Abstract
A series of fittings is provided for joining I or U-beams of composite materials for bearing structures in form of frames, lattice structures etc. Each joint between adjacent beams is formed by particular fittings of a U-shaped profile in cross section. The back of the U
is of a width corresponding to the inner width between the flanges of the I or the U-beams. The flanges of these fittings present almost the same outer width as the inner width of the flanges of the I or the U-beams. When seen in the longitudinal direction, the particular fitting of each beam joint is formed by two members together forming the same angle as the adjacent beams of the beam joint. The resulting joining of structures is very fast compared to conventional joining of structures, and it presents nevertheless a high strength.

Description
WO 96/31667 PCTnDh~6/00163 Title: A series of fittinqs for ioininq I or U-beams or other beam cross sections Technical Field The invention relates to a series of fittings for joining I or U-beams or other 5 beam cross sections, such as for instance T, V, Z, H, C as well as particu-lar types of beam profiles, such as for instance a hollow H-profile of com-posite materials for bearing structures in form of frames, lattice structures etc.
The individual fittings of the series of fittings are to be used for joining 10 single profiles of I or U-beams or other types of the above beam cross sections for said bearing structures which are used within the chemical industry, offshore, ship construction, water purifying plants, buildings for EMC-test housings, masts for railways, airports etc.
Backqround Art 15 US-A-5,210,990 discloses wood construction members in form of wood panels made of wood composite material or a replacement of wood panels made of solid wood. This publication discloses a way of joining construc-tion members which are perpendicularto one another by means of a box--shaped splice block.
20 DE-A-847,068 discloses a joining method by means of wedges being wedged up between the joining fittings and the metal profiles. Such a joining cannot be used for transferring a large moment load because the wedges involve a point load and are difficult to position in practice. The invention known from this publication is based on the fact that the 25 material is ductile, which is not characteristic of fibre-reinforced plastic materials, a so-called composite material.
Brief Descri~tion of the Invention.
The object of the present invention is to provide such fittings which allow a very fast joining of bearing structures compared to conventional joinings 5 of steel structures, whether said structures are welded or bolted, and which simultaneously obtain a high strength.
This object is according to the invention obtained by each joint between adjacent beams being formed by particular fittings of a cross-sectional profile with a body and flanges fittingly following the body and flanges of 10 the beams on the inner and/or the outer side, and that the particular fit-tings of each beam joint are shaped as two members when seen in the longitudinal direction, said two members forming the same angle as the adjacent beams of the beam joint.
The fittings can be attached to the composite profiles by way of bolting or 15 gluing or a combination thereof. The resulting strength is high because the fittings cover the largest possible portion of the surface of the profile and accordingly distribute the forces across the largest possible area. The latter presents a decisive factor in connection with beams made of a composite material because the capacity of such beams for resisting point loads is 20 poor. The cross sectional shape of the fittings is adapted to the shape of the beams so as thereby to obtain a maximum contact surface for trans-ferring the bending and the tractive/compressive forces, the shearing stress, the torsional and the moment forces about both the weak and the strong axis of the profile. In addition, the contact surface reduces the 25 point loads and provides self-supporting properties during the mounting without the use of wedges etc. The shape of the fittings solves the pro-blem of the expressed difference between the tensile and bending strength versus the shearing stress. Finally, in connection with a glue joint, the shape of the fittings ensure that the forces are transferred by means of a WO g6/31667 PCT/DK96/00163 shearing stress either onto the body or on~o the flanges no matter which direction the fittings are subjected to a ioad. The latter is essential to glue joints because such joints can only absorb shearing stresses.
As indicated in claim 2, the fittings may be made of materials of a differing 5 thickness in the body and the flanges, respectively. Thus a demand often applies for a larger thickness in the flanges than in the body due to the prevailing force effects, but the opposite can sometimes be the case.
As indicated in claim 3, the fittings may be perforated in a pattern not 10 involving a reduction of the strength about the bolt openings. The purpose of using a perforation in connection with the adhesive joint is that both a mechanical and a chemical adhering is obtained between the fittings and the profiles, whereby it is possible to visually check the position of the glue. The perforation is used in connection with metals because the 15 weight of the structure is thereby reduced. Finally, the perforation allows the use of self-cutting screws in case it is desired.The bolts used may be ordinary machine bolts, carriage bolts, unbracco bolts with a countersunk head, as well as self-cutting screws, button-head rivets, ordinary rivets etc. Here it is possible merely to use a hand drill, and the joinings can 20 typically be carried out in less than 5 minutes.
As stated in claim 4, many different types of materials and material combi-nations may be used for the individual fittings in response to the use.
Below fibre-reinforced plastics is mentioned in form of thermoset or ther-moplast or fittings made of metal. Examples of a composite material in 25 form of fibre-reinforced thermoset are for instance polyesters, vinylesters, bisphenoles, epoxy, phenoles, polyurethane etc. Examples of a composite material in form of fibre-reinforced thermoplast are polypropylene, poly-ethylene, acrylnitrilo-butadiene-styrene terpolymer, polyamide, polyethyl-ene terephthalate and polyurethane. Examples of metals are steel, stain-30 less steel, zinc, copper, magnesium etc.
When the fittings are made of composite materials which are anisotropic materials, the fibre orientation is often +/- 45~, 90~, 0~ in orderto obtain an optimum shearing stress and torsional rigidity. Such fittings of compo-site materials are moulded of thermoset or shaped from thermoplast.
5 As stated in claim 5, the individual fittings of a composite material may comprise tear-off tape or tissue or a glue sheet in the surfaces facing the beams so as to improve a glue joint. It is obvious, that such a glue joint can be supplemented with another joint as stated above, such as a bolt joint.
10 As stated in claim 6, both beams and fittings may be made of the same material, which is often very advantageous with respect to the strength, the resilience, the resistance, the isolation, the thermal expansion etc.
As stated in claim 7, the individual fittings may be manufactured either by way of pultrusion, injection moulding, cold pressing, hot pressing, by hand 15 lay up etc.
As stated in claim 8, the individual fittings may for instance by way of moulding be provided with drilling instructions for drilling holes for the bolt joints or rivet joints etc.
According to the invention the fittings follow the angle of the joint, and all 20 angular sizes are possible both in connection with angles in the same plane, cf. for instance Fig. 5, and in connection with obliquely falling or rising angles, cf. for instance Fig. 10.

In the Figure, the individual beams 1 to 7 are shaped as shown, the bodies of the beams being indicated by means of dotted lines. A sectional view along the line A-A of Fig. 1 illustrates the cross section of the beam. The illu-20 strated lattice structure is 1.5 m in any direction. As shown, the beams 6and 7 form an angle of 90~, and together with the beam 1 they form angles of 45~ to their respective sides.
Fig. 2 is a diagrammatic view of the individual types of fittings and their use in the lattice structure of Fig. 1.
25 Fig. 3a illustrates a plane rectangular metal blank with a perforated pat-W O96/31667 PCT~DK~6/00163 tern, said metal blank being intended for the manufacture of a fitting according to the invention. Notches 10, 1 1, 12, 13 are punched out from the longitudinal edges 14, 15. These notches form angles of 45~ with a central line 18 parallel to the short edges 16, 17.
5 The metal blank of fig. 3a comprises bending lines 19, 20 parallel to the longitudinal edges and extending through the intersection of the notches 10, 1 1, 12, 13 with the central line 18.
A 90~ bending along the bending lines 19, 20 results in a profile of a U-shaped cross section, said profile subsequently being bent 90~ around the 10 central line 18. Then the edges 10 and 1 1 are welded together with the edges 12 and 13 which results in an inner corner joint to be used at one of the four rectangular corners, such as in the corner between the l-beams 1 and 2 of Fig 1.
Fig. 3b illustrates a corresponding plane blank as in Fig. 3a, but made of 1~ a thermoplastic material, and shown before it is bent into a completed rectangular inner corner fitting, The mating parts of Fig. 3a and Fig. 3b are provided with the same reference numerals. It should be noted that no notches are punched out in Fig. 3b like in Fig. 3a. Instead, slots 21, 22 are provided parallel to the short edges 16, 17, said slots projecting from the 20 long edges until the bending lines 19, 20. When the thermoplast material of Fig. 3b is bent about a line coinciding with the lines 21, 22, the exceed-ing portions of the material at the flanges overlap one another and melt together due to the heat supplied during the moulding process. It is ob-vious that the blank shown in Fig. 3b of thermoplastic material can also be 25 provided with a perforated pattern as shown in connection with the the metal blank of Fig. 3a.
Figs. 4a, 4b and 4c illustrate an inner corner fitting ready-made from the blank of Fig. 3b. This fitting can also be a corner fitting moulded of thermoset.
Figs. 4d, 4e and 4f illustrate half the inner rectangular corner fitting shown in Figs. 4a, 4b and 4c. This fitting comprises thus only one flange and half the body.
5 Fig. 5a is a perspective view of the joining of two l-beams 30 and 31 not forming a corner by means of the corner fitting of Figs. 4a, 4b and 4c.
This corner fitting is designated 32 in Fig. 5a.
Fig. 5b is a perspective view of the joining of two T-beams 33 and 34 by means of a corner fitting 35 of the type shown in Figs. 4d, 4e and 4f.
10 Fig. 5c is a perspective and an exploded view of the joint between two 1-beams 36 and 37. The l-beam 37 is at the end facing the l-beam 36 pro-vided with a nose 45. This nose results from further portions of the flanges of the l-beam being removed in such a manner that the body of the l-beam no longer projects so as to enter between the flanges on the 15 I-beam 36. This is not a particular object of the invention, but it serves toreinforce the joining additionally. Two corner fittings 32 as shown in Fig.
5a as well as an 0~ fitting 38 are used for the joint. All the members are made of the same type of composite material, and the joining is performed by way of gluing followed by bolting as indicated by the bolts 39 and nuts 20 40 shown.
Figs. 6a, 6b and 6c illustrate an outer corner fitting 41, i.e. the bodies 42 and 43 of the two parts of the fitting form an angle about a "bending line"
44. This fitting can be manufactured directly by moulding of thermoset.
Then no actual bending is to be performed about the line 44.
25 Figs. 7a and 7b illustrate a 0~ fitting 38 used in the middle at the top of Fig. 2 or Fig. 1, the same type of fitting being used on the inner side and W O96/31667 PCT~DK96/00163 the outer side for interconnecting the l-profiles of Fig.1 in the middle. Fig.
7c is a perspective view of the 0~ fitting of Figs. 7a and 7b arranged in 1-beams of composite material for interconnecting two such l-beams. Corre-spondingly, Fig. 7_ is a perspective and an exploded view of the joining of 5 I-beams of composite material by means of two 0~ fittings as shown in Figs. 7a and 7b.
Figs. 8a, 8b and 8c illustrate a 45~ fitting, and Fig. 8d is a perspective and an exploded view of a joint between three l-beams by means of two 45~ fittings and a 90~ fitting as well as a 0~ fitting. This joint can for 10 instance be the joint shown in the middle of the l-beam of Fig. 1, where said beam meets the two l-beams 6 and 7. Therefore the l-beams of Fig.
8d are designated in the same manner as the l-beams at the location in question in Fig. 1. The joining is performed by means of a rectangular fitting 32, two 45~ fittings 50 and a 0~ fitting 38. All these fittings can 15 for instance be made of a composite material of the same type, and the fittings can either be moulded of thermoset or made of thermoplast. The fittings fit tightly in the l-profiles in the manner described in claim 1. The joining can be performed as a glue joining, and in order to improve the glue joining the fittings can be provided with tear-off tape ensuring that the 20 glued surfaces are kept clean. Then the joint can be further reinforced by means of the screws 39 and nuts 40 shown. As an alternative, the fittings can be provided with a glue sheet in such a manner that after the tearing off of the sheet the fittings comprise an uncovered glue surface on the bodies and flanges facing the l-beams.

Figs. 9a, 9b and 9c illustrate a 135~ inner fitting 60, Fig. 9d being a 30 perspective view of said inner fitting. This fitting serves to join the two W O96/31667 PCT~DK96/00163 illustrated l-beams 61 and 62. On the opposite side of the joint of Fig. 9d it is, of course, possible to attach a second fitting following the body and the flanges of the l-beams in a corresponding manner.
Figs. 1 0a and 1 0b illustrate the joining of two l-beams 71 and 72 by 5 means of a fitting 70 in such a manner that here the beams form an angle of 135~, but in a plane perpendicular to the joining plane of Fig. 9d. The illustrated fitting 70 is preferably manufactured by way of moulding of thermoset. Here too a corresponding fitting is provided on the opposite side of the joint of the l-beams 71, 72.
10 Figs. 10c and 10d illustrate the joining of two T-beams 81 and 82 by means of a fitting 80 essentially corresponding to half the fitting 70 of Figs. 10a and 10b. This fitting is also preferably moulded of thermoset.
Fig. 1 1 a is a perspective view of the joining of two l-beams of composite material. These two l-beams 91 and 100, respectively, are arranged in 15 continuation of one another, and they are joined by means of two identical fittings 90 which together fittingly follow the body and flanges of the beams, said two fittings being in contact in the line of symmetry of the flanges of the beams 91, 92.
Fig. 1 1 b is a perspective view of a joining like the joining of Fig. 1 1 a, but 20 whereby l-beams 101 and 102 are perpendicular to one another and form a corner. In this case the inner corner fitting 103 differs from the outer corner fitting 104 in the manner illustrated.

Fig. 14 illustrates a 90~ joint between a through l-profile 141 and an adjacent l-profile 142. This joint is provided by means of a particularly 10 moulded fitting 140 preferably moulded of thermoset. This fitting 140 comprises a base member 143 and two U-shaped profile members 144 and 145 interspaced a distance corresponding to the body of the vertical l-profile 142. This fitting is attached to the l-profiles in such a manner that initially the fitting is pushed downwards over the vertical l-profile 143 15 whereafter the horizontal through l-profile 141 is placed on the base mem-ber 143 which in turn is then attached to the horizontal through l-profile 141 by means of bolt connections optionally not until the joining has been performed in advance by means of gluing.
The individual fittings of the series of fittings are to be used for joining 10 single profiles of I or U-beams or other types of the above beam cross sections for said bearing structures which are used within the chemical industry, offshore, ship construction, water purifying plants, buildings for EMC-test housings, masts for railways, airports etc.
Backqround Art 15 US-A-5,210,990 discloses wood construction members in form of wood panels made of wood composite material or a replacement of wood panels made of solid wood. This publication discloses a way of joining construc-tion members which are perpendicularto one another by means of a box--shaped splice block.
20 DE-A-847,068 discloses a joining method by means of wedges being wedged up between the joining fittings and the metal profiles. Such a joining cannot be used for transferring a large moment load because the wedges involve a point load and are difficult to position in practice. The invention known from this publication is based on the fact that the 25 material is ductile, which is not characteristic of fibre-reinforced plastic materials, a so-called composite material.
Brief Descri~tion of the Invention.
The object of the present invention is to provide such fittings which allow a very fast joining of bearing structures compared to conventional joinings 5 of steel structures, whether said structures are welded or bolted, and which simultaneously obtain a high strength.
This object is according to the invention obtained by each joint between adjacent beams being formed by particular fittings of a cross-sectional profile with a body and flanges fittingly following the body and flanges of 10 the beams on the inner and/or the outer side, and that the particular fit-tings of each beam joint are shaped as two members when seen in the longitudinal direction, said two members forming the same angle as the adjacent beams of the beam joint.
The fittings can be attached to the composite profiles by way of bolting or 15 gluing or a combination thereof. The resulting strength is high because the fittings cover the largest possible portion of the surface of the profile and accordingly distribute the forces across the largest possible area. The latter presents a decisive factor in connection with beams made of a composite material because the capacity of such beams for resisting point loads is 20 poor. The cross sectional shape of the fittings is adapted to the shape of the beams so as thereby to obtain a maximum contact surface for trans-ferring the bending and the tractive/compressive forces, the shearing stress, the torsional and the moment forces about both the weak and the strong axis of the profile. In addition, the contact surface reduces the 25 point loads and provides self-supporting properties during the mounting without the use of wedges etc. The shape of the fittings solves the pro-blem of the expressed difference between the tensile and bending strength versus the shearing stress. Finally, in connection with a glue joint, the shape of the fittings ensure that the forces are transferred by means of a WO g6/31667 PCT/DK96/00163 shearing stress either onto the body or on~o the flanges no matter which direction the fittings are subjected to a ioad. The latter is essential to glue joints because such joints can only absorb shearing stresses.
As indicated in claim 2, the fittings may be made of materials of a differing 5 thickness in the body and the flanges, respectively. Thus a demand often applies for a larger thickness in the flanges than in the body due to the prevailing force effects, but the opposite can sometimes be the case.
As indicated in claim 3, the fittings may be perforated in a pattern not 10 involving a reduction of the strength about the bolt openings. The purpose of using a perforation in connection with the adhesive joint is that both a mechanical and a chemical adhering is obtained between the fittings and the profiles, whereby it is possible to visually check the position of the glue. The perforation is used in connection with metals because the 15 weight of the structure is thereby reduced. Finally, the perforation allows the use of self-cutting screws in case it is desired.The bolts used may be ordinary machine bolts, carriage bolts, unbracco bolts with a countersunk head, as well as self-cutting screws, button-head rivets, ordinary rivets etc. Here it is possible merely to use a hand drill, and the joinings can 20 typically be carried out in less than 5 minutes.
As stated in claim 4, many different types of materials and material combi-nations may be used for the individual fittings in response to the use.
Below fibre-reinforced plastics is mentioned in form of thermoset or ther-moplast or fittings made of metal. Examples of a composite material in 25 form of fibre-reinforced thermoset are for instance polyesters, vinylesters, bisphenoles, epoxy, phenoles, polyurethane etc. Examples of a composite material in form of fibre-reinforced thermoplast are polypropylene, poly-ethylene, acrylnitrilo-butadiene-styrene terpolymer, polyamide, polyethyl-ene terephthalate and polyurethane. Examples of metals are steel, stain-30 less steel, zinc, copper, magnesium etc.
When the fittings are made of composite materials which are anisotropic materials, the fibre orientation is often +/- 45~, 90~, 0~ in orderto obtain an optimum shearing stress and torsional rigidity. Such fittings of compo-site materials are moulded of thermoset or shaped from thermoplast.
5 As stated in claim 5, the individual fittings of a composite material may comprise tear-off tape or tissue or a glue sheet in the surfaces facing the beams so as to improve a glue joint. It is obvious, that such a glue joint can be supplemented with another joint as stated above, such as a bolt joint.
10 As stated in claim 6, both beams and fittings may be made of the same material, which is often very advantageous with respect to the strength, the resilience, the resistance, the isolation, the thermal expansion etc.
As stated in claim 7, the individual fittings may be manufactured either by way of pultrusion, injection moulding, cold pressing, hot pressing, by hand 15 lay up etc.
As stated in claim 8, the individual fittings may for instance by way of moulding be provided with drilling instructions for drilling holes for the bolt joints or rivet joints etc.
According to the invention the fittings follow the angle of the joint, and all 20 angular sizes are possible both in connection with angles in the same plane, cf. for instance Fig. 5, and in connection with obliquely falling or rising angles, cf. for instance Fig. 10.

In the Figure, the individual beams 1 to 7 are shaped as shown, the bodies of the beams being indicated by means of dotted lines. A sectional view along the line A-A of Fig. 1 illustrates the cross section of the beam. The illu-20 strated lattice structure is 1.5 m in any direction. As shown, the beams 6and 7 form an angle of 90~, and together with the beam 1 they form angles of 45~ to their respective sides.
Fig. 2 is a diagrammatic view of the individual types of fittings and their use in the lattice structure of Fig. 1.
25 Fig. 3a illustrates a plane rectangular metal blank with a perforated pat-W O96/31667 PCT~DK~6/00163 tern, said metal blank being intended for the manufacture of a fitting according to the invention. Notches 10, 1 1, 12, 13 are punched out from the longitudinal edges 14, 15. These notches form angles of 45~ with a central line 18 parallel to the short edges 16, 17.
5 The metal blank of fig. 3a comprises bending lines 19, 20 parallel to the longitudinal edges and extending through the intersection of the notches 10, 1 1, 12, 13 with the central line 18.
A 90~ bending along the bending lines 19, 20 results in a profile of a U-shaped cross section, said profile subsequently being bent 90~ around the 10 central line 18. Then the edges 10 and 1 1 are welded together with the edges 12 and 13 which results in an inner corner joint to be used at one of the four rectangular corners, such as in the corner between the l-beams 1 and 2 of Fig 1.
Fig. 3b illustrates a corresponding plane blank as in Fig. 3a, but made of 1~ a thermoplastic material, and shown before it is bent into a completed rectangular inner corner fitting, The mating parts of Fig. 3a and Fig. 3b are provided with the same reference numerals. It should be noted that no notches are punched out in Fig. 3b like in Fig. 3a. Instead, slots 21, 22 are provided parallel to the short edges 16, 17, said slots projecting from the 20 long edges until the bending lines 19, 20. When the thermoplast material of Fig. 3b is bent about a line coinciding with the lines 21, 22, the exceed-ing portions of the material at the flanges overlap one another and melt together due to the heat supplied during the moulding process. It is ob-vious that the blank shown in Fig. 3b of thermoplastic material can also be 25 provided with a perforated pattern as shown in connection with the the metal blank of Fig. 3a.
Figs. 4a, 4b and 4c illustrate an inner corner fitting ready-made from the blank of Fig. 3b. This fitting can also be a corner fitting moulded of thermoset.
Figs. 4d, 4e and 4f illustrate half the inner rectangular corner fitting shown in Figs. 4a, 4b and 4c. This fitting comprises thus only one flange and half the body.
5 Fig. 5a is a perspective view of the joining of two l-beams 30 and 31 not forming a corner by means of the corner fitting of Figs. 4a, 4b and 4c.
This corner fitting is designated 32 in Fig. 5a.
Fig. 5b is a perspective view of the joining of two T-beams 33 and 34 by means of a corner fitting 35 of the type shown in Figs. 4d, 4e and 4f.
10 Fig. 5c is a perspective and an exploded view of the joint between two 1-beams 36 and 37. The l-beam 37 is at the end facing the l-beam 36 pro-vided with a nose 45. This nose results from further portions of the flanges of the l-beam being removed in such a manner that the body of the l-beam no longer projects so as to enter between the flanges on the 15 I-beam 36. This is not a particular object of the invention, but it serves toreinforce the joining additionally. Two corner fittings 32 as shown in Fig.
5a as well as an 0~ fitting 38 are used for the joint. All the members are made of the same type of composite material, and the joining is performed by way of gluing followed by bolting as indicated by the bolts 39 and nuts 20 40 shown.
Figs. 6a, 6b and 6c illustrate an outer corner fitting 41, i.e. the bodies 42 and 43 of the two parts of the fitting form an angle about a "bending line"
44. This fitting can be manufactured directly by moulding of thermoset.
Then no actual bending is to be performed about the line 44.
25 Figs. 7a and 7b illustrate a 0~ fitting 38 used in the middle at the top of Fig. 2 or Fig. 1, the same type of fitting being used on the inner side and W O96/31667 PCT~DK96/00163 the outer side for interconnecting the l-profiles of Fig.1 in the middle. Fig.
7c is a perspective view of the 0~ fitting of Figs. 7a and 7b arranged in 1-beams of composite material for interconnecting two such l-beams. Corre-spondingly, Fig. 7_ is a perspective and an exploded view of the joining of 5 I-beams of composite material by means of two 0~ fittings as shown in Figs. 7a and 7b.

This joint can for 10 instance be the joint shown in the middle of the l-beam of Fig. 1, where said beam meets the two l-beams 6 and 7. Therefore the l-beams of Fig.
8d are designated in the same manner as the l-beams at the location in question in Fig. 1. The joining is performed by means of a rectangular fitting 32, two 45~ fittings 50 and a 0~ fitting 38. All these fittings can 15 for instance be made of a composite material of the same type, and the fittings can either be moulded of thermoset or made of thermoplast. The fittings fit tightly in the l-profiles in the manner described in claim 1. The joining can be performed as a glue joining, and in order to improve the glue joining the fittings can be provided with tear-off tape ensuring that the 20 glued surfaces are kept clean. Then the joint can be further reinforced by means of the screws 39 and nuts 40 shown. As an alternative, the fittings can be provided with a glue sheet in such a manner that after the tearing off of the sheet the fittings comprise an uncovered glue surface on the bodies and flanges facing the l-beams. For the drilling of holes for the 25 screws 39, this embodiment as well as all the other shown and described embodiments can be provided with drilling instructions in form of small recesses in the composite material of the fittings at the locations where said holes are to be manufactured.

This fitting serves to join the two W O96/31667 PCT~DK96/00163 illustrated l-beams 61 and 62. On the opposite side of the joint of Fig. 9d it is, of course, possible to attach a second fitting following the body and the flanges of the l-beams in a corresponding manner.
Figs. 1 0a and 1 0b illustrate the joining of two l-beams 71 and 72 by 5 means of a fitting 70 in such a manner that here the beams form an angle of 135~, but in a plane perpendicular to the joining plane of Fig. 9d. The illustrated fitting 70 is preferably manufactured by way of moulding of thermoset. Here too a corresponding fitting is provided on the opposite side of the joint of the l-beams 71, 72.
10 Figs. 10c and 10d illustrate the joining of two T-beams 81 and 82 by means of a fitting 80 essentially corresponding to half the fitting 70 of Figs. 10a and 10b. This fitting is also preferably moulded of thermoset.

Fig. 14 illustrates a 90~ joint between a through l-profile 141 and an adjacent l-profile 142. This joint is provided by means of a particularly 10 moulded fitting 140 preferably moulded of thermoset. This fitting 140 comprises a base member 143 and two U-shaped profile members 144 and 145 interspaced a distance corresponding to the body of the vertical l-profile 142. This fitting is attached to the l-profiles in such a manner that initially the fitting is pushed downwards over the vertical l-profile 143 15 whereafter the horizontal through l-profile 141 is placed on the base mem-ber 143 which in turn is then attached to the horizontal through l-profile 141 by means of bolt connections optionally not until the joining has been performed in advance by means of gluing.
