DEVICE FOR FASTENING A FINISHING STRIP

Abstract

A device for fastening an end strip (9) has a mounting bracket (1) forming a wall leg (3). The mounting bracket comprises a receiving web (8) that protrudes upwardly and is arranged offset transversely to the wall leg (3), and engages into a downwardly open receiving groove (10) of the end strip (9) to clampingly accommodate the end strip (9), and further comprises an elastic securing tongue (11) that is bent out of the receiving web (8) and latches into a latching recess (18) of the end strip (9). The securing tongue (11) forms a clamping web (14), which originates from the free longitudinal edge (13) of the receiving web (8) and is bent out towards the wall leg (3), and an adjoining latching web (15), which is bent back against the receiving web (8) and latches into the latching recess (18) of the end strip (9).

Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0010] In the drawing, the object of the invention is shown, for example. It shows

[0011] FIG. 1 a mounting bracket of a device according to the invention for fastening an end strip to a wall in a side view,

[0012] FIG. 2 this mounting bracket in a section according to line II-II of FIG. 1,

[0013] FIG. 3 a end strip fastened to a wall with the aid of a device according to the invention in a section through the mounting bracket on a larger scale corresponding to FIG. 2, and

[0014] FIG. 4 a representation of an embodiment of the device according to the invention corresponding to FIG. 3.

WAYS TO CARRY OUT THE INVENTION

[0015] The device according to the invention has a mounting bracket 1, for example made of plastic, which forms a wall leg 3 that can be fastened to a wall 2 and is provided with at least one long hole 4 for a fastening screw. The wall leg 3 projects from a base leg 5, which is connected to the wall leg 3 via a predetermined breaking point 6 and can be separated from the wall leg 3 if necessary. With the aid of the floor leg 5, the mounting bracket 1 can be supported on a floor covering 7, whereby the height position of the mounting bracket relative to the floor covering 7 is easily fixed.

[0016] In the upper edge region, the wall leg 3 forms a receiving web 8 for the end strip 9 to be fastened to the wall 2, which for this purpose has a downwardly open receiving groove 10 for the receiving web 8. The receiving web 8, which is offset away from the wall 2 relative to the wall leg 3 and runs approximately parallel to the wall 2 or to the wall leg 3, is provided with two elastic securing tongues 11 arranged on both sides of the long hole 4, which are provided in a passage opening 12 of the receiving web 8 and form a clamping web 14 starting from the free longitudinal edge 13 of the receiving web 8 and a latching web 15 attached to the clamping web 14. While the clamping web 14, which is preferably provided with clamping ribs 16, is bent away from the longitudinal edge 13 of the receiving web 8 towards the wall leg 3, the latching web 15 attached to the clamping web 14 has a course that is bent back towards the receiving web 8.

[0017] If the end strip 9 is placed on the mounting bracket 1 fastened to a wall 2, the upwardly projecting receiving web 8 of the mounting bracket 1 engages in the downwardly open receiving groove 10 of the end strip 9, whereby according to FIG. 3 the clamping web 14 is bent back against the receiving web 8 by the groove wall 17 on the wall side in an elastic, spring-like manner. With this pivoting displacement of the clamping web 14, which forms an actuator for the latching web 15, the latching web 15 is also pivoted into its latching position, in which it latches into a latching recess 18 of the end strip 9 in an elastic, spring-like manner. The engagement of the clamping web 14 in the receiving groove 10 and of the latching web 15 in the latching recess 18 under an elastic pretension results in a simple and positionally secure fastening of the end strip 9. The end strip 9 is indeed pressed against the wall 2 by the clamping web 14 resting against the groove wall 17 and is additionally subjected to a tilting moment by the latching web 15, which additionally ensures that the end strip 9 rests against the wall. This does not adversely affect the pull-off protection of the end strip 9 by the latching web 15.

[0018] As can be seen directly from FIG. 3, the end strip 9 could be tilted away from the wall 2 by the action of a force in the floor area around the free longitudinal edge 13 of the receiving web 8 due to the pivotability of the securing tongue 11 in the area of the upper longitudinal edge if this is not prevented by a stop. In FIG. 4, the retainer 1 is provided with such a stop 19, which is arranged on the side of the latching web 15 opposite the free longitudinal edge 13 of the receiving web 8 and thus reliably prevents the end strip 9 from tilting about the free longitudinal edge 13 of the receiving web 8.

[0019] For this purpose, the mounting bracket 1 can advantageously be provided with two side flanks 20 projecting from the wall leg 3, each forming a stop 19, as shown in FIG. 4 and indicated by dashed dots in FIG. 1.
