Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Linearverbinder aus Kunststoff oder Metall für hohle Abstandsprofile eines Mehrscheibenisolierglases, mit einem flachen, länglichen Körper mit teilmassivem Querschnittsprofil, der dem Hohlraumquerschnitt der beiden miteinander geradlinig zu verbindenden Abstandsprofile wenigstens teilweise entspricht und der aus zwei Teilen besteht, von denen der eine Teil in das eine Abstandsprofil und der andere Teil in das andere Abstandsprofil einsteckbar sind und der zum Toleranzausgleich mit Klemmitteln in Form einer in Körperlängsrichtung gewellten Oberflächenkontur versehen ist.The invention relates to a linear connector made of plastic or metal for hollow Spacer profiles of a multi-pane insulating glass, with a flat, elongated body with Partially massive cross-sectional profile, the cavity cross-section of the two with each other distance profiles to be connected in a straight line at least partially corresponds and that of two Parts exist, of which one part in one distance profile and the other part in that other distance profile can be inserted and the tolerance compensation with clamping in Form is provided a corrugated surface contour in the longitudinal direction of the body.
Derartige Linearverbinder sind beispielsweise aus DE-U-92 09 382 bekannt. Bei Verbindern dieser und ähnlicher Art ergibt sich das Problem, daß nach dem Einschieben oder Einschlagen in den Hohlraum der zugehörigen Abstandsprofile die für den festen Sitz des Linearverbinders in den Profilhohlräumen benötigte Reibungswirkung zwischen der Oberfläche des Linearverbinders und der sie umgebenden Innenwand des Abstandsprofils unzureichend ist. Zur Verbesserung dieser Reibungwirkung und damit zur Herbeiführung eines festen Klemmsitzes und oftmals gleichzeitig auch zur Verbesserung der Führung des Linearverbinders beim Einschieben in die Profilhohlräume werden in vielen Fällen auf bzw. in der Oberfläche des Linearverbinders zusätzliche Federelemente verwendet, die sich an die Wandung des Hohlraums anlegen. Diese zusätzlichen Elemente vergrößern jedoch den Herstellungsaufwand für das Spritzguß-, Stanz- oder Druckgußwerkzeug, mit dem die Linearverbinder angefertigt werden. Darüber hinaus sind Federelemente in Form von Zungen, Rückhaltenasen u. dgl. oftmals Ursache für Verletzungen der derartige Verbinder handhabenen Personen, weil sie scharfe Kanten aufweisen.Such linear connectors are known for example from DE-U-92 09 382. With connectors this and a similar kind of problem arises that after inserting or Drive into the cavity of the associated spacing profiles for the tight fit of the Linear connector in the profile cavities required friction between the Surface of the linear connector and the surrounding inner wall of the spacer profile is insufficient. To improve this friction effect and thus to bring it about a firm clamping fit and often at the same time also to improve the management of the Linear connectors when inserted into the profile cavities are in many cases on or Additional spring elements are used in the surface of the linear connector Create the wall of the cavity. However, these additional elements increase the Manufacturing costs for the injection molding, stamping or die casting tool with which the Linear connectors can be made. In addition, spring elements are in the form of Tongues, retaining lugs and the like Like. Often cause of injuries to such connectors handled people because they have sharp edges.
Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht deshalb darin, den Linearverbinder der genannten Art dahingehend zu verbessern, daß die zwischen seiner Oberfläche und der Innenwandoberfläche des Abstandsprofils auftretende Reibung auch ohne ausschließliche Nutzung von Federzungen, Rückhaltenasen und dergleichen Elemente erzeugt werden kann. The object of the invention is therefore to provide the linear connector of the type mentioned to improve in that the between its surface and the Internal wall surface of the spacing profile occurring friction even without exclusive Use of spring tongues, retaining lugs and the like elements are generated can.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß daß die gewellte Oberflächenkontur aus wenigstens je einer beidseitig der Körpermitte etwa von dieser Mitte ausgehenden, sich in Richtung der Körperenden bis zu einem Wellental erstreckenden muldenförmigen Vertiefung, die von diesem Tal in Richtung auf die Körperenden wieder ansteigt, um einen Wellenberg zu bilden, besteht, der mit einem Wellenberg im Bereich der Körpermitte korrespondiert, wobei die Unterseite und/oder die Oberseite des Körpers parallele Längsrippen aufiveisen, die wenigstens teilweise an die Wellenkontur angepasst sind, und daß die Unterseite und/oder die Oberseite des Körpers etwa in der Mitte der Körperlänge mit einer Schneidgratbremse versehen ist.This object is achieved in that the corrugated Surface contour from at least one on both sides of the body center approximately from this center outgoing, extending towards the body ends up to a trough trough-shaped depression that runs from this valley towards the body ends again increases to form a wave crest, which coincides with a wave crest in the area of Body center corresponds, with the bottom and / or the top of the body parallel longitudinal ribs that are at least partially adapted to the shaft contour, and that the bottom and / or the top of the body is approximately in the middle of the body length is equipped with a cutting edge brake.
Durch diese Konstruktion wird erreicht, daß die Klemmwirkung und damit auch der Toleranzausgleich zwischen dem Hohlraumquerschnitt der Abstandsprofile und dem Querschnittsprofil des Linearverbinders durch eine besondere Profilgebung des Längsschnitts des Verbinders, die einer gewellten Oberflächenkontur in Körperlängsrichtung entspricht, sichergestellt wird. Darüber hinaus bieten die parallelen Längsrippen, die der Wellenkontur angepasst sind, eine Verbesserung der Festigkeit und auch eine Materialersparnis, wobei zwischen den Längsrippen ein Molekularsiebdurchgang an der Verbindungsstelle der beiden Abstandsprofile gewährleistet wird. Schließlich ist die vorhandene Schneidgratbremse, vorzugsweise gebildet durch eine Quernut, die wenigstens einige der Längsrippen durchschneidet, ein Mittel um beim Einschieben des Längsverbinders in die Abstandsprofile sich abschabende Materialspäne zu unterbrechen und aus dem Verbindungsbereich zu beseitigen. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen gekennzeichnet.This construction ensures that the clamping effect and thus the Tolerance compensation between the cavity cross section of the distance profiles and the Cross-sectional profile of the linear connector through a special profile of the Longitudinal section of the connector, which has a corrugated surface contour in the body longitudinal direction corresponds, is ensured. In addition, the parallel longitudinal ribs that the Shaft contour are adjusted, an improvement in strength and also a Material savings, with a molecular sieve passage between the longitudinal ribs Connection point of the two distance profiles is guaranteed. After all, that is existing cutting edge brake, preferably formed by a transverse groove, which at least some of the Cuts longitudinal ribs, a means to when inserting the longitudinal connector into the Spacer profiles to interrupt scraping material chips and out of the Eliminate connection area. Advantageous developments of the invention are in the Subclaims marked.

Zur Verbesserung der Einführung des Linearverbinders in die Öffnungen der Abstandsprofilhohlraumquerschnitte können die Körperenden ein verjüngtes Querschnittsprofil aufweisen. To improve the insertion of the linear connector into the openings of the spacer profile cross sections the body ends can have a tapered cross-sectional profile exhibit.
So können die zwischen den Längsrippen befindlichen Nuten eine Breite aufweisen, die der Rippenbreite entspricht. Wenigstens einige dieser Nuten können an ihren beiden Enden offen sein, um beispielsweise den Durchgang des Molekularsiebs durch die Verbindungsstelle zu ermöglichen.Thus, the grooves located between the longitudinal ribs can have a width that the Rib width corresponds. At least some of these grooves can be on both ends be open, for example the passage of the molecular sieve through the To allow junction.
In diesem Zusammenhang ist für den Fall, daß der Linearverbinder durch mechanische Verformung des Abstandsprofils im Verbindungsbereich mit Hilfe von Stanzen oder Stempeln, die nach dem Einbau des Verbinders auf das Abstandsprofil einwirken, eine auf der dem Scheibenzwischenraum abgewandten Oberseite des Körpers in Körpermitte angeordnete Längsrippe mit Unterbrechungen zu versehen, in die die Wandung des Abstandsprofils hineinformbar ist. Auch kann die Schneidgratbremse durch eine Quemut gebildet sein, die wenigstens einige der Längsrippen durchschneidet. In dieser Quernut läßt sich vorteilhafterweise eine über die oberen Randkanten der Längsrippen hinausragende Querrippe als Abstandsprofilanschlag vorsehen.In this context, in the event that the linear connector by mechanical Deformation of the distance profile in the connection area with the help of punches or Stamp one on the spacer profile after installing the connector the upper side of the body facing away from the space between the panes in the middle of the body arranged longitudinal rib to provide interruptions in which the wall of the Distance profile can be formed. The cutting edge brake can also by a quemut be formed, which cuts through at least some of the longitudinal ribs. Leaves in this transverse groove advantageously a protruding beyond the upper edge of the longitudinal ribs Provide the cross rib as a spacer profile stop.
In diesem Zusammenhang können die Längsrippen beidseitig dieser Querrippe in Richtung auf letztere keilförmig ansteigen, um vor dem Anschlagen der Stirnseiten der Abstandsprofile einen weiteren Reibungswiderstand zwischen Abstandsprofil und Linearverbinder zu schaffen.In this context, the longitudinal ribs on both sides of this transverse rib in the direction on the latter rise in a wedge shape to prevent the front of the Distance profiles another frictional resistance between the distance profile and To create linear connectors.
Desweiteren hat sich bewährt, die beiden Seitenflächen des Körpers des Linearverbinders mit einer zackenförmigen Profilierung als weiteres Klemmittel zu versehen und diese Profilierung etwa in Körpermitte anzuordnen.Furthermore, the two side faces of the body of the linear connector have proven to be effective to be provided with a serrated profile as a further clamping means and this Arrange the profile approximately in the middle of the body.

Der in den Figuren 1 - 3 dargestellte Linearverbinder 1 besteht aus Kunststoff und weist
einen flachen, länglichen Körper mit teilmassivem Querschnittsprofil auf, der dem
Hohlraumquersehnitt der beiden miteinander geradlinig zu verbindenden Abstandsprofile,
die in der Zeichnung nicht dargestelt sind, in etwa entspricht und der aus zwei Teilen
besteht, von denen der eine Teil in das eine Abstandsprofil und der andere Teil in das andere
Abstandsprofil einsteckbar sind. Zum Toleranzausgleich zwischen dem Querschnittsprofil
des Linearverbinders und dem Hohlraumquerschnitt der Abstandsprofile zu dem Zweck,
den länglichen Körper 1 in den Abstandsprofilen festzuklemmen, dient, wie aus Fig. 2
ersichtlich, eine sich in Körperlängsrichtung A erstreckende gewellte Oberflächenkontur 2,
die auf der Unterseite 7 des Linearverbinders, die im Einbauzustand dem Scheibenzwischenraum
zugewandt ist, je eine beidseitig der Körpermitte 3 etwa von dieser Mitte
ausgehende, sich in Richtung auf die Körperenden 4, 5 bis zu einem Wellental C
erstreckende muldenförmige Vertiefung aufweist, welche von diesem Tal in Richtung auf
die Körperenden 4, 5 wieder ansteigt, um im Bereich der Körperenden einen Wellenberg D
zu bilden, der mit einem Wellenberg E im Bereich der Körpermitte 3 korrespondiert.The linear connector 1 shown in Figures 1-3 is made of plastic and has
a flat, elongated body with a partially massive cross-sectional profile, which the
Cavity cross section of the two spacer profiles to be connected in a straight line,
which are not shown in the drawing, roughly corresponds to and which consists of two parts
consists of one part in one spacing profile and the other part in the other
Spacer profile can be inserted. For tolerance compensation between the cross-sectional profile

Clamping the elongated body 1 in the spacing profiles serves, as in FIG. 2
one can see a corrugated surface contour 2 extending in the longitudinal direction A of the body,

is facing, one on both sides of the
Die auf der Unterseite 7 ausgebildete Wellenkontur findet sich auch auf der Oberseite 6,
wobei allerdings dort, wo sich auf der Unterseite ein Wellental C befindet, auf der Oberseite
6 ein Wellenberg vorgesehen ist und dort, wo auf der Unterseite ein Wellenberg D, E
vorgesehen ist, auf der Oberseite ein Wellental ausgebildet ist. Die in Körperlängsrichtung A
gewellte Oberflächenkontur 2 verläuft parallel zu den seitlichen Randkanten 21, 22 des
Körpers 1, könnte jedoch auch schräg dazu ausgerichtet sein, wobei letzterer Fall in der
Zeichnung nicht dargestellt ist.The wave contour formed on the underside 7 can also be found on the
Ebenso ist die Möglichkeit gegeben, die gewellte Oberflächenstruktur 2 nur auf einer der
beiden Seiten 6, 7 des Körpers 1 auszubilden oder auch auf allen Oberflächenseiten 6, 7, 8,
9 und damit auch auf den schmalen Seitenflächen 8, 9, und zwar auch mit einer noch
größeren Zahl von Wellenbergen und Wellentälern als in der Zeichnung dargestellt. Die
gewellte Oberflächenkontur 2 erstreckt sich bei der dargestellten Aushführungnsform über die
ganze Breite G des Körpers 1 sowie über seine gesamte Länge H, wobei die Körperenden
4, 5 ein verjüngtes Querschnittsprofil aufweisen, wie aus Fig. 2 ersichtlich, um das
Einstecken des Linearverbinders in die Hohlräume der Abstandsprofile zu erleichtern. There is also the possibility of using the corrugated surface structure 2 only on one of the

Scheibenzwischenraum abgewandt ist, als auch auf seiner Unterseite 7 mit parallelen
Längsrippen 10, 11 versehen, deren Oberfläche an die Wellenkontur 2 angepaßt ist. Diese
rippenförmige Oberflächengestaltung dient dem Zweck der Verbesserung des
biegeelastischen Verhaltens des Linearverbinders sowie der Einsparung an Material und der
Verringerung der Menge an Spanmaterial, die entsteht, wenn von den Oberflächen des
Geradverbinders durch die relativ scharfen Kanten der Hohlprofilstirnseiten, die mit der
Lienarverbinderoberfläche in Berührung treten, Material, ein sogenannter Span, abgeschabt
wird.The body 1 is both on its
Zur Beseitigung dieses Spans dient eine Schneidgratbremse 14 auf der Unterseite 7 und 15
auf der Oberseite 6 des Körpers 1, die etwa in der Mitte der Körperlänge H angeordnet ist
und durch eine Quernut 17, 18 gebildet wird, die die Längsrippen 10, 11 durchschneidet
und damit den Span unterbricht.A cutting burr brake 14 on the

Zu den Längsrippen gehört eine auf der Oberseite 6 des Körpers 1 bezuglich der
Körperbreite mittig angeordnete Längsrippe 11, die Unterbrechungen 13 aufweist, in
welche die Wandung des zugehörigen Abstandsprofils mechanisch hineingeformt werden
kann, sobald der Linearverbinder eingebaut ist, um dadurch eine zusätzliche formschlüssige
Verbindung zwischen dem Körper 1 und den Abstandsprofilen zu schaffen.The width of the
Die Längsrippen 10, 11 zu beiden Seiten der Querrippe 16 sind so ausgebildet, daß sie in
Richtung auf letztere keilförmig ansteigen, wodurch unmittelbar bevor die Abstandsprofile
an der Querrippe 16 anschlagen, eine zusätzliche Klemmwirkung zwischen den Längsrippen
und den Abstandsprofilen eintritt.The
Als weiteres Klemmittel ist bei der dargestellten Ausführungsform an den beiden
Seitenflächen 8, 9 des Körpers 1 eine zackenförmige Profilierung 19, 20 vorgesehen, die in
etwa in Körpermitte 3 angeordnet ist.Another clamping means is in the embodiment shown on the two
Die im Detail massive Ausbildung des Querschnitts des Linearverbinders wird durch die
Längsrippen 10, 11 und die zwischen ihnen befindlichen Nuten 12 erreicht, wobei letztere an
ihren Enden 23, 24 auch offen sein können, um einen Durchgang des Molekularsiebs im
eingebauten Zustand des Linearverbinders durch die Verbindungsstelle zu erreichen.The detailed design of the cross section of the linear connector is due to the
