Description

The invention relates to a cladding for angular, three-dimensional room elements for interiors, which consists of a gaze spanning at least the front of the three-dimensional space element and is held at the corners of the space element with fasteners or brackets. The invention further relates to brackets which are attached to the corners of the room element and are held there in a positionally and non-positively locking manner.
The cladding should be attached to this already when buying a room element, but it should also be able to be retrofitted to an existing room element.
Square, three-dimensional room elements are to be understood as those whose front side is an always closed surface. They can be made of wood, plastic or metal and z. B. as room partitions, compact radiators or advertising stands use. Such three-dimensional space elements are free in space or at a certain distance from a wall. They have a depth between 30 and 250 millimeters.

Room partitions are well known. They usually consist of a frame to which a wooden or plastic plate is attached, which is covered with a firmly attached, mostly pinned fabric.
Billboards, as they are often used in the reception areas of companies or at trade fairs, are also well-known. They are often designed similar to room partitions or they have instead of the wood or plastic plate, a metal plate on which can be used by means of different advertising media advertising. Panels for compact radiators or other heat exchangers have become known from various industrial property rights.

From the EP 1 467 040 A2 is a panel with a device known for their attachment. Thereafter, a mounted on a component and provided with fasteners panel should be temporarily suspended during renovations. The cladding is a wall or ceiling cladding consisting of several cladding elements. At its edge areas guides and hook devices are attached. An adjacent panel is provided with one or more clips. In these brackets, the temporarily suspended panel can be hung below the adjacent panel. The cladding should be plate-like and it may have a fabric. Their border areas are reinforced.
A disguise after the EP 1 467 040 A2 is not suitable for cladding the front of free-standing, angular three-dimensional room elements, such as partitions, advertising stands or radiators. It is expensive to produce, expensive, difficult and not to assemble by laymen or to dismantle reusable.

From the EP 0 787 955 B1 is a panel for panel radiators known. It consists of a front panel, two side panels and an upper grille, which is provided with cross bars. On the back of the front panel run horizontally near the upper and lower edge areas support strips, which may be glued there. They have cutouts for engaging behind of U-shaped fastening hooks. The latter are clamped at the top and bottom of the panel radiator.
Although it is also possible to disguise this type of front paneling from partitions or Attach advertising racks. They are, however, heavy and expensive. They have no stretchy, air-permeable, thin, substantially rectangular cut gauze, which is also washable. Furthermore, it is difficult for the layman to disassemble and retrofit.

From the EP 0 662 588 A1 is a panel for flat radiators known. In order to attach to it a front panel plate for covering the space facing side of the panel radiator, extending over the length and width of a horizontal side radiator side extending trim strips are provided. These are provided with openings. Two vertically extending over the height and width radiator narrow sides form with the horizontal radiator narrow sides of a U-shaped enclosure. The vertically aligned fairing strips are held by receiving rings attached to the upper neck and clamping rings which can be connected to these detachable rings on the lower neck.
A disguise after the EP 0 662 588 A1 is complicated, expensive to manufacture and expensive. It is not suitable for the front panel of a partition or an advertising medium. Installation by non-trained personnel is not possible. On a use of highly stretchable, air-permeable, thin, substantially rectangular cut gauze for the front cover, this European patent application gives no indication.

From the EP 0 589 012 B1 is a cladding for a heat source known. This panel is also intended as a front panel for radiators, containers containing hot liquids, and analogue elements. It consists of a thin solid wall. Their material is based on a polymeric substance, a polyester resin which resists permanent deformation or plastic flow at a temperature of from 100 to at least 130 ° Celsius. The polymer substance can be reinforced with various fibers. The polymer substance may be colored by a substance introduced into the mass. In addition, a thin solid wall freestanding or fixed to the radiator, these insulating, be placed or attached.
In contrast to the air permeability of the cladding incumbent on this invention, the cladding is according to the EP 0 589 012 B1 heat-insulating, thus impermeable to air. Although the cladding can be colored by the mass of the polymer substance, a subsequent color change is not possible. Especially for cladding larger surfaces of partitions, advertising media or Kompaktheizkörpem with lengths up to 2 meters requires the production of the cladding after the EP 0 589 012 B1 large processing machines for the polymer substance. This leads to an expensive disguise.

From the very old German utility model DE 1 795 753 is a plastic cladding known for heat exchangers. After that should be made of plastic to avoid rattling noises in metal panels.
It follows that the front surface of the panel is at least largely closed.

The object of the present invention has been made to provide a cladding for at least the front freestanding, angular, three-dimensional space elements for interiors that make simple and very inexpensive, stretchy, thin, lightweight and im to cut substantially rectangular and mounted by simple means so in front of the room element to be covered, that it runs at a certain distance in front of the surface to be covered. It should also be easily removable and attachable by laymen. It should be air-permeable, washable, temperature-resistant and printable up to 90 ° Celsius and have or have a decorative character.

For their attachment to the space element whose outer edge should not be damaged by fasteners or may, brackets are provided. The brackets should also be assembled or disassembled by completely untrained and reusable several times. They are designed to be simple in construction and inexpensive. On the one hand, they should enable a secure positional and force stability on the room element and be fixed and fastened to the corner ends on the room element. The brackets are intended to allow easy fitting and bracing of a stretchable, thin, lightweight and substantially rectangular front panel such that it extends close to the front surface of the room panel.

The solution of the stated problems arises from the claims 1 and 2. The following subclaims provide further advantageous embodiments of the cladding according to the invention.

Namely, a fastener is inserted into each of the four corners of the edge of the space element and has the fastener on a hook or a pin which protrudes laterally from the space element and is preferably provided with a groove, can be a very closely tailored gauze with their corner ends be fastened so that it braces in front of the front surface of the room element. At least one of its four end faces arched concavely inwards, creating a decorative effect.
Mounts for attaching the gauze in front of the room element are provided if the corners of the room element may not be damaged, for example in Kompaktheizkörpem. The brackets are formed so that they have two mutually perpendicular, horizontally and vertically extending legs, which are preferably formed as an angle section. With these legs, the four brackets are at the outer corners of the room element. The brackets may be held at the corners by magnets inserted into the legs when the space element or at least its frame is made of a material to which the magnets can adhere. It may be advantageous to secure the brackets with a circumferential strap, so that they are held stable and stable. It is also possible to attach the brackets with clamping claws, which come to rest on the back of the room element, by means of clamping elements, the brackets are clamped locally against the front and rear surfaces of the spatial element. To the holder is a laterally outwardly at an angle between 30 and 60 degrees extending further leg attached. This has at its free end a receptacle for attaching the gauze. The receptacle may be formed as a hole into which the corner end of the gauze is inserted and held there with a plug, or as a post, provided with a circumferential groove pin, as a hook or the like. At the shots, the very narrow gauze with its corner ends is inserted so that it braces in front of the front of the room element. She is so tense that it arched on at least one of its four front sides concave inward and thus looks decorative.

It is advantageous, both for optical and functional reasons in radiators, to arrange an air-permeable, up to 90 ° Celsius temperature-resistant gauze.

Another advantage is to incorporate into the gauze near their ends in at least one piping. This gives the gauze a better dimensional stability.

For room elements whose upper surface is also to be covered with gauze, it is advantageous to cut the gauze so that it extends according to the upper surface to be covered, over the upper edge of the room element and is folded over during assembly to the rear. The top panel may also be formed from a separate piece of gauze. In order to secure their upper ends reliably, corresponding fasteners are provided either at the rear corners of the space element or the clamps have similar to the brackets laterally outwardly extending legs, which are provided at their free ends with a receptacle in which the corners this disguise are held.

It is advantageous if at the transition point of the gauze from their front panel in the upper panel or in the separate piece of the upper panel also piping are incorporated.

Another advantage is to provide a gauze made of textile, washable and printable material. Since the gauze is easily removable and refastenable, it can easily be kept clean. Motifs of all kinds can be printed simply for decorative or advertising reasons and - if the printing inks can be washed out even after drying - simply replaced by others.
In addition, the gauze has the advantage that it can be printed or pinned to her advertising or photographs.
