Abstract
Description
[0001] The present innovation concerns an attachment for a light well, comprising a frame. The frame rests on the light well and holds a grating that covers the light well.
[0002] Such attachments are known from the prior art, but have the disadvantage that they are unsuitable for sloping and / or uneven connection surfaces.
[0003] The purpose of the present innovation was therefore to provide a paper that does not exhibit the disadvantages of the prior art.
[0004] The solution for the attachment of a light shaft is a frame, wherein several, in particular four, support feet are provided on the frame, each with a fastening end and an opposite support end, wherein a joint is provided between the two ends of all support feet.
[0005] The present invention relates to an extension for a light well, which has a frame. This frame is generally rectangular or square and has a recess at one end on which a grating rests. At the opposite end, several, in particular four, support feet are provided, with which the frame rests on the light well. Each foot has a fastening end and an opposing bearing end. The fastening end is connected to the frame and the bearing end rests on the light well.
[0006] As a new feature, a joint, in particular a ball joint, is now provided between the mounting end and the support end, allowing the angle between the two ends to be adjusted. This enables compensation for misalignments of the attachment.
[0007] Preferably, the support foot is provided in a height-adjustable manner on the frame, so that the length by which the end supporting the respective support foot protrudes from the frame can be adjusted.
[0008] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a cover is arranged on the frame, which is preferably reversibly attached to the frame, in particular by screw connections. This cover preferably covers the circumference of the light shaft at its upper end. The cover is preferably multi-part, in particular four-part, with each part being individually attached to the frame.
[0009] The frame and / or cover are preferably made of sheet metal.
[0010] A grating is attached to the frame, covering the light shaft.
[0011] A system comprising a light shaft on which the newly designed attachment rests is also claimed.
[0012] The innovation will now be explained using the characters. These explanations are merely examples and do not limit the general concept of the innovation. Fig. Figure 1 shows the new system. Fig. Figure 2 shows the revised essay. Fig. Figure 3 shows the stand. Fig. Figure 4 shows an exploded view of the frame and fairing. Fig. Figure 5 shows the assembled frame. Fig. Figure 6 shows the frame with the grating on top. Fig. Figure 7 shows the system with grating.
[0013] Fig. Figure 1 shows the innovative system 1, which has a light shaft 3 and an extension 2. The light shaft is attached to a house wall, for example, and the extension rests on top of it.
[0014] Fig. Figure 2 shows details of the inventive attachment 2. This attachment has a frame 7, preferably made of crimped sheet steel. In this case, the frame is rectangular. Support feet 4 are arranged at several points on the frame, here in the area of the corners. For this purpose, the frame has threaded sleeves 9 into which the support feet are screwed. The depth of insertion can be varied and secured, so that the attachment can be adapted, for example, to a slope in the attachment area.
[0015] Fig. Figure 3 shows details of the mounting base. This has a support end 13, which rests on the light well. The opposite end 12 is used to attach the mounting base to the frame 7. This end has a thread that screws into a receiving sleeve 9. This allows the length by which the support end 13 protrudes from the frame to be varied. The selected position can be secured with the nut 5. A joint 6, in this case a ball joint, is provided between the two ends 12 and 13, which, as shown, allows the angle between the two ends 12 and 13 to be changed.
[0016] This ensures that the support end always rests fully on the light well. The desired angle can be secured with nut 6.
[0017] Fig. 4 and Fig. Figure 5 shows the frame 7 with a fairing. The fairing consists of several, here four, individual parts, each of which is attached to the frame, here by means of screws. The number of fairing parts connected to the frame can be varied. Fig. There are four trim pieces, in 4. Fig. 5 only three cladding parts. In the present case, the cladding parts have a bulge which, when assembled, can encompass the outer circumference of the light shaft in its upper area.
[0018] Fig. Figure 6 shows the frame with the attached grating 10, which is received in a groove of the frame and is thus secured against slipping.
[0019] Fig. Figure 7 shows the new system. The attachment 2 rests on the light shaft 3, and the cladding covers the circumference of the light shaft in its upper area.
