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 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, preferably elastically deformable lamellae are 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, wherein the connector has in its stop region for the spacer hollow profiles, thus preferably in its central region of its longitudinal extent a sealing means for sealing against the spacer hollow profile.
  • Connectors of this type are known. Connectors are also known, which provide an at least extensive gas tightness after assembly in the region of the joints of the spacer hollow profiles.
  • This gas-tightness is produced by soft sealants, which are usually made of butyl.
  • Butylmassen must either be applied directly to the processing of the connectors on this or it must be provided a cover strip, which covers the butyl compound on prefabricated connector and protects it.
  • Such a connector having the features according to the preamble of claim 1 is known, which has a U- or box-shaped cross-section and in the middle of its longitudinal extent a survey which points in the direction of the open side of the U-profile. On this survey either a sealant may be arranged or the survey is provided with elevations, which themselves produce a seal.
  • the object of the invention is to propose a connector which has an at least largely gas-tightness on the spacer hollow profiles and does not have the aforementioned disadvantages of the known connector, as well as vorsteckbar.
  • This object is achieved in that the sealing device is designed as a stopper seal and the connector at least partially surrounds, and is mounted longitudinally displaceable on the connector.
  • the joint of the spacer hollow profile is sealed.
  • the sealing effect is generated at the essential points. Due to the longitudinal displacement, the center finding is not hindered by the sealing device.
  • the sealing device is automatically aligned in the correct position.
  • Another very advantageous embodiment of the invention is when the sealing device is at least partially wedge-shaped.
  • the sealing device has a stop for the hollow profile.
  • the insertion length of the connector is limited in the hollow profile and also ensures that the hollow profile end always comes to rest in the region of the sealing device.
  • the sealing device has a sealing lip at least at one edge, which is capable of embracing the hollow profile.
  • the sealing device is arranged in the region of a Einsteckantsch the connector.
  • the position of the connector is set relative to the abutting edges of the spacer hollow profile.
  • plug-in stops are arranged in the region of the middle of the longitudinal extension of the connector, wherein the stops can be provided on the outer sides of the side webs.
  • the sealing device is made of an elastic material, in particular of a rubber or rubber-like material.
  • 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. However, this is just one of the many Design possibilities.
  • the openings 8 and recesses 9 are not necessarily provided as well as caulking.
  • annular seal 10 is arranged, which surrounds the connector 1. This seal 10 is able to be supported on the front edges of the spacer hollow profiles and seals the joint so from.
  • a support strut 11 which is located directly under the seal 10 and supports it in the region of the open side of the connector 1.
  • the seal 10 can not dodge inward so.
  • a stopper rib 12 is provided, which is associated with a seal 10 on both sides.
  • the seal 10 can, as in Fig. 1 shown beveled to the spacer hollow profiles out or be box-shaped, so that the spacer hollow profile can slide over the seal 10. But it is also conceivable that only the front edge of the spacer hollow profile presses against the seal.
  • seal 10 has a leg, which is also comprised of at least one outer side of the spacer hollow profile of the seal 10.
  • the seal 10 may be made of a rubber or rubber-like material. But even soft plastics that are able to snuggle up to the spacer hollow profile and seal against it are conceivable.
  • the seal 10 may be made as a separate part, which is pushed over the connector 1. Also, the seal 10 can be molded onto the connector 1.
  • this can also be movably mounted on the connector 1, so that the seal 10 automatically adjusts to the joint of two spacer hollow profiles.
  • the seal 10 itself has a stop which limits the insertion depth of the connector 1 in a spacer hollow profile.
  • the gas-tight connector can also be plugged very well, which significantly reduces the processing times of spacer hollow profiles.
  • Fig. 5 instead of a straight connector, an angle connector 51 is shown, which has a corner piece 52 in the corner region. This is followed by two connector halves 53 and 54 at.
  • a seal 10 is provided in each case, which is equipped in each case for a hollow profile end.
  • the connectors can also be equipped with compensating and holding elements, which rise from the bottom 2 and can be arranged at least in the region of the longitudinal side webs 3 and 4.
  • 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. By the seal 10, the discharge of drying agent is effectively prevented.
  • the connector can be used for gas-tight connections.
  • the connectors can be plugged in, in contrast to known gastight connectors.
