Abstract

The angle element (1) has an angle (2) between a first connection (3) and a second connection (4). The angle is smaller than 90deg and that the first connection is so formed in the connecting range (6) of a gutter (5) being a receptacle and is formed with the second connection in the connecting range of the gutter. The first connection is connected with the connecting range of a gutter or with the second connection (4') of a further angle element (1').

Description

The The invention relates to an angle element for gutters with a bending angle between a first port and a second port, wherein the bending angle is substantially less than 90 °.

to Production of angles in gutters are usually in the trade only 90 ° angle available. Gutter angle with other bending angles, such as 60 °, 45 ° or any other angles are, however, usually made as individual pieces, as the series production many gutter angles with different bending angles uneconomical is. However, the custom-made is also complicated and expensive.

Of the The present invention is therefore based on the object gutter angle To provide with any bending angles available that can be produced inexpensively are to increase without the product variety.

This succeeds with an angle element of the type described above with the features of the characterizing part of claim 1. Further advantageous embodiments are in the subclaims described.

It was for the expert very much amazing and not to be expected that with the angle element according to the invention Any bending angle at gutter angles can be realized. According to the invention, the angle element knows a kink angle between a first port and a second port which is substantially smaller than 90 °. The first connection points about that addition, such a shape that therein the connecting portion of a Gutter is receivable while the second port itself as the connecting area of a gutter is shaped.

Of the first terminal is preferably connected to the connection area of a Gutter connectable, so that the angle element according to the invention on the first connection can be connected to a gutter.

Also Preferably, the first connection is also with another angle element according to the invention connectable. The second connection of the further angle element according to the invention is shaped like the connecting area of a gutter and is with connectable to the first terminal of the angle element according to the invention.

Farther Preferably, the second connection is by means of a gutter connector connectable to a gutter. A gutter connector is a device for connecting the connection areas of two Gutters. Such a gutter connector is therefore also suitable, the connection region of a gutter with the second Connection of the angle element according to the invention connect to.

The Angular element according to the invention is advantageously suitable, within certain limits, i. With small gradations to produce any bending angle by arbitrary many of the angle elements are interconnected.

So for example, all bending angles can be produced, many times correspond to the bending angle of an angle element.

The each outer angle elements are easily connectable with gutters. On one side is one direct connection to the connection area of a gutter possible, on the second side is the connection by means of a gutter connector.

Of the One skilled in the art understands that the achievable articulation angles are multiples of the Knickwinkels an angle element are. The bending angle of an angle element is according to the invention in the field below 90 ° free selectable. Preferred is the bending angle between the first port and the second port less than 45 °, to allow in an advantageous manner finer gradations.

Especially is preferred the bending angle of an angle element about 30 ° or about 15 ° or about 10 °. But they are even smaller Crease angle conceivable.

One Another object of the invention is a gutter angle, the composed of one or more of the angle elements according to the invention is.

gutters are with such a gutter angle at any angles connectable.

Prefers the gutter angle consists of angular elements, all the same Have bending angle, for example, about 15 °. For example, it can be advantageous Gutters are manufactured at a bend angle of about 15 °, about 30 °, about 45 °, about 60 °, etc., the based on only a single type of angle element. This can be inexpensive be produced in series.

Also preferably, the gutter angle is composed of angle elements with different bending angles, more preferably of two different groups of angle elements, each group having angle elements with a certain bending angle. For example, the gutter angle partly from angle elements with an angle of approx. 15 ° and partly of angular elements with a bending angle of, for example, about 10 °, so that total angles can be set from about 10 °, about 15 °, about 20 ° and so on in steps of approx 5 °.

Preferably The angle elements that form the gutter angle are fixed interconnected, for example by gluing, welding or Soldering.

following the invention will be explained with reference to figures. The illustration is merely by way of example and not limited to the general idea of the invention.

1 shows an embodiment of an inventive angle element.

2 shows the connection of two gutters with a gutter angle of two angle elements.

3 shows six different gutter angle with different numbers of angle elements according to the invention.

4 shows two application examples.

In the 1 is a single angle element 1 shown. In 2 is the connection of two gutters with a gutter angle represented by two angle elements. The 1 and 2 will be described together below.

The angle element 1 in 1 has a first connection 3 on, which is shaped so that a connection area 6 (see. 2 ) of a gutter 5 is receivable therein. The angle element 1 also has a second port 4 which, in its form, is the connecting area 6 a gutter 5 equivalent.

The person skilled in the art understands that the first connection 3 both with the connection area 6 a gutter 5 is connectable, as well as with a second connection 4 another angle element 1' ,

The second connection 4 is by means of a gutter connector 7 (see. 2 ) also with the connection area 6 a gutter 5 connectable.

The second connection 4 is opposite the first port 3 at a bend angle 2 angled (cf. 1 ).

In 2 is a gutter angle made of an angle element 1 and another angle element 1' shown. The first connection 3 of the angle element 1 is with the connection area 6 a gutter 5 connected. The second connection 4 is with the first connection 3 ' the further angle element 1' connected. The second connection 4 ' the further angle element 1' is by means of a gutter connector 7 with the connection area 6 a second or another gutter 5 ' connected.

By connecting two angle elements 1 to a gutter angle, created between the two sections 5 . 5 ' the gutter an overall bending angle, which is essentially the sum of the bending angle 2 each one of the angle elements 1 . 1' equivalent.

The 3 presents various examples of gutter angles with different numbers of angle elements 1 dar. The bending angle 2 each one of the angle elements 1 is equal to. The entire angle between the sections 5 . 5 ' The gutter is based on the number of angle elements 1 dependent.

In the 4 Two application examples are shown. In the upper part of the 4 is an example of a gutter structure (hexagonal structure 9 ), in the gutter longitudinal pieces 5 or gutters 5 with six gutter angles to a hexagon 9 are connected. In the lower part of the 4 eight gutter angles connect the gutter longitudinal pieces 5 or gutters 5 to an octagon (octagonal structure) 8th , The gutter angles are angular elements in both examples 1 with a bend angle 2 formed by about 15 °. For the hexagon structure 9 each form four angle elements 1 a respective gutter angle of about 60 °. In the octagonal structure 8th are each three angle elements 1 assembled to a respective gutter angle of about 45 °.

The gutter structures shown, for example, in garden pavilions and similar Buildings often for use.

As a material for the gutter 5 or the gutter longitudinal pieces 5 and / or for the angle elements 1 come metals, metal alloys and / or plastics in question, in particular injection-moldable plastics.
