Abstract
Description
[0001] The invention relates to a holding device for a lightning rod holding arrangement. It further relates to a lightning rod holding arrangement with at least one such holding device.
[0002] DE 10 2022 129 609 A1 discloses a holding device for a lightning protection system's air terminal. The holding device has a retaining section to accommodate the air terminal. Components suitable for the retaining section are available, for example, under the name "DEHNhold". Each mounting section of the holding device has two flexible attachment sections. Each attachment section has a double-sided adhesive pad. The undersides of the adhesive pad serve as contact surfaces for the contour of the surface on which the holding device is to be mounted. Installation is often difficult. Furthermore, the known holding device cannot always be optimally positioned.
[0003] Page 190 of the DEHN catalog - surge protection, lightning protection / grounding, 10 / 2023, shows the "DEHNhold" rod holder for attaching air terminals and grounding rods. Page 205 shows angled air terminal tips.
[0004] ITRM 20110505 A discloses fastening systems for installation on non-flat roofs. A fastening system comprises a main support bracket and two plates for attachment to a covering, such as a roof. Each plate is articulated to the main support bracket to allow it to adapt to the roof. Each plate has at least two retaining recesses to hold it to a surface of the roof.
[0005] A mounting set for a trapezoidal rib of a trapezoidal sheet metal, known from DE 10 2011 119 847 A1, is particularly suitable for mounting framed photovoltaic modules on roofs. The mounting set comprises a mounting adapter and two retaining elements. The mounting adapter has two mounting flanges that lie in a common plane. Each mounting flange has a longitudinal recess. Each retaining element has a mounting section and a web-like engagement element projecting from it. Each mounting section may contain pre-drilled holes for the insertion of screws or rivets. Each engagement element is designed to engage with a longitudinal recess and engage behind the corresponding retaining element. The mounting set is adaptable to ribs of various shapes.
[0006] From DE 20 2010 006 594 U1, a lightning rod holding arrangement with a mounting frame is known, to which magnets are attached for locally fixing the lightning rod holding arrangement, in particular to a building roof. This lightning rod holding arrangement has proven itself in practice. However, building roofs are now often non-ferrous, so that the lightning rod holding arrangement cannot be securely fixed there.
[0007] Based on prior art, solar module mounting systems are known for use on building roofs, such as trapezoidal profile roofs, which, due to the greater potential wind forces acting on the solar modules, are generally screwed to the building roofs. This screwing can lead to leaks in the building roof.
[0008] The invention aims to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art. In particular, it seeks to provide a holding device that is extremely secure and can be fixed in place, and is especially user-friendly. Furthermore, it should be flexibly adaptable, particularly to different building roofs, in order to avoid, for example, the need for costly inventory management, and preferably mountable without damaging the building roof, especially without drilling into it. A corresponding lightning rod holding assembly is also to be supplied.
[0009] This problem is solved according to the invention by the features specified in independent claim 1. The core of the invention lies in the mounting bodies, which are preferably guided, adjustable relative to the side parts, and can be fixed to the building roof by adhesive bonding. The mounting device can be fixed without screws. Adjustment of the mounting device, or preferably stepless adaptation, to the building roof, such as to profile head flanks of varying widths and / or different angles of profile side flanks to the profile head flanks, and secure, simple local fixing to non-ferrous or ferromagnetic building roofs is thus possible.
[0010] The building roof is preferably a trapezoidal profile roof and forms an upper, terminating part of the building. It advantageously has alternating upper / outer profile head flanks and lower / inner profile foot flanks, which preferably run parallel to each other. Each profile head flank can also be referred to as the top chord, and each profile foot flank can correspondingly be referred to as the bottom chord. A profile side flank preferably extends between each profile foot flank and the adjacent profile head flank. Adjacent profile side flanks preferably run at an angle to each other. For example, the building roof is made of sheet metal, such as aluminum sheet. It can also be made of a ferromagnetic material, such as steel sheet. Advantageously, the building roof has a slope.
[0011] The holding device is preferably symmetrical with respect to at least one plane of symmetry.
[0012] It is advantageous if the base body is symmetrical with respect to at least one plane of symmetry, preferably with respect to two mutually perpendicular planes of symmetry. It is preferably metallic. The base body preferably has a uniform thickness. It is advantageous if the intermediate part is plate- or web-like. Preferably, the side parts are also plate- or web-like. They are preferably identical.
[0013] Each support element is preferably metallic. It advantageously has a uniform thickness. It is beneficial if each support element is plate- or web-like and comprises a sheet metal part. Preferably, the support elements are identical. In the assembled state of the holding device, they are preferably coupled to the side parts independently of one another, preferably detachably and adjustably. For example, each support element is displaceable and / or pivotable relative to the adjacent side part. In the assembled state of the holding device, the support elements are connected to the side parts, for example, by a plug-in connection. In the assembled state of the holding device, each support element preferably projects beyond its associated side part on both sides.
[0014] The at least one coupling opening completely penetrates the respective side panel in the thickness direction. Each coupling opening and each associated coupling lug are preferably matched to one another. Advantageously, each side panel has several, such as two or three, coupling openings, which are preferably identical and preferably arranged side by side. It is advantageous if the number of coupling openings per side panel and the number of coupling lugs per component are identical.
[0015] The mounting device allows for particularly precise adjustment, especially manually and / or independently, to the building roof or its profiled side faces. It is advantageously suitable for use with various building roofs, particularly trapezoidal profile roofs. The mounting body's displacement area preferably extends perpendicular to the intermediate section. Preferably, the at least one coupling element can be moved, particularly guided, within this displacement area, thus allowing the mounting body to be moved towards and / or away from the intermediate section. It is advantageous if, in the assembled or mounted state of the mounting device, the neck of the at least one coupling element penetrates or extends through the mounting body's displacement area. The mounting body's displacement area and the neck are preferably adapted to each other accordingly.
[0016] The design of each coupling opening, with its sliding and insertion areas for the component, is very easy to assemble and safe. Inserting the at least one coupling element of the component to be coupled into the corresponding coupling opening is advantageously only possible via the respective insertion area, particularly from below. Similarly, removing the at least one coupling element of the component to be uncoupled is preferably only possible via the insertion area, which then forms a corresponding removal area. The insertion area and the retaining head of the at least one coupling element are preferably adapted to each other. Each coupling opening is preferably (essentially) T-shaped, with the base of the T preferably being widened.
[0017] Each adhesive element of the mounting bracket is advantageously double-sided. It is beneficial if it is initially covered, and preferably completely covered, on its bonding side by at least one removable protective element. Each adhesive element of the mounting bracket has a contact surface for contact with a profile side flank, or each adhesive element of the mounting bracket forms such a contact surface. It is advantageous if, in the installed state of the mounting device, each mounting bracket or the mounting assembly is connected to the building roof only by adhesive bonding. Preferably, no screw fastening is used.
[0018] The at least one connecting element allows a direct or indirect, preferably detachable, connection to a lightning rod. It is designed, for example, as a threaded body such as a screw, threaded bolt, or the like.
[0019] The lightning rod holding arrangement according to dependent claim 14 comprises, for example, between three and five holding devices. These are advantageously identical in design and spaced apart from one another for high stability.
[0020] The base, for example, is a rod arrangement.
[0021] Preferably, the support is formed by the base. Alternatively, the support can be a separate component, for example.
[0022] Further advantageous embodiments of the invention are specified in the dependent claims.
[0023] The embodiment according to subclaim 2 leads to a holding device that is extremely flexible in its adaptation to a building roof and can be fixed there in a particularly secure location.
[0024] The design according to dependent claim 3 also enables a particularly secure and robust local fixing of the holding device to the building roof. In particular, the intermediate part and the side parts are integrally connected. It is advantageous if the base body comprises a bent part or sheet metal part, especially a bent sheet metal part.
[0025] The holding device according to dependent claim 4 also allows for a particularly secure and robust local fixing of the holding device to the building roof. For example, it can be achieved that, when the respective attachment body contacts the associated profile side flank of the adjacent side part, it moves inwards or towards the intermediate part, or experiences a force moving in that direction. The angle between the side part and the associated coupled attachment body is, for example, equal to or greater than 90°, or greater than 95°. It is advantageous if it is less than 120°, preferably less than 110°. The angle depends in particular on the design of the building roof, especially on the inclination of the profile side flanks of a rib of the building roof to each other and / or their distance from each other.
[0026] The embodiment according to dependent claim 5 results in a secure coupling of the support body with the adjacent side part in the assembled state of the holding device. It is advantageous if the retaining head projects laterally beyond the associated neck on one side or, in particular, uniformly on both sides. The retaining head is, for example, (essentially) trapezoidal, with its corners preferably being rounded. The neck is, for example, rectangular. Each coupling element preferably has a shape that (essentially) corresponds to / resembles a section through a mushroom. The at least one retaining flank advantageously extends straight. In the assembled state of the holding device, it faces the adjacent side part. It is advantageous if the at least one retaining flank, in the assembled or mounted state of the holding device, bears against the adjacent side part in a linear or uniform manner.The retaining head preferentially holds the attachment body against the side panel.
[0027] The design according to subclaim 6 is particularly user-friendly and easy to assemble. Assembly errors can be reduced or avoided. In particular, the at least one outer web prevents the coupling element of the system body to be coupled from being displaced during insertion into the coupling opening from the outside, i.e., from a side facing away from the intermediate part. Advantageously, each coupling opening is spatially limited by the at least one outer web such that insertion of the coupling element of the system body to be coupled is only possible from below and / or above, and in particular, exclusively from below. Preferably, each coupling opening is spatially limited externally by exactly one outer web. Preferably, each coupling opening is spatially limited completely around its circumference.
[0028] Alternatively, for example, each coupling opening can be open to the outside, i.e., away from the intermediate part. At least one outer web can be omitted.
[0029] The embodiment according to dependent claim 7 again results in a particularly flexible and adaptable holding device. In particular, each support element in the assembled state of the holding device is pivotable, especially within spatial limits by the adjacent side part, which preferably forms a stop. The support elements can, for example, pivot towards or away from each other. They are preferably pivotable independently of each other. For example, each support element in the assembled state of the holding device can be pivoted between 5° and 20° from a normal position.
[0030] The at least one pressure element according to subclaim 8 is preferably elongated or web-like. It is advantageous if it has exactly one foot or connection area and extends freely at a distance from this area. The at least one pressure element preferably has a free head. It is advantageous if the at least one pressure element extends perpendicular to an insertion direction of the support body into the respective side part. It preferably extends adjacent to a recess in the respective side part, which is (essentially) L-shaped. The at least one pressure element is adjustable in and / or against the insertion direction, preferably manually, and is preferably bendable. The at least one pressure element pressed against the adjacent side part ensures, in the assembled state, that...The mounting device ensures a secure attachment of the system body to the adjacent side panel, thus enabling extremely robust local fixing of the mounting device to the building roof. It is advantageous to arrange a pressure element between two coupling points of the corresponding system body.
[0031] The at least one receiving opening according to dependent claim 9 is particularly user-friendly. It allows the receiving of the at least one clamping element when the corresponding attachment body is coupled to the side part. It is advantageous if the at least one receiving opening extends only over a coupling area of the respective side part or a partial area thereof in the direction of the intermediate part. For example, it originates adjacent to an attachment body insertion area. Its base or upper end is located, for example, in the side part (approximately) at the level of an attachment body insertion area. The at least one receiving opening preferably extends over a partial extent of the attachment body displacement area in the direction of the intermediate part. It is advantageous if it tapers towards the intermediate part. The at least one receiving opening is preferably triangular or trapezoidal. This facilitates oroptimizes, for example automatically, the approach of at least one pressure element to a surface, in particular the underside, of the adjacent side part.
[0032] The at least one sliding surface according to dependent claim 10 ensures simple and uniform displacement of the support body relative to the adjacent side part. It is advantageous if it extends at least adjacent to the support body's sliding area on the respective side part. Preferably, it is located at the bottom and / or top of the side part.
[0033] The holding device according to dependent claim 11 results in an extremely secure local fixation of the holding device to the building roof. The at least one base body adhesive element is preferably designed like the attachment body adhesive element and is adhesive on both sides. It has a contact surface for contact with a profile head flank or forms such a contact surface.
[0034] It is advantageous if, according to dependent claim 12, the at least one base body adhesive element is originally covered, in particular completely, on its fixing side by at least one removable protective element. The at least one free peel-off tab provides a very user-friendly holding device. The at least one protective element is thus easily gripped and peeled off. The at least one free peel-off tab preferably projects at least partially from the base body, in particular from the intermediate part, longitudinally. It is advantageous if the base body has exactly one base body adhesive element and this is originally covered by exactly one protective element with exactly one free peel-off tab.
[0035] It is advantageous if each component has at least one gripping projection, in particular a gripping serration, on at least one edge for gripping it. This makes the component easy to grip, even with a glove, which simplifies its handling.
[0036] Advantageously, the base body, especially the intermediate part, has at least one mounting alignment feature, such as at least one mounting alignment notch. This allows for precise and easy alignment of the mounting device with the building roof. For example, this makes it easy to identify and effectively prevent a slanted and / or off-center arrangement of the mounting device on a profile head face.
[0037] The embodiment according to dependent claim 13 is also particularly user-friendly. The at least one release agent insertion end area allows for easy and reliable removal of the holding device, which is already fixed in place by adhesive, for example, for replacement, realignment, or the like. It is designed, for example, as a slope or chamfer. Advantageously, it is bounded by a bending line. It is expedient if two opposing release agent insertion end areas are connected to the intermediate part. It is advantageous if two opposing release agent insertion end areas are connected to each component body. The release agent is, for example, flexible. Preferably, it is elongated. Advantageously, the at least one release agent is designed as a release cord, release thread, for example made of nylon, release wire, release rope, or the like.The at least one release agent insertion end area allows for the simple and safe insertion of the at least one release agent under the locally fixed holding device, in particular under the intermediate part or the respective system body, to release the adhesive bond.

[0039] Firstly, referring to Fig. 1, comprises a lightning rod support assembly 2 mounted on a trapezoidal profile building roof 1, a base frame 3, a bracket 4 for holding a lightning rod 5 and a connection 6 which is in direct or indirect electrical contact with the lightning rod 5, if installed.
[0040] The base frame 3, when mounted on the lightning rod support assembly 2, is cross-shaped. It comprises two pivotable support rods 7 and 8. The support rods 7 and 8 intersect at a common, central intersection point and run one above the other. Each rod has an opening at this intersection point. The openings of the support rods 7 and 8 are aligned with each other.
[0041] One end of the lightning rod 5 is inserted into the openings that form the bracket 4. The lightning rod 5 extends vertically upwards from the bracket 4.
[0042] The connection 6 is located at the intersection point between the two foot rods 7, 8. The connection 6 is plate-like and made of an electrically conductive material.
[0043] A conventional lightning conductor wire (not shown) can be connected to terminal 6. The lightning conductor wire is electrically connected to earth. The lightning conductor wire and the lightning rod 5 are made of an electrically conductive material.
[0044] A lightning strike on the lightning rod 5 is conducted away via the connection 6 through the lightning conductor wire. The lightning rod 5 is generally known from the prior art and has a circular cross-section.
[0045] The lightning rod mounting assembly 2 also includes several mounting devices 9 for local fixing to the trapezoidal profile building roof 1. The mounting devices 9 are identical. A mounting device 9 is located at the end of each base rod 7, 8. A total of two mounting devices 9 are arranged on each base rod 7, 8. The lightning rod mounting assembly 2 has a total of four mounting devices 9, which are spaced apart from each other. The base frame 3 can also be designed differently.
[0046] The trapezoidal profile building roof 1 is formed from a trapezoidal sheet, for example, made of aluminum. It has vertical ribs 10 and vertical ribs 11 that extend parallel to each other and are arranged alternately. The trapezoidal profile building roof 1 thus has top flanks 12 and bottom flanks 13 that run parallel to each other and are vertically spaced apart. Side flanks 14 extend between the top flanks 12 and bottom flanks 13. A vertical rib 10 is formed by a top flank 12 and the side flanks 14 adjoining it on both sides, which are opposite each other and extend to adjacent bottom flanks 13.
[0047] The holding devices 9 are arranged on different height ribs 10 or are fixed in place. Since, as mentioned, the holding devices 9 are identical, only one will be described in more detail below. Reference will also be made to the Fig. 2 to 7 were used.
[0048] A holding device 9 comprises a rigid, one-piece base body 15 and two rigid, one-piece support bodies 16. In their uncoupled, original state, the base body 15 and the support bodies 16 are separate from each other. Each support body 16 can be detachably coupled to the base body 15.
[0049] Furthermore, the holding device 9 has a connecting means 17 for connection to the base frame 3.
[0050] The base body 15 is designed as a bent sheet metal part or sheet metal forming body and is elongated. It comprises two side parts 18 and an intermediate part 19 arranged between the side parts 18.
[0051] The intermediate part 19 has a rectangular contour. It has a top surface 20 and an opposite bottom surface 21.
[0052] Each side part 18 is (essentially) rectangular, with its outer free corner areas preferably being rounded. The side parts 18 adjoin the intermediate part 19 directly at the sides. They connect to the intermediate part 19 obliquely on opposite sides via bending lines 25. Each side part 18 extends obliquely upwards and outwards from the intermediate part 19 and forms an angle wSZ with the intermediate part 19, which lies between 130° and 165°, preferably between 135° and 160°. Fig. 5).
[0053] Each side panel 18 contains two continuous coupling openings 22, which are identical in design and each completely circumferentially bounded. The coupling openings 22 in a side panel 18 are spaced apart from one another. They are located, for example, in the end or side regions of the respective side panel 18. The coupling openings 22 in a side panel 18 have an identical distance from or orientation to the intermediate panel 19. Each coupling opening 22 extends (essentially) perpendicularly from the intermediate panel 19 in the respective side panel 18 to an outer web 23 of the respective side panel 18, which extends parallel to the bending line 25 between this side panel 18 and the intermediate panel 19. Each outer web 23 bounds the adjacent coupling opening 22 outwards from the intermediate panel 19.
[0054] Each coupling opening 22 has an insertion area 24 adjacent to the outer web 23, which is slot-like and extends parallel to the adjacent bending line 25. Each insertion area 24 has an insertion width EW parallel to the bending line 25.
[0055] Furthermore, each coupling opening 22 has a displacement area 26 that directly adjoins the corresponding insertion area 24 and extends from it towards the intermediate part 19. Each displacement area 26 has a constant displacement range VW parallel to the adjacent bending line 25, which is smaller, in particular significantly smaller, than the insertion range EW.
[0056] The base body 15 also has two alignment webs 27, which are flat and connect to the intermediate part 19. The alignment webs 27 are arranged on opposite sides of the intermediate part 19. They connect to the intermediate part 19 via a respective connection line 28, which runs perpendicular to the bending lines 25. Each alignment web 27 projects beyond the intermediate part 19 on both sides in the direction of the respective connection line 28. It has several continuous alignment notches 27a, between one and four, which are formed in an outer edge region of the alignment web 27 facing away from the intermediate part 19.
[0057] The base body 15 is symmetrical with respect to a first plane of symmetry BE1, which extends parallel to the deflection lines 25 and between the side parts 18. Furthermore, it is symmetrical with respect to a second plane of symmetry BE2, which extends perpendicular to the first plane of symmetry BE1 and runs perpendicular to the deflection lines 25.
[0058] Each coupling opening 22 is symmetrical with respect to a plane of symmetry KE, which extends parallel to the second plane of symmetry BE2.
[0059] The fastener 17 is designed as a threaded bolt. It extends from the top 20 of the intermediate part 19 and perpendicular to it. The fastener 17 is located in a central area of the intermediate part 19. It has an external thread that extends around a cylindrical core.
[0060] The plant components 16 are identical in design. Therefore, for the sake of brevity, only one will be described below.
[0061] Each plant body 16 has a plate-shaped or rib-like base element 29, which is rectangular.
[0062] From a support side 30 facing the base body 15 in the assembled state of the holding device 9, two support projections 31 extend from the base element 29, spaced apart from each other along the support side 30. The support projections 31 are spaced apart from the side edges 32 of the base element 29, which extend perpendicular to the support side 30. They form free support edges 33 that are aligned with each other and lie in a common support plane.
[0063] From each support edge 33 or support projection 31, a coupling extension 34 of the support body 16 projects further forward. The two coupling extensions 34 are identical in design and orientation. Each coupling extension 34 is symmetrical. It has a neck 35 and a retaining head 36 adjoining the neck on the outside.
[0064] Each neck 35 connects directly to the support projection 31 and extends perpendicularly to the adjacent support edge 33. Each neck 35 has a constant neck width HW parallel to the support side 30, which essentially corresponds to the displacement width VW and is, in particular, slightly smaller than it.
[0065] Each retaining head 36 is (essentially) trapezoidal. Each retaining head 36 projects uniformly on both sides beyond the adjacent neck 35, forming two retaining flanks 37 that face the adjacent support projection 31. The retaining flanks 37 extend parallel to and spaced apart from the support edges 33. They face the adjacent support edges 33. A distance A between a retaining flank 37 and the adjacent support edge 33 corresponds (essentially) to a thickness D of the base body 15. Each retaining head 36 tapers uniformly away towards a free outer head edge 38 of the retaining head 36, which extends parallel to the adjacent retaining flanks 37. Each retaining head 36 has two oblique edges 39 on its sides, which converge obliquely from the adjacent retaining flanks 37 and connect to the corresponding head flank 38.The inclined edges 39 of each retaining head 36 are arranged opposite each other. Adjacent to the retaining flanks 37, the retaining head 36 has a maximum width KW, which essentially corresponds to the insertion width EW and is, in particular, somewhat smaller than it.
[0066] Each support body 16 also has a web-like, elongated pressure element 40 at its edge, which extends from a support projection 31 and towards the other support projection 31 of this support body 16. The pressure element 40 initially extends, for example, parallel to the adjacent support edges 33. Alternatively, it runs (slightly) obliquely opposite the adjacent support edge 33 and preferably extends from its pressure element base 41 away from the base element 29. The pressure element base 41 is arranged adjacent to a base of a coupling extension 34. The pressure element 40 forms an outer free pressure surface 42, which faces away from the adjacent base element 29 or outwards. It has, for example, an extended pressure head 43 opposite the pressure element base 41, which is free.The pressure element 40 is formed by a slot-like, continuous separating recess 44 in the base body 16, which is essentially L-shaped and separates the pressure element 40 from the base element 29, except for its pressure element base 41. It is bendable or at least partially deflectable, particularly outwards.
[0067] The basic element 29 has a gripping groove 45 on each side edge 32. Each gripping groove 45 extends over the entire respective side edge 32.
[0068] In the basic element 29, for example, two fastening holes 46 are arranged adjacent to the side edges 32, which are preferably circular.
[0069] Each system body 16 has a double-sided adhesive strip 47, which is originally completely covered on the underside by a removable protective film 48 and is adhesively attached to the respective base element 29. Each system body adhesive strip 47 extends over at least a large part of the base element 29. For example, each system body adhesive strip 47 extends over the entire width and / or height of the respective base element 29.
[0070] Furthermore, the intermediate part 19 has a double-sided adhesive base body strip 49, which is originally completely covered by a removable protective film 50 and is adhesively attached to the underside 21. The base body adhesive strip 49 extends over at least a large part of the intermediate part 19. For example, it runs over the entire length and / or width of the intermediate part 19. The protective film 50 of the base body adhesive strip 49 originally extends longitudinally beyond an alignment rib 27 with a, for example, triangular, peel tab 51.
[0071] The following also refers to the Fig. Sections 8 to 11 describe the assembly of a holding device 9 on the trapezoidal profile building roof 1. It has, for example, a trapezoidal profile 45 / 333. There is an angle of (approx.) 120° between the head flank 12 and the side flanks 14.
[0072] The trapezoidal profile building roof 1 is first cleaned on its surface with a suitable cleaning agent at the point where the holding device 9 is to be mounted.
[0073] The base body 15 is then attached to the corresponding head flank 12, with the protective film 50 still covering the base body's adhesive strip 49 at the bottom and facing downwards. The base body's adhesive strip 49 is therefore not yet adhesive on its underside. The base body 15 rests on the head flank 12 with the protective film 50 facing upwards. The intermediate part 19 is attached so that it extends along the head flank 12. If necessary, the alignment notches 27a are used to align the base body 15 with the head flank 12. The alignment notches 27a should be identical for both alignment ribs 27 relative to the head flank 12. The distance to the adjacent side flanks 14 should be identical for each alignment rib 27. The intermediate part 19 is to be arranged centrally between the side flanks 14 on the head flank 12.
[0074] The release tab 51 is then grasped and pulled laterally away from the adjacent alignment rib 27 towards the other alignment rib 27, pressing the base body 15 against the head flank 12 from above. This gradually exposes the adhesive strip 49 of the base body downwards, creating a firm adhesive bond between the base body 15 and the selected head flank 12.
[0075] The attachment bodies 16 are then coupled from below, either simultaneously or sequentially, to the base body 15, which has already been fixed in place by adhesive bonding. For this purpose, the two coupling elements 34 of the respective attachment body 16 are inserted from below, preferably simultaneously, into the coupling openings 22 via the insertion areas 24 of a side part 18, with the head edges 38 facing upwards or leading the way. The retaining heads 36 and the insertion areas 24 are adapted to each other accordingly. The insertion continues, for example, until the support edges 33 are supported at the bottom by the respective side part 18.
[0076] It is important to ensure that the respective pressure element 40, with its contact surface 42, is pressed against the corresponding side part 18. If necessary, the pressure element 40 is bent outwards, for example with a tool. Alternatively, the pressure element 40 is bent accordingly, for example by means of another base body 15, such as an alignment rib 27 or side part 18 thereof, or another support body 16, which then essentially form tools. In particular, its material thickness is utilized.
[0077] The support bodies 16 are then moved uniformly, simultaneously or sequentially, towards the intermediate part 19, with the necks 35 passing through the displacement areas 26 and moving along these areas towards the intermediate part 19. The retaining heads 36 are located above the displacement areas 26 and project laterally beyond them uniformly, thus partially overlapping the respective side part 18. The retaining heads 36 prevent the support body 16 from being removed downwards. The retaining heads 36, or their retaining flanks 37, rest, for example, on top of the respective side part 18 or run directly adjacent to it. The support projections 31 and the base element 29 of the respective support body 16 are located below the side part 18 or its displacement areas 26.The support edges 33, for example, are supported by the side part 18 or run directly adjacent to it.
[0078] The mounting body 16 is moved towards the intermediate part 19 until the mounting body's adhesive strip 47 comes into contact with the adjacent side flank 14, after the corresponding protective film 48 has been removed. It may be pivoted relative to the adjacent side part 18 for this purpose. Contact between the support edges 33 and / or the retaining flanks 37 with the adjacent side part 18 limits the pivoting. The mounting body 16 is thus bonded to the respective side flank 14, in particular over its entire surface.
[0079] How Fig. As shown in Figure 11, an angle wSA exists between a side part 18 and the adjacent mounting body 16, which is preferably always greater than 90°, namely approximately 100° in this case. The head edges 38 run adjacent to the connecting element 17. The coupling projections 34 are arranged in the coupling openings 22 adjacent to the intermediate part 19.
[0080] If desired or necessary, each system body 16 can also be additionally fixed to the respective side flank 14 by screws (not shown), which then penetrate the fastening holes 46.
[0081] The base 3 is then placed onto the connecting elements 17 of the holding devices 9 and secured using suitable screws (not shown). The screws are screwed onto the connecting elements 17.
[0082] The following refers to the assembly of a holding device 9 with reference to the Fig. 12, Fig. 13. Another trapezoidal profile building roof 1a is addressed. It has, for example, a trapezoidal profile of 160 / 250. Reference is made to the previous statements.
[0083] In comparison with the trapezoidal profile building roof 1 according to Fig. From 8 to 11 the head flanks 12 are wider and the side flanks 14 each enclose a smaller angle, namely (approx.) 110°, with the head flank 12.
[0084] Each height rib 10, in comparison with the trapezoidal profile building roof 1, exhibits according to Fig. Furthermore, on their lateral flanks 14 at the foot end of 8 to 11, an extension 52 develops, which extends over the entire length of the respective lateral flank 14. Each lateral flank 14 projects laterally outwards from its normal course in the area of the extension 52.
[0085] The system bodies 16, when mounted on the holding device 9, rest against the side flanks 14 above the extensions 52. They are dimensioned accordingly and, in particular, have a correspondingly adapted height.
[0086] The coupling elements 34 are spaced apart from the intermediate part 19. In particular, they are spaced further apart from the intermediate part 19 than in the previous embodiment. The angle wSA between a contact body 16 and the adjacent side part 18 is larger compared to the previous embodiment. It is greater than 90°; in particular, it lies between 100° and 120°, as in approximately 110°. The end edges 38 are each spaced further apart from the connecting element 17 than in the previous embodiment.
[0087] The following refers to the assembly of a holding device 9 with reference to the Fig. 14, Fig. 15 is addressed in another trapezoidal profile building roof 1b. It has, for example, a trapezoidal profile 35 / 207. Reference is made to the previous statements.
[0088] In comparison with the trapezoidal profile building roof 1 according to Fig. From 8 to 11 the head flanks 12 are wider and the side flanks 14 enclose a larger angle, namely 125°, with the head flank 12.
[0089] The coupling elements 34 are arranged at a distance from the intermediate part 19. In particular, they have a greater distance from the intermediate part 19 than in the embodiment according to Fig. 8 to 11. The angle wSA between a support body 16 and the adjacent side part 18 is, in comparison with the embodiment according to Fig. 8 to 11 smaller. It is 90°. The head edges 38 each have a greater distance to the connecting element 17 than in the embodiment according to Fig. 8 to 11.
[0090] The following refers to the assembly of a holding device 9 with reference to the Fig. 16, Fig. 17 is addressed in another trapezoidal profile building roof 1c. It has, for example, a trapezoidal profile 50 / 250. Reference is made to the previous statements.
[0091] In comparison with the trapezoidal profile building roof 1 according to Fig. For parts 8 to 11, only the head flanks 12 are wider. The side flanks 14 again form an angle of (approx.) 120° with the head flank 12.
[0092] The coupling elements 34 are arranged at a distance from the intermediate part 19. In particular, they have a greater distance from the intermediate part 19 than in the embodiment according to Fig. 8 to 11. The coupling points 34 are arranged adjacent to the insertion areas 24. The angle wSA between a support body 16 and the adjacent side part 18 is, in comparison with the embodiment according to Fig. 8 to 11 smaller. It is greater than 90°; in particular, it lies between 95° and 105°, as at approximately 100°. The head edges 38 each have a greater distance to the connecting element 17 than in the embodiment according to Fig. 8 to 11.
[0093] The terms "top", "bottom", "upper side", "lower side" or similar used here refer in particular to the proper orientation of the lightning rod mounting arrangement or device, which is used, for example, in Fig. 1 is shown.
[0094] The following refers to Fig. 18 describes an alternative embodiment of a holding device 9a. In comparison with the previous embodiment, to whose description explicit reference is hereby made, the base body 15 and the support bodies 16 are designed differently.
[0095] Each side panel 18 has a receiving opening 53 that is completely closed around its circumference. Each receiving opening 53 is located centrally between the two coupling openings 22 of the respective side panel 18. Each receiving opening 53 is triangular and tapers towards the intermediate panel 19. A base 54 of each receiving opening 53 extends parallel to the adjacent bending line 25 and (approximately) at the level of the insertion areas 24 of the adjacent coupling openings 22. Each base 54 is at an (approximately) identical distance to the adjacent bending line 25 as an insertion area 24. Each receiving opening 53 extends from its base 54 only along a partial extent of the adjacent displacement areas 26 of the coupling openings 22 towards the adjacent bending line 25 or the intermediate panel 19.For example, each receiving opening 53 extends over a maximum of 50%, preferably a maximum of 40%, preferably a maximum of 30%, of the partial extent of the adjacent displacement areas 26 in the direction of the intermediate part 19. Each receiving opening 53 terminates at a distance from the adjacent bending line 25. Legs 55 of the respective receiving opening 53 run obliquely to the associated base 54 or to the adjacent bending line 25. Each receiving opening 53 is preferably isosceles, in particular equilateral.
[0096] When a system body 16 is coupled to the corresponding side part 18, its coupling projections 34 are again inserted from below through the insertion areas 24 of the side part 18 into the coupling openings 22. The corresponding pressure element 40, if deflected outwards accordingly, dips into the receiving opening 53, so that the pressure element 40 is still inactive when the coupling projections 34 are inserted into the coupling openings 22. In particular, the pressure surface 42 is not yet pressed against the corresponding side part 18.
[0097] The mounting body 16 is then moved again towards the intermediate part 19. As soon as the pressure element 40 reaches a downward-facing tip 56 of the respective receiving opening 53, the pressure surface 42 comes into contact with the corresponding side part 18 or its material. From this point, the pressure element 40 is pressed against the adjacent side part 18 with its pressure surface 42. The pressure element 40 is therefore only pressed against the side part 18 when the coupling projections 34 are located in the displacement areas 26 spaced apart from the insertion areas 24. Due to the triangular shape of the receiving opening 53, the contact does not occur abruptly, but gradually or in an increasing manner.
[0098] Each alignment web 27, which is arranged at the end of the intermediate part 19, is also bent upwards in comparison to the previous embodiment and extends obliquely to the intermediate part 19. Between an alignment web 27 and the intermediate part 19, there is, for example, an angle between 135° and 170° at a bending line.
[0099] In each system body 16, opposing end regions 59 extend outwards or upwards accordingly. The end regions 59 enclose the side edges 32 and run at an angle. They are curved accordingly.
[0100] When the holding device 9a is mounted, the alignment ribs 27 point upwards away from the adjacent head flank 12. They extend from the intermediate part 19 towards it and are exposed. The end sections 59 of the support bodies 16 are also raised from the adjacent side flanks 14 and extend obliquely towards them. They too are exposed.
[0101] When disassembling the already mounted holding device 9a, a cutting section 58 of a nylon cord 57 is first guided along the bottom of one end section 59 towards the opposite end section 59 of the mounting body 16. The cutting section 58, which extends parallel to the adjacent side edge 32, approaches the adjacent side flank 14 and then enters the space between the mounting body 16 and the side flank 14, where the mounting body adhesive strip 47 is located. The cutting section 58 then severs the adhesive bond between the side flank 14 and the corresponding mounting body adhesive strip 47. It is connected to tensile sections 60 of the nylon cord 57, which, for example, run parallel or obliquely to each other when tensile force is applied to the cutting section 58 and can be gripped.
[0102] After the adhesive bond is released, the system body 16 can be decoupled from the corresponding side part 18, for which purpose its coupling points 34 are implemented via the corresponding insertion areas 24, which then form so-called exit areas. The system body 16 can then be removed.
[0103] The other component 16 is detached from the other side flank 14 and decoupled from the other side part 18. It can then also be removed.
[0104] The separating section 58 is then guided downwards along an alignment rib 27 towards the intermediate part 19 or the opposite alignment rib 27. Extending parallel to the alignment rib 27, the separating section 58 approaches the adjacent head flank 12 and then passes between the intermediate part 19 and the head flank 12, where the base body adhesive strip 49 is located. The separating section 58 then severs the adhesive bond between the head flank 12 and the base body adhesive strip 49. The base body 15 can then be removed.
[0105] If necessary, it is advantageous to detach each component 16 approximately halfway from one end section 59 and then detach the remainder from the other end section 59. The same applies to the intermediate part 19.
[0106] The receiving openings 53 and the described disassembly via the nylon cord 57 are not related to each other. For example, in the embodiment according to Fig. 18. The receiving openings 53 are missing. Alternatively, the alignment ribs 27 and / or the end regions 59 are located there, as in the first embodiment.
[0107] Combinations of different items in the registration are possible.
