Description

The The invention relates to a cladding element for a wall and / or a Ceiling with a clamping frame, which with a flexible end face material covered, and with a fastener for attachment the tenter on the wall and / or ceiling.

The clamping frame technology and corresponding clamping frame itself are known in particular from the display technology. So are from the US 3,934,365 . US 4,317,302 . US 3,982,345 Display devices are known in which a flexible, mostly printed fabric is stretched on a frame covering a housing opening, which is equipped with lights for illuminating the fabric from the rear.

Corresponding from the EP 0 114 453 A1 known display devices are also partially provided with a connection between the clamping frame and housing such that the clamping frame can be opened for maintenance of the housing. It is either a simple hook-like projection which is hooked into a corresponding groove, or a hinge of the simplest kind with two plates pivotally connected via a bolt.

In the display devices used clamping frames in which the tissue is clamped by means of clamping members in the frame profile circumferential grooves are, for. B. in the EP 0 326 487 B1 and EP 0548 691 B1 disclosed.

The catalog "EPS Profiled Systems" by the company EuroProSign from 57074 Siegen (Germany), which originates from the EP 0548 691 B1 known display devices with clamping frame directly (product EPS LUMI-Grip Display S-53) or on separate profiles (product EPS LUMI-2000 display S-85 or S-112) to be mounted on a wall.

adversely in the tenter frame known from the prior art, that the clamping frame with the housing or profile are firmly connected or fixed. Thus, one would be exact alignment of the clamping frame on the wall already at the Installation necessary or subsequent alignment not possible. A subsequent change However, it is not readily available or possible. However, the Clamping frames usually manufacturing and assembly tolerances. In addition comes the fact that few rooms or buildings plan and / or vertically extending walls or Have blankets. The walls and blankets usually have bumps and do not always run exactly vertical or horizontal. A subsequent alignment of the clamping frame when used as a cladding for a wall or ceiling is therefore mostly necessary and desired.

This is especially important when multiple tenter frames are juxtaposed are to complete or partially planar Cladding a wall or ceiling, etc. make. This is because everyone has to Tenter or trim elements matched exactly and be aligned. This affects both the distance (gap) of the individual Clamping frame to each other and their distance from the wall or ceiling and the orientation of their surfaces. Otherwise would z. B. an unsightly Optics received. So it is desired the tenter frames in a common plane and evenly spaced of one another and uniform alignment with each other.

Especially Critical is the orientation of the cladding elements of the walls and Ceilings in concert halls, music or theater halls, etc. With such acoustic walls and ceilings occur next to the unwanted Optics additionally Impairments or changes the acoustics, if they are not exactly aligned.

in addition does the need for access to the clad surfaces, z. As wall or ceiling, provide, so that z. B. a revision or Maintenance behind the paneling lying facilities, by the paneling is covered, is possible. This should be without disassembly of the cladding elements can be done.

The The object of the invention is therefore a cladding element for a wall and / or a ceiling to provide the tenter in a common plane and evenly spaced arranged from one another and uniform alignment to each other can be and that allows access to the wall or ceiling without disassembly. In addition, the cladding element to be created should be subsequently aligned allow in particular manufacturing and assembly tolerances and To compensate for bumps, etc. and therefore to the flat paneling suitable. additionally should the cladding element for the construction of acoustic walls or Ceilings are suitable.

These The object is achieved by the reproduced in claim 1 invention.

Characterized in that cladding element between the fastener and the clamping frame comprises at least one pivotable and adjusting means comprehensive hinge connection, the respective clamping frame for maintenance and / or revision of the underlying wall or ceiling can be opened without disassembly. Thus, in or on the clad surface intended installations, such. As electrical equipment, accessible without much effort.

Further it is possible by the existing adjustment means to align the tenter. So z. B. a uniform covering a wall or ceiling with a plurality of juxtaposed and superposed cladding elements whose view is "uniform". The clamping frames can So despite assembly tolerances or inaccuracies in a common Level and evenly spaced of one another and uniform alignment with each other.

It is understood that the clamping frame also in the context of the invention over more pivotable as a hinge connection with the fastener can be connected. In particular, two are usually at different Used ends of a frame side arranged hinge connections become. For big ones Cladding elements or clamping frame, the number of hinge connections increased accordingly become.

Under Wall in the present application is any approximately vertical one Area, z. B. in or on a building or space, to understand the attachment of a cladding element allowed, so in particular is sufficiently sustainable. These include u. a. "normal" walls, posts, Support, partitions etc. These are also degradable exhibition walls, z. B. be understood from the exhibition.

Under Ceiling in the present application is about horizontal or horizontal inclined surface, z. B. in or on a building or space, to understand the attachment of a cladding element allowed, so in particular is sufficiently sustainable. These include u. a. "normal" horizontally running Ceilings, roof pitches, cross members etc. These are also degradable exhibition ceilings, z. B. from the Stand construction can be understood.

advantageously, the adjusting means are designed such that they have an orientation of the clamping frame opposite the fastening element in at least one spatial direction, in particular allow two spatial directions, preferably three spatial directions. Thus, a subsequent accurate and precise Alignment of the clamping frame via the adjustment regarding the fastener or the wall or ceiling without disassembly possible. Especially can so the distances of the individual cladding elements when using multiple adjacent arranged lining elements or clamping frame evenly or be aligned uniformly.

Of the So tenter should be parallel to itself in a horizontal be slidable plane running. Next to the tenter be adjustable in the vertical. Thus, in the wall mounting the distance of the tenter to the wall and also its horizontal Position on the wall displaceable, so compared to other paneling elements or clamping frame adjustable. Also, the height of the position of the clamping frame changed on the wall become. When ceiling mounting are appropriate position settings or adjustments relative to the ceiling possible.

In the simplest embodiment could The hinge connection theoretically by moving after loosening the Fixing screws moved within possibly provided oblong holes become. However, this is expensive because the cladding held it must be so that possibly two people necessary for alignment are, and the alignment is less accurate and may not be permanent is, d. H. Reoriented after unfolding the tenter must become. Such an embodiment should therefore not under the Fall invention.

If the adjusting means comprise at least one adjusting element results a particularly simple and reliable construction of the hinge connection, in addition, without releasing the fastening screws, so holding the panel by pressing the Adjustment allows alignment. The adjustment can z. B. an adjusting screw, adjusting spindle, an eccentric pin or screw or a rocker.

Preferably the hinge connection comprises two mutually pivotable Fasteners, wherein the adjusting element whose pivot axis shifts. The fastening parts are therefore each on the tenter or fastener set.

It is advantageous if at least one fastening part is formed with a fastening piece and an adjusting piece and the adjusting element changes the position of the adjusting piece relative to the fastening piece in the adjusting direction. Then z. As the fitter the clamping frame by tilting, moving, twisting, etc. accurately and permanently align, without causing the tenter unhooked or held would. For this purpose, then the adjustable adjustment relative to the fixed attachment piece z. B. moved by turning a trained as eccentric adjustment.

Next the adjustment of the horizontal and / or vertical position of the hinge axis it is often desired the tenter frame by "twisting" in its mounting plane to align them at right angles to each other for a uniform appearance ("Grid") to reach. To it makes sense if the adjusting means are designed such that it is a twisting of the clamping frame relative to the fastener about an axis approximately perpendicular to the plane of the clamping frame allow. You can do this z. B. the adjusting means, as set out above, be adjusted, wherein it possible is opposite to the adjusting means of two hinge connections Adjust to prevent the tenter from twisting To achieve fastener to the appropriate extent.

Further should the surfaces all clamping frames lie in a common plane, including the Justiermittel are formed such that they tilt the clamping frame relative to the Fastener about an approximately horizontal and / or approximately vertical allow in the plane of the clamping frame extending axis. Consequently can be a two-dimensional arrangement or alignment of all cladding elements can be achieved. This can be done after assembly and gradually. Here too can it may be necessary to adjust the adjustment means of two hinge connections to adjust in the opposite direction.

In order to the unfolded clamping frame remains in the respective position, which is necessary in particular for non-perpendicular alignment of the hinge axis is, and not " or falls ", can the hinge connection in one embodiment Have latching means, which the wing part in any predetermined pivoted positions relative to the Define frame part.

advantageously, includes the fastener and / or the hinge connection Folding protection element on, so that the clamping frame, despite the hinged Connection to the fastener not, z. B. at attachment on the ceiling, swinging up by its weight alone. Can do this z. B. usual and known Velcro or magnetic fasteners or safety bolts or - bolt be provided. In one embodiment can the Aufklappschutzelement formed by the locking means itself be.

advantageously, the fastening element comprises a vertical profile, a horizontal profile or a profile frame. The use of angle plates or wooden strips is however also conceivable. these can z. B. as C-shaped, Z-shaped or T-shaped sheets be designed depending on the location and the local requirements.

Of the Tensioning frame can over the hinge connection (s) with the fastener either laterally, d. H. on an approximately vertical fastening element, or above or below, d. H. at an approximately horizontally extending Attachment be attached, so in the manner of a door or a Flap.

Usually is the tenter used from interconnected hollow sections formed, which have a circumferential groove into which the flexible Face material is trapped to wriggle the tenter frame with him wrinkle-free.

Then it makes sense if the hinge connection via a into a hollow profile of the clamping frame added T-nut with the clamping frame clamping connected is. This allows easy connection and subsequent Solve and Moving the clamping frame relative to the hinge connection. Thus, this can be mounted first, without the tenter already connected to her. Then the clamping frame can then over the or the sliding blocks are attached. The move also allows possibly an adjustment of the position of the clamping frame large extent, what alone would not be possible with the Justiermitteln.

In a preferred embodiment, the hinge connection for this purpose via a releasable Snap mechanism, z. B. by clipping, with the tenter or slot nut connectable. Thus, the tenter can be removed if necessary without changing the set orientation or would have to be set again when reattaching.

The used hinge connection can also more than one pivot axis have, d. H. a non-part circular movement when opening and Shut down To run, as this z. B. often commercially available strap hinges from the furniture and kitchen construction is known. The use of such hinges as a hinge connection is particularly preferred. Their use has the big advantage that the butt joints or gap dimensions, d. H. the distance of each clamping frame to each other, even smaller can fail, because the non-part circular Movement requires or allows a smaller footprint when closing and opening. Consequently a particularly good cladding is achieved.

As flexible end material come all the usual and known for tenter ever materials suitable for the purpose of use. In particular, technical and textile fabrics of crossed threads of materials such as wool, cotton, synthetic fibers, etc. or of non-textile materials such. B. coal, metal, glass and asbestos fibers used. Preferably, a Batyline fabric is used.

The cladding elements according to the invention are particularly suitable for the use as acoustic wall and / or ceiling cladding or around rooms to retrofit with such. So z. B. introduced an acoustic insulation between the fasteners or profiles or be attached to the wall or ceiling, as they are from the tenter frame is covered. Therefore, no consideration for the optics or the appearance of the acoustic insulation can be taken and the optimal selection can be made on the basis of the acoustic Properties are made.

It it is clarified that under cladding element in the present Registration no display device should be understood as they from the introduction to the description.

Especially are the above-explained Cladding elements as a wall and / or ceiling cladding, wherein a plurality of juxtaposed facing elements is used.

Further Features, details and advantages of the invention will become apparent the following description of the drawing. Show it:

1 a view of a section of a provided with a variety of inventive wall panels wall;

2 a view on a single wall panel 1 from the back;

3 the wall paneling off 2 in horizontal section above the hinge connection;

4 the wall paneling off 2 in vertical section in a plane extending in front of the hinge axis plane;

5 a perspective view of the wall panel 1 to 4 in the area of the hinge connection from the rear in the opened state.

1 shows a view of a section of one with a variety of inventive wall coverings 2 provided wall 1 , The wall coverings 2 are each evenly spaced by vertical distances 3 and horizontal distances 4 spaced from each other and their fronts lie in a common plane, so that a uniform appearance results.

The wall coverings 2 include clamping frames 5 , Only those through the tenter 5 formed fronts of the panels are in 1 visible, noticeable. These are from the flexible endface material 6 formed, with which the individual clamping frames 5 are covered. In the present case, the individual clamping frames 5 covered with batyline fabric.

Out 2 goes the back of a single wall panel 2 out 1 out. Visible are thus next to the clamping frame 5 whose profile frame 7 , the back of the flexible face material 6 and a fastener 8th and three each a pivotal connection between these forming hinge connections 10 , evenly over the height of the wall cladding 2 are distributed.

The construction works 3 to 5 closer.

The profile frame 7 is formed of interconnected hollow profiles, which have a circumferential groove 12 in which the flexible end face material 6 by means of terminal strips 11 is trapped (see. 3 ) to string the tenter frame wrinkle-free and detachable.

The fastener 8th is designed as a vertically extending hollow square profile, which on the wall 1 is screwed on. For this purpose, corresponding holes in the front of the profile 9 provided, through which the fastening material (eg dowels and screws) can be introduced and is accessible. Each square profile 8th serves as a fastener of a panel 2 and at the same time as a stop for a tenter 5 ' a neighboring further disguise 2 ' (see. 1 and 3 ). Of course, also deviating from two clamping frames can be attached to different sides and / or heights of a fastener. The same applies to ceiling panels.

Between the square profile 8th and the tenter 5 are each at the top, in the middle and below the hinge joints in the form of hinges 10 attached to the tenter 5 with the square profile 8th pivotable to connect (see. 3 and 4 ). As hinges 10 commercial furniture hinges are used.

Each hinge band 10 is both with the appropriate clamping frame 5 as well as with the corresponding square profile 8th connected.

This is a fixing part 13 of the hinge 10 on the square profile 8th as a so-called Topfbandteil 20 formed, ie as in the square profile 8th sunk component or mounting part executed. This is an advantage as the square profile 8th more space for the hinge strap 10 as the profile 7 of the clamping frame 5 has and so a part of the hinge strap 10 can be received in the pivoted state. The pot band part 20 is via a pivot lever 19 with the hinge strap 10 connected. The swivel lever 19 is about several pivot axes with the Topfbandteil 20 and the hinge band 10 hinged, so that when opening and closing a non-part circular motion is completed, as is common in furniture and kitchen hinge bands, so that the gap or the vertical distance 3 can be particularly small without the tenter 5 on the adjacent clamping frame 5 ' abuts.

On the tenter 5 or its profile 7 is the other attachment part 14 of the hinge 10 arranged, which is formed in two parts. The actual attachment is via a mounting plate 15 made by means of screws with a sliding block 16 which is in a corresponding groove 17 the profiles 7 is arranged, is connected by clamping. On the mounting plate 15 becomes an adjustment piece 18 the hinge connection 10 latched mounted, ie clipped (cf. 5 ). The mounting plate 15 has a block-like elevation 24 on, each left and right a hook-like projection 25 . 26 in which the adjusting piece 18 when clipped into place. To release is a corresponding lever 27 (please refer 3 ) provided, the left projection 25 releases and thus the separation of Verstellstückes 18 from the mounting plate 15 allowed.

To the tenter frame 5 opposite the fastener 8th to adjust in order to achieve a desired, in particular uniform alignment of all clamping frames, adjusting means are also provided. In the present case, the second fastening part is via the adjusting means 14 adjusted so that the vertical distances 3 and horizontal distances 4 are adjustable.

In the example shown, the adjusting means comprise on the one hand an eccentric screw 21 on the mounting plate 15 for height adjustment, so setting the respective horizontal distance 4 , By turning the eccentric screw 21 will the survey 24 opposite the mounting plate 15 displaced in the vertical direction, taking on the mounting plate 15 is supported and guided by this.

In addition, the adjusting means comprise two additional screws 22 . 23 on the adjustment piece 18 that an adjustment relative to the mounting plate 15 allow.

The one screw 22 is designed for depth adjustment as an eccentric, opposite to the mounting plate 15 is supported and the adjustment piece 18 moves against this, leaving the distance of the tenter 5 from the fastener 8th or wall 1 can be adjusted by twisting.

The other screw 23 is designed as a screw and raises or lowers the adjustment piece during a rotation 18 relative to the mounting plate, so that in the closed state of the clamping frame a horizontally directed adjustment, d. h Setting the vertical distance 3 results.

Should the cladding element ( 2 ) about an approximately perpendicular to the plane of the tenter ( 5 ) standing axis are aligned because its sides are not parallel to the other clamping frame, so can twisting of the clamping frame ( 5 ) relative to the fastening element ( 8th ) by different adjustment of the upper, middle and lower hinge connection 10 can be achieved in a horizontal direction. Accordingly, a tilting of the clamping frame ( 5 ) relative to the fastening element ( 8th ) about a horizontal and / or approximately vertical in the plane of the clamping frame ( 5 ), so that it lies in a common plane with other cladding elements.

It It goes without saying that other possibilities of design the adjusting means or adjusting means are within the scope of the invention, such as B. as a rocker.
