Definitions

  • the invention relates to the combination of two hollow ends of profiles using a connector inserted in said ends, the ends of profiles being made of synthetic material as defined in the preamble of claim 1.
  • a such association is used in particular to form the spacer frame of an insulating glazing unit.
  • a well-known type of insulating glazing unit comprises two sheets of glass which are spaced apart by a gas strip such as air and which are spaced apart and joined together by means of a spacer frame consisting of folded hollow profiles or profiles. assembled by median and / or corner pieces called connectors. 90 ° corner pieces are commonly called squares.
  • the profiles are filled with a molecular sieve which has the role of absorbing the water molecules trapped in the air gap at the time of manufacture of the glazing and which would be likely to condense in cold weather, causing the appearance of mist.
  • the spacer frame is glued to the glass sheets by a butyl rubber elastomer bead applied directly to the profiles forming the spacer frame by extrusion through a nozzle.
  • the elastomeric sealing bead plays a role in temporarily holding the glass sheets. Finally, is injected into the peripheral groove defined by the two glass sheets and the spacer frame a crosslinkable sealant of the polysulfide or polyurethane type which completes the mechanical assembly of the glass sheets.
  • Butyl rubber has primarily as a role of sealing the interior of the glazing with water vapor, while the sealant provides a seal with liquid water or solvents.
  • the hollow profiles used are generally metallic, such as aluminum. However, synthetic profiles have been used for some time, as described in the patent application. EP 0 852 280 ; they thus have a lower coefficient of thermal conductivity generating a better thermal insulation power for the glazing.
  • the assembly of the ends of the profiles to form the frame is obtained by metal connectors, or at least synthetic-based connectors and comprising fixing elements and retaining metal.
  • the connector is forced into the hollow ends of the profiles and held firmly by lateral retaining protrusions.
  • the projections are for example oriented in the opposite direction to the direction of traction in which the ends of the profiles should be pulled in case of disassembly.
  • a connector is for example described in the patent application EP 0 283 689 .
  • this type of connector has, especially at the side projections, sharp corners that can cause risk of injury when handling the connector.
  • the connector When the connector is not exclusively made of metal, it has at least its elements projecting attachment and retaining metal, for example in the form of a needle which protrudes from either side of the side faces of the connector.
  • these metal retainers bite into the plastic of the profiles during the cooperation of the connector and the profiles, which creates internal grooves weakening the ends of the profiles.
  • the patent application FR 2,604,210 proposes a connector which, provided with side retaining projections, is however plastic material which advantageously allows the removal of all sharp corners, and therefore the risk of injury resulting therefrom.
  • This connector is nevertheless easy to nest in the hollow ends of profiles, and without risk of embrittlement for them, because of the different metallic material constituting the ends of profiles. Indeed, at the time of the disclosure of this document, the existing profiles were exclusively metallic.
  • the document DE 40 02 338 discloses a connector whose upper surface of the connector is plastic mixed with metal powder in a mass proportion of 51 to 80% of metal powder.
  • the invention therefore aims to achieve an association between two ends of profiles that are made from a synthetic material, using a connector that allows easy and reliable assembly of the profiles, or the profile if the one It is folded on itself, while avoiding the risk of injury when handling this connector and / or the weakening or even the destruction of the elements once connected.
  • the invention therefore relates to an association as defined in claim 1.
  • a material that responds to the anchoring means of the invention has, for example, a modulus of elasticity in flexion of between 3500 and 9000 MPa, this modulus of flexural elasticity being measured according to the ISO 178 and ISO 527 standards.
  • the flexible anchoring means exerts a constraint opposing the tensile force that would be implemented if it was desired massive removal of the connector out of the ends of the profiles by pulling on these ends. Due to the flexibility of this anchoring means, the constraint is well less than a rigid constraint on a continuous surface that would otherwise lead to the bursting of the ends of sections.
  • the connector being solely synthetic material, this saves material cost and manufacturing cost, because of the simplicity of the manufacturing process, for example by a simple molding of the part, and thus avoid additional quality control as it was necessary to practice when the anchoring means were made for example of metal elements to be secured and properly position on the sides of the plastic connector.
  • the anchoring means and the connector body are made of the same synthetic material.
  • the section of the connector considered according to its smallest extension, and at the level of the flexible anchoring means is oversized with respect to the internal dimensions of the ends of profiles.
  • the connector comprises at each wing at least one flexible anchoring means.
  • the anchoring means also comprise rigid pins protruding on either side of two opposite sides of each of the wings. These rigid anchoring means cause a point constraint against the inner walls of the ends of sections which is therefore located at certain points only, which makes it possible to prevent inadvertent removal of the connector from the ends of the profiles without risk of bursting of the ends. .
  • the nipples also have the advantage of positioning the connector by centering it in the ends of the profiles, which ensures a perfectly parallel abutment ends.
  • the flexible anchoring means is secured to an extension of a wing, the extension being in its two smaller extensions of smaller dimension than the associated wing, and the anchoring means being projecting in relation to the said extension.
  • the smaller size thickness and width of the extension of the wing relative to the wing itself allows to evacuate material around the flexible anchoring means which then has a freedom of folding and elasticity laterally and longitudinally, the extension serving only to support the base of the flexible anchoring means.
  • each wing of the connector has two opposite longitudinal faces, and two opposite lateral faces extending along the widest extension of the wing and respectively connecting the two longitudinal faces, at least one flexible anchoring means. of each wing, on at least one of its sides, projecting from a plane containing one of the lateral faces of a wing.
  • the flexible anchoring means is in the form of a lip and advantageously comprises a base which is integral with the extension of the wing, an extension which protrudes from the extension and is inclined towards the middle portion of the connector, and a free end which is in contact with the inner walls of the ends of sections.
  • lip means an element which protrudes with respect to the part of a body supporting it and which has a thin thickness, much less than the thickness of said part of the body. In one application, the thickness is of the order of 0.5 mm.
  • the height h 1 which corresponds to the greatest height of the section of the connector, according to the small extension of the section, is established at the level of at least one flexible anchoring means, and is greater than the internal height h 2 of a profile end.
  • the dimensional variation in height ⁇ h between h 1 and h 2 does not exceed 0.5 mm.
  • the width l 1 which corresponds to the largest width of the section of the connector, according to the small extension of the section, is also established at at least one flexible anchoring means, and is larger than the inner width of the hollow ends of sections.
  • the dimensional variation of width ⁇ l between the two widths l 1 and l 2 at at least one side of a wall of a profile end is at most 0.5 mm.
  • the width of the flexible anchoring means is greater than the internal width of a profile end in having a dimensional variation on two opposite sides of the inside of the profile end, and equally and symmetrically with respect to the longitudinal axis of the wing.
  • the flexible anchoring means has a thickness e and a length L such that the ratio e / L ⁇ 1/3, and preferably e / L ⁇ 1/4, which makes it possible to reduce the constraints even more. against the sides of the profile ends when the connector is in place.
  • At least one flexible anchoring means has its free end which is beveled, in the direction opposite to the middle part of the connector. In this way, it is even more difficult to remove the connector from the ends of the profiles once in place.
  • the middle portion of the connector has lateral protuberances which serve as stops at the two ends of profiles which are respectively engaged around the two wings.
  • the median portion comprises sealing means which cover the abutment zone of the ends of the profiles against said middle part.
  • This association between a connector, which can be angular or slender, and two ends of sections, is therefore particularly used to form a frame, including a frame to form the interlayer of an insulating glass.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 illustrate the association or partial association of two hollow ends 10 and 11 of profiles which are connected by abutment using a connector 2.
  • the ends of the profiles are made of synthetic material, such as thermoplastic material of the SAN type, reinforced with glass fibers, and are provided in particular on one of their faces with a thin metal coating.
  • the abutment of these two ends serves in particular to form a spacer frame for the manufacture of an insulating glass.
  • European EP 0 852 280 For more details on the nature of the profiles forming this frame, please refer to the patent application European EP 0 852 280 .
  • the frame can be formed of a single folded profile in the corners, as described in the folding method disclosed in the EP 0 875 654 - B1 , the two free ends of the profile can then be connected by a connector of the invention of oblong shape in the manner illustrated on the figure 1 according to a long line.
  • the frame consists of a plurality of sections cut along the length of each side of the glazing, the two ends of two respective adjacent sections are connected by a corner connector of the invention to the illustrated way on the figure 2 according to an angular junction, of the 90 ° type (square).
  • the oblong connector and the corner connector have a body 20 which has a middle portion 21, and two wings 22 and 23 extending on either side of the median portion along a longitudinal axis B.
  • the two wings are oriented in the same direction for the oblong connector, and in two angularly separate directions for the corner connector.
  • the length of an elongated connector of one end of the wing at the end of the other wing along the longitudinal axes B is about 50 mm for example; the section of the connector, according to its small extension in a plane perpendicular to the axes B, has a height of the order of 3 to 10 mm and a width of 6 to 30 mm.
  • Sealing means 4 are then provided arranged on the middle portion 21 and covering the abutment zones ( figure 2 ).
  • the body 20 of the connector is according to the invention made of a synthetic material, such as plastic optionally filled with reinforcing fibers, for example glass fibers, preferably obtained by injection molding.
  • plastics may be polyamide, polyethylene, SAN or polypropylene.
  • the wings 22 and 23 are of substantially parallelepiped shape. They each have two opposite longitudinal faces 24 and 25, and two opposite side walls 26 and 27 extending in the widest extension of a wing and being connected to the longitudinal faces 24 and 25.
  • the side walls 26 and 27 have nipples 28 and 29 ( figure 3 ) which are intended to cooperate with the inner walls of the ends of profiles to form rigid anchoring means of the connector in the hollow ends, thus firmly holding the ends of the profiles.
  • the rigid nipples also center the connector inside the ends of the sections thus making it possible to have the two ends of the profiles facing each other in parallel.
  • Each of the wings 22, 23 further comprises at its free end at least one, and preferably, two parallel and spaced apart flexible lips 30 which constitute additional anchoring means for the connector engaged in the ends of the profiles.
  • These flexible anchoring means have for the function that they must fulfill a flexibility or elasticity, which is obtained, on the one hand, thanks to the same material constituting them and to their shape, and on the other hand, because they are lacking around them material except the minimum material necessary for their attachment to the wings of the connector.
  • the flexible lips are made from a substantially elastic plastic material, such as polyamide, polypropylene, or SAN, preferably filled to about 30% of glass-type reinforcing fibers.
  • a substantially elastic plastic material such as polyamide, polypropylene, or SAN, preferably filled to about 30% of glass-type reinforcing fibers.

  • the roughness of the plastic material of the lips is adapted to the plastic material forming the interior of the hollow ends.
  • Each lip has a base 32, an extension 33 and an upper end 34.
  • the base 32 is anchored at an extension 24a of the parallelepipedal body of the wing.
  • One of the faces of the extension is in the continuity of one of the longitudinal faces, here 24, of the wing.
  • the lips are projecting only with respect to a single face of the extension 24a, the end 34 of the lips cooperating with the inside of the hollow ends of the profiles, while in opposite manner the opposite longitudinal face.
  • 24 of a wing receives by application the inner wall of the hollow ends of profiles. The face 24 thus plays a role of stability of the connector in the ends of the profiles.
  • the extension 24a simply ensures the mechanical strength of the lips on the wings of the connector, the lips projecting here from the extension in two directions perpendicular to the longitudinal axes B. Also, the extension has a thickness much less than the thickness of the body of the wing; the thickness is reduced to more than half the height of the side faces 26 and 27 of the wing. And the width of the extension is less than the width of a wing which separates the two opposite lateral faces 26 and 27.
  • the extension 33 of a lip starts at its base 32 and is preferably perpendicular to the web of the extension 24a of the wing ( figure 6 ). Then it is extended by being inclined towards the middle part 21 of the connector at an angle ⁇ with respect to the core of between 45 and 90 ° ( Figures 5 and 6 ). It ends with its upper end 34.
  • the width of the lips corresponds to the largest width l 1 of the section of the connector.
  • This width is according to the invention substantially larger than the internal width l 2 of the hollow end of the profile, so that the connector is necessarily inserted in force in the hollow end, and exerts once in place a stress on the internal walls of the profile end which is just necessary to ensure the mechanical end of the profile end around the connector.
  • the lateral dimensional variation ⁇ l between the two widths l 1 and l 2 which may be on one or both sides of a lip, shall not exceed 0,5 mm ( figure 4 ).

  • the over-dimensioning of the connector at the level of the lips according to a height ⁇ h and a width ⁇ l with respect to the internal walls of the hollow ends of profiles is advantageously calculated not to exert too much stress.
  • This oversizing prevents massive removal of the connector if it was to be shot.
  • the unwanted withdrawal of the connector in the mounted position is, for its part, prevent by a higher stress but which is not likely to burst the ends of the profiles because this constraint is very localized (punctual) and obtained by the rigid nipples 28 and 29.
  • the flexible lips 30 and 31 thus constitute a retaining system protruding from the faces of the wings of the connector, so as to keep locked the connector, once engaged in the hollow ends of sections. They prevent massive removal of the connector from the ends of the profiles. Indeed, because of the elasticity and inclination of the lips, the latter deform all the more in the opposite direction to the direction of pull that would be imposed if we wanted to pull on the ends of profiles.
  • the inclination according to the angle ⁇ of the extension 33 is necessary to oppose the traction of the connector if it were to be removed from the ends of the profiles; it is furthermore preferred to give the extension a perpendicular slenderness before inclination, as described above with regard to the figure 6 , in order to facilitate the engagement of the connector in the ends of profiles.
  • the upper end 34 of the lips is preferably beveled at an angle of inclination ⁇ relative to the base 32, in the direction opposite to the middle portion 21 of the connector. This inclination thus opposes the direction of traction that should be imposed if it were necessary to remove the connector of the hollow end, thus preventing further removal of the connector.
  • the extension 33 of a lip preferably has a thickness e and a length L such that the ratio e / L ⁇ 1/3, in particular e / L ⁇ 1/4.
  • the thickness e is for example 0.5 mm.
  • the length L corresponds to the size of the beginning of the base 32 to the free end 34. The optimization of this dimensional ratio e / L makes it possible to further reduce the stresses against the walls of the ends of the profiles when the connector is in place.
