Abstract

A fire-protection arrangement (21) for an installation (1, 4) is described, for example a lead-through arrangement, for example for cables or pipes, in a partition (2), for example a wall. The fire-protection arrangement (21) is arranged to be mounted on one side of the partition (2) in such a way that it at least partially surrounds the installation (1, 4).

Claims

1. Fire-protection arrangement for an installation having a lead-through arrangement in a partition, comprising at least one element to be mounted on one side of the partition in such a way that the lement at least partially surrounds the installation.

2. Fire-protection arrangement according to claim 1, wherein the element includes an extent parallel to the partition that is greater than its extent perpendicular to the partition.

4. Fire-protection arrangement according to claim 1, wherein at least a part of the fire-protection arrangement is constructed of a non-combustible material.

5. Fire-protection arrangement according to claim 1, wherein the element extends further out from the partition than the installation.

6. Fire-protection arrangement (21) according to claim 1, wherein the element comprises a plurality of frame elements that are arranged, when the fire-protection arrangement is mounted, to be in contact with each other and in sequence around the perimeter of the installation, and at least one cover element being provided to cover at least a part of a joint between two frame elements.

7. Fire-protection arrangement according to claim 6, in which the cover element is arranged to extend on the outside of the frame elements, and along the joint, and to be attached to the partition.

8. Fire-protection arrangement according to claim 1, wherein the element comprises a plurality of frame elements that are arranged, when the fire-protection arrangement is mounted, to be in contact with each other and in sequence around the perimeter of the installation, and at least one engagement element being arranged in at least one joint between two frame elements, the engagement element having a shape that at least partially corresponds to the shape of at least one recess in at least one of the frame elements.

9. Fire-protection arrangement according to claim 1, wherein the element comprises a plurality of layers that are arranged parallel to the partition when the fire-protection arrangement is mounted, with at least one of the layers being a layer with low heat conductivity

3. Fire-protection arrangement according to wherein the element is in contact with the partition.
