Description

Field of the invention

The present invention relates to posts and bars for window or door frames or for z. B. a mullion and transom construction (eg., For a framework of a facade) and in particular a marriage of such posts and bars.

Background of the invention

Mullions and transoms, as in the case of window and door frames and frameworks for facades Are usually used separately, components that are connected to each other connect. This is done, for example, wooden posts and bars by means of wooden dowels, the pressed into holes from each other to be connected posts and bars and / or be glued. It is desired that spaces between connecting surfaces be avoided by posts and bars and the connecting surfaces completely touch. Furthermore, it is desirable that between joining surfaces of posts and bars act forces that press connection surfaces against each other or for a Pretension between posts and bars provide to join these joints without joints.

For this purpose, for example, post-and-bolt connections are used, in which holes a wooden post metal thread inserts are arranged and in these connecting pins be screwed. The connecting pins have heads at their free ends on. In the latch are provided starting from the for connection to the post Surface holes arranged to receive the connecting pins. Perpendicular to these holes holes are arranged in the latch, each with a bore for receiving of a connecting pin and in which are assembled in the Condition the head of a connecting pin extends. In these holes are eccentric elements arranged to receive the heads of the connecting pins. Upon rotation of the eccentric elements forces are exerted on the heads of the connecting pins, the bolt and bias the post against each other. It is disadvantageous that the holes in the bolt for receiving the eccentric elements must have a large diameter, which is usually in the range between 15 and 25 mm. This is required to eccentric elements to record with dimensions that, when rotated for a desired Provide preload. To avoid damage to the bolt and for a To ensure uniform surface finish, the holes are with the inside arranged eccentric elements after connection of the post and bolt with flat Closed elements. This is necessary because the eccentric elements to the finished assembly must be accessible.

In a comparable mullion-transom connection instead of eccentric elements arranged in comparable holes in the bolt nuts. Instead of connecting pins with heads, connecting pins used here have threads. To assemble are unscrew the nuts located in the locking holes on the connecting pins. This is difficult because the nuts only due to the arrangement in the bolt holes by repeated application of a tool, such as a ring wrench tightened can be.

In another known mullion-transom connection is for connection to a Post provided surface of a bolt provided with a recess in which a first Mounting plate made of metal is screwed. A second mounting plate made of metal is screwed to an associated surface of the post. To connect the post and the bolt, the bolt is pushed onto the post, extending from a mounting plate extending structures in U-shaped receptacles of the other mounting plate intervention. A bias between the post and the bar is thereby created that the extending from the one mounting plate structures when pushed attack the bolt respectively on an inclined surface and thereby when pushing of the bar forces are generated, which press the post and the bar against each other. It is disadvantageous that for attaching the mounting plate of the bolt this consuming to edit. Furthermore, to be observed when arranging the mounting plates Tolerances tight to ensure that when sliding the bolt the desired bias is generated. Furthermore, this mullion-and-tie connection can only used where the bolt can be pushed onto the post.

Another disadvantage of known mullion-transom joints, such as those mentioned above, is in that the to be arranged in posts and bars receptacles and holes for Components of a compound in each case depending on one another to be connected Post-and-beam pairs must be made. This is especially necessary to not to consider avoidable manufacturing tolerances.

Object of the invention

The object of the present invention is to provide a mullion-and-transom connection, which avoids the disadvantages of the prior art. In particular, the present invention is intended provide a mullion-and-tie connection that has a small number of individual ones Includes components and in a simple manner, in particular without the use of special Tools and elaborate assembly steps can be made. Furthermore, the present Invention provide a mullion-transom connection, in the prefabricated posts and bolts can be used.

Brief description of the invention

To solve this problem, the present invention provides a device, a window or Door frame, a framework for a facade, a use of said device and a method according to the independent claims.

The inventive device for connecting a bolt and a post of a Window or door frame or a framework of a facade has a connecting body for placement in a connector body receptacle in the latch. The connecting body includes a stop surface that serves as a stop for one to interact provided with the bolt surface of the post, and a fixing pin, which in the connecting body in a fixed spatial relationship relative to the stop surface is arranged and serves to receive a fixing pin when connecting the bolt and the post for securing the connecting body in the bar is used.

The abutment surface and the Fixierstiftaufnahme may extend parallel to each other and the fixed spatial relationship may have a fixed distance between indicate the stop surface and the locating pin holder.

The fixing pin can be inclined with respect to the stop surface in the Extend connecting body and the fixed spatial relationship, for example a minimum and maximum distance between the fixing pin and the abutment surface, one of the abutment surface and the longitudinal axis of the Fixierstiftaufnahme specify included angle and the like.

The connecting body may have a bore, preferably a threaded bore, which extends from the abutment surface in the connecting body. Preferably, the stands Longitudinal axis of the hole perpendicular to the stop surface.

For securing the connecting body to the post, a securing body is provided, which extends away from the abutment surface of the connecting body. Preferably the longitudinal axis of the fuse body is perpendicular to the stop surface.

The connecting body and securing body may be integrally formed.

Preferably, the securing body at its free end on an external thread to screw the fuse body into the post. Preferably, an external thread used that one screwing in the post without using additional Components (eg threaded insert in the post) allows.

Instead of an external thread of the fuse body at its free end and a or have multiple structures, such as. As catches, hooks, and the like, to Engaging in a corresponding (eg, complementary) shaped receptacle in the post Secure connection body to the post force and / or positive.

Are the connecting body and the fuse body running as separated from each other Component provided, the fuse body may be opposite to its free end End having an external thread to into the bore of the connecting body to be screwed. It is not necessary that the bore of the connecting body has an internal thread.

In a preferred embodiment, the connecting body has at least one further Fixierstiftaufnahme on, in another fixed spatial relationship to the stop surface is arranged. The use of multiple pins recording is on Example of two pins recording explained. It is intended two perpendicular to each other to use arranged Fixierstiftaufnahmen. When the two pins pin extend parallel to the stop surfaces, the fixed predetermined spatial Conditions a common or two different distances between the stop surface and define the locator pins. Should the first fixation pen holder and / or at least one further fixing pin receiving obliquely with respect to the stop surface extend in the connecting body, the above statements apply the fixed spatial relationship in each case accordingly.

Preferably, one or more Fixierstiftaufnahmen are used as through holes are formed in the connecting body.

The one or more Fixierstiftaufnahmen can parallel to the stop surface in extend the connecting body, or include an angle with the stop surface.

The locating pin receptacle may have internal threads around locating pins with external threads to use for fixing the connecting body in the bar. It is also possible, Fixing pin holders without internal thread in connection with fixing pins with external thread to use, for example, when a suitable material pairing screwing a Fixing pin allowed in the fixing pin holder.

Alternatively to the use of a Fixierstiftaufnahme in the form of a bore or through hole it is provided that the fixing pin (s) in the form of one of the connecting body molded circumferential groove is (are) provided.

By using the fixing pin, which in the fixed ratio relative is arranged to the stop surface, in turn, as a stop on the post is ensured that the fixing pin, when the connecting body to the Post is secured, always in a desired, predefined spatial relationship relative is arranged to the post. For example, if the fixed spatial Ratio defines a distance between the abutment surface and the locating pin receptacle, has the fixing pin this distance to the post when the connecting body to this is attached.

This allows the latch to be at least regardless of the post's manufacturing tolerances can be prefabricated with respect to the structures used to receive the connecting body and for securing the connecting body with a fixing pin in the bolt serve.

Preferably, the connecting body is at least in the area that is in the connecting body receptacle is to be arranged, cylindrical shaped. This allows connecting body receptacles to use in the form of holes. Alternatively, it is provided, connecting body to use with triangular, quadrangular or polygonal cross sections. Even with such shaped connecting bodies connecting body receptacles in shape bores are used, wherein the connecting body, for example, by wrapping, Press-fitting etc. in a connecting body receiving positively secured in this can be.

Regardless of the shape of the connecting body, it is provided that the stop surface a perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the connecting body extending end face of the Connecting body is. Alternatively, it is possible that the stop surface by a provided perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the connecting body away extending planar structure is, which has a serving as a stop surface area.

In a further preferred embodiment, the device comprises the fixing pin to To secure the connecting body in the bar.

As a fixing pin, a smooth pin having a substantially constant cross section can be used become. In order to remove the fixing pin, it is possible that the fixing pin on his in the assembled state with respect to the bolt outer end one Circumferential groove, an external thread, an internal thread or another form to to attack it. By means of pliers, one provided with an internal thread Sleeve, a screw, a threaded pin, etc., then the fixing pin can be removed again. The fixing pin may be in its assembled state with respect to the bolt inner end have an external thread to enter the Fixierstiftaufnahme of the connecting body to be screwed. To achieve both functions, the fixing pin can be a fully threaded pin. To use when using a Screw the locating pin in the form of a threaded pin into the locating pin holder To be able to, it is advantageous if the fixing pin at one end to cooperate with a tool provided for screwing the fixing pin is formed. In this Case, the fixing pin at one end, for example, a hexagon socket or structures to interact with a slot or Phillips screwdriver. regardless the use of a fixing pin with an external thread, the fixing pin a have in the longitudinal direction enlarging cross-section.

In order to facilitate arranging the connecting body to the post, the connecting body at its end opposite the abutment surface one for interaction formed with a mold to be used on. For example For example, the connecting body may have a hexagon socket at this end. This end the connecting body may additionally or alternatively have a surface on which, for example by embossing, lettering and / or logo can be attached.

The mullion and transom construction according to the invention, for example for window or door frames or a framework of a facade comprises a latch with a formed therein Connecting body receptacle for receiving the connecting device according to the invention and an opening for receiving a fixing pin and one to be connected to the latch Post. The connecting body is attached to the post so that the abutment surface this is present. The connecting body is further arranged in the connecting body receiving. The opening for receiving the fixing pin in the bolt is fixed depending on arranged spatial relationship.

For example, if the fixed spatial relationship is a distance between the Indicates fixing pin and the stop surface or the post, the opening of the Bolt from a provided by cooperation with the post surface of the bolt be arranged at a fixed predetermined distance, as independent of manufacturing tolerances of the post, the fixing pin of the connecting body always in the same Distance to the post is located.

Preferably, the opening in the latch is at a distance from that for cooperation arranged with the post provided surface of the bolt, which is slightly larger than the distance the fixing pin of this locking surface or the post is. This will achieve that the openings of the bolt and the fixing pin receptacle partially overlap, so that a fixing pin can be introduced through the opening in the Fixierstiftaufnahme. Due to the offset between the opening in the latch and the Fixierstiftaufnahme be forces are exerted on the connecting body, which move it further into the bolt, So bias the posts and bars against each other. The larger the offset between the bolt opening and the locating pin receptacle is, the greater the biasing force.

When using a connecting body with a single fixing pin is included Arrangement of the connecting body to the post only to pay attention that the fixing pin is aligned so that a fixing pin through the latch opening in the Fixierstiftaufnahme can be introduced. In a single Fixierstiftaufnahme the Connecting body for this purpose a maximum of half a revolution with respect to its longitudinal axis be aligned when the Fixierstiftaufnahme completely through the connecting body extends. When using a locating pin receptacle that does not extend through the connector body extends completely, would be a maximum of one complete rotation of the connecting body required. When using two pins that are perpendicular extend to each other and completely through the connecting body, a maximum of one Quarter turn of the connecting body may be necessary.

Such an orientation of the connecting body is omitted if the fixing pin (s) as the connecting body comprehensive circumferential groove (s) is formed (are).

Regardless of whether an alignment of the connecting body with respect to the fixing pin receptacle (s) is necessary, it is when using a threaded fuse body possible to vary the bias of posts and bars. If, for example when assembling the mullion and transom construction to construct a window or Door frame or stud work is determined that due to manufacturing tolerances the connecting body and / or the bolt too low or too high biasing force is present, the connecting body can be further screwed into the post or in opposite Be unscrewed direction. In both cases, only a minor one Rotation of the connecting body sufficient to achieve the desired biasing force.

To create a biasing force between the post and the latch, it is intended that the fixing pin extends at least partially through the latch opening, on the one hand to attack at this, and engages in the or one of the Fixierstiftaufnahmen to on the other hand to support this. Preferably, the fixing pin extends completely by the Fixierstiftaufnahme and is supported, seen in the insertion, both before Fixierstiftaufnahme and behind the Fixierstiftaufnahme in the latch opening from.

The latch opening may be perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the bolt and / or perpendicular to Extend longitudinal axis of the connecting body or with at least one of these longitudinal axes include an angle. The shape and / or arrangement of the bolt opening are suspended other of the type and shape of a designated fixation pin and / or type and shape of with it to be used Fixierstiftaufnahme.

Preferably, the latch opening is formed as a bore in the latch. To enable that the fixing pin, seen in the insertion direction, both before and behind the Fixierstiftaufnahme can be supported in the latch opening, the latch opening preferably extends through the connector body receptacle. In this case, the bolt opening completely extend through the bar. Preferably, the bolt opening extends but not completely through the bar, but ends inside.

To the visible in the assembled state areas of the bolt an intact To give surface texture, it is provided that the opening area of Latch opening is arranged in a region of the bolt, passing through, on the post and / or bolt to be arranged components is hidden, such. B. Befestigungsund / or Sealing profiles for window panes or door panels in a window or window Door frames and facade elements in a facade framework.

For attachment of the connecting body to the post, the post may have a bore, for example, for receiving a thread of the securing body of the connecting body, exhibit. When using a similar to a wood screw formed fuse body may be on a formed in the post receptacle for the fuse body be waived.

Are in addition to the connecting body according to the invention further connecting elements, provided, for example, in the form of dowels, it is provided that in the post and / or the bolt provided receptacles (eg holes) for the other fasteners comparable dimensions as provided in the post and / or bolt Recordings for securing the connecting body to the post or to the arrangement having the connecting body in the latch. So it is possible, for example, the in the post and / or bolt with respect to the connecting body provided holes and provided for the other fasteners holes with the same Diameter shape.

Furthermore, the present invention provides a device having the features of the above described connecting device for connecting a bolt and a post for a mullion and transom construction (eg for constructing a window or door frame or a Studding of a facade).

The process of the invention as defined in the claims and its embodiments result from the above description.

The present invention has several advantages. By using simply designed Elements that can be standardized for any posts and bars, costs are reduced. Prefabricated bars and posts can be used whereby processing steps in the actual assembly of bars and posts before Location (eg., On a construction site) are avoided, especially because manufacturing tolerances be compensated by posts. Mullions and transoms can be done without special tools easy way to be connected with each other. In the assembled state are no Components of the mullion-transom connection according to the invention visible.

Description of preferred embodiments

Fig. 1a - 1d show schematic representations of different views of a first preferred Embodiment of the connecting body 2. The connecting body 2 comprises a in this embodiment executed as a through hole Fixierstiftaufnahme. 4 Optionally, the Fixierstiftaufnahme 4 have an internal thread 6. To the interaction a provided for use with the connecting body 2 fixing pin (here not shown), has the Fixierstiftaufnahme 4 provided with a chamfer 8 or lowered opening areas.

Starting from a surface 10 explained in more detail below, a bore extends 14 in the connecting body 2. The bore 14 has an internal thread 16. The area 10 opposite surface 18 comprises an outer, shaped as a chamfer Area 20. The design of the area 18 and the area 20 facilitates the following described arranging the connecting body 2 in a bar.

In the embodiment shown here, the surface 18 is substantially planar to, as in Fig. 1c and 1d shown, for example, by embossing a logo (manufacturer's logo) to order.

The illustrated in Fig. 2 second preferred embodiment of the connecting body 2 differs apart from their dimensions, in that starting from the Surface 18 formed as a hexagon socket 22 in the connecting body. 2 extends. The hexagon socket 22 facilitates the attachment of the described below Connecting body 2 to a post for a window or door frame or a framework a facade. Instead of the hexagon socket 22, the surface 18 for cooperation with a flat-head screwdriver, Phillips screwdriver, open-end wrench etc. be formed.

For attaching the connecting body 2 to a post threaded pins are provided, for example in Fig. 3 grub screws 24 of different lengths are shown. To attach of the connecting body 2 is a set screw 24 in a hole in a post screwed. For this purpose, each of the grub screws 24 shown in FIG. 3 Hexagon socket 26 provided. Instead of a hexagon socket grub screws 24 may used, for example, be screwed by means of a screwdriver can.

The length of the threaded pin 24 can be selected depending on which dimension the respective post has which forces to be picked up and whether a grub screw 24, as explained below with reference to FIG. 8, for the attachment of two connecting bodies to be used.

On the screwed into a post threaded pin 24 of the connecting body 2 can under Using the internal thread 16 screwed and secured to a post become. In this case, the surface 10 comes to the post to the plant, which is why the surface 10 also is referred to as a stop surface.

4 illustrates a third preferred embodiment of the connecting body 2. Comparable to the connecting body 2 of Fig. 2, the connecting body 2 in this Embodiment designed as a through hole Fixierstiftaufnahme 4 and a Hexagon socket 22 on. In contrast to the above embodiments, the Connecting body 2 here at the opposite end of the surface 18 a threaded body 28 with an external thread 30 arranged thereon.

The threaded body 28 and the external thread 30 serve, comparable to the threaded pin 24, for securing the connecting body 2 in a hole of a post. The rest Part of the connecting body 2, which may be referred to as a connecting main body 32, serves for placement in a connecting body receptacle of a bolt. At the on the Thread body 28 adjacent end of the connecting main body 32 is a substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the connecting body 2 from the connecting main body 32 away extending structure 34 is provided. The structure 34 may be the connection main body Be executed completely comprehensive or individual elements, teeth or Include projections. The number and / or shapes of such elements can be chosen arbitrarily as long as the function of the structure 34 is ensured. The to the threaded body 28 facing surface 10 of the structure 34 serves, comparable to the abutment surface 10 of Fig. 1 and 2 as a stop on a post, when the connecting body 2 attached thereto becomes. The function of the structure 34 is essentially to ensure that the connecting body 2 can only be screwed into a post so far until the stop surface 10 is applied to the post.

In view of this function of structure 34, structure 34 is not required to be particularly is stable. Accordingly, it is possible for the structure 34 to be longitudinal run of the connecting body 2 small dimensions. For example, it is possible the structure 34 with a thickness (dimension in the longitudinal direction of the connecting body 2) less than 1 mm, preferably less than 0.5 mm, or even less.

The connecting body 2 is embodied here in one piece and has the structure 34 of uniform construction integrated on. For example, the connecting body 2 by processing a appropriately sized blank are produced. It can be a blank in the form of a Threaded pin can be used in which provided as a connection main body Area the thread is removed (e.g., turned off). This area of the Blanks are processed so that immediately provided on the threaded body 28 as Adjacent area forms a pile of material, a burr remains or the like, in any case, a shape is obtained which then serves as structure 34.

It is also possible, the connecting body 2 using a blank in the form of a smooth blunt pin, this blank is processed so that on the one hand the Threaded body 28 with the thread 30, on the other hand, the connecting main body 32 and lying between the structure 34 is formed.

In Fig. 5 provided for use with the connecting body 2 fixing pins 36th shown different lengths. The fixing pins 36 are dimensioned so that they in the Fixierstiftaufnahme 4 can be introduced. The fixing pins 36 shown in Fig. 5 have in each case a conical end 38 which, in cooperation with the chamfer 8 of the Fixierstiftaufnahme 4 facilitate insertion of a fixation pin 36.

Furthermore, the fixing pins 36 have an external thread 40. The use of external threads 40 makes it possible to screw a fixing pin 36 in a Fixierstiftaufnahme 4.

As stated above, it is also provided that the Fixierstiftaufnahme 4 no internal thread 6 includes. Even then, the use of the external thread 40 is advantageous if the material of the connecting body 2 and / or the material of the fixing pin 36 is selected is that the external thread 40 upon insertion of the fixing pin 36 in the fixing pin 4 whose inside at least partially threaded (in this case the introduction of the fixing pin 36 in the Fixierstiftaufnahme 4 with the use of a tap compared).

At their the conical end 38 opposite end 42 have the fixing pins 36 a hexagon socket 44 or are, as not shown, shaped so that the threaded pins 36 by means of a screwdriver, pliers, etc. in a corresponding Fixierstiftaufnahme 4 can be introduced or screwed. The use of such Shaped ends 42 also allows the grub screws 36 in a simple way to remove.

FIG. 5 shows fixing pins 36 of different lengths which, as with reference to FIG. 10 explained in more detail, are chosen so that for a variety of different sized Latch only a small number of different length fixing pins 36 is required.

Referring now to FIG. 6, the connection of a post 46 and a latch 48 will now be described described, for example, as a pillar and bolt of a window or door frame or serve a framework of a facade. It is assumed that the post 46 and the latch 48 are made of wood; however, posts and bars are also off other materials provided, such. As metal and plastic and combinations of different Materials, such. As metal and wood, metal and plastic, plastic and wood and wood, metal and plastic.

In the post 46 is a bore 50 for receiving a threaded pin 24 (see FIG. 3). or the threaded body 28 (see FIG. 4). The bore 50 may also be an internal thread 52 or the like.

In the latch 48, a connecting body receptacle 54 is produced. The connection body receptacle 54 is dimensioned so that it the connecting body 2 of Fig. 1 and 2, respectively or the connection main body 32 of FIG. 4 can completely accommodate. Especially corresponds to the length or depth at which the Verbindungskörperaufnahme 54 in the bar 48 extends, at least the length of the connecting body 2 between the abutment surface 10 and the opposite surface 18 and the length of the connection main body 32nd

In the latch 48, a bore 56 is further prepared. In the embodiment shown here the bore 56 extends substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the bolt 48. The bore 56 serves to receive a fixing pin 36 and can in contrast to fully extend through the latch 48. Advantageously extends the bore 56 is not completely through the latch 48, but ends, starting from a provided as a bolt outside surface 58 in the latch 48, d. H. in front of a lock room side provided surface 60. As a result, the room side, a uniform surface texture of the bolt 48 reached.

The bore 56 is arranged at a distance 62 from a surface 64 of the bolt 48, from starting from the connecting body receptacle 54 extends into the latch 48. The distance 62 is selected so that a fixing pin 36 in the bore 56 and the fixing pin 4 can be introduced if, as described below, the connecting body. 2 attached to the post 46 and received in the connecting body receptacle 54. It is possible that the distance 62 is so large that the bore 56 and the fixing pin 4 are completely aligned with each other when the connecting body 2 is arranged is.

Advantageously, however, a slightly larger distance 62 is used, so that the bore 56 opposite the locating pin receiver 4 in the direction away from the surface 64 (i.e., in FIG Fig. 6a to the right) or only partially aligned with the fixing pin 4 is. In this case, the bore 56 is provided so that a fixing pin 36 continues in the Fixierstiftaufnahme 4 can be introduced. By this arrangement of the bore 56 is achieved that when introducing a fixing pin 36 in the bore 56 and the fixing pin 4 Forces are exerted on the connecting body 2, which further this in the Verbindungskörperaufnahme 54 (i.e., to the right in Fig. 6a).

If it is determined which distance 62 should be used, the bore 56 in the Bar 48 are made without it being necessary for the actual dimensions of the post 46 and the connecting body 2 in the connecting body receptacle 54 to arrange. Consequently, can be prefabricated with a post to be connected bars be provided, so that a processing of bars in particular in terms of openings or bores for receiving fixing pins during assembly, for example on a construction site, does not apply.

For connecting the post 46 and the bolt 48, as shown in Fig. 6b, the connecting body 2 so far screwed into the bore 50 until the stop surface 10 a Surface 66 of the post 46 touched. In this position of the connecting body 2 has the fixing pin 4 regardless of the dimensions of the post 46, in particular independently of manufacturing tolerances, due to the voltage applied to the surface 66 Stop 10 the predetermined by the connecting body 2 distance 62 from the surface 66th

When attaching the connecting body 2 to the post 46, only the connecting body is 2 align by appropriate rotation so that the fixing pin 4 extends in the direction shown in this figure. If, as stated above, the connecting body 2 identifies two or three pins, this alignment can be simplified become.

Thereafter, as shown in Fig. 6c, the bolt 48 is pushed onto the connecting body 2 or pressed, so that the surface 64 of the latch 48, the surface 66 of the post 46 touched and the connecting body 2 is received in the Verbindungskörperaufnahme 54 is.

To secure the post 46 and the bolt 48 together, a fixing pin 36 in the Bore 56 and the Fixierstiftaufnahme 4 introduced. Depending on the design of the used fixing pin 36, this can be done by wrapping, screwing and the like. Is, as stated above, the distance 62 selected so that the bore 56 opposite the Fixierstiftaufnahme 4 is arranged offset, thereby forces on the connecting body 2 exercised, these move further into the latch 48 and thereby a between increase the surfaces 64 and 66 acting contact force.

In order to additionally increase the contact pressure acting between surfaces 64 and 66, can the connecting body 2 by, for example, a half or a full turn continue to be firmly screwed to the post 46. This possibility exists in particular in posts made of wood, which allow a slight penetration of the stop surface 10 in the surface 66. If, as stated above, the connecting body 2 two or three Fixierstiftaufnahmen identifies, this can be achieved by smaller rotations of the connecting body 2 (for example 1/3 or 1/4 turn).

FIG. 7 shows views of end faces comparable to the end face 64 of the bolt 48 64 of bars 48 of different widths. To ensure a uniform contact pressure between the end faces 64 and the surfaces 66 to reach posts not shown here, the connecting body receptacles 54 are centered with respect to the width of the latch 48 arranged. Furthermore, 7 holes 68 are shown in Fig., Which are for receiving Dowels, such as wooden dowels, are provided. In assembled condition are in the bores 68 and corresponding holes arranged by post dowels, on the one hand improve the connection of bars and posts and on the other hand to the vertical and horizontal load transfer serve.

The connector body receptacles 54 shown in FIG. 7 are for use with connector bodies 2 of Fig. 1 and 2 are provided. When using the connecting body 2 of Fig. 4 can be used as a connecting body receiving holes, the same diameter as the holes 68 have. This has the advantage that both to Manufacture of connecting body shots as well as for the production of holes for Recording dowels same tools can be used. Another advantage arises when in this case connecting body receptacles and holes for recording of anchors are also comparable in terms of their drilling depth.

Figures 8a and 8b show views of a post 46 and latch 48 assembled together Condition, to build a plan post-and-beam construction. For a flat mullion and transom construction define posts and ties common to a plane that has a plane, forms not curved window or door front or facade front. In this as a T-connection The designated arrangement is the connecting body 2 of Fig. 2 in the connecting body receptacle 54 arranged. Further, a fixing pin 36 is used, which is completely extends through the fixing pin 4. This will ensure that the fixing pin 36 seen in the direction of the bore 56 both before and behind the Fixierstiftaufnahme 4 in the bore 56 is arranged and can absorb forces there. Causing the hole 56 is arranged on the outside, the bore 56 and thus the fixing pin 36 of the Room side not visible. On the outside, the bore 56 and the fixing pin 36 through the post 46 and / or the latch 48 components to be arranged (for example, elements for Fixing of window panes, door panels and façade elements).

In Fig. 9a and 9b, a cross-connection of a post 46 with two bars 48 is also shown for a planar mullion and transom construction. The preparation of such a compound essentially corresponds to the above-described connection of a post and a Bar. In the embodiment shown here, the connection of two connecting bodies 2 of Fig. 2 uses a threaded pin 24 which extends completely through the Post 46 extends and serves to secure both connecting body 2. Alternatively it is possible, instead of a common threaded pin 24 each have a threaded pin 24 for the Connecting body 2 to use. In this case, the post 46 with two bore 50 of Fig. 6a provided comparable individual holes or a through hole become. Again, provided for receiving fixing pins 36 holes 56 are arranged outside, whereby the holes 56 and the fixing pins 36 from the room side are not visible and on the outside by attaching to the post 46 and / or the bars 48 Components are hidden.

As explained with reference to Fig. 5, it is provided not for each Riegeliefe one appropriately sized fixing pin to use. Rather, should fixation pins in Lengths are used, each of which is suitable for multiple Riegeliefen. Fig. 10 shows a graphical representation, from which different depths of the rails can be determined which Fixierstiftlänge is suitable. It is assumed that the drilling depth of a Hole in a latch for receiving a fixing pin (see Fig. 6a: bore 56), for example is 15 mm smaller than the depth of the log. It is also assumed that a connecting body receptacle 54 is arranged centrally with respect to the depth of the latch and a Fixing completely through a Fixierstiftaufnahme 4 and, for example, 10 mm extends out.

As can be seen from FIG. 10, for locking depths between approximately 70 mm and 95 mm, fixing pins can be used with a length of 65 mm, for locking depths between 95 mm and 115 mm fixing pins with a length of 80 mm, for locking depths between 115 mm and 155 mm fixing pins with a length of 100 mm, for locking depths from 155 mm to 235 mm Length of 140 mm and for locking depths between 235 mm and 355 mm pins with a Length of 200 mm can be used.

For the embodiments described below, unless otherwise stated, the above embodiment accordingly.

11 and 12 show schematic cross-sectional views of a mullion and transom construction according to Fig. 8a and 8b of a window or a facade in the region of fortifications of Window panes or facade elements 68. A latch 48 is according to the invention with a Post 46 connected by means of a connecting body 2 and a fixing pin 36. At a Outside 58 of the bolt 48, a base profile 70 is attached. The base profile 70 has a extending from the latch 48 receiving 72, which is used to attach a retaining profile (see above) on the base profile 70 by means of a screw. The receptacle 72 comprises on its outside Structures that interact positively with an insulating profile 74.

For an explanation of the other shown in Fig. 11 components, namely seals 76, glass supports 78, seals 80, retaining profile 82, screw 84 and cover profile 86, can to be omitted here.

As stated above, it allows the compound of the invention, at least in this To use prefabricated latches (i.e., latches with prefabricated link body mounts 54 and holes 56). Furthermore, it is when using the inventive Post-tie connection possible to provide the latch 48 so prefabricated, that the base profile 70 and optionally glazing gaskets 76 and / or the insulating profile 74th attached to it. Namely, the fixing pin 36 can, as seen in Fig. 12, through the on the bar 48 pre-mounted elements in a bore 56 and Fixierstiftaufnahme 4 introduced become. This can be done by having appropriately sized and sized openings provided pre-assembled elements and / or be achieved by pre-assembled elements in the assembly of posts and bars with appropriate Openings are provided. This also allows the connection of the post 46 and the Tie bar 48 by means of the fixing pin 36 (after) by the fixing pin 36 on or less far into the bore 56 is introduced. Also, a removal of the fixing pin 36 is despite elements attached to the latch 48 (eg base profile 70, insulating profile 74). Regardless of the extent to which the latch 48 is prefabricated, the opening 56 and the fixing pin 36 hidden in the assembled state.

Advantageously, the fixing pin 36, as shown in Fig. 12, does not protrude from the latch 48, but concludes with the latch 48 flush or ends within the bolt 48 or the bore 56. This prevents the fixing pin 36 as cold or thermal bridge acts and deteriorates the insulation properties. Are the post 46 and the bar 48 connected in the desired manner, for example by adjustment of the fixing pin 36, 74 in the area of the base profile 70 and the damping profile existing Spaces, which serve for example for introducing the fixing pin 36 into the bore 56, with Sealing material (eg silicone) are filled to further improve the insulating properties.

Fig. 13 shows a view of a post 46 and a bolt 48 in the assembled state for building a curved mullion and transom construction. In a curved Post-and-beam construction makes posts and bars a single or multiple curved Area (eg by using curved bars) to a single or multiple curved To make window or door front or facade front. Unlike the above Embodiments in this embodiment is an opening 56 from the top of the bolt 48 formed therein (i.e., substantially perpendicular to the direction the bore 56 of Figs. 8 and 9). The bore 56 may also be starting from the bottom the bolt 48 may be provided. Otherwise, the explanations above apply here corresponding.

In Fig. 14 is a cross-connection of a post 46 with two bars 48 also for a curved mullion-transom construction shown. Comparable to the embodiment of Fig. 13, bores 56 are also here starting from the tops of the latch 48 in this educated. Incidentally, the above explanations also apply to this embodiment.

The holes 56 used in the embodiments of FIGS. 13 and 14 allow it is, comparable to the selected in Fig. 5 and 10 Fixierstiftlängen, a set of fixing pins different length regardless of the dimensions of the latch 48 to define which provide a curvature of the mullion and transom construction. By the of the Tops of the latch 48 outgoing holes 56 are the lengths of locating pins in Essentially, bolt widths (i.e., dimensions of the bolts 48 perpendicular to the drawing planes of Figs. 13 and 14). Another advantage of this design of the holes 56 is that the connections of the posts 46 and the latch 48 even then can still be adjusted if 48 more elements are arranged on the bars. The openings 56 and thus the fixing pins 36 remain accessible even then. Around the bars 48 a desired primarily for aesthetic reasons uniform surface texture to impart and penetration of particles and moisture too can prevent, in the opening areas of the bores 56 to be arranged covers be used. Such covers can be glued or attached to the fixing pins be secured if they have, for example, a hexagon socket.

Fig. 15 shows a schematic cross-sectional view of a mullion-transom construction according to Fig. 13 of a window or a facade in the range of fasteners of windows or facade elements 68. The reference numerals used in this figure designate elements, which are comparable to the elements shown in Figs. 11 and 12 with the same reference numerals are. In a latch 48, a connecting body 2 is arranged and by means of a Fixing pin 36 secured, extending through a bore 56 in the latch 48 and one in the Connecting body 2 formed Fixierstiftöffnung 4 extends. To the opening area of Bore 56 flush with the pointing in Fig. 15 to the right surface of the bolt 48 to close, the fixing pin 36 ends within the bolt 48. Otherwise, the above apply made statements accordingly.

Figs. 16 and 17 show, comparable to Figs. 13 and 14 compounds of posts 46 and bars 48 for a curved mullion and transom construction. Unlike the embodiments Figures 13 and 14 are comparable in the embodiments of Figures 16 and 17 to the embodiments of Figs. 8 and 9, bores 56 from outsides the latch 48 is arranged in these. As explained above, this arrangement has the holes 56 has the advantage that the bore 56 and fixing pins 36 for securing connecting bodies 2 are obscured in the bars 48 by elements attached to the bars 48, for example, for the attachment of glass panes or facade elements attached. The length of fixing pins to be used in such a construction is achieved determines the respective depth of the groove in the region of a bore 56. Again, it is possible to have one Set of fixation pins of different lengths to define.
