Definitions

  • the invention relates to a U-shaped connector made of plastic for connecting hollow profiles, in particular of spacer hollow profiles made of metal, plastic or the like for, in particular, multi-pane insulating glasses, wherein the connector at its side bars with outwardly directed, against the insertion towards the rear inclined slats is provided.
  • Multi-pane insulating glasses are usually, after the spacer is inserted between two successive slices, connected to each other with a butyl putty.
  • box-shaped connectors were created, which have a sealant in the region of the joint and also the hollow profile was caulked against the connectors to absorb the change in length and to avoid moving the hollow profiles against each other.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to propose a safe connector to be processed, which has the aforementioned positive characteristics and is also universally applicable.
  • a connector according to the preamble of claim 1 in its central region of its longitudinal extent has a survey which points in the direction of the open side of the U-profile.
  • the connector can be very easily fastened in the hollow profile.
  • a pre-inserted in hollow profiles delivery is conceivable.
  • stops are arranged in the region of the middle of the longitudinal extension of the U-connector.
  • the bottom surface has at least one opening.
  • the bottom surface has at least one opening in each longitudinal half.
  • the survey has a greater height at their transverse to the longitudinal direction of the connector boundaries than in its central region.
  • a trough-shaped section is created.
  • the hollow sections can also be caulked in this area.
  • the hollow profile is sealed by the boundaries.
  • desiccant is prevented from leaking.
  • desiccant can get into the region of the junction of two hollow profile ends.
  • the side bars are adapted to the profile of the survey in the survey area.
  • the ends facing away from the bottom of the connector ends of the boundaries of the survey each have at least one recess in the longitudinal direction of the connector.
  • the survey is cup-shaped.
  • Another very advantageous embodiment of the invention is also present when the survey occupies about half of the connector height.
  • the side webs are adapted at least in the upper region of the contour of the hollow profile to be joined.
  • At least one reinforcement bump is provided in the longitudinal axis of the connector between the two side webs from the bottom surface.
  • the stability of the connector is further improved and better absorbed the stresses when caulking the hollow sections.
  • the reinforcement elevation has at least approximately the height of the side webs.
  • the reinforcing elevations have at least one depression from the side facing away from the bottom surface.
  • a U-shaped connector for spacer hollow sections for Mehrissuenisoliergläser designated.
  • This connector 1 consists essentially of a bottom 2 and two attached to the edges of the bottom 2 longitudinal side webs 3 and 4, so that the U-shaped profile of the connector 1 is defined.
  • a center stop 6 are likewise provided on the outer sides of the longitudinal side webs 3 and 4 for each insertion direction, which limits the insertion depth of the connector 1 into the hollow profiles.
  • the center stops 6 are each assigned a compensation element 7, which is provided opposite the center stops 6 on the other longitudinal side web 3 and 4, respectively.
  • the compensating element 7 is resiliently formed and on the one hand ensures that the hollow sections abut against the middle stops 6. On the other hand, any manufacturing tolerances of the hollow profile are compensated. A wobble of the connector 1 in the hollow profile is avoided.
  • the bottom 2 has an opening 8 in each insertion direction.
  • recesses 9 are still provided on the outside of the bottom 2. In these recesses 9 and in the openings 8 into the plugged hollow profiles can be caulked, creating a solid mechanical connection is created.
  • an elevation 10 is arranged between the two longitudinal side webs 3 and 4, which rests on the bottom 2 and occupies approximately half the height of the longitudinal side webs 3 and 4.
  • the elevation 10 is bounded by boundary walls 11 and 12 in the longitudinal direction of the connector 1.
  • the boundary walls project beyond the elevation 10 and have the same height as the two longitudinal side webs 3 and 4.
  • additional sealing lips can be attached, which are able to invest in the inner sides of the hollow sections. But it is also conceivable that the boundary walls 11 and 12 project slightly beyond the longitudinal side webs 3 and 4 and thus ensure a seal to the hollow profile walls.
  • the deferred hollow sections can caulk in the area of the survey 10.
  • a sealant is applied to the elevation 10, into which the hollow profiles can be caulked. But even without caulking ensures the sealant for a seal of the shock between two hollow profile ends, so that a gas-tight connection is created without further effort must be operated.
  • the longitudinal side webs 3 and 4 may each have a recess 14 corresponding to the contour formed by the elevation 10 and the boundary walls 11 and 12, so that sealing means can also reach the sides of the hollow profiles. In addition, caulking is facilitated because the hollow profile is able to yield even in the lateral area.
  • butyl is often used, which is also used for bonding the discs.
  • the connector 1 according to the invention can be used universally. On the one hand, it can be used as a connector for hollow sections without special requirements. For this he is simply plugged into the hollow sections.
  • the connector has a desiccant stop, so that in the hollow profiles introduced desiccant is unable to penetrate to the joint of the hollow sections.
  • the connector is caulked in the middle region.
  • the connector for gas-tight connections can be used by a sealant is applied to the survey 10.
  • sealant is already prefabricated applied to the connector.
  • plug-in connectors can be plugged into these applications for all applications, in contrast to known connectors.
  • prefabricated hollow sections are provided with connectors and these are then delivered to the processors. This is made possible by the clamping of the connector in the hollow sections with its slats 5.
  • reinforcing bumps 51 are provided, which connect to the projections 10 in the connector longitudinal direction and extend in both longitudinal halves of the connector. These reinforcing projections 51 have approximately the height of the side webs 3 and 4 and are placed on the bottom 2.
  • the reinforcing raised portions 51 serve to absorb buckling and shearing forces in the joint region of the hollow profiles and, on the other hand, to absorb the forces occurring during caulking of the hollow profiles.
  • the reinforcing bumps 51 may still have recesses 52, which are surrounded by a wall portion 53. In these recesses 51 into a caulking can also be done. When caulking the surrounding wall portions 53 are deformed, thus achieving a secure attachment of the hollow sections.
  • corresponding catching hooks on the hollow profiles in these recesses 52 It is conceivable, for example, that the inwardly projecting remnants of a perforation of the hollow profile engage there.
