Abstract

An anchor rail has a base body having a longitudinal groove that extends along a longitudinal center line of the anchor rail, and a rail back, fixed with an anchor, on the side opposite the longitudinal groove. The base body has a one front side perpendicular to the longitudinal center line and fixed with an end plate that protrudes beyond the rail back to the side of the base body facing away from the longitudinal groove and supports an anchoring element, which extends from the side of the end plate on which the base body is arranged. The end plate is flush to the front side and does not protrude into the base body. For a building structure with a concrete member, into which an anchor rail is cast, the longitudinal groove is on a first router side of the concrete member. The end plate runs along a second side of the concrete member and the anchoring element protrudes into the concrete member.

Claims (16)

1. An anchor rail comprising a base body, wherein the base body has a longitudinal groove that extends in a direction of a longitudinal center line of the anchor rail, wherein, on a side located opposite the longitudinal groove, the base body has a rail back; at least one anchor fixed to the rail back, and wherein the base body has a one front side that runs transverse to the longitudinal center line; an end plate fixed to the front side, wherein the end plate protrudes beyond the rail back to the side of the base body located opposite the longitudinal groove; and an anchoring element mounted on the end plate so as to extend from the end plate to a side of the end plate on which the base body is fixed, wherein the end plate is fixed to the front side so as to be flush and not protrude into the base body.

2. The anchor rail according to claim 1 , wherein the anchoring element has a length in a direction parallel to the longitudinal center line of the anchor rail and up to the end plate that corresponds to at least 0.5 times a height of the base body.

3. An anchor rail comprising base body, wherein the base body has a longitudinal groove that extends in a direction of a longitudinal center line the anchor rail, wherein, on a side located opposite the longitudinal groove, the base body has a rail back; at least one anchor fixed to the rail back, and wherein the base body has a one front side that runs transverse to the longitudinal center line; an end plate fixed to the front side, wherein the end plate protrudes beyond the rail back to the side of the base body located opposite the longitudinal groove; and an anchoring element mounted on the end plate so as to extend from the end plate to a side of the end plate on which the base body is fixed, wherein the end plate is fixed to the front side so as to be flush and not protrude into the base body, wherein the anchoring element has an anchoring section that forms an undercut in a direction of the end plate.

4. The anchor rail according to claim 3 , wherein the anchoring element is a cross anchor that has an anchor head that forms the anchoring section.

5. The anchor rail according to claim 4 , wherein the cross anchor has a diameter that corresponds at least to the diameter of the anchor.

6. The anchor rail according to claim 1 , wherein a distance of the anchoring element to the rail back is larger than. a length of the at least one anchor.

7. The anchor rail according to claim 1 , wherein a longitudinal center line of the anchoring element forms an angle of less than 30 ° with the longitudinal center line of the anchor rail.

8. The anchor rail according to claim 7 , wherein the longitudinal center line of the anchoring element is at a distance to the rail back that is at least 110 % of a length of the at least one anchor.

9. An anchor rail comprising a base body, wherein the base body has a longitudinal groove that extends in a direction of a longitudinal center line of the anchor rail, wherein, on a side located opposite the longitudinal groove, the base body has a rail back; at least one anchor fixed to the rail, back and wherein the base body has a one front side that runs transverse to the longitudinal center line; an end plate fixed to the front side, wherein the end plate protrudes beyond the rail back to the side of the base body located opposite the longitudinal groove; and an anchoring element mounted on the end plate so as to extend from the end plate to a side of the end plate on which the base body is fixed, wherein the end plate is fixed to the front side so as to be flush and not protrude into the base body, wherein the end plate completely covers the longitudinal groove on the front side of the base body.

10. The anchor rail according to claim 1 , wherein the base body has a width perpendicular to the longitudinal center line of the anchor rail and perpendicular to a height of the base body, the width being smaller than width of the end plate measured in the same direction.

11. The anchor rail according to claim 1 , wherein the end plate has a thickness measured parallel to the longitudinal center line of the anchor rail that is less than 0.5 times a height of the base body.

12. The anchor rail according to claim 1 , wherein the end plate is non-detachably connected to the base body and the anchoring element is non-detachably connected to the end plate.

13. A building structure, comprising: at least one concrete member; and an anchor rail according to claim 1 cast into the concrete member, wherein the longitudinal groove is arranged on a first side of the concrete member, wherein the first side is an outer side of the concrete member, wherein the end plate runs along a second side of the concrete member and wherein the anchoring element protrudes into the concrete member.

14. The building structure according to claim 13 , wherein an outer side of the end plate facing away from the base body runs flush with the second side, and the anchoring element is arranged completely inside the concrete member.

15. The building structure according to claim 13 , wherein the concrete member is a segment of a tunnel or a ceiling panel of a building structure.

16. An anchor rail comprising a base body, wherein the base body has an interior and a longitudinal groove that extends in a direction of a longitudinal center line of the anchor rail, wherein, on a side located opposite the longitudinal groove, the base body has a rail back; at least one anchor fixed to the rail back, and wherein the base body has a one front side that runs transverse to the longitudinal center line; an end plate fixed to the front side, wherein the end plate protrudes beyond the rail back to the side of the base body located opposite the longitudinal groove; and an anchoring element mounted on the end plate so as to extend from the end plate to a side of the end plate on which the base body is fixed, wherein the end plate is fixed to the front side so as to be flush and not protrude into the base body, and wherein the end plate abuts the front side, so that the interior of the base body is available for fasteners up to the front side of the base body.
