Definitions
- Connector for mechanically fastening a first component to a second component and component connection
- the invention relates to a connector for mechanically fastening a first component to a second component.
- the connector is plate-shaped or flat bar-shaped and comprises a first engagement element for anchoring in a recess of the first component and a second engagement element for anchoring in a recess of the second component.
- the first engagement element and the second engagement element are firmly connected to a carrier element of the connector or movably coupled to the carrier element of the connector.
- the invention is also directed to a component connection.
- the component connection comprises a first component with at least one first recess, which is delimited by a first opening in a first contact surface of the first component.
- the component connection further comprises a second component with at least one second recess, which is delimited by a second opening in a second contact surface of the second component.
- the first contact surface of the first component and the second contact surface of the second component contact one another.
- the component connection also comprises a connector, which is arranged in sections within the first recess and in sections within the second recess.
- the object of the present invention is to simplify the correct arrangement of the connector in a recess of a first component and/or in a recess of a second component of a component connection to be realized by means of the connector.
- the problem is solved by a connector for mechanically fastening a first component to a second component.
- the connector is plate-shaped or flat bar-shaped and comprises a first engagement element for anchoring in a recess in the first component and a second engagement element for anchoring in a recess in the second component.
- the first engagement element and the second engagement element are firmly connected to a carrier element of the connector or movably coupled to the carrier element of the connector.
- the connector also has an orientation projection which is designed for correct orientation of the connector in a recess in the first component and/or in a recess in the second component.
- the first engagement element and the second engagement element can each be coupled to the carrier element and/or an actuating element via a gear, e.g. a cam gear or gear transmission.
- the orientation projection is understood to be a geometrically protruding section of the connector.
- the orientation projection is matched in terms of its size, shape and position to an associated orientation recess on the first component and/or the second component. This means that the connector can only be arranged in the recess of the first component and/or the recess of the second component in such a way that the orientation projection is simultaneously arranged in the associated orientation recess on the first component and/or the second component.
- the orientation projection means that the connector can only be inserted into the recess of the first component and/or the recess of the second component in an orientation intended for it, i.e. in a correct orientation. Incorrect insertion is thus avoided. so that the orientation projection can also be referred to as a Poka-Yoke element. It is therefore easy for a user to insert the connector in the correct orientation into the recess of the first component and/or the recess of the second component.
- a connector equipped with an orientation projection is particularly advantageous when the connector itself or the component connection in which it is used is not completely symmetrical, so that when inserting the connector into the recess of the first component and/or into the recess of the second component, the orientation of the connector is important.
- the recesses can have different geometries.
- the orientation projection can represent or cause an asymmetry in the connector.
- the recesses can be asymmetrical.
- the orientation projection is preferably arranged on a flat side of the connector.
- the connector is plate-shaped or flat bar-shaped.
- the flat sides of the connector are formed by the two opposite side surfaces of the connector with the largest surface area. It goes without saying that the surface area of these side surfaces is the largest compared to all other side surfaces. Due to the size of the flat sides, arranging the orientation projection on one of the flat sides has little or no influence on the other mechanical properties, in particular the force transmission properties when applied to an associated component. Furthermore, an orientation projection provided on one of the flat sides is comparatively easy to produce and is clearly visible to a user.
- the connector can comprise an actuating element with an actuating interface, wherein the actuating element is firmly connected to the carrier element or is movably mounted on the carrier element.
- the actuating element serves to bring the connector, in particular the first engagement element and/or the second engagement element of the connector, into engagement with one or more provided counter elements of the recess on the first component and/or the recess on the second component.
- the connector can be moved as a whole.
- the actuating element can be firmly connected to the carrier element.
- one or more components of the connector are moved by means of the actuating element. This is particularly the case when the first engagement element and/or the second engagement element are movably coupled to the carrier element of the connector.
- the actuating element can be movably mounted on the carrier element.
- the first engagement element and/or the second engagement element can be moved relative to the carrier element.
- the actuating interface is designed, for example, as a tool interface so that the connector can be actuated using a tool.
- the actuating interface must be accessible to a user in order to be able to actuate the connector correctly. This is ensured by means of the orientation projection.
- the actuating element can form the orientation projection.
- the actuating element therefore serves two functions, namely to actuate the connector as described above and as an orientation projection. This allows the connector to be constructed relatively compactly. Furthermore, the use of the connector is simplified in that a user only has to pay attention to the actuating element that forms the orientation projection, and not to an actuating element and an orientation projection that are provided separately from one another.
- a bearing element for the movable mounting of the actuating element is arranged on the carrier element.
- the bearing element forms the orientation projection.
- the bearing element is only necessary in connection with a movably mounted actuating element.
- the bearing element therefore serves two functions, namely the mounting of the actuating element and as an orientation projection.
- the connector can be built comparatively compactly.
- the use of the connector is simplified, since a user only has to press on the Bearing element must be taken into account and not a bearing element and an orientation projection, which are provided separately from each other.
- the bearing element is a rotary bearing element.
- the actuating element is thus rotatably mounted on the carrier element by means of the bearing element.
- Rotatable actuating elements can be easily operated by a user. Furthermore, such actuating elements only require a comparatively small amount of space, which leads to a compact design of the connector.
- the orientation projection can also be separate from the actuating element. This has the advantage that the connector is structurally comparatively simple. In addition, the separate provision of the orientation projection and actuating element enables the orientation projection and the actuating element to be positioned and designed independently of one another. In other words, increased design freedom and thus increased adaptability of the connector to specific applications is achieved.
- the orientation projection can also be separate from the bearing element. This also has the advantage that the connector is structurally relatively simple.
- the separate provision of the orientation projection and the bearing element means that the orientation projection and the bearing element can be positioned and designed independently of one another. In other words, increased design freedom and thus increased adaptability of the connector to specific applications is achieved.
- the orientation projection is cylindrical.
- the orientation projection can be circular-cylindrical.
- the cylindrical orientation projection can be solid or hollow.
- Such orientation projections can be manufactured relatively easily using common manufacturing processes.
- Circular-cylindrical orientation projections also have the advantage that they have neither corners nor edges on a lateral surface. This makes it easier to insert the Orientation projection into an associated orientation recess.
- Hollow orientation projections are suitable if the orientation projection is to be combined or designed integrally with other elements of the connector.
- a hollow orientation projection that is also circular-cylindrical can serve as a bearing element.
- Solid orientation projections offer comparatively high mechanical stability. Solid orientation projections are therefore suitable, for example, if the orientation projection is also an actuating element.
- a central axis of the orientation projection is perpendicular to the carrier element.
- the central axis of the orientation projection is perpendicular to a flat side of the carrier element.
- the orientation projection is therefore essentially oriented perpendicularly to the carrier element.
- the orientation projection protrudes perpendicularly from the carrier element.
- the orientation projection can be materially connected to the carrier element, but does not have to be. This is structurally and technically simple. Furthermore, such an orientation projection is easily recognizable as such.
- the orientation projection is spaced from all edges of the plate-shaped or flat bar-shaped connector. A distance of the orientation projection from all edges of the plate-shaped or flat bar-shaped connector is therefore greater than zero. This also ensures that the orientation projection has a certain distance from the first engagement element and the second engagement element. A potentially disruptive interaction between the orientation projection and the first engagement element and/or the second engagement element can thus be avoided.
- an orientation projection that is spaced from all edges of the plate-shaped or flat bar-shaped connector causes little disruption when handled by a user of the connector.
- the orientation projection is provided on a single side of the connector. In this way, an asymmetry formed by the orientation projection can be easily realized on the connector. It is therefore particularly easy for a user to insert the connector in the correct orientation into the recess of the first component and/or the recess of the second component.
- the orientation projection can be arranged centrally or eccentrically with respect to an insertion direction of the connector.
- the orientation projection is spaced apart from the ends of the connector oriented along the insertion direction. This means that a distance of the orientation projection from the ends oriented along the insertion direction is greater than zero.
- the insertion direction of the connector is to be understood as the direction along which the connector is inserted into the recess on the first component and/or into the recess on the second component in order to connect the first component and the second component to one another.
- the orientation projection can be provided to engage both in an orientation recess of the first component and in an orientation recess of the second component when the first component and the second component are fastened to one another.
- the orientation projection is arranged centrally with respect to the insertion direction in this context, the connector is symmetrical with respect to the insertion direction. It therefore does not matter which end of the connector provided along the insertion direction is inserted into the recess of the first component and which end of the connector provided along the insertion direction is inserted into the recess on the second component.
- each of the ends of the connector provided along the insertion direction is firmly assigned to one of the first and second components. In this context, it is easy for a user to recognize if the connector is incorrectly is inserted into the recess on the first component and/or into the recess on the second component.
- the orientation projection can be intended to be inserted only into an orientation recess on the first component or on the second component. If in this context the orientation projection is arranged off-center along the insertion direction, the connector can be used together with recesses on the first component and second component that have the same depth. The production of the recesses is therefore comparatively simple. Of course, it is also possible to arrange the orientation projection off-center along the insertion direction and to provide the recesses on the first component and second component with different depths. In this context, it is easy for a user to recognize when the connector is not correctly inserted.
- the orientation projection can be arranged centrally or eccentrically with respect to a transverse insertion direction of the connector.
- the orientation projection is spaced from the ends of the connector oriented along the transverse insertion direction. This means that a distance of the orientation projection from the ends oriented along the transverse insertion direction is greater than zero.
- the transverse insertion direction of the connector is understood to mean a direction that runs transversely to an insertion direction along which the connector is inserted into the recess on the first component and/or on the second component in order to connect the first component and the second component to one another.
- a centrally arranged orientation projection creates a certain symmetry that simplifies the handling of the connector in that it can be used in different orientations.
- the eccentric arrangement on the other hand, can serve to define only a single orientation in which the connector can be used to connect the first component and the second component.
- the orientation projection is arranged centrally with respect to the insertion direction of the connector and off-center with respect to the transverse insertion direction.
- the orientation projection is arranged centrally with respect to both the insertion direction of the connector and the transverse insertion direction.
- the orientation projection is arranged off-center with respect to the insertion direction of the connector and centrally with respect to the transverse insertion direction.
- the orientation projection is arranged off-center with respect to both the insertion direction of the connector and the transverse insertion direction.
- the orientation projection is separate from the first engagement element and the second engagement element.
- the orientation projection thus does not influence the engagement of the connector in the first component and/or in the second component.
- the first engagement element, the second engagement element and the carrier element form a coherent unit.
- the connector is inserted as a coherent unit both into the recess on the first component and into the recess on the second component.
- handling such a connector is simple. In particular, the risk of losing individual components of the connector is extremely low.
- the object is also achieved by a component connection.
- the component connection comprises a first component with at least one first recess, which is delimited by a first opening in a first contact surface of the first component.
- the component connection also comprises a second component with at least one second recess, which is delimited by a second opening in a second contact surface of the second component.
- the first contact surface of the first component and the second contact surface of the second component contact each other.
- a Orientation recess the component connection comprises a connector according to the invention.
- the connector is arranged in sections within the first recess and in sections within the second recess.
- the terms "first" and "second” serve to designate features that are assigned to the first component and the second component, respectively. A number is not implied by this.
- the orientation projection is arranged in the orientation recess.
- the orientation recess can be provided completely in the first component, completely in the second component, or partly in the first component and partly in the second component.
- the orientation projection and the orientation recess are coordinated with one another in terms of their size, shape and position.
- the connector can only be arranged in the recess of the first component and/or in the recess of the second component in such a way that the orientation projection is simultaneously arranged in the associated orientation recess on the first component and/or on the second component.
- the connector cannot be arranged in the recess of the first component and/or the recess of the second component at all or only to an unusable extent.
- the orientation projection means that the connector can only be inserted in a designated orientation, i.e. in a correct orientation in the recess of the first component and/or the recess of the second component. Incorrect insertion is thus avoided, so that the orientation projection and the orientation recess provide a poka-yoke function. It is therefore easy for a user to insert the connector in the correct orientation in the recess of the first component and/or the recess of the second component. This makes it possible to reliably create a mechanically stable component connection.
- the first component is made of a wood-based material, so that the first component is a wooden component.
- the second component is made of a wood-based material, so that the second component is a wooden component.
- the orientation recess can be channel-shaped and extend to an outer component surface of the first component and/or to an outer component surface of the second component. Overall, such an orientation recess extends from the outer component surface of the first component and/or the outer component surface of the second component to the recess of the first component and/or the second component. Such an orientation recess can be produced relatively easily, for example starting from the outer component surface of the first component or the outer component surface of the second component.
- the orientation recess is open in the direction of the associated first contact surface or the associated second contact surface.
- Such an orientation recess can also be produced easily, in particular together with the recess of the first component and/or the second component.
- orientation recess can extend both to an outer surface of the first component and/or to an outer surface of the second component, and can simultaneously be open in the direction of the associated first contact surface or second contact surface. This results in the orientation recess being particularly easy to manufacture.
- the connector can comprise an actuation interface and the actuation interface can be positioned in the orientation recess or adjacent to the orientation recess.
- the actuation interface can be reached via the orientation recess.
- the orientation recess therefore serves two functions. On the one hand, it serves to accommodate the orientation projection and thus the correct orientation of the connector. On the other hand, it functions as an access channel for the actuation interface.
- the access channel can, for example, be designed to allow a tool to reach the actuation interface.
- the component connection can thus be designed to be comparatively compact.

- Figure 1 shows a connector 10 according to a first embodiment.
- the connector 10 serves for the mechanical fastening of a first component to a second component, as will be explained below.
- the connector 10 comprises a plate-shaped base body 12, which in the first embodiment is in the shape of a circular disk section.
- a total of four engagement elements 14a, 14b, 14c, 14d are arranged on the base body 12, each of which serves to anchor the connector 10 in a recess of the first component 28 or are formed in a recess of the second component 30.
- the engagement elements 14a and 14b are designed to be anchored in a recess of the first component. Therefore, the engagement elements 14a and 14b can also be referred to as first engagement elements.
- the engagement elements 14c and 14d are designed to be anchored in a recess of the second component. Therefore, the engagement elements 14c and 14d can also be referred to as second engagement elements.
- the engagement elements 14a, 14b, 14c, 14d and the base body 12 are integrally formed.
- the engagement elements 14a, 14b, 14c, 14d are thus firmly connected to the base body 12.
- the engagement elements 14a, 14b, 14c, 14d and the base body 12 therefore always form a coherent unit.
- the base body 12 carries the engagement elements 14a, 14b, 14c, 14d, it can also be referred to as a carrier element 16.
- an orientation projection 18 is arranged on a flat side of the carrier element 16 and thus overall on a flat side of the connector 10. Like the engagement elements 14a, 14b, 14c, 14d, the orientation projection 18 is formed integrally with the carrier element 16.
- the orientation projection 18 is formed as a circular cylindrical extension on the support element 16.
- the orientation projection 18 protrudes substantially perpendicularly from the carrier element 16. In the present embodiment, this means that a central axis of the orientation projection 18 is substantially perpendicular to the carrier element 16.
- orientation projection 18 is arranged centrally on the plate-shaped base body 12 if the plate-shaped base body 12 is conceptually supplemented to form a complete circular disk and/or the center is defined as the midpoint between the first engagement elements 14a, 14b and the second engagement elements 14c, 14d.
- the orientation projection 18 is separate from the engagement elements 14a, 14b, 14c, 14d.
- the connector 10 In order to bring the engagement elements 14a, 14b, 14c, 14d into engagement with the corresponding recesses for connecting the first component and the second component, the connector 10 must be rotated or, more generally, actuated.
- an actuating element 20 with an actuating interface 22 is provided.
- the actuating interface 22 is designed as an opening 24 that is open on one side and has a hexagonal cross-section.
- the actuating interface 22 is designed as a hexagon socket.
- the one-sided open opening 24 and thus the actuation interface 22 are arranged centrally in the orientation projection 18.
- the actuation interface 22 is consequently firmly connected to the carrier element 16.
- an actuation tool W in the form of a hexagon key can be inserted into the opening 24 which is open on one side in order to rotate the connector 10.
- the actuating element 20 and the orientation projection 18 are thus formed by a single element.
- the orientation projection 18 forms the actuating element 20 and the actuating element 20 forms the orientation projection 18.
- the orientation projection 18 serves for the correct orientation of the connector 10 in a recess of the first component and/or in a recess of the second component.
- the component connection 26 according to the first embodiment comprises a first component 28, a second component 30 and the connector 10 according to the first embodiment.
- the first component 28 has a first recess 32 which is delimited by a first opening 34 in a first contact surface 36 of the first component 28.
- the first recess 32 is designed as a groove, the groove opening of which is formed by the first opening 34 and the groove base of which is designed as a cylinder jacket section.
- An orientation recess 38 extends from the first recess 32.
- the orientation recess 38 is channel-shaped and extends to an outer component surface 40 of the first component 28. Furthermore, the orientation recess 38 is open in the direction of the first contact surface 36.
- component outer surface 40 is separate from the first contact surface 36.
- the component outer surface 40 and the first contact surface 36 are perpendicular to one another.
- the orientation recess 38 can thus also be regarded as a groove that runs from the first recess 32 to the component outer surface 40 of the first component 28. A direction of the groove thus also extends from the first recess 32 to the component outer surface 40. An opening of the orientation recess 38, regarded as a groove, lies in the first contact surface 36.
- the second component 30 comprises a second recess 42, which is delimited by a second opening 44 in a second contact surface 46 of the second component 30.
- the second recess 42 is also designed as a groove.
- the groove opening is formed by the second opening 44 and the groove base is designed as a cylinder jacket section.
- the connector 10 is arranged in sections within the first recess 32 and in sections within the second recess 42. More precisely, a section of the connector 10 is anchored in the first recess 32 by means of the engagement elements 14a, 14b and another section of the connector 10 is anchored in the second recess 42 by means of the engagement elements 14c, 14d.
- the orientation projection 18 is arranged in the orientation recess 38.
- orientation projection 18 forces a user to orient the connector 10 correctly.
- the connector 10 comprises an actuation interface 22 which can interact with the actuation tool W and which is provided on the orientation projection 18.
- the actuation interface 22 is thus positioned in the orientation recess 38.
- FIG. 3 shows a connector 10 according to a second embodiment. In the following, only the differences compared to the first embodiment will be discussed. Otherwise, the above explanations apply.
- the connector 10 according to the second embodiment is flat bar-shaped, i.e. has an outer contour that essentially corresponds to a flat, elongated cuboid.
- the connector 10 according to the second embodiment also comprises four engagement elements 14a, 14b, 14c, 14d.
- the engagement elements 14a, 14b, 14c, 14d in the connector 10 according to the second embodiment are movably coupled to the carrier element 16.
- the connector 10 comprises a cam gear 48 which is coupled to a first spreading element 50 and a second spreading element 52.
- the cam gear 48 is coupled to the actuating element 20, which in the connector 10 according to the second embodiment essentially has the shape of a screw head.
- the actuating interface 22 corresponds to the actuating interface 22 that was explained in connection with the first embodiment of the connector 10.
- the actuating element 20 is here rotatably mounted on the carrier element 16.
- a bearing element 54 which has the shape of a hollow circular cylinder, is provided on a flat side of the carrier element 16.
- An inner diameter of the bearing element 54 essentially corresponds to an outer diameter of the actuating element 20, so that the actuating element 20 can be rotatably mounted inside the bearing element 54.
- the bearing element 54 thus represents a rotary bearing element 56. Furthermore, in the connector 10 according to the second embodiment, the bearing element 54 forms the orientation projection 18. Thus, the orientation projection 18 also has the shape of a hollow circular cylinder.
- the orientation projection 18 also projects substantially perpendicularly from the flat side of the connector 10.
- a central axis of the hollow circular cylinder is thus substantially perpendicular to the flat side.
- orientation projection 18 is arranged centrally with respect to an insertion direction E of the connector 10 and with respect to an insertion transverse direction Q of the connector 10.
- Figures 4 and 5 show a component connection 26 according to a second embodiment. This comprises the first component 28, the second component 30 and a connector 10 according to the second embodiment.
- the connector is shown in a highly simplified manner in Figure 4.
- the state of the component connection 26 shown in Figures 4 and 5 corresponds to an intermediate state during assembly in which there is still a small gap between the first component and the second component 30.
- the orientation projection 18 is arranged in the orientation recess 38.
- the connector 10 according to the second embodiment can be used in two different, correct relative orientations in the component connection 26.
- the connector 10 can i.e. in these two relative orientations they can be inserted into the first component 28 and/or the second component 30.
- the engagement elements 14a and 14b can be arranged in the first recess 32, as shown in Figures 4 and 5.
- the engagement elements 14a and 14b can be arranged in the second recess 42.
- the orientation projection 18 forces a user to correctly orient the connector 10 according to one of these two alternatives.
- the connector comprises an actuation interface 22, which can also interact with the actuation tool W in the connector 10 according to the second embodiment.
- the actuation interface 22 is arranged in the orientation recess 38 as before.
- Figure 6 shows a connector 10 according to a third embodiment. This is similar to the connector 10 according to the second embodiment, so that only the differences between the connector 10 according to the third embodiment and the connector 10 according to the second embodiment are explained below.
- the actuating element 20 is arranged inside the carrier element 16. This means that the actuating element 20 does not protrude from the carrier element 16.
- the orientation projection 18 is separate from the actuating element 20.
- the orientation projection 18 has the shape of a solid circular cylinder which projects essentially perpendicularly from a flat side of the carrier element 16. A central axis of the solid circular cylinder is therefore perpendicular to the flat side of the carrier element 16.
- the orientation projection 18 is arranged on the same side of the connector 10 from which the actuation interface 22 of the actuation element is accessible.
- orientation projection 18 is now arranged off-center with respect to the insertion direction E of the connector 10.
- the orientation projection 18 is arranged closer to the engagement elements 14a, 14b than to the engagement elements 14c, 14d.
- Figures 7 and 8 show a component connection 26 according to a third embodiment. This comprises the first component 28, the second component 30 and a connector 10 according to the third embodiment.
- the state of the component connection 26 shown in Figures 7 and 8 corresponds to an intermediate state during assembly in which there is still a small gap between the first component and the second component 30.
- the first component 28 now has an access recess 58 which starts from the first recess 32 and extends to the outer surface 40 of the first component 28.
- the access recess 58 is channel-shaped and open in the direction of the first contact surface 36.
- the access recess 58 serves to enable the actuating element 20, more precisely the actuating interface 22 of the connector 10, to be reached with the actuating tool W.
- the orientation recess 38 is now designed as an extension of the access recess 58.
- Figure 9 shows a connector 10 according to a fourth embodiment.
- This connector 10 has the shape of a rectangular plate.
- An outer contour of the connector 10 according to the fourth embodiment therefore essentially corresponds to the shape of a flat cuboid.
- the engagement elements 14a, 14b, 14c, 14d are movably mounted on the carrier element 16 and can be moved by means of an actuating element 20 rotatably mounted on the carrier element 16.
- the actuating element 20 again has the shape of a screw head on which an actuating interface 22 designed as a hexagon socket is formed.
- the actuating element 20 is coupled to the engagement elements 14a, 14b, 14c, 14d via a cam gear 48.
- the actuating element 20 protrudes from a flat side of the carrier element 16 and thus forms the orientation projection 18.
- the orientation projection 18 is arranged centrally with respect to an insertion direction E of the connector 10 and with respect to an insertion transverse direction Q of the connector 10.
- the connector 10 according to the fourth embodiment is similar to the connector 10 according to the second embodiment.
- Figures 10 and 11 show a component connection 26 according to a fourth embodiment. This comprises the first component 28, the second component 30 and the connector 10 according to the fourth embodiment. In Figure 10, the connector is shown only in a highly simplified manner.
- the state of the component connection 26 shown in Figures 10 and 11 corresponds to an intermediate state during assembly in which there is still a small gap between the first component 28 and the second component 30.
- Figure 12 shows a connector 10 according to a fifth embodiment.
- This connector 10 is again flat bar-shaped and represents a variant of the connector 10 according to the second embodiment. Accordingly, only the differences compared to the second embodiment will be discussed below.
- the orientation projection 18 is thus again formed by the bearing element 54, which is again a rotary bearing element 56.
- an outer contour of the pivot bearing element 56 is no longer circular-cylindrical, but has a polygonal cross-section with eight corners.
- the actuating element 20 and the engagement elements 14a, 14b, 14c, 14d are connected via a gear transmission 60, not shown in detail.
- a first gear of the gear transmission 60 which is
- the first gear which can be referred to as a drive gear, is coupled to the actuating element 20 in a torque-conducting manner.
- This first gear is mounted on the orientation projection 18 designed as a pivot bearing element 56.
- the actuating element 20 and the first gear can be designed as a single piece.
- Figures 13 and 14 show a component connection 26 according to a fifth embodiment. This comprises the first component 28, the second component 30 and the connector 10 according to the fifth embodiment. The connector is shown in a greatly simplified manner.
