Fig. 4 und 5 eine Darstellung eines Führungseinsatzes zur Führungshülse nach Fig. 2.4 and 5 an illustration of a guide insert for the guide sleeve according to FIG. 2nd
Das Verbindungselement nach Fig. 1 weist einen aus einem flanschförmigen Hülsenkopf 1 und einem Rohrteil 2 bestehen¬ den Hülseneinsatz 3 auf, wobei der Rohrteil 2 mit einem Aussen¬ gewinde 4 zur Befestigung an einem Ende einer Stange eines Raumfachwerkes versehen ist. Durch eine Durchgangsbohrung des Hülseneinsatzes 3 ist ein Bolzen 5 geführt, dessen Kopf 6 sich auf die Stirnwand des Rohrteils 2 stützt.The connecting element according to FIG. 1 has a sleeve insert 3 consisting of a flange-shaped sleeve head 1 and a tubular part 2, the tubular part 2 being provided with an external thread 4 for attachment to one end of a rod of a space framework. Through a through bore of the sleeve insert 3, a bolt 5 is guided, the head 6 of which is supported on the end wall of the tubular part 2.
Der Bolzen 5 weist einen länglichen runden glatten Teil 7 und einen Endteil 8 auf, der mit einem Aussengewinde 9 zur Befestigung des Bolzens an einem Führungseinsatz 10 (Fig. 4) vorgesehen ist.The bolt 5 has an elongated, round, smooth part 7 and an end part 8, which is provided with an external thread 9 for fastening the bolt to a guide insert 10 (FIG. 4).
In Fig. 4 ist eine Seiten- und Schnittansicht quer zur Längs¬ achse des Führungseinsatzes 10 mit einem Gewindeteil 11 dar¬ gestellt, der zum Anschrauben an einem Knotenstück dient. Dabei weist der Führungseinsatz 10 an der einen Seite einen sechskantförmig (Fig. 5) ausgebildeten Teil 12 mit einer Ge¬ windebohrung 13 auf, in die der Gewindebolzen einschraubbar ist. Etwa in der Mitte der Mantelfläche des Führungsteils 12 ist senkrecht ein Gewindeloch 14 vorhanden, durch das ein in Fig. 1 dargestellter Gewindestift 15, beispielsweise ein Innensechskantgewindestift, anschraubbar ist, um im einge¬ bauten Zustand den Führungseinsatz 10 zu führen.4 shows a side and sectional view transversely to the longitudinal axis of the guide insert 10 with a threaded part 11, which is used for screwing onto a knot piece. The guide insert 10 has on one side a hexagonal part (FIG. 5) with a threaded bore 13 into which the threaded bolt can be screwed. Approximately in the middle of the lateral surface of the guide part 12 there is a threaded hole 14 vertically, through which a set screw 15 shown in FIG. 1, for example a hexagon socket set screw, can be screwed in order to guide the guide insert 10 in the installed state.
Der Bolzen 5 ist durch die Durchgangsbohrung einer Führungs¬ vorrichtung oder Führungshülse 16 geführt, aus der der Ge¬ windeteil 11 des Führungseinsatzes 10 ragt. Beim vorderen Teil der Führungshülse 16 ist diese Durchgangsbohrung form¬ schlüssig mit dem Führungsteil 12 ausgebildet, so dass mit möglichst wenig Spiel eine Drehbewegung von der Führungs¬ hülse 16 an den Gewindeteil 11 übertragen werden kann.The bolt 5 is guided through the through bore of a guide device or guide sleeve 16, from which the threaded part 11 of the guide insert 10 protrudes. In the front part of the guide sleeve 16, this through-bore is formed in a form-fitting manner with the guide part 12, so that a rotational movement can be transmitted from the guide sleeve 16 to the threaded part 11 with as little play as possible.
Die Durchgangsbohrung des vorderen Teils der Führungshülse 16 kann daher in üebereinsti mung mit dem geführten Teil des Führungseinsatzes beispielsweise auch polygonal sein. Vorzugsweise sind jedoch diese Querschnitte hexagonal, wie in den Figuren 4 und 5 angegeben. Demgegenüber ist die Führungshülse 16 in ihrem hinteren Bereich nach aussen und nach hinten flanschförmig ausgestaltet, um einen etwa glocken¬ förmigen Flansch 17 zu bilden, in dessen innerem Raum 18 der Hülsenkopf 1 untergebracht werden kann. Zudem weist die Führungshülse 16 in ihrem hinteren Bereich eine radial an¬ geordnete ringförmige Wandung 19 auf, wobei im Innenraum der Führungshülse 16 zwischen der Wandung 19 und dem Führungs¬ einsatz 10 eine Schraubenfeder 20 um den Bolzen 5 angelegt ist, die den Führungseinsatz 10 und dem mit ihm verbundenen Bolzen 5 nach vorne drückt.The through bore of the front part of the guide sleeve 16 can therefore be polygonal, for example, in agreement with the guided part of the guide insert. However, these cross sections are preferably hexagonal, as indicated in FIGS. 4 and 5. In contrast, the guide sleeve 16 in its rear region is designed outward and rearward in the form of a flange in order to form an approximately bell-shaped flange 17, in the inner space 18 of which the sleeve head 1 can be accommodated. In addition, the Guide sleeve 16 in its rear region on a radially arranged annular wall 19, wherein in the interior of the guide sleeve 16 between the wall 19 and the guide insert 10, a coil spring 20 is placed around the bolt 5, which the guide insert 10 and with it connected bolt 5 presses forward.
Der maximale Aussendruchmesser des Flansches 17 ist vorzugs¬ weise gleich dem Aussendurch esser der durch das Verbindungs¬ element zu verbindenden Stange 21, um einen ästhetischen Effekt zu bewirken, und der minimale Innendurchmesser des Flansches 17 im glockenförmigen Raum ist grδsser als die maximale Quergrösse des Hülsenkopfes 1, der vorzugsweise nicht rund ist, um ihn mit einem Schlüssel an die Stange 21 anschrauben zu können. Der Durchmesser der Bohrung der ringförmigen Wandung 19 ist grδsser als der Druchmesser des Bolzens 5 und kleiner als der Durchmesser der Schraubenfeder 20. Die Hülse 16 nach Fig. 1 weist eine Oeffnung 22 auf, durch die der Stift 15 geführt wird.The maximum outside diameter of the flange 17 is preferably equal to the outside diameter of the rod 21 to be connected by the connecting element, in order to bring about an aesthetic effect, and the minimum inside diameter of the flange 17 in the bell-shaped space is larger than the maximum transverse size of the sleeve head 1, which is preferably not round so that it can be screwed onto the rod 21 with a key. The diameter of the bore of the annular wall 19 is larger than the diameter of the bolt 5 and smaller than the diameter of the coil spring 20. The sleeve 16 according to FIG. 1 has an opening 22 through which the pin 15 is guided.
Die Arbeitsweise des Elementes nach Fig. 1 ist aus der EP-PS 297 033 bekannt mit dem Unterschied, dass nach der vor¬ liegenden Erfindung die Führungshülse 16 im hinteren Teil anders ausgebildet ist. Die flanschfδrmige Ausgestaltung bingt den Vorteil mit sich, dass der üebergang zwischen dem Ende der Stange 21 und der Hülse 16 harmonisch realisiert werden kann, und zwar in verschiedenen Varianten, da bei¬ spielsweise aussenseitig der vordere Teil der Führungshülse 16 sechskantig und der Flansch 17 rund sein kann.The operation of the element according to FIG. 1 is known from EP-PS 297 033 with the difference that according to the present invention the guide sleeve 16 is designed differently in the rear part. The flange-shaped design has the advantage that the transition between the end of the rod 21 and the sleeve 16 is realized harmoniously can be, in different variants, since for example on the outside the front part of the guide sleeve 16 can be hexagonal and the flange 17 can be round.
Das Verbindungselement nach Fig. 2 entspricht im wesentlichen der Ausführung nach Fig. 1, wobei für identische Teile die gleichen Bezugszeichen verwendet wurden. In dieser Ausführung weist jedoch die Führungsvorrichtung oder Hülse 16' keine Oeffnung an der Mantelfläche auf.2 essentially corresponds to the embodiment according to FIG. 1, the same reference numerals being used for identical parts. In this embodiment, however, the guide device or sleeve 16 'has no opening on the lateral surface.
Das Verbindungselement nach Fig. 3 hat einige gemeinsame Merkmale mit der Ausführung nach Fig. 1, wobei auch hier für entsprechende Teile die gleichen Bezugszeichen verwendet wurden. Insbesondere weist das Verbindungselement nach Fig. 3 ebenfalls einen aus einem Hülsenkopf 1 und einem Rohrteil 2 be¬ stehenden Hülseneinsatz 3 auf, wobei der Rohrteil 2 mit einem Aussengewinde 4 versehen ist. Durch eine Durchgangs¬ bohrung des Hülseneinsatzes 3 ist ein Bolzen 5 geführt, dessen Kopf 6 sich auf die Stirnwand des Rohrteils 2 stützt.The connecting element according to FIG. 3 has some common features with the embodiment according to FIG. 1, the same reference numerals also being used here for corresponding parts. In particular, the connecting element according to FIG. 3 likewise has a sleeve insert 3 consisting of a sleeve head 1 and a tube part 2, the tube part 2 being provided with an external thread 4. A bolt 5 is guided through a through-bore of the sleeve insert 3 and its head 6 is supported on the end wall of the tubular part 2.
Der Bolzen 5 weist einen länglichen runden glatten Teil 7, einen Führungsteil 23, dessen Querschnitt polygonal sein kann, und einen Endteil 9 auf, der mit einem Aussengewinde versehen ist. Zur Vereinfachung der Zeichnung sind das Kno¬ tenstück 24 und die Stange 25 nur gestrichelt angedeutet. Der Bolzen 5 ist durch die Durchgangsbohrung einer Führungs¬ hülse 26 geführt, aus der der Endteil 9 ragt. Beim vorderen Teil der Führungshülse 26 ist diese Durchgangsbohrung form¬ schlüssig mit dem Führungsteil 23 des Gewindebolzens 5 ausge¬ bildet, so dass mit möglichst wenig Spiel eine Drehbewegung von der Führungshülse 26 an den Bolzen 5 übertragen werden kann.The bolt 5 has an elongated round smooth part 7, a guide part 23, the cross section of which can be polygonal, and an end part 9, which is provided with an external thread. To simplify the drawing, the knot piece 24 and the rod 25 are only indicated by dashed lines. The bolt 5 is guided through the through bore of a guide sleeve 26 from which the end part 9 protrudes. In the front part of the guide sleeve 26, this through bore is formed in a form-fitting manner with the guide part 23 of the threaded bolt 5, so that a rotational movement can be transmitted from the guide sleeve 26 to the bolt 5 with as little play as possible.
Die Durchgangsbohrung des vorderen Teils der Führungshülse' 26 kann daher in Uebereinstimmung mit dem geführten Teil des Bolzens 5 ebenfalls polygonal sein. Vorzugsweise sind jedoch diese Querschnitte hexagonal. Demgegenüber weist die Durchgangsbohrung im hinteren Bereich der Führungshülse 26 einen vorzugsweise runden Querschnitt auf, wobei zwischen dem runden Teil 7 des Bolzens 5 und der vorzugsweise zylindri¬ schen Innenwand der Führungshülse 26 ein relativ grosser Luftspalt ist, um einen freien Raum zu bilden, in dem eine Schraubenfeder 27 untergebracht werden kann.The through bore of the front part of the guide sleeve 26 can therefore also be polygonal in accordance with the guided part of the bolt 5. However, these cross sections are preferably hexagonal. In contrast, the through hole in the rear region of the guide sleeve 26 has a preferably round cross section, a relatively large air gap being formed between the round part 7 of the bolt 5 and the preferably cylindrical inner wall of the guide sleeve 26 in order to form a free space in which a coil spring 27 can be accommodated.
An der Mantelfläche der Führungshülse 26 kann eine längliche Oeffnung 22 vorhanden sein, durch die ein Stift 15 lose ein¬ fügbar und mit dem Bolzen 5, vorzugsweise radial in seinem Führungsteil 8, verbindbar ist.An elongated opening 22 can be present on the lateral surface of the guide sleeve 26, through which a pin 15 can be inserted loosely and connected to the bolt 5, preferably radially in its guide part 8.
Die Feder 27 ist derart im Luftspalt angeordnet, dass sie sich rechts auf eine Büchse 28 und links auf den Stift 15 stützt, um ihn nach vorne zu drücken und mit ihm den End¬ teil 9 aus der Führungshülse 26 herauszudrücken, wenn man ihn beispielsweise mit der Hand in die Führungshülse 26 hineindrückt. Die üebertragung der Drehbewegung wird durch den Formschluss beim vorderen Teil der Führungshülse 26 be¬ wirkt. Demgegenüber ist der Stift 15 vorgesehen, um gegeben- falls mit den Fingern den Bolzen 5 entlang der länglichen Oeffnung 22 gegen die Wirkung der Feder 27 schieben zu können.The spring 27 is arranged in the air gap such that it rests on a bushing 28 on the right and on the pin 15 on the left supports to push it forward and to push the end part 9 out of the guide sleeve 26 when, for example, it is pushed into the guide sleeve 26 by hand. The transmission of the rotary movement is effected by the positive connection in the front part of the guide sleeve 26. In contrast, the pin 15 is provided in order to be able to push the pin 5 along the elongated opening 22 against the action of the spring 27 with the fingers, if necessary.
Bei dieser Ausführung ist der glockenförmige Flanschring 29 von der eigentlichen Führungshülse 26 getrennt, und die Büchse 28 ist vorgesehen, um damit den Flansch 29 an der Führungshülse 26 beispielswiese durch Anschrauben oder durch eine Bajonett-Vorrichtung zu befestigen. Der Flanschring 29, die Büchse 28 und die Führungshülse 26 bilden in diesem Fall die Führungsvorrichtung des Verbindungselementes.In this embodiment, the bell-shaped flange ring 29 is separated from the actual guide sleeve 26, and the bushing 28 is provided in order to fasten the flange 29 to the guide sleeve 26, for example, by screwing on or by a bayonet device. The flange ring 29, the sleeve 28 and the guide sleeve 26 in this case form the guide device of the connecting element.
Die Ausführung nach Fig. 3 hat die Eigenschaft, dass die3 has the property that the
Feder 27 nicht mehr in der Hülse 26 ständig eingeklemmt bleibt, wenn diese beispielsweise durch Anschrauben mit der BüchseSpring 27 no longer remains clamped in the sleeve 26 when it is screwed to the bushing, for example
28 verschlossen ist. Es ist daher leicht, die Feder 27 von der Hülse 26 zu entfernen. Diese Eigenschaft ist oft er¬ wünscht, um die Feder 27 leicht ersetzen zu können. Neben diesem Vorteil hat das Verbindungselernent nach Fig. 3 den weiteren Vorteil, dass durch den glockenförmigen Flanschring28 is closed. It is therefore easy to remove the spring 27 from the sleeve 26. This property is often desired in order to be able to easily replace the spring 27. In addition to this advantage, the connection element according to FIG. 3 has the further advantage that the bell-shaped flange ring
29 einen gut zusammenpassenden üebergang zwischen der Stange 25 und der Führungshülse 26 realisiert werden kann. Diese Ausführung kann ohne eine Oeffnung 22 irgendwelcher Art an der Mantelfläche der Führungshülse 26 hergestellt werden, weil sie sehr leicht abmontiert werden kann. Anstelle des Stifts könnte auch ein Vorsprung des Bolzens in den Teilen 7 und/oder 23 vorgesehen sein, wobei dann die Oeffnung 22 auch vollständig bis zum hinteren Ende der Führungshülse29 a well-fitting transition between the rod 25 and the guide sleeve 26 can be realized. This embodiment can be made without an opening 22 of any kind on the outer surface of the guide sleeve 26 because it can be removed very easily. Instead of the pin, a projection of the bolt could also be provided in the parts 7 and / or 23, in which case the opening 22 also extends completely to the rear end of the guide sleeve
26 vorgesehen sein könnte.26 could be provided.
In einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung könnte der Flanschring 29 einstückig mit dem hinteren Ende der Führungs¬ hülse 26 verbunden sein.In a further embodiment of the invention, the flange ring 29 could be connected in one piece to the rear end of the guide sleeve 26.
In einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung könnte der Flanschring 29 einstückig mit der Büchse 28 verbunden sein.In a further embodiment of the invention, the flange ring 29 could be integrally connected to the bushing 28.
Schliesslich sei noch bemerkt, dass anstelle einer Schrauben¬ feder auch eine seitlich montierbare beispielsweise mäander- förmig ausgestaltete Feder verwendet werden kann und dass der Flanschring und/oder die Hülse wegen Einhaltung der Toleranzen aus Druckguss beispielsweise Bronze- oder Zink- druckguss hergestellt werden kann. Finally, it should also be noted that instead of a helical spring, a laterally mountable, for example meandering, spring can also be used, and that the flange ring and / or the sleeve can be made from die cast, for example bronze or zinc die cast due to compliance with the tolerances.
