Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a chimney support for supporting a chimney.

[0002] A chimney can be connected to one or more combustion appliances and can serve to vent gas, produced in particular by combustion processes in the one or more combustion appliances, into the atmosphere. A chimney can comprise one or more gas channels or gas ducts. The one or more gas channels can be surrounded by an outer casing. An air space for air distribution and / or thermal insulation can be arranged between the one or more gas channels and the outer casing. In particular, the outer casing and the one or more gas channels can be formed from relatively short longitudinal sections. Joints can be arranged between two longitudinal sections. The longitudinal sections can be sealed together. A chimney can have a polygonal cross-section, in particular square or rectangular.A chimney of this type can have a cross-sectional width of up to 3 meters and / or a length of up to 3 meters. Alternatively, a chimney can have a round or oval cross-section. A chimney of this type can have a radius of up to 1.5 meters.

[0003] A chimney can extend, at least in sections, substantially vertically through one or more floors of a building. One end of a chimney can protrude freely from the roof structure of the building. A chimney can be surrounded by one or more supporting elements of the roof, in particular rafters, beams, battens, and / or purlins. A chimney can project above the roof structure between two rafters. At least one outer surface of a chimney can be aligned parallel to at least one roof support, such as a rafter. A chimney can present a surface to external forces, in particular wind forces. External forces can cause bending stresses in the chimney. Bending stresses can damage the chimney.

[0004] Conventional chimney brackets can support, fix, and / or reduce the chimney's bending length. Chimney brackets can represent the final roof-side fixing of a chimney. They can support one or more outer faces of a chimney, particularly in the area of ​​the chimney's corners or the sections of the outer faces adjacent to a corner. Chimney brackets can be connected to the roof structure, especially to a roof truss. The roof trusses adjacent to the chimney can serve as a counter-bearing for a chimney bracket. Chimney brackets can transfer external forces acting on the chimney into the roof structure.

[0005] Depending on the wind region and the chimney design, particularly the type of chimney or its overhang height relative to the roof, different requirements apply to the chimney support. For example, the chimney overhang height may be at least 0.5 meters, in particular at least 1 meter, in particular at least 2 meters, in particular at most 5 meters, in particular at least 3 meters. Similarly, the expected wind loads acting on the chimney can vary depending on the region.

[0006] DE 20 2007 004 728 U1 discloses a chimney support with a pair of L-shaped retaining elements that can be connected to each other to encircle the chimney. The retaining elements can be attached to roof rafters on both sides of the chimney. Each retaining element has a transverse leg, a longitudinal leg, and a fastening extension that extends outwards from the transverse leg in the opposite direction.

[0007] DE 10023419 C2 discloses a support structure for a smoke extraction duct with a roof penetration, comprising four angle elements. The angle elements include a mounting plate with a fitting having an L-shaped cross-section. One leg of the fitting is rotatably connected to the plate by a connecting element.
