Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a profile system comprising at least one elongated rail profile extending in a longitudinal direction and having a constant cross-section, and at least one retaining element designed to be detachably attached to the rail profile.

[0002] Profile systems of the type mentioned above are known in the prior art in a wide variety of configurations. The rail profile is mounted to a wall, after which at least one support element can be detachably attached to the rail profile. Various objects can be mounted on the support element(s), such as shelves, tool holders, or the like, to name just a few examples.

[0003] The detachable fastening of at least one retaining element to the rail profile can be achieved in various ways. For example, publication WO 90 / 09135 discloses a positive-locking connection between a retaining element that holds or defines an object and a plate to be attached to a wall. The mounting can be achieved by snapping the element into place from the front or, alternatively, by sliding it on from the side. In both cases, a secure connection is ensured. However, a disadvantage of frontal clipping is that it requires a relatively high amount of force. Sliding the element on from the side requires sufficient space, which is not always available.

[0004] Document US 2012 / 0273644 A1 describes a profile system with a rail profile for wall mounting and a holding element for an object, in which the holding element is inserted frontally into the rail profile and held securely against it. The design described in this document enables secure fastening, especially when the object to be attached to the wall has a high weight. However, with lighter objects, the fastening can be accidentally loosened if force is applied to the object from below.

[0005] Further state of the art is represented by the publication DE 10 2009 010 635 A1.

[0006] Based on this state of the art, it is an object of the present invention to create a profile system of the type mentioned above in which the retaining element can be easily and detachably attached to the profile rail without requiring much force.

[0007] To solve this problem, the present invention provides a profile system of the type mentioned at the outset, in which the rail profile, viewed in cross-section, has a substantially rectangular base section, which is provided on its front side with a longitudinally extending receiving groove describing a circular arc extending over at least 200° with a first radius R1 and is accessible via a groove opening of a predetermined groove width, as well as at least a first fastening leg which is substantially flush with the rear side of the base section and projects outwards from the base section, and in which the retaining element has a retaining section and an elongated connecting section attached thereto and extending longitudinally.wherein the connecting section, viewed in cross-section, comprises at least a web extending outwards from the holding section and a cylindrically shaped rod end arranged at the free end of the web, the lateral surface of which, viewed in cross-section, describes a circular arc with radius R2 equal to or slightly smaller than radius R1, wherein the maximum distance between a chord of the circular arc and the lateral surface is slightly smaller than the groove width,This allows the ball joint to be inserted through the groove opening into the receiving groove in a specific pivot position of the retaining element relative to a longitudinal pivot axis, and locked within the receiving groove by pivoting it around the pivot axis. Accordingly, the ball joint of the retaining element can be inserted frontally through the groove opening into the receiving groove of the profile rail in the predetermined pivot position without encountering resistance, as is the case with clip connections. Therefore, minimal force is required for insertion. To secure or lock the ball joint within the receiving groove, the ball joint is pivoted together with the retaining element around the pivot axis. In the pivoted position, the ball joint can no longer be moved through the groove opening, thus ensuring a secure hold of the retaining element on the profile rail.

[0008] Preferably, undercut recesses are provided on the back and / or top and / or bottom of the base section of the rail profile. An adhesive or mortar can grip in such recesses, with which the rail profile is attached to a wall.

[0009] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a recess is provided in the corner region between the underside and the front side of the base section and / or in the corner region between the front side and the top side of the base section and / or in the corner region between the top side and the back side of the base section, which defines a joint mortar chamber for receiving joint mortar. Advantageously, the recess is provided with an undercut which is positioned and designed such that joint mortar placed in the recess can interlock therein.

[0010] According to the invention, the fastening leg can be provided with a plurality of through-openings, which are preferably spaced evenly apart from one another in the longitudinal direction. An adhesive or mortar can pass through such through-openings, with which the rail profile is attached to a wall, thereby ensuring a secure hold.

[0011] Preferably, the rail profile and the retaining element are made of metal, especially aluminum or stainless steel, which results in very good strength and corrosion resistance.

[0012] The holding section of the retaining element is advantageously designed in a plate-like shape. Many different objects can be attached to such a plate-shaped holding section, making the retaining element highly versatile.

[0013] According to the invention, the web of the connecting section projects at an angle between 100° and 110°, particularly upwards, from the retaining section. Such an inclined connecting section facilitates the insertion of the ball joint into the receiving groove.

[0014] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the rod end is provided with a longitudinally extending receiving recess in which a rubber lip serving to compensate for tolerances is inserted. Such a rubber lip can compensate for deviations between the radii R1 and R2 in order to ensure a good fit of the rod end in the receiving groove.

[0015] Advantageously, a spacer is provided on the back of the holding section, which is in particular equipped with an elastic support element.

[0016] Preferably, a decorative plate, in particular one in the form of a glass plate, is attached to the holding section.

[0017] A bathroom utensil is preferably attached to the decorative panel, in particular in the form of a towel holder, a toilet paper roll holder, a toilet brush holder, a shower gel shelf or the like.

[0018] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the profile system comprises a rubber profile designed for insertion into the receiving groove. Such a rubber profile can fill those areas of the receiving groove where no retaining element is arranged. This prevents the receiving groove from becoming contaminated and also prevents a retaining element arranged in the receiving groove from moving back and forth.

[0019] Preferably, the rubber profile has a mounting section and an aperture section, wherein the mounting section is designed to be detachably inserted and secured in the receiving groove, and the aperture section is designed to cover the front of the base section when inserted. This results in a visually appealing appearance.

[0020] The mounting section advantageously features upward and downward projecting ribs, which point particularly towards the aperture section. These ribs ensure a secure hold.

[0021] The aperture section can, in principle, have any shape. Preferably, however, it has a convexly curved outer surface.

[0022] According to one embodiment of the present invention, at least one end cap is provided which is designed to be attached to the end of the rail profile, wherein the end cap has a plate section covering the end of the rail profile, the outer contour of which preferably corresponds to the outer contour of the end face of the rail profile, and at least one plug-in section projecting from the plate section.

[0023] Furthermore, the profile system can have a cover element designed to be placed as a cover, at least on the retaining section of the retaining element, wherein the cover element is preferably substantially C-shaped. Accordingly, the retaining section is not visible from above.

[0024] Further features and advantages of the present invention will become clear with reference to the following description of embodiments of the profile systems according to the invention, with reference to the accompanying drawing.

[0025] The same reference numbers subsequently denote similarly designed components or component areas.

[0026] The Fig. Figures 1 to 10 show a profile system 1 according to a first embodiment of the present invention, comprising as main components a rail profile 2, a retaining element 3, a decorative panel 4 and a toilet brush set 5.

[0027] The rail profile 2 is an elongated rail profile extending in a longitudinal direction L and having a constant cross-section, which in this case is made of stainless steel. Alternatively, the rail profile 2 can also be made of aluminum or another material, such as plastic. The length of the rail profile 2 is normally 1000 to 3000 mm in its delivered state and can then be cut to any desired length before installation. In cross-section, the rail profile 2 comprises a substantially rectangular base section 6, which is provided on its front face with a receiving groove 7 extending in the longitudinal direction L. The receiving groove 7 describes a circular arc 8 extending over an angle of at least 200°, in this case approximately 270°, with a first radius R1, and is accessible via a groove opening 9 with a predetermined groove width B.Undercut recesses 10 and 11 are provided on the rear, top, and bottom of the base section 6. The two recesses 10 on the rear have a semicircular cross-section. The recesses 11 on the top and bottom of the base section 6 are dovetail-shaped. Undercut recesses 12, defining a joint mortar chamber, are also provided in the corner areas between the bottom and front, and between the front and top of the base section 6.

[0028] The rail profile 2 further comprises two fastening legs 13, which are substantially flush with the rear of the base section 6 and project upwards and downwards outwards from the base section 6 in opposite directions. Each of the fastening legs 13 is provided with a plurality of through-holes 14, which are substantially uniformly spaced apart from one another in the longitudinal direction L, although uniform spacing is not mandatory.

[0029] The retaining element 3 is also made of stainless steel. However, as with the rail profile 2, other materials can also be used. The retaining element 3 comprises a retaining section 15, which is plate-shaped, and a connecting section 16, elongated and extending in the longitudinal direction L, attached to it. The connecting section 16 has a web 17 extending outwards from the retaining section 15 and a cylindrical joint head 18 arranged at the free end of the web 17. The cross-sectional surface of the joint head describes a circular arc with radius R2, which is equal to or slightly smaller than radius R1, i.e., a few tenths of a millimeter smaller. The maximum distance a max between a circular chord 19 bounding the circular arc, which is related to Fig. 4 extends at an angle γ to the retaining section 15, which is preferably in the range of 35° to 60°, and the cylindrical surface is slightly smaller than the groove width B, so that the rod end 18, as shown in Fig. As shown in Figure 8, the retaining element 3 can be inserted through the groove opening 9 into the receiving groove 7 of the rail profile 2 in the direction of arrow 21 in a specific pivot position with respect to a longitudinal axis 20 extending in the longitudinal direction L, and locked within the receiving groove 7 during a pivoting movement about the pivot axis 20 in the direction of arrow 22; see Figure 8 for further details. Fig. 9 and Fig. 10. To facilitate the insertion of the rod end 18 into the receiving groove 7, the web 17 of the connecting section 16 projects at an angle β of 100° to 110° from the retaining section 15. To achieve tolerance compensation in the Fig. In the state shown in Figure 10, the joint head 18 is provided in the region of the circular chord 19 with a receiving recess 23 extending in the longitudinal direction L, into which an elongated rubber lip 24 is inserted. This rubber lip 24 prevents the joint head 18 from moving too easily within the receiving groove 7. Furthermore, a spacer 25 is provided in the lower region on the rear side of the retaining section 15, which is equipped with an elastic contact element 26, also designed as a rubber lip in this case.

[0030] The decorative panel 4 is attached to the retaining section 15 of the retaining element 3, with the retaining element 3 being arranged in the upper area of ​​the decorative panel 4 and positioned such that the connecting section 16 of the retaining element 3 points upwards. The attachment of the retaining section 15 of the retaining element 3 to the decorative panel 4 is achieved in this case by means of an adhesive bond, although other fastening methods are also possible in principle.

[0031] Decorative panel 4 is preferably made of colored glass. Alternatively, it can also be made of any other material.

[0032] The toilet brush set is attached to the lower part of the decorative panel 4 using screws 27, although other fastening methods are of course possible here as well.

[0033] To produce the in the Fig. In the arrangement shown in Figures 5 to 7, during the laying of tiles 28 on a wall 29, the rail profile 2 is installed in a horizontal joint between two superimposed rows of tiles such that the fixing legs 13 are embedded in the tile adhesive 30 and the base section 6 is positioned in the joint such that the side edges of the tiles 28 abut the underside and the top of the base section 6. The tile adhesive 30 penetrates the openings 14 of the upper fixing leg 13 and anchors itself in the recesses 10 and 11, thereby achieving a secure fixation of the rail profile 2 to the wall 29. In a further step, grout 34 is applied and interlocks in the recesses 12 of the base section 6 of the rail profile 2.In a subsequent step, after the tile adhesive 30 and the grout 31 have hardened, the retaining element 3, together with the decorative panel 4 and the toilet brush set 5 held to it, can be attached to the rail profile 2, as previously described with reference to the . Fig. 8 to 10 have already been described.

[0034] Fig. Figure 11 shows a rubber profile 32 of the profile system 1, which can also be made of plastic. The rubber profile 32 comprises a mounting section 33 and a cover section 34, wherein the mounting section 33 is designed to be inserted into the receiving groove 7 of the rail profile 2 in a snap-fit ​​manner, and the cover section 34 is designed to cover the front of the base section 6 of the rail profile 2 when inserted. For this purpose, the mounting section 33 is provided with upward and downward projecting ribs 35, which point towards the cover section 34 and bear against the wall of the receiving groove 7 when pressed into it. The cover section 34 has a convex outer surface 36, although other shapes of the outer surface 36 are of course also possible.The rubber profile 32 serves to fill those areas of the receiving groove 7 that are not occupied by the ball joint 18 of the retaining element. This is advantageous because, firstly, the retaining element 3 cannot move back and forth within the receiving groove 7 when installed. Secondly, the receiving groove 7 is also covered, preventing it from accumulating dust. Furthermore, a neat appearance is achieved.

[0035] Fig. Figure 12 shows an end cap 37 of the profile system 1, which is designed to be attached to the end of the rail profile 2 in order to prevent the ingress of tile adhesive 30, particularly during the installation of the rail profile 2. The end cap 37 is made of a sheet metal part and has a plate section 38 covering the end of the rail profile 2, the outer contour of which essentially corresponds to the outer contour of the end face of the rail profile 2, and two plug-in sections 39 projecting from the plate section 38, the dimensions of which are chosen such that they can be inserted into the recesses 10 of the rail profile 2 and fixed therein. For this purpose, the Fig. The 12 illustrated plug sections 39 are bent by 90° so that they can be inserted into the recesses 10.
