Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a system of profile elements for the construction of frame structures, said system comprising elongate hollow profile elements with at least one longitudinal channel and joining elements for providing angle joints between two such profile elements, said joining elements comprising a centring and load transferring insertion guide element having a substantially rod-shaped shank part for insertion with comparatively tight sliding adjustment into the mouth of said channel at a cut surface in one of said two profile elements and a head part formed integrally with the shank part.
  • a link connection for two tubular sections in which a transverse bolt arranged in one of the sections is engaged by an elongate slit in a connecting member secured in and forming a substantially right angle with the other section to allow the two tubular sections to be transferred from a position, in which they are parallel to each other, to a position in which they are arrestable with a right angle with respect to each other, without arrestability in any intermediate position between the two extreme positions.
  • the object is met by means of a system which is characteristic in that said shank part and said channel in said one profile has a substantially rectangular cross-section and that said head part has a first flat side wall portion intersecting one of two opposite parallel sides of the shank part under a prescribed maximum angle and a cylindrical wall section joining said first side wall portion and extending toward the other of said opposite sides of the shank part, said cylindrical wall section having its axis at the intersection of said first side wall portion and said one side of the shank part, the length of said first side wall portion and the radius of said cylindrical wall section corresponding to the width of a channel in the other of said two profile elements to provide stable connection between said profile elements for any angle therebetween within a prescribed angular range limited by said maximum angle by local surface engagement of part of said cylindrical wall section with an internal surface of said channel in said other profile element.
  • a particularly suited alternative embodiment of the invention is characteristic in that the shank part of the insertion guide element is fastened in a channel in the column profile element, whereas the head part is inserted in a channel in the girder profile element either from its mouth at an end cut surface or through an opening in an outer wall of said channel, the head part being retained in the girder profile element by means of a locking engagement.
  • This locking engagement may preferably be provided by means of transversely flushing holes in the head part of the insertion guide element and opposite wall portions of said channel in the girder profile element.
  • the invention relates to an insertion guide element for use in an angle joint between two elongate profile elements with at least one longitudinal channel with substantially rectangular cross-section, said insertion guide element having the features stated in claim 8.
  • a standard part is provided which may be used in a number of joints between profile elements with mutually differing slope.
  • the special design ensures an easy mounting and a stable fixation of the profile elements relative to each other over the entire angle range in question.
  • Figs 1-4 an example of a system of profile elements 1, 2, and 3 is shown, which as a whole constitutes part of a bigger frame structure, like for instance a building structure.
  • the profile elements are connected with each other by corner joints, which at each point of assembly have one or more insertion guide elements 4.
  • the embodiment of the insertion guide element 4 is seen in detail in Fig. 5.
  • the insertion guide element 4 has a substantially rod-shaped shank part 5 with a width b and a substantially circular-section-shaped head part 6 integral with the shank part 5.
  • the head part 6 has a first side wall portion 7 which forms an angle v with a first side 8 of the shank part 5 and which extends into a cylindrical wall section 9.
  • the wall section 9 extends in turn tangentially into a second wall portion 10 extending to a second side 11 of the shank part 5.
  • the construction of the insertion guide element 4 is such that the first side wall portion 7 of the head part 6 has a length which is substantially equal to the width b of the shank part 5, and the cylindrical wall section 9 has a radius likewise corresponding to the width b.
  • the centre axis of the wall section 9 is positioned in the intersection point between the first side 8 of the shank part and the first side wall portion 7, and the section 9 extends through a curved length of 90°, which has the effect that the first side wall portion 7 and the second wall portion 10 form two mutually parallel surfaces which are separated by a distance corresponding to the width b, and that the obtuse angle between the second wall portion 10 and the second side 11 of the shank part 5 is equal to the angle v.
  • the angle v corresponds to a prescribed maximum value of the angle joint between the profile elements, and here amounts to a value of 135°.
  • the joining of for instance the profile elements 1 and 2 as shown in Figs 1-4 is carried out in the following way: the shank part 5 on the insertion guide element 4 is passed from the cut end surface of the profile 1 into a channel not shown in detail in one of the profile elements 1.
  • the width b of the shank part 5 is chosen such that this insertion takes place with a comparatively tight sliding adjustment.
  • one or more insertion guide elements 4 may be used at one point of joining, and in particular in connection with wide profile elements this will give an even better centring and load transfer. This naturally requires a corresponding number of channels in the profile elements.
  • the head part 6 of the insertion guide 4 is introduced into a corresponding channel in the second profile element 2.
  • the profile elements 1 and 2 are now centred, their cut end surfaces covering each other completely, and may now be joined by means of for instance screws, bolts between exterior yokes or by gluing or welding.
  • the insertion guide element 4 brings about a safe centring and load transfer within a big angle range, in this case from 45° to 135°. These extreme positions are determined by the fact that the side wall portion 7 on the head part 6 is perpendicular to and abuts a side wall in the channel, in which the head part 6 is introduced.
  • Figs 6 and 7 show a part of a system, in which a column profile element 20 forms an angle joint with a transverse girder profile element 21 by means of an insertion guide element 22 with a shank part 23 which is introduced into and fastened for instance by means of rivets in a channel 24 in the column profile element 20.
  • the insertion guide element 22 is with a head part 25 inserted in a channel 26 in the girder profile element 21 through an opening 27 in an outer wall of this channel.
  • the head part 25 is retained in the girder profile element 21 by means of a locking engagement which in the embodiment shown is established thereby that in the head part 25 a transverse hole 28 is provided which flushes with holes 29, 30 in the opposite walls of the channel 26 in the girder profile element 21, as well as a by a pin (not shown) which is introduced into the holes 28, 29, and 30, whereby the column profile element 20 and the girder profile element 21 become mutually locked.
  • Fig. 8 shows the construction of the insertion guide element 22.
  • a ledge 31 with a shoulder 32 is formed between the shank part 23 and the head part 25, said shoulder extending between opposite sides 33, 34 of the shank part 23 in an angle which will be explained in the following.
  • the object of the shoulder 32 is to put a bottom limit to the angle range of the angle joint between the profile elements, here the column profile element 20 and the girder profile element 21, and amounts in the embodiment shown here to approx. 30°.
  • the insertion guide element 22 is, like the element 4 shown in Fig. 5, provided with a first side wall portion 35 and a cylindrical wall section 36.
  • FIG. 9 shows a system, in which a corner joint of the same type as shown in Figs 1-4 and guided by means of one or more insertion guide elements 4, as shown in fig. 5, is connected with a column profile element 20 by means of an insertion guide element 22 as described with reference to Figs. 6 and 7.
