Abstract
A section rod is a component of a protective fence and serves for fastening a protective screen. A U-shaped receptacle, where the protective screen can be secured, is provided in the section rod. For this purpose, the receptacle has an internal width that is at least in part somewhat less than a thickness of the protective screen. An increased securing action can be achieved through additional sawtooth-shaped elevations. The section rod allows the protective screen to be mounted in a simple and reliable manner without additional fastening or securing parts.
Claims19
A section rod arrangement for use with a partition arrangement, the section rod arrangement comprising:
- a section rod for securing at least one flat element and having at least one first longitudinal groove for receiving the at least one flat element, the at least one first longitudinal groove being provided on a longitudinal side of the section rod and including a U-shaped receptacle, the U-shaped receptacle having a width which is smaller, at least in a particular portion of the U-shaped receptacle, than a thickness of the at least one flat element on an edge area of the U-shaped receptacle facing the section rod, the width being smaller than the thickness to secure the at least one flat element in the section rod by clamping the at least one flat element into the U-shaped receptacle, the U-shaped receptacle including two boundary walls, at least one of the two boundary walls having at least partial elevations, the at least partial elevations functioning as barbs to the flat element in response to the flat element being pulled out of the U-shaped receptacle, and only one of the two boundary walls being movable with respect to another one of the two boundary walls for receiving the at least one flat element;
- wherein the another one of the two boundary walls is not movable as is the one of the two boundary walls that is movable.
A section rod arrangement for use with a partition arrangement, the section rod arrangement comprising:
- a section rod for securing at least one flat element and having at least one first longitudinal groove for receiving the at least one flat element, the at least one first longitudinal groove being provided on a longitudinal side of the section rod and including a U-shaped receptacle, the U-shaped receptacle having a width which is smaller, at least in a particular portion of the U-shaped receptacle, than a thickness of the at least one flat element on an edge area of the U-shaped receptacle facing the section rod, the width being smaller than the thickness to secure the at least one flat element in the section rod by clamping the at least one flat element into the U-shaped receptacle, the U-shaped receptacle including two boundary walls, at least one of the two boundary walls having at least partial elevations, the at least partial elevations functioning as barbs to the flat element in response to the flat element being pulled out of the U-shaped receptacle, and one of the two boundary walls being movable with respect to another one of the two boundary walls for receiving the at least one flat element,
- wherein the section rod has at least one second longitudinal groove which is provided on at least one of side faces of the section rod, and the at least one second longitudinal groove has a smaller depth than a depth of the U-shaped receptacle.
A section rod arrangement for use with a partition arrangement, the section rod arrangement comprising:
- a section rod for securing at least one flat element and having at least one first longitudinal groove for receiving the at least one flat element the at least one first longitudinal groove being provided on a longitudinal side of the section rod and including a U-shaped receptacle, the U-shaped receptacle having a width which is smaller, at least in a particular portion of the U-shaped receptacle, than a thickness of the at least one flat element on an edge area of the U-shaped receptacle facing the section rod, the width being smaller than the thickness to secure the at least one flat element in the section rod by clamping the at least one flat element into the U-shaped receptacle, the U-shaped receptacle including two boundary walls, at least one of the two boundary walls having at least partial elevations, the at least partial elevations functioning as barbs to the flat element in response to the flat element being pulled out of the U-shaped receptacle, and one of the two boundary walls being movable with respect to another one of the two boundary walls for receiving the at least one flat element;
- wherein:
- the U-shaped receptacle includes a bottom section coupling the two boundary walls;
- and
- the at least partial elevations include sawtooth-shaped elevations beginning substantially adjacent to an opening of the U-shaped receptacle on each of the two boundary walls and extending substantially adjacent to a point defined by a transition area between the bottom section and the one of the two boundary walls that is movable.
