Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Abhängeschiene für Schilder, Tafeln oder dergleichen, insbesondere zur Verwendung als Halteschiene für Preisschilder und als Einhängeschiene für Aufhängeelemente der Abhängeschiene selbst und für Halteelemente von Informationsträgern, wobei das Profil der Abhängeschiene im wesentlichen Doppel-T-förmigen Querschnitt hat, wobei die einander gegenüberliegenden inneren Schenkelseiten der Querstege des T eine Rastnut zum Einklipsen von Schildern aufweist, und wobei an den äußeren Schenkelseiten der Querstege des T je eine nach außen geöffnete, längs verlaufende, insbesondere etwa C-förmige Nut zur Aufnahme von komplementäre Einhängemittel aufweisenden Aufhängeelementen und Halteelementen vorgesehen sind.The present invention relates to a hanging rail for signs, boards or the like, in particular for use as a holding rail for price tags and as a hanging rail for hanging elements of the hanging rail itself and for holding elements of information carriers, the profile of the hanging rail essentially having a double-T-shaped cross section , wherein the mutually opposite inner leg sides of the transverse webs of the T has a locking groove for clipping on signs, and wherein on the outer leg sides of the transverse webs of the T each have an outwardly open, longitudinally extending, in particular approximately C-shaped groove for receiving complementary suspension means Suspension elements and holding elements are provided.

Eine Abhängeschiene der gattungsgemäßen Art ist in der DE - GM 83 29 417 beschrieben. Dabei ist eine Doppel-T-förmige Schiene vorgesehen, die längs der Innenseiten der einander gegenüberliegenden Schenkelhälften der Querstege des T Nuten zum Einklipsen eines relativ schmalen Schildes aufweist, und die axialsymmetrisch zu den Außenseiten der Querstege des T C-förmige Nuten zur Führung und Halterung von Halteelementen einerseits und von Befestigungselementen für im allgemeinen große Schilder andererseits aufweist. Die bekannte Abhängeschiene umfaßt somit an den Längsseiten des Doppel-T-Profils eine Aufnahmenut für Halteelemente und eine dieser entgegengesetzte Aufnahmenut für Befestigungselemente; die Abhängeschiene ist somit im Abstand zu einer Raumdecke über die Halteelemente aufhängbar und hält längs der dann unteren C-förmingen Nut nach unten hängende Schilder oder dergleichen. (Grundsätzlich kann die Abhängeschiene jeweils um 180 Grad axial gedreht gleichermaßen verwandt werden.) Die bekannten Werbeträger sind so konzipiert, daß sie nur je für sich aufgehängt werden. Ist eine über die Länge einer Abhängeschiene hinaus erforderliche, homogen durchgängige Schiene notwendig, so lassen sich zwar mehrere Abhängeschienen nebeneinander hängen. Für eine Verbindung untereinander ist jedoch bei den bekannten Abhängeschienen weder etwas vorgesehen, noch ist eine derartige Verbindung ohne über- und/oder vorstehende zusätzliche Verbindungsmittel nicht möglich.A suspension rail of the generic type is described in DE - GM 83 29 417. A double-T-shaped rail is provided, which has along the inner sides of the opposing leg halves of the transverse webs of the T grooves for clipping in a relatively narrow shield, and which is axially symmetrical to the outer sides of the transverse webs of the T C-shaped grooves for guiding and holding has holding elements on the one hand and fasteners for generally large signs on the other. The known suspension rail thus comprises on the long sides of the double-T profile a receiving groove for holding elements and one opposite to this Mounting groove for fasteners; the suspension rail can thus be suspended at a distance from a ceiling via the holding elements and holds signs or the like hanging down along the then lower C-shaped groove. (Basically, the suspension rail can be used in the same way, rotated axially by 180 degrees.) The well-known advertising media are designed in such a way that they can only be hung up individually. If a homogeneous, continuous rail is required that is longer than the length of a suspension rail, several suspension rails can be hung next to each other. However, in the known suspension rails, there is neither anything provided for a connection to one another, nor is such a connection possible without projecting and / or projecting additional connecting means.

Es ist zwar denkbar, in die C-förmige Nut der unteren Längsseite des Doppel-T-Profils ein Verbindungsstück einzusetzen. Damit wäre jedoch der freie Lauf der C-förmigen Nut unterbrochen, so daß aufzuhängende Schilder oder dergleichen Tafeln nicht durchschiebbar sind.It is conceivable to insert a connecting piece into the C-shaped groove of the lower longitudinal side of the double-T profile. However, this would interrupt the free running of the C-shaped groove, so that signs or similar panels to be hung cannot be pushed through.

Die der vorliegenden Erfindung zugrunde liegende Aufgabe ist es, eine Abhängeschiene der gattungsgemäßen Art mit einer Aufnahme- / Führungnut konstruktiv so zu gestalten, daß sie form- und kraftschlüssig mit einer Abhängeschiene vergleichbarer oder gleicher .Art verbindbar ist, so daß die C-förmige Nut zur Aufnahme beziehungsweise Einhängung der Befestigungselemente kontinuierlich zwischen den miteinander verbundenen Abhängeschienen durchgeht und eine (stoßstellenfreie) fluchtende Verlängerung mehrerer Abhängeschienen möglich ist.The object underlying the present invention is to construct a suspension rail of the generic type with a receiving / guide groove so that it can be positively and non-positively connected to a suspension rail of a comparable or the same type, so that the C-shaped groove continuously passes between the interconnected suspension rails for receiving or attaching the fastening elements and a (jointless) aligned extension of several suspension rails is possible.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die im kennzeichnenden Teil des Patentanspruchs 1 angegebenen Merkmale gelöst.This object is achieved by the features specified in the characterizing part of patent claim 1.

In diese zusätzlichen Hinterschneidungen zweier aneinander anstoßender Abhängeschienen läßt sich so von der jeweiligen Stirnseite her ein Verbindungselement einführen, das die Abhängeschienen exakt zueinander ausrichtet. Wird dieses Verbindungselement so gestaltet, daß es reibschlüssig eingeführt werden muß, oder daß es in der lagerichtigen Position mechanisch fixiert wird, so sind die Abhängeschienen genau form- und kraftschlüssig aneinandergefügt.In these additional undercuts of two abutting hanger rails, a connecting element can be inserted from the respective end face, which precisely aligns the hanger rails. If this connecting element is designed in such a way that it has to be inserted with a friction fit, or that it is mechanically fixed in the correct position, the suspension rails are precisely and non-positively joined together.

Für im Winkel zueinander aufzuhängende Abhängeschienen sind die Verbindungselemente entsprechend winklig ausgebildet, so daß die auf Gehrung geschnittenen Abhängeschienen bündig und flächig aneinander anschließen (Anspruch 2). Die Verbindungselemente selbst sind als den Abmessungen der U-förmigen Hinterschneidungen entsprechende dünne Metallstreifen ausgebildet (Anspruch 3), die im montierten Zustand je zweier Abhängeschienen zwischen der C-förmigen Nut und dem Mittelsteg des T eingeschoben sind und somit die C-förmige Nut selbst unbeeinflußt lassen.For suspension rails to be suspended at an angle to one another, the connecting elements are correspondingly angled so that the suspension rails cut to miter connect flush and flat to one another (claim 2). The connecting elements themselves are designed as thin metal strips corresponding to the dimensions of the U-shaped undercuts (claim 3), which are inserted in the assembled state of two suspension rails between the C-shaped groove and the central web of the T and thus the C-shaped groove itself is not influenced to let.

Gemäß einer weiteren Ausgestaltung des Profils der Abhängeschiene ist vorgesehen, einen Quersteg des T breiter zu machen als den anderen (Anspruch 5). Auf der Grundlage dieses Profils mit ungleichen Querstegen des Doppel-T läßt sich ein Querschnitt gestalten, bei dem drei Schenkel im Winkel von etwa 12o Grad zueinander stehen (Anspruch 6). Damit ergibt sich eine funktionell gleichartige Abhängeschiene mit einem ästhetisch ansprechenden Aussehen.According to a further embodiment of the profile of the suspension rail, it is provided to make one crossbar of the T wider than the other (claim 5). On the basis of this profile with uneven transverse webs of the double-T, a cross-section can be designed in which three legs are at an angle of approximately 120 degrees to one another (claim 6). This results in a functionally similar suspension rail with an aesthetically pleasing appearance.

Weitere Ausgestaltungen und Ausbildungen im Hinblick auf die Abhängeschiene sind Gegenstand der weiteren Unteransprüche. Die Einzelheiten dieser Abhängeschiene werden im folgenden anhand der Zeichnung näher erläutert. Diese zeigt in

  • Fig. 1 ein erstes Ausführungsbeispiel der Abhängeschiene im Querschnitt;
  • Fig. 2 ein zweites Ausführungsbeispiel der Abhängeschiene im Querschnitt;
  • Fig. 3 eine Übergangsstelle zwischen zwei Abhängeschienen der in Fig. 1 gezeigten Art mit einem Verbindungselement und einem Formstück.
Further embodiments and training with regard to the suspension rail are the subject of the further subclaims. The details of this suspension rail are explained below with reference to the drawing. This shows in
  • Figure 1 shows a first embodiment of the suspension rail in cross section.
  • Fig. 2 shows a second embodiment of the suspension rail in cross section;
  • Fig. 3 shows a transition point between two suspension rails of the type shown in Fig. 1 with a connecting element and a fitting.

Die in Fig. 1 und Fig. 2 im Querschnitt gezeigten Abhängeschienen 1 sind aus Aluminium und zwar in Form von Stranggußprofilen hergestellt. Dies bedeutet, daß Stangenmaterial vorgegebener, fertigungstechnisch bestimmter Länge gegossen ist, von dem dann Abhängeschienen verwendungsspezifischer Länger abgelängt werden. Diese Abhängeschienen werden sodann gemäß der in DE - GM 83 29 417 gezeigten Art und Weise mit Schildern, Tafeln oder dergleichen Informationsanzeigen bestückt und aufgehängt.The suspension rails 1 shown in cross section in FIGS. 1 and 2 are made of aluminum and in the form of continuous cast profiles. This means that rod material of a predetermined length, cast in terms of production technology, is cast, from which suspension rails of use-specific lengths are then cut to length. These suspension rails are then fitted and hung with signs, boards or similar information displays in accordance with the manner shown in DE-GM 83 29 417.

Das in Fig. 1 gezeigte Profil besteht im Prinzip aus einem Doppel-T, dessen Höhe, d.h. Länge des Mittelstegs 2 beispielsweise schmalen Preisetiketten entsprechend gewählt ist. Die Querstege des T sind ungleich lang. Der schmale (obere) Quersteg 3 sei der, der zur Aufnahme von Halteelementen zur Aufhängung der Abhängeschiene 1 dient; der untere breitere Quersteg 4 dient dann zur Einhängung bzw. Befestigung der Schilder oder dergleichen und zur Einführung der Verbindungselemente.The profile shown in Fig. 1 consists in principle of a double T, the height, i.e. Length of the center bar 2, for example, narrow price labels is chosen accordingly. The crossbars of the T are not the same length. The narrow (upper) crossbar 3 is the one that serves to accommodate holding elements for hanging the suspension rail 1; the lower, wider crossbar 4 then serves to hang up or fasten the signs or the like and to introduce the connecting elements.

Die detaillierte Ausgestaltung der Querstege 3, 4 ist wie folgt:
Der obere Quersteg 3 weist an seinen vom Mittelsteg 2 ausgehenden Unterseiten im Abstand zu diesem je einen Rastvorsprung 31 auf, der gegenüber der Außenkante dieser Unterseiten jeweils zurücksteht. Damit entstehen zwischen den Rastvorsprüngen 31 und dem Mittelsteg 2 Rastnuten 32; randseitig entstehen an den genannten Unterseiten Hinterschneidungen 33, in die ggf. Klemmelemente der Halteelemente einklipsen können.
The detailed design of the crossbars 3, 4 is as follows:
The upper transverse web 3 has on its lower sides, starting from the central web 2, at a distance from each of them a latching projection 31, which protrudes from the outer edge of these lower sides. This creates 2 locking grooves 32 between the locking projections 31 and the central web; undercuts 33 are formed on the edges on the undersides mentioned, into which clamping elements of the holding elements can possibly clip.

Der obere Quersteg 3 ist weiter zur Außenseite hin so ausgebildet, daß er ein einer etwa C-förmigen Nut entsprechendes Profil zur Aufnahme und Halterung von Halteelementen bildet.The upper crosspiece 3 is further formed towards the outside so that it forms a profile corresponding to an approximately C-shaped groove for receiving and holding holding elements.

Der untere Quersteg 4 weist an seinen vom Mittelsteg 2 ausgehenden Oberseiten im Abstand zu diesem ebenfalls je einen Rastvorsprung 41 auf, und zwar im gleichen Abstand zum Mittelsteg 2 wie die Rastvorsprünge 31 des oberen Querstegs 3. Damit ergeben sich parallel zum Mittelsteg 2 längs der Abhängeschiene 1 zu bilden Seiten je zwei sich gegenüberliegende Rastvorsprünge 31, 41 mit Rastnuten 32, 42. In diese jeweils miteinander korrespondierenden Rastnuten 32, 42 auf einer Seite des Mittelstegs 2 werden wie bereits erwähnt zum Beispiel schmale Preisschilder eingeklemmt oder eingeklipst. Es können auch beispielsweise sogenannte Magnetstreifen eingeklipst werden, auf denen dann magnetische Informationsträger bzw. Informationszeichen beliebig aufgesetzt werden können.The lower transverse web 4 has on its upper sides emanating from the central web 2 at a distance from this also each a locking projection 41, namely at the same distance from the central web 2 as the locking projections 31 of the upper transverse web 3. This results in parallel to the central web 2 along the suspension rail 1 sides to form two opposing locking projections 31, 41 with locking grooves 32, 42. As already mentioned, narrow price tags, for example, are clamped or clipped into these corresponding locking grooves 32, 42 on one side of the central web 2. So-called magnetic strips can also be clipped in, for example, on which magnetic information carriers or information signs can then be placed as desired.

Die Unterseite des unteres Querstegs 4 bildet ebenfalls eine C-förmige Nut 44 zur Aufnahme und Führung von Befestigungselementen für Schilder oder dergleichen.The underside of the lower crosspiece 4 also forms a C-shaped groove 44 for receiving and guiding fastening elements for signs or the like.

Gemäß der vorliegenden Neuerung ist die letztgenannte C-förmige Nut 44 jedoch dahingehend weitergebildet, daß jeweils seitlich in den vom Quersteg selbst abstehenden Schenkeln 45 je eine U-förmige Hinterschneidung 46 vorgesehen ist. Parallel zur Ebene des unteren Querstegs 4 sind somit zwei in Längsrichtung der Abhängeschiene 1 verlaufende Führungsnuten vorgesehen, der äußere die Befestigungselemente für Schilder oder dergleichen aufnimmt, und in deren innere, und zwar jeweils im Bereich von Übergangsstellen zwischen zwei miteinander zu verbindenden Abhängeschienen 1 ein- strichpunktiert eingezeichnetes - Verbindungselement 2o eingesetzt werden kann.According to the present innovation, however, the latter C-shaped groove 44 is further developed such that a U-shaped undercut 46 is provided laterally in each of the legs 45 protruding from the crosspiece itself. Parallel to the plane of the lower crosspiece 4, two guide grooves are provided which run in the longitudinal direction of the suspension rail 1, the outer receiving the fastening elements for signs or the like, and in the interior thereof, specifically in the region of transition points between two suspension rails 1 to be connected to one another. dash-dotted line - connecting element 2o can be used.

Im Bereich des genannten Übergangs zwischen zwei Abhängeschienen 1 kann zusätzlich auch in die C-förmige Nut 34 des oberen Querstegs 3 ein - ebenfalls strichpunktiert gezeichnetes - Formstück 21 eingefügt werden, um die zu verbindenden Abhängeschienen 1 an beiden Querstegen 3, 4 form- und kraftschlüssig miteinander verbinden zu können.In the area of the mentioned transition between two suspension rails 1, a fitting 21, also shown in dash-dotted lines, can also be inserted into the C-shaped groove 34 of the upper crosspiece 3 in order to form-fit and non-positively the suspension rails 1 to be connected on both crosspieces 3, 4 to be able to connect with each other.

Das in Fig. 2 gezeigte - auf Querstegen unterschiedlicher Breite aufbauende - Profil einer Abhängeschiene 1 besteht aus drei Schenkeln 5, 6, 7, die paarweise unter einem Winkel von 12o Grad zueinander angeordnet sind. Jeder dieser Schenkel 5, 6, 7 weist an seinem radial äußeren Ende zwei relativ zu ihm unter etwa 3o Grad schräg nach hinten gerichtete Flanschvorsprünge 8, 9 auf, die symmetrisch zur Mittellinie bzw. Mittenebene des jeweiligen Schenkels 5, 6, 7 angeordnet sind. Dabei sind jeweils die an den einander zugewandten Seiten zweier Schenkel, z. B. 5 und 6, vorgesehenen Flanschvorsprünge 8, 9 zueinander ausgerichtet, so daß sie zusammen mit den benachbarten Schenkel 5, 6 einen Einschub für die genannten schmalen länglichen Schilder oder dergleichen bilden. Dieser Einschub entspricht der durch die Rastnuten 32, 42 gebildeten Führung in der Abhängeschiene 1 nach Fig. 1.The profile of a suspension rail 1 shown in FIG. 2, which is built on transverse webs of different widths, consists of three legs 5, 6, 7, which are arranged in pairs at an angle of 120 degrees to one another. Each of these legs 5, 6, 7 has at its radially outer end two flange projections 8, 9 which are directed obliquely backward at approximately 30 degrees relative to it and which are arranged symmetrically to the center line or center plane of the respective leg 5, 6, 7. In this case, the two sides, z. B. 5 and 6, provided flange projections 8, 9 to each other, so that they form an insert for the aforementioned narrow elongated signs or the like together with the adjacent legs 5, 6. This insert corresponds to the guide formed in the suspension rail 1 according to FIG. 1 by the locking grooves 32, 42.

Die beiden - in der Zeichnung nach Fig. 2 - unteren Schenkel 6, 7 weisen an ihrer Unterseite zwischen ihrem gemeinsamen Fußpunkt und den entsprechenden Flanschvorsprüngen 8, 9 parallel zu diesen verlaufende,, zueinander ausgerichtete flansch- oder leistenartige Stege 10, 10′ auf, die als Führung für die genannten Verbindungselemente 2o dienen, und somit mit der in der C-förmigen Nut 44 des unteren Querstegs 4 - nach Fig. 1 - integrierten zweiten Führungsnut korrespondieren.The two - in the drawing of Fig. 2 - lower legs 6, 7 have on their underside between their common base and the corresponding flange projections 8, 9 running parallel to them, aligned flange or strip-like webs 10, 10 ', which serve as a guide for the above-mentioned connecting elements 20, and thus correspond to the second guide groove integrated in the C-shaped groove 44 of the lower transverse web 4 - according to FIG. 1.

Am oberen Quersteg 3 des - in Fig. 2 - vertikalen, oberen Schenkels 5 schließt die zur Bildung der Führung für die Halteelemente vorgesehene Nut an, die hier als rinnenförmige Nut 12 ausgebildet ist. Zwischen der Außenseite dieser Nut 12 und den Flanschvorsprüngen 8, 9 am oberen Quersteg 3 sind ebenfalls den Hinterschneidungen 33 nach Fig. 1 entsprechende Hinterschneidungen vorgesehen, in die entsprechende Klammern der Halteelemente einklipsen können.On the upper crosspiece 3 of the - in Fig. 2 - vertical, upper leg 5 closes to form the guide for the Holding elements provided groove, which is designed here as a groove-shaped groove 12. Between the outside of this groove 12 and the flange projections 8, 9 on the upper crosspiece 3, the undercuts 33 according to FIG. 1 are also provided with undercuts into which corresponding clips of the holding elements can clip.

Fig. 3 zeigt eine Übergangsstelle zwischen zwei aneinander anschließenden Abhängeschienen 1, 1′ im Längsschnitt.Fig. 3 shows a transition point between two adjoining suspension rails 1, 1 'in longitudinal section.

Die beiden Abhängeschienen 1, 1′ stoßen stumpf aneinander; längs der C-förmigen Nuten 34, 44 im oberen und unteren Quersteg 3, 4 der beiden Abhängeschienen 1, 1′ können Haltelemente und Befestigungselemente für den jeweiligen Zweck eingehängt bzw. eingeklipst werden. Derartige Halteelemente und Befestigungselemente sind in vielfältiger Art und Konzeption bekannt, z. B. als Haken, als Klammern, als Ringösen, und sie sind der Nutform entsprechend ausgebildet. Insofern sind die C-förmigen Nuten 34, 44 der Abhängeschiene den gängigen Elementen entsprechend profiliert.The two suspension rails 1, 1 'butt against each other; along the C-shaped grooves 34, 44 in the upper and lower transverse web 3, 4 of the two suspension rails 1, 1 ', holding elements and fastening elements can be hooked in or clipped in for the respective purpose. Such holding elements and fasteners are known in many different ways and conception, for. B. as a hook, as clips, as eyelets, and they are designed according to the groove shape. In this respect, the C-shaped grooves 34, 44 of the suspension rail are profiled according to the common elements.

In der neuerungsgemäßen zweiten Führungsnut der C-förmigen Nuten 44, 44′, d. h. in den U-förmigen Hinterschneidungen 46 ist nunmehr ein Verbindungselement 2o eingeschoben, das die beiden Abhängeschienen 1, 1′ zueinander ausrichtet und in dieser Position hält. Das Verbindungselement 2o ist der Form der U-förmigen Hinterschneidung 46 entsprechend ausgebildet und kann mittels Reibsitz oder mechanischer Verkeilung mit den Abhängeschienen 1, 1′ selbst verbunden werden. Diese sind dann form- und kraftschlüssig aneinander angefügt.In the new second guide groove of the C-shaped grooves 44, 44 ', d. H. in the U-shaped undercuts 46, a connecting element 2o is now inserted, which aligns the two suspension rails 1, 1 'to each other and holds in this position. The connecting element 2o is designed in accordance with the shape of the U-shaped undercut 46 and can itself be connected by means of a friction fit or mechanical wedging to the hanging rails 1, 1 '. These are then attached to one another in a positive and non-positive manner.

Um eine zusätzlich Stabilisierung auch im Bereich der oberen Querstege 3, 3′ zu erhalten, kann im Übergangsbereich zwischen den benachbarten Abhängeschienen 1, 1′ ein der C-förmigen Nut 34 im oberen Quersteg 3, 3′ angepaßtes Formstück 21 eingesetzt und ggf. eingeschraubt werden, so daß die Abhängeschienen 1, 1′ über ihren gesamten aneinander anliegenden Querschnitt zueinander fixiert sind.In order to obtain an additional stabilization in the area of the upper crosspieces 3, 3 ', can in the transition area between the adjacent suspension rails 1, 1 'one of the C-shaped groove 34 in the upper crosspiece 3, 3' adapted fitting 21 are inserted and screwed in, if necessary, so that the suspension rails 1, 1 'are fixed to each other over their entire abutting cross section.

Am freien Ende sind die Abhängeschienen 1 jeweils über form- und kraftschlüssig am Profil aufgesetzte Abschlußkappen abgedeckt.At the free end, the suspension rails 1 are each covered by end caps which are positively and non-positively attached to the profile.

Verbindungselement 2o und Formstück 21 sind als einfache metallische Einsätze realisierbar; sie sind bezüglich ihres Querschnitts nur den anhand von Fig. 1 beschriebenen Führungsnuten bzw. C-förmigen Nuten, bzw. dem anhand von Fig. 2 beschriebenen Einschub und der rinnenförmigen Nut anzupassen.Connecting element 2o and fitting 21 can be realized as simple metallic inserts; with regard to their cross-section, they are only to be adapted to the guide grooves or C-shaped grooves described with reference to FIG. 1, or to the insert and the groove-shaped groove described with reference to FIG. 2.

In Weiterbildung dieser Verbindungselemente und Formstükke ist es jedoch möglich, diese in einem separaten Zwischenstück mit dem Profil der Abhängeschienen 1, 1′ zu fixieren, von dem dann beidseitig das Verbindungselement 2o und das Formstück 21 absteht. Diese separaten Zwischenstücke können dann jeweils einfach zwischen zwei zu verbindende Abhängeschienen 1, 1′ eingefügt und fixiert werden. Der Vorteil dieses Zwischenstücks besteht darin, daß zur Montage jeweils nur ein Bauteil erforderlich ist.In a further development of these connecting elements and fittings, it is possible to fix them in a separate intermediate piece with the profile of the suspension rails 1, 1 ', from which the connecting element 2o and the fitting 21 protrude on both sides. These separate intermediate pieces can then be easily inserted and fixed between two suspension rails 1, 1 'to be connected. The advantage of this intermediate piece is that only one component is required for assembly.

Abhängeschienen 1, 1′ können auch im Winkel zueinander aufgehängt werden. Dazu müssen sie nur auf Gehrung geschnitten werden und die Verbindungselemente, sowie ggf. die Formstücke als entsprechende Winkelelemente auszubilden. Separate Zwischenstücke der vorgenannten Art sind auch mit derartigen Winkelelementen realisierbar.Suspension rails 1, 1 'can also be hung at an angle to each other. To do this, they only need to be mitred and to form the connecting elements and, if necessary, the fittings as corresponding angle elements. Separate intermediate pieces of the aforementioned type can also be realized with such angle elements.

Prinzipiell ist es natürlich möglich, die Abhängeschiene am breiteren Quersteg aufzuhängen und dafür die Schilder etc. am schmaleren Quersteg einzuklipsen.In principle, it is of course possible to hang the suspension rail on the wider crossbar and to clip in the signs etc. on the narrower crossbar.
