Abstract
A partition wall includes two columns, which are elongated with respect to respective column axes. The columns are arranged to be spaced apart from one another in parallel. A plurality of bases is provided. A portion of the columns is associated with a respective single base, which is fastened at a lower end of the relevant column. All bases can be fastened to a common subsurface. A laminar separating element is fastened between two adjacent columns. The columns each include two separate half-columns which are elongated with respect to the associated column axis, and abut one another transversely to the respective column axis. The half-columns are directly fastened to the associated base. An associated laminar separating element is directly fastened to at least one half-column of a two-piece column. A corresponding base and a method for assembling the partition wall are disclosed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0040]
[0041] Two adjacent two-piece columns 14 or the two corresponding adjacent half-columns (no. 22 in
[0042] In the present case, a laminar separating element 12 is received in each rectangle, which is circumscribed by two half-columns (no. 22 in
[0043] In the region of a buckle 16 of the partition wall 10, two two-piece columns 14 are arranged directly adjacent one another, wherein the corresponding bases 30 touch one another with an articulation appendage (no. 45 in
[0044] Reference is further made to the sliding door 80 and the swinging door 81, which are arranged according to the aforementioned website.
[0045]
[0046] In
[0047] The bottom 33 comprises two fastening appendages 35 which protrude over the U-legs 34 transversely to the column axis 21. These are each equipped with a flat support surface 36, which rests directly on the subsurface (no. 11 in
[0048] In
[0049]
[0050] The base 30 is overall configured as a U-shape, wherein reference is made to the details already explained with reference to
[0051] The second and the third breakthroughs 42; 43 in the U-legs 34 are each configured as an oblong hole, which is elongated in the direction of the column axis 21. Each of the second breakthroughs 42 is associated with a circular cylindrical auxiliary breakthrough 47, which is arranged flush with the respective second breakthrough 42 in the direction of the column axis 21. A self-tapping screw can be screwed into the auxiliary breakthrough 47, which screw digs into the alignment flute (no. 59 in
[0052] Furthermore, reference should be made to the alignment appendages 44 extending from the bottom 33 in the direction of the column axis 21. The two alignment appendages 44a each engage with the central screw channel (no. 58 in
[0053]
[0054] The groove 53 is preferably designed in accordance with EP 918 121 B2. Accordingly, their parallel side walls 54 are equipped with a sawtooth profile, which makes it more difficult to pull out the laminar separating element from the groove 53. The aforementioned side walls 54 are oriented parallel to the shorter rectangular side 51, wherein the groove 53 is arranged at the outer edge of the cross-sectional shape.
[0055] The remaining three outer sides of the cross-sectional shape are each equipped with an undercut groove 56. The corresponding groove cross-sectional shapes 57 are T-shaped in the known manner, so that they can receive groove stones and/or hammer screws. By means of the first undercut groove 56a, which faces the open side of the groove 53, the upper and the lower transverse beam (no. 23; 24 in
[0056] It would be obvious to also use the third undercut groove 56c elsewhere in order to join the two half-columns 22 of a two-piece column. However, the second connector according to
[0057] The present cross-sectional shape 50 is optimized for low-warpage and material-saving manufacture in the aluminum extrusion process. It therefore has a largely constant wall thickness everywhere, wherein cavities are provided in the interior.
[0058]
[0059] A first, a second, and a third appendage 61; 62; 63 protrude from the plate section 64 in the direction of the column axis (no. 21 in
[0060] The third appendage 63 is double-T-shaped, so that it simultaneously engages with the third undercut grooves (no. 56c in
[0061]
[0062] The second connector 70 is preferably made of sheet metal, i.e., a laminar plate having a constant thickness, which is most preferably made of aluminum, in particular pre-anodized aluminum. The plate section 73 has a rectangular outline, wherein a total of four rectangular alignment tabs 71 protrude therefrom, which are bent 90? opposite the plate section 73. The alignment tabs 71 each plunge into an associated second undercut groove 56b on one of the two half-columns 22.
[0063] The plate section 73 is further penetrated by two screws 72, which are preferably configured as countersunk screws, wherein the screws 72 are each screwed into a groove block, which is received in an associated second undercut groove 56b and which engages rearwardly therewith, so that the second connector 70 is fixedly screwed to both half-columns 22 of a two-piece column 14 by means of the screws 72.

[0068] Subsequently, a half-column 87 is assembled at the beginning of the partition wall, which is not associated with any laminar separating element. The two half-columns 22, 87 of the two-piece column 14 shown on the left in

[0070] At the end, the half-column 87 shown on the right in
[0071] The screws 86 are gradually screwed from the starting base 89 onto the associated base 30 so that no stresses result.
[0072]
[0073] Then, all further bases 30, i.e., all bases 30 except the starting base 87, are screwed to the subsurface 11. The corresponding screws 86 are fastened in the subsurface 11 by means of concrete screws, for example. The screwing is carried out sequentially from the starting base 89 so that no stresses arise in the partition wall.
[0074]
[0075] The second embodiment is more rational than the first embodiment in terms of assembly effort. However, the base 30 impedes the packaging and transport of the partition wall modules 13, so that the first embodiment is preferred.
