Definitions

  • the invention relates to a screw connection of mutually perpendicular hollow profiles for window, door or the like.Frames, whereby on the front end of the hollow profile, which has at least one longitudinally axially extending screw channel, a metallic connecting body with its one side laid flat and thus is to be screwed over at least one screw fastening hole in its central area and a first connecting screw to be inserted therein, and this connecting body is to be placed with its other side over a wide area on the longitudinal side of the other hollow profile and thus via screw fastening holes located at both ends and opposite to the first connecting screw the second connecting screws must be screwed tight.
  • a screw connection of the above type is known from FR-A-2 287 608. It is about the T-shaped connection of a substantially rectangular cross-section, made of metal hollow profiles, with open-ended screw channels are provided on the inside in the end-to-end hollow profile on the inside of its two opposite narrow walls, each consisting of two adjacent and through a longitudinal slot separated from each other, provided on their concavely curved inner sides with corresponding thread ribs.
  • the inner, penetrating the central area of the connecting body designed as countersunk screws Screw in fastening screws, while the opposite connecting screws of the connecting body are screwed into screw holes machined in the thin wall facing them of the metal profile to be connected on the long side.
  • the connecting body can be designed as a flat connecting plate to be inserted between the comparatively low edges of the metal profile to be longitudinally connected or, in the case of metal profile frames provided with high edges, have a correspondingly high bump in the middle into which the central screw thread holes are incorporated.
  • the metallic connecting body and the fastening screws to be installed in the opposite direction enable an easy-to-manufacture T-shaped connection of two hollow frames, which does not appear to be an external disturbance, which, however, must consist of metal because of the comparatively small fastening seat of the connecting screws.
  • screw connections are known for T-shaped plastic hollow profiles to be connected to one another, in which the connecting screws to be screwed into two screw channels of the end-supported hollow profile arranged in the inner wall penetrate completely the other hollow profile, i.e. also from the long side of the hollow side facing away from the front end of the one hollow profile other profiles must be used and screwed in.
  • Such a screw connection is structurally simple.
  • it has the disadvantage that the two-sided attachment of the screw fastening holes in the continuous hollow profile requires an exact alignment with the screw channels of the other hollow profile to be placed at the end.
  • this screw connection also leaves something to be desired in terms of strength, since the long side of the continuous hollow profile facing away from the front end of a hollow profile gives way accordingly when the connecting screws are tightened, namely bulges inwards.
  • this known screw connection provided with the through hollow profile completely penetrating connecting screw is not suitable for cross-shaped hollow profile connections.
  • the invention has for its object to improve a hollow profile screw connection of the type mentioned in such a way that it is particularly suitable for the T-shaped connection of plastic hollow profiles while maintaining its simple design and easy assembly and ensures a better connection strength.
  • the connecting body can with a continuously flat contact surface of the longitudinally connected plastic hollow profile be designed as a flat connecting plate, which can be effortlessly installed between the hollow plastic profiles to be connected in a T-shape by means of the connecting screws to be inserted in the opposite screw fastening holes.
  • the connecting body or the connecting plate also makes it possible to create cross-shaped plastic hollow profile connections, because only one such connecting body or connecting plate is provided between the opposite longitudinal sides of the hollow profile passing through and the end faces of the two other hollow profiles which are supported thereon are needed.
  • transverse transverse centering projections are preferably provided which tightly encompass the front end of the plastic hollow profile in question and thereby also help to increase the connection strength.
  • These centering projections are advantageously rib-shaped and have an inner wall running perpendicular to the connecting plate surface and an inclined outer wall tapering therein. With their inner wall, these centering projections or ribs, which are arranged at a corresponding distance from one another, can tightly encompass the front end of the hollow plastic profile to be placed between them and thus also act to prevent rotation, which is particularly the case when only one screw channel of the hollow profile to be connected on the front side is closed connecting screw is important.
  • sealing strips of a suitable sealing material lying flat on the connecting plate can be provided between the connecting plate and the adjacent hollow profiles.
  • the profile connection point shown is formed by the plastic hollow profile 2 provided with an inserted metallic reinforcement hollow profile 1 and passing through at the connection point on the one hand and the plastic hollow profile 3 to be screwed on the end face thereof, which according to FIG. 2 is arranged with several, preferably two, on its inner wall opposite one another , longitudinal axially extending, all around closed screw channels 4 is provided.
  • the connection between the two hollow profiles 2, 3 takes place via the metallic screw connection body 5, which is made, for example, of stainless steel but also of light metal, such as e.g. a suitable aluminum alloy. Since the plastic hollow profile 2 to be connected on the longitudinal side has a continuously flat supporting surface 2 'for the connecting body 5 to be placed thereon, the latter is advantageously designed here as a flat connecting plate.
  • the connecting plate 5 is in the present case specifically of the nature shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. It has two screw fastening holes 6 on the inside for the connecting screws 7 to be inserted therein, which are to be screwed into the all-round screw channels 4 of the hollow section 3, and two screw fastening holes 8 at their ends 5 ', i.e. outside screw fastening holes 8 for the continuous hollow section 2 and the metallic one therein Reinforcement profile 1 to be inserted or screwed in connecting screws 9.
  • the connecting plate 5 On its upper side facing the hollow profile 3 lying at the end, the connecting plate 5 is provided with transversely running, rib-shaped centering projections 10, each of which has an inner wall 10 'running perpendicular to the plate surface and an inclined outer wall 10''tapering therein. With these centering ribs 10, the connecting plate 5 can tightly encompass the end face 3 'of the hollow profile 3. In its central part 5 ′′, which lies within the centering ribs 10 and has the inner screw fastening holes 6, the plate 5 projects over its ends 5 ′ on both sides in order to fully correspond in profile to the hollow profile 3 to be placed on the end face.
  • a lower and upper sealing strip 11 or 12 are preferably inserted, so that no water from the outside into the screw connection point formed and over it in the profile interiors can enter.
  • the screw connection plate 5 together with the sealing layer 12 lying on its upper side is first fastened to the front end 3 'of the hollow profile 3 via the internal screws 7 to be screwed into the screw channels 4 which are closed all around.
  • the connecting plate 5 with the lower sealing layer 11 with the hollow profile 3 can then be placed on the continuous hollow profile 2 and can be firmly connected to it by means of the external connecting screws 9.
  • the same principle of connection is also used for the construction of cross-shaped hollow profile connections.
  • a metal connecting plate 5 is provided between the opposite longitudinal sides of the hollow profile passing through it, for example 2, and the end faces 3 'of the two other hollow profiles 3, which are supported thereon.
