Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein mehrteiliges schienenartiges Profil gemäss dem Oberbegriff nach Anspruch 1 (siehe Z.B. EP-A-1506799 ), die Verwendung des Profils sowie Verfahren zum Verbinden zweier Elemente eines mehrteiligen schienenartigen Profils.The present invention relates to a multi-part rail-like profile according to the preamble of claim 1 (see ZB EP-A-1506799 ), the use of the profile and method for connecting two elements of a multi-part rail-like profile.

Bei mehrteiligen schienenartigen Profilen, welche eine Längsrasterung oder eine Zahnstangeneinteilung aufweisen ist es jeweils ein Problem, dass im Übergang von einem Profilelement zum nächsten die Rasterung oder Zahnstangeneinteilung gleich beabstandet weitergeführt wird. Da in der Regel in der Rasterung bzw. der Zahnstangeneinteilung Geräte, Transportmittel oder Fahrzeuge geführt bzw. mittels der selben angetrieben werden, führt ein nicht genauer Übergang zu Bewegungsunterbrüchen, zu Ruckbewegungen oder gar dazu, dass das Fahrzeug oder Gerät aus der Rasterung oder der Zahnstangeneinteilung herausfällt.In multi-part rail-like profiles, which have a longitudinal grid or rack division, it is always a problem that in the transition from one profile element to the next, the screening or rack division is continued equally spaced. Since devices, means of transport or vehicles are usually guided or driven by the same in the grid or the rack and pinion division, an inaccurate transition leads to movement interruptions, jerking movements or even the vehicle or device from the grid or rack arrangement fall out.

Sicher ist es möglich die einzelnen Profilelemente endständig je derart abzuschneiden, dass der Übergang korrekt ist, doch erfordert dies genauste Schneidetechnik und ein genaues zusammenfügen der einzelnen Profilelemente, was sehr aufwendig ist.Of course, it is possible to cut off the individual profile elements at the end in such a way that the transition is correct, but this requires the most accurate cutting technology and an exact joining of the individual profile elements, which is very expensive.

Es ist daher eine Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung eine Massnahme vorzuschlagen, mittels welcher eine Verbindung zweier schienenartigen Profilelemente einen genauen Übergang der Rasterung bzw. der Zahnstangeneinteilung gewährleistet bzw. dass die Rasterung bzw. Zahnstangeneinteilung gleich beabstandet vom einen zum nächsten Element geführt wird.It is therefore an object of the present invention to propose a measure by means of which a connection of two rail-like profile elements ensures a precise transition of the screening or the rack division or that the screening or Rack arrangement equally spaced from one to the next element is performed.

Die gestellte Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäss mittels einer Verbindung nach dem Wortlaut von Anspruch 1 gelöst.The object is achieved according to the invention by means of a compound according to the wording of claim 1.

Vorgeschlagen wird, dass die Führungselemente bzw. Profile nebst der Rasterung oder Zahnstangeneinteilung in Längsrichtung des Profils verlaufende Musterlochungen aufweisen, welche einzelne Lochungen in gleich bleibender Relation zur Rasterung bzw. der Zahnstangeneinteilung angeordnet sind, vorzugsweise die Lochungen ausgerichtet auf die Rasterung oder Zahnstangeneinteilung. Zum Verbinden ist ein Verbindungselement vorgesehen, welches ebenfalls in Längsrichtung verlaufend entlang einer Längswandung weitere Musterlochungen aufweist, welche deckungsgleich zu den Musterlochungen in den Führungsprofilen sind.It is proposed that the guide elements or profiles have in addition to the screening or rack division in the longitudinal direction of the profile extending pattern perforations, which individual perforations are arranged in a constant relation to the grid or the rack arrangement, preferably the perforations aligned with the grid or rack arrangement. For connecting a connecting element is provided, which also extends in the longitudinal direction along a longitudinal wall further pattern perforations, which are congruent to the pattern perforations in the guide profiles.

Das Verbindungselement wird mittels beispielsweise Niet- oder Schraubelementen mit je einem der beiden Profilelemente über die Lochmuster verbunden, wobei keine Lochung des Musters im Verbindungselement zwischen den beiden Profilenden unüberdeckt bleibt. Aufgrund der Kontinuität der Musterlochungen des Lochmusters von einem Profil zum nächsten über die Lochungen bzw. das Lochmuster im Verbindungselement wird sichergestellt, dass auch die Rasterung bzw. die Zahnstangeneinteilung distanzgleich bleibend von einem Profil zum nächsten übergeht. Nicht zur Erfindung gehörend sind statt Musterlochungen auch Nocken oder Erhebungen denkbar, welche beispielsweise federgespannt von der Längswandung nach aussen vorstehend angeordnet sind und im entsprechenden Lochmuster in der daran anliegenden Längswandung eingreifen um beispielsweise das Verbindungselement mit einem der Profilelemente fest zu verbinden. Anstelle von Lochungen können aber auch lediglich eingestanzte Vertiefungen vorgesehen sein, in welche die erwähnten Erhebungen oder Nocken zum Festlegen des Verbindungselementes am Profil eingreifen.The connecting element is connected by means of, for example, rivet or screw elements with one of the two profile elements on the hole pattern, with no perforation of the pattern remains uncovered in the connecting element between the two profile ends. Due to the continuity of the pattern perforations of the hole pattern from one profile to the next via the perforations or the hole pattern in the connecting element, it is ensured that even the grid or the toothed rack arrangement changes in distance from one profile to the next. Not belonging to the invention are instead of pattern perforations and cams or surveys conceivable, which are arranged, for example spring-loaded from the longitudinal wall to the outside and above in the corresponding hole pattern in the adjoining longitudinal wall engage to connect, for example, the connecting element with one of the profile elements firmly. Instead of perforations but only stamped recesses may be provided, in which engage the aforementioned surveys or cams for fixing the connecting element on the profile.

Nicht zur Erfindung gehörend, kann anstelle einer Rasterung oder Zahnstangeneinteilung auch eine längs verlaufende Codierung vorgesehen sein, entlang welcher ein Gerät, ein Transportmittel oder dergleichen geführt bzw. angetrieben werden kann. Aber auch im Falle einer Codierung ist es wichtig, dass der Übergang von einem Profilelement zum nächsten gleichmässig resp. gleich bleibend erfolgt, was wiederum mittels der erwähnten Musterlochungen wie beispielsweise einem Lochmuster über das, zwischen den Profilen angeordnete Verbindungselement erfolgen kann.Not belonging to the invention, instead of a grid or rack division and a longitudinal coding may be provided along which a device, a means of transport or the like can be guided or driven. But even in the case of coding, it is important that the transition from one profile element to the next uniform resp. takes place consistently, which in turn can be done by means of the mentioned pattern perforations such as a hole pattern on the arranged between the profiles connecting element.

Das schienenartige Profil kann beispielsweise einen U-, H-, T-, V-, L- oder O-förmigen Querschnitt aufweisen bzw. einen offenen oder geschlossenen Querschnitt. In mindestens einer längsverlaufenden Wandung verläuft die Rasterung oder Zahnstangeneinteilung und in mindestens einer weiteren Längswandung die Musterlochungen wie das Lochmuster, welche zum Beispiel in Linie ausgerichtet zur Rasterung verlaufen bzw. je ein Loch des Musters, wie ein Loch genau neben je einer Öffnung bzw. einem Abschnitt der Rasterung oder Zahnstangeneinteilung zu liegen kommt. Entsprechend kann auch das Verbindungselement U-, H-, T-, V-, L- oder 0-förmig ausgebildet sein oder als zweidimensionale Längsschiene.The rail-like profile may, for example, have a U, H, T, V, L or O-shaped cross section or an open or closed cross section. In at least one longitudinal wall extending the screening or rack and in at least one other longitudinal wall the pattern perforations as the hole pattern, which are aligned for example in line with screening or one hole of the pattern, like a hole next to each an opening or a Section of the grid or rack arrangement comes to rest. Accordingly, the connecting element U-, H-, T-, V-, L- or 0-shaped or as a two-dimensional longitudinal rail.

Derartige schienenartige Profile können beispielsweise aus stranggepresstem Stahl oder Aluminium hergestellt sein oder aus einem anderen geeigneten Material wie einem verstärkten Polymer bestehen. So sind beispielsweise Aramid- oder kohlenstofffaserverstärkte Polymere wie Acetale, Polyamide, etc. bekannt welche äusserst formstabil sind, hohe Abriebfestigkeit aufweisen, schlagzäh sind, etc. und entsprechend als Ersatzmaterialien für Metalle geeignet sind. Weitere Polymerwerkstoffe werden laufend entwickelt um bei wesentlich geringerem Gewicht metallene Werkstoffe zu ersetzen.Such rail-like profiles may be made of extruded steel or aluminum, for example, or made of another suitable material such as a reinforced polymer. Thus, for example, aramid or carbon fiber reinforced polymers such as acetals, polyamides, etc. are known which are extremely dimensionally stable, have high abrasion resistance, are impact resistant, etc. and are accordingly suitable as replacement materials for metals. Other polymer materials are constantly being developed to replace metal materials at a significantly lower weight.

Die Materialwahl richtet sich nach der Verwendung der Schiene beispielsweise als Führung für ein Fahrzeug, ein Steiggerät, ein Lift, eine Rettungseinrichtung, eine Transporteinrichtung, etc.The choice of material depends on the use of the rail, for example as a guide for a vehicle, a climbing device, a lift, a rescue device, a transport device, etc.

Die Erfindung wird nun beispielsweise und unter Bezug auf die beigefügten Figuren näher erläutert. Dabei zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 in Perspektive ein Element eines schienenartigen Profils,
  • Fig. 2 das Element aus Figur 1 in Querschnittperspektive,
  • Fig. 3 schematische Perspektive 2 zu verbindende schienenartige Profile sowie das zum Verbinden vorgesehene Verbindungselement,
  • Fig. 4 ein Verbindungselement, eingesetzt in ein schienenartiges Profil wie dargestellt in den Figuren 1 und 2,
  • Fig. 5 zwei schienenartige Profile zusammengefügt mittels eines erfindungsgemässen Verbindungselementes, und
  • Fig. 6 die Verwendung des Verbindungselementes zum befestigen des schienenartigen Profils beispielsweise auf einer Unterlage an einer Gebäudewandung, an einem Hochspannungsmasten, etc.
The invention will now be explained in more detail by way of example and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Showing:
  • Fig. 1 in perspective an element of a rail-like profile,
  • Fig. 2 the element off FIG. 1 in cross-sectional perspective,
  • Fig. 3 schematic perspective 2 rail-like profiles to be connected as well as the connecting element provided for connecting
  • Fig. 4 a connecting element used in a rail-like profile as shown in the FIGS. 1 and 2 .
  • Fig. 5 two rail-like profiles joined together by means of a connecting element according to the invention, and
  • Fig. 6 the use of the connecting element for fastening the rail-like profile, for example on a base on a building wall, on a high-voltage mast, etc.

Figur 1 zeigt in Perspektive ein schienenartiges Längsprofil 1, welches Teil eines mehrteiligen schienenartigen Führungsprofils ist, geeignet für das Führen von Geräten, Fahrzeugen, Transporteinrichtungen, etc. Um derartige Geräte, Fahrzeuge oder Einrichtungen zu führen bzw. anzutreiben, ist eine Längsrasterung bzw. Zahnstangeneinteilung 5 in einer Wandung 3 angeordnet, aufweisend gleich beabstandete Lochungen 7. In diesen Lochungen 7 kann beispielsweise ein Zahnrad eingreifen, ein Stopmechanismus von Steiggeräten, etc. FIG. 1 shows in perspective a rail-like longitudinal profile 1, which is part of a multi-part rail-like guide profile, suitable for the guidance of equipment, vehicles, transport devices, etc. In order to drive or drive such devices, vehicles or facilities, a longitudinal rack or rack 5 in arranged a wall 3, having equally spaced holes 7. In these holes 7, for example, a gear engage, a stop mechanism of Steillyäten, etc.

Das in Figur 1 gezeigte Führungsprofil 1 ist U-förmig ausgebildet, aufweisend zwei seitliche Schenkelflächen 9, in welchen ein längsverlaufendes Lochmuster 11 angeordnet ist, aufweisend einzelne Lochungen 13. Schliesslich vorgesehen sind rohrförmige Führungen 15, an welchen Führungsrollen, Haltegleiter oder dergleichen geführt sind oder an diesen angreifen.This in FIG. 1 shown guide profile 1 is U-shaped, comprising two lateral leg surfaces 9, in which a longitudinal hole pattern 11 is arranged, comprising individual perforations 13. Finally provided are tubular guides 15, are guided on which guide rollers, holding glides or the like or attacking them.

In Figur 2 ist in perspektivischem Querschnitt das schienenartige Führungsprofil 1 aus Figur 1 dargestellt, wobei nun der U-förmige Querschnitt deutlich erkennbar ist.In FIG. 2 is in a perspective cross-section of the rail-like guide profile 1 from FIG. 1 shown, now the U-shaped cross-section is clearly visible.

Um zwei schienenartige Führungsprofile derart zusammenzufügen, dass die Rasterung bzw. Zahnstangenenteilung 5 von einem Profil zum nächsten gleichbleibend beabstandet weitergeführt wird, wäre es an sich wichtig, dass endständig die beiden zusammenzufügenden Elemente genau abgeschnitten sind, damit an der Verbindungsfläche der Abstand zweier Rasterlochungen gleich ist wie je entlang der schienenartigen Profile. Dies ist aber in der Praxis kaum realisierbar oder aber nur mittels aufwendiger genauster Schneide- und Fügetechnik.In order to join two rail-like guide profiles in such a way that the grid or toothed rack pitch 5 continues to be constantly spaced apart from one profile to the next, it would be important that the two elements to be joined are terminally cut off at the end, so that the distance between two grid perforations is the same at the connecting area as ever along the rail-like profiles. However, this is hardly feasible in practice or only by means of elaborate cutting and joining technology.

Um eine genaue Verbindung herstellen zu können, wird nun erfindungsgemäss die Verwendung mind. eines Verbindungselementes vorgeschlagen, wie schematisch in Perspektive in Figur 3 dargestellt. Die beiden in Figur 3 dargestellten Profilelemente 1' und 1'' sind derart miteinander zu verbinden, dass die jeweiligen Rasterungen 5' und 5'' beim Übergang vom einen zum anderen Profilelement gleich beabstandet bleiben. Mit anderen Worten soll der Übergang der Rasterungen gleichmässig sein, damit der Übergang beispielsweise eines in den Rasterungen eingreifenden Zahnrades von einem zum anderen Profil störungsfrei erfolgt. Zum Verbinden der beiden Profilelemente 1' und 1'' ist ein Verbindungselement 21 vorgesehen, welches beispielsweise spiegelsymmetrisch zu den beiden Profilen ebenfalls U-förmig ausgebildet ist. In den beiden Seitenschenkeln 23 des U-förmigen Verbindungselementes 21 ist ebenfalls je in Längsrichtung verlaufend ein Lochmuster 25 vorgesehen, aufweisend einzelne Lochungen 27. Dabei sind die einzelnen Lochungen 27 genau gleich, das heisst einen wenigstens nahezu gleichen Lochquerschnitt aufweisend, ausgebildet und beabstandet, wie die einzelnen Lochungen 13' und 13" des Lochmusters 11' und 11" in den Seitenschenkeln 9' und 9'' des jeweiligen schienenartigen Profiles 1' und 1'' . Entsprechend wird das Verbindungselement 21, zunächst wie in Fig. 4 dargestellt derart in der U-förmigen Längsrinne des Profils 1" angeordnet, dass die Lochungen der beiden Lochmuster genau aufeinanderliegend ausgerichtet sind, wodurch nun ein Verbinden des Verbindungselementes 21 mit dem schienenartigen Profil 1" beispielsweise mittels den in Figur 3 und 4 dargestellten Nieten 29 möglich wird. Das Einführen derartiger Nieten 29 kann beispielsweise mittel einer sogenannten akkugetriebenen Nietpistole auf einfachste Art und Weise erfolgen.In order to be able to produce an exact connection, the use according to the invention of at least one connecting element is now proposed, as shown schematically in perspective in FIG FIG. 3 shown. The two in FIG. 3 shown profile elements 1 'and 1''are to be connected together so that the respective rasters 5' and 5 '' remain equally spaced at the transition from one to the other profile element. In other words, the transition of the screens should be uniform, so that the transition occurs, for example, a meshing in the grids gear from one to the other profile trouble-free. For connecting the two profile elements 1 'and 1'', a connecting element 21 is provided, which is for example mirror-symmetrical to the two profiles also U-shaped. In the two side legs 23 of the U-shaped Connecting element 21 is also provided in the longitudinal direction running a hole pattern 25, having individual perforations 27. The individual holes 27 are exactly the same, that is at least almost the same hole cross-section, formed and spaced, as the individual holes 13 'and 13 "of Hole pattern 11 'and 11 "in the side legs 9' and 9 '' of the respective rail-like profile 1 'and 1''. Accordingly, the connecting element 21, first as in Fig. 4 shown arranged in the U-shaped longitudinal groove of the profile 1 ", that the perforations of the two hole patterns are aligned exactly superimposed, thereby now connecting the connecting element 21 with the rail-like profile 1", for example by means of in FIG. 3 and 4 shown rivets 29 is possible. The introduction of such rivets 29 can for example be done by means of a so-called battery-driven rivet gun in the simplest manner.

Die Verwendung von Nieten zum Verbinden des Verbindungselementes mit den Schienenprofilen kann vorteilhaft sein, insbesondere wenn hohe Festigkeit gefragt ist. Im Gegensatz zur Verwendung von Schraubverbindungen wird beim Festlegen einer Niete deren Querschnitt in der Lochung verbreitert bzw. die Niete wird im Lochungsquerschnitt verpresst. Dadurch wird beim Setzen einer Niete die Lochung vollständig ausgefüllt. Zusätzlich werden beim Setzen einer Niete die beiden zu verbindenden Teile wie die Profilwandung und die Wandung des Verbindungselementes zunächst aneinander geführt und schliesslich richtiggehend aneinander gepresst. Beim Verwenden einer Schraubverbindung entfällt das vollständige und vepressende Ausfüllen der Lochungen. Damit entsteht bei der Verwendung von Nieten eine höhere Festigkeit und zudem haften die beiden zu verbindenden Teile wesentlich stärker aneinander. Gerade bei den erfindungsgemäss beschriebenen schienenartigen Profilen kann eine erhöhte Festigkeit im Bereich des Verbindens zweier Profile ein wesentlicher Faktor sein.The use of rivets for connecting the connecting element to the rail profiles may be advantageous, especially when high strength is required. In contrast to the use of screw when broaching a rivet whose cross-section is widened in the perforation or the rivet is pressed in Lochungsquerschnitt. As a result, the hole is completely filled when setting a rivet. In addition, when placing a rivet, the two parts to be joined, such as the profile wall and the wall of the connecting element, are first guided against each other and finally pressed together. At the Using a screw connection eliminates the full and vepressende filling the perforations. This results in the use of rivets a higher strength and also adhere to the two parts to be joined much more closely to each other. Especially with the rail-like profiles described according to the invention, increased strength in the area of joining two profiles can be an important factor.

Je endständig am Verbindungselement 21 sind Überdeckungen und Abdeckkappen 32 bzw. 34 vorgesehen.Depending terminally on the connecting element 21 covers and caps 32 and 34 are provided.

Nach erfolgter Festlegung des Verbindungselementes 21 auf dem schienenartigen Profil 1" kann das weitere schienenartige Profil 1' über dass Verbindungselement 21 geführt werden, wobei die in den Ecken des U-förmigen Profils angeordneten Längsrohre 15' über vorstehende Stifte 33 angeordnet in den Längsrohren 15" des anderen schienenartigen Profils 1" zum verbinden geführt werden können.After the determination of the connecting element 21 on the rail-like profile 1 ", the further rail-like profile 1 'can be guided over that connecting element 21, wherein arranged in the corners of the U-shaped profile longitudinal tubes 15' arranged on protruding pins 33 in the longitudinal tubes 15". the other rail-like profile 1 "can be performed to connect.

Figur 5 zeigt wiederum in Perspektive die beiden schienenartigen Profile 1' und 1'' im verbundenen Zustand, mit dem in der Verbindung angeordneten Verbindungselement 21. Dabei ist das Lochmuster des Verbindungselementes 21 jeweils deckungsgleich mit den beiden Lochmustern 11' bzw. 11 " angeordnet, wobei die Verbindung zwischen Verbindungselement 21 und den beiden schienenartigen Profilen 1' und 1" über die bereits erwähnten Nietverbindungen 29 bewerkstelligt ist. FIG. 5 again shows in perspective the two rail-like profiles 1 'and 1''in the connected state, with the connecting element 21 arranged in the connection. The hole pattern of the connecting element 21 is in each case arranged congruently with the two hole patterns 11' and 11 ", wherein the Connection between the connecting element 21 and the two rail-like profiles 1 'and 1 "on the aforementioned rivet 29 is accomplished.

Aufgrund der Tatsache, dass die beiden Lochmuster 11' und 11" genau gleich beabstandet vom einen zum anderen schienenartigen Profil übertragen werden, ist nun auch gewährleitstet, dass die in der Stirnseite 3' bzw. 3" angeordnete Rasterung gleich beabstandet vom einen zum anderen Profil übertragen wird. Der zwischen den beiden schienenartigen Profilen entstehende Spalt 35 kann dabei bei den verschiedenen Übergängen unterschiedlich sein, die Rasterung bzw. Zahnstangeneinteilung jedoch wird immer gleichbleibend vom einen zum nächsten Profil übertragen.Due to the fact that the two hole patterns 11 'and 11 "are exactly equidistant from one to the other rail-like profile are now also gewährleitstet that the arranged in the end face 3 'and 3 "grid is equally spaced from one to the other profile is transmitted., The resulting between the two rail-like profiles gap 35 may be different at the different transitions However, the grid or rack arrangement is always transmitted consistently from one to the next profile.

Wie bereits Eingangs erwähnt, können derartige schienenartige Führungsprofile für das Führen bzw. für den Antrieb von Transporteinrichtungen, Fahrzeugen wie Schienenfahrzeugen, Steiggeräten, etc. verwendet werden. Bekannt z.B. ist die Verwendung derartiger schienenartigen Profile für das Führen von Steiggeräten und Liften an Hauswänden, Hochspannungsmasten, für das Führen von Rettungsgeräten, etc. Dabei ist es wichtig, dass sowohl die einzelnen schienenartigen Profile wie insbesondere das gesamte mehrteilige schienenartige Profil auf einer Unterlagen wie beispielsweise einer Hauswand, einem Hochspannungsmasten, einem Masten einer Seilbahn, etc. stabil angeordnet bzw. montiert werden kann. Dies kann beispielsweise auch mittels des obenerwähnten erfindungsgemässen Verbindungselementes gewährleistet werden. Entsprechend zeigt beispielsweise Figur 6 wiederum in Perspektive ein Montage- bzw. Halteelement 41, welches für die Montage bzw. das Sichern an einem Hochspannungsmast geeignet ist. Dieses Montagelement 41 kann beispielsweise über Schraubverbindungen 43 an einer entsprechenden mittig zwischen je seitlich vorstehenden Längsflanken 40 gebildeten Montagelängsnut 39 im Verbindungselement 21 befestigt bzw. gesichert werden, welches Montageelement 41 seinerseits einen Befestigungsbereich 45 aufweist, durch welchen hindurch wiederum mittels einer Schraubverbindung das schienenartige Profil auf einer Unterlage befestigt bzw. montiert werden kann.As already mentioned in the introduction, such rail-like guide profiles can be used for guiding or driving transport devices, vehicles such as rail vehicles, climbing gear, etc. For example, is the use of such rail-like profiles for guiding Steilly and lifts on house walls, pylons, for guiding rescue equipment, etc. It is important that both the individual rail-like profiles and in particular the entire multi-part rail-like profile on a document such For example, a house wall, a high voltage pylons, a mast of a cable car, etc. can be stably arranged or mounted. This can be ensured for example by means of the above-mentioned inventive connecting element. Accordingly, for example, shows FIG. 6 again in perspective a mounting or holding element 41, which is suitable for mounting or securing to a high voltage mast. This mounting member 41 may, for example via screw 43 at a corresponding centrally formed between each laterally projecting longitudinal edges 40 Montagelängsnut 39 in the connecting element 21st be fastened or secured, which mounting member 41 in turn has a mounting portion 45, through which in turn by means of a screw the rail-like profile can be mounted or mounted on a base.

Aufgrund dieser Doppelfunktion des Verbindungselementes kann dieses auch an irgendeiner Stelle des schienenartigen Führungsprofiles angeordnet werden, um das Führungsprofil beispielsweise an einer Hausfassade oder einem Hochspannungsmasten anzuordnen. Mit anderen Worten können Verbindungselemente zusätzlich aufweisend ein Montageelement auch entlang des schienenartigen Führungsprofils, das heisst nicht im Bereich der Verbindung zweier schienenartigen Führungsprofile angeordnet werden um die Montagefestigkeit der schienenartigen Führungsprofile zusätzlich zu erhöhen.Due to this dual function of the connecting element, this can also be arranged at any point of the rail-like guide profile to arrange the guide profile, for example, on a house facade or a high voltage pylons. In other words, connecting elements in addition to a mounting element can also be arranged along the rail-like guide profile, that is not in the region of the connection between two rail-like guide profiles in order to increase the mounting strength of the rail-like guide profiles in addition.

In den Figuren 1 bis 6 ist lediglich ein Beispiel der Verbindung zweier schienenartigen Profilelemente eines mehrteiligen Führungsprofils dargestellt, welches zur näheren Erläuterung der vorliegenden Erfindung dient. Insbesondere das gezeigte U-förmige schienenartige Profil ist lediglich ein Beispiel und selbstverständlich ist die Übertragung der vorliegenden Erfindung auch auf ein H-förmiges, T-förmiges, V-förmiges oder andersartig ausgebildetes mehrteiliges, schienenartiges, offenes oder geschlossenes Längsprofil möglich. Auch die Materialwahl ist an sich unerheblich, so kann das Profil aus stranggepresstem rostfreiem Stahl, Aluminium oder einem anderen Material bestehen wie beispielsweise einem verstärkten polymeren Material.In the FIGS. 1 to 6 is merely an example of the connection of two rail-like profile elements of a multi-part guide profile shown, which serves to further explain the present invention. In particular, the U-shaped rail-like profile shown is merely an example and, of course, the transmission of the present invention is also possible on a H-shaped, T-shaped, V-shaped or otherwise designed multi-part, rail-like, open or closed longitudinal profile. Even the choice of material is irrelevant in itself, so the profile of extruded stainless steel, aluminum or a other material such as a reinforced polymeric material.

Entsprechend kann auch das Verbindungslement V-förmig, H-förmig, T-förmig, U-förmig, L-förmig, offen, geschlossen oder als zweidimensionale Längsplatte ausgebildet sein. Auch ist das schienenartige Führungsprofil nicht auf irgendeine Anwendung eingeschränkt, sondern es kann lediglich als Zahnstange ausgebildet als Antriebsmechanismus für ein Fahrzeug dienen oder aber als Führungs- und Antriebsschiene für Steiggeräte, für einen Lift, etc.Accordingly, the Verbindungslement V-shaped, H-shaped, T-shaped, U-shaped, L-shaped, open, closed or be designed as a two-dimensional longitudinal plate. Also, the rail-like guide profile is not limited to any application, but it can only serve as a rack designed as a drive mechanism for a vehicle or as a guide and drive rail for climbing equipment, for a lift, etc.

Nicht zur Erfindung gehörend, können anstelle einer Rasterung oder Zahnstangeneinteilung auch irgendwelche andere in Längsrichtung des Profils vorgesehene Einteilungen gewählt werden, wie insbesondere auch Codierungen, welche beispielsweise auf sich längs erstreckenden Magnetstreifen abgespeichert sind. Diese Codierungen sind beispielsweise analog der Rasterung als gleichmässig periodisch wiederkehrende Musterelemente ausgebildet, welche auch beim Übergang vom einen zum nächsten Profilelement entsprechend gleichmässig fortzuführen bzw. zu übertragen sind. Auch in diesem Falle ist die Verwendung des erfindungsgemäss vorgeschlagenen Verbindungselementes sinnvoll.Not belonging to the invention, instead of a grid or rack division, any other arranged in the longitudinal direction of the profile divisions can be selected, in particular also codings, which are stored for example on longitudinally extending magnetic stripe. These codes are formed, for example, analogous to the screening as evenly recurring pattern elements, which continue to be uniformly even in the transition from one to the next profile element or to be transmitted. In this case too, the use of the connecting element proposed according to the invention makes sense.

Nicht zur Erfindung gehörend, ist es auch möglich anstatt von Lochmustern gleichmässig beabstandet angeordnete Erhebungen, Nocken oder dergleichen zu verwenden, welche in entsprechenden Vertiefungen eingreifen. Dabei können diese Erhebungen oder Nocken entweder in den schienenartigen Profilelementen angeordnet sein und entsprechend die Vertiefungen bzw. Ausnehmungen im Verbindungselement oder umgekehrt. Diese Nocken können auch nach aussen vorstehend vorgespannt sein und so beispielsweise beim Einführen des Verbindungselementes in die Profile in die entsprechenden Ausnehmungen einschnappen bzw. einrasten.Not belonging to the invention, it is also possible to use evenly spaced elevations, cams or the like instead of hole patterns, which engage in corresponding recesses. These surveys or cams can be arranged either in the rail-like profile elements and corresponding to the recesses or recesses in the connecting element or vice versa. These cams can also be biased outwards and thus snap into place, for example, during insertion of the connecting element into the profiles in the corresponding recesses.

Das erfindungsgemäss vorgeschlagene mehrteilige schienenartige Profil ist insbesondere geeignet für Steighilfen, oder Steiggeräte, wie beschrieben in der internationalen Patentanmeldung W02005/016461 und der W02007/051341 .The proposed according to the invention multi-part rail-like profile is particularly suitable for climbing aids, or climbing equipment, as described in the international patent application W02005 / 016461 and the W02007 / 051341 ,

Wesentlich ist, dass im mehrteiligen Führungsprofil eine längs verlaufende Rasterung oder Zahnstangeneinteilung ausgebildet ist sowie längs ausgedehnte Musterlochungen, welche auf die Rasterung oder Zahnstangeneinteilung ausgerichtet sind bzw. mit dieser übereinstimmen. Weiter vorgesehen ist ein Verbindungselement zum Verbinden zweier schienenartiger Profile, welches ebenfalls in Längsrichtung verlaufend Musterelemente aufweist, welche in gleich bleibender Relation zu den Musterlochungen in den schienenartigen Profilelementen stehen wie beispielsweise deckungsgleich sind.It is essential that in the multi-part guide profile a longitudinal grid or rack arrangement is formed as well as longitudinally extended pattern perforations, which are aligned with the grid or rack arrangement or agree with this. Further provided is a connecting element for connecting two rail-like profiles, which likewise has running in the longitudinal direction pattern elements which are in constant relation to the pattern perforations in the rail-like profile elements such as congruent.
