The sides formed by the recess are bent from a base surface (2) so that they are received between the holding profile of the clamping profile when the cross connector is placed with its base surface parallel to the base surface of the clamping profile to rotate the cross connector by 90degrees. Preferred Features: The sides are bent at the same distance which is less than the diameter of the holding profile.

Description

Die Erfindung richtet sich auf einen Kreuzverbinder zum Verbinden eines Klemmprofils für Langfeldplatten oder Kassetten mit einem C-Profil einer Tragekonstruktion, wobei das Klemmprofil eine Klemmanordnung an der Unterseite und ein Halteprofil an der Oberseite umfasst, und wobei der Kreuzverbinder eine schlüssellochartige Ausnehmung korrespondierend zu dem Halteprofil des Klemmprofils und einen Biegeabschnitt aufweist, der über einen Schenkel des C-Profils umbiegbar ist.The invention is directed to a cross connector for connecting a clamping profile for long-field panels or cassettes with a C-profile of a support structure, wherein the clamping profile comprises a clamping arrangement on the underside and a retaining profile on the top, and wherein the cross-connector a keyhole-like recess corresponding to the retaining profile of the clamping profile and a bending portion which can be bent over a leg of the C-profile.

Ein gattungsgemäßer Kreuzverbinder ist aus US-A-3 417 535 bekannt. Dieser Kreuzverbinder weist einen Grundkörper auf, der in sich um 90° verdreht ist.A generic cross connector is known from US-A-3 417 535. This cross connector has a base body which is twisted by 90 ° in itself.

Kreuzverbinder zum Verbinden zweier senkrecht zueinander verlaufender C-Profile mit einem Biegeabschnitt sind auch aus DE 94 01 415 U1 bekannt.Cross connectors for connecting two mutually perpendicular C-profiles with a bending section are also known from DE 94 01 415 U1.

Weiterhin sind gattungsgemäße Kreuzverbinder bekannt, welche bei der Montage mittels der schlüssellochartigen Ausnehmung auf ein Halteprofil mit der Ausnehmung entsprechendem Querschnitt aufgefädelt werden. Dabei müssen Aufschiebewege von 2 bis 3 m überwunden werden, was insbesondere beim Arbeiten über Kopf die Handhabung mühsam und langsam macht.Furthermore, generic cross connectors are known, which are threaded during assembly by means of the keyhole-like recess on a retaining profile with the recess corresponding cross-section. This push-up distances of 2 to 3 m must be overcome, which, especially when working overhead makes handling cumbersome and slow.

Hiervon ausgehend liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Kreuzverbinder der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, der die Montage vereinfacht und beschleunigt und insbesondere auch schon eine bequeme Vormontage am Boden ermöglicht.Proceeding from this, the present invention seeks to provide a cross connector of the type mentioned above, which simplifies and speeds up the assembly and in particular already allows a comfortable pre-assembly on the ground.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass der Kreuzverbinder einen plattenartigen, eine Grundebene definierenden Grundkörper aufweist, wobei durch die schlüssellochartige Ausnehmung gebildeten Schenkel des Kreuzverbinders beiderseits der Ausnehmung derart vom Grundkörper des Kreuzverbinders weg aufgebogen sind, dass sie zwischen sich das Halteprofil des Klemmprofils aufnehmen können, wenn der Kreuzverbinder mit seinem plattenartigen, die Grundebene definierenden Grundkörper parallel zur Grundebene des Klemmprofils auf das Halteprofil aufgesetzt wird, um den Kreuzverbinder dann um 90° zu verdrehen.This object is achieved in that the cross connector has a plate-like, a ground plane defining base, wherein formed by the keyhole-like recess legs of the cross connector on either side of the recess are bent away from the body of the cross connector away so that they can hold the holding profile of the clamping profile between them , When the cross connector is placed with its plate-like, the ground plane defining body parallel to the ground plane of the clamping profile on the retaining profile to then rotate the cross connector by 90 °.

Dabei ist vorteilhafterweise insbesondere vorgesehen, dass die Schenkel mit einem derartigen Abstand zueinander aufgebogen sind, dass dieser etwas kleiner ist als der Durchmesser des Halteprofils, so dass die Schenkel im Wege der Vormontage auf das Halteprofil aufrastbar sind und dementsprechend dort unverlierbar festgelegt sind.In this case, it is advantageously provided in particular that the legs are bent with such a distance from each other that this is slightly smaller than the diameter of the holding profile, so that the legs are aufrastbar by way of pre-assembly on the retaining profile and are accordingly fixed there captive.

Nachfolgend wird die Erfindung anhand eines bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiels in Verbindung mit der Zeichnung näher erläutert. Dabei zeigen:

Ein in der Zeichnung dargestellter erfindungsgemäßer Kreuzverbinder 1 umfasst einen plattenartigen, eine Grundebene definierenden Grundkörper 2, an dessen unterem Ende 3 von der Unterkante 4 her eine schlüssellochförmige Ausnehmung 5 eingebracht ist, durch welche beiderseits derselben Schenkel 6, 7 ausgebildet werden.An inventive cross connector 1 shown in the drawing comprises a plate-like base body 2 defining a base plane, at the lower end 3 of which a keyhole-shaped recess 5 is made from the lower edge 4, through which the same leg 6, 7 is formed on both sides.

An der Oberseite 8 ist ein Biegeabschnitt 9 ausgebildet, der in der DE 94 01 415.9 U 1 näher beschrieben wird.At the top 8 a bending section 9 is formed, which is described in DE 94 01 415.9 U 1 in more detail.

Wie aus Fig. 2 deutlich wird, sind die beiden Schenkel 6, 7 gegenüber der Ebene des Grundkörpers 2 seitlich aufgebogen, so dass sie zueinander einen Abstand A aufweisen.As is clear from Fig. 2, the two legs 6, 7 are bent laterally relative to the plane of the base body 2, so that they have a distance A to each other.

Ein C-Profil 10 einer Tragekonstruktion ist im Querschnitt annähernd U-förmig und weist einen U-Boden 11 sowie seitliche U-Schenkel 12, 13 auf, wobei die U-Schenkel 12, 13 an der Oberseite Umbiegungen 14 aufweisen.A C-profile 10 of a support structure is approximately U-shaped in cross-section and has a U-bottom 11 and lateral U-legs 12, 13, wherein the U-legs 12, 13 on the upper side bends 14 have.

Ein ebenfalls in Fig. 3 und 4 dargestelltes Rastprofil 15 umfasst ein Halteprofil 16 mit einem Querschnitt entsprechend der Ausnehmung 5 und eine Klemmanordnung 17 zum klemmenden Befestigen von Metall-Kassetten für Decken.A detent profile 15, likewise shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, comprises a retaining profile 16 with a cross-section corresponding to the recess 5 and a clamping arrangement 17 for clamping metal cassettes for ceilings.

Aus Fig. 3 und 4 ist erkennbar, dass der erfindungsgemäße Kreuzverbinder 1 an dem einen Schenkel 12 des C-Profils 10 durch Umbiegen des Biegeabschnitts 9 derart festgelegt ist, dass das untere Ende 3 des Kreuzverbinders 1 mit der Ausnehmung 5 über den U-Boden 11 des C-Profils 10 hinausragt.From Fig. 3 and 4 it can be seen that the cross connector 1 according to the invention is fixed to the one leg 12 of the C-profile 10 by bending the bending section 9 such that the lower end 3 of the cross connector 1 with the recess 5 on the U-bottom 11 of the C-profile 10 protrudes.

In dem in Fig. 3 und 4 dargestellten fertig montierten Zustand verläuft das C-Profil 10 senkrecht zu dem Klemmprofil 15.In the fully assembled state illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 4, the C-profile 10 runs perpendicular to the clamping profile 15.

Zur Montage wird der Kreuzverbinder 1 mit seinem Grundkörper 2 parallel zur Längsrichtung des Klemmprofils 15, also in einer Position des Kreuzverbinders 1 wie sie in Fig. 2 dargestellt ist und einer Position des Klemmprofils 15, wie es in Fig. 3 dargestellt ist, auf das Halteprofil 16 unter elastischer Aufweitung des Abstandes A zwischen den Schenkeln 6, 7 aufgerastet und dann in die in Fig. 3 dargestellte Position des Kreuzverbinders verdreht. Es ist dann auch noch eine Korrektur der Positionierung durch Verschieben in herkömmlicher Weise möglich.For mounting the cross connector 1 with its base body 2 parallel to the longitudinal direction of the clamping profile 15, ie in a position of the cross connector 1 as shown in Fig. 2 and a position of the clamping profile 15, as shown in Fig. 3, on the Holding profile 16 under elastic Widening of the distance A between the legs 6, 7 snapped and then rotated in the position shown in Fig. 3 position of the cross connector. It is then also a correction of the positioning by moving in a conventional manner possible.

Nach dieser auf einfache Weise zu bewerkstelligenden Vormontage erfolgt die Montage am C-Profil durch Umbiegen des Biegeabschnitts 9 über einen Schenkel 12 des C-Profils 10.After this to be accomplished in a simple manner pre-assembly of the C-profile is carried out by bending the bending section 9 via a leg 12 of the C-profile 10th
