Device for fastening a finishing strip

Abstract

A device for fastening a finishing strip (9) is described, comprising a mount (1), which forms a wall leg (3), and which has a downwardly protruding receptacle web (8) for the clamped holding of the finishing strip (9), which receptacle web (8) is offset transversely in relation to the wall leg (3) and engages in a receptacle groove (10) of the finishing strip (9), which receptacle groove (10) is open on the bottom. To provide advantageous construction conditions, it is proposed that the receptacle web (8) comprises at least three spring tongues (11, 12), which are arrayed adjacent in the web longitudinal direction and protrude upward freely, and which are bulged alternately concavely and convexly in relation to the wall leg (3) about axes parallel to the web.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The invention relates to a device for fastening a finishing strip comprising a mount, which forms a wall leg, and which has an upwardly protruding receptacle web offset transversely in relation to the wall leg which engages in a receptacle groove open on the bottom of the finishing strip for the clamping accommodation of the finishing strip.DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART[0002]For fastening finishing strips for floors, providing a mount made of a plastic profile is known (EP 2 169 143 A2), which has a wall leg fastenable on the wall and a receptacle web for the finishing strip, which is plugged onto the wall-parallel receptacle web, which is offset transversely in relation to the wall leg and is approximately parallel to the wall. The receptacle web engages in this case in a receptacle groove of the finishing strip, which is fixed with the aid of clamping ribs provided on the receptacle web. Since a wall profile which is not linear has to be expected, diffic...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent text describes a mount and finishing strip connection design that provides a secure and flexible clamping connection. The spring tongues have a unique profile that allows for a nonlinear wall profile to linear finishing strips without compromising the clamping effect. The catch ribs on the spring tongues enhance the withdrawal resistance between the mount and finishing strip. Additionally, the spring tongues cross each other to form additional catch supports, improving the overall connection. This design allows for an advantageous spring travel and compensation between nonlinear walls and linear wall finishing strips.

Problems solved by technology

Since a wall profile which is not linear has to be expected, difficulties result during the plugging of the finishing strip onto the receptacle web of the mounting profile.

This is because longer sections of the finishing strips require greater play in the case of a nonlinear wall profile in relation to the engagement of the receptacle web in the receptacle groove of the finishing strip provided for this purpose, to be able to plug the finishing strip onto the mounting profile, while with shorter sections of the finishing strip, a sufficient clamping connection between the receptacle web and the finishing strip is endangered by such play.
