Definitions

• the invention relates to a device for connecting two spaced-apart support parts, in particular for receiving curtains, stores and similar decorations, consisting of a rod-like intermediate piece, which is held in the region of its ends on a respective support part.
• connecting devices consist of two support parts which can be fastened to a wall or ceiling at a distance from one another. These two carrier parts are then connected to one another by a rod-like intermediate piece, which is held in the region of its ends on a respective carrier part.
• the rod-like intermediate piece can either be solid or in the form of a tube.
• the distance between the support parts must not exceed a certain amount, since otherwise the intermediate piece bends to such an extent that this can be seen and adversely affects the visual impression.
• the distance between the two support parts may hardly be greater than about 70 cm.
• intermediate support parts must therefore be used between the end support parts, as a result of which the displacement range of curtains, stores and similar decorations is considerably impaired. This makes it necessary to have significantly larger cross sections to choose rod-like intermediate pieces, which in turn - depending on the curtains, stores and similar decorations - adversely affects the visual impression of the connecting device.
• the invention is therefore based on the object of designing a device for connecting two spaced-apart support parts, in particular for receiving curtains, stores and similar decorations, such that the distance between two support parts holding the rod-like intermediate piece is as small as possible in cross-section of the intermediate piece can be significantly enlarged and thus relatively large displacement areas of curtains, stores and similar decorations are possible without these having to be separated.
• the use of intermediate support parts should be largely eliminated.
• the rod-like intermediate piece is connected at least at one end to a threaded part and that the support part facing this end of the intermediate piece cooperates with the threaded part of the intermediate piece to tension it - is assigned to counterpart.
• the intermediate piece can be tensioned or pre-tensioned between two support parts holding it.
• this tension or pretensioning while maintaining the smallest possible cross-section of the rod-like intermediate piece, the previously possible distance between two support parts can be considerably increased and the displacement range of curtains, stores and similar decorations can be be expanded considerably. Annoying intermediate support parts and associated with additional assembly and cost can thus largely be eliminated.
• the device according to the invention is also, for example, in the case of banisters or the like. can be used where the rod-like intermediate pieces can be inserted and tensioned between two supporting railing sockets.
• This device can also be used on building icons, as a room divider and as a hand or bath towel holder.
• Fig. 1 shows an embodiment of a device according to the invention
• Fig. 2 shows an embodiment of an intermediate support part
• FIG. 1 of the drawing shows a device for receiving curtains, stores and similar decorations, which initially consists of two support parts 1, 2, which are designed differently and which serve to hold a rod-like intermediate piece 3, which is only shown in part, on the curtain, stores and similar decorations can be moved using special fastening devices become.
• the support part 1 is used for the frontal connection of the rod-like intermediate piece 3 to a wall 4, while the carrier part 2 is designed so that the rod-like intermediate piece 3 can be fastened in parallel or approximately parallel in front of a wall 5.
• the combination of support parts 1, 2 shown is used or only support parts 1 or 2 are used.
• the length of the support parts 2 can largely be chosen as desired and can be adapted to the extent that determines the distance of the rod-like intermediate piece 3 from the wall 5.
• the carrier part 1 consists of a disk 6, for example made of stainless steel or brass, which is provided with a plurality of bores, not shown in the drawing, via which the disk 6 can be fastened to the wall 4 by means of screws and screws.
• the shape or base area of the disc 6 can largely be chosen as desired, i.e. the disc 6 can be round, oval, triangular and quadrangular or polygonal.
• a set screw 7 is provided on the side facing away from the wall, which is firmly connected to the disc 6, for example by welding or soldering. The set screw 7 can also be screwed into the disk 6 and / or riveted to the same.
• the carrier part 2 also consists of a disc 8, for example made of brass or stainless steel, which is provided in the same way as the disc 6 with holes, not shown, through which the disc 8 can be fastened to the wall 5 by means of screws and bolts.
• the disc 8 receives, for example, a plate-like arm 9, which can also be made of brass or stainless steel or another material.
• the Water arm 9 is fixed to the disc 8, for example by welding, soldering or by means of screws. The length of this arm 9 depends on the distance that the rod-like intermediate piece 3 should be from the wall 5.
• the end of the arm 9 facing away from the disk 8 is connected to a sleeve 10, which advantageously consists of the same material as the arm 9 and / or the disk 8.
• the sleeve 10 can be connected to the arm 9 by soldering or welding. If, for example, the washer 8 is screwed to the arm 9, it is advantageous to use longer screws and also to fasten the sleeve 10 to the arm 9 with these screws.
• the rod-like intermediate piece 3 has a circular and solid cross section. However, it is also possible to form the rod-like intermediate piece 3 by means of a tube. In principle, it is possible that the rod-like intermediate piece 3 also has a different cross-sectional shape, for example square, hexagonal or oval. However, an intermediate piece having such a cross section should, if possible, merge into a circular cross section in its end regions.
• the sleeve 10 now has a continuous bore, not shown, the diameter of which corresponds to the outer diameter of the rod-like intermediate piece 3 and is selected such that the rod-like intermediate piece 3 can be pushed through the sleeve 10 largely without play.
• the rod-like intermediate piece 3 is now provided at its two ends with a threaded part 11, 12, which are advantageously formed in one piece with the rod-like intermediate piece 3.
• the intermediate piece 3 is now pushed so far through the sleeve 10 that at least the threaded part 12 protrudes by a small amount from the sleeve 10.
• a threaded counterpart 13, which has an internal thread 14, is loosely screwed onto this threaded part 12.
• the threaded counterpart 13 has a cylindrical outer shape which corresponds to the outer cross section of the sleeve 10.
• This threaded counterpart 13 is now provided with a bore 15 into which a toggle pin known per se can be inserted. This toggle pin facilitates the turning of the threaded counterpart 13.
• the threaded part 11 can now be inserted in a carrier part 2 in the same way as the threaded part 12.
• the threaded part 11 is screwed into the internal thread of a tubular threaded counterpart 16 from one side.
• the threaded counterpart 16 is designed, for example, as a so-called turnbuckle, which has an opposite, for example left-handed thread at its end facing away from the threaded part 11 and a few turns on the threaded pin 7 of the carrier part 1.
• the threaded counterpart 16 is provided with a bore 16a into which a toggle pin can be inserted to facilitate rotation.
• the rod-like intermediate piece 3 is tensioned at both ends.
• reverse training is also possible.
• the threaded part internal thread
• the threaded counterpart is designed as a threaded pin or screw.
• This carrier part 17 is attached directly, ie not via a disk 8, to the wall 5 via the arm 9 and the arm 9 carries a sleeve 10 at its end facing away from the wall 5.
• the rod-like intermediate pieces 3 also for filling railings or the like.
• the rod-like intermediate piece 3 is then clamped between two load-bearing railing rods.
• the support parts 1, 24 and 17 it is possible to design the support parts 1, 24 and 17 so that connections are possible in which the tensionable intermediate piece 3 is not perpendicular to a wall 4, not parallel to a wall 5 and the two parts 3a thereof are not in alignment with one another .
