Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Dachrinnen-Anschlussstück nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a gutter connector according to the preamble of claim 1.

Aus der EP - A - 1 031 676 ist ein gattungsgemäßes Anschlussstück bekannt.From the EP-A-1 031 676 is a generic connector known.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein gattungsgemäßes Dachrinnen-Anschtussstück dahingehend zu verbessern, dass es zuverlässig einen festen Sitz an der Dachrinne und, falls gewünscht, einen möglichst dichten Anschluss an die Dachrinne gewährleistet.The invention has for its object to improve a generic gutter-Anschtussstück to the effect that it reliably ensures a tight fit on the gutter and, if desired, a possible tight connection to the gutter.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch ein Dachrinnen-Anschlussstück mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by a gutter connector with the features of claim 1.

Die Erfindung schlägt mit anderen Worten vor, das vordere Ende des Streifens so lang bzw. groß auszugestalten, dass dieses den freien Innenraum der Dachrinnen-Wulst vollständig durchquert. Auf diese Weise ist sichergestellt, dass sich das vordere Ende gegen den Außenabschnitt der Wulst abstützt und somit bereits bei dem gegenüberliegenden Wandungsabschnitt der Wulst sicherstellt, dass dort der Streifen des Anschlussstückes an der Dachrinne anliegt. Auf diese Weise wird eine optimale Dichtigkeit und eine möglichst großflächige Anlage der Dichtung an der Dachrinne ermöglicht, wenn diese gewünscht ist, z.B. wenn es als Verbindungselement zwei Rinnenabschnitte miteinander verbindet, oder wenn es als Endstück das offene Rinnenprofil an einem der beiden Stirnenden der Dachrinne abschließt.In other words, the invention proposes designing the front end of the strip so that it completely traverses the free interior space of the gutter bead. In this way it is ensured that the front end is supported against the outer portion of the bead and thus ensures already at the opposite wall portion of the bead that there is the strip of the fitting rests against the gutter. In this way, an optimal tightness and a possible large-scale investment of the seal on the gutter is possible if this is desired, for example when it joins two channel sections as a connecting element, or if it terminates as an end of the open channel profile at one of the two ends of the gutter ,

Am hinteren Ende der Rinne soll das Anschlussstück die Rinne umgreifen. Dabei soll insbesondere der dort vorgesehene Falz der Rinne, die sogenannte "Nase", von dem Anschlussstück umgriffen werden. Hierdurch wird vorteilhaft ein vergleichsweise großer Biegeradius in diesem hinteren Bereich des Anschlussstückes geschaffen, welcher eine unerwünschte Materialschwächung des Anschlussstückes in diesem Bereich vermeidet und auch zu etwaigen Korrekturen erneut gelöst und wiederverwendet werden kann ohne zu brechen; dies insbesondere im Gegensatz zu Befestigungsmöglichkeiten, bei denen die Nase der Rinne entfernt oder flach an die Rinne angelegt oder aufgestellt wird, sodass bekannte Anschlussstücke, insbesondere aus der Praxis bekannte Rinnenverbinder, in diesem Bereich sehr scharfkantig um etwa 180° umgebogen werden müssen.At the rear end of the gutter, the connecting piece should surround the gutter. In particular, the fold of the channel provided there, the so-called "nose", should be encompassed by the connecting piece. As a result, a comparatively large bending radius is advantageously created in this rear region of the connecting piece, which avoids undesired material weakening of the connecting piece in this area and can also be redissolved and reused for any corrections without breaking; this in particular in contrast to mounting options in which the nose of the gutter is removed or placed flat on the gutter or placed so that known fittings, in particular known from practice gutter connector, must be bent in this area very sharp-edged by about 180 °.

Da sich das vorschlagsgemäße Anschlussstück in dem stabilsten Teil der Rinne abstützt, nämlich in der Wulst, und in diese Wulst regelrecht eingehängt bzw. eingehakt wird, ist sowohl ein fester Sitz des Anschlussstückes an der Rinne begünstigt als auch somit eine Dichtigkeit der Verbindungsstelle sichergestellt, falls das Anschlussstück für einen wasserdichten Anschluß an die Rinne vorgeshen ist. Insbesondere, wenn die Biegung am vorderen Ende des Anschlussstückes der Biegung der Rinnenwulst angepasst ist, bewirkt diese Biegung des Anschlussstückes eine verbesserte Stabilität dieses Anschlussstückes. Insbesondere wird eine spielfreie Festlegung an seiner Befestigungsstelle in der Rinnenwulst bewirkt, wodurch der zuverlässige Dichtsitz des Anschlussstückes über lange Zeit sichergestellt wird.Since the proposed fitting is supported in the most stable part of the channel, namely in the bead, and is literally hooked or hooked into this bead, both a tight fit of the connector is favored on the channel and thus ensures a tightness of the junction, if the connector is provided for a watertight connection to the gutter. In particular, when the bend at the front end of the fitting is adapted to the curvature of the channel bead, this bend in the fitting results in improved stability of this fitting. In particular, a play-free determination is effected at its attachment point in the Rinnenwulst, whereby the reliable sealing seat of the connection piece is ensured over a long time.

Vorteilhaft kann ein sicherer Sitz bzw. eine dichte Anlage des Anschlussstückes an der Rinnenaußenseite dadurch verstärkt werden, dass das Anschlussstück regelrecht um die Rinne gespannt wird. Hierzu kann im hintersten Ende des Anschlussstückes eine Spannhilfe vorgesehen sein. Im einfachsten Fall kann es sich dabei um ein Loch handeln, in welches ein Spannstift gesetzt werden kann, mittels welchem das hintere Ende um die Nase der Rinne gehebelt wird, sodass insgesamt das Anschlussstück dicht an die Rinnenaußenseite herangezogen wird.Advantageously, a secure seat or a tight contact of the connecting piece on the outside of the channel can be reinforced by the fact that the connecting piece is literally stretched around the channel. For this purpose, a tensioning aid can be provided in the rearmost end of the connecting piece. In the simplest case, this may be a hole into which a dowel pin can be placed, by means of which the rear end is levered around the nose of the channel, so that overall the connector is used close to the gutter outside.

Es kann vorteilhaft sein, das hintere Ende des Anschlussstücks durch entsprechende Schlitze in zwei oder mehr Laschen aufzuteilen, so daß diese einzeln umgebogen werden können. Dies erleichtert durch geringere aufzubringende Kräfte die Arbeit für den Anwender und ermöglicht eine optimale Anpassung an z.B. gebogen verlaufende Rinnenabschnitte, oder an höhenversetzt aneinander stoßende Rinnenabschnitte, wie dies in der Praxis nicht ausgeschlossen werden kann.It may be advantageous to divide the rear end of the fitting by corresponding slots in two or more tabs so that they can be individually bent. This facilitates the work for the user through lower applied forces and allows for optimal adaptation to e.g. curved gutter sections, or on height staggered abutting trough sections, as this can not be ruled out in practice.

Wenn eine Spannhilfe an einer dieser Laschen vorgesehen ist, kann zunächst diese Lasche gespannt und an der Nase des Rinnenabschnitts festgelegt werden, und anschließend können die eine oder die mehreren anderen Laschen - ggf. ohne Spannhilfe - um die Nase gebogen werden, um das Anschlussstück weiter festzulegen.If a clamping aid is provided on one of these tabs, this tab can first be stretched and fixed to the nose of the channel section, and then the one or more other tabs - possibly without tensioning aid - can be bent around the nose to the connector further set.

Wenn jede der Laschen mit einer Spannhilfe versehen ist, kann einerseits ein besonders fester Anpressdruck des Anschlussstückes an die Rinne ermöglicht werden, indem die einzelnen Laschen nacheinander gespannt werden und bei der nachfolgenden Lasche aufgrund der Vorspannkraft der jeweils vorher festgesetzten Lasche die Anpresskraft des Anschlussstückes an die Rinne noch verstärkt werden kann.If each of the tabs is provided with a tensioning aid, on the one hand a particularly firm contact pressure of the connection piece to the channel can be made possible by the individual tabs are tensioned one after the other and in the subsequent tab due to the biasing force of each previously set tab the contact pressure of the connector to the Gutter can be reinforced.

Vorteilhaft kann das hintere Ende des Anschlussstückes so kurz bemessen sein, dass es - etwa U-förmig um die Nase der Rinne umgebogen - nicht aufgrund seiner großen Länge nach innen in die Rinne überstehen muss, sondern etwa G-förmig in den Hohlraum unterhalb der Nase weitergefalzt werden kann. Auf diese Weise wird nicht nur ein hinderlicher Überstand in den lichten Freiraum der Rinne vermieden, sondern es wird auch eine besonders zuverlässige Festlegung dieses zweiten Endes an der Rinne sichergestellt, wodurch der zuverlässige Dichtsitz des Anschlussstückes weiterhin unterstützt wird.Advantageously, the rear end of the connecting piece can be dimensioned so short that it - about U-shaped bent over the nose of the channel - not due to its great length inside the gutter must survive, but about G-shaped into the cavity below the nose can be folded further. In this way, not only is a cumbersome projection in the clear space of the channel avoided, but it is also ensured a particularly reliable determination of this second end of the channel, whereby the reliable sealing seat of the connector is still supported.

Die zuverlässige Beibehaltung der um die Rinne gebogenen Form des montierten Anschlussstückes kann insbesondere bei Ausbildung des Anschlussstückes aus Metall bewirkt werden. Anschlussstücke aus anderen Materialien wie z.B. Kunststoff können aus demselben Grund einen Kern aus Metall aufweisen. Eine optimale optische Angleichung des Anschlussstückes kann dadurch bewirkt werden, das es aus demselben Werkstoff, z.B. aus demselben Metall besteht wie die Rinne.The reliable retention of the bent around the trough shape of the assembled connector can be effected in particular in the formation of the connector made of metal. Connectors made of other materials such. Plastic may have a metal core for the same reason. Optimal optical alignment of the fitting can be effected by making it of the same material, e.g. made of the same metal as the gutter.

Vorzugsweise kann das Anschlussstück mit einer an der Innenseite des Streifens versehenen Dichtung ausgestaltet sein. Hierdurch wird die Montage einer separaten, lose zu handhabenden Dichtung erübrigt und die Dichtigkeit der durch das Anschlussstück hergestellten Verbindung sichergestellt.Preferably, the connector may be configured with a seal provided on the inside of the strip. As a result, the installation of a separate, loose-to-handle seal is unnecessary and ensures the tightness of the connection made by the connector.

In Fig. 1 ist mit 1 allgemein ein Anschlussstück für einen Dachrinnenabschnitt 7 bezeichnet, welches als Streifen 2 aus Blech ausgestaltet ist. In Anpassung an die jeweilige Rinnenkonstruktion kann der Streifen 2 aus Kupfer, Zink oder verzinktem Stahlblech bestehen. Das Anschlussstück 1 dient als Rinnenverbinder zur wasserdichten Verbindung zweier benachbarter RinnenabschnitteIn Fig. 1, 1 generally designates a fitting for a gutter section 7, which is designed as a strip 2 made of sheet metal. In adaptation to the respective gutter construction, the strip 2 may consist of copper, zinc or galvanized sheet steel. The connector 1 serves as a channel connector for watertight connection of two adjacent channel sections

In der Darstellung rechts bzw. oben weist der Streifen 2 ein sogenanntes vorderes Ende 3 auf. Das vorderes Ende 3 schließt an den übrigen Teil des Streifens 2 an, der dem Rinnenabschnitt 7 anliegt, und verläuft bis zu einem Winkel von mehr als 180° gegenüber diesem Streifen 2. In Anpassung an eine Wulst 8 des Rinnenabschnittes 7 verläuft das vordere Ende 3 mit einem zu seinem freien Ende kleiner werdenden Radius gebogen und ist so weit von dem Streifen 2 abgebogen, dass es den freien Innenraum der Wulst 8 völlig durchquert und innen an einem Außenabschnitt 10 der Wulst 8 anliegt. Das vorderes Ende 3 übt dadurch einen Anpressdruck aus, mit welchem der Streifen 2 dem Rinnenabschnitt 7 entweder bereits in der Wulst 8 oder in dem Bereich des Rinnenabschnitts 7 anliegt, welcher der Wulst 8 nahe benachbart ist. Auf diese Weise wird eine dichte Anlage des Rinnenverbinders an den beiden benachbarten Rinnenabschnitten 7 über eine besonders große Länge ihres Umfangs sichergestellt.In the illustration to the right or above, the strip 2 has a so-called front end 3. The front end 3 adjoins the remaining part of the strip 2, which bears against the channel section 7, and extends to an angle of more than 180 ° relative to this strip 2. In adaptation to a bead 8 of the channel section 7, the front end 3 runs bent with a radius decreasing to its free end and is bent so far from the strip 2 that it passes completely through the free interior of the bead 8 and rests against the inside of an outer portion 10 of the bead 8. The front end 3 thereby exerts a contact pressure, with which the strip 2 rests against the channel section 7 either already in the bead 8 or in the region of the channel section 7, which is close to the bead 8. In this way, a tight contact of the channel connector is ensured at the two adjacent channel sections 7 over a particularly large length of its circumference.

Die Wulst 8 weist eine innere Endkante 14 auf, auf welcher das vordere Ende 3 aufliegt. Wenn das Anschlussstück 1 an seinem hinteren, in Fig. 1 nicht erkennbaren Ende um den Rinnenabschnitt 7 gespannt wird, werden Zugkräfte über den Streifen 2 übertragen. Diese führen dazu, dass das vordere Ende 3 um den Auflagepunkt auf der inneren Endkante 14 gehebelt wird und sich fester von innen an den Außenabschnitt 10 der Wulst 8 anlegt.The bead 8 has an inner end edge 14 on which the front end 3 rests. When the connection piece 1 is tensioned around the channel section 7 at its rear end, which is not visible in FIG. 1, tensile forces are transmitted via the strip 2. These cause the front end 3 is levered around the support point on the inner end edge 14 and applies more firmly from the inside to the outer portion 10 of the bead 8.

In einer zu Fig. 1 ähnlichen Ansicht zeigt Fig. 2 die Anordnung eines ebenfalls als Rinnenverbinder ausgestalteten Anschlussstückes 1, welches nach dem Stand der Technik ausgestaltet ist.In a view similar to Fig. 1, Fig. 2 shows the arrangement of a likewise designed as a channel connector connector 1, which is designed according to the prior art.

Dort ist das vordere Ende 3 gegenüber dem Streifen 2 um 90° abgewinkelt und verläuft geradlinig. Es liegt dem Außenabschnitt 10 der Wulst 8 nicht von innen an, sondern stützt sich an dem nach innen hochgebogenen Streifen der Wulst 8 ab, sodass sich auf Höhe der Wulst ein Spalt zwischen dem Streifen 2 und der Wandung des Rinnenabschnittes 7 ergibt.There, the front end 3 is angled relative to the strip 2 by 90 ° and is rectilinear. It is the outer portion 10 of the bead 8 is not from the inside, but is supported on the inwardly bent-up strip of the bead 8, so that there is a gap between the strip 2 and the wall of the channel section 7 at the level of the bead.

Fig. 3 zeigt dieselbe Situation des Anschlussstückes 1 von Fig. 2, jedoch aus einer anderen Blickrichtung: Dort ist deutlich der Spalt zwischen dem Rinnenabschnitt 7 und dem Streifen 2 ersichtlich, wobei dieser Spalt sich weit an dem Streifen 2 entlang über den Bereich der Wulst 8 hinweg erstreckt.Fig. 3 shows the same situation of the connector 1 of Fig. 2, but from a different viewing direction: There is clearly the gap between the trough portion 7 and the strip 2 can be seen, this gap is far on the strip 2 along over the region of the bead 8 extends across.
