At least two parts of the plastic sheath comprise protruding and returning areas (6, 7) on the outer surface thereof.

Description

Fugendübel Joint dowels
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Fugendübel, bestehend aus dem eigentlichen Dübel und einer mehrteiligen Kunststoffhülle .The invention relates to a joint dowel consisting of the actual dowel and a multi-part plastic casing.
Derartige Fugendübel bei denen der eigentliche Dübel aus Stahl besteht, werden in Betondecken, beispielsweise von Straßen, Flugpisten, od.dergl. verwendet, um im Bereich von Fugen zwischen den einzelnen benachbarten Betonfeldern den Höhenversatz und den Seitenversatz dieser Felder relativ zueinander zu verhindern und temperaturbedingte Längenänderungen nahezu zwängungsfrei aufnehmen.Such joint dowels in which the actual dowel is made of steel are used in concrete ceilings, for example from roads, airstrips, or the like. used to prevent the vertical offset and the lateral offset of these fields relative to each other in the area of joints between the individual adjacent concrete fields and to absorb temperature-related changes in length almost without constraint.
Eine bedeutsame Unterscheidung benachbarter Felder bzw. der sie trennenden Fugen kann man dahingehend vornehmen, ob es sich um eine Raumfuge (mittels Schalung hergestellte Fuge) handelt, bei der die benachbarten Felder einen gewissen Abstand voneinander aufweisen oder um eine Scheinfuge, die während des Aushärtens und damit des Schwindens des Betons, durch entsprechende Maßnahmen an dafür vorgesehenen Stellen initiert wird und wesentlich geringere Breiten aufweist als die Raumfuge.A significant distinction can be made between adjacent fields or the joints separating them, whether it is a spatial joint (joint made using formwork), in which the neighboring fields are at a certain distance from each other, or an apparent joint that is formed during curing and so that the shrinkage of the concrete is initiated by appropriate measures at the designated places and has significantly smaller widths than the room joint.
Ein wesentlicher Unterschied ist hier deswegen zu beach- ten, weil bei Raumfugen die die Fuge überbrückenden Dübel zwischen den einzelnen Betonfeldern immer einen ausreichenden Zwischenraum zur Verfügung haben, in dem die Hülle der Dübel eine entsprechende elastische Deformierung erfahren kann.An important difference should be noted here, because in the case of room joints the dowels bridging the joint always have sufficient space between the individual concrete fields in which the shell of the dowels can experience a corresponding elastic deformation.
Anders ist es bei den Scheinfugen, bei denen üblicherweise die anemandergrenzenden Betonfelder "auf Knirsch" stehen und die Hüllen der Dübel in diesem Normalzustand keine Bereiche aufweisen können, in denen eine elastische Deforma- tion problemlos möglich wäre. Die Dübel selbst haben im Laufe ihrer Verwendung eine zunehmende Verbesserung erfahren, insbesondere was ihre Umhüllung betrifft. Waren die ersten derartigen Dübel m der frühen Zwischenkriegszeit noch einfach m Bitumen gebettet und besonders bei der Verwendung auf Flughäfen, Fahrbahnen und dergleichen der Korrosion nach kürzester Zeit preisgegeben, so wurde schon 1937 m der US 209 50 61 A geoffenbart, daß die Dübel in Hülsen unterzubringen wären, die im Bereich der Fugen eine entsprechende Längs-Dehnbarkeit aufweisen sollten. Diese Dehnbarkeit, eine Teilung der Hülsen mit Überlappung, macht die Verwendung ausschließlich m Raumfugen möglich. Eine Variante mit einem am Äquator angeordneten, radialen Wulst und dort aufgeschobener kugeliger Abdeckung mit Öffnungen für den Dübel ist zum Einsatz bei Knirschfugen vorgesehen. In diesem Fall geht die Hülle über die gesamte Dübellänge durch und weist im zentralen Bereich, der von der kugelförmigen Abdeckung geschützt ist, Längsschlitze auf und ist m diesem Bereich leicht aufgewölbt, um den Bewegungen der Betonfelder fol- gen zu können. An den Enden der Dübel sind Kappen aufgesetzt, die Ausnehmungen aufweisen durch die Bewehreisen gesteckt werden können, die paralell zur Fuge verlaufen und so die Dübel an ihrem Platz halten.It is different with the dummy joints, in which the concrete fields bordering each other are usually "on crunchy" and the shells of the dowels in this normal state cannot have any areas in which an elastic deformation would be possible without any problems. The dowels themselves have seen an increasing improvement over the course of their use, particularly as regards their wrapping. While the first such dowels in the early interwar period were simply embedded in bitumen and exposed to corrosion in a very short time, particularly when used in airports, roadways and the like, as early as 1937 m US 209 50 61 A revealed that the dowels were in sleeves would have to be accommodated, which should have a corresponding longitudinal extensibility in the area of the joints. This elasticity, a division of the sleeves with overlap, makes it possible to use them only in expansion joints. A variant with a radial bead arranged on the equator and a spherical cover with openings for the dowels slid on there is provided for use in crunching joints. In this case, the shell extends over the entire length of the anchor and has longitudinal slots in the central area, which is protected by the spherical cover, and is slightly curved in this area in order to be able to follow the movements of the concrete fields. Caps are attached to the ends of the dowels, which have recesses through which reinforcement rings can be inserted, which run parallel to the joint and thus hold the dowels in place.
Diese Abdeckungen bzw. Kappen bieten keinerlei Widerstand gegen das Eindringen von Feuchtigkeit und setzen die Dübel nahezu ungehindert der Korrosion aus.These covers or caps offer no resistance to the ingress of moisture and expose the dowels to corrosion almost unhindered.
Aus der DE 35 39 287 A ist eine Scherbewehrung bekannt, bei der ein Rundstahl oder Rundeisen von einer mehrfach in sich getrennten Kunststoffhülse überzogen ist. Auch dieser Dübelaufbau liefert keinerlei Schutz gegen das Auftreten von Korrosion.From DE 35 39 287 A a shear reinforcement is known in which a round steel or round bar is covered by a multiply separate plastic sleeve. This dowel structure also provides no protection against the occurrence of corrosion.
Die EP 0 633 356 A, entsprechend dem DE G 931 01 29.5 U, offenbart einen Fugendubel , der aus einem Grundelement aus Rundmetall und einer Kunststoffhülle besteht, wobei die Kunststoffhülle als geschlossene Einheit in Axialrichtung länger und im Durchmesser größer a.ls das Grundelement ist und wobei die Kunststoffhülle mindestens eine Knautschzone aufweist .EP 0 633 356 A, corresponding to DE G 931 01 29.5 U, discloses a joint dowel which consists of a base element made of round metal and a plastic casing, the Plastic envelope as a closed unit is longer in the axial direction and larger in diameter than the basic element and the plastic envelope has at least one crumple zone.
Es wird dieser Fugendübel als geeignet für Dehn-, Schnitt-, Bewegungs- oder Tagesfugen bezeichnet, doch macht die Notwendigkeit, eine Knautschzone in der Kunststoffhülle vorzusehen, diesen Dübel tatsächlich nur für Raumfugen geeignet, da die Knautschzone zumindest im wesentlichen außerhalb beider Betondeckenteile liegen muß, um ihre Funktion erfüllen können.This joint anchor is said to be suitable for expansion, cutting, movement or day joints, but the necessity to provide a crumple zone in the plastic envelope actually makes this anchor only suitable for room joints, since the crumple zone must be at least essentially outside of both concrete ceiling parts to perform their function.
Es besteht somit ein Bedarf an der Schaffung eines Fu- gendübels, der sowohl für Raum- als auch für Scheinfugen verwendet werden kann und der die an ihn gestellten Anforderungen betreffend Lebensdauer und Festigkeit erfüllt.There is therefore a need to create a joint anchor that can be used for both space and dummy joints and that meets the requirements placed on it in terms of durability and strength.
Die Erfindung bezweckt, einen solchen Fugendübel zu schaf- fen und erreicht diese Ziele dadurch, daß die Kunststoffhülle aus zumindest zwei Teilen besteht, die zumindestens im wesentlichen in der Mitte der Längserstreckung des Fugendübels einander gegenüber stehen und in diesem Bereich von einem in Umfangsrichtung auf Zug beanspruchten Kunst- stoffschlauch umgeben sind, wobei die zumindest zwei Teile der Kunststoffhülse an ihrer äußeren Oberfläche vorstehende und rückspringende Bereiche aufweisen.The invention aims to create such a joint dowel and achieves these goals in that the plastic casing consists of at least two parts which are at least essentially opposite each other in the middle of the longitudinal extension of the joint dowel and in this area from one in the circumferential direction to tension claimed plastic hose are surrounded, wherein the at least two parts of the plastic sleeve have protruding and recessed areas on its outer surface.
Durch die erfindungsgemäßen Maßnahmen wird sichergestellt, daß jede der Kunststoffhüllen eines erfindungsgemäßen Dübels formschlüssig von demjenigen der beiden Betonfeldern, in dem sie sich befindet, festgehalten wird und die Bewegung dieses Betonfeldes zuverlässig mitmachen.The measures according to the invention ensure that each of the plastic casings of a dowel according to the invention is positively held by that of the two concrete fields in which it is located and that the movement of this concrete field reliably takes part.
Durch den Kunststoffschlauch, der vor der Montage einen Innendurchmesser aufweist, der kleiner ist als der Außendurchmesser der Kunststoffhülle in diesem Bereich und der somit im montierten Zustand im Umfangsrichtung auf Zug beansprucht ist, wird sichergestellt, daß beim Vergießen des vormontierten Dübels bzw. beim Einlegen in den flüssigen Beton keine Fremdkörper ins Innere der Kunststoffhülle gelangen können. Bevorzugt wird der Kunststoffschlauch aus Silikonmaterial (auch als Silikon bezeichnet, insbesondere als Silikonkautschuk) gefertigt und ist in der Lage, extreme Längendehnungen zu ertragen, auch wenn sich diese oft und oft wiederholen.Due to the plastic hose, which has an inner diameter before assembly, which is smaller than the outer diameter of the plastic sleeve in this area and is thus subjected to tension in the assembled state in the circumferential direction, it is ensured that no foreign bodies can get into the interior of the plastic casing when the pre-assembled dowel is poured or when it is inserted into the liquid concrete. The plastic tube is preferably made of silicone material (also referred to as silicone, in particular as silicone rubber) and is able to endure extreme elongations, even if these are repeated often and often.
Es ist auf diese Weise sichergestellt, daß der eigentliche Dübel, der Stahlstab (oder aus einem anderen Metall oder hochfestem Kunststoff bestehende Stab- im Inneren der Kunststoffhülle sich in der Kunststo hülle bewegt und diese gegenüber dem jeweiligen Betonfeld unbeweglich bleibt . Dies ist eine Grundvoraussetzung zum Erhalt der Dichtheit des Gesamtsystems und damit zum Verhindern der Korrosion.In this way it is ensured that the actual dowel, the steel rod (or a rod made of another metal or high-strength plastic - moves inside the plastic shell in the plastic shell and that it remains immobile in relation to the respective concrete field. This is a basic requirement for Maintaining the tightness of the overall system and thus preventing corrosion.
Das bevorzugt verwendete Silikonmaterial ist ein hochpoly- meres, vernetztes Polysiloxan, gegebenenfalls mit anorganischen Füllstoffen. Ein derartiges Produkt ist von der Fa. Rehau unter der Bezeichnung RAU-SIK erhältlich.The silicone material used with preference is a high polymer, cross-linked polysiloxane, optionally with inorganic fillers. Such a product is available from Rehau under the name RAU-SIK.
Gemäß einer besonders bevorzugten Variante der Erfindung besteht die Kunststoffhülle aus zwei gleich aufgebauten Teilen und die vorragenden bzw. zurückspringenden Oberflächenteile sind entlang von mindestens drei, bevorzugt vier, gegebenenfalls auch mehr, sich in axialer Richtung erstreckenden Rippen angeordnet.According to a particularly preferred variant of the invention, the plastic casing consists of two parts of the same structure and the protruding or recessed surface parts are arranged along at least three, preferably four, possibly also more, ribs extending in the axial direction.
In einer vorteilhaf en Variante enden diese Rippen auf der ■ Seite der offenen Hüllenenden im Abstand von den Hüllenenden, so daß der Kunststoffschlauch auf eine glatte zylin- drische Mantelfläche aufgesteckt werden kann, wobei gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung die richtige axiale Lage des KunststoffSchlauches durch eine nach außen ragende Um- fangsschulter markiert und gesichert wird.In an advantageous variant, these ribs end on the ■ side of the open casing ends at a distance from the casing ends, so that the plastic tube can be plugged onto a smooth cylindrical outer surface, the correct axial position according to a preferred embodiment of the plastic hose is marked and secured by an outwardly protruding circumferential shoulder.
Die Erfindung wird im folgenden unter Bezugnahme auf die Zeichnung näher erläutert . Dabei zeigt die Figur 1 eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Fugendübels in einer Seitenansicht, teilweise im Schnitt und einer Stirnansicht, die Figur 2a eine erfindungsgemäße Montageplatte m Drauf- sieht und die Fig. 2b die erfindungsgemäße Montageplatte m drei Schnittansichten.The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing. 1 shows a preferred embodiment of the joint anchor according to the invention in a side view, partly in section and an end view, FIG. 2a shows a mounting plate m according to the invention and FIG. 2b shows the mounting plate according to the invention in three sectional views.
Ein m seiner Gesamtheit mit 1 bezeichneter erfmdungsge- maßer Fugendübel besteht aus zwei Kunststoffhüllen 2, die an eweils einem Ende einen Boden 3 emstύckig mit ihnen ausgebildet haben und am anderen Ende offen enden.A joint dowel according to the invention, designated 1 in its entirety, consists of two plastic sleeves 2, which at one end have a base 3 formed integrally with them and open at the other end.
Entlang Erzeugender der Kunststoffhüllen 2 sind gleichma- ßig um den Umfang verteilt vier Rippen 5 angeordnet. DieseFour ribs 5 are arranged uniformly around the circumference along the generatrix of the plastic sleeves 2. This
Rippen sind an ihren äußeren Oberflächen nicht glatt ausgebildet, sondern weisen vorragende Bereiche 6 und rück- sprmgende Bereiche 7 auf. Diese Rippen 5 erstrecken sich vom Boden 3 ausgehend über den größeren Teil der Lange der Kunststoffhülle 2, enden aber im Abstand vom offenen Ende 8 der Kunststoffhülle 2.Ribs are not smooth on their outer surfaces, but have protruding areas 6 and recessed areas 7. These ribs 5 extend from the bottom 3 over the greater part of the length of the plastic casing 2, but end at a distance from the open end 8 of the plastic casing 2.
Vom diesem offenen Ende 8 der Kunststoffhülle 2 ausgehend weist diese eine glatte zylindrische Oberfläche auf, die m einem vorbestimmten Abstand vom freien Ende 8 in eineStarting from this open end 8 of the plastic sleeve 2, this has a smooth cylindrical surface which m a predetermined distance from the free end 8 in a
Ringwulst oder Ringschulter 9 übergeht. Zwischen dieser Ringschulter 9 und dem Boden 3 erstrecken sich die Rippen 5.Ring bead or ring shoulder 9 passes over. The ribs 5 extend between this annular shoulder 9 and the base 3.
Im wesentlichen über die gesamte axiale Erstreckung zwischen den beiden Ringschultern 9 der beiden Kunststoffhui - len 2 erstreckt sich im fertigmontierten Zustand ein Kunststoffschlauch 10. Dieser Kunststoffschlauch ist im montierten Zustand, wie er m der Figur 1 dargestellt ist, m Umfangsrichtung leicht gedehnt (elastisch vorgespannt) und liegt daher eng und dicht auf der äußeren Oberfläche der Kunststoffhüllen 2 im Bereich zwischen den Schultern 9 auf .In the fully assembled state, it extends essentially over the entire axial extent between the two ring shoulders 9 of the two plastic shells 2 Plastic hose 10. In the assembled state, as shown in FIG. 1, this plastic hose is slightly stretched in the circumferential direction (elastically pretensioned) and is therefore tight and tight on the outer surface of the plastic sleeves 2 in the area between the shoulders 9.
Der Kunststoffschlauch 10 besteht bevorzugt aus Silikon oder einem anderen Kunststoffmaterial mit großer Dehnfä- higkeit und kann daher beim Aufreissen der Fuge (wenn er nicht im Bereich einer Raumfuge eingesetzt wird) auch über den geringen dann freikommenden axialen Bereich sehr große Langenanderungen ertragen. Silikon oder anderes zu verwendende Material ist auch m der Lage, derartige Lan- genanderungen und deren Rückverformung nahezu beliebig oft zu ertragen, das Material ist diesbezüglich dauerfest.The plastic hose 10 is preferably made of silicone or another plastic material with great elasticity and can therefore withstand very large changes in length when the joint is torn open (if it is not used in the area of a space joint) even over the small axial area that is then released. Silicone or other material to be used is also able to endure such changes in length and their reshaping almost as often as required; the material is durable in this regard.
Im Inneren der beiden so miteinander m geringem axialen Abstand verbundenen Kunststoffhüllen 2 befindet sich der eigentliche metallische oder aus hochfestem Kunststoff bestehende Dübel 4, der j e nach Verwendung entsprechend der zuständmgen Norm noch korrosionsgeschutzt sein kann. Üblicherweise füllt er im montagebereiten Zustand den Innenraum der beiden Kunststoffhüllen 2 m axialer Lange zur Ganze aus, er erhält bei Knirschfugen sein axiales Spiel nur über das Schwinden des Betons wahrend dessen Trocknung .Inside the two plastic sheaths 2 connected to each other with a small axial distance is the actual metallic or high-strength plastic dowel 4, which, depending on the use, can still be protected against corrosion in accordance with the relevant standard. Usually, when it is ready for installation, it fills the interior of the two plastic sleeves 2 m in axial length to the whole; in the case of crunching joints, it only receives its axial play via the shrinkage of the concrete during its drying.
Es selbstverständlich möglich, einen erfindungsgemäßen Dü- bei auch anders als abgebildet auszugestalten: So kann die Anzahl der Rippen 5 geändert werden, es kann der Boden 3 der Kunststoffhüllen 2 angeklebt oder angeschweißt werden, es kann dieser Boden napfartig ausgebildet sein und über die dann als Rohr ausgebildete Kunststo fhulle geschoben werden, wobei auch dann die Verbindung durch elastische Deformation, durch Vorsehen entsprechender elastisch zu verbiegender Bauelemente (widerhakenartig) erfolgen kann. Es kann schließlich auch statt der Rippen 5 eine Oberflächentextlerung vorgesehen werden, doch wird dies wegen der komplizierten Herstellung nicht bevorzugt.It is of course possible to design a nozzle according to the invention differently from that shown: the number of ribs 5 can be changed, the bottom 3 of the plastic sleeves 2 can be glued or welded on, this bottom can be cup-shaped and then used as a Tube trained plastic sleeve are pushed, the connection can then be made by elastic deformation, by providing appropriate elastically bendable components (barb-like). Finally, surface texturing can also be provided instead of the ribs 5, but this is not preferred because of the complicated production.
Es kann die Ringschulter 9 anders als abgebildet ausgebildet sein oder überhaupt weggelassen werden, wodurch die Enden der Rippen 5 oder andere vorspringende Elemente der Kunststoffhülle 2 die Fixierung und Justierung des KunststoffSchlauches 10 übernehmen, bei geeigneten Montagewerk- zeugen kann auf die Anordnung solcher Justierhilfen überhaupt verzichtet werden.The annular shoulder 9 can be designed differently from the illustration or can be omitted at all, as a result of which the ends of the ribs 5 or other projecting elements of the plastic sleeve 2 take over the fixing and adjustment of the plastic tube 10; with suitable assembly tools, the arrangement of such adjustment aids can be dispensed with at all become.
Es ist auch denkbar, über dem (außerhalb des) Kunststoff- schlauch(es) 10 eine mechanische Schutzhülle anzuordnen, die es auch ermöglicht, daß sich Langenanderungen des KunststoffSchlauches 10 gleichmäßiger als beim oben beschriebenen Beispiel über dessen gesamte Länge verteilen.It is also conceivable to arrange a mechanical protective cover over the (outside) the plastic hose (es) 10, which also makes it possible for length changes in the plastic hose 10 to be distributed more uniformly over its entire length than in the example described above.
Es ist auch möglich, den eigentlichen Fugendübel, nämlich den Stab 4, kürzer als die freie Innenlänge des fertig montierten Fugendübels auszubilden, so daß er mit Luft m der Kunststoffhülle steckt, es ist anderseits auch möglich ihn etwas länger auszubilden, so daß die offenen Enden 8 der beiden Kunststoffhüllen 2 einander nicht berühren bzw. nicht unmittelbar aneinanderstoßen.It is also possible to design the actual joint dowel, namely the rod 4, shorter than the free inner length of the fully assembled joint dowel, so that it is stuck with air in the plastic casing, on the other hand it is also possible to form it a little longer, so that the open ends 8 of the two plastic sleeves 2 do not touch each other or do not directly touch each other.
In einer bevorzugten Variante wird als eigentlicher Dübel 4 ein KunststoffStab oder ein Meatllrohr oder eine Kombination davon verwendet, wobei auch eine Kunststoffbe- Schichtung auf einem Metallstab vorgesehen sein kann. Der Grund dafür ist, daß die Dichte des gesamten Dübels, samt Kunststoffhüllen und Kunststoffschlauch, zumindest im wesentlichen (zwischen dem 0,8-fachen und dem 1,25-fachen) an die Dichte des nassen Betons angeglichen wird und m einer Variante zwischen 2500 kg/m3 und 3700 kg/m3 liegt, um zu verhindern, daß der Dübel im noch nassen Beton, insbesondere während dessen Verdichtung durch Virbration, auf den Boden sinkt . Diese Maßnahme ist besonders bei einzeln m den noch nassen Beton verlegten Dübeln wichtig.In a preferred variant, a plastic rod or a metal tube or a combination thereof is used as the actual dowel 4, it also being possible to provide a plastic coating on a metal rod. The reason for this is that the density of the entire anchor, including plastic sleeves and plastic hose, is at least essentially (between 0.8 times and 1.25 times) matched to the density of the wet concrete and in a variant between 2500 kg / m 3 and 3700 kg / m 3 , in order to prevent the dowel in the still wet concrete, in particular during its compaction by virbration, sinks to the floor. This measure is particularly important for anchors that are laid individually while the concrete is still wet.
Der erfmdungsgemaße Fugendubel 1 wird bevorzugt, wie in Fig. 2a und 2b schematisch dargestellt, folgendermaßen montiert: Es wird der Kunststoffschlauch 10 kurz über die Kunststoffhüllen 2 geschoben und es wird sodann der Dübel 1 auf einem brettartigen Arbeitsplatz bzw. einer Montageplatte 14 zwischen zwei seitliche Erhebungen 12, die auf- einander zulaufen, eingelegt (Position I) . Sodann wird er m der Richtung, m der die beiden seitlichen Erhebungen 12 aufeinander zulaufen, rollend fortbewegt, wobei m dem Bereich, m dem sich der Kunststoffschlauch 10 befindet, eine Vertiefung bzw Rille 13 vorgesehen ist Durch das Auflaufen auf die seitlichen schräg aufeinander zulaufenden Erhebungen 12 werden die beiden Kunststoffhullen 2 m die Mitte gedrangt und deformieren den Kunststoffschlauch 10 balgartig (Position II) .The joint dowel 1 according to the invention is preferably assembled as follows, as shown schematically in FIGS. 2a and 2b: the plastic hose 10 is pushed briefly over the plastic sleeves 2 and then the dowel 1 is placed on a board-like work station or a mounting plate 14 between two lateral ones Elevations 12, which converge, inserted (position I). It is then moved in a rolling manner in the direction in which the two lateral elevations 12 converge, a recess or groove 13 being provided in the area in which the plastic tube 10 is located by running onto the lateral elevations that converge obliquely 12, the two plastic sleeves are pushed 2 m into the middle and deform the plastic tube 10 like a bellows (position II).
Noch bevor die beiden Kunststoffhüllen 2 so aneinander genähert sind, wie es der Position III entsprichtEven before the two plastic sleeves 2 are approached to one another as corresponds to position III
(fertigmontierter Dübel) endet die Rille 13 (auslaufend) , so daß von unten her m radialer Richtung ein Druck auf den Kunststoffschlauch 10 ausgeübt wird, der bei der dre- henden Bewegung des Dübels entlang des Umfangs fortlaufend m einem schmalen Bereich wirkt Durch diesen Druck, verbunden mit dem seitlichen Druck und der balgartigen Verformung, wird der Kunststoffschlauch dazu gebracht, praktisch schlagartig über die Kunststoffhullen 2 zu springen und wieder seine im wesentlichen kreiszylmder- formige Gestalt anzunehmen. Beim weiteren axialen Auf- emanderzuschieben der Kunststoffhullen 2 wird durch seine geringe Reibung der Kunststoffschlauch 10 durch das Ab¬ rollen am nunmehr glatten Untergrund m seine Endposition gebracht und der Dübel ist fertig montiere Interessanterweise wird bei dieser erfindungsgemäßen Montageform kein Überdruck im Dübel gebildet, sondern es entsteht durch das stoßartige Ausbringen der Luft im Balg ein geringer Unterdruck innerhalb des von den beiden Kunststoffhüllen 2 und dem Kunststoffschlauch 10 gebildeten Umhüllung, was zur mechanischen Stabilität des erfindungsgemäßen Fugendübels beiträgt. (fully assembled dowel), the groove 13 ends (tapering), so that pressure is exerted from below in the radial direction in the radial direction on the plastic hose 10, which continuously acts in a narrow area as the dowel rotates along the circumference due to this pressure , combined with the lateral pressure and the bellows-like deformation, the plastic hose is caused to jump suddenly over the plastic sleeves 2 and to resume its essentially circular-cylindrical shape. Upon further axial up the Kunststoffhullen emanderzuschieben 2 ¬ roll by its low friction of the plastic tubing 10 by the Ab on the now smooth surface m brought its end position and the anchor is ready Assemble Interestingly, no overpressure is formed in the dowel in this assembly form according to the invention, but rather a slight underpressure arises from the abrupt discharge of the air in the bellows within the envelope formed by the two plastic sleeves 2 and the plastic hose 10, which contributes to the mechanical stability of the joint dowel according to the invention.
