Definitions

  • the invention relates to a straight connector for hollow profiles with the features in the preamble of the main claim.
  • the known connector has two stops in the form of triangular projections at the junction of the attached hollow profiles, which protrude downward from the side webs. When pushed on, they oppose the hollow profiles and dig into the profile material. It is not always possible to achieve a tight profile closure at the connection point.
  • DE-A 3 408 600 shows a similar straight connector, which is also closed at the end and can only be inserted into the hollow profiles after the desiccant has been filled in.
  • DE-U 80 17 644 includes a corner connector which has a slotted cover tongue on the end faces which is intended to grip around the folded edge of a hollow profile which is bent or rolled from sheet metal.
  • the interior of the corner connector is not filled with desiccant.
  • the invention solves this problem with the features in the main claim.
  • the drying agent can now pass through the connector by means of the axially continuous cavity and the open end faces.
  • this has the advantage that the hollow profiles can be filled after assembly. As a result, not only easier handling, but also better distribution and a higher degree of filling of the hollow profiles is achieved.
  • the invention also allows economical use of leftovers, especially short hollow sections. These are put together by connectors and then filled in one go.
  • drying agent can now also accumulate in the area of the connector and become effective in the desired manner at the particularly diffusion-providing connection point of the hollow profiles.
  • the middle, mutually directed retaining lugs serve as a stop for the plugged-on hollow profiles in the straight connector according to the invention. They spring and disappear in the attached hollow profiles and allow a tight profile closure on the Liaison.
  • the central web of the connector lies on the inside of the frame and thus prevents the drying agent from passing out of its hollow space into the insulating glass pane.
  • This also enables the hollow profiles to be filled through the inserted plug connector.
  • the connectors are then locked and guided in the hollow profiles only via retaining lugs. It is particularly advantageous if these are exposed by means of undercuts. This allows the retaining lugs to bend in two directions, so that a lug can act both horizontally and vertically. Overall, this results in better locking and guidance, for which only a small number of noses is required.
  • the retaining lugs can only protrude laterally.
  • the vertical guide is then performed by adjusting the height of the side bars. A particularly good guidance results if the side webs are variable in height and have a wedge shape that increases towards the connection point. Likewise, it is also possible to arrange spring tongues on the central webs.
  • the plug connector according to the invention or the plug connection can also be used for any other types and purposes of hollow profiles if these also have to be filled with granules or the like.
  • the connector according to the invention can consist of metal, plastic or other materials and have a U-shape that is open on one side or a box cross-section that is closed on the side.
  • the cross-sectional shape of the connector depends on the cross-section of the hollow profile, it can also be circular, oval, polygonal or in any other way.
  • FIGS. 1 to 6 show a plug connector (1) which is designed as a straight connector (2).
  • the connector (1) shown is used to connect hollow profiles (11, 12) to a spacer frame (18) for insulating glass panes, which is filled on the inside with a drying agent (15).
  • Fig. 7 shows the spacer frame (18) with straight connector (2).
  • the connector (1) is manufactured in both versions as a stamped part made of sheet steel with a U-shaped cross section. It is adapted in cross-section to the contour of the hollow profile (11, 12) and is guided in a form-fitting manner in the respective hollow profile (11, 12).
  • the straight connector (2) has an axially freely continuous cavity (16) and large through openings on the front. In contrast to known straight connectors, there are no covers on the front. At most, the side webs (7) and the middle web (6) are bent a little inward to create a bevel (25) for easier attachment of the hollow profiles (11, 12).
  • the drying agent (15) can pass through the end openings into the cavity (16) and thus get from the hollow profile (11) to the next hollow profile (12) via the connection point (20). In this way, it is also possible to fill several hollow profiles arranged one behind the other from one side.
  • the drying agent (15) can also collect in the cavity (16) at the connection point (20).
  • the straight connector is preferably inserted into the hollow profiles (11, 12) in such a way that its central web (6) faces the inside of the spacer frame (18). With its trough shape, a U-shaped straight connector (2) also makes it easier to fill with drying agent (15).
  • the straight connector (2) has a pair of spring tongues (8) and (9) on both sides of its center, which are each bent up from the central web (6) and point towards the center.
  • the spring tongue pairs (8, 9) are each arranged symmetrically to the center.
  • the outer spring tongues (8) are wider than the inner spring tongues (9) and have a curved edge.
  • Triangular retaining lugs (10) are punched out and bent out on both sides of the center in the side webs (7) of the straight connector (2).
  • the straight connector (2) thus has a fourfold retention in each hollow profile (11, 12), which makes unintentional removal impossible.
  • the spring tongues (8,9) and the retaining lugs (10) also serve to guide the straight connector (2) in the hollow profiles (11, 12). They can also be adapted to the hollow profile contour for sealing purposes.
  • Fig. 4 - 6 show a variation of the straight connector (2) again.
  • the middle web (6) is here consistently smooth and without spring tongues.
  • the central web (6) lies over the entire surface of the hollow profile wall (19) located on the inside of the spacer frame (18).
  • the height of the side webs (7) is coordinated so that the center web lies tightly against pressure.
  • retaining tabs (10) are provided in the area of the upper edge of the web (24), which preferably runs parallel to the central web (6).
  • the retaining lugs (10) are punched out at the front and on the side by undercuts (23) in the side webs (7) and have the shape of elongated tongues which are axially directed in the direction of attachment.
  • the undercuts (23) are oval and large in the side area of the retaining lugs and create space for a bending tool. 7 and 8 show, the retaining lugs (10) are bent laterally, ie horizontally, and upwards, ie vertically.
  • the retaining lugs (10) guide the straight connector (2) horizontally and vertically in the hollow profile. Due to the opposing position, they also prevent the hollow profiles from being pulled off.
  • the system on the profile side walls can also be secured by four triangular retaining lugs (not shown), each of which is punched out at the upper edge of the web and bent out to the side.
  • the side webs (7) are adapted to the profile height for guidance in the vertical axis of the hollow profile (11, 12).
  • the upper web edges (24) come to rest on the sloping roof surfaces or the shoulder (21) of the hollow profiles (11, 12).
  • the side webs (7) can be wedge-shaped.
  • the height of the top edge of the web (24) rises from the front end of the angle legs (4, 5) to the connection point (20). It is preferably somewhat larger than the guide height of the hollow profile (11, 12). The Side bars (7) thus cut something into the hollow profile (11, 12) to secure the bond.
  • the angled legs (4, 5) have bevels (25) on the central web (6) and the side webs (7) for easier insertion into the hollow profiles (11, 12).
  • the shapes of the retaining lugs (10) and spring tongues (8, 9) shown in the exemplary embodiments can be varied, combined and interchanged.
  • the plug connectors (1, 2, 3) are first inserted into the hollow profiles (11, 12).
  • the drying agent (15) is then introduced, the plug connectors (1, 2, 3) serving as a guide trough.
  • the hollow profiles can be filled before or after bending in a one-piece spacer frame.
