Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Verbindung von flächenartigen Teilen, insbesondere von Türfüllungen und/oder Glasscheiben, gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Auspruchs 1.The invention relates to a connection of sheet-like parts, in particular door panels and / or glass panes, according to the preamble of claim 1.

Aus der FR-A 2 303 906 ist eine Vorrichtung zum Verbinden zweier flächenartiger Bauteile mit einander gegenüberliegenden Profilleisten, die auf den zueinanderweisenden Seiten mit einer längsverlaufenden, hinterschnittenen Nut versehen sind. Die Verbindung dieser Profilleisten erfolgt über zwei durch einen Gewindestift verbundene, axial fluchtende Bolzenteile, deren jeweils als Hammerkopf oder als Hammerkopf bzw. Gabelteil ausgebildete Enden in den Nuten verankert sind. Der Hammerkopf wird in die Nut eingeführt und durch Drehen mit einem Schraubenschlüssel, z.B. um 1/4 Umdrehung, des z.B. sechseckig ausgebildeten, mit dem Hammerkopf versehenen Bolzenteil in der Nut der Profilleiste verklemmt. Der Hammerkopf ist mit angeschrägten Einlaufflächen versehen, um das Drehen in der Nut zu erleichtern.From FR-A 2 303 906 is a device for connecting two surface-like components with opposing profile strips, which are provided on the mutually facing sides with a longitudinal, undercut groove. These profile strips are connected via two axially aligned bolt parts connected by a threaded pin, the ends of which are designed as hammer heads or hammer heads or fork parts and are anchored in the grooves. The hammer head is inserted into the groove and turned by turning it with a wrench, e.g. 1/4 turn, e.g. hexagonal bolt part with the hammer head jammed in the groove of the profile strip. The hammer head is provided with beveled infeed surfaces to facilitate turning in the groove.

Bei dieser bekannten Ausführung erfolgt die Verbindung ausschließlich durch den in die hinterschnittenen Nuten einführbaren zweiteiligen Bolzen. Dadurch ist aber noch nicht gewährleistet, daß der erforderliche vorgegebene Abstand zwischen den zu verbindenden flächenartigen Teilen exakt einhaltbar ist. Hierfür sind besondere Maßnahmen erforderlich, die zusätzlichen Zeitaufwand erfordern.In this known embodiment, the connection is made exclusively by the two-part bolt which can be inserted into the undercut grooves. However, this does not guarantee that the required predetermined distance between the sheet-like parts to be connected can be exactly maintained. This requires special measures that require additional time.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Verbindung der aufgezeigten Gattung so auszubilden, daß ohne zusätzliche Maßnahme schnell und exakt eine Verbindung herstellbar ist, die sich schnell und einfach wieder lösen läßt.The invention has for its object to provide a connection of the type shown so that a connection can be made quickly and accurately without additional measure, which can be quickly and easily released again.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die im kennzeichnenden Teil des Anspruchs 1 genannten Merkmale gelöst. Zweckmäßigerweise ist die mittige Aussparung konkav gewölbt. Das Arretierungselement kann gegenüber der Profilleiste aus einem härteren Material gebildet sein. Vorteilhafterweise ist der Kopf des Arretierungselements ein- oder beidseitig konisch verlaufend ausgebildet. Es besteht die Möglichkeit, das Arretierungselement mit einer oder mehreren im Abstand zueinander angeordneten Bohrungen zu versehen. Besonders günstig ist die Herstellung der Teile aus Chemiewerkstoff im Spritzgießverfahren.This object is achieved by the features mentioned in the characterizing part of claim 1. The central recess is expediently curved concavely. The locking element can be made of a harder material than the profile strip. Advantageously, the head of the locking element is conical on one or both sides. It is possible to provide the locking element with one or more holes spaced apart from one another. The manufacture of the parts from chemical material by injection molding is particularly favorable.

Die erfindungsgemäß ausgebildete Vorrichtung ermöglicht es, mit einer Drehung, zweckmäßigerweise einer Vierteldrehung, der Arretierungselemente schnell und exakt eine Verbindung herzustellen, die problemlos ebensoschnell wieder gelöst werden kann. Dabei ist keine Beshhädigung der Profilleisten zu befürchten.The device designed according to the invention makes it possible, with a rotation, expediently a quarter turn, of the locking elements to produce a connection quickly and exactly, which can be released again just as quickly without any problems. There is no risk of damage to the profile strips.

a section along line A - A of Fig. 2nd

Gemäß Fig. 1 sind eine Türfüllung 9 und eine Glasisolierscheibe 10 über zwei Profilleisten 1 unter Verwendung eines Distanz- und Verbindungselements 3 miteinander verbunden. Hierzu ist im Distanz- und Verbindungselement 3 beidseits je ein drehbares Arretierungselement 4 gelagert, das mit einem Kopf 5 in eine Hintergreifungsnut 2 der zugeordneten Profilleiste 1 festgelegt ist.1, a door panel 9 and a glass insulating pane 10 are connected to one another via two profiled strips 1 using a spacer and connecting element 3. For this purpose, a rotatable locking element 4 is mounted on both sides in the spacer and connecting element 3, which is fixed with a head 5 in an engagement groove 2 of the associated profile strip 1.

Der Kopf 5 des Arretierungselements 4 besitzt rechteckige Form, wobei die Schmalseite kleiner und die längere Seite größer ist als die Öffnungsbreite der Hintergreifungsnut 2. Hierdurch läßt sich der Kopf 5 bequem in die Hintergreifungsnut 2 einführen. Durch eine kurze Drehung des Arretierungselements 4, zweckmäßigerweise durch eine Vierteldrehung, verriegelt sich der Kopf 5 in der Hintergreifungsnut 2, wodurch ein fester Preßsitz erreicht ist. Zur Erleichterung dieser Verriegelung kann der Kopf 5 mit konisch verlaufenden Anlageflächen versehen sein. Das dargestellte Distanz- Verbindungselement 3 ist nach Fig. 2 und 3 durch ein scheibenförmiges Element gebildet.The head 5 of the locking element 4 has a rectangular shape, the narrow side being smaller and the longer side being larger than the opening width of the engagement groove 2. This allows the head 5 to be inserted comfortably into the engagement groove 2. By a brief rotation of the locking element 4, expediently by a quarter turn, the head 5 locks in the engagement groove 2, whereby a firm press fit is achieved. To facilitate this locking, the head 5 be provided with conical contact surfaces. The distance connecting element 3 shown is formed by a disc-shaped element according to FIGS. 2 and 3.

Um den Kopf 5 des Arretierungselements 4 in der Hintergreifungsnut 2 der Profilleiste 1 verriegeln zu können, d. h., um die Drehung des in der Hintergreifungsnut 2 lagernden Kopfes 5 zu ermöglichen, ist am Arretierungselement 4 eine Sechskantausbildung 7 angeformt oder angebracht, an die ein Drehschlüssel ansetzbar ist. Um den Drehschlüssel an die Sechskantausbildung 7 ansetzen zu können, besitzt das Distanz- und Verbindungselement 3 eine mittige Aussparung 6, die im Ausführungsbeispiel konkav gewölbt verläuft. Das Distanz- und Verbindungselement 3 ist an zwei Seiten ein- oder beidseitig so angefast, daß das verbleibende Futter 11 in die Einführungsöffnung der Hintergreifungsnut 2 einführbar ist. In zusätzlichen Aussparungen 12 der Profilleiste 1 sind Glasdichtungsprofile 8 eingesetzt.In order to be able to lock the head 5 of the locking element 4 in the engagement groove 2 of the profile strip 1, d. that is, in order to enable the rotation of the head 5 mounted in the engagement groove 2, a hexagonal formation 7 is formed or attached to the locking element 4, to which a rotary key can be attached. In order to be able to attach the rotary key to the hexagon formation 7, the spacing and connecting element 3 has a central recess 6 which, in the exemplary embodiment, has a concave arch. The spacer and connecting element 3 is chamfered on one side or on both sides so that the remaining chuck 11 can be inserted into the insertion opening of the engagement groove 2. Glass sealing profiles 8 are inserted in additional cutouts 12 in the profile strip 1.

Anstelle der Sechskantausbildung 7 oder zusätzlich zur Sechskantausbildung 7 kann das Arretierungselement 4 mit einer oder mehreren Bohrungen versehen sein, in die zur Ausführung der für die Verriegelung des Kopfes 5 in der Hintergreifungsnut 2 erforderlichen Drehung ein Stift einführbar ist.Instead of the hexagon formation 7 or in addition to the hexagon formation 7, the locking element 4 can be provided with one or more bores into which a pin can be inserted in order to carry out the rotation required for locking the head 5 in the engagement groove 2.
