Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Terrassensystem und ein Befestigungselement zum Befestigen eines ersten und zweiten Sichtprofils, insbesondere Terrassenprofils, an einer Unterkonstruktion, wobei das Befestigungselement zwei einander gegenüberliegende Breitseiten, Längsseiten und Stirnseiten aufweist, mit einer Grundplatte, die zum Eingreifen in einander gegenüberliegende Nuten einander zugewandter Profillängsseiten des ersten und zweiten Sichtprofils ausgebildet ist, mit einem ersten und einem zweiten Federelement, die der Grundplatte an der ersten Breitseite des Befestigungselements vorstehen und zum federnden Anliegen an der Nut des zweiten Sichtprofils ausgebildet sind, wobei sich das erste und zweite Federelement ausgehend von der Grundplatte zu ihrem jeweiligen freien Ende parallel zueinander verlaufend in Richtung der zweiten Längsseite erstrecken, mit einem von der Grundplatte ausgehenden und dieser vorstehenden Abstandshalter zum Beabstanden des ersten und zweiten Sichtprofils voneinander und mit einer ersten Montageöffnung für ein Befestigungsmittel.The invention relates to a terrace system and a fastening element for fastening a first and second visible profile, in particular a terrace profile, to a substructure, the fastening element having two opposite broad sides, longitudinal sides and front sides, with a base plate which is designed to engage in opposite grooves on mutually facing profile longitudinal sides of the first and second visible profile, with a first and a second spring element, which protrude from the base plate on the first broad side of the fastening element and are designed to bear resiliently against the groove of the second visible profile, with the first and second spring element starting from the base plate to their respective free end extending parallel to one another in the direction of the second longitudinal side, with a spacer extending from and protruding from the base plate for spacing the first and second visible profiles from one another nander and with a first mounting opening for a fastener.

Um Sicht- bzw. Terrassenprofile voneinander zu beabstanden und zu befestigen, ist aus der EP3453814A1 ein Befestigungselement bekannt, das einerseits mit zwei Abstandshaltern den Mindestabstand zwischen zwei Stirnseiten aneinander angrenzender Sichtprofile festlegt und andererseits mithilfe seiner Grundplatte die Sichtprofile an einer Unterkonstruktion festhält, indem diese Grundplatte in die Nuten an den Profillängsseiten der beiden Sichtprofile eingreift. Das Befestigungselement selbst wird über eine selbstschneidende Schraube als Befestigungsmittel an der Unterkonstruktion befestigt, wobei hierfür die Schraube eine mittige Montageöffnung an der Grundplatte durchgreift.
Beim Anziehen des Befestigungselements kann es bei unzulässig hohen Anzugsmomenten unter Umständen zu einem Verdrehen des Befestigungselements kommen, was die Lage der Sichtprofile zueinander unerwünscht verändern kann - insbesondere verstärkt durch die Abstandshalter an den beiden Längsseiten des Befestigungselements. Eine derartige Lageveränderung der Sichtprofile können auch die beiden Federelemente des Befestigungselements nicht verhindern, welche der Grundplatte an der ersten Breitseite des Befestigungselements vorstehen und zum federnden Anliegen an einer Nut eines Sichtprofils ausgebildet sind.
Zudem kann, je nach vorliegenden Bedingungen und Dimensionen der zu montierenden Teile, bei eingesetztem Befestigungselement, dessen Montageöffnung vergleichsweise tief zwischen den beiden Sichtprofilen liegen, was die Montage des Befestigungselements erschweren und die Gefahr, nicht korrekte Anzugskräfte auf das Befestigungsmittel vorzusehen, erhöhen kann.To view or terrace profiles from each other to space and attach, is from the EP3453814A1 a fastening element is known which, on the one hand, uses two spacers to define the minimum distance between two end faces of adjoining visible profiles and, on the other hand, uses its base plate to hold the visible profiles to a substructure by engaging the grooves on the longitudinal sides of the profile of the two visible profiles. The fastening element itself is fastened to the substructure using a self-tapping screw as a fastening means, with the screw passing through a central assembly opening on the base plate for this purpose.
When tightening the fastener, excessive tightening torques may result in the fastener twisting, which can undesirably change the position of the visible profiles relative to one another - particularly reinforced by the spacers on the two long sides of the fastener. The two spring elements of the fastening element, which protrude from the base plate on the first broad side of the fastening element and are designed to bear resiliently against a groove of a visible profile, cannot prevent such a change in position of the visible profile.
In addition, depending on the prevailing conditions and dimensions of the parts to be assembled, when the fastener is inserted, its assembly opening can be relatively deep between the two visible profiles, which can make assembly of the fastener more difficult and increase the risk of incorrect tightening forces being applied to the fastener.

Die Erfindung hat sich daher die Aufgabe gestellt, ein Befestigungselement der eingangs geschilderten Art in der Konstruktion zu verändern, um die Montage von Sichtprofilen zu erleichtern.The invention has therefore set itself the task of changing the construction of a fastening element of the type described at the outset in order to facilitate the assembly of visible profiles.

Die Erfindung löst die gestellte Aufgabe durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1.The invention solves the problem set by the features of claim 1.

Indem der Abstandshalter zwischen dem ersten und zweiten Federelement angeordnet ist und die erste Montageöffnung aufweist, kann die Gefahr eines unerwünschten Verdrehens des Befestigungselements bei dessen Anziehen an eine Unterkonstruktion deutlich verringert werden. Dies nicht nur deshalb, weil der im Stand der Technik gegebene Abstand zwischen Montageöffnung und Abstandshalter beseitigt wird - sondern auch, weil ein Befestigungsmittel durch die Anordnung des Abstandshalters zwischen erstem und zweitem Federelement standfest zwischen erstem und zweitem Sichtprofil positionierbar ist. Auch ist die Montageöffnung leichter erreichbar, da diese weiter in den offenen Spalt zwischen den beiden Sichtprofilen erstreckt und besser erkennbar sowie einsehbar ist. Des Weiteren kann der Abstandhalter als Führung für ein Befestigungselement dienen, um eine sichere Montage zu erleichtern.
Das erfindungsgemäße Befestigungsmittel ist demnach geeignet, eine besonders einfache, standfeste und lagestabile Montage sicherzustellen, wobei zu hohe Anzugsmomente verhindert und in ihren unerwünschten Auswirkungen reduziert werden.Because the spacer is arranged between the first and second spring element and has the first assembly opening, the risk of an undesired twisting of the fastening element when it is tightened onto a substructure can be significantly reduced. This is not only because the distance between the mounting opening and the spacer, which is the case in the prior art, is eliminated - but also because a fastening means can be positioned between the first and second visible profile by arranging the spacer between the first and second spring elements. The assembly opening is also easier to reach, since it extends further into the open gap between the two viewing profiles and is easier to recognize and look into. Furthermore, the spacer can serve as a guide for a fastening element in order to facilitate secure assembly.
The fastening means according to the invention is therefore suitable for ensuring particularly simple, stable and positionally stable assembly, with excessive tightening torques being prevented and their undesirable effects reduced.

Die Montage wird weiter erleichtert, indem das erste und zweite Federelement sowie der Abstandshalter der Grundplatte an der ersten Breitseite des Befestigungselements angeordnet sind. Derart kann eine besonders einfache und sichere Ausrichtung des Befestigungselements erfolgen - auch ist es möglich, etwa bei Wartungsarbeiten, die wesentlichen Merkmale für die Funktion des Befestigungselements besonders leicht zu prüfen.The assembly is further facilitated in that the first and second spring element and the spacer of the base plate are arranged on the first broad side of the fastening element. In this way, the fastening element can be aligned in a particularly simple and reliable manner—it is also possible, for example during maintenance work, to check the essential features for the function of the fastening element particularly easily.

Vorzugsweise erstrecken sich das erste und zweite Federelement von der ersten Längsseite des Befestigungselements ausgehend in Richtung der zweiten Längsseite des Befestigungselements. Solche, auf diese Weise vergleichsweise lang ausgeführte Federelemente können beispielsweise das Festklemmen des Befestigungselements in einer Nut des zweiten Sichtprofils verbessern und damit dessen Montage weiter erleichtern. Auch ist die Herstellung solcher Federelemente an einem Befestigungselement vergleichsweise einfach.The first and second spring elements preferably extend from the first longitudinal side of the fastening element in the direction of the second longitudinal side of the fastening element. Such spring elements, which are comparatively long in this way, can, for example, improve the clamping of the fastening element in a groove of the second visible profile and thus further facilitate its assembly. The manufacture of such spring elements on a fastening element is also comparatively simple.

Sind das erste Federelement an der ersten Stirnseite des Befestigungselements und das zweite Federelement an der zweiten Stirnseite des Befestigungselements angeordnet, können die Abmessungen des Befestigungselements reduzieren und Konstruktion sowie Herstellung weiter vereinfacht werden.If the first spring element is arranged on the first end face of the fastening element and the second spring element is arranged on the second end face of the fastening element, the dimensions of the fastening element can be reduced and design and manufacture can be further simplified.

Eine besonders effektive und sicher Montage ist erreichbar, wenn das erste und zweite Federelement jeweils einen ersten Längsabschnitt aufweisen, der von der Grundplatte weg gerichtet verläuft, und einen zweiten Längsabschnitt aufweisen, der der zweiten Breitseite des Befestigungselements zu gerichtet verläuft. Auf diese Weise kann etwa eine Klemmung des Federelements in der Nut einer Profillängsseite erfolgen.A particularly effective and secure installation can be achieved if the first and second spring element each have a first longitudinal section that runs away from the base plate and a second longitudinal section that runs towards the second broad side of the fastening element. In this way, for example, the spring element can be clamped in the groove of a longitudinal side of the profile.

Vorzugsweise weist der zweite Längsabschnitt das jeweilige freie Ende des Federelements auf, um etwa das Einführen des Befestigungselements in eine Nut des zweiten Sichtprofils zu erleichtern.The second longitudinal section preferably has the respective free end of the spring element, in order to facilitate the insertion of the fastening element into a groove of the second visible profile.

Die Handhabung des Befestigungselements bei der Montage ist weiter verbesserbar, wenn der Abstandshalter an der Grundplatte mittig angeordnet ist.The handling of the fastening element during assembly can be further improved if the spacer is arranged centrally on the base plate.

Vorzugsweise ist die erste Montageöffnung am Abstandshalter mittig angeordnet, was die Belastung durch das Anzugsmoment des Befestigungsmittels gleichmäßig auf den Abstandshalter aufteilt und Fehlbelastungen vermeidet. Damit kann die Montage des Befestigungselements weiter erleichtert werden.The first assembly opening is preferably arranged centrally on the spacer, which distributes the load from the tightening torque of the fastening means evenly over the spacer and avoids incorrect loads. This can further facilitate the assembly of the fastening element.

Der Abstandshalter kann in seiner Höhe dem ersten und zweiten Federelement überstehen. Dies kann insbesondere bei der Montage des Befestigungselements von Vorteil sein, wenn die Federelemente noch nicht in die betreffende Nut des zweiten Sichtprofils eingeführt sind und sich diese in einer aufgefederten Lage befinden.The height of the spacer can exceed the first and second spring element. This can be of particular advantage during assembly of the fastening element when the spring elements have not yet been inserted into the relevant groove of the second visible profile and they are in a spring-open position.

Der Abstandshalter kann im Querschnitt eine trapezförmige Außenkontur aufweisen, was einen Beitrag zur Erhöhung der mechanischen Stabilität sowie jener des Befestigungselements liefern und auch eine standfeste Verteilung der Anzugskraft eines Befestigungselements sicherstellen kann.The spacer can have a trapezoidal outer contour in cross section, which can contribute to increasing the mechanical stability and that of the fastening element and can also ensure stable distribution of the tightening force of a fastening element.

Die Befestigung des Befestigungselements an der Unterkonstruktion ist weiter verbesserbar, wenn in der Grundplatte zwischen Abstandshalter und erstem Federelement eine zweite Montageöffnung sowie zwischen Abstandshalter und zweitem Federelement eine dritte Montageöffnung vorgesehen sind.The fastening of the fastening element to the substructure can be further improved if a second assembly opening is provided in the base plate between the spacer and the first spring element and a third assembly opening is provided between the spacer and the second spring element.

Vorzugsweise durchdringt die erste Montageöffnung den Abstandshalter und die Grundplatte, um die Befestigung des Befestigungselements an der Unterkonstruktion weiter zu erleichtern.Preferably, the first mounting hole penetrates the spacer and the base plate to further facilitate attachment of the fastener to the substructure.

Die Konstruktion und Montage des Befestigungselements kann erleichtert werden, wenn die Grundplatte an der zweiten Breitseite des Befestigungselements plan ist. Wenn das Befestigungselement einstückig ausgebildet ist, ist dessen Herstellung zu vereinfachen und sind die Kosten hierfür zu verringern - insbesondere, wenn es aus einem Kunststoffwerkstoff hergestellt werden, vorzugsweise durch ein Spritzgießverfahren.The construction and assembly of the fastening element can be facilitated if the base plate is flat on the second broad side of the fastening element. If the fastening element is formed in one piece, its manufacture can be simplified and the costs thereof reduced - particularly if it is made from a plastics material, preferably by an injection molding process.

Die Grundplatte kann entlang der Federelemente je einen Rücksprung aufweisen, um damit die Beweglichkeit der Federelemente zu erhöhen.The base plate can each have a recess along the spring elements in order to increase the mobility of the spring elements.

Insbesondere von Vorteil ist, wenn das erfindungsgemäße Befestigungselement bei einem Terrassensystem mit einem ersten und einem zweiten Sichtprofil und mit einer Unterkonstruktion verwendet wird, um die beiden Sichtprofile an der Unterkonstruktion zu halten bzw. damit an der Unterkonstruktion zu befestigen.It is particularly advantageous if the fastening element according to the invention is used in a terrace system with a first and a second visible profile and with a substructure in order to hold the two visible profiles on the substructure or to fasten them to the substructure.

Vorzugsweise greift hierbei die Grundplatte des Befestigungselements in Nuten des ersten und zweiten Sichtprofils ein. Vorzugsweise liegen die Federelemente in die Nut des zweiten Sichtprofils federnd an. Vorzugsweise liegen die Profillängsseiten des ersten und zweiten Sichtprofils an den Abstandshalter an. Vorzugsweise ist die erste Breitseite des Befestigungselements von der Unterkonstruktion abgewandt.The base plate of the fastening element preferably engages in grooves in the first and second visible profile. The spring elements are preferably in resilient contact with the groove of the second visible profile. The long sides of the profile of the first and second visible profile preferably rest against the spacer. The first broad side of the fastening element preferably faces away from the substructure.

Das beispielsweise nach Fig. 1 dargestellte Terrassensystem 100 weist mehrere, nämlich zwei, Sichtprofile 1, 2 und ein Befestigungselement 3 auf, welches das erste und zweite Sichtprofil 1, 2 an eine Unterkonstruktion 4, beispielsweise an einen Boden, klemmt und damit befestigt. Die beiden Sichtprofile 1, 2 sind vorzugsweise Terrassenprofile und/oder weisen ein Vollholzprofil auf und/oder sind als Dielen ausgebildet.That for example after 1 Terrace system 100 shown has several, namely two, visible profiles 1, 2 and a fastening element 3, which the first and second visible profile 1, 2 to a substructure 4, for example to a Ground, clamps and fastens with it. The two visible profiles 1, 2 are preferably terrace profiles and/or have a solid wood profile and/or are designed as floorboards.

Das Befestigungselement 3, mit zwei einander gegenüberliegende Breitseiten 3a, 3b, zwei einander gegenüberliegende Längsseiten 3c, 3d und zwei einander gegenüberliegende Stirnseiten 3e, 3f, weist eine Grundplatte 5, zwei federnd ausgebildete Federelemente 6, 7, einen Abstandshalter 8 und eine Montageöffnung 9 auf.The fastening element 3, with two opposite broad sides 3a, 3b, two opposite long sides 3c, 3d and two opposite end faces 3e, 3f, has a base plate 5, two resilient spring elements 6, 7, a spacer 8 and a mounting opening 9 .

Die Grundplatte 5 ist länger und breiter als der Abstandshalter 8, und zum Eingreifen in die einander gegenüberliegende Nuten 1a, 1b einander zugewandter Profillängsseiten 1b, 2b der beiden Sichtprofile 1, 2 ausgebildet. Dies erfolgt - wie in Fig. 1 zu erkennen -, indem die Grundplatte 5 in beide Nuten 1a, 1b des ersten Sichtprofils 1 und des zweiten Sichtprofils 2 einragt.The base plate 5 is longer and wider than the spacer 8 and is designed to engage in the opposing grooves 1a, 1b of profile longitudinal sides 1b, 2b of the two visible profiles 1, 2 that face one another. This is done - as in 1 to recognize - by the base plate 5 in both grooves 1a, 1b of the first visible profile 1 and the second visible profile 2 protrudes.

Das erste und das zweite Federelement 6, 7 stehen der Grundplatte 5 an ersten Breitseite 3a des Befestigungselements 3 vor, wie in Fig. 4 zu erkennen. In der Darstellung und Ausrichtung des Ausführungsbeispiels nach Figur 1 und 4 kann die erste Breitseite 3a als Oberseite des Befestigungselements 3 und die zweite Breitseite 3b als Unterseite des Befestigungselements 3 angesehen werden.
Beide Federelement 6, 7 liegen an der Nut 2a des zweiten Sichtprofils 2 an, und fixieren damit das Befestigungselement 3 in ihrer Lage. Das erste Federelement 6 und das zweite Federelement 7 verlaufen parallel. Hierzu erstrecken sich die beiden Federelement 6, 7 jeweils von der Grundplatte 5 an der ersten Breitseite 3a ausgehend bis zu ihren jeweiligen freien Ende 6a, 7a in Richtung der zweiten Längsseite 3d. Vorzugsweise verlaufen die beiden Federelement 6, 7 normal zur ersten und/oder zweite Längsseite 3c, 3d.The first and the second spring element 6, 7 protrude from the base plate 5 on the first broad side 3a of the fastening element 3, as in FIG 4 to recognize. In the presentation and orientation of the embodiment figure 1 and 4 the first broad side 3a can be regarded as the upper side of the fastening element 3 and the second broad side 3b as the lower side of the fastening element 3.
Both spring elements 6, 7 rest against the groove 2a of the second visible profile 2, and thus fix the fastening element 3 in its position. The first spring element 6 and the second spring element 7 run parallel. For this purpose, the two spring elements 6, 7 each extend from the base plate 5 on the first broad side 3a to their respective free end 6a, 7a in the direction of the second longitudinal side 3d. The two spring elements 6, 7 preferably run normal to the first and/or second longitudinal side 3c, 3d.

Der Abstandshalter 8 geht von der Grundplatte 5 aus und steht der Grundplatte 5 vor und legt mit seiner Breite als Anschlag den Mindestabstand zwischen den beiden Sichtprofilen 1, 2 fest.The spacer 8 starts from the base plate 5 and protrudes from the base plate 5 and defines the minimum distance between the two visible profiles 1, 2 with its width as a stop.

Eine erste Montageöffnung 9 am Befestigungselement 3 dient zur Befestigung des Befestigungselements 3 an der Unterkonstruktion 4, indem diese Montageöffnung 9 von einem Befestigungsmittel 10, nämlich einer Holzschraube, durchgriffen wird. Das Befestigungsmittel 10 drückt das Befestigungselement 3 nieder, was wiederum das erste und zweite Sichtprofil 1, 2 über die in deren Nuten 1a, 2a eingreifende Grundplatte 5 niederhält und somit an der Unterkonstruktion 4 befestigt.A first mounting opening 9 on the fastening element 3 is used to fasten the fastening element 3 to the substructure 4 by having a fastening means 10, namely a wood screw, pass through this mounting opening 9. The fastening means 10 presses down the fastening element 3, which in turn holds down the first and second visible profile 1, 2 via the base plate 5 engaging in their grooves 1a, 2a and thus fastens it to the substructure 4.

Erfindungsgemäß ist nun der Abstandshalter 8 zwischen dem ersten und zweiten Federelement 6, 7 angeordnet und weist auch die erste Montageöffnung 9 auf. Damit ist diese Montageöffnung 9 - wie in Fig. 1 zu erkennen - auch gegenüber der Grundplatte 5 erhöht angeordnet, was bei der Montage zu einer leichteren Zugänglichkeit führt. Besonders aber zeichnet sich die Anordnung der ersten Montageöffnung 9 am Abstandshalter 8 und zwischen den Federelement 6, 7 dahin gehend aus, dass sich das Befestigungselements 3 selbst bei einem hohen Anzugsmoment auf das Befestigungsmittel 10 nicht verdreht. Der zwischen den beiden Sichtprofile 1, 2 eingestellte Abstand bleibt daher stets erhalten, was die Montage erheblich erleichtert. Dies zudem weiter, indem das erste und zweite Federelement 6, 7 sowie der Abstandshalter 8 der Grundplatte 5 an der ersten Breitseite 3a des Befestigungselements 3 angeordnet sind.According to the invention, the spacer 8 is now arranged between the first and second spring element 6 , 7 and also has the first assembly opening 9 . This assembly opening 9 - as in 1 recognizable - also arranged higher than the base plate 5, which leads to easier accessibility during assembly. In particular, however, the arrangement of the first assembly opening 9 on the spacer 8 and between the spring elements 6, 7 is characterized in that the fastening element 3 does not twist even with a high tightening torque on the fastening means 10. The distance set between the two visible profiles 1, 2 is therefore always maintained, which makes assembly considerably easier. This also further in that the first and second spring element 6 , 7 and the spacer 8 of the base plate 5 are arranged on the first broad side 3a of the fastening element 3 .

Wie der Fig. 2 zu entnehmen, erstrecken sich das erste und zweite Federelement 6, 7 von der ersten Längsseite 3c des Befestigungselements 3 ausgehend in Richtung ihrer freien Ende 6a, 7a zur zweiten Längsseite 3d des Befestigungselements 3. Außerdem sind diese beiden Federelemente 6, 7 jeweils an einer Stirnseite 3e bzw. 3f des Befestigungselements 3 vorgesehen, was besonders zu kompakten Außenabmessung am Befestigungselement 3 führt.
Vorzugsweise weist die Grundplatte 5 entlang der Federelemente 6, 7 je einen Rücksprung 13a, 13b auf. Dies kann beispielsweise die Beweglichkeit der Federelemente 6, 7 erhöhen.Again 2 As can be seen, the first and second spring element 6, 7 extend from the first longitudinal side 3c of the fastening element 3 in the direction of their free end 6a, 7a to the second longitudinal side 3d of the fastening element 3. In addition, these two spring elements 6, 7 are each on one end 3e or 3f of the fastening element 3 is provided, which leads in particular to compact outer dimensions on the fastening element 3.
The base plate 5 preferably has a recess 13a, 13b along each of the spring elements 6, 7. This can increase the mobility of the spring elements 6, 7, for example.

Das erste und zweite Federelement 6, 7 weisen je zwei Längsabschnitte 6b, 6c bzw. 7b, 7c auf. Der erste Längsabschnitt 6b bzw. 7b geht von der Grundplatte 5 aus und läuft von der Grundplatte 5 weg, wie dies in der Fig. 4 erkannt werden kann.
Der zweite Längsabschnitt 6c bzw. 7c läuft der Grundplatte 5 bzw. der zweiten Breitseite 3b des Befestigungselements 3 zu und weist das jeweilige freie Ende 6a bzw. 7a des Federelements 6, 7 auf. Damit können die Federelement 6, 7 handhabungsfreundlich in die Nut 2a des zweiten Sichtprofils 2 eingeführt werden.
Symmetrische Verhältnisse in den Abmessungen für eine gleichmäßige Kraftverteilung ergeben sich, wenn der Abstandshalter 8 an der Grundplatte 5 mittig angeordnet ist und die erste Montageöffnung 9 am Abstandshalter 8 mittig angeordnet ist.The first and second spring element 6, 7 each have two longitudinal sections 6b, 6c or 7b, 7c. The first longitudinal section 6b or 7b starts from the base plate 5 and runs away from the base plate 5, as in FIG 4 can be recognized.
The second longitudinal section 6c or 7c runs towards the base plate 5 or the second broad side 3b of the fastening element 3 and has the respective free end 6a or 7a of the spring element 6, 7. The spring element 6, 7 can thus be inserted into the groove 2a of the second visible profile 2 in a manner which is easy to handle.
Symmetrical relationships in the dimensions for an even distribution of force result when the spacer 8 is arranged centrally on the base plate 5 and the first assembly opening 9 is arranged centrally on the spacer 8 .

Wie in Fig. 3 zu erkennen, steht der Abstandshalter 8 der Höhe nach dem ersten und zweiten Federelement 6, 7 über, wodurch der Abstandshalter 8 stets freigestellte Anschlagflächen aufweisen kann. Dies trotz der Anordnung der Federelemente 6, 7 an der gleichen Breitseite 3a des Befestigungselements 3. Zudem weist der Abstandshalter 8 im Längsschnitt eine trapezförmige Außenkontur 8a auf, um die Anzugskräfte des Befestigungsmittels 10 auf die Grundplatte 5 standfest verteilen zu können.As in 3 As can be seen, the spacer 8 protrudes in height from the first and second spring element 6, 7, as a result of which the spacer 8 can always have exposed stop surfaces. This despite the arrangement of the spring elements 6, 7 on the same broad side 3a of the fastening element 3. In addition, the spacer 8 has a trapezoidal outer contour 8a in longitudinal section in order to be able to distribute the tightening forces of the fastening means 10 on the base plate 5 in a stable manner.

Neben der ersten Montageöffnung 9 am Abstandshalter 8 sind am Befestigungselement 3 noch eine zweite und eine dritte Montageöffnung 11, 12 vorgesehen - und zwar an der Grundplatte 5. Diese Montageöffnungen 11, 12 sind zwischen dem Abstandshalter 8 und dem ersten bzw. zweiten Federelement 6, 7 angeordnet und verbessern die Montagebedingungen des Befestigungselements 3.In addition to the first assembly opening 9 on the spacer 8, a second and a third assembly opening 11, 12 are also provided on the fastening element 3 - namely on the base plate 5. These assembly openings 11, 12 are between the spacer 8 and the first and second spring element 6, 7 arranged and improve the mounting conditions of the fastener 3.

Wie der Fig. 3 zu entnehmen, durchdringt die erste Montageöffnung 9 den Abstandshalter 8 und die Grundplatte 5 - wodurch das Montagemittel 10 einfach am Befestigungselement 3 vorgesehen werden kann.
Zudem ist die Grundplatte 5 an der zweiten Breitseite 3b des Befestigungselements 3 plan, um die Positionierung des Befestigungselements 3 in der jeweiligen Nut 1a, 2a der beiden Sichtprofile 1, 2 zu erleichtern.Again 3 to see, the first mounting opening 9 penetrates the spacer 8 and the base plate 5 - whereby the mounting means 10 can be easily provided on the fastening element 3.
In addition, the base plate 5 is flat on the second broad side 3b of the fastening element 3 in order to facilitate the positioning of the fastening element 3 in the respective groove 1a, 2a of the two visible profiles 1, 2.

Das aus einem Kunststoffwerkstoff bestehende Befestigungselement 3 ist zudem einstückig ausgebildet und damit kostengünstig herstellbar.The fastening element 3 consisting of a plastic material is also designed in one piece and can therefore be produced inexpensively.

Wie in Fig. 1 zum Terrassensystem 100 weiter zu erkennen, hält das Befestigungselement 3 die beiden Sichtprofile 1, 2 an der Unterkonstruktion 4. Die Grundplatte 5 des Befestigungselements 3 ragt in beide Nuten 1a, 2a der beiden Sichtprofile 1, 2 ein. Das erste und zweite Federelement 6, 7 liegen federnd an der Nut 2a des zweiten Sichtprofils 2 an. Die erste Breitseite 3b des Befestigungselements 3 ist von der Unterkonstruktion 4 abgewandt. Die zweite Breitseite 3b des Befestigungselements 3 liegt der Unterkonstruktion 4 gegenüber.As in 1 to recognize the terrace system 100, the fastening element 3 holds the two visible profiles 1, 2 on the substructure 4. The base plate 5 of the fastening element 3 protrudes into both grooves 1a, 2a of the two visible profiles 1, 2. The first and second spring element 6, 7 are resiliently against the groove 2a of the second profile 2 sight. The first broad side 3b of the fastening element 3 faces away from the substructure 4 . The second broad side 3b of the fastening element 3 is opposite the substructure 4 .
