Definitions

  • the invention relates to a connector with U- or box-shaped cross-section, which is designed as a straight, angled, corner or crossing connector, for spacer hollow sections for insulating glass panes with a bottom part and two longitudinal side edges, which may be formed as upstanding leg, wherein the bottom part together with the longitudinal side edges forms the body of the connector, wherein on the longitudinal side edges outwardly projecting, elastically deformable lamellae can be arranged for each male portion, which can be made inclined or bent, wherein the inclination or bending are formed in the insertion direction to the rear can.
  • hollow sections are usually made of flat material and welded longitudinally. The weld was previously placed on the later outer side of the hollow profile, which was sealed by butyl or the like and so was no longer visible.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to propose a connector that is on the one hand easy to use in such a novel hollow profile, but still taut and safe sitting in it.
  • the connector should also be used for conventional hollow sections.
  • the slats or legs can embrace the weld.
  • the recesses ensure so that the slats or legs still rest against the walls of the hollow section and can be supported there.
  • the recesses are at least approximately part-circular or rectangular.
  • a further very advantageous embodiment of the invention is also provided when elevations are provided at the ends of the legs pointing away from the bottom part, which can be formed as run-on slopes and / or latching noses. These locking lugs can also extend to a part of the outside of the legs.
  • projections are provided on the side facing away from the legs of the bottom part, which can be formed as chamfers and / or locking lugs and thereby occupy at least part of the width of the bottom part.
  • At least one stop is provided, which is able to limit the insertion length of the connector in a hollow profile, wherein the stops can be arranged on the longitudinal side edges of the connector and formed elastically.
  • the connector is centered in the area of the stops.
  • Another very advantageous embodiment of the invention is when the recesses together form a pointing in the connector longitudinal channel, which may be formed separately for each insertion.
  • the raised weld can engage in the recesses and the channel formed by them.
  • elevations or elevations are provided in the recesses which can serve as latching lugs and can also be formed as chamfers.
  • elevations or elevations may be supported on the weld and hooked on bumps thereof.
  • the recesses are formed asymmetrically in the connector height direction and / or in the connector longitudinal direction.
  • a U-shaped connector with a bottom part 2 and two adjoining the longitudinal side edges 3 and 4 longitudinal side webs 5 and 6 respectively.
  • a center stop 8 is likewise provided on the outer sides of the longitudinal side webs 5 and 6 for each insertion direction, which limits the insertion depth of the connector 1 into the hollow profiles.
  • the center stops 8 are each assigned a compensation element 9, which is provided opposite the center stops 8 on the other longitudinal side web 5 and 6 respectively.
  • the compensation element 9 ensures that the hollow sections abut against the middle stops 8 and may be resilient. On the other hand compensated for any manufacturing tolerances of the hollow profile. A wobble of the connector 1 in the hollow profile is avoided. But it is also conceivable that can be dispensed with the compensation element 9.
  • the outwardly projecting slats 7 may extend over a part or the entire height of the side webs 5 and 6 respectively.
  • recesses 10 are provided, which are arranged in this embodiment, approximately in the middle of the height of the fins 7 and formed semicircular.
  • recesses 10 can engage an inwardly projecting weld on the hollow profile.
  • the slats 7 are supported on the wall and ensure that the connector 1 is not accidentally pulled out of the hollow section.
  • elevations may be provided in the recesses 10, which in turn are able to support the weld of the hollow section.
  • the elevations may be formed as inclined in the insertion direction bevels, to ensure easier insertion of the connector 1 in the hollow profile.
  • the run-on slopes can also very well catch on even the smallest bumps in the weld and thus prevent unwanted pulling out of the connector from a hollow profile.
  • a plurality of recesses 10 in a row can form an at least approximately rectilinear channel, in which the weld can be introduced.
  • the channel deviates from the connector longitudinal direction and thus generates an additional jamming at the weld.
  • the channel is curved or at least bent and so produces the same result.
  • the recesses 10 can also be chamfered accordingly to ensure easy sliding and a firm grip.
  • the slats 7 are inclined in the illustrated example opposite to the insertion of the connector 1 into the hollow profile to the rear. Particularly good results in terms of the insertion force to be applied and the force required to pull out the connectors again from the hollow profile were achieved at inclinations between 30 and 60 °. Other angles of inclination are conceivable.
  • the fins 7 are elastic and can each be relatively easily formed by itself. In order to ensure a sufficient hold of the connector in the hollow profile, a plurality of fins 7 is provided.
  • the fins 7 in the illustrated example extend in height direction only over part of the height of the hollow section.
  • butyl bead locking elements 12 may be provided, since there the hollow profile has a very high rigidity.
  • This desiccant should not get to the abutting edge of the hollow profile ends to be joined, since there is the danger that the desiccant exits into the disc interior and there provides impurities that are undesirable.
  • single lamellae 7 are formed as locking lamellae 7a, which are formed over the remaining lamellae 7 excessive and have a contour which is adapted to the inner contour of the hollow profile.
  • the locking lamellae 7a can also be provided in addition to the lamellae 7.
  • at least one barrier plate 7a is provided for each side bar and for each insertion.
  • transverse locking slats 11 are provided between the side bars 5 and 6 .
  • a desiccant pass through the connector 1 is prevented. Even in the middle area can thus no more desiccant reach the joint of the hollow profile ends.
  • the side bars 5 and 6 may additionally still carry on their side facing away from the bottom surface 2 side locking lugs 12 which may be formed as chamfers in the insertion direction of the connector.
  • locking lugs 13 may be provided, which may also be formed as chamfers. These locking lugs 13 can be supported on the corresponding inner side of the hollow profile and dig there even the smallest bumps. It is also conceivable that the locking lugs 13 are supported on Perforationsbuckeln, which were introduced into the hollow section to allow moisture to enter the filled with a molecular sieve hollow section.
  • the ends of the connector 1 may be formed chamfered to facilitate insertion into the hollow profile ends. A machine plugging or plugging is supported.
  • a universally applicable connector is created, which can be used as a straight, angled, cross or corner connector for spacer hollow profiles but also for rungs, cross bars or the like.
  • the connector according to the invention can be used in all types of hollow profiles.
  • Conceivable is the use in aluminum, steel, stainless steel, but also plastic profiles, but especially in profiles that have at least one side edge inwardly projecting weld.
  • the connectors 1 may be made of plastic, fiber reinforced plastic, aluminum, metal or steel. Other materials are conceivable.
  • the use of the connector 1 is conceivable in all formats of insulating glass panes.
  • the retention force is also sufficient for large display windows with large dimensions. Even in the production of such, often several meters large slices, the spacer hollow profile ends are held securely.
  • the recesses 10 may be arranged distributed symmetrically on the connector 1, so that it can be used in any direction of insertion. However, it is also conceivable to define a predetermined insertion direction and fit to specific hollow profiles by the arrangement of the recesses 10.
  • the recesses 10 can also be arranged directly in the longitudinal side webs 5 and 6, in which case slats 7 are dispensed with.
  • the connector shown there is designated 21.
  • the arranged on the bottom of the bottom surface 2 locking elements 13 occupy at least approximately the full width of the connector 21.
  • 2 sliding surfaces 22 may be provided on the outer edges of the bottom surface, which allow easier insertion of the connector into the respective hollow profile. The hold of the connector 21 is not adversely affected.
