Abstract
Description
[0001] The invention relates to edge profiles, intermediate profiles, and support profiles with horizontal connector channels for the simple, quick, and high-quality construction of substructures for slab coverings, for example, for terraces, balconies, and flat roofs. The horizontal connector channels, which are integrated longitudinally into the profiles, are designed so that a threaded screw can be directly inserted into them. This allows corner and longitudinal connectors to be individually positioned and, thanks to the pre-existing horizontal threaded channel, enables very simple and quick assembly. The additional use of T-nuts or the complicated and imprecise fastening with, for example, self-tapping screws, as is common with conventional systems, is completely eliminated.
[0002] The present invention seeks to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art and to provide an improved and faster laying of panels and planks that is simple, flexible and of high quality.
[0003] Advantageous further developments of the edge profiles, intermediate profile and support profile according to the invention are specified in the dependent claims.
[0004] In a first preferred embodiment, the edge profiles, intermediate profiles, and support profiles according to the invention have a threaded channel extending horizontally in the longitudinal direction of the profiles, which is designed so that a threaded screw can be screwed directly into it. For this purpose, the profiles or the horizontal threaded channel are provided with a corresponding thread or grooves pressed into them in the longitudinal direction, in which the thread of the screw engages and is held.
[0005] In a second advantageous embodiment of the edge profile, intermediate profile, and support profile according to the invention, the edge and intermediate profiles are provided with a groove (opening) on their underside in the longitudinal direction. A pedestal bearing for height adjustment can be attached to the profile in this groove using a pin / spring mechanism, thus ensuring that the pedestal bearing is firmly connected to the profile and enabling simpler and easier assembly.
[0006] In a further advantageous embodiment of the edge profile, intermediate profile, and support profile according to the invention, all horizontal threaded channels are located at the same height / plane. This allows the edge profiles, intermediate profiles, and support profiles to be connected to each other and to each other with the longitudinal and corner connectors to form a rigid structure.
[0007] In a further advantageous embodiment of the edge profile, intermediate profile, and support profile according to the invention, the profiles can be connected to one another using external longitudinal and corner connectors. The threaded screw is inserted through the hole of the connector and screwed directly into the horizontal threaded channel of the edge profile, intermediate profile, and support profile. Because the finished horizontal threaded channel runs lengthwise along the profiles, the position of the screw and the position of the connectors can be individually determined. Fig. Figure 1 shows the edge profile (01) with the cover / tread surface (02) in cross-section. The cover / tread surface ensures that the cut edges of the panels are no longer visible and are finished to a high standard. Also shown is the outer surface (03) with the recess (04). Flush end caps can be mounted on the recess (04). The bearing surface (05) serves as a support surface for the joint spacers and panels. External longitudinal and corner connectors can be fastened in the horizontal threaded channel (06) using a threaded screw. The horizontal threaded channel (06) is designed longitudinally so that a threaded screw can be directly screwed into it and fastened. Additional longitudinal and corner connectors can also be mounted in the connector channel (07) and fastened with a screw through the horizontal connector channel (06). The horizontal web (09) serves to support and fasten the intermediate profiles (10) and support profiles (12).The pedestal bearing support plate with pin / spring (18) can be pressed into the groove (08) on the underside of the edge profile (01) so that it is firmly connected to the edge profile (01). Fig. Figure 2 shows the intermediate profile (10) in cross-section. External longitudinal and corner connectors can be fastened in the horizontal threaded channels (06) using a threaded screw. The horizontal threaded channel (06) is designed longitudinally so that a threaded screw can be directly screwed into it and fastened. The pedestal bearing support plate with pin / spring (18) can be pressed into the grooves (08) on the underside of the intermediate profile (10), thus firmly connecting it to the intermediate profile (10). The bearing surface (09) serves to support and fasten the support profiles (12). The bearing surface (05) serves as a support for the slabs in conjunction with the joint spacers. Rainwater and dirt can drain through the profile via the cavity (11) through the joints. Fig. Figure 3 shows the support profile (12) in cross-section. The support profile (12) serves to support the slab coverings and rests on the horizontal webs (09) of the edge profiles (01) and intermediate profiles (10). External longitudinal and corner connectors can be fastened in the horizontal threaded channels (06) using a threaded screw. The horizontal threaded channel (06) is designed longitudinally so that a threaded screw can be directly screwed into and fastened. Support pads can be placed on the bearing surface (05) to ensure the slabs are securely supported. The lateral, vertical webs prevent the pad from slipping sideways off the profile when the slab is placed on it. The horizontal web (09) serves for support and for fastening to the horizontal webs (09) of the edge profiles (01) and intermediate profiles (10). Fig. Figure 4 shows the intermediate profile (10) in cross-section. It shows how the longitudinal connector (19) or external connector (14) is fastened with the threaded screw (15) in the horizontal threaded channel (06) and how the intermediate profiles (10) are connected longitudinally. Furthermore, the pedestal bearing support plate with pin / spring (18) of the height-adjustable pedestal bearing (17) is pressed into the groove (08) of the intermediate profile (10) and firmly connected to it. Fig. Figure 5 shows the edge profile (01) in cross-section. It shows how the longitudinal connector (19) or external connector (14) is fastened with the threaded screw (15) in the horizontal threaded channel (06) and how the edge profile (91) is connected longitudinally. Furthermore, the pedestal support plate with pin / spring (18) of the height-adjustable pedestal (17) is pressed into the groove (08) of the edge profile (01) and firmly connected to it. Fig. Figure 6 shows the complete cross-sectional structure of the edge profiles (01) and intermediate profiles (10). The external connectors (14) are connected by threaded screws (15) in the horizontal threaded channel (06) of the edge profiles (01) and intermediate profile (10). The height-adjustable pedestals (17) are firmly connected to the pedestal support plate with pin / spring (18) via the groove (08). The panel (25) rests on the support surface (05) of the edge profiles (01) and intermediate profiles (10) with the joint cross receptacles (21) and joint crosses (22). The cover / tread surface (02) of the edge profile (01) provides a high-quality covering for the panel's cut edge (25). A cover plate (24) is mounted on the recess (04) of the edge profile (01), which neatly seals the system at the bottom. Through the joint (23) rainwater and dirt can flow downwards through the cavity (11) of the intermediate profile (10) and through the profile. Fig. Figure 7 shows the top view of the structure of the edge profiles (01), intermediate profiles (10), and support profiles (12). It can be seen how the intermediate profile (10) rests on the horizontal web (09) of the edge profile. Furthermore, the support profiles (12) rest on the horizontal web (09) of the edge profiles (01) and intermediate profiles (10). Fig. Figure 8 shows the top view of the assembly of the edge profiles (01), intermediate profiles (10), and support profiles (12). It shows how the intermediate profile (10) rests on the horizontal web (09) of the edge profile. Furthermore, the support profiles (12) rest on the horizontal web (09) of the edge profiles (01) and intermediate profiles (10). It also shows how the edge profiles (01), intermediate profiles (10), and support profiles (12) are connected and fastened with the corner connectors (20) and longitudinal connectors (19) and the threaded screws (15) in the horizontal threaded channel (06). Fig.Figure 9 shows the horizontal threaded channel (06) schematically and in a larger cross-sectional view. It can be seen that the horizontal threaded channel (06) is designed with threaded grooves / guides in the longitudinal direction so that a threaded screw (15) can be screwed directly into it to fasten a connector (14 / 19 / 20).
