Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Belag gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a covering according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

Aus der DE-A-100 19 986 ist ein Bodenbelag für den Außenbereich, bestehend aus einzelnen Platten, bekannt, die auf einem Kies- oder Sandbett aufliegen. Zwischen Stirnseiten dieser Platten sind Fugen vorgesehen, in die ein Füllstoff eingebracht ist. Diese Fugen erlauben, geringe Maßtoleranzen der Platten sowie Ausdehnungen durch Temperaturschwankungen auszugleichen. Als Füllmaterial werden Fugenmörtel, Sand und Zement, bituminöse Massen und porige Mineralstoffgemische vorgeschlagen. Diese bekannten Fugenfüllstoffe müssen nach dem Verlegen der Platten gesondert in die Fugen eingebracht werden. Daneben ist bekannt, Fugen mit losem Splitt bzw. Sand aufzufüllen. Dies hat den Nachteil, daß das Füllmaterial mit der Zeit verloren geht. Außerdem kann Gras bzw. Moos leicht durch die Fugen durchwachsen.From the DE-A-100 19 986 is an outdoor flooring, consisting of individual panels, known to rest on a gravel or sand bed. Between end faces of these plates joints are provided, in which a filler is introduced. These joints allow to compensate for small dimensional tolerances of the plates and expansions due to temperature fluctuations. As filling material joint mortar, sand and cement, bituminous masses and porous mineral mixtures are proposed. These known Fugenfüllstoffe must be introduced separately after laying the plates in the joints. In addition, it is known to fill joints with loose chips or sand. This has the disadvantage that the filler is lost over time. In addition, grass or moss can easily grow through the joints.

Aus der FR-A-2751004 ist ein weiterer Bodenbelag bekannt, der von Platten gebildet ist. Diese Platten weisen stirnseitige Nuten auf, in die T-förmige Abstandshalter eindringen können. Diese Abstandshalter legen die Fugenbreite in engen Toleranzen fest und bestehen aus einem elastischen Material. Oberhalb der Abstandshalter wird die Fuge mit Sand verfüllt.From the FR-A-2751004 Another flooring is known, which is formed by plates. These plates have frontal grooves, into which T-shaped spacers can penetrate. These spacers define the joint width in close tolerances and consist of an elastic material. Above the spacers, the joint is filled with sand.

Aus der DE-A-101 61 482 ist ein gattungsgemäßes Bodenbelagselement bekannt, welches von einer Kunststoffleiste gebildet ist. Diese Kunststoffleiste wird an Bodenplatten angespritzt oder angeklebt und anschließend zusammen mit diesen verlegt.From the DE-A-101 61 482 is a generic flooring element known, which is formed by a plastic strip. This plastic strip is molded or glued to floor panels and then laid together with these.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Belag der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, der einfach zu verlegen ist und die Fugen dauerhaft und optisch ansprechend verschließt.The invention has for its object to provide a covering of the type mentioned, which is easy to install and closes the joints permanently and visually appealing.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved with the features of claim 1.

Der Belag gemäß Anspruch 1 besteht aus einzelnen Platten aus mineralischem Material, insbesondere Stein, Kunststein, Beton, Betonwerkstein oder Keramik. Dieser Belag kann sowohl als Bodenbelag als auch als Wandbelag eingesetzt werden. Um die Platten leicht in ihrem Kies- bzw. Mörtelbett oder auf Stelzlagern verlegen zu können, sind zwischen den Stirnseiten der Platten Fugen vorgesehen. Diese Fugen erlauben einen einfachen Ausgleich unterschiedlicher Plattenabmessungen sowie einen Ausgleich von Wärmeausdehnungen der Platten bei Temperaturschwankungen.The covering according to claim 1 consists of individual plates of mineral material, in particular stone, artificial stone, concrete, cast stone or ceramics. This covering can be used both as a floor covering and as a wall covering. In order to lay the plates easily in their gravel or mortar bed or on pedestal bearings, joints are provided between the end faces of the plates. These joints allow a simple compensation of different plate dimensions and a compensation of thermal expansion of the plates with temperature fluctuations.

Um zu verhindern, daß sich in den Fugen Schmutz ansammeln kann, der nur schwer beseitigt werden kann, ist in diese Fugen ein Füllstoff eingebracht. Zur Erzielung einer leichten Verlegbarkeit der Platten besteht dieser Füllstoff aus einer Leiste, die an der Stirnseite der Platte festgelegt ist. Diese Leiste bildet beim Verlegen der Platte einen Abstandshalter, so daß ohne weitere Maßnahmen eine konstante Fugenbreite erzielt wird. Außerdem werden die an den Stirnseiten der Platte festgelegten Leisten zusammen mit den Platten verlegt, so daß ein nachträgliches Ausfüllen der Fugen entfällt. Die Platten werden vielmehr gleichzeitig mit den Leisten verlegt. Es spielt dabei keine Rolle, ob die Leisten bereits beim Hersteller oder erst auf der Baustelle an der Platte festgelegt werden. Um eine einfache Verlegbarkeit der Platten zu gewährleisten, ist die zur Leiste benachbarte Platte zumindest senkrecht zur Plattenebenenerstreckung relativ zur Leiste verschiebbar. Damit kann jede Platte einfach in das Kies- bzw. Mörtelbett gedrückt und festgeklopft werden. Zusätzlich ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die benachbarte Platte entlang der an der Leiste anliegenden Stirnseite verschiebbar ist, um eine einfache Ausrichtung der Platten zueinander zu gewährleisten. Die verlegten Platten können nach Gebrauch samt den Leisten aus dem Bett entfernt und wieder verwendet werden. Vorzugsweise werden die Platten in das Bett eingeklopft, damit deren sichtbare Oberflächen fluchtend zueinander ausgerichtet sind. Um zu verhindern, daß sich zwischen der Leiste und der Platte Wasser ansammelt, ist die Leiste von Quernuten bzw. Durchbrechungen durchsetzt. Eindringendes Wasser kann auf diese Weise in das darunterliegende Bett abfließen, so daß keine Gefahr von Frostaufbrüchen besteht. Die Durchbrechungen können beispielsweise die Leiste quer durchsetzen, um das Wasser zur gegenüberliegenden Seite der Leiste zu leiten, falls dort ein ungehinderter Abfluß möglich ist. Das Wasser kann auf diese Weise zu der der Feder abgewandten Seite der Leiste gelangen, um dort abzufließen. Alternativ oder zusätzlich kann auch die Feder der Leiste von den Quernuten bzw. Durchbrechungen durchsetzt sein, um auf diese Weise einen vertikalen Abflußkanal zu erzeugen. Es ist daran gedacht, die Leiste bereits werkseitig an die Platte anzubringen, so daß die Verlegung auf der Baustelle besonders einfach erfolgt. Dabei bietet die Leiste der Platte einen zusätzlichen Schutz, so daß die Platte einfach abgestellt werden kann, ohne daß die Gefahr besteht, daß Kanten der Platten ausbrechen. Auf einen zusätzlichen Kantenschutz der Platten kann beim Transport daher verzichtet werden. Erstreckt sich die Leiste mit einem Schenkel bis unter die Feder, so weist dieser Schenkel bevorzugt im Bereich jeder Quernut bzw. Durchbrechung eine Nut auf, die einen ungehinderten Wasserablauf gewährleistet.In order to prevent dirt from accumulating in the joints, which is difficult to remove, a filler is introduced into these joints. To achieve easy installation of the plates, this filler consists of a strip which is fixed on the front side of the plate. This bar forms when laying the plate a spacer, so that a constant joint width is achieved without further action. In addition, the fixed to the faces of the plate strips are laid together with the plates, so that a subsequent filling of the joints is eliminated. The plates are rather laid simultaneously with the strips. It does not matter if the strips are already fixed at the manufacturer or only at the construction site on the plate. In order to ensure easy installation of the plates, the plate adjacent to the strip is displaceable relative to the strip at least perpendicular to the plate plane extension. Thus, each plate can simply be pressed into the pebble or mortar bed and tapped. In addition, it is advantageous if the adjacent plate is displaceable along the end face resting against the strip in order to ensure a simple alignment of the plates relative to one another. The laid panels can be removed from the bed after use, together with the strips and reused. Preferably, the plates are tapped into the bed so that their visible surfaces are aligned with each other. In order to prevent water from accumulating between the strip and the plate, the strip is penetrated by transverse grooves or openings. Penetrating water can drain into the underlying bed in this way, so there is no risk of frost heaves. For example, the apertures may transversely penetrate the ledge to direct the water to the opposite side of the ledge if unobstructed drainage is possible there. The water can get in this way to the spring side facing away from the bar to drain there. Alternatively or additionally, the spring of the strip may be interspersed by the transverse grooves or openings, in order to produce in this way a vertical outflow channel. It is thought to attach the bar already factory to the plate, so that the installation on the site is particularly easy. The strip of the plate provides additional protection, so that the plate can be easily turned off without the risk that edges of the plates break out. On an additional edge protection of the plates can therefore be dispensed with during transport. Extends the bar with a leg to below the spring, this leg has preferably in the region of each transverse groove or opening a groove, which ensures an unobstructed water flow.

Zur einfachen Festlegung der Leiste an der Stirnseite der Platte hat sich eine Nut-Feder-Profilierung bewährt. Beispielsweise ist an der Platte eine Feder angeformt, die in eine Nut der Leiste eingreift. Die Festlegung der Leiste an der Platte erfolgt vorzugsweise über eine elastische Verformung der Leiste. Die Nut und die Feder sind dabei derart ausgebildet, daß die Oberfläche der Leiste entweder bündig mit der Plattenoberfläche abschließt oder geringfügig tiefer als die Plattenoberfläche zu liegen kommt. Auf diese Weise ist eine über den gesamten Belag konstante Höhe der Leiste im Verhältnis zur Plattenoberfläche gewährleistet.For easy determination of the bar on the front side of the plate, a tongue and groove profiling has proven. For example, a spring is formed on the plate, which engages in a groove of the strip. The determination of the strip on the plate is preferably carried out via an elastic deformation of the bar. The groove and the spring are designed such that the surface of the bar either flush with the plate surface closes or slightly lower than the plate surface comes to rest. In this way, a constant over the entire top height of the bar is guaranteed in relation to the plate surface.

Günstig ist hierbei, dass die Nut-Feder-Profilierung gemäß Anspruch 3 von einer in die Stirnseite der Platte eingeformten Nut und einer an die Leiste angeformten Feder gebildet ist. Da die Nut relativ schmal ausgebildet sein kann, muß auf diese Weise aus der harten Platte nur verhältnismäßig wenig Material abgearbeitet werden, was sich vorteilhaft auf die Bearbeitungszeit und den Verschleiß der Bearbeitungswerkzeuge auswirkt.It is advantageous here that the tongue and groove profiling is formed according to claim 3 of a molded-in the end face of the plate groove and an integrally formed on the strip spring. Since the groove can be made relatively narrow, only relatively little material must be processed in this way from the hard plate, which has an advantageous effect on the processing time and wear of the processing tools.

Gemäß Anspruch 2 ist die Feder der Leiste von den Quernuten bzw. Durchbrechungen durchsetzt. Auf diese Weise werden einfach vertikale Abflußkanäle erzeugt.According to claim 2, the spring of the strip is penetrated by the transverse grooves or openings. In this way, simply vertical drainage channels are created.

Um eine möglichst sichere Festlegung der Leiste an der Platte zu erzielen, ist es gemäß Anspruch 3 vorteilhaft, diese in Form von zwei elastisch aufspreizenden Stegen auszubilden. Diese Stege sind vorzugsweise gegen die Nutwandungen der Platten vorgespannt, so daß eine ausreichende Haltekraft der Leiste in der Nut gewährleistet ist.In order to achieve the most secure fixing of the strip on the plate, it is advantageous according to claim 3, this form in the form of two elastically spread-webs. These webs are preferably biased against the groove walls of the plates, so that a sufficient holding force of the strip is ensured in the groove.

Zusätzlich ist es gemäß Anspruch 4 günstig, wenn die Leiste an der Platte festgeklebt ist. Die Klebeverbindung muß nur bis zur Verlegung der Platten halten, so daß eine Vielzahl von Klebstoffen eingesetzt werden kann.In addition, it is advantageous according to claim 4, when the strip is glued to the plate. The adhesive bond must hold only until the laying of the plates, so that a variety of adhesives can be used.

Um sowohl Längs- als auch Querfugen durch die Leiste auszufüllen, ist es gemäß Anspruch 5 günstig, wenn die Platte an mindestens zwei Stirnseiten mit den Leisten versehen ist. Im Falle von quadratischen Platten könnten die Leisten grundsätzlich an einander gegenüberliegenden Stirnseiten der Platte angebracht sein, wobei aneinander angrenzende Platten in diesem Fall um 90° zueinander verdreht werden müssen. Im Falle von rechteckigen Platten werden vorzugsweise aneinanderstoßende Stirnseiten der Platte mit den Leisten versehen. Auf diese Weise wird erreicht, daß nur eine einzige Plattensorte eingesetzt werden muß, um den Belag zu erstellen.In order to fill both longitudinal and transverse joints through the strip, it is advantageous according to claim 5, when the plate is provided on at least two end faces with the strips. In the case of square plates, the strips could in principle be mounted on opposite end faces of the plate, adjacent plates in this case have to be rotated by 90 ° to each other. In the case of rectangular plates preferably abutting end faces of the plate are provided with the strips. In this way it is achieved that only a single type of plate must be used to create the coating.

Damit die Leiste Ausdehnungen der Platte aufgrund von Temperaturschwankungen ausgleichen kann, ist es gemäß Anspruch 6 vorteilhaft, wenn die Leiste zumindest teilweise aus einem elastisch verformbaren Material besteht. Insbesondere ist daran gedacht, die Leiste aus Gummi, Latex bzw. einem Polymer, bevorzugt einem Polymerschaum, zu erstellen. Da die auszugleichenden Längenänderungen der Platten relativ gering sind, reicht es in der Regel aus, die Leisten nur teilweise aus dem elastisch verformbaren Material zu erstellen. Der überwiegende Teil der Leiste könnte grundsätzlich auch aus einem harten Material erstellt sein, was sich wiederum günstig auf die Abriebeigenschaften der Leistenoberseite auswirkt.So that the strip can compensate for expansions of the plate due to temperature fluctuations, it is advantageous according to claim 6, if the strip at least partially consists of an elastically deformable material. In particular, it is thought to create the strip of rubber, latex or a polymer, preferably a polymer foam. Since the length changes of the plates to be compensated are relatively small, it is generally sufficient to create the strips only partially from the elastically deformable material. The majority of the bar could basically also made of a hard material be, which in turn has a favorable effect on the Abriebeigenschaften the strip top.

Zur Erzielung eines besonders vorteilhaften optischen Effekts ist es gemäß Anspruch 7 günstig, wenn die Leiste an ihrer sichtbaren Oberseite wenigstens teilweise aus Metall besteht. Die glänzende Metalloberfläche der Leiste ergibt einen besonders günstigen Kontrast zur Steinoberfläche der Platte. Außerdem ergibt sie eine besonders hohe Abriebfestigkeit der Leistenoberfläche.To achieve a particularly advantageous optical effect, it is advantageous according to claim 7, when the strip at least partially consists of metal on its visible upper side. The shiny metal surface of the strip results in a particularly favorable contrast to the stone surface of the plate. In addition, it gives a particularly high abrasion resistance of the strip surface.

Zur Erzielung einer leichten Verlegbarkeit der Platten zur Bildung des gewünschten Belags ist es gemäß Anspruch 8 günstig, wenn die Leiste an der der Platte abgewandten Seite eben ausgebildet ist. Vorzugsweise ist die an der Leiste anliegende Stirnseite der benachbarten Platte ebenfalls eben ausgebildet, so daß ein einfaches Einklopfen der Platte in das Bett möglich ist. Grundsätzlich könnten die Leiste bzw. die Platte im spitzen Winkel zur Plattenebenenerstreckung ausgerichtet sein. Zur Vermeidung von bruchempfindlichen Kanten der Platte wird jedoch eine rechtwinkelige Ausrichtung der abgewandten Seite der Leiste zur Plattenebenenerstreckung bevorzugt.To achieve easy installation of the plates to form the desired coating, it is advantageous according to claim 8, when the strip is flat on the side facing away from the plate. Preferably, the voltage applied to the bar front side of the adjacent plate is also flat, so that a simple knocking of the plate is possible in the bed. In principle, the strip or the plate could be aligned at an acute angle to the plate plane extension. However, in order to avoid fracture-sensitive edges of the plate, a perpendicular orientation of the opposite side of the bar to the plate plane extension is preferred.

Um zu verhindern, daß die Leiste während des Einklopfens der Platte durch das Bett nach oben gedrückt wird, ist die Leiste gemäß Anspruch 9 gegenüber der Plattenunterseite verkürzt ausgebildet. Damit kann das Bettmaterial beim Einklopfen der Platte teilweise in die Fuge eindringen, ohne die Leiste zu beschädigen oder herauszudrücken.In order to prevent the bar is pushed up during the tapping of the plate through the bed, the bar according to claim 9 opposite the underside of the plate is formed shortened. Thus, the bed material can partially penetrate into the joint when knocking the plate without damaging the bar or push out.

Dies erleichtert die genaue, fluchtende Ausrichtung der Plattenoberflächen zueinander.This facilitates the accurate alignment of the plate surfaces with each other.

Zur Erzielung eines dichten Abschlusses des Fugenmaterials an der benachbarten Platte ist es gemäß Anspruch 10 günstig, wenn an der Leiste mindestens eine Dichtlippe vorgesehen ist. Diese Dichtlippe ist vorzugsweise an der Leiste angeformt und erstreckt sich über deren gesamte Länge. Diese Dichtlippe liegt federnd an der benachbarten Platte an und hält insbesondere Wasser ab, das in die Fuge eindringen könnte. Außerdem bildet die Dichtlippe einen elastisch nachgiebigen Abschluß zur benachbarten Platte, so daß die Fuge auch bei Temperaturschwankungen vollständig von der Leiste ausgefüllt ist.To achieve a tight completion of the joint material on the adjacent plate, it is advantageous according to claim 10, if at least one sealing lip is provided on the bar. This sealing lip is preferably integrally formed on the strip and extends over the entire length thereof. This sealing lip is resiliently against the adjacent plate and holds in particular from water, which could penetrate into the joint. In addition, the sealing lip forms an elastically resilient termination to the adjacent plate, so that the joint is completely filled even with temperature fluctuations of the bar.

Zur Erzielung einer vorteilhaften Verschwenkbarkeit der Dichtlippe an der Leiste ist es gemäß Anspruch 11 vorteilhaft, wenn die Dichtlippe mindestens eine Nut aufweist. Diese Nut verläuft vorzugsweise über die gesamte Länge der Leiste und bildet eine Schwenkachse für die Dichtlippe.To achieve an advantageous pivotability of the sealing lip on the strip, it is advantageous according to claim 11, when the sealing lip has at least one groove. This groove preferably extends over the entire length of the strip and forms a pivot axis for the sealing lip.

Außerdem ist es gemäß Anspruch 12 vorteilhaft, wenn in der Leiste eine Ausnehmung vorgesehen ist, in die die Dichtlippe eindringen kann. Insbesondere ist daran gedacht, die Ausnehmung derart auszubilden, daß die Dichtlippe vollständig hinter die Abschlußfläche der Leiste gedrückt werden kann. Dies stellt sicher, daß die angrenzende Platte dicht an die Leiste angedrückt werden kann, ohne daß die Dichtlippe stört.Moreover, it is advantageous according to claim 12, if in the strip a recess is provided into which the sealing lip can penetrate. In particular, it is thought to form the recess such that the sealing lip can be pushed completely behind the end surface of the strip. This ensures that the adjacent plate can be pressed close to the bar, without the sealing lip interferes.

Schließlich ist es gemäß Anspruch 13 günstig, an die Leiste vorzugsweise mehrere parallel zur Plattenebene ausgerichtete, vorspringende Rippen vorzusehen. Diese Rippen bilden günstige Anschlagflächen für die Stirnflächen der Platte. Außerdem sorgen diese Rippen für einen materialsparenden Aufbau der Leiste, wobei trotzdem eine ausreichend breite Fuge und eine satte stirnseitige Anlage der Platten an der Leiste gewährleistet ist.Finally, it is advantageous according to claim 13, preferably provided on the bar a plurality of parallel to the plate plane aligned, projecting ribs. These ribs form favorable abutment surfaces for the end faces of the plate. In addition, these ribs provide a material-saving construction of the bar, while still a sufficiently wide joint and a full frontal investment of the plates is guaranteed on the bar.

Figur 1 zeigt eine räumliche Schnittdarstellung eines Belags 1, insbesondere eines Bodenbelags. Der Belag 1 besteht aus einzelnen Platten 2, 2', die in ein Bett 3 aus losem Kies eingeklopft sind. Alle Platten 2, 2' des Belags 1 sind im wesentlichen gleich ausgebildet. FIG. 1 shows a spatial sectional view of a covering 1, in particular a floor covering. The pad 1 consists of individual plates 2, 2 ', which are tapped into a bed 3 of loose gravel. All plates 2, 2 'of the pad 1 are formed substantially the same.

In dem Ausschnitt gemäß Figur 1 ist zu ersehen, daß an der Platte 2 eine Leiste 4 festgelegt ist, die eine Fuge 4' zwischen den Platten 2, 2' ausfüllt. Eine vergleichbare Leiste 4 ist auch an der Platte 2' vorgesehen, die jedoch in Figur 1 nicht zu sehen ist. Zur Festlegung der Leiste 4 an der Platte 2 ist in eine Stirnseite 5 der Platte 2 eine Nut 6 eingeformt, die sich parallel zur Ebenenerstreckung der Platte 2 erstreckt. In diese Nut 6 greift eine Feder 7 der Leiste 4 ein, die in der Nut 6 der Platte 2 im Preßsitz gehalten ist. Zusätzlich ist daran gedacht, die Leiste 4 mit der Platte 2 zu verkleben. Die Lagen der Nut 6 und der Feder 7 an der Platte 2 bzw. der Leiste 4 sind derart bemessen, daß die sichtbare Oberseite 8 der Leiste 4 geringfügig unter der Oberfläche 9 der Platte 2 zu liegen kommt.In the clipping according to FIG. 1 It can be seen that on the plate 2, a bar 4 is fixed, which fills a gap 4 'between the plates 2, 2'. A comparable strip 4 is also provided on the plate 2 ', which, however, in FIG. 1 not visible. Laying down the strip 4 on the plate 2, a groove 6 is formed in an end face 5 of the plate 2, which extends parallel to the plane extent of the plate 2. In this groove 6 engages a spring 7 of the bar 4, which is held in the groove 6 of the plate 2 in a press fit. In addition, it is thought to glue the bar 4 to the plate 2. The positions of the groove 6 and the spring 7 on the plate 2 and the bar 4 are dimensioned such that the visible upper side 8 of the bar 4 comes to lie slightly below the surface 9 of the plate 2.

Die Leiste 4 ist an ihrer Unterseite 10 gegenüber der Platte 2 verkürzt ausgebildet, so daß sich zwischen den Platten 2, 2', der Leiste 4 und dem Bett 3 ein Hohlraum 11 ergibt. Dieser Hohlraum 11 kann sich beim Einklopfen der Platten 2, 2' in das Bett 3 teilweise mit einer Kiesanhäufung 12 aus dem Bett 3 füllen. Damit ist ein exaktes Ausnivellieren der Platten 2, 2' zueinander möglich, ohne daß die Leiste 4 aus ihrem Sitz an der Platte 2 herausgedrückt wird.The strip 4 is formed shortened on its underside 10 relative to the plate 2, so that there is a cavity 11 between the plates 2, 2 ', the strip 4 and the bed 3. This cavity 11 can be partially filled with a gravel accumulation 12 from the bed 3 when knocking the plates 2, 2 'in the bed 3. In order for an exact leveling of the plates 2, 2 'to each other possible without the bar 4 is pushed out of its seat on the plate 2.

Die Leiste 4 ist an der der Platte 2 bzw. der Feder 7 abgewandten Seite 13 eben ausgebildet. Die anschließende Platte 2' ist an ihrer der Leiste 4 zugewandten Stirnseite 14 ebenfalls eben ausgebildet, so daß sich die Platte 2' relativ zur Leiste 4 vertikal zur Ebenenerstreckung der Platten 2, 2' sowie in Längserstreckung der Leiste 4 verschieben läßt. Dies erleichtert das Einklopfen der Platten 2, 2' in das Bett 3.The strip 4 is flat on the side facing away from the plate 2 and the spring 7. The subsequent plate 2 'is also flat on its side facing the bar 4 end face 14, so that the plate 2' relative to the bar 4 can be moved vertically to the plane extension of the plates 2, 2 'and in the longitudinal extension of the bar 4. This facilitates knocking the plates 2, 2 'into the bed 3.

Figur 2 zeigt eine nicht erfindungsgemäße Ausführungsform eines Belags 1, wobei gleiche Bezugszeichen gleiche Teile benennen. Im Unterschied zur Ausführungsform gemäß Figur 1 weist die Platte 2 an ihrer Stirnseite 5 die Feder 7 auf, während in die Leiste 4 die Nut 6 eingearbeitet ist. FIG. 2 shows a non-inventive embodiment of a covering 1, wherein like reference numerals designate like parts. In contrast to the embodiment according to FIG. 1 has the plate 2 on its front side 5, the spring 7, while in the bar 4, the groove 6 is incorporated.

Bei beiden Ausführungsformen gemäß den Figuren 1 und 2 kann Wasser, welches zwischen der Leiste 4 und der Platte 2' eindringt, ungehindert in das Bett 3 abfließen, so daß ein Wasserstau zuverlässig verhindert wird.In both embodiments according to the FIGS. 1 and 2 Water, which penetrates between the bar 4 and the plate 2 ', freely flow into the bed 3, so that a water jam is reliably prevented.

Um zu verhindern, daß zwischen der Leiste 4 und der Platte 2 eindringendes Wasser sich stauen kann, weist die Feder 7 der Leiste 4 gemäß Figur 3 Quernuten 15 auf. Diese Quernuten 15 sind über die Länge der Leiste 4 gleichmäßig verteilt und bilden Abflußkanäle für eindringendes Wasser. Diese Quernuten 15 erstrecken sich teilweise in den vertikalen Schenkel 18 der Leiste 4 hinein, um einen ungehinderten Abfluß zu gewährleisten.In order to prevent that between the bar 4 and the plate 2 penetrating water can accumulate, the spring 7 of the bar 4 according to FIG. 3 Quernutes 15 up. These transverse grooves 15 are evenly distributed over the length of the bar 4 and form drainage channels for penetrating water. These transverse grooves 15 extend partially into the vertical leg 18 of the strip 4 in order to ensure an unhindered outflow.

Figur 4 zeigt eine alternative Ausführungsform einer Leiste 4, wobei gleiche Bezugszeichen wieder gleiche Teile benennen. Die Leiste 4 besitzt zusammen mit ihrer Feder 7 einen L-förmigen Querschnitt, um den Hohlraum 11 zwischen den Platten 2, 2', der Leiste 4 und dem Bett 3 zu vergrößern. Zum Abfluß von eindringendem Wasser weist die Feder 7 Durchbrechungen 16 auf, die über die Länge der Leiste 4 verteilt sind. Diese Durchbrechungen 16 schwächen die Feder 7 nicht so stark wie Quernuten 15, so daß sich für die Leiste 4 ein verbesserter Halt an der Platte 2 ergibt. FIG. 4 shows an alternative embodiment of a bar 4, wherein like reference numerals again like parts to name. The strip 4 has, together with its spring 7, an L-shaped cross-section to enlarge the cavity 11 between the plates 2, 2 ', the strip 4 and the bed 3. To drain water from penetrating, the spring 7 openings 16 which are distributed over the length of the bar 4. These openings 16 do not weaken the spring 7 as much as transverse grooves 15, so that there is an improved grip on the plate 2 for the strip 4.

An der Oberseite 8 weist die Leiste 4 eine Abdeckung 17 aus Metall auf, die winkelartig geformt ist. Diese Abdekkung 17 besteht aus einem Metallblech und erstreckt sich nahezu über die gesamte Breite der Fuge zwischen den Platten 2 und 2'. Diese Abdeckung 17 ergibt einen vorteilhaften optischen Eindruck. Es ist auch daran gedacht, die Abdeckung 17 an den anderen gezeigten Ausführungsformen der Leiste 4 anzubringen.At the top 8, the strip 4, a cover 17 made of metal, which is shaped like an angle. This cover 17 consists of a metal sheet and extends almost over the entire width of the joint between the plates 2 and 2 '. This cover 17 gives a favorable visual impression. It is also contemplated to attach the cover 17 to the other illustrated embodiments of the strip 4.

Die Figur 5 zeigt eine weitere alternative Ausführungsform der Leiste 4, wobei gleiche Bezugszeichen wieder gleiche Teile benennen. Im Unterschied zur Ausführungsform gemäß Figur 3 weist die Feder 7 einen teilkreisförmigen Querschnitt auf, wobei die Nut 6 der Platte 2 entsprechend ausgebildet ist. Diese Ausbildung hat den Vorteil, daß die Nut 6 einfacher in die Stirnseite 5 der Platte 2 eingearbeitet werden kann.The FIG. 5 shows a further alternative embodiment of the bar 4, wherein like reference numerals again designate like parts. In contrast to the embodiment according to FIG. 3 the spring 7 has a part-circular cross-section, wherein the groove 6 of the plate 2 is formed accordingly. This design has the advantage that the groove 6 can be easily incorporated into the end face 5 of the plate 2.

Die Figur 6 zeigt eine weitere alternative Ausführungsform der Leiste 4, wobei gleiche Bezugszeichen wiederum gleiche Teile benennen. Bei dieser Ausführungsform ist die Feder 7 im Querschnitt schwalbenschwanzförmig ausgebildet, um eine besonders feste Verbindung zwischen der Leiste 4 und der Platte 2 zu erzielen.The FIG. 6 shows a further alternative embodiment of the bar 4, wherein like reference numerals again denote like parts. In this embodiment the spring 7 in cross-section dovetail-shaped in order to achieve a particularly firm connection between the bar 4 and the plate 2.

An der Leiste 4 ist außerdem an der der Feder 7 abgewandten Seite eine Dichtlippe 19 angeformt, die sich über die gesamte Länge der Leiste 4 erstreckt. Diese Dichtlippe 19 weist eine Längsnut 20 auf, die für die Dichtlippe 19 eine Schwenkachse bildet. Der nach unten gerichtete, frei Abschnitt der Dichtlippe 19 ist um diese Nut 20 schwenkbar gehalten. Im Bereich der Dichtlippe 19 weist die Leiste 4 außerdem eine Ausnehmung 21 auf, die ein vollständiges Eindrücken der Dichtlippe 19 in die Leiste 4 ermöglicht. Die Dichtlippe 19 ist in ihrem unteren Bereich gekrümmt ausgebildet, um ein Verhaken mit der benachbarten Platte 2' beim Auftreten von Setzungen .zu verhindern. Es ist auch daran gedacht, die Dichtlippe 19 an den anderen Ausführungsformen der Leiste 4 anzubringen.On the bar 4, a sealing lip 19 is also integrally formed on the side facing away from the spring 7, which extends over the entire length of the strip 4. This sealing lip 19 has a longitudinal groove 20 which forms a pivot axis for the sealing lip 19. The downwardly directed, free portion of the sealing lip 19 is pivotally supported about this groove 20. In the region of the sealing lip 19, the strip 4 also has a recess 21, which allows a complete depression of the sealing lip 19 in the bar 4. The sealing lip 19 is formed curved in its lower portion to prevent snagging with the adjacent plate 2 'in the presence of subsidence .zu. It is also contemplated to attach the sealing lip 19 to the other embodiments of the strip 4.

Schließlich zeigt die Figur 7 eine weitere Ausführungsform der Leiste 4, wobei gleiche Bezugszeichen gleiche Teile benennen. Die Feder 7 dieser Leiste 4 ist bei dieser Ausführungsform zweigeteilt und besteht aus zwei Stegen 22. Diese Stege 22 weisen in ihren Endbereichen außenseitige Verstärkungen 23 auf, die einen besonders sicheren Haltegriff der Feder 7 in der Nut 6 der Platte 2 gewährleisten. Um eine Überbeanspruchung der Stege 22 beim Einstecken in die Nut 6 der Platte 2 zu verhindern, sind die Stege 22 im Verbindungsbereich mit den vertikalen Schenkeln 18 durch eine zylindrische Ausnehmung 24 freigestellt. Diese zylindrische Ausnehmung 24 bildet in den Stegen 22 außerdem eine Querschnittsverengung, die als Schwenkachse für die Stege 22 dient.Finally, the shows FIG. 7 a further embodiment of the bar 4, wherein like reference numerals designate like parts. The spring 7 of this strip 4 is divided into two parts in this embodiment and consists of two webs 22. These webs 22 have in their end regions on the outside reinforcements 23, which ensure a particularly secure handle of the spring 7 in the groove 6 of the plate 2. In order to prevent overstressing of the webs 22 when inserting into the groove 6 of the plate 2, the webs 22 are exposed in the connecting region with the vertical legs 18 through a cylindrical recess 24. This cylindrical recess 24 forms in the webs 22 also has a cross-sectional constriction, which serves as a pivot axis for the webs 22.

Die Leiste 4 weist mehrere über deren Länge verteilte Quernuten 15 auf, von denen in Figur 7 nur eine dargestellt ist. Diese Quernut 15 durchsetzt die gesamte Feder 7 und den unteren Bereich des vertikalen Schenkels 18 vollständig. Damit ergibt sich ein Wasserdurchtrittskanal durch die Feder 7 und zur gegenüberliegenden Seite der Leiste 4. Zur Kompensation der von der Quernut 15 hervorgerufenen Schwächung der Stabilität der Leiste 4 weist diese im oberen Bereich des vertikalen Schenkels 18 längsverlaufende Rippen. 25 auf. Diese Rippen 25 bilden außerdem Anschlagflächen für die Stirnflächen 14 der Platte 2, so daß sich bei materialsparender Ausbildung der Leiste 4 eine ausreichend breite Fuge 4' einstellt. Entsprechende Rippen 25 sind im vertikalen Schenkel 18 auch an der der Feder 7 gegenüberliegenden Seite vorgesehen.The strip 4 has a plurality of distributed over its length transverse grooves 15, of which in FIG. 7 only one is shown. This transverse groove 15 passes through the entire spring 7 and the lower portion of the vertical leg 18 completely. This results in a water passageway through the spring 7 and the opposite side of the bar 4. To compensate for the 15 caused by the transverse groove weakening of the stability of the bar 4, this has in the upper region of the vertical leg 18 longitudinal ribs. 25 on. These ribs 25 also form abutment surfaces for the end faces 14 of the plate 2, so that a sufficiently wide joint 4 'sets in material-saving design of the strip 4. Corresponding ribs 25 are provided in the vertical leg 18 and on the spring 7 opposite side.

Die Feder 7 ist von der stirnseitigen Endfläche 26 der Leiste 4 beabstandet, um einen federlosen Endbereich 27 der Leiste 4 auszubilden. Dies erleichtert die Montage der Leiste 4 an zwei aneinanderstoßenden Stirnflächen 14 der Platte 2, ohne daß die Federn 7 sich gegenseitig in der Nut 6 der Platte 2 behindern würden. Andernfalls müßte die gesamte Leiste einschließlich der Feder 7 auf Gährung geschnitten werden, was relativ aufwendig ist.The spring 7 is spaced from the front end surface 26 of the bar 4 to form a springless end portion 27 of the bar 4. This facilitates the assembly of the strip 4 on two abutting end faces 14 of the plate 2, without the springs 7 would interfere with each other in the groove 6 of the plate 2. Otherwise, the entire bar would have to be cut including the spring 7 on food, which is relatively expensive.

Die Leiste 4 besteht vorzugsweise aus Kunststoff, insbesondere Polyethylen oder Polyvinylchlorid, zumal sich diese Kunststoffe besonders leicht im Spritzgieß- oder Extrudierverfahren formen lassen.The strip 4 is preferably made of plastic, in particular polyethylene or polyvinyl chloride, especially itself make these plastics particularly easy to mold by injection molding or extrusion.
