Abstract

The connector has a cutting edge brake in the form of a brake-wedge (6,7) rising towards a stop element (8) from the upper surface (20) of the top, horizontal transverse bar (2). The brake is positioned on each side of the central stop element extending crosswise to the lengthwise axis of the flat, elongated body (1). The highest point of the brake wedge forms an edge (21) running parallel to and apart from the central stop element. The space between the edge of the brake wedge and the stop element matches the thickness of the stop element. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Geradverbinder aus Kunststoff zur Verbindung von hohlen Abstandsprofilen und hohlen Sprossenprofilen eines Mehrscheibenisolierglases, mit einem flachen, länglichen Körper, von dem das eine Ende in das eine Abstandsprofil A und das andere Ende in das andere Abstandsprofil B einsteckbar sind und dessen Oberfläche mit einem mittigen Anschlagelement versehen ist, welches beim Einschieben des Geradverbinders in die miteinander zu verbindenden Abstandsprofile A und B gegen die Profilstirnseiten C bzw. D stößt, wobei der Körper einen Doppel-T-Querschnitt hat, dessen mit Abstand parallele, waagrechte Querstege durch senkrechte Stege miteinander verbunden sind und im eingebauten Zustand des Geradverbinders die ihnen gegenüberliegenden Profilmnenwandoberflächen zumindest teilweise berühren. The invention relates to a straight connector made of plastic for connecting hollow spacer profiles and hollow rung profiles of a multi-pane insulating glass, with a flat, elongated Body from which one end into one spacing profile A and the other end into the other Spacer profile B can be inserted and its surface with a central stop element is provided, which when inserting the straight connector into each other connecting spacer profiles A and B abuts the profile faces C and D, respectively the body has a double-T cross-section, its parallel parallel, horizontal Cross bars are connected by vertical bars and in the installed state of the straight connector, at least the opposite profile wall surfaces partially touch.

Bei dem bekennden Geradverbinder dieser Art. (DE-U-93/00240) hat sich nun gezeigt, daß beim Einschieben des Geradverbinders in den Profilhohlraum die scharfen Kanten der Stirnseiten der Metallprofile, die mit der Oberfläche insbesondere des oberen Quersteges in Berührung treten, von der Kunststoffoberfläche Material abschaben und diesen "Schneidgrat" bis zum mittigen Anschlagelement vor sich herschieben. Dies hat die nachteilige Folge, daß der Schneidgrat zwischen den beiden Profilstirnseiten verbleibt und den zwischen den Stirnseiten vorhandenen, durch die Dicke des Anschlagelementes bedingten Spalt erheblich vergrößert mit der Folge, daß die Gefahr des Austretens von Trocknungsmittel aus dem Abstandsprofilhohlraum in den Scheibenzwischenraum vergrössert und des weiteren die Länge des Abstandsprofils größer wird als die für den Scheibenzuschnitt festgelegte Länge und daß damit auch die Winkel des Abstandsprofilrahmens an seinen vier Ecken nicht mehr stimmen und schließlich auch das Aussehen des Mehrscheibenisolierglases leidet, da der Verbindungsspalt und die in ihm befindlichen Materialspäne sichtbar sind.With the flush straight connector of this type. (DE-U-93/00240) has now been shown that when inserting the straight connector into the profile cavity the sharp edges of the end faces of the metal profiles, in particular with the surface of the upper crossbar, scrape material off the plastic surface and push this "cutting ridge" up to the central stop element in front of you. This has the disadvantageous consequence that the cutting ridge remains between the two end faces of the profile and the existing between the end faces, by the thickness of the stop element conditional gap significantly increased with the result that the risk of leakage from Desiccant enlarged from the spacer profile cavity into the space between the panes and further the length of the spacing profile becomes longer than that for the disc cutting fixed length and that with it also the angle of the spacer frame at its four corners are no longer correct and finally the appearance of the multi-pane insulating glass suffers because of the connection gap and the material chips in it are visible.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht deshalb darin, den Geradverbinder der genannten Art so weiterzubilden, daß die obigen Nachteile beseitigt werden und jegliches abgeschabte Material den direkten Anschlag der Profilstirnseiten am Anschlagelement nicht behindert.The object of the invention is therefore the straight connector of the type mentioned to further that the above disadvantages are eliminated and any scraped material the direct stop of the profile end faces on the stop element is not impeded.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß beidseitig des sich quer zur Längsachse des Körpers erstreckenden Anschlagelementes je eine Schneidgratbremse in Form eines aus der Oberfläche des oberen waagrechten Quersteges in Richtung auf das Anschlagelement ansteigenden Bremskeils angeordnet ist, dessen höchste Erhebung eine mit Abstand parallel zu dem mittigen Anschlagelement verlaufende Kante bildet, daß die maximale Höhe des Bremskeils kleiner ist als die Höhe des Anschlagelements, und daß die Oberfläche des Quersteges im Bereich der beiden Enden des Körpers mit bogenförmigen Wölbungen versehen ist, die sich in Längsrichtung des Körpers aus der Oberfläche erheben und beim Einschieben des Geradverbinders in die hohlen Abstandsprofile Auflaufbremsen bilden, welche zur Erzeugung eines festen Sitzes zwischen dem Geradverbinder und den Abstandsprofilen einen Toleranzausgleich zwischen diesen beiden Elementen schaffen.According to the invention, this object is achieved by that on both sides of itself is transverse to the longitudinal axis of the body extending stop element each a cutting edge brake in Form of a from the surface of the upper horizontal cross bar brake wedge rising towards the stop element is arranged, the highest elevation of which is at a distance forms an edge running parallel to the central stop element, that the maximum height of the brake wedge is less than the height of the stop element, and that the surface of the crossbar in Area of both ends of the body with arched arches is provided, which extends in the longitudinal direction of the body from the surface and when inserting the straight connector into the hollow spacer profiles form overrun brakes, which are used to generate a tight fit between the straight connector and the spacer profiles tolerance compensation between these two Create elements.

Durch diese Konstruktion wird der Schneidgrat, also das von der scharfen Kante der Profilstirnseite oberflächlich vom Geradverbinder abgeschabte Kunststoffmaterial, von der Oberfläche mit Hilfe der Kante vor dem Anschlagelement abgelöst, um aus dem entstehenden Spalt herauszufallen, so daß die Profilstirnseiten bis zum Anschlag mit dem Anschlagelement vorrücken können. Insbesondere die im Bereich der Ender des Körpers der Geradverbinders vorgesechenen bogenförmigen Wölbungen führen zu Materielabschabungen, einem sogenennten Schneidgrat, der durch die Schneidgratbremse beseitigt wird.This construction creates the cutting burr, i.e. that from the sharp edge of the profile face Plastic material superficially scraped from the straight connector, from the surface detached with the help of the edge in front of the stop element in order to emerge from the Gap falling out, so that the profile faces up to the stop with the stop element can advance. In particular those pre-raked in the area of the ends of the body of the straight connector arched arches lead to material scraping, a so-called cutting burr, which is removed by the cutting burr brake.

Aus der DE-U-93/16728 ist ein Geradverbinder bekannt, der zwar auch sogenannte Schneidgratbremsen aufweist, die jedoch anders angeordnet sind und einem anderen Zweck dienen im Hinblick darauf, daß sich an den Stirnseiten der metallenen Profile manchmal vorhandene, durch das Zuschneiden der Profile verursachte Metallrestteile zwischen die Verbindungsoberfläche und die Oberfläche des Profilhohlraums schieben und dadurch das Profil in unerwünschter Weise verformen. Dies ist darauf zurückzuführen, daß metallene Restteile der Profilkörper, die beim Ablängen, also Abschneiden, als Grat an den Stirnflächen der Profile stehenbleiben, ein bündiges Aufeinanderstoßen der Stirnseiten verhindern, so daß im eingebauten Zustand des Geradverbinders zwischen den Profilstirnseiten ein unerwünschter Spalt verbleibt. Um diesen Nachteil zu vermeiden, werden auf der Oberfläche des Geradverbindes dort, wo die Profilstirnseiten aufeinanderstoßen sollen, Schneidgratbremsen in Form von aus der Oberfläche in Richtung auf die Körpermitte hin ansteigenden Auflaufschrägen vorgesehen, die einander gegenüberliegen und zwischen sich einen Spalt bestimmter Breite lassen. Dieser Spalt beherbergt kein Anschlagelement und dient nur zur Aufnahme des sich an den Profilstirnseiten befindenden metallenen Gratmaterials, das somit gewissermaßen in das Kunststoffmaterial des Geradverbinders eingebettet wird. A straight connector is known from DE-U-93/16728, although also has so-called cutting-edge brakes, but they are different are arranged and serve another purpose in terms of that there are sometimes existing on the end faces of the metal profiles, metal parts caused by cutting the profiles between the connection surface and the surface of the profile cavity and thereby the profile in undesirable Deform way. This is due to the fact that metal remaining parts of the profile body, which when cutting, so Cut off, remain as a ridge on the end faces of the profiles, prevent the front sides from colliding flush, so that in the installed state of the straight connector between the An undesired gap remains on the front of the profile. To this To avoid disadvantage, be on the surface of the straight connection where the profile end faces should meet, cutting edge brakes in the form of from the surface towards the Rising inclines provided in the middle of the body opposite each other and a gap between them certain Leave width. This gap contains no stop element and only serves to accommodate the on the profile end faces metal burr material located, so to speak embedded in the plastic material of the straight connector becomes.

Fig. 3
2 shows an end view of the straight connector from FIG. 1.

Der in den Figuren 1 bis 3 beispielshalber dargestellte Geradverbinder weist einen flachen, länglichen Körper 1 auf, von dem das eine Ende 4 in das schematisch angedeutete eine Abstandsprofil A und sein anderes Ende 5 in das ebenfalls schematisch angedeutete andere Abstandsprofil B eingesteckt werden, um diese beiden Abstandsprofile miteinander zu verbinden.The straight connector illustrated by way of example in FIGS. 1 to 3 has a flat, elongated body 1, of which one end 4 is inserted into the one distance profile A, which is indicated schematically, and its other end 5 is inserted into the other distance profile B, which is also indicated schematically, around these to connect the two distance profiles.

Der Geradverbinder weist einen Doppel-T-Querschnitt auf mit einem oberen waagrechten Quersteg 2 und einem unteren waagrechten Quersteg 3, die sich bei dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel hinsichtlich ihrer Breite unterscheiden und durch senkrechte Stege 11, 13, 14 miteinander verbunden sind, welche einen gemeinsamen Mittelsteg bilden, der aus Materialersparnisgründen, aber auch aus Gründen des besseren Durchgangs des Trocknungsmittelpulvers mit Öffnungen 12 unterschiedlicher Größe versehen und dadurch in die genannten einzelnen Stege aufgeteilt ist.The straight connector has a double-T cross-section with an upper horizontal Cross bar 2 and a lower horizontal cross bar 3, which is shown in the Differentiate embodiment with respect to their width and by vertical webs 11, 13, 14 are connected to one another, which form a common central web that consists of Material saving reasons, but also for reasons of better passage of the drying agent powder provided with openings 12 of different sizes and thereby in the mentioned individual webs is divided.

Auf der Oberfläche 20 des oberen Querstegs 2 ist etwa in der Mitte der Länge des Geradverbinders ein rippenförmiges Anschlagelement 8 angeordnet, das sich quer zur Körperlängsrichtung erstreckt und beim Einschieben des Geradverbinders in die miteinander zu verbindenden Abstandsprofile gegen die Profilstirnseiten C bzw. D stößt, so daß die maximale Einschublänge durch dieses Anschlagelement festgelegt wird.On the surface 20 of the upper crosspiece 2 is approximately in the middle of the length of the straight connector a rib-shaped stop element 8 is arranged, which is transverse to the longitudinal direction of the body extends and when inserting the straight connector into each other connecting spacer profiles against the end faces C or D, so that the maximum Insertion length is determined by this stop element.

Beidseitig dieses mittigen Anschlagelementes 8 befindet sich je eine Schneidgratbremse in Form eines aus der Oberfläche 20 in Richtung auf das Anschlagelement ansteigenden Bremskeils 6 bzw. 7, dessen höchste Erhebung eine mit Abstand parallel zu dem mittigen Anschlagelement 8 verlaufende Kante 21 bildet. Der Abstand zwischen dieser Kante des Bremskeils und dem Anschlagelement 8 ist wählbar und entspricht im vorliegenden Fall der Dicke des Anschlagelementes. Er ist in jedem Fall so gewählt, daß der Schneidgrat, der sich dadurch bildet, daß die scharfen Kanten der Profilstirnseiten C und D oberflächlich vom Geradverbinderkörper beim Hineinschieben desselben in die Abstandsprofile A und B Kunststoffmaterial abschaben, diesen Schneidgrat von der Oberfläche mit Hilfe der Kante 21 vor dem Anschlagelement 8 ablösen, so daß er aus dem zwischen dem Anschlagelement und dem Bremskeil 6, 7 vorhandenen Spalt herausfällt, wodurch die Profilstirnseiten bis zum Anschlag mit dem Anschlagelement vorrücken können und die Gefahr beseitigt ist, daß Trocknungsmittel aus dem Hohlraum der Absstandsprofile austritt und in den Scheibenzwischenraum gelangt.On both sides of this central stop element 8 there is a cutting edge brake in each Form of a rising from the surface 20 in the direction of the stop element Brake wedge 6 or 7, the highest elevation one with a distance parallel to the center Stop element 8 forms extending edge 21. The distance between this edge of the Brake wedge and the stop element 8 can be selected and corresponds to the in the present case Thickness of the stop element. In any case, it is chosen so that the cutting burr, which is thereby forms that the sharp edges of the profile faces C and D superficially from Straight connector body when pushing it into the spacing profiles A and B Scrape plastic material, this cutting burr from the surface using the edge 21 in front of the stop element 8 so that it comes out of between the stop element and the brake wedge 6, 7 existing gap falls out, whereby the profile faces to Can advance stop with the stop element and the risk is eliminated that Desiccant emerges from the cavity of the spacing profiles and into the space between the panes reached.

Die maximale Höhe der Bremskeile 6, 7, die an ihren Kanten 21 gemessen wird, ist kleiner als die Höhe des Anschlagelements 8, so daß letzteres auch tatsächlich als Anschlagelement wirken kann. Die Länge der Bremskeile 6, 7, gemessen quer zur Längsachse des Körpers 1, ist im vorliegenden Fall gleich der Länge des Anschlagelementes 8, sollte jedoch zweckmäßigerweise der Breite des Quersteges entsprechen, damit der Schneidgrat, falls er sich über die gesamte Breite dieses Quersteges erstrecken sollte, auch abgelöst wird.The maximum height of the brake wedges 6, 7, which is measured at their edges 21, is smaller than the height of the stop element 8, so that the latter actually as a stop element can work. The length of the brake wedges 6, 7, measured transversely to the longitudinal axis of the body 1, is equal to the length of the stop element 8 in the present case, but should be expedient correspond to the width of the cross bar, so that the cutting burr, if it is should extend over the entire width of this crossbar, is also detached.

Die Unterseite des unteren Quersteges 3 ist mit einer Vielzahl von in gegenseitigem Abstand angeordneten Querrippen 17 versehen, die ähnlich wie an den parallelen Seitenkanten 18, 19 dieses Quersteges befindliche Rippen 22 dazu dienen, den Reibschluß zwischen der Oberfläche des Geradverbinders und der ihn umgebenden Wandung der Abstandsprofile A und B zu verstärken. The underside of the lower crosspiece 3 is spaced from one another by a large number arranged transverse ribs 17, which are similar to the parallel side edges 18, 19th this crossbar ribs 22 serve to provide friction between the surface the straight connector and the surrounding wall of the spacer profiles A and B to reinforce.

Darüber hinaus ist die Oberfläche 20 des Quersteges 2 im Bereich der beiden Enden 4, 5 des Körpers 1 mit bogenförmigen Wölbungen 9, 10 versehen, die sich in Längsrichtung des Körpers 1 aus der Oberfläche 20 herausheben und beim Einschieben des Geradverbinders in die hohlen Abstandsprofile A und B Auflaufbremsen bilden, welche zur Erzeugung eines festen Sitzes zwischen dem Geradverbinder und den Abstandprofilen einen Toleranzausgleich zwischen diesen beiden Elementen schaffen. Die Höhe dieser Wölbungen 9, 10, zu deren Verdeutlichung in Fig. 2 unterhalb der Wölbungen eine punktierte gerade Linie eingezeichnet ist, ist kleiner als die Höhe des Anschlagelementes 8. Gemessen in Richtung quer zur Längsachse des Körpers 1 weisen die Wölbungen 9, 10 eine Breite auf, die annähernd der Breite des Quersteges 2 entspricht. Die Länge der Wölbungen 9, 10 ist bei dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel größer als die Länge der Bremskeile 6, 7.In addition, the surface 20 of the crossbar 2 in the region of the two ends 4, 5 of the Body 1 provided with arcuate bulges 9, 10 which extend in the longitudinal direction of the Lift the body 1 out of the surface 20 and when inserting the straight connector into the hollow spacing profiles A and B form overrun brakes, which are used to generate a tight fit between the straight connector and the spacer profiles a tolerance compensation create between these two elements. The height of these bulges 9, 10, too a dotted straight line is shown below the bulges in FIG. 2 is smaller than the height of the stop element 8. Measured in the transverse direction to the longitudinal axis of the body 1, the curvatures 9, 10 have a width that is approximately corresponds to the width of the crosspiece 2. The length of the bulges 9, 10 is in the illustrated Embodiment greater than the length of the brake wedges 6, 7.

Bei dem gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel weisen die Bremskeile 6, 7 eine maximale Höhe von 0,3 mm auf, während die Höhe des Anschlagelementes 0,55 mm beträgt. Der Keilwinkel der Bremskeile beträgt 4°. Die mit 4 bzw. 5 bezeichneten beiden Enden des Geradverbinders verjüngen sich konisch, wie bei 15 und 16 dargestellt, um das Einstecken des Geradverbinders in die stirnseitigen Öffnungen der Abstandsprofile A und B zu erleichtern. Der Verjüngungswinkel beträgt 10°.In the exemplary embodiment shown, the brake wedges 6, 7 have a maximum height of 0.3 mm, while the height of the stop element is 0.55 mm. The wedge angle of the Brake wedges are 4 °. The 4 and 5 designated both ends of the straight connector taper as shown at 15 and 16 to insert the straight connector in the front openings of the spacer profiles A and B. The taper angle is 10 °.

Sowohl die Rippen 17 auf der Unteseite des Quersteges 3 als auch die Rippen 22 an den Seitenkanten 18, 19 dieses Quersteges haben einen dreieckigen Querschnitt, wobei die Spitze des Dreiecks einen Winkel von 90° bildet und die Dreieckshöhe 0,2 mm beträgt. Diese relativ kleine Verrippung reicht aus, um den gewünschten Reibungseffekt mit der umgebenden Wandung der Abstandsprofile zu erzeugen.Both the ribs 17 on the underside of the crosspiece 3 and the ribs 22 on the Side edges 18, 19 of this crossbar have a triangular cross section, the The tip of the triangle forms an angle of 90 ° and the triangle height is 0.2 mm. This relatively small ribbing is sufficient to achieve the desired friction effect with the surrounding one Generate wall of the spacing profiles.

Die Wölbungen 9 und 10, auch Bögen genannt, weisen eine vergleichsweise geringe Höhe auf und übersteigen keinesfalls die Höhe des Anschlagelementes 8. Sie fördern sowohl Ausrichtung als auch den festen Sitz des eingebauten Geradverbinders und dienen damit zur Erhöhung der Festigkeit der Verbindung der beiden Abstandsprofile A und B.The curvatures 9 and 10, also called arches, have a comparatively small height and never exceed the height of the stop element 8. They promote both alignment as well as the tight fit of the built-in straight connector and thus serve to increase the strength of the connection of the two spacing profiles A and B.
