Definitions

  • the invention relates to a connector for Hollow profiles, in particular of spacers of Insulating glass panes, having the features in the preamble of Main claim.
  • Such a connector is known from DE-U-94 11 067 known. He has a substantially U-shaped Cross section with a center bar and two side bars. At the free edge of the side bars, he has a fixed one-sided stop, the stops act in the opposite direction and in the area of Joint of the hollow sections offset axially are arranged to each other. These attacks can with exhibited spring lugs in the middle area of the Mittensteges interact. These spring lugs are from the Liaison point far back and serve as Retaining elements, the unintentional withdrawal of the Connector should also prevent the hollow sections. Also, this font shows in another Embodiment a connector with two am Middle bar and with lateral distance from the side bars arranged rigid attacks in the form of two-sided acting pimples.
  • the previously known connector is particularly suitable for relatively thick-walled hollow sections, the high Have dimensional stability.
  • the high Have dimensional stability In the course of profile development there are now very thin-walled profiles also stainless steel. These profiles do not have such a high dimensional stability and can be cut to length by cutting or sawing deform. With such profiles, it is difficult when Insert the connector to hit the center and the to bring this provided stop to the plant. Because of the low profile wall thickness, the stop should only have a relatively low height.
  • the invention solves this problem with the features in the main claim. Due to the ramps and the tension between the hollow profile and connectors, the attacks come reliably in contact with the end wall of the deferred hollow profile. Even with heavily deformed hollow profiles can thereby reliably find the center when inserting the connector. The profiles can come close to each other at the connection point.
  • the connector according to the invention is preferably fixed stops at the transition between Middle bar and side bars of the connector arranged are.
  • the run-on slopes act in the Corner regions of the hollow profile, where they pass through the Bending deformation of the hollow profile sufficient Find shape resistance and sufficient support.
  • the Corner regions of the hollow sections are usually the least deformed.
  • the stops are preferably with the ramps equipped, on which in the cross section at the Plug connector adapted hollow profile can slide on.
  • the Run-up slopes pull the deferred hollow profile against the opposite footpath.
  • Stegrand can do this at least in the area of Joint a smooth continuous edge exhibit.
  • additional Fixed stops are present at which the hollow profile for Plant come.
  • the connector according to the invention can be an elastic Have a sealing body that is safe, easy and safe cost-effective sealing at the connection or Joint of the hollow profiles ensures.
  • the sealing body is especially more favorable than the e.g. from EP-A-0 133 655 known seal, during which during assembly of Connector in the hollow sections a sealant butyl or the like in an interior Free space is injected.
  • the Sealing a reliable seal against Particulate dust resulting from the spacer frame can develop developed granulated desiccant.
  • the elastic sealing body has the further advantage that he easy to handle. He is helped by his excess the assembly is pressed together and lies with pressure on the to be sealed connection point of the hollow sections. This ensures an improved sealing effect.
  • the connector can in its wall several Have openings through which the elastic sealing body when pressing outward kick and seal can lay against the hollow profile wall. For one thing, this can be the recesses at the corner located Be stops and Aufgleitschrägen. For another but also on the opposite side of the foot recesses for a lateral passage of the sealing body available be.
  • the connector has a suitable cavity in which the shaped body optionally with Shape adaptation can be arranged.
  • the shaped body optionally with Shape adaptation can be arranged.
  • he lets himself in a simple way, e.g. through an adhesive bond Fasten.
  • the connector to a projection the wall opposite the cavity opening has.
  • the projection arches the sealing body in the area the junction reinforced by the cavity opening outward.
  • Figures 1 to 6 show a connector (1) in the form a straight connector suitable for hollow sections (2,3) of Spacers for insulating glass panes is provided.
  • Figure 6 shows the connector (1) in conjunction with such hollow profiles (2,3). Alternatively, it can be too around other hollow profiles, e.g. Sprouts for Act insulating glass panes.
  • the formed by the hollow profiles shown (2,3) Spacer serves to distancing two Single panes of an insulating glass pane (not ) Shown.
  • the hollow profiles shown are (2,3) preferably particularly thin-walled and consist of Stainless steel. You have compared to the previously used thick-walled hollow profiles made of light metal, in particular Aluminum or aluminum alloys, one clearly reduced thermal conductivity and are for higher quality Heat protection glazings particularly suitable.
  • such Hollow profiles (2,3) have e.g. a wall thickness of approx. 0.2 mm.
  • the hollow sections (2,3) have shown in the Embodiment, a substantially rectangular Cross-sectional shape.
  • corner area (5) (see Figure 6) between the outward pointing at the spacer frame Roof area (4) and the side walls can be a bevel or rounding off.
  • the opposite Profile bottom is located on the frame inside (7) of the Spacer frame and faces the disc interior.
  • the side walls may be above the ground also continue in longitudinal webs.
  • the shown cross-sectional shape of the hollow sections (2,3) can however, vary in any way and other than be shown formed.
  • the connector (1) is in its cross-sectional shape the shape of the hollow profiles (2,3) adapted. He has in shown embodiment in cross section a U-shape with a central web (10) and two perpendicular to it protruding side bars (11). The central web (10) has to the roof area (4). Between the middle bridge (10) and the Sidewalls (11) can be an oblique or round transition (14) be present. Deviating from the shown Embodiment, the connector (1) also a have box-shaped closed cross-section. In Adaptation to the hollow profile shape can take its shape also vary in another way.
  • the connector shown (1) is preferably made Metal. He can also be made of plastic or arbitrary other suitable materials as well as from Composites exist. Im shown Embodiment, he is as a punched and bent part Steel sheet executed. Preferably, it consists of a Strip steel, tempered after punching and bending and is treated galvanically.
