Description

The invention relates to a connecting band, which serves as a transition between a device and a vertical surface, wherein the device is designed for guiding and / or receiving water. The invention also provides a method for creating such a transition. In particular, it is a connection tape for facilities such as bathtubs, shower trays, drain casings, drainage devices and other water-bearing or water-receiving installations. It is also about other water installations and solutions for guiding and / or receiving water in and around buildings.

Joints in the edge region of bathtubs lose their elasticity over time. In addition, subsidence movements can occur. This can cause cracks. In addition, tile adhesives and mortars can absorb moisture, depending on the material properties. These events can permanently lead to water damage in plumbing installations.

There are numerous solutions in the form of sealing and finishing tapes that have been developed to provide a clean and tight transition, e.g. to create between a bathtub and an adjacent bathroom wall. Mostly a grout (e.g., silicone) is used in the transition area to provide a tight seal.

This grout can become unsightly over time (e.g., by mold or limescale) and cracks may form there due to settling motions. In such cases, remove the grout.

However, the grout is sometimes not professionally removed. Thus, the connection tape may be damaged if e.g. The grout is carelessly removed with a utility knife.

It therefore has the task of providing a connecting band to achieve a reliable and durable sealing effect, this connecting band should not be damaged if improper removal of grout as possible.

In addition, the corresponding solution should be less susceptible to misinsertion or manipulation than previous solutions.

According to the invention, a device is provided with a device which is designed for guiding and / or receiving water and which comprises a first vertical surface which extends along a horizontal longitudinal axis. The device is arranged along an on-site second vertical surface (e.g., a wall, a fixture, or a pedestal) such that the first vertical surface is substantially parallel to the second vertical surface. A connecting band is used which extends along the longitudinal axis and serves as a transition between the device and the second vertical surface. Said connecting band is connected in the region of a first lower longitudinal strip directly or indirectly (for example with a soundproof strip therebetween) to the first vertical surface. In addition, the connecting band in the region of a rear side is connected directly or indirectly (for example by embedding or by means of an adhesive connection) to the on-site second vertical surface.

The device is characterized in that it has a horizontally extending longitudinal gap which extends along the longitudinal axis and which is defined at least partially (laterally) between the first vertical surface and the second vertical surface or bounded by these two vertical surfaces. The device comprises a cut protection strip extending along the longitudinal axis, the cut protection strip being substantially parallel to the second vertical surface and being in the longitudinal gap with the region of a second lower longitudinal strip.

According to the invention, there is also provided a method of creating a transition between a device adapted for guiding and / or receiving water and a building-side vertical surface (eg a wall, a built-in object or a pedestal) comprising the following Steps includes: directly or indirectly attaching a terminal strip extending along a longitudinal axis to a first vertical surface of the device, wherein in a top region between the first vertical surface and a front side of the terminal strip there is a longitudinal gap extending along the longitudinal axis, Arranging the device together with the connecting band such that the first vertical surface extends parallel to the building-side vertical surface and that the connecting band can be connected directly or indirectly with a rear side to the building-side vertical surface, Direct or indirect connection of the rear side of the connecting band with the building-side vertical surface, Inserting a cut protection strip in the longitudinal gap so that it extends along the longitudinal axis and extends substantially parallel to the building-side vertical surface.

The connection band forms together with the cut protection strip a functional unit, with the particularly good and lasting results can be achieved. The cut protection strip sits in front of the connection strip on the room side and protects it from damage, e.g. when removing grout using a carpet knife.

The connecting band is preferably thin in all embodiments and flexible in the surface and it is arranged to the other components, that it extends substantially plane-parallel to the wall portion.

In order to meet the required Schallentkopplungseigenschaften, the connection band is equipped with a sound insulation strip in a part of the embodiments. Preferably, a connecting band with a "series connection" of the individual acoustic resistors is used in order to form any unwanted sound bridges in the region of the connecting band. As a series connection, a stacked order in a direction perpendicular to the wall (called the building-side vertical surface) is considered here, which comprises at least the following layers from the device to the wall: wall-parallel surface (called vertical surface) of the device, Adhesive joint parallel to the vertical surface of the device, Sound insulation strip (optional) parallel to the vertical surface of the device, possibly a further adhesive bond for connecting the optional soundproofing strip to the connection strip if the soundproofing strip is not an integral part of the connection strip, Connecting band substantially plane-parallel to the wall section, Wall section.

Preferably, the optional acoustic strip has a thickness that is at least 2 mm.

The optional sound insulation strip may be located directly on the lower edge of the connecting band, or it may be offset at a distance from the lower edge to (vertically in space) above.

In order to prevent the installation in the region of the horizontal joint creates a sound bridge, an optional spacer tape can be used according to the invention, which prevents mortar and adhesive residue.

Depending on the embodiment, the soundproofing strip is a component of the connecting strip, i. the sound insulation strip is integrated into the connection strip or the sound insulation strip is connected to the connection strip via an adhesive, adhesive or welding connection. The use of an adhesive, adhesive or welding connection is preferred since the soundproofing strip thus enables a particularly good sound decoupling.

In order to be able to keep the connecting strip plane-parallel even during embedding in a composite structure or when applying tile adhesive and a wall covering (for example in the form of tiles), the upper, strip-shaped region of the connecting strip is preferably embedded on both sides in all embodiments. The double-sided embedding may e.g. by covering or integrating the terminal tape with liquid sealant, a tile adhesive or other material (e.g., mortar or epoxy) on both sides so as to fully bond the upper, strip-shaped area to the wall.

However, in all embodiments, the connection band can also be connected to the wall differently (for example, by an adhesive surface or by a bonding or adhesive agent to be applied separately).

The connecting band of the invention preferably comprises or consists in all embodiments of a base material which is flexible in the plane.

The connecting band of the invention can be made stretchable in all embodiments in the transverse direction. Preferably, the base material of the terminal tape in the transverse direction (i.e., in the mounted state vertically in the space parallel to the wall portion) is significantly stretchable with a transverse extensibility of 50% or more. The longitudinal extensibility may be close to zero, as needed, or in the range between zero and e.g. 5% lie.

The connection band of the invention can have a clearly defined expansion zone in the mounted state in all embodiments. This clearly defined expansion zone can only arise in the course of assembly (for example, because areas are not extensively covered with mortar), or the expansion zone can already be predetermined at the factory on the connection strip.

Preferably, in all connection bands with transverse ductility this Querdehnbarkeit is in a strip-shaped zone, which is located in the assembled state behind the cut protection strip. If the cut protection strip is not connected to its backside to the termination strap (e.g., connected by an adhesive bond), then the attachment strap may stretch freely to yield settling motions.

The optional spacer strip (also called horizontal spacer strip), when used, prevent fouling of the horizontal gap and thereby also the accidental formation of sound bridges. In addition, it provides a well-defined horizontal gap between the wall covering and e.g. The upper edge of a device ready to create a (silicone) joint with optimal dimensions and even height can. If, for example, introduces a round cord in the horizontal gap, for example, in a known manner, then the subsequently introduced grout can enter into a well-defined 2-edge connection. But it can also remain a length of the horizontal spacer strip in the joint to serve as a replacement for the round cord.

Preferably, the optional horizontal spacer strip in all embodiments has a thickness between 3 and 8 mm.

Preferably, the optional horizontal spacer strip in all embodiments has a perforation, which makes it possible to separate a room-side part of the horizontal spacer strip after assembly.

Preferably, in all embodiments, the optional horizontal spacer tape comprises a nonwoven or protective film which serves to protect the device during the construction phase. The fleece or the protective film can be made separable.

Preferably, however, in all embodiments, a round or flat cord in the area in front of the cut protection strip is used. The flat cord may be attached or secured to the cut protection strip with a flat side (e.g., by an adhesive bond). The round or flat cord can also be designed independently of the cut protection strip and mounted on site along the cut protection strip. The cut protection strip may also comprise means for clamping a round or flat cord.

In wet areas, such as e.g. In the bathroom, a composite construction typically includes a sealing layer (applied, for example, in the form of a liquid seal) disposed under the wall covering. But it can also be a tile adhesive or mortar are used, which is waterproof in itself. Such a sealing layer plays a role above all when ceramic tiles are used. Although these tiles are waterproof, grout can penetrate underground and cause damage.

Further preferred embodiments can be found in the dependent claims.

In the following location and direction are used to describe the invention better. These details refer to the respective installation situation and should therefore not be interpreted as a restriction. In order to be able to better narrow down the location and direction information, a reference to the wall 4 (also called a vertical surface) is partially made, in which e.g. from a wall-near element, a wall facing, wall facing away from the surface or a wall-parallel assembly is the speech.

The invention will be described below with reference to some embodiments.

Fig. 1A shows a schematic sectional view of a first device 100 of the invention in an exploded view so as to better illustrate and describe the individual elements. Fig. 1B shows a schematic sectional view of the first device 100 in the mounted state and Fig. 1C shows a highly schematic sectional view of the longitudinal gap 20 of Fig. 1B in an enlarged view.

The apparatus 100 comprises in all embodiments a device 1 (eg a bathtub, a shower tray, a shower tray, a sink, a shower gutter, another sanitary gutter, a drain housing, or gutter or other means for guiding and / or receiving Water), which comprises a first vertical surface 3.1 (eg on a tub frame). This first vertical surface 3.1 extends along a horizontal longitudinal axis L. In the illustrations of FIGS. 1A-2D, this horizontal longitudinal axis L is perpendicular to the plane of the drawing. The device 1 is thus arranged along an on-site second vertical surface 4 (e.g., a wall, a fixture, or a pedestal) such that the first vertical surface 3.1 is substantially parallel to the second vertical surface 4. The second vertical surface 4 can also be referred to as on-site vertical surface 4. It is a connection tape 10 is used, which extends along the longitudinal axis L and which serves as a transition between the device 1 and the second vertical surface 4.

Depending on the requirements and installation situation, different connection tapes 10 can be used. In Figs. 1A and 1B, a simple connection tape 10 is shown. FIGS. 2A and 2B show a connecting band 10 with a soundproof strip 13 on the sanitary side.

The connecting band 10 is connected in the region of a first lower longitudinal strip 10.1 directly or indirectly to the first vertical surface 3.1 (for example by gluing). A direct connection is shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B, which comprises only a sanitary-side adhesive strip or an adhesive 11.2 (referred to here as the first adhesive connection). FIGS. 2A and 2B show an indirect connection which comprises an adhesive strip or an adhesive 11.1 (referred to here as the first adhesive connection), a soundproofing strip 13 and a further adhesive strip or adhesive 11.2 (referred to here as a second adhesive bond).

The device 100 is designed / mounted / arranged in all embodiments so that it has a horizontally extending longitudinal gap 20 which extends along the longitudinal axis L.

In the embodiment according to FIGS. 1A and 1B, the longitudinal gap 20 is bounded laterally at least partially by the first vertical surface 3.1 and the front side of the connecting strip 10. In Fig. 1B, the position of the longitudinal gap 20 is hinted to recognize. In order to better show the cross-sectional area of the longitudinal gap 20, FIG. 1C shows an enlarged view of the longitudinal gap 20 in schematic form. The cross-sectional area of the longitudinal gap 20 is patterned in Fig. 1C to better emphasize this area.

The device 100 further comprises in all embodiments a cut protection strip 21 which extends along the longitudinal axis L. The cut protection strip 21 runs essentially parallel to the second vertical surface 4 and it sits / engages with the region of a second lower longitudinal strip 21.1 in the longitudinal gap 20.

The connecting band 10 and the cut protection strip 21 are matched in all embodiments, as far as dimension, choice of material and the inside width of the longitudinal gap 20 is concerned. The connection tape 10 and the cut protection strip 21 form a functional unit whose primary objective is the protection of the connection tape 10.

The connection tape 10 may comprise a sanitary soundproof strip 13 in all embodiments, as shown by way of example in FIGS. 2A and 2B. The soundproofing strip 13 is arranged in the region of the first lower longitudinal strip 10.1 between the connecting strip 10 and the second vertical surface 4 and thus connects the first lower longitudinal strip 10.1 indirectly with the first vertical surface 3.1, as already mentioned. The description of FIGS. 1A to 1C can be transferred to FIGS. 2A to 2C.

Preferably, the sound insulation strip 13 extends completely or almost up to the upper edge of the tub 1 3.2, as shown by way of example in Fig. 13B and 13D.

It should be noted in connection with FIG. 2B that the longitudinal gap 20 can be defined in the region above the soundproofing strip 13. In this case, a longitudinal gap 20 results, the enlarged view of which is shown schematically in FIG. 2C. The cross-sectional area of the longitudinal gap 20 is patterned in Fig. 2C to better emphasize this area.

However, the longitudinal gap 20 can also be defined in one embodiment with sound insulation strip 13 substantially by a longitudinal gap 20, which results directly between the front of the connection tape 10 and the back of the soundproofing strip 13. A corresponding embodiment is shown in Fig. 2D. The description of FIG. 2B can also be transferred to FIG. 2D. In FIG. 2D, it can be seen that the cut protection strip 21 is seated in the longitudinal gap 20 between the connection strip 10 and the sound insulation strip 13.

FIG. 3 shows a longitudinal section of a further connecting strip 10. The connection tape 10 of FIG. 3 is similar in construction to the connection tape 10 of FIGS. 2A, 2B and 2D. Further aspects of the invention will be described with reference to FIG. 3, which can also be applied to the other embodiments.

The connecting band 10 biases in the mounted state on a plane E, which is substantially parallel to the wall 4, respectively to the second vertical surface 4. The plane E is defined by a vertical axis V and by the longitudinal axis L.

The terminal tape 10 may in all embodiments comprise a strip-shaped flexible material as shown in the figures, or it may be composed of a plurality of sub-elements or segments (e.g., multiple strips).

The connecting band 10 of FIG. 3 is connected indirectly to the device 1 along the lower longitudinal strip 10. 1. The lower longitudinal strip 10.1 does not necessarily have to run along the lower longitudinal edge 14.3 of the connecting strip 10, but the lower longitudinal strip 10.1 may also sit a little way above (viewed in the direction V) of the lower longitudinal edge 14.3, as shown in FIG.

The sound insulation strip 13 is arranged according to FIG. 3 in the region of the first lower longitudinal strip 10.1 between the connection strip 10 and the first vertical surface 3.1 (not shown) and thus connects the first lower longitudinal strip 10.1 indirectly with the first vertical surface 3.1, as already mentioned ,

The longitudinal gap 20 may in all embodiments in a cross section transverse to the longitudinal axis L a lower gap region 20.1 and an upper gap region 20.2, as shown in FIGS. 1C and 2C, include.

The lower gap region 20.1 preferably has a rectangular cross-section in all embodiments, and the upper gap region 20.2 preferably has a cross-section in all embodiments, which widens upwards starting from the cross-section of the lower gap region 20.1.

The lower gap region 20.1 is typically narrower in all embodiments (less far, viewed perpendicular to the plane E) than the upper gap region 20.2. The minimum width W is chosen in all embodiments so that it provides the cut protection strip 20 hold when it is inserted with its lower longitudinal strip 21.1 in the longitudinal gap 20 or inserted.

The longitudinal gap 20 has perpendicular to the second vertical surface 4 a clear minimum width W, which is between 0.1 mm and 4 mm.

However, the longitudinal gap 20 may also be such as e.g. indicated in Fig. 2D, only a narrow lower gap region 20.1, which is substantially rectangular in cross-section. Embodiments with a narrow lower gap region 20.1 are preferred.

In Fig. 3, an indirect connection is shown, which comprises an adhesive strip or an adhesive 11.1 (here called the first adhesive bond) a soundproofing strip 13 and another adhesive strip or adhesive 11.2 (here called second adhesive bond). The second adhesive bond 11.2 can optionally be protected by a protective film 40, which can be removed during assembly. In Fig. 3 sits only a short section of this protective film 40 on the second adhesive joint 11.2.

As a cut protection strip 21, a simple flat strip is used in Fig. 3, which sits in a narrow lower gap area (as for example in Fig. 2D).

In the region of an upper longitudinal strip of the connecting strip 10, a connection 14.1 may be provided in order to be able to glue the connecting strip 10 with its vertical side 4 to the wall-side rear side. However, the connection to the vertical surface 4 may be implemented in all embodiments of the invention (e.g., by providing a penetrable and / or double-sided embeddable strip on the termination tape 10). The connection 14.1 can also extend over the entire rear side in all embodiments.

The cut protection strip 21 may be designed in all embodiments so that it comprises in the region of the second lower longitudinal strip 21.1 a bent longitudinal edge 21.2, as shown by way of example in FIGS. 4C, 4D, 4F and 4H. Depending on the configuration of the bent longitudinal edge 21.2, this can exert a spring force. In this case, the spring force contributes to the cut protection strip 21 to give a more stable hold in the longitudinal gap 20. In particular, the embodiment of Fig. 4F is designed so that the bent longitudinal edge 21.2 applies a spring force. The cut protection strip 21 can be provided in all embodiments but also with a kind of nose 29, as in Fig. 4G. Such a nose 29 can give the cut protection strip 21 in the longitudinal gap 20 hold. The cut protection strip 21 may in all embodiments comprise a clamp support 30 for a round or flat cord 23, as shown in FIGS. 41, 41 and 4K by way of example. This clamp holder 30 may be slightly elastic or resilient designed so that the flat or round cord 23 is held after insertion / pressing in the clamp 30. In all embodiments, the clamping holder 30 can also be designed as a simple holder so that it can fix the position of a round cord 23, as shown by way of example in FIG. 4N.

The clamping bracket 30 may also be designed in all embodiments so that it can accommodate a horizontal spacer strip 12, as shown in Fig. 4K by way of example.

The horizontal spacer tape 12 may be supplied separately from the cut protection strip 21 or the cut protection strip 21 in all embodiments (see FIGS. 4L and 4M).

The horizontal spacer strip 12 may be hingedly connected to the cut protection strip 21 in all embodiments as shown in Figs. 4L and 4M. FIG. 4L shows a situation with a horizontal spacer strip 12 lying parallel to the cut protection strip 21. From this position, the horizontal spacer strip 12 can be folded down by about 90 degrees to take the position shown in Fig. 4M. The hinged connection between the cut protection strip 21 and the horizontal spacer tape 12 may e.g. be implemented in all embodiments with an adhesive strip 36, as shown in Figs. 4L and 4M.

The embodiment of the horizontal spacer strip 12 as shown in Figures 4L and 4M may also be used in conjunction with all other cut protection strips 21 (such as shown in Figures 4A through 4H).

The horizontal spacer strip 12 may in all embodiments have a thickness that corresponds to the vertical distance VA (see FIG. 12A).

The horizontal spacer tape 12 may in all embodiments comprise a (temporary) adhesive 11.3, as shown in Fig. 12A.

Preferably, the bent-over longitudinal edge 21.2 is resiliently designed in all embodiments so as to effect a clamping action of the cut-protection strip 21 in the longitudinal gap 20.

The cut protection strip 21 in all embodiments may be designed to include a bent upper longitudinal edge 21.3, as shown by way of example in FIGS. 4B and 4C.

The cut protection strip 21 may preferably be designed in all embodiments so that it comprises in the region of the second lower longitudinal strip 21.1 a foot profile 22, which is preferably adapted to the cross-sectional shape of the longitudinal gap 20. The foot profile 22 is shown in black in Fig. 4E to make it more visible. The cross-section of the foot profile 22, as shown in Fig. 4E, have a shape that is adapted to the shape of the vertical surface 3.1.

FIG. 5 shows a longitudinal section of a further cut protection strip 21 which is provided with a foot profile 22 in the region of its lower longitudinal strip 21.1 (similar to FIG. 4E). For example, a round or flat cord 23 may rest on top of a horizontal surface or a step 22.1 of the foot profile 22 (see, e.g., Figure 7).

The foot profile 22, if present, may be an integral part of the cut protection strip 21, or it may be connected to the cut protection strip 21.

Depending on the installation situation, the connection tape 10 can be between 50 cm and several meters long. The cut protection strip 21 is correspondingly long. The connection strip 10 is typically supplied in rolled-up form.

In order to be able to deliver the cut protection strip 21 in rolled-up form and / or to be able to guide the cut protection strip 21 around curves or curves of the device 1, this preferably comprises in all embodiments: Punches 24, as shown by way of example in FIG. 8A, and / or Holes 25, as shown by way of example in Fig. 8E, and / or Slits 26, as shown by way of example in Fig. 8B, and / or Edge slits 27, as shown by way of example in FIGS. 8C and 8D, and / or Notches not shown here.

If the cut protection strip 21 is provided with a foot profile 22, so this foot profile 22 may be provided with means (eg notches, slots) to deliver the cut protection strip 21 together with foot profile 22 in rolled form or to this around curves or Curves of the device 1 to be able to lead.

The cut protection strip 21 may in all embodiments be made of a thin metal strip (e.g., chrome nickel steel) or a plastic strip (e.g., glass fiber and / or fibrous tissue and / or microgranules and / or metal balls as filler). However, the following carrier materials can also be used: chromium alloys, polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), plastic combinations, composite combinations of plastics, or hard rubber. Also suitable are coated support materials. As a coating of a carrier material, inter alia, a ceramic and / or oxide coating is suitable. It is also possible to use thin multilayer fabrics as carrier material for cut protection strips 21. Such a multi-layer fabric may comprise, for example, an aramid layer, or aramid fibers or aramid fabrics embedded in a plastic (e.g., a resin).

The cut protection strip 21 preferably has a thickness between 0.2 mm and 2 mm in all embodiments.

The cut protection strip 21 may consist entirely of the lattice structure 32 or the network structure 33 in all embodiments, or it may partially consist of the lattice structure 32 or the network structure 33.

If a fabric structure 34 is used, as shown by way of example in FIG. 10, it preferably sits on or on a thin metal strip or plastic strip 30. The fabric structure 34 serves to be able to connect the cut protection strip 21 to the connection strip 10 (eg by means of tile adhesive or mortar penetrating the fabric structure 34 and joining to the front of the connection tape 10).

The device 100 preferably comprises in all embodiments a round or flat cord 23 which extends in the area in front of the cut protection strip 21 along the same. In FIGS. 6 and 7, embodiments of the cut protection strip 21 are shown, which are each provided with a flat cord 23.

In all embodiments, the flat cord 23 preferably has a cross section (perpendicular to the longitudinal axis L) which has at least one flattened rear side 23.1. FIGS. 11A to 11G show some exemplary cross-sectional shapes of possible flat cords 23 of the invention. The flattened rear side 23.1 points in each case to the left in these figures.

If the device 100 comprises a flat cord 23, then this flat cord 23 is connected with its flattened rear side 23.1 with the cut protection strip 21 (eg glued, as indicated in Fig. 6 by means of an adhesive connection 23.2), or the flattened back 23.1 runs without Direct connection parallel to the sanitary side front of the cut protection strip 21, as shown in Fig. 7.

The round or flat cord 23 should be positioned relative to the connecting band 10 and / or the cut protection strip 21 in all embodiments so that the flat cord 23 fulfills its actual function when introducing silicone compound.

A preferred position of the round or flat cord 23 viewed in the vertical direction V is located immediately above the lower longitudinal strip 21.1, as can be seen for example in Figs. 6 and 7. In the embodiment according to FIG. 7, the foot profile 22 can be used to define the position of the flat cord 23 in the vertical direction V.

In the embodiment shown, an optional horizontal spacer strip 12 is used, which sits temporarily on the upper horizontal surface 3.2 of the device 1. The horizontal spacer strip 12 is located in front of the flat cord 23 on the room side. The thickness of the horizontal spacer strip 12 is selected such that an optimum vertical spacing VA is predetermined, as shown in FIG. 12A, top right, in a separate image insert. The vertical distance VA is defined here as the distance between the upper horizontal surface 3.2 of the sanitary device 1 and the lower edge 5.1 of a tile 5.

In Fig. 12A, it can further be seen that the wall 4 is coated with a liquid seal 60 and that a tile 5 has been applied by means of mortar 6.

The cut protection strip 21 also has here a dimension (viewed in the vertical direction V), which is selected so that the cut protection strip 21 extends at least a little way behind the tile 5 or behind another wall covering.

After the step shown in Fig. 12A, the horizontal spacer tape 12 may be removed (in whole or in part). Preferably, that horizontal spacer strip 12 comprises a temporary adhesive 11.3, so that the horizontal spacer strip 12 can be solved without residue from the horizontal surface 3.2. After removal of the horizontal spacer strip 12, a clean horizontal gap with a vertical distance VA is defined between the tile 5 and the horizontal surface 3.2. Now silicone compound can be introduced in the usual way, so as to create a silicone joint 15, which adheres only to two flanks. The situation after the introduction of the silicone joint 15 is shown in FIG. 12B.

FIGS. 13A to 13D each show a schematic sectional view of a further device 100 of the invention in an enlarged representation. In each case, only the essential elements in the immediate vicinity of the longitudinal gap 20 are shown. In all three cases, connection strips 10 with sanitary protective strips 13 are shown. The statements of FIGS. 13A to 13D can also be transmitted to connection tapes 10 without soundproofing strips 13.

In FIG. 13A, the longitudinal gap 20 is bounded at the bottom by the soundproofing strip 13 or by the adhesive joints 11.1, 11.2 and the soundproofing strip 13. Left of the longitudinal gap 20 is the front of the connecting band 10 and right of the longitudinal gap 20 is the vertical surface 3.1. The longitudinal gap 20 of FIG. 13A has a clear minimum width W, which corresponds approximately to the thickness of the soundproofing strip 13. Since the cut protection strip 21 is clearly thinner in itself, preferably cut protection strips 21 with a foot profile 22 or with a bent lower longitudinal edge 21.2 are used in such longitudinal gaps 20.

In Fig. 13B, the longitudinal gap 20 is bounded at the bottom by the adhesive connection 11.1. To the left of the longitudinal gap 20 is the front side of the connection strip 10 and to the right of the longitudinal gap 20 is the rear side of the noise protection strip 13. The longitudinal gap 20 is defined by the fact that the adhesive connection 11.1 does not extend along the entire rear side of the sound insulation strip 13. Thus, a very narrow (narrow) longitudinal gap 20 is formed (analogous to FIG. 2D). Since the longitudinal gap 20 is very narrow, in such embodiments preferably cut protection strips 21 are used, which are made flat, as shown in Fig. 13B.

In Fig. 13C, the longitudinal gap 20 is bounded at the bottom by the adhesive connection 11.1 and a pocket of the soundproofing strip 13. To the left of the longitudinal gap 20 is the front of the connecting band 10 and the right side of the longitudinal gap 20 is the back of the pocket of the soundproofing strip 13. The clear width of the longitudinal gap 20 can be defined by the dimensions of the pocket of the soundproofing strip 13. Here cut protection strips 21 are preferably used in all embodiments, which have a foot profile 22 or are designed with bent lower longitudinal edge 21.2, as shown in Fig. 13C. The pocket of the soundproofing strip 13 may also be formed by a longitudinal section in the material of the soundproofing strip 13.

In Fig. 13D, the longitudinal gap 20 is bounded at the bottom by the adhesive connection 11.1. To the left of the longitudinal gap 20 is the front of the connection tape 10 and the right side of the longitudinal gap 20 is the back of the soundproofing strip 13. Here is a cut protection strip 21 is used, as shown for example in Fig. 4F.
