    MODULAR COVER SYSTEM
    Technical field
    The invention relates to a modular canopy system.
    BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
    Known according to the state of the art, canopies are built up from profiles and cross beams, and a coupling between these according to a fixed design whereby everything fits together and a whole is formed. The drawback of the existing architecture is that it allows little variation or play, and moreover may have some openings, so that the connection is not always perfect. There is a need for a system that gives more flexibility and allows it to connect seamlessly. In the current systems, provision is not required for additional appendages, accessories and / or extra cabling. If this is provided, the design is usually limited to the requested application. In case unforeseen and must be applied afterwards, this appears to be rather cumbersome, possibly resulting in complicated and / or radical constructions. Therefore, a certain margin is also required regarding the adaptability and / or expansion of a covering system.
    Object of the invention
    The object of the invention is to provide a covering system which is easy to install and adapt / expand according to desire or specific application, because of a specific design of profiles, intermediate pieces and / or fittings that can be used here.

    Description of the invention
    The modular covering system is characterized by the fact that it is composed of a limited number of core or basic components, making extensions and adjustments easy to implement. Notwithstanding this flexibility, the components, and more particularly the oval tubular components, allow a seamless finish. Moreover, due to the necessary facilities that are coordinated between the various components, adjustments to utilities, such as electricity, are possible at all times. The core or base parts consist of tubular profiles, transverse profiles, and a coupling piece, characterized in that each of the tubular profiles, and transverse profiles, contain a recess which can be closed by the same removable cover plate; and the coupling piece is symmetrical, i.e. can be used both left and right.
    The canopy according to the present invention is constructed from oval aluminum tube profiles, which are already provided with recesses during extrusion, so that the possibility is offered to build in LED strips or to conceal cables in the tubes. Figure 6 shows a part of a covering system 600 provided with tube profiles 610, 610 'and transverse profiles 620. The tubes or tube profiles serve as posts 610', positioned vertically on a ground surface, also called support posts and arches 610, also known as shelves. or called supporting beams, which are positioned horizontally (more or less parallel) or at a certain angle with the posts 610 'according to this ground surface. The fact that the same tube profiles 610, 610 'are used for both the support posts 610' and shelves 610 is a first indication of the simplicity of the canopy system 600 according to the present invention. As illustrated on the basis of a cross-section of a tubular section 10 in Figure 1, the flexibility and adaptability furthermore results from the presence of a recess 101 which can be closed by means of a cover slat 102, and in which utility elements such as lighting, switches, sockets, cabling and such can be processed and adjusted at any time. This provision for installing LEDs and concealing cables is the recess 101 indicated by the arrow in Figure 1. Cross-sections 620 are mounted on the tube profiles that are identified as arcs 610 in Figure 6. On top of these transverse profiles 620, a top plate is also called the roof covering of the roof system, (not shown) mounted. These cross sections 620 are made slimmer in the center 203 according to cross-section and in a specific design illustrated according to the cross-section 20 in Figure 2, making them strong yet light. The transverse profiles on the opposite side are preferably provided with a second smaller recess 204. This is used, for example, to provide a damping material during assembly; such as a mousse or rubber 205, which must absorb vibrations from the top plate, and the structure can thus cause less or no noise nuisance. Or in other words, in a special embodiment the transverse profile is characterized by the presence of two recesses on opposite sides of the profile, one of which can be closed by the cover plate or cover slat 102, and wherein the other recess when placed in the roof system is facing the top plate.
    When used as support posts 610 ', the hollow oval aluminum tube profiles are kept in their straight shape, while when they serve as shelves 610, these hollow tube profiles 610 may be bent either slightly or more strongly, so that the shelves can be called bows. Even with a strong arc shape, it remains possible that, for example, an LED strip can still be used as a result of the recess present in the tube profile. However, when such an LED strip is placed before crimping the tube profiles, it must be able to absorb the strain. Cross sections 620 remain straight and tightly arranged and are not bent.
    In other words, the fact that they are slimmer in the middle 203 does not affect the strength. In the cross-section of the transverse profile 20 of Figure 2, again a recess 201 is shown (indicated by arrow) in which possibly lighting and cables can be concealed, while this recess 201 can be closed again with the same cover slat 202. With the design of this transverse profile 20, 620 and the aforementioned tubular profile 10, 610, 610 ', the modular nature of the canopy system 600 is thus characterized. The fact that the same cover slat 102, 202 can be used for both tubular and transverse profiles is further clarified with reference to Figure 3. Herein, the cover slat 302 with corresponding dimensions in both types of profiles is illustrated.
    The mounting of tubular profile 10, 610, 610 'and transverse profile 20, 620 is preferably done in such a way that the recesses 101, 201 and / or cover slats 102, 202 of both connect to each other, and thus ensure a connection between the two types of profiles. The recesses 101, 201 for cover slat 102, 202 are directed towards each other when assembled. The cables and / or LED strips can then easily extend from tube profile 10, 610, 610 'to transverse profile 20, 620 and can optionally be easily connected together by coupling pieces 640.
    As already indicated above, tube profiles also serve as supports or arches 610 for the roof and are coupled to the tube profiles that are arranged as posts 610 ', with the aid of a coupling piece 640. As further explained below, by choosing a tube profile that serves both as support post 610 'and support 610, it is possible to work with a coupling piece 640 that fits on both the support post 610' and support 610, and thus it is possible to use two of these couplings 640 to support the support post 610 'with the support. 610 to connect. The oval shape of the tube profiles 10, 610, 610 'ensures that the roof 600 can be constructed in a modular way, and the tube profiles 10, 610, 610' connect to each other without having any remaining openings. Due to the oval shape, the tube profile is also symmetrical and the recess 101 can always be placed in the desired direction. The connector 40, 640 connecting the tubular sections 10, 610, 610 'is fully molded and has a disc-shaped end 406 as illustrated in Figures 4 and 5. In the shown embodiment of Figure 6, two such connectors 640 can pivot through an angle up to almost 180 degrees. In this way, canopies offered in all possible angles between support post 610 'and support 610. The coupling piece 40 in two different perspectives shown in Figures 4 and 5, can be used both left and right, as indicated by Figure 6. A single connection between post 610 'and arc 610 consists of two cast equal coupling pieces 640 that fit into each other via the disk-shaped end 406 and rounded cavity 409 and in the middle of the disk-shaped end 604, ie the circular disk are secured to each other by means of a bolt via the opening 407.
    According to one embodiment, smooth disk surfaces are specifically used for the disk-shaped ends 604, in other words, there is no knurling, for example, which would cause the disk surfaces to stick to each other. Securing the disc surfaces and thus locking the structure can be realized, for example, by providing pins in discs, or by the fact that the top plate (not shown) mounted on top of the transverse profiles 620 in Figure 6 is screwed onto the existing gutter. 670 in such a canopy system 600.
    As can be seen in Figure 5 (a), a recess 401 is also provided in the coupling piece 40 so that it fits (slides) into the hollow tube profile provided with the recess 101 into which cables and / or other utilities can be fitted. The coupling pieces 640 partially slide into the tubular sections, from both post 610 'and arc 610, on the basis of the lower part 408, and are secured therein. Thus, the coupling piece 640 becomes a kind of extension of each of the tube profiles (post 610 'and arc 610) and the coupling piece 640 becomes a part of the supporting structure 600. Because of the symmetry present and double use of the coupling piece 640 for both arc 610 as pole 610 ', this architecture represents all the more strong modularity and also offers an economic advantage.
    Also visible in Figure 5 (a) and all the more based on the cross-section in Figure 5 (b) is that in a specific embodiment the bottom piece 408 of the coupling piece 40 is rounded inwards. This hollowing is not completely random and has been chosen so that the rounding of the outside of the oval tube profiles 10, 610, 610 'fits perfectly. Two coupling pieces 640 which fit into each other can therefore also be used to further connect pipe profiles 10, 610, 610 'along the outside via bottom piece 408, and in particular with reference to recess 411, and not to cause each other to slide into the pipe profiles .
    The coupling piece 40, 640 can moreover serve for various applications, such as for example railings, and scaffolding. It is easy to use and can adjust to the desired angle. In addition, the coupling piece 40, 640, by its shape, allows to add additional pieces to the arrangement in a simple manner. As an example, reference is made to providing a trough 670 on the canopy system 600 according to the present invention, as illustrated in Figure 6. In a preferred form, an intermediate piece is placed between the disk surfaces 406 of the coupling pieces 40. In its simplest form, this intermediate piece consists of a disc, but preferably this intermediate piece is provided with an extension piece on the narrow side of the intermediate piece by means of which, for example, attributes or other components can be attached to the modular system. Figures 9 and 10 show an example of such an intermediate piece to which or to which the trough 670 can be coupled. The intermediate piece can be rotated between the disc surfaces to a certain desired angle and position of hook iron on this intermediate piece, whereby the gutter ends up either next to or (partly) on top of the structure or frame of the tube profiles. In other words, by adding a so-called swivel 90, or round disk 95 with attachment 97 (such as for example a hook or other profile) illustrated in Figure 9 between the two coupling pieces 40, 640, one can add additional elements - here suspension of a gutter - rotate in the correct direction and fix it as required. Such a swivel, intermediate piece or accessory 90 again promotes the modularity of the system 600. An example of a swivel 1090, trough 1070 and coupling pieces 1040 is shown in Figure 10.
    The invention therefore also has for its object to offer a coupling piece for different applications, such as for example railings, and scaffolding construction. The coupling piece for use in, among other things, the covering system as described herein is thus characterized by a bottom piece 408, which has a disc-shaped end 406 and a rounded recess 409 on one side, and wherein the bottom piece fits into a tube, in particular in the tube. hollow tube profiles as described herein. In order to simplify the positioning of the coupling pieces in the tubes (to ensure that they are always pushed into the tubes at the same depth) in a preferred form the bottom part comprises an upstanding edge 412. In another embodiment the bottom part is on the bottom side, in particular on the side facing the tube, provided with a recess 411. As already indicated above, this recess allows a tube to be placed transversely to the coupling piece, for example when placing a support post on the non-end face of a shelf in the canopy system as described herein. By means of a central opening 407 in the disc-shaped end 406, and the presence of the rounded recess 409, two of the coupling pieces can be put together in a hinged manner, for example by means of a screw or bolt. In another embodiment, the coupling piece is characterized by the presence of a recess 401 in at least one of the upright sides of the bottom piece. In the embodiment shown in Figure 5 a) there is only one recess present, but a similar recess can of course also be present in the other upright side. Through this recess, utility pipes can be fed through the pipe profiles over the coupling.
    Figure 7 shows an embodiment of a cross-section of a trough 70 according to the present invention. The trough 70 according to this design is provided with well-defined roundings, slots, slots and double-walled pieces in order to promote the strength, functionality and appearance. A slot 717 is provided to allow the top plate (not shown) which is mounted on top of the transverse profiles to be inserted and subsequently screwed down. The rounding 716 at the end of this slot 717 is slightly lower in height than the rounding 718 of the outer edge of the trough 70, for aesthetic reasons. After all, in this way, the rounding 716 is not visible to a person or viewer on the ground floor, and cast at standard height (approximately ... m). The trough 70 comprises 2 double-sided walls 712, 713, one of which is an upright wall 712 and one lying wall 713. These double-sided walls serve specifically for mounting substructure elements. Moreover, in the case of the horizontal wall, the top side 715 is thinner and the bottom side 714 thicker to provide extra firmness at the bottom. Additional slots or slots may also be provided for, for example, providing a mesh plate (not shown) in the trough 70.
    Figure 8 illustrates an embodiment of wall plate 80 according to the present invention, for fixing a tube profile, in particular a trailer 610, to a wall or upright surface 50. The wall plate 80 is provided with an extension piece 811 designed with a specific rounding so that the oval tube profile fits in, and can be fixed in this way. Two holes 807 are provided in the wall plate 80 so that it can be screwed into the wall on upright wall 50.
