Arrangement to form a raised border.

The present invention relates to an arrangement for forming an upright edge for attaching to or below a floor covering for delimiting a wet area on the ground.

Such are upgrading genuine standing edge is for example to be used to delimit the ground in a shower bath where it is not possible or not desirable to submerge the floor in the shower bath.

According to the present invention it is proposed that the arrangement comprises a festmachbare the bottom bar and a festmachbare at the two long sides of the bar, substantially inverted U-shaped bent plate made of a zusammenschweißbarem or zusammenklebbarem with the floor covering material, such as. For example, PVC, having.

Such an upright edge can be mounted on a floor of, for example, vinyl without visible screw holes by the ledge secured only at the bottom and then the bent plate is fixed to the bar. It is therefore expedient in accordance with the invention that the bent plate and the strip have mutually engageable latch members. Since the bent plate and the floor covering may be glued together or welded together, a complete tightness can be achieved so that no water from the wet area may ooze out of the upright edge.

By the presented embodiment can also be achieved in that the upright edge may be bent as required. According to the invention, it is expedient that the strip is made of foamed plastic.

It is advantageous according to the invention that the arrangement of end-side end plates are welded together with the curved plate has,. This end-side end plates which extend outside the contour of the bent edge to facilitate the fixing of the upright edge of walls against which abuts the edge.

The invention is explained with reference to the drawing. Show it:<ul><li>FIG. 1 is an upright edge in a perspective view, partly in section,</li><li>Fig. 2 is a rear end view of the edge, and</li><li>Fig. 3 is a section along the line AA in Fig. 2.</li></ul>

As is apparent from the drawing, the upright edge on a festmachbare the bottom bar 3, which can consist for example of foamed PVC. At the two long sides of the strip 3 has a substantially inverted U-shaped bent plate 2 is attached, which, for example vinyl consists of a material which is zusammenschweißbar with the flooring or -klebbar.

The resultant edge may be mounted on the existing floor surface or attached to the base before the pad is placed. In this case the covering can be carried out continuously over the edge.
