DEVICE FOR FASTENING A FINISHING STRIP

Abstract

A device for fastening a finishing strip (9) is described, comprising a mount (1), which forms a wall leg (3), and which has a downwardly protruding receptacle web (8) for the clamped holding of the finishing strip (9), which receptacle web (8) is offset transversely in relation to the wall leg (3) and engages in a receptacle groove (10) of the finishing strip (9), which receptacle groove (10) is open on the bottom. To provide advantageous construction conditions, it is proposed that the receptacle web (8) comprises at least three spring tongues (11, 12), which are arrayed adjacent in the web longitudinal direction and protrude upward freely, and which are bulged alternately concavely and convexly in relation to the wall leg (3) about axes parallel to the web.

Claims

1. A device for fastening a finishing strip (9), comprising a mount (1), which forms a wall leg (3), and which has a downwardly protruding receptacle web (8) for the clamped holding of the finishing strip (9), which receptacle web (8) is offset transversely in relation to the wall leg (3) and engages in a receptacle groove (10) of the finishing strip (9), which receptacle groove (10) is open on the bottom, characterized in that the receptacle web (8) comprises at least three spring tongues (11, 12), which are arrayed adjacent in the web longitudinal direction and protrude upward freely, and which are bulged alternately concavely and convexly in relation to the wall leg (3) about axes parallel to the web.

2. The device according to claim 1, characterized in that the spring tongues (11, 12) are provided on their outer sides facing away from one another with catch ribs extending in the web longitudinal direction.

3. The device according to claim 1 or 2, characterized in that the spring tongues (11, 12) cross one another and form additional catch supports with the crossing ends (14).

4. The device according to any one of claims 1 to 3, characterized in that the spring tongues (11) extending concavely in relation to the wall leg (3) originate from the wall leg (3) and the spring tongues (12) extending convexly in relation to the wall leg (3) originate from a transverse web (15) protruding from the wall leg (3).

Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING

[0010] The subject matter according to the invention is illustrated by way of example in the drawings. In the figures

[0011] FIG. 1 shows a device according to the invention for fastening a finishing strip in a front view of the mount,

[0012] FIG. 2 shows a section along line II-II of FIG. 1 in a larger scale, and

[0013] FIG. 3 shows a section along line III-Ill of FIG. 1, also in a larger scale.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

[0014] The device according to the invention has a mount 1, for example, made of plastic, which forms a wall leg 3 fastenable on a wall 2, which is provided with at least one oblong hole 4 for a fastening screw. The wall leg 3 protrudes from a base leg 5, which is connected via an intended breakpoint 6 to the wall leg 3 and can be separated from the wall leg 3 if needed. With the aid of the base leg 5, the mount 1 can be supported on a floor covering 7. In the upper edge region, the wall leg 3 forms a receptacle web 8 for the finishing strip 9 to be fastened on the wall 2, which has a receptacle groove 10 open on top for the receptacle groove 7 for this purpose. The receptacle web 8, which is offset away from the wall 2 in relation to the wall leg 3, and which extends approximately parallel to the wall 2 or the wall leg 3, respectively, is composed of at least three, in the exemplary embodiment of four spring tongues 11 and 12 arrayed adjacent in the web longitudinal direction, which protrude upward freely and bulge out concavely and convexly alternately with respect to web-parallel axes in relation to the wall leg 3. As can be inferred from FIGS. 2 and 3, the spring tongues 11 have a concave profile in relation to the wall leg 3 and the spring tongues 12 have a convex profile, so that they are pressed against one another transversely to the groove walls with resilient pre-tension upon the plugging of the finishing strip 9 onto the mount 1 and fix the finishing strip 9 in a clamping manner. To secure the clamping connection, the bulges 13 have catch ribs extending in the web longitudinal direction on the outer sides thereof facing toward the groove walls of the receptacle groove 10, which are not shown for reasons of comprehensibility, however. To improve the clamping mounting of the finishing strip 9, the spring tongues 11, 12 can cross one another and form additional catch supports with the crossing ends 14, when the bulges 13 are displaced inward by the groove walls upon insertion into the receptacle groove 10 and thus the crossed ends 14 are displaced outward.

[0015] According to FIGS. 2 and 3, the spring tongues 11 extending concavely in relation to the wall leg 3 originate from the wall leg 3, but the spring tongues 12 extending convexly in relation to the wall leg 3 originate from a transverse web 15 protruding from the wall leg 3. The spring travel of the spring tongues 11, 12 protruding freely upward is enlarged by this measure with the effect that the equalization between a curved wall profile and a linear finishing strip 9 can be improved, without having to fear disadvantages with respect to the clamping accommodation of the finishing strip 9 by the receptacle web 8.

[0016] In addition, the mount 1 can be provided with at least one resilient locking hook 16, which latches in a catch receptacle 17 of the finishing strip 9 when the finishing strip 9 is plugged onto the receptacle web 8 of the mount 1, to additionally secure the finishing strip 9 from being unintentionally pulled off of the mount 1.
