the longitudinal direction. This plastic strip 15 is also molded on.

Nach innen gerichtet ist am äußeren Ende des Abschlußschenkels 16 ein Steg 13 angeformt, der die spätere Fugenausbildung beeinflußt.Inwardly directed a web 13 is formed at the outer end of the end leg 16, which affects the subsequent joint formation.
