Definitions

  • the invention relates to a connector for spacer profiles for insulating glass panes with a base body which has a plug-in section on opposite sides, wherein the plug-in section is adapted to the spacer hollow profile, so that it can be inserted into the spacer hollow profile in one direction (plug-in direction), and a fuse unit, which is designed to secure an inserted spacer hollow profile against pulling out.
  • the invention further relates to a method for producing such a connector.
  • Connectors of the aforementioned type are well known and serve to connect so-called spacer hollow profiles together.
  • Spacer hollow sections are required for insulating glass panes to keep the two or more glass panes at a distance and also to seal the interior space between two panes of glass to the outside.
  • spacer hollow sections also referred to as spacers below, are connected to one another via plug connectors, such that the spacers are respectively inserted onto a longitudinal section, plug-in section, of the plug connector.
  • plug connectors such that the spacers are respectively inserted onto a longitudinal section, plug-in section, of the plug connector.
  • securing units are provided in the plug-in sections, which usually allow the insertion, the withdrawal of a spacer - if at all - allow only with great force.
  • a connector which has as a securing unit outwardly projecting, elastically deformable fins on each insertion section. These slats are designed inclined or bent, wherein the inclination or bending can be formed in the insertion direction to the rear.
  • plastic corner joints which are equipped with a straight wire.
  • This solution has the disadvantage that they have a higher ratio of insertion to pull-out forces and do not have the ability to specifically adapt the forces of the profile and also require a much smaller tolerance field of the spacers.
  • the insertion force changes with the wall thickness of the spacer profile used. The risk of breakage is increased by the damage of the side walls of the profile by strong restoring force of the inserted wire.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a connector, the o.g. Overcomes disadvantages.
  • the securing unit comprises a plurality of elongate metal elements, each with two opposite Lijnsendabrisken provided within the Einsteckabrough and extending through the body, such that the two longitudinal end portions of a metal element on opposite sides of the body protrude to cooperate with the spacer hollow profile, and extend the two longitudinal end portions of the at least one metal element obliquely to the insertion and in the insertion direction.
  • the shape in particular also allows the insertion and extraction forces easily and specifically adapted to the respective spacer hollow profile.
  • the holding force of the connectors in the profiles can be easily adjusted by appropriate choice of the number of metal elements used.
  • the pre-bent metal elements deform the profile less, because they work like a spring when plugged. Characterized in that the metal elements are formed longer (as, for example, a straight metal element), a skipping of the metal element is prevented by 180 °. Also, there is no longer the risk that the metal element pierces a profile wall. Consequently, the solution according to the invention offers a possibility to optimally adjust the insertion force, for example by the appropriate choice of the number of metal elements, without the risk of damage to the profile due to excessive restoring forces of the metal elements.
  • the plurality of metal elements per plug-in section are provided, and the individual metal elements within a Einsteckabitess are spaced apart in the insertion direction.
  • This measure has the advantage that the insertion and extraction forces are even better adapted to the respective spacer hollow profile, in particular by varying the number of metal elements used.
  • the at least one metal element is designed as a wire, in particular with a colored cross section.
  • the longitudinal end portions of a metal element extend at an angle of at least 30 ° relative to the insertion direction. This angular range has the advantage that the insertion forces are low, but the extraction forces are at a sufficiently high level, so that a high level of security against loosening of the spacer is ensured by the connector.
  • At least one groove is provided in the insertion section of the base body into which a metal element can be inserted.
  • This measure has the advantage that preconfigured metal elements, which have already been brought into their bent or kinked form, can be inserted.
  • the production of such a connector is very easy.
  • the metal element as a straight element into the base body and to bend the metal element into the desired shape in a subsequent step.
  • the base body is preferably provided with corresponding recesses on the edge regions and a connection of the two recesses, so that the metal element can be inserted through the connection and can then be bent within the recesses.
  • the connector is preferably designed as a corner connector, angle connector, linear or straight connector or cross connector. More preferably, the base body is made of plastic.
  • the object underlying the invention is also achieved by a method for producing a connector according to the invention, wherein - as mentioned above - the at least one metal element is either preformed introduced into the body or initially introduced into the body and then bent into the desired shape.
  • a connector is shown in perspective view and generally designated by the reference numeral 10.
  • the connector 10 is designed as a corner connector 11, which serves to connect two spacer hollow profiles at an angle of 90 ° with each other.
  • the connector 10 comprises a base body 12, which has a first insertion portion 14a and a second insertion portion 14b, wherein the two insertion portions 14a, 14b are connected to one another via a connecting element 16.
  • the connecting element 16 is designed in the present embodiment as a corner element 17, which connects the two insertion portions 14 a, b at right angles to each other.
  • a plug-in section 14 is rectangular in cross-section and extends from the connecting element 16 over a length L in a direction which runs counter to the insertion direction E.
  • the two outer ends of the male portions are beveled to facilitate insertion of a spacer.
  • Fig. 1 It can be seen that the connecting element 16 is formed larger in cross-section, so that stop surfaces 20 form, on which strike the spacers when reaching the end position.
  • the stop surfaces 20 - seen in the circumferential direction - provided only in sections, so that the end of a spacer is not completely applied to the connecting element, but leaving a gap that can be filled with butyl for caulking.
  • a closer embodiment of this corner element is in the already mentioned document 10 2006 017 821 A1 shown.
  • Each of the insertion sections 14a, 14b has at least one recess 30, which extends from one longitudinal side 32 to the opposite longitudinal side 34 of an insertion section 14 of the base body 12. In Fig. 2 this recess 30 is clearly visible. This recess 30 thus establishes a connection from one longitudinal side 32 to the other longitudinal side 34.
  • the recess 30 is in the in Fig. 2 shown sectional view symmetrical to the longitudinal axis A and has seen in the insertion direction rear straight wall 36 which extends at right angles to the longitudinal axis A.
  • the recess 30 is bounded in the insertion direction E forward of a wall 38 which extends obliquely to the longitudinal axis A.
  • the wall 38 extends inwardly toward the opposite wall 36.
  • the length of the recess 30 decreases towards the center, as clearly in Fig. 2 can be seen.
  • a preferably one-piece metal element 40 is provided in such a recess 30, a preferably one-piece metal element 40 is provided.
  • This metal element 40 passes completely through the recess 30 and projects slightly on both longitudinal sides with the respective longitudinal end section 42.
  • the metal element 40 is provided in the embodiment shown as a wire with a circular cross-section. However, it should be noted at this point that other cross sections are also conceivable.
  • the metal element 40 has a curved shape that resembles a "V".
  • the central portion of a metal element is located approximately at right angles to the longitudinal axis A, wherein the adjoining thereto outwardly sections in the insertion direction E, so that the outer portion of the metal member has an angle of preferably 30 ° or more. In Fig. 2 this angle is denoted by ⁇ .
  • the longitudinal end portions 42 of a metal element thus extend obliquely in the insertion direction towards the connecting element 16.
  • the shape of the metal element 40 and / or the front wall 38 are selected so that a gap 44 remains between the wall 38 and the metal element 40. This is to ensure that the longitudinal end portion 42 of the metal element 40 is bendable in the insertion direction E, at least until it abuts against the wall 38.
  • This flexibility enables the longitudinal end portions 42 of a metal element in the insertion direction E to be pressed when a spacer is inserted, so that the extent of the metal element is reduced at right angles to the longitudinal axis.
  • a plurality of identically shaped recesses 30 are provided in each insertion section, each receiving a metal element 40.
  • the metal elements are preferably provided evenly spaced in the longitudinal direction A. On the number of metal elements provided, the desired insertion and extraction forces can be adjusted and adapted to the spacer hollow profile. In the exemplary embodiment shown, three metal elements per insertion section are provided, but this number is to be considered purely as an example.
  • the metal elements 40 can also have other cross sections in addition to a round cross section.
  • a connector 10 is shown, the base body 12 of the main body of the Fig. 1 equivalent.
  • a flat band 48 is used.
  • the shape of this flat belt 48 corresponds to the shape of in Fig. 2
  • the properties of the flat belt 48 are very similar, however, the insertion and extraction forces are different from a wire 41st
  • a connector 10 is shown, which is connected to a spacer 50.
  • the insertion portion 14 with the recesses 30 and the metal elements 40 therein is shown in dashed lines.
  • Fig. 5 the connector 10 is shown without metal elements in a side view.
  • the recesses 30 are easy to see.
  • Each recess 30 has chamfered edge surfaces 60 in the respective opening region, which are intended to facilitate insertion of a metal element.
  • a connector 10 configured as a linear or straight connector 62 is shown.
  • two spacers can be connected centric or straight to each other.
  • the two plug-in sections 14a, b are consequently in line and are connected to one another via the connecting element 16.
  • the recesses provided in a plug-in section 14a, b and the metal elements provided therein are the same as those with reference to FIG Fig. 1 to 5 explained so that it need not be discussed further.
  • Exemplary are in Fig. 6 the metal elements 40, 41 formed differently in the insertion portion 14b as the metal elements 40, 48 in the insertion portion 14a. On the one hand wires 41 are used, while on the other side flat bands 48 are provided.
  • the metal elements 40 are preferably inserted in the embodiments described above as straight elements in the recesses 30 and only then bent by machine into the desired shape.
  • grooves 70 are provided in the insertion portion 14 in a further embodiment of a connector, which connect the lying within the Einsteckabêts 14 recesses 30 to the outside.
  • the grooves 70 have approximately the shape of the metal elements 40.
  • the metal elements 40 can thus be brought from the outside through the grooves 70 in the underlying recess 30. If the shape of the groove 70 differs somewhat from the shape of a metal element 40, the metal elements 40 can easily be prevented from falling out again after being inserted into the recess 30.
  • the connector 10 can be produced as a plastic part, and the metal elements are very easy to insert, the overall result is a very cost-effective connector that provides low insertion forces and high pull-out forces.
  • the insertion into a spacer hollow profile with little force is possible, the inserted position is maintained with very high security.
  • a release of the connector from the spacer hollow profile is almost impossible, especially in normal use.
