Definitions

  • the invention relates to a connecting device for a crossbar construction of the type specified in the preamble of claim 1.
  • Rungs in double glazing are between two panes of e.g. B. windows arranged.
  • the rungs consist of hollow profile rods, the z. B. are plugged together by means of cross-connectors and are connected to the spacer frame of the double glazing with connecting plugs.
  • the rungs either have the metal color or they are coated with paint, whereby the color of the rungs is usually matched to the color of the window frame.
  • Previously solutions include the mitred ends of hollow profiles to be laterally attached to the hollow profiles serving as main rungs as struts such that the mitred end could be inserted into a corresponding mitered side recess in the main strut.
  • a clamping piece made of plastic or steel, which can be positively fitted into the hollow profiles, is used for the invisible connection of the hollow profiles joined together.
  • DE 36 38 355 A1 describes a generic connecting device in which a pin for fastening hollow cross struts to a hollow main strut positively penetrates two through holes in the form of fitting bores in the main strut. At the end, the pin is seated in a channel of clamping pieces inserted into the end of the cross struts, whereby a rigid connection between the cross struts and the main strut is achieved.
  • This construction requires a precise alignment of the push-through holes in the main strut with respect to one another, which can only be achieved by a high manufacturing expenditure and results in a relatively tedious assembly.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a connecting device for a rung cross construction of the type mentioned in the preamble of claim 1, which ensures a high-strength connection of the hollow profiles with simple assembly, without the hollow profiles being acted upon by connecting forces.
  • the invention is intended to propose an easy-to-carry out method for producing a rung cross construction based on the connecting device according to the invention and also a method for producing such a connecting device.
  • the push-through holes are accordingly provided not to be drilled through the main strut, but rather to be milled out as square recesses in the narrow sides of the hollow profiles, so that the pin is relatively free of play only in the longitudinal direction of the main strut, but with considerable play in the transverse direction.
  • the invention ensures that the assembly is simplified because relatively large through holes are created for the pin, the finding of which is very simple.
  • an easily controllable means namely milling, enables precise alignment of the height and position, as well as precise shaping of the push-through holes, so that constraints on the cross construction can be excluded with certainty.
  • Milling also does not require any special measures for the holder, especially in the case of thin hollow profiles, and ensures that the exact height and width dimensions for the push-through holes are observed.
  • the play for the pin in the transverse direction guarantees that the connecting forces between the main strut and cross struts are absorbed by the pin and the clamping pieces inserted into the cross struts without constraints.
  • the desired cross geometry is ensured according to the invention in that the connecting pins in the longitudinal direction of the main strut are received without play in the main strut push-through holes.
  • a particular advantage of the design of the generic connecting device according to the invention is that due to the play in the transverse direction during assembly, self-centering in the transverse direction is brought about in that the overlapping sections of the cross struts can easily contact the bevels of the broad side walls of the main strut, so that the desired geometry in the level of the crossbar construction adjusts itself.
  • Another advantage of the invention is that cross constructions with oblique cross angles can also be produced in a simple manner.
  • the contour of the clamping piece is adapted to the course of the cross strut inner wall, the clamping piece preferably being designed as an elongated solid body. In this way, a firm and secure connection of the clamping piece with the respective cross strut is achieved. In addition, this design feature allows large-scale introduction of forces from the clamping pieces into the cross struts.
  • the preferably only connecting pin is positively inserted into the clamping pieces in a press fit.
  • a fitting hole is made in the respective clamping piece, the wall of which is complementary to the pin contour.
  • a four-sided design of the pin is preferred, especially a pin with a rectangular, in particular square, cross section.
  • the clamping pieces are press-fitted into the cross struts.
  • the clamping piece has a slot which extends essentially parallel to the fitting bore for the pin, passing through it, the clamping piece being designed in the slot area to be spread at a predetermined angle in the manner of an expansion dowel.
  • the press-fit effect for the clamping piece, but also for the pin, can advantageously be increased in that the fitting bore for the pin is narrower in the area of the clamping piece slot when the clamping piece is inserted into the cross strut than at the entry end for the pin.
  • the spreading action of the slotted clamping piece is increased when the pin is inserted, and this has an increasing effect on the form-fitting press fit of the pin in the bore of the clamping piece.
  • the design of the connecting pin as a polygon, in particular as a square with a rectangular cross-sectional profile, has the great advantage that the push-through openings for the pin in the main strut with the dimensions provided according to the invention, which do not allow any play in the crossbar plane, but allow play transversely to this plane. can be easily realized.
  • the aforementioned recesses in the main struts are much easier to implement than the round bores in the prior art, especially when the desired thin-walled profiles are used, which can preferably be produced using the inexpensive rolling process.
  • the advantages lie in the simple and quick machining, whereby milling or sawing is easier than drilling the main hollow profiles on the high edge.
  • no complex clamping and drilling devices are required to make the push-through holes, and the deformation forces when making the holes are low.
  • the recesses forming the through holes in the main struts can also be made very easily so that any angles are possible for the struts to cross.
  • clamping pieces which are preferably made of plastic or other materials (eg as an injection molded part), and their fitting into the transverse profile ends also does not require a great deal of technical effort.
  • z. B. a fit over several mating surfaces, optionally in combination with a groove, the outer contour of the clamping piece adapting to the inner contour of the cross strut.
  • the clamping piece can be designed differently so that a frictional engagement and a tight fit in the cross strut hollow profile are achieved.
  • the frictional connection can be applied by friction ribs, press fit, etc.
  • the clamping piece Corresponding grooves are provided on both sides for receiving the beads.
  • a ridge can be formed in the front area between the projecting end sections of the clamping piece adjacent to the pin recess, which ridge fits into the indentation caused by the bead on the outer edge of the main strut.
  • friction ribs on all four sides of the clamping pieces are advantageous, so that they can be inserted into the hollow profiles in a form-fitting and firm manner, optionally with a press fit.
  • This method for producing cross-bar constructions according to the invention is simple to carry out.
  • One clamping piece each is fitted into the end of a cross strut to be attached to a main strut, a connecting pin preferably being previously inserted on this clamping piece.
  • the connecting pin is then inserted through the corresponding recesses in the main strut, the end face and the projecting end sections or overlapping sections of the clamping piece lying flat against the side of the main strut at the open end of the attached cross strut and possibly gripping it.
  • This method of producing a connecting device enables very simple and quick machining, since the recesses can be made more easily by milling or sawing than by drilling the main hollow profiles on the high edge.
  • the clamping pieces are in front of the Milling the contour profile inserted into the cross struts.
  • the advantages are that the hollow profiles can be clamped better when milling the contour profile. This is particularly important in the case of very thin-walled hollow profiles which are difficult to machine without clamping pieces.

  • the connecting pin 111 passes through the main strut 101 in the transverse direction, the narrow side walls of which are provided with push-through openings 112, as can be seen, for example, from FIG. 6, which shows an exploded view of the elements 4, wherein the connecting pins 111 are inserted into clamping pieces 113 designed as clamping pieces, which are inserted into the connecting ends of the cross struts in the manner described in more detail below.
  • the clamping piece is designed as a solid body, the contour of which, as can best be seen from the cross-sectional representation of FIG. 3, is adapted to the inner wall contour of the profiles.

  • the side surfaces 116 do not have this contour unit, which is why the width of the clamping piece 113 from side surface 116 to side surface 116 corresponds approximately to the clear distance between the opposing beads 104 in the hollow profiles.
  • the width extension of the clamping piece 113 is chosen so large that it corresponds to the distance between the narrow inside walls of the hollow profiles.

Starting from its base in the front part of the fitting bore 117 in the pin insertion direction, the slot opens towards the opposite end of the clamping piece 113 with an angle ⁇ located in the plane of the drawing, as can be seen from the left half of FIG. 8.

  • This wedge-shaped design of the front clamping piece allows, in particular in view of the spreading design of the clamping piece, a simplified insertion into the connection end of the respective cross strut.
  • the clamping piece 113 is widened, also by inclined surfaces, namely through the surfaces 120, which are designed to be complementary to the inclined surfaces 120. A particularly intimate press contact of the clamping piece 113 is achieved at its outer end. Between the inclined surfaces 122 at the rear and the inclined surfaces 120 at the front end of the clamping piece 113 also extend obliquely extending wall parts 123 in the region of the side walls 116. These extend at an angle y, which is half the opening angle ⁇ of the slot 118, and when the clamping piece 113 is inserted into a cross hollow profile, these wall parts 123 assume a parallel orientation to the profile side walls, analogously to a plastic expansion dowel.
  • the variant of the clamping piece 113 shown in FIG. 6 corresponds to the design of the clamping piece from FIG. 8 with the difference that the inclined walls 122 located at the front are not provided in the variant from FIG. 6, and with the difference that the longitudinal slot 118 extends up to close to the pin insertion end wall of the clamping piece 113.

  • the front end face of the clamping piece 113 is flush with the edges of the recessed narrow sides of the cross struts. This is the base of the U-shaped profile cross-section when looking at the narrow side of the profile connection end. As a result, a large-area support of the front clamping piece end face is achieved on the opposite narrow side of the main hollow profile. From Fig. 7 it can also be seen that the length of the connecting pin 111 and the depth of the fitting bores 117 are selected so that the pin and clamping pieces form a rigid and highly rigid skeleton when the pin is fully inserted into the clamping pieces, without the hollow profiles 101 and 102 also being used enter into a passport connection.
  • the transverse hollow struts 102 overlap the main strut 101 in a visually correct manner, but the hollow profile parts do not exert any force on one another. Rather, the hollow profiles form a kind of skin that serves as a veneer for the skeletal structure and is not exposed to any bending forces. For this reason, the hollow profiles of the rung construction described above can be made much thinner than in the prior art, in which the hollow profiles have a supporting function.
  • the push-through holes When looking at the narrow sides of the main strut 101, the push-through holes have a rectangular shape, the narrow sides of the rectangle run in the longitudinal direction of the main strut 101 and correspond to the thickness of the pin 111, while the long side of this rectangle exceeds the thickness of the pin; when viewed on the broad sides of the main struts 101, the push-through openings 112 for the pin 111 are U-shaped, and the base of this U-shaped shape is set back by a predetermined amount from the outer edge of the hollow strut, preferably up to the top side 106 of FIG Hollow strut 101 or at least up to the center of the respective inclined surface 107. In no case does the base of the U-shape extend so far into the main strut that its structure is weakened, or that there is no covering by the projection 105 of the fully attached cross struts 102.
  • FIGS. 10 and 11 show a modified embodiment of the crossbar construction in the same view and arrangement as the crossbar construction according to FIGS. 6 and 7, only the differences compared to the arrangement according to FIGS. 6 and 7 being discussed.
  • the main difference of the crossbar construction according to FIGS. 10 and 11 in comparison to the crossbar construction described above consists in a different shape of the clamping pieces 113.
  • the clamping piece 113 according to FIGS. 6 and 7 is not provided with a longitudinal slot and has a contour with a projection on the front, as will be described in more detail below.
  • the clamping pieces 113 are shaped in such a way that they fit into the end of the straight or inclined cross strut at the top, bottom and sides with a plurality of, in total, four mating surfaces.
  • the upper and lower mating surfaces 125 are divided by two grooves and extended beyond the end face of the clamping piece 113 to be attached to the main strut 101 to a projecting end section 126 which, because of the division, consists of three individual segments which are similar when connected to the main strut 101 like the overlap sections Lay 105 flat on the main strut 101.
  • the segmentation makes it possible, even with less elastic plastics and a larger wall thickness of the segments, to achieve their resilient contact with a press fit effect on the lateral top and bottom of the main struts.
  • the sections 126 are somewhat shorter than the overlap sections 105 of the cross struts 102 and 103, so that they are not visible after the profile parts have been connected.
  • the clamping pieces 113 which are made of plastic, for example by injection molding, receive the pins 111 in an exact square recess, as already described, with a press fit.
  • friction ribs extending in the direction of insertion are preferably formed on the head sides 114 and 114 'and side walls for a more tight fit of the clamping pieces 113. This reduces the precision requirements for the manufacture and processing of the hollow profiles as well as the clamping pieces.
  • the shape of the main and transverse struts and the fitting of the clamping pieces adapted to them are not limited to the solution shown, but, depending on the requirements, there can also be considerable deviations from this and other types of fitting can also be selected.
  • shape or contour milling cutters are preferably used for shaping the plastic clamping pieces.
  • the length of the clamping pieces 113 depends both on the width and the wall thickness of the cross struts 102 and 103. This also applies to the length of the overlapping sections 126. Depending on the size and wall thickness of the cross struts, the fit and the material of the clamping pieces, the most varied dimensions are also included the advantageous transfer of the connecting forces of the rung cross construction to the clamping piece-pin skeleton possible.
