Definitions

  • connection element for connecting constructional components or the like mechanically, having the features of the preamble of claim 1 .
  • connection elements of such a kind are known, for example, from DE 100 26 769 A1.
  • one coupling half is attached by means of screws to each of two constructional components or the like to be connected.
  • the coupling halves are brought into engagement.
  • they have a centring device provided with wedge-shaped or conical engaging elements.
  • line connection elements for water, gas, electricity or the like so that, in the process of mechanical connection, a connection of the utility is produced at the same time.
  • the connection elements In the case of extremely heavy constructional components such as, for example, walls in prefabricated building construction, the connection elements have to take very heavy loads.
  • the invention is based on the problem of providing a highly stable connection element which allows rapid installation of the constructional components to be connected, especially in combination with the connection elements known from DE 100 26 769 A1.
  • the coupling halves comprise tubular parts, which by virtue of having different cross-sections, can be inserted one into the other.
  • Those parts can be, for example, standard tetragonal tubes made from steel.
  • the term “tubular parts” applies equally to all parts whose cross-sections are suitable for longitudinal guidance, that is to say, for example, includes the combination of a flat steel member or a member having an I, C or T profile with a tubular part, in which case the latter can of course also have a longitudinal slot corresponding to a profiled rail or can be reduced to one or more eyelets.
  • tongue-and-groove cross-sections which by virtue of an undercut are suitable for longitudinal guidance. Roller systems or lubricating systems can assist that guidance property.
  • the tubular parts are arranged at an angle to the contact faces of the constructional components.
  • a combined movement of the constructional components perpendicular and parallel to their contact faces is performed as a result.
  • the introduction distance is not limited by the coupling halves but is terminated as soon as the contact faces of the constructional components come into contact with one another.
  • the coupling halves are so arranged on the constructional components that the coupling half is attached to the fixed constructional component so that the tubular part is pointing upwards at an angle whereas the other constructional component to be joined thereto has a tubular part which points downwards.
  • connection elements which provide a joining direction perpendicular or parallel to the contact faces
  • the advantage is obtained that there is no need for the constructional components to be additionally clamped together after joining.
  • the connection elements according to the invention are used in combination with the connection elements known from DE 100 26 769 A1
  • the connection elements according to the invention take up the weight and joining forces during and after joining whilst the load on the connection elements of DE 100 26 769 A1 is reduced so that these can be of less robust construction.
  • the connection elements of DE 100 26 769 Al are also moved one towards the other in such a way that their centring devices undergo an at most slight compensatory movement, combined with low forces.
  • the tubular part of smaller cross-section comprises an insertion cap.
  • the coupling halves can be readily joined together even when the possibilities for positioning are very approximate. This is important, for example, when connecting walls in prefabricated building construction as in that case it is necessary, under certain circumstances, for very large wall elements suspended from a crane to be joined together.
  • the coupling halves in a preferred embodiment comprise wedge-shaped plinths, for example made from plastics material, which support the tubular parts.
  • the coupling halves are fastened to the constructional components by means of screws.
  • the screws In order to achieve a direct flow of force from the tubular parts into the constructional component in question by way of the screws, the screws abut, at their heads, that inside face of the tubular parts which faces the constructional component and extend through the plinth and into the constructional component.
  • one embodiment of the invention comprises an adjusting element between the tubular parts, having displacing means in a direction transverse to the longitudinal direction of the tubular parts.
  • the adjusting element comprises a sheet-metal strip bent into a cap shape, which in addition to the adjusting function also has a joining function analogous to the above-mentioned insertion cap.
  • displacing means there are proposed two threaded bolts, which are mounted, for example, by means of a slide mounting, in the sheet-metal strip, their threads engaging in threaded holes in the inner tubular part.
  • the bolts can be turned by means of externally arranged tool application means, such as, for example, a hexagon socket. As a result of turning the bolt, the adjusting element is displaced relative to the tubular part.
  • a preferred embodiment of the invention comprises a mountable force-directing means, which is so arranged on the outer tubular part that the inner tubular part, which is in contact in the region of the force-directing means, transfers forces where the outer tubular part is best able to take them up, that is to say, for example, at its end facing the inner tubular part.
  • the force-directing means are simple sheet-metal parts bent into a U-shape.
  • FIG. 1 is a cross-section through the connection element of a first exemplary embodiment in the installed state
  • FIG. 2 is a cross-section through the tubular parts of a second exemplary embodiment of the connection element
  • FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a third exemplary embodiment of the invention.
  • connection element 1 shown in FIG. 1 is used for connecting the two constructional components 2 and 3 , for example two walls being connected in prefabricated building construction, and consists of the two coupling halves 4 and 5 , which are fastened to the respective constructional component 2 , 3 by means of screws 6 .
  • Each of the two coupling halves 4 , 5 has a tubular part 7 , 8 , supported by wedge-shaped plinths 9 , 10 made from a high-strength plastics material.
  • the tubular parts 7 , 8 are standard tetragonal tubes made from steel, which have different cross-sections and can be inserted one into the other.
  • the coupling halves 4 , 5 are first fastened to the constructional components 2 , 3 by means of screws 6 as part of pre-assembly.
  • the screws 6 are pushed through the holes 11 and, when they are screwed in, the heads 12 of the screws ultimately come into abutment against the inside faces 13 , 14 .
  • the coupling half 5 having the tubular part 8 of larger cross-section is placed over the coupling half 4 having the tubular part 7 of smaller cross-section, the insertion cap 15 serving to form slopes for joining.
  • FIG. 2 shows the tubular parts 7 a, 8 of a second exemplary embodiment in section.
  • the adjusting element 17 comprises a sheet-metal strip 18 bent into a cap shape and also two displacing means in the form of bolts 19 .
  • the bolts 19 have threads 20 and, at both ends, have hexagon sockets 21 as tool application means. They are, in each case, mounted in holes 22 in the sheet-metal strip and engage in threaded holes 23 in the inner tubular part 7 a.
  • the bolts 19 can be turned in parallel and, as a result, the sheet-metal strip 18 is displaced relative to the inner tubular part 7 a in a direction transverse to its longitudinal direction. Because the adjusting element 17 is in turn inserted in the outer tubular part 8 , the shown offset A of the central axes can, for example, be adjusted as desired.
  • FIG. 3 shows a further exemplary embodiment of the connection element 1 b according to the invention. It consists of the two coupling halves 4 b and 5 b. Each of the two coupling halves 4 b , 5 b has a tubular part 7 b, 8 b, the tubular part 7 b being in the form of a flat steel member having insertion slopes 24 . The tubular parts 7 b, 8 b are in turn supported by wedge-shaped plinths 9 b, 10 b made from plastics material.
  • force-directing means 26 mounted on those edges 25 of the outer tubular part 8 b which face the other coupling half 4 b, which cause the forces acting between the coupling halves to be transferred in their immediate vicinity and, as a result, relatively large leverage effects are especially avoided.
