Abstract

Straight connector (1) having a flat elongate body whose cross-section is matched to the cross-section (17, 18) of the hollow space of the two spacer profiles (4, 5) to be connected to one another linearly and which consists of two parts, of which the one part can be inserted into the one spacer profile (4) and the other part into the other spacer profile (5), and whose surfaces are provided with at least two spring elements (6, 7) which can be brought into frictional contact with the inner walls of the spacer profiles. During insertion of the straight connector into the hollow space (17, 18) of the respective spacer profile (4, 5), the spring elements (6, 7) are on the one hand pressed elastically into the surface of the straight connector by the front ends (15, 16) of said spacer profiles and on the other hand serve with their front ends as insertion stop for that spacer profile (4, 5) which butts against the tongue of the relevant spring element (6, 7) which rises above the surface. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Geradverbinder für hohle Ab­standsprofile eines Mehrscheibenisolierglases, mit einem flachen, länglichen Körper, dessen Querschnitt an den Hohlraumquerschnitt der beiden miteinander geradlinig zu verbindenden Abstandsprofile angepaßt ist, und der aus zwei Teilen besteht, von denen der eine Teil in das eine Abstandsprofil und der andere Teil in das andere Abstands­profil einsteckbar sind und dessen Oberflächen mit wenig­stens zwei Federkörpern versehen sind, welche mit den In­nenwänden der Abstandsprofile in Reibungsberührung bring­bar sind.The invention relates to a straight connector for hollow spacing profiles of a multi-pane insulating glass, with a flat, elongated body, the cross section of which is adapted to the cavity cross section of the two spacing profiles to be connected in a straight line, and which consists of two parts, one of which is part of a spacing profile and the other part can be inserted into the other spacer profile and the surfaces of which are provided with at least two spring bodies which can be brought into frictional contact with the inner walls of the spacer profiles.

Bei einem bekannten Geradverbinder der genannten Art (DE-OS 28 09 822) werden als Federkörper bogenförmige, nach außen gewölbte Materialstreifen verwendet, die sich in Längsrichtung des Körpers des Geradverbinders erstrek­ken und an ihren beiden Enden mit den Seiten des Körpers untrennbar verbunden sind. Damit das Einschieben des Ge­radverbinders in den Profilhohlraum nur etwa bis zur hal­ ben Länge des Körpers stattfinden kann, also nur der eine Teil in jeweils das eine Abstandsprofil einschiebbar ist, während dann der andere Teil des Körpers für das andere Abstandsprofil zur Verfügung steht, ist auf dem Körper ein Anschlag angebracht, der sich in der Mitte der Kör­perlänge befindet und als eine sich rund um seinen Umfang erstreckende Rippe ausgebildet ist, die mit den sich ge­genüberliegenden Stirnseiten der Abstandsprofile in Berüh­rung bringbar ist. Diese Rippe kann bei der bekannten Kon­struktion auch ein quaderförmiger Mittelkörper sein, der gleichzeitig als Anschlag und Abstandshalter für die Stirnseiten der beiden durch den Geradverbinder zu verbin­denden Abstandsprofile dient.In a known straight connector of the type mentioned (DE-OS 28 09 822) arc-shaped, outwardly curved strips of material are used as the spring body, which extend in the longitudinal direction of the body of the straight connector and are inseparably connected at both ends to the sides of the body. The insertion of the straight connector into the profile cavity is only about halfway ben length of the body can take place, i.e. only one part can be inserted into one of the distance profiles, while the other part of the body is available for the other distance profile, a stop is attached to the body, which is in the middle of the body length is located and is formed as a rib extending around its circumference, which can be brought into contact with the opposite end faces of the spacer profiles. In the known construction, this rib can also be a cuboid center body, which at the same time serves as a stop and a spacer for the end faces of the two spacer profiles to be connected by the straight connector.

Nachteilig bei dieser Konstruktion ist, daß die seitlich bzw. auf der Oberfläche des Geradverbinders vorzusehenden Federkörper und die Anschlagrippe oder der als Anschlag dienende Mittelkörper einen erheblichen Werkzeugkosten­einsatz und auch fertigungstechnischen Einsatz erfordern, da sie den Aufbau des Geradverbinders komplizieren.A disadvantage of this construction is that the spring body to be provided on the side or on the surface of the straight connector and the stop rib or the middle body serving as a stop require a considerable use of tool costs and also use in production technology, since they complicate the construction of the straight connector.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht deshalb darin, den Ge­radverbinder der genannten Art zu vereinfachen. Dies ge­schieht neuerungsgemäß dadurch, daß die beiden Federkör­per als Anschlagfedern ausgebildet sind und aus der Ober­fläche herausragende Zungen bilden,die an ihren hinteren, in Richtung auf die entgegengesetzten Enden des Geradver­binders weisenden Endabschnitten in die Oberfläche glatt übergehen und mit ihren vorderen, zur Mitte des Geradver­binders weisenden Endabschnitten sich über die Oberfläche in einem Ausmaß erheben, das etwa der Wanddicke der Ab­standsprofile zumindest an deren vorderen, einander zuge­kehrten stirnseitigen Enden entspricht, und daß die Fe­derkörper beim Einschieben des Geradverbinders in den Hohlraum des jeweiligen Abstandsprofils von den vorderen Enden dieser Abstandsprofile einerseits in die Oberfläche des Geradverbinders elastisch hineindrückbar sind und an­dererseits mit ihren vorderen Enden als Einschubanschlag für dasjenige Abstandsprofil dienen, das gegen die sich über die Oberfläche erhebende Zunge des betreffenden Fe­derkörpers stößt.The object of the invention is therefore to simplify the straight connector of the type mentioned. According to the innovation, this is done in that the two spring bodies are designed as stop springs and form tongues which protrude from the surface and which at their rear end sections pointing towards the opposite ends of the straight connector merge smoothly into the surface and with their front ends towards the center of the straight connector Pointing end sections rise above the surface to an extent that corresponds approximately to the wall thickness of the spacer profiles at least at their front, mutually facing front ends, and that the spring body when inserting the straight connector into the cavity of the respective spacer profile from the front ends of these spacer profiles on the one hand in the surface of the straight connector can be pushed in elastically and, on the other hand, serve with their front ends as an insertion stop for the spacing profile which abuts the tongue of the spring body in question, which tongue rises above the surface.

Diese Konstruktion kombiniert das Federsystem des Gerad­verbinders mit dem Anschlagsystem, da jede der wenigstens zwei Federn gleichzeitig als Anschlag dient, indem sie verhindert, daß der Geradverbinder beim Einschieben in den Hohlraum des jeweiligen Abstandsprofils zu weit ein­geschoben wird bzw. dadurch, daß sie mit dem einen Ende aus der Oberfläche des Geradverbinders herausragt, ermög­licht, daß das gegen sie vorrückende Abstandsprofil mit seinem stirnseitigen Ende an ihr anschlägt.This construction combines the spring system of the straight connector with the stop system, since each of the at least two springs serves as a stop at the same time, by preventing the straight connector from being inserted too far when inserted into the cavity of the respective spacing profile or by being in contact with one End protrudes from the surface of the straight connector, makes it possible that the spacing profile advancing against it strikes against it with its front end.

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Neuerung sind in den Un­teransprüchen gekennzeichnet.Advantageous refinements of the innovation are characterized in the subclaims.

Die Erfindung wird anhand des in der Zeichnung dargestell­ten Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert. In der Zeich­nung zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 eine längsgeschnittene Seitenansicht des neuerungs­gemäßen Geradverbinders,
  • Fig. 2 eine Draufsicht des Geradverbinders von Fig. 1, und
  • Fig. 3 eine längsgeschnittene Seitenansicht ähnlich der von Fig. 1, wobei beidseitig ein Teil der Abstands­profile ebenfalls längsgeschnitten, im auf den Ge­radverbinder vollständig bzw. teilweise aufgescho­benen Zustand dargestellt ist.
The invention is explained in more detail with reference to the embodiment shown in the drawing. The drawing shows:
  • 1 is a longitudinal sectional side view of the straight connector according to the innovation,
  • Fig. 2 is a plan view of the straight connector of Fig. 1, and
  • Fig. 3 is a longitudinally sectioned side view similar to that of Fig. 1, wherein on both sides a portion of the spacer profiles is also longitudinally sectioned, shown fully or partially pushed onto the straight connector.

Der in Fig. 1 dargestellte Geradverbinder 1 besteht aus einem bekannten Kunststoffmaterial und weist einen recht­ eckigen Querschnitt auf, der im übrigen an das Hohlraum­profil der miteinander zu verbindenden Abstandprofile 4, 5 angepaßt ist, die in Fig. 3 teilweise dargestellt sind und durch den Geradverbinder miteinander verbunden wer­den sollen.The straight connector 1 shown in Fig. 1 consists of a known plastic material and has a right angular cross-section, which is otherwise adapted to the cavity profile of the spacer profiles 4, 5 to be connected to one another, which are partially shown in FIG. 3 and are to be connected to one another by the straight connector.

Der Geradverbinder besteht aus zwei Teilen 2, 3, von de­nen der eine Teil 2 in das eine Abstandsprofil 4 und der andere Teil 3 in das andere Abstandsprofil 5 einsteckbar sind. Die Oberfläche 8 des Geradverbinders, die bei der dargestellten Ausführungsform seiner Oberseite entspricht, weist zwei Federkörper 6, 7 auf, die als Anschlagfedern ausgebildet sind und aus der Oberfläche 8 herausragende Zungen bilden, welche an ihren hinteren, in Richtung auf die entgegengesetzten Enden 11, 12 des Geradverbinders weisenden Endabschnitten 9, 10 in die Oberfläche 8 glatt übergehen und mit ihren vorderen, zur Mitte des Geradver­binders weisenden Endabschnitten 13, 14 sich über die Oberfläche 8 erheben. Letzteres geschieht in einem Ausmaß, das etwa der Wanddicke der Abstandsprofile 4, 5 zumindest an deren vorderen, einander zugekehrten stirnseitigen En­den 15, 16 entspricht.The straight connector consists of two parts 2, 3, one part 2 of which can be inserted into one spacer profile 4 and the other part 3 into the other spacer profile 5. The surface 8 of the straight connector, which corresponds to its upper side in the embodiment shown, has two spring bodies 6, 7 which are designed as stop springs and form protruding tongues from the surface 8, which at their rear ends, in the direction of the opposite ends 11, 12 of the straight end sections 9, 10 merge smoothly into the surface 8 and with their front end sections 13, 14 pointing towards the center of the straight connector rise above the surface 8. The latter occurs to an extent that corresponds approximately to the wall thickness of the spacer profiles 4, 5 at least at their front, mutually facing front ends 15, 16.

Die Federkörper 6, 7 werden, wie aus der Darstellung von Fig. 3 hervorgeht, beim Einschieben des Geradverbinders in den Hohlraum 17, 18 des jeweiligen Abstandsprofils 4, 5 von den vorderen Enden 15, 16 dieser Abstandsprofile einer­seits in die Oberfläche des Geradverbinders 8 elastisch hineingedrückt und dienen andererseits mit ihren vorderen Enden 13, 14 als Einschubanschlag für dasjenige Abstands­profil 4, 5, das gegen die sich über die Oberfläche 8 er­hebende Zunge des betreffenden Federkörpers 6, 7 stößt.3, when the straight connector is inserted into the cavity 17, 18 of the respective spacer profile 4, 5 from the front ends 15, 16 of these spacer profiles, on the one hand, they become elastic in the surface of the straight connector 8 pressed in and, on the other hand, serve with their front ends 13, 14 as an insertion stop for the spacer profile 4, 5 which abuts against the tongue 8 of the spring body 6, 7 rising above the surface 8.

Auf diese Weise erfüllen die Federkörper 6, 7 eine doppel­te Funktion, nämlich einmal diejenige eines Arretierungs­körpers, indem sie mit den Innenwänden der Abstandsprofi­ le 4, 5 in Reibungsberührung treten, wie dies in der Dar­stellung von Fig. 3 rechts zu sehen ist, und zum anderen mit ihren vorderen Endabschnitten 13, 14 einen Anschlag für die vorderen Enden 15, 16 der Abstandsprofile bilden, gegen den diese Enden stoßen, wenn die Abstandsprofile auf den Geradverbinder aufgeschoben bzw. dieser in deren Hohlraum 17, 18 eingeschoben wird. Diese Anschlagfunktion ist ebenfalls aus Fig. 3 für das rechte Abstandsprofil 4 ersichtlich.In this way, the spring bodies 6, 7 fulfill a double function, namely that of a locking body, in that they act with the inner walls of the spacer le 4, 5 come into frictional contact, as can be seen in the illustration of FIG. 3 on the right, and on the other hand with their front end sections 13, 14 form a stop for the front ends 15, 16 of the spacer profiles against which these ends abut when the spacer profiles are pushed onto the straight connector or this is inserted into the cavity 17, 18 thereof. This stop function is also shown in FIG. 3 for the right spacing profile 4.

Die Federkörper 6, 7 sind gleich lang und breit und von den entgegengesetzten Enden 11, 12 des Geradverbinders 1 gleich weit entfernt. Ihre vorderen Enden 13, 14, die ein­ander zugewandt sind, wie aus den Fig. 1 und 2 ersicht­lich, weisen einen Abstand von nur etwa 1 mm auf.The spring bodies 6, 7 are of the same length and width and the same distance from the opposite ends 11, 12 of the straight connector 1. Their front ends 13, 14, which face each other, as can be seen from FIGS. 1 and 2, have a distance of only about 1 mm.

Unterhalb der Federkörper 6, 7 befindet sich in der Ober­fläche 8 eine Vertiefung 19, die zur Aufnahme der Feder­körper im aufgeschobenen Zustand der Abstandsprofile 4, 5 dient. Dieser Zustand ist in Fig. 3 beim aufgeschobenen Abstandsprofil 4 verwirklicht, da hier der Federkörper 6 in den Hohlraum 19 hineingedrückt ist und damit sich paral­lel zur Oberfläche 8 erstreckt. Auf diese Weise dient, be­zogen auf die Zeichnungsfiguren, der linke Federkörper 7 als Anschlag für das rechte Abstandsprofil 4 und verhin­dert damit, daß der Geradverbinder zu weit in den Hohlraum 17 dieses Abstandsprofiles hineingeschoben wird, während der rechte Federkörper 6 als Anschlag für das linke Ab­standsprofil 5 dient, also verhindert, daß der Geradver­binder zu weit in den Hohlraum 18 dieses Profils einge­schoben wird. Natürlich tritt diese Abstandsfunktion nur jeweils einseitig auf, weil - wenn man einmal von der in Fig. 3 dargestellten Situation ausgeht - das von links auf den Geradverbinder 1 aufzuschiebende Abstandsprofil 5 nicht mehr gegen den Federkörper 6 stoßen kann, weil die­ser bereits in die Oberfläche 8 bzw. den Hohlraum 19 die­ ser Oberfläche vom rechtsseitigen Abstandsprofil 4 hinein­gedrückt ist. Hier dient dann das vordere Ende 15 des Ab­standsprofils 4 selbst als Anschlag für das aufzuschieben­de linke Abstandsprofil 5.Below the spring bodies 6, 7 there is a recess 19 in the surface 8, which serves to receive the spring bodies in the pushed-on state of the spacer profiles 4, 5. This state is realized in FIG. 3 with the spacer profile 4 pushed on, since here the spring body 6 is pressed into the cavity 19 and thus extends parallel to the surface 8. In this way, based on the drawing figures, the left spring body 7 serves as a stop for the right distance profile 4 and thus prevents the straight connector from being pushed too far into the cavity 17 of this distance profile, while the right spring body 6 serves as a stop for the left distance profile 5 serves, so prevents that the straight connector is inserted too far into the cavity 18 of this profile. Of course, this spacing function only occurs on one side because - if one starts from the situation shown in FIG. 3 - the spacing profile 5 to be pushed onto the straight connector 1 from the left can no longer abut the spring body 6, because this is already in the surface 8 or the cavity 19 the water surface from the right-hand spacer profile 4 is pressed. Here the front end 15 of the spacer profile 4 itself then serves as a stop for the left spacer profile 5 to be pushed on.

Es versteht sich, daß anstelle von nur zwei Federkörpern 6, 7 mehrere derartige Körper auf der Oberfläche des Geradver­binders angeordnet sein können, obgleich dies in der Zeich­nung nicht dargestellt ist. So können beispielsweise bei einem Geradverbinder mit rechteckigem Querschnitt auf al­len vier Seiten dieses Rechteckes Federkörper der beschrie­benen Art sitzen, deren Breite dann den Abmessungen der Rechteckseiten angepaßt wäre.It goes without saying that instead of only two spring bodies 6, 7, a plurality of such bodies can be arranged on the surface of the straight connector, although this is not shown in the drawing. For example, in the case of a straight connector with a rectangular cross section, spring bodies of the type described can sit on all four sides of this rectangle, the width of which would then be adapted to the dimensions of the rectangular sides.
