Steps and stairs consisting of several steps are covered with carpets, rugs and other suitable coverings, like sections of normal floor coverings. This is done in order to protect existing stairs to renew and beautify older stairs as well as to make stairs decorative and to make them pleasant and to be able to walk in a sound-absorbing manner.

So far, stairs have been occupied by attaching rods, mostly made of metal, which are used to hold carpet runners to serve. Stairs can also be post-tensioned with the help of nail strips or by nailing or screwing on of the covering on the stairs has been occupied. Today it is common practice to climb stairs through solid Gluing the coverings on the steps to be covered. Thereby are also made of plastic, the front edge covering, elastic angle profiles have been used, which are also glued to the steps and on which the coverings partially extend. Finally, a metal angle rail is known, which is attached to the edge of the step is arranged and adapted to the leading edge profile of the step. It is attached to the step with the help of screws and in the area of the edge has a metal edge protection projecting over the base angle, under which inclined legs, the edges of the covering strips are partially led down. There are separate covering strips intended for the step and the front face of the riser.

to restore them to their original condition without traces of damage, such as glue stains, nails and Screw holes to leave behind, These residues usually cannot be removed completely, and if at all, then only at greater expense.

The cleaning of the stairs occupied by the methods known up to now requires a considerable amount of work, because it has to be done locally or dismantling for cleaning is only possible under great circumstances.

Floor covering pieces with a plastic profile attached to them could also not result in a practically usable one Solution lead because a plastic profile of sufficient strength is too strong and because the flooring pieces were not non-slip and at the same time easily removable.

The invention is primarily intended to avoid the aforementioned disadvantages and, inter alia, the advantages listed below be achieved. The invention is based on the object of providing non-slip stairs with floor coverings, easy and inexpensive to be able to occupy such that they can be removed again without damaging the steps can and do not apply the angle rails heavily.

According to the invention it is provided that the angle rail for loosely laying on the side facing the step with provided with a non-slip layer and connected or connectable to the floor covering on the side facing it is and that the shaping part of the angle rail is formed by a bent sheet metal strip.

The invention enables a loose, sure-footed and non-slip storage of stairs and steps of all kinds. Due to the non-slip layer, there is no need to glue or otherwise attach the angle rail to the step, and a perfect position of the angle rail and the floor covering connected to it is nevertheless guaranteed. The levels can also be attended by less trained staff or laypeople without difficulty be made. The covering including the angle rail can be removed for cleaning and then cleaned outside the house which means that the room in which the stairs are located is not soiled. By the easy Detachable attachment of the coverings can be made underneath if the coverings of individual steps are unevenly worn who can easily exchange or individual study

self-adhesive tapes are made. These enable a particularly simple and inexpensive process, which can also be carried out by laypeople Laying. However, other suitable connection arrangements for receiving the carpet or Plastic coverings or other appropriate and suitable coverings can be provided. Possibly the non-slip layer can protrude over the stiff angle on the long sides. Especially when used Bulky floor coverings or if an additional securing of the floor covering to the rail is desired otherwise the floor covering can also be attached to an overhang of the non-slip layer by stapling, sewing or. Like. Be attached.

All customary floor covering materials, in particular textile carpet floor coverings, can be used as floor coverings other coverings, e.g. synthetic coverings, can also be considered come.

The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the drawings of some exemplary embodiments.

The Pig. 1 shows a stage 4, on which in the area of an angle rail is placed on the front edge. This has one of the step corners angled accordingly Sheet metal strip 1, whose side facing the step 4 is provided with a layer 2 of non-slip material is. This layer 2 made of non-slip material is glued under the sheet metal angle 1 and has protrusions 31 Slightly protrude over the longitudinal side edges of the sheet metal bracket 1. The non-slip layer 2 consists for example Made of a foam rubber-like foam, the side of which facing level 4 is particularly easy to grip. The top of the sheet metal bracket 1 is provided with a layer of adhesive. This is expediently a self-adhesive one Layer or a double-sided self-adhesive tape, which is used until the floor covering is applied are covered with a cover film. Because of the lower price, however, in many cases you will also get one at the Use glue to lay the floor.

This angle rail is particularly suitable for storing levels 4 with such floor coverings and determines which are sufficiently non-slip on their underside, e.g. with a suitable foam waffle back. at It is sufficient for this if only the angle rail itself is additionally equipped with a non-slip layer 2 is. To occupy level 4, the outside of the angle is adjusted to the required size, sufficient Non-slip covering glued on so that it has the desired overhang and the necessary step shape.

The embodiment of FIG. 2 differs from the one after Pig. 1 only in that the non-slip layer 2 is much further over the angular longitudinal side survives. With its wide overhang 2, it covers the entire step surface of step 4, but only the step front part is shown. This embodiment is intended for such floor coverings that on the underside are not provided with any special non-slip features.

The Pig. 3 shows how the floor covering 5 is placed on an angle rail and the extended non-slip layer 2 for covering level 4 is applied. Here, too, only the front part of step 4 is the non-slip layer 2 and the lining. The floor covering 5 is on top of the sheet metal angle 1 with the help of the adhesive layer 10 glued on the whole surface of the angle 1, while on the extended part of the Non-slip layer 2 rests loosely over the step surface 11 of the step 4. By connecting the covering 5 the angled rail provides the covering that extends continuously over the tread and the end face 5 the desired and required edge shape that ensures an attractive appearance of the stairs. at very strong and difficult to work on coverings can be attached to the provided overhang 3 of the non-slip Layer 2 can be sewn on, stapled or attached with other suitable fasteners.

The floor covering 5 will normally extend backwards over the entire step surface up to the riser. In the width it covers in a manner not shown

neither the entire step width or is only in the runner width relocated roughly in the middle. A floor covering section in the shape and size of the Steps prepared accordingly and with the angle rail cut to length accordingly Gluing connected, this either in place on the stairs or already in the manufacturing plant to create prefabricated stair coverings. These prefabricated coverings then only need to be attached to the Trailing edge cut off according to the stepped depth to be, if they are not already completely finished for certain, standardized step depths. Of the Covering 5 provided with the angle rail in this way is simply placed on the step. As a result of the non-slip Shift he holds up perfectly. The step is stored so non-slip and sure-footed. The covering remains Adhere without additional fastening and can be removed and put back on again at any time. But should In special cases, there is a need for additional fastening of the step covering, this can be done at any time done by appropriate means. It is thought of screws, snaps, carpet rivets, eyelets and other suitable fastening options. Due to larger or smaller angle rail dimensions, larger or smaller covering overhangs, it is possible to cover all step sizes as required. The topping can glued on or over the angle rail as far as desired.

An embodiment not shown provides how cantilevered steps, in particular the steps of cantilevered stairs, can be covered according to the invention. This is located on the leading edge and the trailing edge

the cantilevered step in each case an angle rail, which according to the invention in a manner not shown the underside are provided with the non-slip layer and on which the step covering extends over the edges and the end faces are attached to extend. So there are two angle rails in the depth of the step Distance from each other attached to the floor covering 5 in a suitable manner, for example by gluing. The step covering equipped in this way is sure to stay on the step and can be removed and removed very easily to be reissued. Purely standardized step sizes can these coverings are industrially particularly well prefabricated and sold as a complete finished step covering.

Pur the shaping part 1 of the angle rail come the a wide variety of materials with adequate stability and dimensional stiffness and low thickness, such as strip steel, sheet metal, perforated sheets, steel mesh and other suitable materials with suitable dimensions, Thicknesses and surface treatments into consideration. The part of the angle rail that gives shape and stability also needs not, as in the representations of the exemplary embodiments, separately and subsequently attached to the floor covering will. Rather, it can also be a shape and stability-giving material in the floor covering or in the non-slip Layer are incorporated, which by subsequent shaping of the step covering, in particular On-site when laying, gives the flooring the desired shape and stability by putting it together with the flooring is deformed to an angle.

The main advantages of the invention are as follows achieved. With commercially available materials you can

without much effort stairs and other steps in a completely new way loose, but still sure-footed and non-slip, can be quickly and inexpensively covered with new decorative options. Due to the possibility of substitution the service life of the individual step coverings can be better used and extended, because, as is well known, the first step coverings that are worn first can be replaced with less worn step coverings in good time can replace or renew. All types of stairs and steps, including unsupported and coiled, Over the entire width of the step or only in the width of the runner, it is fast, cost-saving and without any special manual work Prove skills. The loose, but non-slip step coverings can Easily removed and put back on for cleaning, mutual exchange or renewal without leaving any traces of fortifications. The floor covering can extend continuously over the edge of the angle rail, so that in the area of the front edge there is no joint on the step where the heel can get caught and fall, as is the case with known angle rails is possible because with these the floor covering only up to one of the edge forming The web of the angle rail is sufficient.

For the sake of completeness, the original text is cited as follows:
