Abstract

The invention relates to a profiled rail (1) for floor coverings, in particular for carpets, having pin-type attachment parts (7) which are to be anchored in the floor and engage with a widened head (6) in an undercut longitudinal groove (5) on the underside of the profiled rail. In order to improve a profiled rail in such as way that the installation of the profiled rail is simpler, the longitudinal groove is to have a clear height corresponding to the height of the head on the attachment part. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betriftt eine Profilschiene für Bodenbeläge, insbesondere für Teppiche, mit im Boden zu verankernden, stiftartigen Befestigungsteilen, die mit einem verbreiterten Kopf in eine hinterschnittene Längsnut an der Unterseite der Profilschiene eingreifen.The invention relates to a profile rail for floor coverings, in particular for carpets, with pin-like fastening parts to be anchored in the floor, which engage with an enlarged head in an undercut longitudinal groove on the underside of the profile rail.

Bei einer gattungsgemäßen Profilschiene (DE-GM 86 11 918) ist die Profilschiene ein Hohlprofil, welches an seiner Unterseite einen Längsschlitz aufweist. Die Befestigungsteile besitzen verdickte Köpfe mit abgerundeten Begrenzungsflächen. Zum Verlegen der Profilschiene werden zunächst die Befestigungsteile soweit in den Boden eingeschraubt oder eingesetzt, daß ihre Köpfe mit einem hinreichenden Abstand über die Teppichebene derart vorstehen, daß die Profilschiene mit ihrem Längsschlitz über die Köpfe gedrückt werden kann. Wenn die Höhe der Köpfe der Befestigungsteile nicht den richtigen Abstand zur Teppichebene haben, können entweder die Längskanten des Längsschlitzes nicht unter die Köpfe greifen oder sie haben dort zuviel Spiel. Die Profilschiene muß dann wieder gelöst werden, um die Höhe der Köpfe der Befestigungsteile neu einzustellen.In the case of a generic profile rail (DE-GM 86 11 918), the profile rail is a hollow profile which has a longitudinal slot on its underside. The fasteners have thickened heads with rounded boundary surfaces. To lay the profile rail, the fastening parts are first screwed or inserted so far into the floor that their heads protrude a sufficient distance above the carpet level in such a way that the profile rail can be pressed over the heads with its longitudinal slot. If the height of the fastener heads is not the correct distance from the carpet level, either the longitudinal edges of the longitudinal slot cannot reach under the heads or they have too much play there. The profile rail must then be released again to readjust the height of the heads of the fastening parts.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Profilschiene der eingangs beschriebenen Gattung so zu verbessern, daß das Verlegen der Profilschiene einfacher ist.The object of the invention is to improve a rail of the type described above so that the laying of the rail is easier.

Diese Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, daß die Längsnut eine lichte Höhe aufweist, die der Höhe des Kopfes am Befestigungsteil entspricht. Bei Einsatz dieser Befestigungsschiene werden zunächst, wie üblich, Löcher in den Boden gebohrt. Dann werden die Befestigungsteile mit ihren Köpfen in die Längsnut an der Unterseite der Profilschiene eingeführt und dann werden die Stifte der Befestigungsteile in die zugeordneten Löcher des Boden eingedrückt. Da die Köpfe des Befestigungsteil jedenfalls in Richtung der Längsachse der Befestigungsteile nahezu spielfrei in der Längsnut geführt sind, können durch Druck auf die Oberseite der Profilschiene die Stifte der Befestigungsteile ohne Schwierigkeit soweit in die zugeordneten Löcher des Boden eingedrückt werden, bis die Profilschiene in der gewünschten Weise auf dem Bodenbelag bzw. dem Teppich aufliegt.This object is achieved in that the longitudinal groove has a clear height which corresponds to the height of the head on the fastening part. When using this mounting rail, holes are first drilled in the ground as usual. Then the fasteners are inserted with their heads into the longitudinal groove on the underside of the profile rail and then the pins of the fasteners are pressed into the associated holes in the floor. Since the heads of the fastening part are guided in the longitudinal groove almost without play in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the fastening parts, the pins of the fastening parts can be pressed into the associated holes in the floor without difficulty by pressing on the upper side of the mounting rail until the mounting rail is in the desired position Way lies on the flooring or the carpet.

Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführung entspricht der Querschnitt der Längsnut dem Querschnitt des Kopfes am Befestigungsteil, gesehen in einer Projektion auf die Längsachse des Befestigungsteils. Vorzugsweise kann der Kopf des Befestigungsteils, gesehen in Richtung der Längsachse des Befestigungsteils, einen rechteckigen bis quadratischen Grundriß aufweisen. Das garantiert eine gute Führung der Befestigungsteile in der Längsnut.In a preferred embodiment, the cross section of the longitudinal groove corresponds to the cross section of the head on the fastening part, seen in a projection onto the longitudinal axis of the fastening part. The head of the fastening part, as viewed in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the fastening part, can preferably have a rectangular to square outline. This guarantees good guidance of the fastening parts in the longitudinal groove.

Die Befestigungsteile können Stifte aufweisen, die in geeigneter Form so ausgebildet sind, daß sie nach dem Eintreiben in die zugeordneten Löcher des Bodens dort selbsthemmend gehalten sind. Dabei können die Stifte nach Art von Schrauben, Dübeln oder dergleichen ausgebildet sein. Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführung der Erfindung ist der Außenumfang des Stiftes des Befestigungsteils mit einer Mehrzahl von sich radial erstreckenden, insbesondere ringförmigen Lamellen besetzt, die sich nach dem Eintreiben des Stiftes in das zugeordnete Loch des Bodens gegen die Wandung des Loches verspannen.The fasteners can have pins that are designed in a suitable form so that they are held there self-locking after driving into the associated holes in the floor. The pins can be designed in the manner of screws, dowels or the like. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the outer circumference of the pin of the fastening part is occupied by a plurality of radially extending, in particular annular, lamellae which, after the pin has been driven into the associated hole in the base, brace against the wall of the hole.

Im folgenden wird ein in der Zeichnung dargestelltes Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung erläutert;In the following an embodiment of the invention shown in the drawing is explained;

Die einzige Figur zeigt schematisch einen Schnitt durch eine Profilschiene für Bodenbeläge mit einem eingsetzten Befestigungsteil.The single figure shows schematically a section through a profile rail for floor coverings with an inserted fastening part.

Die in der Zeichnung dargestellte Profilschiene 1 kann aus Kunststoff oder Metall, insbesondere Leichtmetall bestehen. Sie besitzt eine gewölbte Oberseite 2 und an ihrer Unterseite zwei sich in Längsrichtung im Bereich der äußeren Längsränder erstreckende äußere Stützleisten 3 sowie innere Stützleisten 4. Die inneren Stützleisten 4 bilden Hinterschneidungen für eine sich in Längsrichtung der Profilschiene 1 erstreckende Längsnut 5, die bei der dargestellten Ausführung einen im wesentlichen rechteckigen Querschnitt besitzt.The profile rail 1 shown in the drawing can consist of plastic or metal, in particular light metal. It has a curved top 2 and on its underside two outer support strips 3 and inner support strips 4 which extend in the longitudinal direction in the region of the outer longitudinal edges. The inner support strips 4 form undercuts for a longitudinal groove 5 which extends in the longitudinal direction of the profile rail 1 and which is shown in FIG Execution has a substantially rectangular cross section.

In der Längsnut 5 ist der verbreiteter Kopf 6 eines Befestigungsteils 7 in Richtung der Längsnut 5 verschieblich geführt. Der Kopf 6 besitzt, gesehen in Richtung der Längsachse des Befestigungsteils 7 einen rechtigen bis quadratischen Grundriß. Die Höhe des Kopfes 6 am Befestigungsteil 7 entspricht etwa der lichten Höhe der Längsnut 5. Das ist in der Zeichnung übertrieben dargestellt.In the longitudinal groove 5, the widespread head 6 of a fastening part 7 is displaceably guided in the direction of the longitudinal groove 5. The head 6 has, seen in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the fastening part 7, a right to square plan. The height of the head 6 on the fastening part 7 corresponds approximately to the inside Height of the longitudinal groove 5. This is exaggerated in the drawing.

An den Kopf 6 des Befestigungsteils 7 schließt ein Stift 8 an, dessen Außenumfang mit einer Mehrzahl von sich radial erstreckenden ringformigen Lamellen 9 besetzt ist.A pin 8 adjoins the head 6 of the fastening part 7, the outer circumference of which is occupied by a plurality of radially extending annular lamellae 9.

Zum Verlegen der Profilschiene 1 werden in den nicht dargestellten Boden Löcher gebohrt. Eine entsprechende Anzahl von Befestigungsteilen 7 wird mit ihren Köpfen 6 in die Längsnut 5 der Profilschiene 1 eingeführt. Dann werden die Stifte 8 der Befestigungsteile 7 in die zugeordneten Löcher eingedrückt. Der Druck erfolgt dabei von der Oberseite 2 der Profilschiene 1 und wird wegen der im wesentlichen spielfreien Führung der Köpfe 6 in der Längsnut 5 auf die Befestigungsteile 7 übertragen. Wenn die Profilschiene 1 genügend tief niedergedrückt ist, verspannen sich die ringförmigen Lamellen 9 gegen die Wandungen der zugeordneten Löcher.For laying the profile rail 1 holes are drilled in the floor, not shown. A corresponding number of fastening parts 7 is inserted with their heads 6 into the longitudinal groove 5 of the profile rail 1. Then the pins 8 of the fastening parts 7 are pressed into the associated holes. The pressure is from the top 2 of the profile rail 1 and is transferred to the fastening parts 7 because of the substantially play-free guidance of the heads 6 in the longitudinal groove 5. When the profile rail 1 is depressed sufficiently deep, the annular lamellae 9 brace against the walls of the associated holes.
