Description

The invention relates to a ceiling mounting device for a room separation element and a room partition provided therewith.

Room separation refers to building components that divide a large room and thus separate a smaller room from another smaller room. In particular, the invention is in the field of fixed glazing, by means of which spaces within a building are divided into several subspaces, but still preserves a generous impression of width. Although space partitions according to the invention are generally fixed to the building, in particular a ceiling or a wall, they do not constitute supporting walls and thus do not form part of the supporting structure of the building.

Fixed glazings are provided, for example, for the purpose of fire protection or sound insulation reasons or to create different work areas or the like. If fixed glazing is provided for the purpose of fire protection, then they are designed in fire protection execution according to applicable fire protection standards. For example, the fixed glazings are tested fire protection elements that have been tested to ensure that they can withstand the passage of fire from one room to another over a minimum test period. If the fixed glazings are designed for smoke protection, they will withstand the passage of flue gases from one room to another over a predetermined test period.

Such glazed room partitions have at least one or more glass panes. There are frame glazings where the glass panes are held in frames and frameless glazings where the glazings have no visible frame members. The glass sheets of frameless glazing are e.g. attached directly to a masonry or ceiling at the bottom of the floor.

Now, as a rule, buildings are not completely immovable, but designed in such a way that parts of the supporting structure, that is to say in particular ceilings, floors and walls, can to a certain extent move. For example, larger solid blankets are more likely to occur when resonance vibrations occur during construction work, large vehicles, airplanes, in the case of light earth impacts or even when movements of e.g. higher buildings due to storm influences in vibrations. Also, after completion of a new building walls can be set so that solid walls and ceilings are still shifted to some extent to each other.

In order that such movements of solid parts of a building do not lead to the destruction of glass panes of fixed glazing attached thereto, ceiling fixtures have already been provided for fixing upper edge areas of fixed glazing, which allow a fixing of the glass to the ceiling, but a certain relative displacement between the ceiling and allow the upper edge of the fixed glazing in the vertical direction.

An internal earlier construction of such ceiling fixture 100 is in the 6 shown in more detail. 6 shows a ceiling mount 100 one as fixed glazing 102 executed room separation 104 , The former fixed glazing 102 is as frame glazing 106 executed, with an upper frame spar 108 on which the glass panes 110 by means of glass retaining strips 112 are secured by the ceiling mounting device 100 on the ceiling 114 of the building are attached. The ceiling fixture 100 is for sliding attachment of a space separating element, namely here the upper frame spar 100 , on the ceiling 114 trained in the building, and has one on the ceiling 114 to be fastened metallic guide element 118 on. The guide element is for the sliding positive engagement of an upper edge region of the upper frame spar 108 educated. This is done such that the upper frame spar 108 is prevented from moving horizontally, but relative to the ceiling 114 can perform a vertical movement.

Thus, a movement in the vertical direction relative to the ceiling 114 is possible between this top of the frame spar 108 and the ceiling 114 a distance 128 left free so that is between the ceiling 114 and frame spar 108 forming a gap.

Left and right of the frame spar 108 are cover strips 130 . 131 intended. The cover strips 130 on the one hand have decorative function, on the other hand, they are for the purpose of fire protection to cover the by the distance 128 formed gap 132 intended.

In fire protection version have both the upper frame spar 108 as well as the cover strips 130 . 131 strip 134 made of intumescent material on to the gap 132 foam in case of fire. The cover strips 130 . 131 are by separate screws 136 each left and right of the frame spar 108 on the ceiling 114 attached.

In the 6 construction shown is especially for room separations 104 provided, in which frame elements - eg the frame spar 108 - and cover strips 130 . 131 made of non-metallic materials, in particular based on wood materials.

The construction according to 6 has proved its worth. In particular, this design offers a high degree of flexibility in the choice of materials and yet a high degree of flexibility in the execution of special functions, such as in particular fire protection, sound insulation or the like.

In particular, at least for the cover strips 24 . 25 Non-metal materials, such as wood-metal materials provided. There is a wide variety of different optical appearance options by selecting appropriate cover strips 24 . 25 possible.

Also the frame spar 48 may be formed from very different materials and also in particular from wood materials. Again, a wide variety of different visual appearances is possible.

By using a metal profile, which has a guide channel 26 can also be compared to the known construction with respect to the frame glazing 46 the production of the frame spar 48 considerably simplify. In addition, so is a guide of glass panes 42 directly on the ceiling possible without the upper frame spar 48 should be provided in between.

The ceiling fixture 14 can be largely prefabricated in a factory. For example, the cover strips 24 . 25 already factory-made with the leg sections 30 . 32 or with the mounting plate (s) 66 / Fastening strip 74 get connected.

For mounting then simply enough attachment of the metallic guide element 18 by means of the fastening means - for example by means of screws 36 - on the ceiling 16 , possibly with interposition of the mounting plate (s) 66 / Fastening strip 74 ,

The ceiling fixture 14 is usable in basically the same basic construction for different glazing constructions. With the same basic structure can optionally have a frameless glazing 12 or a frame glazing 46 flexible with provision of a possible travel 64 be attached to the ceiling.

In addition to the illustrated embodiments, deviating embodiments are also provided. For example, the metallic guide element 18 not be formed by a one-piece U-profile, it could also be constructed of several parts. For example, the U-profile could be divided longitudinally into two L-profiles, wherein on the ceiling horizontally to be arranged leg sections are directed towards each other. The one-piece U-profile has advantages in terms of easier installation. The design with two L-profiles has the advantage that with the same L-profiles different thicknesses can be handled by leading to room separation elements by a corresponding distance between the profiles.

In the illustrated embodiments, the glazings 12 . 46 in smoke protection design with sealing strips 56 shown. But it is also an embodiment without smoke protection and / or a design in fire protection execution possible. In design in fire protection (not shown) is in particular in the guide channel 26 Intumescent material provided.
