Abstract
A device for bridging a difference in height between two floor surfaces (1, 3) is described, with said device comprising a profiled cover (4) that is provided with a covering flange (5) which covers the edge of each of the two floor surfaces (1,3), with at least one clamping extension (6) that protrudes downward from the covering flange (5), extends longitudinally with respect to the profiled cover (4), and clamps into and engages with a fixture (7), with said device also comprising a compensating strip (10) located between the covering flange (5) of the profiled cover (4) and the lower of the two floor surfaces (1, 3). In order to create advantageous construction conditions it is proposed that the fixture (7) forms a clamping seat (11) for the compensating strip (10).
Claims6
An assembly comprising:
- (a) a first floor surface having a first height;
- (b) a second floor surface having a second height;
- (c) a profiled cover comprising a covering flange and a clamping extension;
- (d) a fixture comprising a clamping seat;
- and
- (e) a compensating strip;
- wherein said first height is greater than said second height;
- wherein the covering flange extends above the first floor surface and above the second floor surface;
- wherein the clamping extension protrudes downwards from the covering flange and extends longitudinally with respect to the profiled cover;
- wherein the clamping extension engages with the fixture by clamping;
- wherein the compensating strip sits between the covering flange of the profiled cover and the second floor surface so that the covering flange is supported via the compensating strip on the second floor surface;
- and
- wherein the compensating strip is clamped into the clamping seat of the fixture.
