Definitions

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the corrugated Surface contour on at least one of the two opposite surface sides of the body is formed, which in the installed state of the connector on the Disc space facing and / or facing spacer profile sides, the corrugated surface contour consisting of several in has proven particularly useful Body longitudinal direction and / or in the body transverse direction arranged in series one behind the other To train wave crests and wave troughs.
  • the body ends can have a tapered cross-sectional profile exhibit.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the linear connector and the cavity cross section of the spacing profiles for the purpose Clamping the elongated body 1 in the spacing profiles serves, as in FIG.
  • corrugated surface contour 2 extending in the longitudinal direction A of the body, those on the bottom 7 of the linear connector, which in the installed state the space between the panes is facing, one on both sides of the body center 3 approximately from this center outgoing, towards the body ends 4, 5 to a trough C extending trough-shaped depression, which from this valley towards the body ends 4, 5 rise again in order to have a wave crest D form, which corresponds to a wave crest E in the region of the body center 3.
  • the wave contour formed on the underside 7 can also be found on the top 6, where, however, where there is a trough C on the underside, on the top 6 a wave crest is provided and where a wave crest D, E is provided, a wave trough is formed on the top.
  • the body longitudinal direction A corrugated surface contour 2 runs parallel to the lateral edge edges 21, 22 of the Body 1, however, could also be oriented obliquely, the latter case in the Drawing is not shown.
  • corrugated surface structure 2 there is also the possibility of using the corrugated surface structure 2 only on one of the form both sides 6, 7 of the body 1 or on all surface sides 6, 7, 8, 9 and thus also on the narrow side surfaces 8, 9, and even with one larger number of wave crests and wave valleys than shown in the drawing.
  • the corrugated surface contour 2 extends in the embodiment shown over the entire width G of the body 1 and over its entire length H, the body ends 4, 5 have a tapered cross-sectional profile, as can be seen from FIG To facilitate insertion of the linear connector into the cavities of the spacing profiles.
  • the body 1 is both on its top 6, which in the installed state of the connector Disc space is facing away, as well as on its underside 7 with parallel Provide longitudinal ribs 10, 11, the surface of which is adapted to the shaft contour 2.
  • This rib-shaped surface design serves the purpose of improving the flexible behavior of the linear connector and the saving in material and Reduction in the amount of chip material that arises when the surfaces of the Straight connector through the relatively sharp edges of the hollow profile end faces that with the Lienar connector surface come into contact, material, a so-called chip, scraped becomes.
  • a cutting burr brake 14 on the underside 7 and 15 serves to remove this chip on the top 6 of the body 1, which is arranged approximately in the middle of the body length H. and is formed by a transverse groove 17, 18 which cuts through the longitudinal ribs 10, 11 and thus breaks the chip.
  • transverse rib 16 which as Stop for the spacer profiles to be pushed open.
  • the width of the grooves 12 between the longitudinal ribs 10, 11 corresponds approximately to the rib width.
  • the longitudinal ribs include one on the top 6 of the body 1 with respect to the Body width centrally arranged longitudinal rib 11, which has interruptions 13, in which are mechanically molded into the wall of the associated spacing profile can, as soon as the linear connector is installed, thereby an additional positive To create connection between the body 1 and the spacing profiles.
  • the longitudinal ribs 10, 11 on both sides of the transverse rib 16 are formed so that they in Direction on the latter rise in a wedge shape, which means immediately before the distance profiles strike on the transverse rib 16, an additional clamping effect between the longitudinal ribs and the distance profiles occurs.
  • Another clamping means is in the embodiment shown on the two Side surfaces 8, 9 of the body 1 provided a serrated profile 19, 20, which in is arranged approximately in the middle of the body 3.
  • the detailed design of the cross section of the linear connector is due to the Longitudinal ribs 10, 11 and the grooves 12 located between them reached, the latter on their ends 23, 24 can also be open to a passage of the molecular sieve in to achieve the installed state of the linear connector through the connection point.
