Abstract
A ceiling track system including a guiding rail, in which at least one wall element is received and an encasing element that is affixed to the guiding rail. A long leg extends in a vertical joining direction and has a latching geometry, into which a latching hook can be latched such that the encasing element is affixed to the guiding rail in a self-retaining manner. The long leg has a web with a projection. The guiding rail has a groove into which the projection engages for the purpose of self-retaining the encasing element. Adjacent to the groove the guiding rail has a screw reception into which a screw element is screwable by which a clamping action is achieved. The screw reception is at an angle with regard to the vertical joining direction.
Claims13
A ceiling track system comprising:
- a guiding rail having a latching geometry;
- at least one wall element is received in the guiding rail via a carriage unit;
- at least one encasing element, configured as a profile in an L-shape having one long and one short leg, is affixed to the guiding rail, wherein the long leg extends in a vertical joining direction;
- a latching hook disposed at the long leg configured to be latched to the latching geometry to affix the encasing element to the guiding rail from a unidirectional joining direction in a self-retaining manner;
- a geometric transition, between the long leg of the encasing element and the latching hook, has a cross-sectional constriction;
- a web with a projection arranged at the long leg adjacent to the area of the cross-sectional constriction;
- a groove in the guiding rail, into which the projection engages for the self-retaining purpose of the encasing element at the guiding rail;
- a screw reception in the guiding rail adjacent to the groove;
- and
- a screw element is screwable into the screw reception, wherein a clamping action of the web at the guiding rail is achieved;
- wherein the screw reception is configured at an angle with regard to the vertical joining direction, to screw in the screw element from the direction of a plane of symmetry of the guiding rail.
