Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for connecting two at least approximately perpendicularly adjoining wooden beams, which are provided in both wooden beams engaging screws.
  • Bel another known embodiment (DE-U-298 05 784) is concerned with a screw for fixing slats of wood on an existing, inter alia, wooden roof or wall substructure, here also perpendicular to each other crossing wooden beams or parallel aligned and superimposed wooden beams are to be connected to each other.
  • An oblique screwing the screws in the attachment of roof battens on an underlying beam is because the screws should not be used directly at the end of the roof battens and also need to penetrate a corresponding amount of length of the screws in the underlying wooden beams.
  • the present invention has set itself the task of providing a method with which a connection can be achieved, which allows optimum power transmission at least approximately perpendicular to each other wooden beams using screws.
  • a method for joining two wooden beams at least approximately at right angles to one another by means of screws inserted in both wooden beams, wherein a wooden beam formed as a secondary beam butt against the wooden beam formed as a main support, wherein at least two screws lying in two mutually parallel planes are used , which are screwed in crossing, the screws are used in the one wooden beam in parallel to the grain direction planes and thus in the other wooden beam right or acute angle to the fiber direction, and wherein the screws in each case in parallel aligned planes and in a are screwed lying horizontally from two perpendicular to these planes, wherein the two perpendicular to the other planes extending two planes to each other a right or slightly deviating from a right angle m they each include and wherein the screws lying in the successive planes are each screwed in from opposite directions and thus intersect each other.
  • the screws are used in planes lying parallel to one another, these planes running in one heatable parallel to the fiber direction and in the other wooden beam transversely to the fiber direction.
  • the compound produced by the method according to the invention thus relies on the possibility of the assumption of tensile and compressive forces by the screws, so that substantially higher values can be achieved here than can be achieved with an exclusive pin-groove connection or by nail connections , It is therefore to be regarded as particularly advantageous that the two aligned at least approximately at right angles to each other planes and thus aligned in accordance with these levels screws annahemd on half the height of the beam or the smaller in height beam. So that is an optimal connection of two at least approximately at right angles adjoining wooden beams possible.
  • the present invention relates to a method for joining two wooden beams 1 and 2 adjoining each other at least approximately at right angles, using wood screws 3 which engage threaded sections in both wooden beams 1 and 2.
  • Such compounds are usually there, where referred to as the main carrier, in cross-section larger wooden beams 1 are present, are connected to soft in cross-section garare, designated as a hub carrier wooden beam 2.
  • a hub carrier wooden beam 2 In the context of the invention, it is of course possible in principle to use such a connection wherever at least approximately perpendicular adjoining wooden beams 1 and 2 are present, it is indifferent to whether both wooden beams 1 and 2 the same height or even the same Have cross section or if necessary, the cross section of the wooden beam 2 is greater than the cross section of the wooden beam first
  • two screws 3 are used. These two screws 3 are in mutually parallel planes 4 and 5, so that the screws 3 in the one wooden beam 1 right or acute angle to the bevel direction and engage in the other wooden beams 2, this level 4 and 5 parallel to the grain direction.
  • the screws 3 are also in perpendicular to the planes 4 and 5 extending planes 6 and 7, so that the screws 3 are screwed to each other crossing, but extend in the spaced-apart planes 4 and 5.
  • the two levels 8 and 7 are approximately at right angles to each other, so that the screws 3 are screwed approximately crossing at right angles. It is also contemplated that the lying in the successive levels 4 and 5 screws 3 are screwed in from opposite directions, so that once the head 8 of a screw 3 is assigned to the wooden beams 2 and once the wooden beams 1.
  • Cross wooden beam 1.2 It is advantageous if these two levels 6 and 7 and thus also the screws 3 here annahemd cross at half the height of the beams 1 and 2 or in the present case at half the height of the smaller in height beam 2. It is thus concentrated at a corresponding load of the wooden beams 1 and 2, the area of the largest power transmission between the two beams on the central region of the height of the beam 2, so that just from an optimal power transmission is possible.
  • screws which have two threaded sections as in the illustrated embodiment, on the one hand facing the screw tip and on the other hand, the screw head. But it would also be possible to provide a continuous thread. Further, screws can be used in which two threaded portions are provided with different threaded engagement, thereby still achieve a mutual contact force between the wooden beams 1 and 2.
  • the screws shown in the drawings have a kind of drilling part to reduce the risk of splitting the wooden beams when screwing in the screws. In the context of the invention, it would also be conceivable to use screws 3, in which the threaded portions have different diameters, that is, the threaded portion, which faces the head of the screw, would have a slightly larger diameter.
