Definitions

  • the invention relates to a linear connector for hollow, provided with a perforation Distance profiles of a multi-pane insulating glass, with a flat elongated body, whose cross section rectilinearly to the cavity cross section of the two connecting spacing profiles is adapted and preferably corresponds to this, and from consists of two parts, one part in the one spacing profile and the other part can be inserted into the other spacing profile of the two profiles to be connected to one another are, and the surface of which is provided with at least one upstanding center stop is that when inserting the linear connector into the spacer profiles with their Leading edges come into contact.
  • linear connectors are, for example, from DE-OS 28 09 822 and G 90 16 592 known.
  • the problem with linear connectors of this and similar type is that after insertion or insertion into the cavity of the associated spacing profiles the frictional effect between the surface of the linear connector and it surrounding inner wall of the spacer profiles often leaves something to be desired, although in In many cases, additional spring elements on or in the surface of the linear connector Find use that attach themselves to the wall of the cavity to the frictional force to increase and thereby prevent the junction of the spacer profiles opens again after installing the linear connector.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to continue the linear connector to improve that between its surface and the inner wall surface of the Spacer profile occurring friction is increased, so that a tight fit after installation the linear connector is guaranteed, especially in cases where, how common with insulating glass panes nowadays, the spacing profiles are provided with a perforation are, which has the task of the air in the space between the panes in the To allow clearance profile cavity to dehumidify the air with the help of the to effect this cavity molecular sieve.
  • the center stop as part of a Cutting edge brake on the top of the elongated body has a cross rib to which Adjacent wedges rising from the surface of the upper side on both sides, whose highest elevation is below the apex of the cross rib, and that at the parallel side faces of the elongated body in the area of the transverse rib and several wedges are arranged side by side spaced ribs, their apex height increases on both sides of the cutting edge brake towards the transverse rib and at those of the transverse rib on next lying side ribs is so large that the width of the linear connector, characterized by the distance between the side surfaces, is slightly larger than outside this Area, the cross rib of the cutting edge brake with respect to the side ribs so is arranged that its lateral extension lies in a side rib valley.
  • the linear connector shown in Fig. 1 consists of a known rigid plastic material and has an almost rectangular cross section. Its flat, elongated body 1 is used to connect the hollow spacer profiles 4, 5 and is for this purpose with its parts 2 and 3 in the two Inserted spacer profiles until the profile faces 7 and 8 at its center stop, which as part of a cutting edge brake on the top 7 of the elongated body 1 has a transverse rib 6. Wedges 8, 9 rising from the surface of the upper side to the transverse rib border on both sides of it, the highest elevation of which lies below the apex of the transverse rib 6.
  • wedges 8, 9 are part of the cutting edge brake, by means of which the cutting edge, which can form when the linear connector is pushed into the cavity of the spacing profiles, is scraped off by the fact that the front edges 15, 16 of the spacing profiles scrape plastic material from the surface of the linear connector and push in front, in the space 10 mixing the front edge edges 17, 18 of the wedges 8, 9 and the transverse rib 6 shown in FIG. 3 is deposited. This prevents this degree of cutting, that is the scraped-off material, from building up in front of the transverse rib 6 and preventing extensive joining of the front edges 15, 16 of the spacer profiles 4, 5. To reinforce this effect, the cross rib 6 of the cutting edge brake is longer than the wedges 8, 9 are wide.
  • the transverse rib 6 At the extension of the center line designated 19 there is the transverse rib 6, that is, the transverse rib is arranged with respect to the side ribs 13 so that their lateral extension falls into a side rib valley 14.
  • the distance A of the individual side ribs 13 from each other in the illustrated embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4 is 1.5 mm and the height of the side ribs increases in the direction of the center of the elongated body 1 and thus in the direction of the transverse rib 6, as Already stated above, in the embodiment shown by 0.1 mm each.
  • the side ribs 13 extend only over part of the total height H of the elongated body 1 by being arranged in the region of the cutting edge brake consisting of the wedges 8, 9 and the transverse rib 6.
  • the side ribs as can be seen from Fig. 3 , have a cross section which corresponds to an isosceles triangle whose apex angle is 90 °, while the transverse rib 6 also has a triangular cross section which forms an isosceles triangle, the apex angle of which includes 30 °.
  • the wall of the spacer profiles 4, 5 facing the space between the panes of insulating glass is usually provided with a perforation, i.e. with openings, through which a connection is made between the cavity of the spacer profiles and the space between the panes with the aim of using the air in the space between the panes to dehumidify filled in the cavity of the spacer profiles, also called molecular sieve.
  • a perforation i.e. with openings
  • the cutting edge brake formed from the transverse rib 6 and the wedges 8 and 9 can either be arranged on the upper side of the elongated body 1, as can be seen in FIG. 1 , or on the lower side 20, depending on the cutting edge direction of the saw when cutting the distance profiles.
  • the linear connector shown in Fig. 5 also consists of a known rigid plastic material and has an almost rectangular cross section. Its flat, elongated body 21 is used to connect the hollow spacer profiles 24, 25, and for this purpose, as in the embodiment according to FIGS. 1 to 4 , its parts 22 and 23 are inserted into the two spacer profiles until the profile faces 27 and 27, respectively 28 abut the center stop 26, on which the so-called cutting edge brake in the form of a wedge 220, 221 rising to the upper edge of the stop 6 is positioned at a short distance on both sides.
  • These openings 212 are made in that for example with the help of a spiked roller, the hollow profile wall is pierced, whereby the breakthrough edges usually form a sharp-edged ridge at the penetration points, which is indicated schematically in Fig. 5 at 210.
  • corrugations 213, 214 are in the form of themselves transverse to the longitudinal direction of the Body 1 extending and strip-like in the insertion direction at a distance one behind the other ribs 215 which, as shown in FIG.
  • each use a row of ribs which are known within slot-shaped material recesses 218, 219 and, as shown at 223 and 224, May have interruptions, which may be due to mold construction, by ejectors for the injection molded part, ie the Linear connector, sit.
  • the depth of the sawtooth-like profile of the ribs 215 shown in FIG. 1 is 0.72 mm, the rib spacing approx. 2.5 mm, whereby these dimensions correspond to the existing ones Perforation breakthroughs 212 are adapted.
  • Dimensions and location as well as size and type of corrugation or ribs are at least chosen so that the desired goal, namely a mechanical friction between the tips of the ribs and the perforations becomes.
