Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen U-förmigen Steckverbinder aus Kunststoff zum Verbinden von Hohlprofilen, insbesondere von Abstandhalter-Hohlprofilen aus Metall, Kunststoff od.dgl. für Mehrscheiben-Isoliergläser, wobei der Steckverbinder an seinen Seitenstegen mit nach außen gerichteten, entgegen der Einsteckrichtung nach hinten geneigten Lamellen versehen ist.The invention relates to a U-shaped connector made of plastic for connecting hollow sections, in particular of spacer hollow profiles made of metal, plastic or the like. for multi-pane insulating glass, wherein the connector is provided on its side bars with outwardly directed, opposite to the insertion direction backward slats.
Es ist eine Vielzahl derartiger Steckverbinder bekannt, die jedoch alle den Nachteil aufweisen, nur mit sehr hohem technischen Aufwand eine zufriedenstellende Befestigung in den zu verbindenden Hohlprofilen sicherzustellen.There is a variety of such connectors known, but all have the disadvantage, only with very high technical effort to ensure a satisfactory attachment in the hollow sections to be joined.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, einen gattungsgemäßen Steckverbinder vorzuschlagen, der die Hohlprofile sicher miteinander verbindet und eventuelle Fertigungstoleranzen in den Hohlprofilen auszugleichen vermag.The object of the invention is to propose a generic connector, which connects the hollow profiles securely together and compensate any manufacturing tolerances in the hollow sections is able.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß der Steckverbinder ausschließlich im Bereich der Längskanten seiner Bodenfläche als Widerhaken dienende Erhebungen aufweist und daß die Erhebungen als Auflaufschrägen in Aufsteckrichtung der Hohlprofile ausgebildet sind.This object is achieved in that the connector exclusively in the region of the longitudinal edges of its bottom surface serving as barbs surveys and that the elevations are formed as chamfers in Aufsteckrichtung the hollow sections.
Die Erhebungen verklemmen sich in den Hohlprofilen und können sich auch an kleinsten Unebenheiten abstützen.The elevations jam in the hollow sections and can be supported even on the smallest bumps.
Erfindungsgemäß hat es sich als äußerst vorteilhaft erwiesen, wenn Anschläge vorgesehen sind, die eine Einstecklänge in die zu verbindenden Hohlprofile vorgeben.According to the invention, it has proved to be extremely advantageous if stops are provided which predetermine a Einstecklänge in the hollow sections to be joined.
Dadurch wird ein versehentliches zu weites Einstecken des Verbinders in ein Hohlprofil wirksam vermieden.As a result, an accidental too far plugging the connector into a hollow profile is effectively avoided.
Als besonders vorteilhaft hat es sich erwiesen, wenn die Anschläge im Bereich der Mitte der Längserstreckung des U-Verbinders angeordnet sind.It has proven to be particularly advantageous if the stops are arranged in the region of the middle of the longitudinal extension of the U-connector.
Hierdurch stehen für beide Hohlprofile gleiche Einstecklängen zur Verfügung. Der Steckverbinder lässt sich in beiden Richtungen verwenden.As a result, the same insertion lengths are available for both hollow profiles. The connector can be used in both directions.
Gemäß einer weiteren sehr vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung hat es sich als zweckdienlich erwiesen, wenn die Anschläge an den Außenseiten der Seitenstege vorgesehen sind.According to a further very advantageous embodiment of the invention, it has proven to be expedient if the stops are provided on the outer sides of the side webs.
Hierdurch wird der Durchfluß eines Molekularsiebes durch den Steckverbinder geringstmöglich behindert.As a result, the flow through a molecular sieve is hindered by the connector as little as possible.
Erfindungsgemäß ist es auch sehr vorteilhaft, wenn ein federndes Ausgleichselement im Bereich der Anschläge vorgesehen ist.According to the invention, it is also very advantageous if a resilient compensation element is provided in the region of the stops.
Durch dieses Ausgleichselement werden Toleranzen in der Breite der Hohlprofile ausgeglichen. Ein Wackeln des Verbinders im Hohlprofil wird vermieden.By this compensating element tolerances in the width of the hollow profiles are compensated. A wobble of the connector in the hollow profile is avoided.
Gemäß der Erfindung sind die als Widerhaken dienenden Erhebungen im Bereich der Längskanten der Bodenfläche angeordnet.According to the invention, the bumps serving as bumps in the region of the longitudinal edges of the bottom surface are arranged.
Durch diese Anordnung können sich die Erhebungen besonders gut am Hohlprofil abstützen, ohne dieses zu verformen.By this arrangement, the surveys can be supported particularly well on the hollow profile, without deforming it.
Die Erhebungen sind als Auflaufschrägen in Aufsteckrichtung der Hohlprofile angeordnet.The elevations are arranged as ramps in Aufsteckrichtung the hollow sections.
Hierdurch wird sichergestellt, daß der Verbinder leicht in die Hohlprofile hineinsteckbar ist.This ensures that the connector is easily hineinsteckbar in the hollow sections.
Gemäß der Erfindung ist es sehr vorteilhaft, wenn die Erhebungen entgegen der Einsteckrichtung wenigstens annähernd senkrecht zur Bodenfläche hin abfallend ausgebildet sind.According to the invention, it is very advantageous if the elevations are formed sloping counter to the insertion at least approximately perpendicular to the bottom surface.
Dadurch vermag sich die Erhebung bereits an kleinsten Unebenheiten im Inneren des Hohlprofils abzustützen.As a result, the survey is able to support even the smallest bumps in the interior of the hollow profile.
Eine Vielzahl von Erhebungen ist in Längsrichtung hintereinander angeordnet.A plurality of elevations is arranged one behind the other in the longitudinal direction.
Damit wird die Verklemmung des Verbinders im Hohlprofil nochmals verbessert.This further improves the jamming of the connector in the hollow profile.
Hierdurch werden durch die Erhebungen Höhenunterschiede im Hohlprofil ausgeglichen.As a result, height differences in the hollow profile are compensated by the surveys.
Im folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels veranschaulicht.In the following the invention is illustrated by means of an embodiment.

Mit 1 ist in
An den Außenseiten 5 der Seitenstege 3 sind nach außen gerichtete und entgegen der Einsteckrichtung des Verbinders 1 in die nicht dargestellten Hohlprofile geneigte Lamellen 6 angeordnet, die sich an den Innenseiten der Schmalseiten der Hohlprofile abzustützen vermögen. Die Lamellen 6 können dabei federnd ausgebildet sein, wodurch sich diese besonders eng an die Innenseiten anlegen, dabei Breitentoleranzen der Hohlprofile ausgleichen und ein Hindurchfliesen des Molekularsiebs zwischen den Seitenstegen und den Innenseiten der Schmalseiten der Hohlprofile verhindern.On the
In der Mitte der Längserstreckung der Seitenstege 3 ist auf deren Außenseite 5 jeweils ein Mittenanschlag 7 und 8 vorgesehen, wobei der Mittenanschlag 7 für das erste Hohlprofil und der Mittenanschlag 8 für das zweite Hohlprofil vorgesehen ist. In Einsteckrichtung vor den Mittenanschlägen 7 und 8 ist jeweils ein Ausgleichselement 9 vorgesehen, welches federnd ausgebildet ist und einerseits ein Wackeln des Verbinders 1 in den Hohlprofilen verhindert und andererseits Breitentoleranzen der Hohlprofile auszugleichen vermag.In the middle of the longitudinal extension of the
An der Außenseite der Bodenfläche 2 sind entlang den Längskanten eine Vielzahl von Erhebungen 10 vorgesehen. Diese Erhebungen 10 dienen als Widerhaken und stützen sich an der Breitseite der Hohlprofile ab.

Die in Einsteckrichtung hinten liegende Seite der Erhebungen 10 ist dagegen senkrecht zur Bodenfläche 2 hin abfallend ausgebildet, wodurch ein leichtes Einstecken ermöglicht wird, aber dennoch eine gute Verhakung der Erhebungen an bereits kleinsten Unebenheiten der Innenseite der Hohlprofil ermöglicht wird.The
Es können neben den Erhebungen 10 auch noch lamellenförmige Stege 11 vorgesehen sein, die sich ebenfalls auf der Innenseite der Hohlprofile abzustützen vermögen. Diese Stege 11 können plastisch und elastisch verformbar oder aber federnd ausgebildet sein.It can be provided in addition to the
Es ist auch eine plastische Verformbarkeit sowohl der Lamellen 6 als auch der Erhebungen 10 denkbar.It is also a plastic deformability of both the
