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.
  • Such connectors are used in insulating glass for connecting spacer hollow profiles for insulating glass panes.
  • Such a connector is provided with a bottom part and two longitudinal side edges, which may be formed as a leg rising from the ground, wherein the bottom part together with the longitudinal side edges forms the body of the connector.
  • upstanding holding and compensating elements are arranged, which may be at least approximately perpendicular to the ground.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a connector which ensures not only an at least largely the same contact pressure of the retaining means and thus even with different spacer hollow profiles equally good support even with large tolerances of the spacer hollow profile and even with spacer hollow profiles at both ends of the tolerance range as constant as possible Having force for inserting the connector in the spacer hollow profile, but also ensures a secure and above all wobble-free fit of the connector in the spacer hollow profile.
  • one of the two legs in the full height occupies a shorter length of the connector and the other leg occupies a greater length of the connector, preferably one leg in its full height in about about a quarter of the connector length extends and the other leg extends about half of the connector length.
  • the holding and compensating elements are inclined against the insertion direction, wherein the inclination angle between 5 and 20 °, preferably between 5 and 10 ° may be.
  • cross section of the holding and compensating elements is at least approximately oval or round.
  • This embodiment ensures a very good Festkrallen the holding elements on the inside of the spacer hollow profile.
  • Another extremely advantageous embodiment is also present when the holding and compensating elements are formed tapering starting from their base.
  • the holding and compensating elements can be given a desired elasticity, whereby they also adapt very well to different dimensions of the hollow profile and compensate for tolerances.
  • the contact pressure remains almost constant over a wide range, which is why the connectors hold very well in the hollow profile.
  • the limbs in the region of the holding and compensating elements have a height which is reduced at least approximately in accordance with the height of the holding and compensating elements.
  • the holding and compensating elements project beyond the legs at least slightly.
  • the connector is formed bevelled at its ends.
  • tapered ends of the connector can be particularly safe and easily inserted into the hollow sections. A machine plugging is made easier and safer.
  • Another very advantageous embodiment of the invention is also present if 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.
  • 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.
  • the fins 7 can deform elastically and thus able to adapt to the respective hollow profile.
  • 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 compensating element 9 may be elastically resilient and on the one hand ensures that the hollow sections abut against the middle stops 8. 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 outwardly projecting slats 7 may extend over a part or the entire height of the side webs 5 and 6 respectively.
  • the lamellae 7 may be formed starting from the side bars 5 and 6, respectively, tapered.
  • the taper of the slats 7 can be done stepwise or linear. Discontinuous taper profiles are also conceivable.
  • the lamellae 7 have on at least a portion of their height an additional support member 10 which may be formed on a lamella 7 and ensures that this lamella 7 and the adjacent lamella 7, for example, from a predetermined bend together able to support.
  • this support member 10 can also be formed so that the two fins are connected to each other at least over part of their extent.
  • the support member 10 may act as a directly integrally formed on a blade 7 stiffening element, so that the blade 7 undergoes a selective change in the elasticity.
  • 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 45 and 60 °. Other angles of inclination are conceivable.
  • the slats 7 protrude at least approximately perpendicularly from the longitudinal side webs 5 and 6 and can be bent during insertion into a hollow profile.
  • 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. These fins 7 can have a thickness of less than one millimeter. The fins 7 can also be arranged densely packed. The distance between two adjacent lamellae 7 may be smaller than the thickness thereof.
  • the fins 7 in the illustrated example extend in height direction only over part of the height of the hollow section.
  • 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. In order to ensure a good sealing is provided for each side bar and for each insertion direction at least one barrier plate 7a.
  • 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 carry on their side facing away from the bottom surface 2 side holding and compensating elements 12 which are aligned at least approximately perpendicular to the bottom surface.
  • These holding and compensating elements 12 have a round, oval or even angular cross-section and are formed as discrete elevations.
  • the holding and compensating elements 12 can be tilted slightly counter to the direction of insertion to the rear, with angles of inclination of 10 ° have proven to be very beneficial.
  • the holding and compensating elements 12 are at least slightly chamfered in the insertion direction.
  • the holding and compensating elements 12 are also selectively elastic and thus able to adapt to different hollow profile dimensions. It is influenced by the shape of the holding and balancing elements 12, their dimensions and their number on the one hand, the force that must be spent in order to use the connector 1 in the respective hollow profile can. On the other hand, but also the restraining force of the connector 1 is controlled in the hollow profile.
  • the contact pressure of the holding devices 12 remains at least approximately constant over this entire area.
  • the holding devices 12 can be formed tapered in linear or stepwise form. Likewise, discrete stiffening elements are possible.
  • the holding and compensating elements 12 are arranged in the region of the longitudinal side webs 5 and 6, which in favor of the holding and compensating elements 12 in the region of this have a lower height.
  • the holding and compensating elements 12 are mostly arranged instead of the longitudinal side webs 5 and 6.
  • the holding and compensating elements 12 project beyond the longitudinal side webs 5 and 6 slightly in order to create the inside of the spacer hollow profile.
  • the longitudinal side webs 5 and 6 are increased in this area back to its full height.
  • the longitudinal side web 6 extends at its full height over about a quarter of the connector length, whereas the longitudinal side web 5 extends over about half the connector length.
  • 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.
  • the connector according to the invention can be used in all types of hollow profiles. Conceivable is the use of aluminum, steel, stainless steel, but also plastic profiles.
  • 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.
