Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an angle joint for the joining of at most six bars extending under a mutual angle of 90° or 180°, comprising a basic body located on the intersection of the axes of the bars to be connected and protrusions extending in the directions of each of said bars to be connected.
  • Such an angle joint is known from FR-A-1514258.
  • angle joints are known, in which for at least two bars to be connected, protrusions have been provided.
  • an aperture has been provided in the basic body.
  • the construction of the protrusion is such, that only when a bar extending through the basic body is present, these protrusions can be moved towards the position, in which the bars, in which these protrusions are, are fixed.
  • the aim of the invention is to provide an angle joint, which for all eight theoretical possibilities, i.e. for the connection of two bars extending on the mutual angle of 90° or 180°, comprising a basic body located on the intersection of the axes of the bars to be connected and protrusions extending in the directions of at least some of said bars, can be provided with the stock keeping of only three different parts.
  • the angle joint is composable of at least two elements of a set comprising first elements, second elements and third elements, and the first elements and the second elements each comprise a part of said basic body and at least one protrusion and that the third elements each comprise one protrusion.
  • the present invention provides three different types of elements: first elements a, second elements c and third elements b, with which elements all angle joints shown in figure 2A-2I can be composed.
  • FIG 3 a first element d has been depicted.
  • This element d comprises a box-shaped part 3, and a longitudinal part 4, solidly connected therewith.
  • a clamping piece 6 has been connected with the part 4.
  • the box-shaped part 3 comprises four side faces 7 which have been connected with an upper face 8.
  • a square aperture 9 has been provided, which is delimited by a lower face 10 and side faces 11.
  • the edges between the side faces 7 mutually and between the side faces 7 and the upper face 8 comprise bevels.
  • a through aperture has been provided in the lower face 10.
  • the longitudinal part 4 is being composed of an upper face 14, side faces 15 and a rearface 16. Against the lower part of the upper face 14 a guid shaft 17 has been provided.
  • the clamping piece 6 comprises again an upper face 18, two side faces 19 and a rearface not being visible in the drawing.
  • the hinged connection 5 is between both two rearfaces.
  • a nut berth 20 has been provided of which the inner faces are hexagonal.
  • a stud 21 can be provided, unto which a nut 22 has been screwed.
  • the nut 22 will enter the inner parts of the nut berth 20.
  • the upper face 18 comprises an aperture 23 through which a screw driver can be inserted for connection with a slit 24 provided in the stud 21.
  • FIG 4 shows how the slit 24 of the stud 21 can be reached through the aperture 23. Further figure 4 shows how a bolt 25 can be inserted in the hole 13, so that the first element can be connected with another element. Figure 4 also shows that the lower edge of the side faces 7 comprise both fixation cams 26 and fixation apertures 27. With the help of these fixation means the position of the first element is fixed relative to the element, with which the first element is connected by means of the bolt connection 25.
  • the second element c shown in figure 5 is equal to the first element, but it deviates in the fact that the second element comprises a second protrusion, which is also composed by a longitudinal part 4 and a clamping piece 6. Also in this case the clamping pieces 6 have been connected by means of hinges 5 with the relevant longitudinal part 4. Further the remark is made that both longitudinal parts 4 have been fixed against adjacent sides 7 of the box shaped part 4, so that both protrusions composed by the longitudinal part 4 and the clamping piece 6 extend under an angle of 90°.
  • Figure 6 shows a perspective view of a third element b.
  • This third element is equal to the first element shown in figures 3 and 4, but deviates in the fact that the box shaped part 3 has been replaced by a block 28, of which the external size is equal to the internal size of the aperture 9. Further the block 28 comprises a hole 29, which has been provided with a thread, in which the thread of the bold 25 fits. Further the longitudinal part and the clamping piece are equal to the longitudinal part 4 and the clamping piece 6, as has been described with the first element with the help of figures 3 and 4.
  • FIG 8 shows how a combination of two first elements and of one third element is fit for the composition of an angle joint which is suitable for the connection of three bars extending within one plane, under a mutual angle of 90°.
  • Said angle joint is being composed by two first elements 2, in which in the aperture of one of said first elements a third element has been located, and in which all elements have been connected to each other by a bolt 25.
  • said bolt connection comprises a nut.
  • the slits are shaped such that plates extending perpendicular on the slits can be fitted therein. These plates can be composed by mirrors, glass plates, perspex plates, plastic plates, and so on. Further as a consequence of the angle joint according to the present invention it is thus possible to make rectangular structures for displays and stands on trade fairs with the help of only three different elements, profiles and plates. Further suspensions elements, etc. can be provided in the T-shaped slits with the help of a nut and bolt connection.
  • the profiles have been provided with slits 33 on their corners.
  • These slits are substantially circular, so that a thin, plate, provided of a leveled edge on its sides, and which has been made of flexable material, can be provided into the slits, as has been shown in figure 9.
  • the protrusions comprise apertures extending longitudinally
  • the protrusions can be fitted over the bars to be connected, so that also solid bars can be connected with the angle joint according to the present invention.
  • FIG 2A-2I all configurations depicted in figure 2A-2I can be composed by means of said three described elements.
  • the configuration depicted in figure 2A has been developed by two first elements, which is also the case in the configuration depicted in figure 2B.
  • the configuration depicted in figure 2C comprises two first elements and one third element, just as the configuration depicted in figure 2D.
  • the configuration depicted in figure 2E comprises a combination of a first and a second element.
  • the remark is made that the configurations depicted in figure 2D and figure 2E are equal.
  • the configuration depicted in figure 2F comprises a combination of a first element, a second element and a third element and the combination depicted in figure 2G comprises a combination of two second elements.
  • the configuration depicted in figure 2H is composed by two second elements and one third element.
  • a joint comprising six protrusions.
  • two second elements and two third elements are used.
  • the aperture 29 is being cleared away, so that the thread is being removed. All elements are connected by a bolt, in which the bolt has been screwed into the thread of said other third element.
