Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a connector for two workpieces, with two fittings, which are fastened with their one side to each one of the workpieces and with their other sides abuttable to each other, and two clamping jaws which grip the fittings at diametral ends and by means of at least a threaded rod against each other are tensioned, which runs approximately parallel to said other sides.
  • Such wood connectors are marketed, for example, by the company Knapp GmbH, Euratsfeld, Austria, under the brand name Megant® and are particularly suitable for the construction of heavy-duty joints in timber engineering, for example for connecting main, secondary and / or cross members, cross trains, trusses, supports or the like.
  • the fittings and jaws are usually made of metal, such as high-strength aluminum, and the workpieces to be joined from wood, such as glued laminated timber (BSH), laminated beams, etc.
  • BSH glued laminated timber
  • One of the workpieces may also be a concrete beam, a wall or a floor, what a carrier to be connected by means of the connector.
  • a connector of the aforementioned type which according to the invention is characterized in that said one side of at least one fitting, preferably both fittings, is provided with a finger jointing profile.
  • the fitting In accordance with complementary complementary finger jointing of the workpiece to which the fitting is attached, so that a high-strength finger joint between fitting and workpiece can be created, which achieves an intimate, positive and non-positive connection of the connector to the workpiece.
  • the fitting can optionally be glued to the workpiece, to achieve an additional bond between the two parts.
  • the connector according to the invention is also particularly suitable for workpieces made of fast-growing woods, which have a lower bulk density and thus lower strength and thus provide less support for screwing the fitting.
  • the connector according to the invention can be here on an increase in the number of screws, which would otherwise be required to compensate for the lower density, be dispensed with.
  • the number of screws required to fasten the fittings can be reduced, thus saving weight and costs. Even costly oblique screwing can be reduced or replaced by simple to produce straight fittings.
  • the finger joints of the finger joint profile run approximately normal to the threaded rod, so that they can absorb or support tensile and compressive forces in the direction of the threaded rod (s) well.
  • flank angles of the finger joints of the finger joint profile are preferably self-locking in order to ensure a good absorption of force.
  • a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the finger jointing profile is formed in an adapter plate, which is inserted into said one side of a fitting or mounted thereon.
  • the connector of the invention can thereby be modularly constructed, stored and used. Different adapter plates with different finger joint profiles can be with one and the same Fuse body can be combined to allow adaptation to different workpiece materials, such as wood qualities. Thus, adapter plates with different finger joint profiles in terms of tine length, zinc pitch, tine play, flank angle, etc., depending on the workpiece and application can be used.
  • the adapter plate can be plugged together with the rest of fitting, latched, locked, glued and / or screwed.
  • the tips of the finger joints can protrude in a plane from the fitting, which allows a simple, straight milling of the finger joint in the workpiece to be connected.
  • the tips of the finger joints can protrude like a cylinder segment from the fitting, whereby, for example, side milling cutters can be used to produce the complementary finger joint in the workpiece to be connected.
  • the fittings are additionally provided with holes for screwing to the workpieces.
  • Fig. 1 shows a connector 1 for two workpieces 2, 3.
  • the workpieces 2, 3 are, for example, columns, pillars, main, side or cross member of a building, eg roof, or the like.
  • the connector 1 is mainly for workpieces 2, 3 from Wood, for example wood beams made of solid wood, glued laminated timber (BSH), glued laminated wood ("glue binder”), etc.
  • BSH glued laminated timber
  • glue binder glued laminated wood
  • One (or both) of the workpieces 2, 3 may also be made of a different material, such as concrete, masonry, etc., and Connector 1 can also be used, for example, to connect a wooden support 2 to a building part 3.
  • the connector 1 is preferably made of metal, e.g. Steel and / or high-strength aluminum, but could be made of other materials such as wood or plastic at low load requirements.
  • the connector 1 comprises two fittings 4, 5 which can be fastened with their one side 6, 7 to the respective workpiece 2, 3, as explained in more detail later. With their other sides 8, 9, the fittings 4, 5 can be brought into contact with each other.
  • the plant pages 8, 9 can as shown plan or complementarily shaped to ensure a good mutual investment.
  • Each clamping jaws 10, 11 has a keyway 12 for receiving the abutting, complementary wedge-shaped ends 14, 15 and 16, 17 of the fittings 4, 5.
  • a threaded rod 18 which is received in mutually facing half-chamfers 19, 20 in the sides 8, 9 of the fittings 4, 5 and so passes through the abutting fittings 4, 5 approximately centrally.
  • nuts 21, 22, which are mounted on the threaded rod 18 from the outside and press against the outside of the clamping jaws 10, 11, they can be clamped against each other.
  • the clamping jaws 10, 11 could be provided with opposing internal threads 23, so that one or both nuts 21, 22 can be saved.
  • the fittings 4, 5 - and optionally also the clamping jaws 10, 11 - are provided with holes 24 through which screws 25 can be passed and screwed into the workpieces 2, 3.
  • each finger joint profile 26, 27 preferably run approximately normal to the / the threaded rod (s) 28, so that in the in the Fig. 1 and 2 shown exemplary installation position with vertical threaded rod 18, the finger joints 30 are approximately horizontal (see Fig. 2 ). This allows them to record vertical tension and pressure, ie vertical shear forces between the workpieces 2, 3, particularly well.
  • the flank angles of the finger joints 30 of the finger splines 26, 27 are preferably also chosen to be flat so that they are self-locking.
  • the sides 6, 7 or finger joint profiles 26, 27 can also be glued to the workpieces 2, 3 or their finger joint milling cuts 28, 29.
  • FIGS. 5 and 6 show two different configurations of the finger joint profiles 26, 27.
  • Fig. 6 are cylindrical segments of the fitting 4, 5 projecting finger joints 30 of the finger joint profiles 26, 27 shown.
  • This embodiment is suitable for finger joint milling 28, 29, which are incorporated by means of circular disk milling in the workpieces 2, 3.
  • each fitting 4, 5 can be designed not only in one piece, but also in several parts.
  • the finger jointing profile 26, 27 may be formed in a separate adapter plate 31, which in the workpiece 2, 3 facing side 8, 9 of the respective fitting 4, 5 is used or mounted on this.
  • the adapter plate 31 can be screwed, glued or otherwise connected to the remaining fitting ("fitting base body") 32, if desired also detachable or modular exchangeable. It also mutually complementary paragraphs, stages or the like. 33 or tongue and groove or dovetail joints 34 are provided for insertion, latching, latching, etc. between the adapter plate 31 and the base body 32.
  • the adapter plate 31 can be connected by means of separate screws with the base body 32 or by means of the same screws 25, which fix the fitting 4, 5 on the workpiece 2, 3.
  • the optional paragraphs 33 and 34 compounds for additional power transmission between adapter plate 31 and body 32 are used.
  • fittings 4, 5 can be equipped with a finger joint profile 26, 27, e.g. if the other fitting 4, 5 for mounting on a concrete or steel beams, masonry od. Like. Without complementary finger joint milling is determined.
