Abstract

A device ( 1 ) for separating regions of a space, with at least one ceiling rail ( 3 ) for pressing on the ceiling ( 4 ) of the space, with at least one wall rail for making contact with the wall ( 7 ) of the space and with at least one floor rail ( 8 ) for resting on the floor ( 9 ) of the space. In order to prevent passage of dust through the separated region of the space, there is least one diagonal brace ( 36 ) for detachable mounting on the wall rail ( 5 ) and the floor rail ( 8 ) outside of the corner region ( 37 ) between the wall rail ( 5 ) and the floor rail ( 8 ) and for applying pressure to the middle region ( 38 ) of the wall rail ( 5 ) and that the diagonal brace ( 36 ) has a length which is greater than half the length of the wall rail ( 5 ).

Claims (33)

1. Device for separating regions of a space, comprising:

at least one ceiling rail for pressing on a ceiling of the space,

at least one wall rail for making contact with a respective wall of the space,

at least one floor rail for resting on the floor of the space,

at least one diagonal brace for detachable mounting on the at least one wall rail and the floor rail outside of a corner region between the wall rail and the floor rail for applying pressure to a middle region of the wall rail, the at least one diagonal brace having a length which is greater than half of the length of the wall rail,

wherein the at least one floor rail and the at least one wall rail have at least one lengthwise running guide

wherein the at least one lengthwise running guide is interrupted in a manner forming at least one insertion opening via which the at least one diagonal brace is insertable into the at least one lengthwise running guide, and

wherein an end of the at least one diagonal brace has a coupled segment with a guide plate for insertion into the guide.

2. Device as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising at least one spring means in at least one end of the at least one diagonal brace, the at least one spring means acting in the lengthwise direction of the at least one diagonal brace.

3. Device as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising at least one adapter piece for bridging irregularities, the adapter piece having an outer brush region.

4. Device as claimed claim 1 , wherein the device is made as a kit for variable assembly adapted to regions of a space of various sizes.

5. Device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the rails and the at least one diagonal brace are made of plastic.

6. Device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each of the rails each comprises a plurality of telescopic rail parts which are able to be telescoped into and out of one another.

7. Device as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising corner connectors, wherein the at least one wall rail comprises two wall rails, and wherein the at least one ceiling rail comprises a ceiling rail and wherein the ceiling rail, two wall rails and the floor rail are connectable to one another via the corner connectors to form a peripheral self-supporting frame.

8. Device for separating regions of a space, comprising:

at least one ceiling rail for pressing on a ceiling of the space,

at least one wall rail for making contact with a respective wall of the space,

at least one floor rail for resting on the floor of the space,

at least one diagonal brace for detachable mounting on the at least one wall rail and the floor rail outside of a corner region between the wall rail and the floor rail for applying pressure to a middle region of the wall rail, the at least one diagonal brace having a length which is greater than half of the length of the wall rail, and

at least one vertically adjustable support rod for placement between the ceiling rail and the floor rail,

wherein a bottom end of the support rod is lockable into the floor rail and wherein the upper end of the support rod is lockable into the ceiling rail.

9. Device as claimed in claim 8 , further comprising at least one spring means in at least one end of the support rod, the at least one spring means acting in the lengthwise direction of the support rod.

10. Device for separating regions of a space, comprising:

at least one ceiling rail for pressing on a ceiling of the space,

at least one wall rail for making contact with a respective wall of the space,

at least one floor rail for resting on the floor of the space,

at least one diagonal brace for detachable mounting on the at least one wall rail and the floor rail outside of a corner region between the wall rail and the floor rail for applying pressure to a middle region of the wall rail, the at least one diagonal brace having a length which is greater than half of the length of the wall rail, and

at least one vertically adjustable support rod for placement between the ceiling rail and the floor rail,

wherein the at least one ceiling rail has at least one lengthwise running guide and wherein a head of the support rod is insertable into the at least one lengthwise running guide of the ceiling rail.

11. Device as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the support rod head has at least one guide projection on each of opposite sides for engaging the at least one lengthwise running guide.

12. Device as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the at least one guide projection is provided on spring legs which are pressable into the support rod head against their spring force.

13. Device as claimed claim 12 , wherein the support rod head is pivotable relative to the ceiling rail, in an inserted state thereof, by at least 20° in both directions relative to the lengthwise direction of the ceiling rail.

14. Device as claimed in claim 13 , wherein the support rod head has at least one bevel or rounding on a lengthwise end of the rail for enabling the pivotable movement thereof relative to the ceiling rail.
