Definitions

  • a system for interconnecting plates, panels or the like to one another includes a plurality of interconnecting elements which are inserted into slots formed in the plates or panels and a main coupling with which the interconnecting elements are mated to join the plates or panels.
  • the interconnecting elements have flanges thereon, which engage opposite sides of the plates adjacent to the edges of the slots.
  • the flanges are joined by web portions which extend therebetween.
  • the main couplings have portions extending either therefrom or therein which slide into openings in the interconnecting elements which extend between the web portions.
  • the projecting portions either dove-tail into the interconnecting elements, or engage with slots with ribs extending between the web portions of the interconnecting elements.
  • This invention relates to a system for interconnecting a plurality of plates, panels or the like. More particularly. this invention relates to a system for interconnecting plates, panels or the like, wherein separate couplings are used to effect the interconnection.
  • the system according to the invention uses two or more interconnected clamping pieces of which the crosssection has the shape of an I or a double dove-tail or a shape derived therefrom which is adapted to be clamped in a notch or plate to be connected.
  • the clamping pieces are preferably made from elastomeric material. However, they may be manufactured from stiff material, in which case the clamping force is effected by the elasticity of the connected plates.
  • a clamping piece has an I-shaped crosssection
  • the web of the I may be pushed into a notch of a plate and both flanges will engage respectively opposite surfaces of the plate. Clamping can then be effected by the fact that the notch is slightly narrower than the web of the I and/or by the fact that the distance of the facing surfaces of the flanges is somewhat smaller than the thickness of the plate.
  • the invention has the advantage that the plates to be connected need only be provided with simple notches and that the interconnection of various plates can be realized without tools by simply pushing the clamping pieces into the notches of the various plates. It has appeared that the connection can be very solid by proper selection ofthe elasticity of the material and of the mutual proportion of the dimensions of the clamping pieces and notches.
  • a compact connecting element for interconnecting four plates contains four clamping pieces which are mutually arranged in the form of a cross.
  • each of the clamping pieces comprises preferably two slots which are separated by a partition wall.

  • a slot can be applied in the web of each I or in the mentioned partition wall, which slot is intended for clamping receiving an adaptor with an I-shaped profile, which itself is adapted to clamp into a notch in a plate.
  • This combination of connecting elements and adaptors is suitable to be applied for various plate thicknesses and eventually also to various notch widths.
  • a similar adaption to different plate thicknesses or notch widths can also be obtained if the facing surfaces of the two flanges of each I-shaped clamping piece or adaptor are stepped.
  • the element may be divided into two halves according to a central longitudinal plane, one of the halves being provided with at least one protruding pin on the web of each clamping piece, which pin fits in a hole of the other half.
  • clamping pieces define a central aperture in which can be received and clamped a separate filling piece, there is a possiblity to interconnect a number of boards and then to close the channel defined by the edges of the boards by means of the filling pieces. These filling pieces will also increase the strength of the connecting element and consequently also of the connection.
  • elastic parts are protruding on both sides of at least one of said slots which parts form the flanges of a clamping member with an I-shaped crosssection which can be clamped into a notch of a thicker board.
  • the stiff elastic disc for the connection of relative thick boards
  • the elastic protruding parts are composed of two detachably interconnected halves and are applied in openings between the said slots of the connecting el' ement.

  • connection element it is within the scope of the invention to interconnect the clamping pieces of a connection element in a detachable manner.
  • the advantage thereof may be that the separate clamping pieces can be manufactured in a simpler and less expensive way; it might also be desirable to clamp each of the clamping pieces into a notch of a board before they are interconnected.
  • the mutual detachable connection of the clamping pieces gives the possibility to choose the number of clamping pieces per connection element.

  • FIG. 5 shows a connection element with four clamping pieces which are arranged crosswise with respect to each other and which have a double dove-tailshaped crosssection. In this case no separate flanges are present, so that the clamping effects only can be realized in that the board to be connected is provided with a slot of similar shape which, however, has smaller dimensions.
  • the connection can be compared with a double dove tail connection.
  • FIG. 6 shows a connection element which can be considered as to be a combination of FIG. 3 (each web has slots 9, 10 for engaging a glass sheet) and FIG. 5 (the shape of the web is a double dove-tail).

  • the main coupling 36 is cruciform in shape with four arms, designated generally by the numerals 4343, which extend outwardly from a main core 44.
  • Each arm 43 mates with one of the interconnecting elements 42 (only one of which is shown) to interconnect four of the panels 2 so as to radiate from the core 44 of the main coupling 36. Since the main coupling 36 is cruciform in configuration, two panels 2 will extend in a vertical plane of FIG. 17 as drawn.
  • Each panel 2 has a slot 46 formed therein, which slidably receives one of the interconnecting elements 42. f
  • each interconnecting element 42 has a top flange 47 and a bottom flange 48, which engage opposite sides 49 and 51 of the panel 2, respec tively.
  • flanges 47 and 48 are U-shaped so as to extend around the periphery of the opening forming the slot 46.
  • the flanges 47 and 48 are joined by a web 52 which, in the illustrated embodiment, is also generally U- shaped to conform to the U-shaped configuration of the flanges.
  • the web 52 has a bend formed along line 53 occurring therein, so as to form a dove-tail type opening 54 within the interconnecting element 42 to receive one of the arms 43 from the main coupling 36.
  • Each arm 43 of the main coupling 36 is formed into an upper fork 57 and a lower fork 58 separated by a slot 59.
  • Each of the forks 57 and 58 have converging sides 61 and 62, respectively, which converge toward the slot 59.
  • the upper arm 61 fits between the bend 53 and the top flange 47, while the lower fork 58 is received between bend 53 and the bottom flange 46.
  • the lower portion 520 of the web 52 and the upper portion 52b of the web 52 converge toward the bend 53 at the same angle that the sides 61 and 62 of the arm 43 converge toward the slot 59.
  • the element 46 is made of an elastomeric material and the webs 52 can be relatively flexible, at least along the bend 53, the angles assumed initially by the upper and lower portions 52b and 52a of the web 52 may be different from the angles of the walls 61 and 62, so that when the arm 43 is dove-tailed with the slot 59, the web 52 will deform slightly to conform with the shape of the arm 43. This will result in a tight fit between the sides or surfaces 61 and 62 and the interior surface or surfaces of the web 52. This will also force the exterior surfaces of the web 52 against the sides of the slot 46 in which the element 42 is seated.
  • each arm 43 of the main coupling is relieved at the top and bottom surfaces of the forks 57 and 58, respectively, to form a land 66 and a shoulder 67 thereon. Since only the land 66 and shoulder 67 of the top fork 57 is shown, only the relationship between the top fork and the top flange 47 will be explained, but it should be understood that the lower fork 58 has a land 66 and a shoulder 67 thereon, which are similar in structure and function to the land and shoulder on the upper fork.
  • the land 66 engages the lower side 68 of the flange 47, while the shoulder 67 engages the inner surface 69 of the flange. This causes the outer lower surface 71 of the flange 47 to engage the top surface 49 of the panel 2 more tightly. Since both the top and bottom forks 57 and 48 have lands 66 and shoul ders 67 engaged similarly with the top and bottom flanges 47 and 48, respectively, the various aforementioned elements of the arm 43 and interconnecting elements 42 will seat in tight engagement.

  • the elements 46 connecting panels 2 extending in a plane perpendicular to this plane will have end portions that will abutt with only the outer surfaces of the top and bottom flanges 47 and 48.
  • FIG. 18 there is shown a main coupling, designated by the numeral 81, which is similar in configuration to the coupling or plate-shaped body disclosed in applicants prior U.S. application, Pat. No. 3,687,500, issued Aug. 29, 1972.
  • the coupling 81 has four slots 82 which extend therein and are spaced 90 apart so that, in terms of the orientation shown in FIG. 18, four panels 2 may be connected together to extend in horizontal and vertical directions. For purposes of clarity, only one panel 2 is shown in FIG. 18.
  • the panel 2 has a thickness 83 which is greater than the width 84 of the slots 82 and, therefore, an arrangement needs to be made so that the panels 2 can be connected to the coupling 81. This is accomplished by making a slot 86 in each panel 2 to receive an interconnecting element, generally designated by the numeral 87.
  • the interconnecting elements 87 have a rib portion 88 which extends between and connects a pair of web portions 89-89 between which it extends.
  • the thickness of the rib 88 approximates the width 84 of the slots 82, so that the ribs may be received in the slots.
  • the width of the slots 88 approximates the width 91 of the coupling 81, so that as the rib 88 is received in the slots 82, the coupling 81 will be received between the webs 89.
  • the length of each interconnector 87 is such that the rib 88 will fill the entire slot 82. In this way, a snug relationship is achieved between the interconnectors 87 and the coupling 81.
