Definitions

  • the invention relates to a connector for connecting posts and transoms of facade systems, in particular of glass facade systems.
  • the object of the invention is to propose a connector which can be used in many ways for a wide variety of profile depths, and also different
  • a connector of this type With a connector of this type, a wide variety of posts and transoms for glass facades can be securely but easily connected to one another. A wide range of applications can be covered by the receptacle for a locking bolt and at least one screw channel.
  • a locking bolt is inserted into the receptacle and secured there in particular by pressing, latching, gluing or the like.
  • the latch can simply be snapped into the corresponding holes in the respective post afterwards.
  • the connection is secured again by additional screwing.
  • the connector can be used with or without a locking bolt.
  • one or more screw channels are provided in one leg of the connector.
  • This receptacle can for example be designed as a groove or the like and accommodate a seal between the bolt and the post. Looking through this joint can thus be avoided.
  • Another embodiment of the invention that is very advantageous according to the invention is also provided when at least one adhesive section is provided on at least one leg of the connector.
  • the connector can be fixed and fastened in the bolt at least temporarily.
  • Another very advantageous embodiment is also present when a guiding part is provided for guiding adhesive.
  • adhesive can be directed to the areas to be bonded.
  • openings and / or channels are provided for injecting, distributing and / or controlling the distribution of adhesive.
  • injection points can be reduced to a minimum, ideally to a central injection point.
  • the control openings can be used to ensure that the adhesive has flowed in sufficient quantities to all required locations.
  • the connector is made from a cast part, in particular a metal cast part, wherein the screw channel can be lined with a material that is softer on the other hand.
  • Such a combination of materials can ensure a very good strength of the connector without adversely affecting the screwing behavior of the screws into the screw channels.
  • a set of assembly tools for positioning a connector according to the invention is present if a receptacle for one or more connectors and a stop is provided to ensure the correct position in the bolt.
  • the connector can be inserted without any problems and the assembly tool can also be removed again thanks to the single lever actuation.
  • the correct contour can be selected, especially in the case of locking bolts with differently designed contact contours. But it is also conceivable that with this tool the locking bolt is inserted into the intended receptacle of the connector and fixed there by locking or screwing.
  • An assembly tool that is extremely advantageous according to the invention for assembling bars equipped with the connectors according to the invention between two posts is given when a guide device is provided for attachment to a respective post.
  • Such a guide device not only facilitates the pushing in of the bolt, but also ensures that any seal is not damaged when pushed in.
  • the guide device essentially covers the post on its side cheek and extends to the desired locking hole.
  • the connector is first fixed in the bolt with an adhesive section and then finally fixed in the bolt by injecting liquid adhesive.
  • a screw is screwed into a screw channel of the connector in the area of the bolt, and preferably into the upper screw channel if there are several screw channels one above the other.
  • transoms are screwed directly onto the post with their ends. However, this is often not sufficient for a high static load.
  • By screwing the bolt to the screw channel of the connector any remaining play is also removed from the overall system.
  • the screw size and the screw channel are appropriately coordinated with one another, at least a slight expansion can be achieved.
  • the connectors can be screwed to the post or fixed with locking bolts.
  • Another very advantageous use is when, before the bolt is brought together with the post, a seal is inserted into the intended receptacle of the connector, which seal is able to seal at least the transparency of the connection.
  • a base plate of an angle connector 2 denotes.
  • a leg 3 is arranged on one side edge of the base plate 1 and extends at least approximately at right angles to the base plate 1. The angle enclosed by the leg 3 and the base plate 1 is between 80 and 95 °.
  • leg 3 In the leg 3, starting from the base plate 1, two screw channels 4 and 5 are provided, into which the fastening screws can be screwed. Bores 8 are provided in the base plate 1. The bore 8 is used to fasten the angle connector 2 to a post 41.
  • a recess 9 is also provided, which can be designed as a bore, but is designed to be flattened at two points in the present embodiment. A locking bolt 10 can be inserted into this recess 9, as shown in FIG Fig. 2 is shown.
  • the flattened areas create an effective anti-rotation device that secures an inserted locking bolt against accidental rotation.
  • the locking bolt 10 of the present embodiment is equipped at its end pointing away from the base plate with two lugs 11 and 12, with which it is able to support itself in a corresponding hole in the post 41.
  • the two lugs 11 and 12 have different thicknesses and each cover a radius of the locking bolt 10. If the locking bolt 10 is pressed in, it can be rotated because the anti-rotation device is not effective in this position. When rotating, the approach 11 or the approach 12 can be aligned so that it is effective. When the other position is reached, the anti-rotation lock engages again and the locking bolt snaps out.
  • the spring not shown, which loads the locking bolt, is covered and secured by a hat-shaped cover 13.
  • the cover 13 is caulked in the base plate 1 of the connector 2.
  • the locking bolt 10 is manufactured as a closed unit which is screwed, pressed or locked into the recess 9 by means of a bayonet function.
  • Other fastening methods are conceivable.
  • the angle connector 2 preferably an embodiment without a locking bolt 10 is screwed to a post 41 by means of screws 44 and then the bolt 42 is pushed over the angle connector 2.
  • a post with already mounted angle connectors 2 is pushed into the bolt 42.
  • a fixation is created by screwing one or more screws 44 into the screw channel 4 and / or 5. If the width of the screw channels 4 and 5 is appropriately matched to the screw diameter, an at least slight spreading of the leg 3 of the angle connector 2 can also be produced, which ensures additional fastening. Thereby play is also taken from the mullion-transom system.
  • the angle connector 2 is inserted into the bolt 42 and fixed there in the bolt 42 with an adhesive area 14 attached to the outside of the leg 3.
  • the bolt 42 equipped in this way with angle connectors 2 is then pushed between two posts 41.
  • the posts 41 have bores 43 into which the locking bolts 10 of the angle connector 2 are able to engage.
  • the locking pin 10 adjusted in advance.
  • the angle connector is finally fixed by screwing one or more screws 44 into the screw channels 4 and 5, respectively.
  • the adhesive area 14 can be protected by a cover, not shown. The cover is removed shortly before assembly.
  • the bolt 42 can also be fastened directly to the post 41 in the overlapping area of the front bracket with screws 44.
  • an assembly tool 51 can be used, into which one or even more angle connectors 2 are clipped and then inserted into the bolt 42 and positioned.
  • the assembly tool 51 has a stop 52 which determines the positioning relative to the end edge of the bolt 42.
  • a holding and releasing mechanism 53 fixes the angle connector 2 on the assembly tool 51.
  • a further assembly tool 61 can be provided which has a receptacle 62 for the locking bolt 10. With this tool 61, the assembly bolt can be pressed down and rotated until it is in the desired position.
  • a third assembly tool 71 is also conceivable, which facilitates the insertion of the bolt 42 between two already assembled posts 41 and prevents damage to the posts 41 by locking bolts 10 scratching along them.
  • the assembly tool 71 has a clamping strip 72 which can be clamped on the post 41 in the desired area.
  • a sliding part 73 extends from this terminal strip 72 and covers the side cheek of the post 41 in the assembly area. On this sliding part 73, the locking bolts 10 slide on the desired location and can then easily snap into the holes 43 provided in the post 41.
  • a second angle connector 2 can be attached in the area of the inner edge of the bolt 42.
  • the sliding part can cover the front hole 43 in the assembly direction and thus ensure that the locking bolts 10 can slide into the intended position and do not engage prematurely.
  • the assembly tool 71 is pulled out and the second locking bolt also engages.
  • angle connectors 2 are glued in the bolt 42 with liquid adhesive after they have been positioned at the desired location.
  • the angle connectors 2 can have channels for conducting the liquid adhesive in order to ensure easy handling.
  • a central injection opening 15 is provided, from which a distribution system 16 is provided to the side edges of the base plate 1 and of the leg 3.
  • the injection opening is attached to the base plate 1 in the middle of the transition to the leg 3.
  • each control openings 17 are made in the corners between the side edges and the front edge, by means of which it can be checked whether the adhesive has arrived at all the intended adhesive points. If adhesive emerges at these control openings 17, the adhesive is evenly distributed.
  • the distribution system 16 can be formed by individual bores in the angle connector 2. However, it is simpler and more effective if the angle connector is equipped on its side facing the bolt 42 with trenches or contours, which are covered by a cover part 21 and completed to form channels.
  • the cover part 21 can simply be slipped onto the angle connector 2.
  • a production of the cover part 21 from plastic, for example by injection molding is conceivable, since no special strength requirements have to be met here.
  • cover part 21 In order to ensure a good hold of the cover part 21, it can engage in an explicitly provided contour of the base plate 1.
  • retaining lugs 22 can be attached to the cover part 21 which engage in corresponding receiving openings 18 in the base plate 1 of the angle connector 2.
  • humps 19 can be provided which are able to encompass the cover part 21. This prevents the cover part from lifting off the leg 3 and thus also prevents the adhesive from escaping in an uncontrolled manner.
  • cover part 21 can also extend into the screw channels 4 and 5 and provide them with an additional lining structure 23.
  • this lining structure 23 is designed to be closed on the screw-in side and designed in the shape of a trench on the screw exit side. This further optimizes the screw-in behavior.
  • Such a connector 2 is now positioned in the bolt 42 and temporarily held there either with the assembly tool 51 or with the adhesive area 14. Then the Liquid glue injected. This usually hardens for a short time, as it is often a 2K adhesive that is not only very stable but also has a high aging stability.
  • the bolt 42 is then mounted between two posts 41 as already described above.
  • a recess 20 can be provided, into which a seal 46 can be inserted.
  • the recess must be provided on at least three sides of the bottom part in order to be able to provide a circumferential seal.
  • the recess 20 is designed to be circumferential and designed as a recess.
  • a seal against the entry of liquids is also conceivable.
  • the seal 46 can be designed to be resilient in a known manner, so that these tolerances between post 41 and bolt 42 can compensate. Another advantage here is that the seal can be pushed back slightly when the bolts 42 are fitted between posts 41 that have already been fitted, thus preventing damage to the seal.
  • the seal can also be used with connectors 2 pre-assembled on the post.
  • the seal is simply inserted around the screwed-on connector 2 into the recess 20.
  • the assembly of the seal 46 can be facilitated by the assembly tools described above.
  • expansion dowels instead of screws 44, expansion dowels, rivets or the like can also be provided. By using self-tapping screws, it is not necessary to provide a thread or the like.
  • the bolt 42 can also be screwed directly to the post 41 in a known manner.
  • the same screws 44 can be used for this purpose.
  • a sealing element 45 can also be placed between the post 41 and the bolt 42.
  • transom profiles 42 can thus be connected to posts 41 with just one angle piece 2. In contrast to known solutions, it is not necessary to use separate connecting elements for each profile.
  • the width of the angle piece 2 should be matched to the height of the locking profile 42.
  • the mounting devices 51, 61 and 71 can also be combined with one another.
