Mounting for paneling elements or a sub-structure for paneling elements

Abstract

The invention relates to a mounting for paneling elements or a sub-structure for paneling elements. Known mountings of this type have the disadvantage that quick, exact and simple adjustment is not possible. Said problem is solved by a mounting comprising an inner profile ( 2 ) that is supported in an outer profile ( 1 ) in a non-rotatable, radially fixed and axially displaceable way relative thereto. One of the profiles ( 1, 2 ) comprises a fastening base ( 2 a ), the other one an installation head ( 5 ). The inner profile ( 2 ) has an inner thread ( 2 b ) extending in the axial direction. A screw ( 4 ) with a screw head ( 4 c ) and an adjusting means ( 4 b ) and an outer thread ( 4 a ) engaging in the inner thread extends through at least part of the outer profile ( 1 ) and the inner profile. The screw head ( 4 c ) is axially fixed in relation to the outer profile ( 1 ), but can be rotated. The adjusting means of the screw can be accessed such that, by rotating the screw, the length of the engagement of the inner profile into the outer profile can be adjusted.

1 .- 15 . (canceled) 
     
     
         16 . A mounting for panelling elements or a sub-structure for panelling elements including an inner profile, which is mounted in an outer profile so as to be rotationally stationary, radially fixed and axially moveable with respect to it, wherein one of the profiles includes a fastening foot and the other profile includes a mounting head, wherein the profiles, which engage within one another, extend in the axial direction between the fastening foot and the mounting head such that the distance between the fastening foot and the mounting head is determined by the length of the engagement of the inner profile in the outer profile, wherein the inner profile includes an internal screw thread extending in the axial direction or an axially and rotationally fixed component which includes such an internal screw thread, wherein a screw with a screw head, an adjustment means and an external screw thread engaging with the internal screw thread extends through at least a portion of the outer profile and of the inner profile in the axial direction, wherein the screw head is axially fixed with respect to the outer profile but is rotatable and wherein the adjustment means of the screw are accessible such that the length of the engagement of the inner profile in the outer profile is adjustable by rotation of the screw. 
     
     
         17 . A mounting as claimed in  claim 16 , characterised in that the inner profile includes the fastening foot and the mounting head is secured to the outer profile. 
     
     
         18 . A mounting as claimed in  claim 17 , characterised in that the fastening foot is formed integrally with the inner profile. 
     
     
         19 . A mounting as claimed in  claim 18 , characterised in that the screw head is fixed axially to the mounting head. 
     
     
         20 . A mounting as claimed in  claim 19 , characterised in that the screw head is axially fixed between two webs on the mounting head and one of the webs has an opening, via which the screw head may be inserted behind the web directed towards the inner profile. 
     
     
         21 . A mounting as claimed in  claim 20 , characterised in that the mounting head, the outer profile and the inner profile together with the fastening foot are each sections cut from endless profiles, whereby the cutting planes of the mounting head and of the inner profile both extend parallel to the axial direction and the cutting planes of the outer profile extend transverse to the axial direction. 
     
     
         22 . A mounting as claimed in  claim 16 , characterised in that the mounting head, the outer profile, the inner profile and the fastening foot are each sections cut from endless profiles, wherein the cutting planes of the mounting head, the inner profile and the fastening foot extend parallel to the axial direction and the cutting planes of the outer profile extend transverse to the axial direction. 
     
     
         23 . A mounting as claimed in  claim 16 , wherein the mounting head, the outer and inner profiles and the fastening foot are manufactured from aluminium or aluminium alloy. 
     
     
         24 . A mounting as claimed in  claim 16 , characterised in that the screw head is axially fixed between two webs on the fastening foot and one of the webs has an opening, via which the screw head may be inserted behind the web directed towards the outer profile. 
     
     
         25 . A mounting as claimed in  claim 16 , characterised in that an insulation means is so arranged on the fastening foot that there is thermal insulation between the fastening foot and a substrate and between the fastening foot and means for fastening the fastening foot to the substrate. 
     
     
         26 . A mounting as claimed in  claim 16 , characterised in that the screw includes a retaining means, which provides an abutment for the inner profile. 
     
     
         27 . A mounting as claimed in  claim 16 , characterised in that a scale is arranged on the inner profile in its longitudinal direction. 
     
     
         28 . Amounting as claimed in  claim 16 , characterised in that the mounting head is of U-shaped construction and has at least one respective groove on the inner surfaces of the limbs, whereby the at least one groove extends transversely to the direction of the limb. 
     
     
         29 . A mounting as claimed in  claim 28 , characterised in that at least one of the limbs of the mounting head has at least two bores, at least one of which is constructed as an elongate hole extending transverse to the direction of the limb. 
     
     
         30 . A mounting as claimed in  claim 29 , characterised in that a locking means with at least one projection is releasably and adjustably arranged in the U-shape mounting head, wherein the at least one projection is associated with one of the grooves on a limb inner surface and engages in it in a fastened state.
