According FIG. 1 is the diaphragm body 10a 'angled, in particular L-shaped equipped.

According to all embodiments, the visor body 10 is designed for a functionally essential component 1, in particular for a fitting 1 or a corner fitting, wherein the visor body 10 has at least one aperture 20 and a support member 40, which relates to all embodiments. According to FIG. 4 For example, the diaphragm 20 has a plate element 23 with a front side 21 and a rear side 22. The plate element 23 can be fastened to a carrier element 40. In the rear view according to FIG. 5 is illustrated that the support member 40 has a cavity 42, are arranged in the fastening means 41, which serve to secure the support member 40 to functionally essential component 1, which, for example, in FIG. 3 . FIG. 8 or FIG. 13 is shown.

The support member 40 has a wall 43 which is configured circumferentially and is like a frame. In addition, the support member 40 is designed with a bottom 44 which serves as a contact surface for the diaphragm 20, in particular the plate member 23 and for the functionally essential component. 1

The carrier element has various wall sides 45, wherein in the exemplary embodiments only two opposite wall sides 45 have the fastening means 41. The bottom 44 has an inner side 47, which faces the functionally essential component 1. Furthermore, the bottom 44 has an outer side 48 which is associated or facing the diaphragm 20, in particular the plate element 23. The plate member 23, in particular the diaphragm 20 is and / or is positively and / or non-positively attached to the support member 40, which applies to all embodiments, with one exception in FIG. 11 is shown, in which the outer side 48 of the carrier element 40 a Recess 49, into which a connecting element 60, in particular an adhesive medium 50 can be introduced, so that upon contacting the panel 20, in particular the plate member 23 with the outside 48 of the support member 40, a reliable cohesive connection can be produced.

The first frame element 40a has the protective element 30, which extends in the manner of a projection in the direction of the second diaphragm body 10b, in particular of the second frame element 40b. In this case, the protective element 30 is below the second frame element 40b. It thus forms an asymmetric assembly with respect to both diaphragm body 10a, 10b. The carrier elements 40a, 40b are arranged at a distance from one another on the component 1 which is essential to the function. The protective element 30 also connects the first carrier element 40a with the second carrier element 40b. Especially in FIG. 2 It is clear that at least on one side of the carrier element 40, the circumferential wall 43 has an oblique course to the bottom 44. The oblique course can be seen there on the carrier element 40, where the reference numeral 43 of the carrier element 40b shows. The carrier element 40a, 40 has a plurality of sides, which are formed by the wall 43, wherein a side 52 is formed as a protective side 52 having the protective element 30. This side 52 is also formed obliquely to the bottom 44.

The connecting element 60 has a tapered free end 62, and a thread 61, which is made of a plurality of recesses, whereby the thread 61 is thus formed of a plurality of locking elements 61, which in an attachment to the frame member 40 with the counter-locking elements 63 cooperate and thus form a reliable latching connection. Above the free end 62, the connecting element 60 has a collar element 66, which serves as a positioning aid in step d) (FIG. FIG. 12 ) acts. According to the Figures 14 According to step a) by a welding method, the connecting element 60 is arranged on the flat plate element 20. Subsequently, in accordance with step b), attachment of the carrier element 40 to the panel 20 takes place. FIG. 14b shows that during step a), the step c) takes place, in which both the connecting element 60 and the plate member 23 are melted and in each case a melt 64 on the plate member 23 and connecting element 60 is formed. Subsequently, the connecting element 60 is guided into the melt 64 of the plate element 23 in a step d). According to FIG. 12c it is shown that step d) can already be carried out during step c).

FIG. 11 shows that the support member 40 may have openings 46 associated with each fastener 41. These openings 46 are the result of a low cost injection molding process to efficiently provide the fasteners 41. FIG. 1 to FIG. 3 such as FIG. 13 show that by the device with two visor bodies 10 effectively a wall element 4 or a door element 5 can be accommodated. It has proven to be particularly advantageous that the Ratio V of material thickness M of the diaphragm 20 and depth M + T of the diaphragm body 10 is approximately 5% ≦ V ≦ 35%, s. FIG. 3 , The depth T denotes the depth of the carrier element 40. In this case, in FIG. 3 the aperture 20 and the support member 40 shown slightly spaced to represent the connecting elements 60 can. In an assembled state, the panel 20 abuts flush with the carrier element 40, so that the depth of the entire panel body 10 results from the depth M + T. If the diaphragm 20 is made of a metal, according to the invention the following ratio V is proposed: 10% ≦ V ≦ 25%, which is particularly advantageous. If the diaphragm 20 is made of a glass, the ratio V 15% ≦ V ≦ 35% has proved to be particularly advantageous.

The length of the protective element 30 is dimensioned so that different geometries can be covered on functionally essential components 1 by the visor body 10. According to FIG. 10 The wall 43 of the second carrier element 40b has a length LR which extends in the direction of the first carrier element 40a. The length LS of the protective element 30 is advantageously 30% LR ≦ LS ≦ 200% LR. According to FIG. 6 For example, the protective member 30 has a widthwise extension B oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal extent L, where the widthwise extension B is 40% BS ≦ B ≦ 80% BS, where BS is the longitudinal extent of the protective side 52. As a result, a reliable variability in the visor body 10 can be achieved in order to accommodate different geometries of components 1 that are essential to the function.
