Description

[0001] The invention relates to a mounting device that can be attached to a support structure and that has a first hook-in element for holding and / or securing a media supply device, in particular a functional channel, wherein the first hook-in element is provided for establishing a connection with a second hook-in element of the media supply device, which is designed corresponding to the first hook-in element. The invention further relates to a mounting system with such a mounting device.

[0002] Such assembly devices are known, for example, from the patent applications DE 42 03 919 A1, DE 10 2015 109 439 A1 or from the utility model applications DE 203 18 368 U1 and DE 66 04 524 U.

[0003] It is known to attach a media supply unit, in particular a functional duct, to a support structure using separate fasteners, preferably screws and / or rivets. A disadvantage of this method is that the media supply unit must be held in the desired mounting position during attachment to the support structure. Due to the often considerable size of the media supply unit, this leads to a complex and / or time-consuming installation process. In particular, two people are often required to attach the media supply unit to the support structure. While one person holds the media supply unit in the desired mounting position, a second person attaches it to the support structure using separate fasteners. This results in increased personnel and cost expenditure.

[0004] The object underlying the invention is to further develop a mounting device and / or a mounting system of the type mentioned above in such a way that the arrangement of a media supply device on a support structure is improved and / or facilitated.

[0005] The problem underlying the invention is solved by means of a mounting device and / or a mounting system of the type mentioned at the outset, wherein at least one contact surface is provided for attaching a second mounting device, wherein the contact surface is arranged on a side facing away from the first hooking element and / or a first locking element, and wherein a receiving device is provided for partially receiving and / or placing a cover strip, wherein the receiving device has an insertion recess for receiving a positioning element of the cover strip.

[0006] It is advantageous that the media supply unit can be easily hooked onto the mounting device. This avoids the need for complex fastening of the media supply unit using separate fasteners, particularly screws and / or rivets. Preferably, the mounting device itself is first attached to the support structure. The media supply unit is then attached to the mounting device. The mounting device has a first hooking element, which interacts with the media supply unit to establish the connection. The media supply unit also has a second hooking element.

[0007] In a further embodiment, the first and second hooking elements are designed to create a positive-locking and / or force-locking connection. In particular, the first and second hooking elements are designed to allow for tool-free connection. Thus, the media supply device can be attached directly to the mounting device without the use of a tool and / or a separate fastener. Preferably, the first hooking element is designed as a projection and the second hooking element as a corresponding recess and / or receptacle. Alternatively, the first hooking element can be designed as a recess and / or receptacle, and the second hooking element can be a projection corresponding to the recess. The recess and / or receptacle can be in the form of a groove.In particular, the recess, receptacle, and / or groove can extend over substantially the entire length of the media supply device. Specifically, the recess, receptacle, and / or groove is aligned parallel to the longitudinal axis of the media supply device. The projection can be designed as a hook-in lug. By means of such a first hook-in element and / or second hook-in element, the media supply device can be connected to the mounting device in a simple and effective manner.

[0008] Preferably, the mounting device is attached to the support structure in a fastening position. The mounting device can be attached to the support structure using separate fasteners, in particular screws and / or rivets. Alternatively, the mounting device can be connected to the support structure by means of a positive-locking and / or force-locking snap connection, in particular without tools. The support structure can be designed as a frame. In particular, the support structure has at least one support column and / or several support columns. Preferably, in the fastening position of the mounting device on the support structure, the first hook-in element is arranged in an upper region and / or at an upper end of the mounting device. In particular, the connection between the first hook-in element and the second hook-in element of the media supply device can be established in the region of an upper end of the mounting device.This allows for a particularly simple and / or convenient connection between the media supply unit and the mounting device. To establish the connection between the media supply unit and the mounting device, the media supply unit can be connected to the mounting device with at least one vertical and / or essentially top-to-bottom moving component.

[0009] According to a further embodiment, which is also conceivable independently of the present invention, the mounting device has a first locking element for creating a snap-fit ​​connection with a second locking element of the media supply device, which corresponds to the first locking element. In particular, the media supply device has the second locking element. Thus, in addition to the connection of the media supply device to the mounting device via the first and second locking elements, at least one further connection can be realized by means of the first and second locking elements. In particular, the locking connection serves to additionally hold and / or secure the media supply device to the mounting device. Due to the additional locking connection, a particularly secure hold of the media supply device to the mounting device can be ensured.

[0010] Preferably, the snap-fit ​​connection can be formed by positive locking and / or force locking. In particular, the connection of the first snap-fit ​​element to the second snap-fit ​​element can be made without tools. Specifically, the connection between the first and second snap-fit ​​elements and / or between the first and second snap-fit ​​elements is detachable, preferably without tools. In a mounting position of the assembly device on the support structure, the first snap-fit ​​element can be arranged in a lower area and / or at a lower end of the assembly device. Particularly in combination with a first snap-fit ​​element arranged in the upper area and / or at an upper end of the assembly device, this can achieve a particularly secure and / or stable hold of the media supply device on the assembly device.

[0011] Preferably, to arrange the media supply device on the mounting device, the connection between the first and second hook-in elements can first be established. In particular, the connection between the first and second hook-in elements is established by guiding the two hook-in elements into one another, with at least one downward and / or vertical movement component of the media supply device. Subsequently, the snap-fit ​​connection between the first and second snap-in elements can be established. Preferably, the snap-fit ​​connection and / or the interlocking of the two snap-in elements is established by pivoting the media supply device about an axis in the area of ​​the connection between the first and second hook-in elements in the direction of the mounting device.

[0012] In particular, to detach the media supply unit from the mounting device, the locking connection between the first locking element and the second locking element must first be released. Preferably, for this purpose, the media supply unit is pivoted away from the mounting device about an axis in the area of ​​the connection between the first and second locking elements. The connection between the first and second locking elements can then be released. For this purpose, the media supply unit can be detached from the mounting device with at least one movement component in a vertical direction from bottom to top.

[0013] According to a further development, the mounting device has at least one fastening device for attaching it to the support structure. In particular, at least one separate fastening element is provided for attaching the mounting device to the support structure. This separate fastening element can be a screw. Preferably, the fastening device has at least one fastening opening for the partial passage of the fastening element. In particular, the fastening device and / or the mounting device has several fastening openings. Thus, the mounting device can be attached to the support structure using separate fastening elements in a conventional and known manner. Since the mounting device can be significantly smaller than the media supply unit, attaching the mounting device to the support structure can be carried out by a single person.

[0014] According to a further embodiment, the mounting device has a receiving device for partially receiving and / or placing a cover strip. In particular, the receiving device is arranged in an upper area and / or at an upper end of the mounting device in the mounting position of the mounting device on the support structure. The receiving device can have a recess for receiving and / or holding a positioning element of the cover strip. A relative position of the cover strip with respect to the mounting device can be predefined by means of the recess and the positioning element. Thus, the positioning or alignment of the cover strip in a predefined position with respect to the mounting device and / or the media supply device is simplified by the recess and / or the positioning element.In particular, the insertion recess enables a positive-locking and / or force-locking connection of the cover strip and / or the positioning element to the mounting device. This ensures a secure hold of the cover strip on the mounting device. The connection of the cover strip to the mounting device can be established and / or detached, preferably without tools. The receiving device can include a support element for partially resting the cover strip. In particular, the support element serves to partially and / or additionally support the cover strip. Preferably, the support element is spaced apart from the insertion recess.

[0015] According to a further embodiment, the mounting device has at least one contact surface for attaching a second mounting device. Preferably, the design and / or function of the second mounting device corresponds to the mounting device according to the invention. Thus, a first mounting device according to the invention and a second mounting device according to the invention can be provided. The mounting device can have several contact surfaces, in particular a first contact surface and a second contact surface. In particular, the first contact surface and the second contact surface are assigned to two opposite ends of the mounting device. Preferably, the first contact surface and the second contact surface are arranged in a common plane. The plane of the at least one contact surface can extend parallel to the longitudinal axis of the mounting device.The at least one contact surface can be arranged on a side of the assembly device facing away from the first hooking element and / or a first locking element. Preferably, a material recess for receiving a further storage element of the second assembly device is provided in the area of ​​a storage element of the receiving device. When the at least one contact surface of the first assembly device rests against the at least one contact surface of the second assembly device, the storage element of the first assembly device can engage in the material recess of the second assembly device, and vice versa. In this case, the side surfaces of the storage elements of the first and second assembly devices can lie against each other.This can prevent a relative displacement of the two mounting devices in a direction parallel to the planes of the mounting surface and / or in a direction transverse, in particular perpendicular to the longitudinal extent of the mounting device.

[0016] According to a further embodiment, which is also conceivable independently of the present invention, the mounting device has a separate mounting extension. This separate mounting extension can serve to attach an additional media supply device. The additional media supply device can be designed as a sanitary connection strip. In particular, the mounting extension has an alignment element for aligning and / or positioning the mounting extension on at least one mounting device according to the invention. Preferably, the mounting extension can be attached to the support structure below the mounting device, in particular by means of separate fastening means. In particular, the mounting device is previously attached to the support structure in its mounting position. The alignment element facilitates a predetermined positioning of the mounting extension in relation to the mounting device.Preferably, the mounting extension can be positioned and / or aligned centrally to adjacent mounting devices by means of the alignment element.

[0017] The mounting extension can include at least one mounting device. This device can serve to attach a mounting rail and / or the additional media supply unit. In one mounting position of the extension on the support structure, the mounting device can have an L-shaped cross-section. The mounting device can be designed for attaching and / or repositioning the mounting rail and / or the additional media supply unit. This facilitates a predetermined positioning of the additional media supply unit in relation to the mounting extension, the mounting fixture, and / or the media supply unit that can be attached to the mounting fixture.

[0018] A mounting system comprising at least one support structure, at least one media supply unit, and at least one first mounting device according to the invention is particularly advantageous. Such a mounting system is especially modularly expandable and / or retrofittable. Depending on requirements, the modular design of the mounting system allows for the modular assembly of one or more support structures, one or more media supply units, and one or more mounting devices. In particular, at least one second mounting device according to the invention is provided. Furthermore, the mounting system can include at least one separate mounting extension. Specifically, at least two mounting devices are mounted on each support structure and / or support column for attaching a media supply unit. Thus, two support structures and / or support columns are provided, which are spaced apart from each other.In this case, the two mounting devices can be assigned to two opposite ends of the media supply unit.

[0019] It is advantageous to use a mounting device and / or a mounting system according to the invention for holding and / or fastening a media supply unit, in particular for providing a media supply at at least one workstation in a laboratory and / or a classroom. Preferably, several workstations can be supplied with media. The classroom can be designed as a science classroom.

[0020] Preferably, the term "media" refers to fluids, in particular gases and / or liquids, electric current, electronic signals, and / or data. The media supply unit, the functional duct, and / or a sanitary connection strip can be designed to accommodate media lines and / or installation lines. In particular, a media line and / or an installation line is provided for a medium and / or for providing ventilation and / or exhaust for fluids, in particular gases. The medium can be a sanitary medium, in particular a fluid, gas, and / or a liquid. The media line and / or installation line can be designed as a cable and / or a pipe. Furthermore, the medium can be an electrical and / or electronic medium.Preferably, an electrical medium is understood to mean an electric current and / or an electronic medium to mean an electronic signal, in particular for a computer connection, internet connection and / or telephone connection. The media supply device, in particular the functional channel, may have at least one media connection.

[0047] Each positioning element 54 of the cover strip 53 according to Fig. 5 is inserted into a plug-in receptacle 22 of the mounting device 10 according to Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 or the mounting device 55. This securely holds the cover strip 53 to the mounting devices 10, 55 and between the media supply units 44, 56. The cover strip 53 is flush with the upper side of the media supply units 44, 56.

[0048] Fig. Figure 7 shows a cutaway side view of a combination of two mounting devices 10, 55 according to the invention. Fig. 6 with a mounting extension 27 according to Fig. 3. The mounting extension 27 is arranged below the mounting devices 10, 55. The mounting extension 27 is aligned centrally with the mounting devices 10, 55. This results in an overall mirror-symmetrical alignment along a longitudinal center axis of the support column 45.

[0049] The alignment platform 29 of the assembly extension 27 according to Fig. 3 is inserted between the two mounting devices 10 and 55 in the area of ​​their lower ends. This results in a self-adjustment of the mounting extension 27 in relation to the mounting devices 10 and 55.

[0050] Additional media supply units 57 and 58 are attached to the mounting extension 27. The additional media supply unit 57 is located adjacent to the first system unit 31 and is attached to it by means of separate fasteners not shown in detail here.

[0051] In this embodiment, the additional media supply units 57 and 58 are designed to provide sanitary installations. Specifically, these additional media supply units 57 and 58 are configured as sanitary connection strips for providing the sanitary connections shown in more detail below.

[0052] The functioning of the invention will now be explained using the following as an example. Fig.1 to 7 explained in more detail: To provide a media supply and / or media connections at a single workstation or multiple workstations, a support structure 43 is provided and assembled. For example, two support columns 45 are erected at a predetermined distance from each other. At least one mounting device 10 is then mounted at the same height on each of the two support columns 45. Subsequently, a media supply device 44 and / or a duct housing 46 can be attached to the mounting device 10, and thus to the support structure 43, without the need for tools.

[0053] To attach the media supply unit 44 to the mounting device 10, a second hook element 51 of the media supply unit 44 is first moved with a vertical, downward motion component towards a first hook element 11 of the mounting device 10 in order to connect the first hook element 11 with the second hook element 51. After the first hook element 11 has engaged with the second hook element 51, the media supply unit 44 pivots slightly about an axis in the area of ​​the connection between the first hook element 11 and the second hook element 51 in the direction of the support structure 43 or the mounting device 10.

[0054] Due to the pivoting movement, the second locking element 52 of the media supply unit 44 is guided towards the first locking element 12 of the mounting device 10. The pivoting movement is complete when the first locking element 12 engages with the second locking element 52 and a corresponding locking connection is established. In this position, part of the media supply unit 44 abuts the stop element 26 of the mounting device 10.

[0055] To provide a second media supply unit 56, a second mounting device 55 can be attached to the support structure 43 or the support column 45 in a mirror-symmetrical manner to the first mounting device 10. The design and function of the second mounting device 55 and the second media supply unit 56 correspond to those of the first mounting device 10 and the first media supply unit 44, respectively.

[0056] If, in addition to the media supply unit 44 and / or the media supply unit 56, a further media supply unit 57 and / or 58 is to be provided, a mounting extension 27 can be attached to the support structure 43 or the support column 45.

[0057] Thus, a modularly expandable and / or retrofittable mounting system is realized using the mounting device 10, 55 and / or the mounting extension 27. Depending on the media supply requirements in a laboratory and / or a classroom, mounting devices 10, 55 and / or mounting extensions 27 can be combined with each other in different ways.
