Knotenverbinder für ZeltgerüsteNode connectors for tent frames

BeschreibungDescription

Die Erfindung betrifft Knotenverbinder für Zeltgerüste, mit mindestens zwei mittelbar starr miteinander verbundenen Stutzen zum Anstecken, das heißt Auf- oder Einstecken, von Gerüststangen.
Zeltgerüste weisen zur Verbindung ihrer Stangen an Eck-, Ansatz- und Kreuzungspunkten sogenannte Knotenverbinder auf, deren Stutzen in den WinkeI be &zgr;iehungen der verbundenen Gerüststangen stehen müssen.
Da Zeltgerüste nicht genormt sind, weisen die Stutzen vergleichbarer Knot en verbinder verschiedener Zeltgerüste unterschiedliche Wi&eegr;ke I be &zgr;iehungen auf. Wer also verschiedene Zeltgerüste für z. B. verschiedene Dachneigungen herstellt, muß für einige Gerüstpunkte je verschiedene Knotenverbinder herstellen.The invention relates to node connectors for tent scaffolding, with at least two indirectly rigidly connected supports for attaching, i.e. plugging in or out, scaffolding poles.
Tent scaffolds have so-called node connectors to connect their poles at corner, attachment and crossing points, the supports of which must be at the angles of the connected scaffold poles.
Since tent scaffolding is not standardized, the supports of comparable node connectors of different tent scaffoldings have different angles. So if you make different tent scaffoldings for different roof pitches, for example, you have to make different node connectors for some scaffolding points.

Um nun die Fertigung von Knotenverbindern für Zeltgerüste zu rationali sieren,wi rd erfindungsgemäß als Mittel zur Verbindung der Verbinderstutzen ein Hohlkörper aus Blech vorgeschlagen, an dem die Stutzen stirnseitig angeschweißt sind.In order to rationalize the production of node connectors for tent frames, the invention proposes a hollow body made of sheet metal as a means of connecting the connector supports, to which the supports are welded on the front side.

Es sind zwar schon eher massiv zu nennende Oktaeder als Verbindungsmittel bekannt; Stutzen oder dergleichen werden an diese Oktaeder aber durch Steck-, Renk- oder Schraubverbindungen angeschlossen.Solid octahedrons are already known as connecting elements; however, nozzles or similar are connected to these octahedrons using plug-in, bayonet or screw connections.

Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Knotenverbinders ist als Hohlkörper eine Hohlkugel vorgesehen, die im Vergleich mit einem Polyeder beliebige Winkel-In a preferred embodiment of the node connector according to the invention, a hollow sphere is provided as the hollow body, which, in comparison with a polyhedron, can form any angle

beziehungen der Verbinderstutzen erlaubt.relationships of the connector sockets allowed.

Bei der bevorzugten Ausführungsform besteht die Hohlkugel aus zwei miteinander verschweißten Hälften, und sie weist Wanddurchbrüche für den Ein- und Austritt einer Galvanisierflüssigkeit auf, mittels welcher der Knotenverbinder beispielsweise vernickelt werden kann. Eine solche Hohlkugel läßt sich einfach fertigen.In the preferred embodiment, the hollow sphere consists of two halves welded together and has wall openings for the entry and exit of a galvanizing liquid, by means of which the node connector can be nickel-plated, for example. Such a hollow sphere is easy to manufacture.

Bei der bevorzugten Ausführungsform sind als Wanddurchbrüche Spalte zwischen den Kugelhälften und/oder einfache Löcher in denselben vorgesehen, so daß die Ga I vanisierf I üssigkeit ohne weiteres ein- und austreten kann.In the preferred embodiment, gaps between the sphere halves and/or simple holes in them are provided as wall openings so that the electroplating liquid can easily enter and exit.

Bei der bevorzugten Ausführungsf&ogr;rm sind die angeschweißten Stutzenenden konisch geformt, und sie stoßen senkrecht auf die Hohlkugel, so daß alle Schweißpunkte oder -nähte in gleicher Weise angebracht werden können.In the preferred embodiment, the welded nozzle ends are conical in shape and they abut perpendicularly against the hollow sphere so that all welding points or seams can be made in the same way.

Zweckmäßig sind die Schweißstellen zur Verbindung von Metallblechen durch elektrische Widerstands-Buckelschweißung g e bi Idet -The welding points for joining metal sheets are suitably formed by electrical resistance projection welding.

Im folgenden ist die Erfindung anhand der durch die Zeichnung beispielhaft dargestellten bevorzugten Ausführungs form des erfindungsgemäßen Knotenverbinders im einzelnen erläutert. Es zeigt:The invention is explained in detail below using the preferred embodiment of the node connector according to the invention as shown by way of example in the drawing. It shows:

Figur 1: Eine Stirnansicht der Ausführungsf&ogr;rm undFigure 1: A front view of the embodiment and

Figur 2: Eine Draufsicht auf die Ausführungsf&ogr;rm.Figure 2: A top view of the embodiment.

Im Ausführungsbeispiel ist der erfindungsgemäße Knotenverbinder ein Eckverbinder für diejenigen Gerüstste I I en, an welchen eine waagrechte Firststange mit zwei gleich^aber gegensinnig geneigten Giebe I stangen oder eine solche Giebelstange mit einer waagrechten Traufstange und einer vertikalen Stützstange zu verbinden ist.
Der beispielgebende Eckverbinder weist eine Hohlkugel 10 aus verschweißbarem Metallblech und drei gleiche Stutzen 12 aus gleichem Material auf.In the embodiment, the node connector according to the invention is a corner connector for those scaffolding posts to which a horizontal ridge pole is to be connected to two equally but oppositely inclined gable poles or such a gable pole is to be connected to a horizontal eaves pole and a vertical support pole.
The exemplary corner connector has a hollow sphere 10 made of weldable sheet metal and three identical nozzles 12 made of the same material.

Die Hohlkugel besteht aus zwei gleichen Hälften 10.1 und 10.2, deren sich gegenüberstehende Ränder unter Einhaltung schlitzförmiger Spalte 14 miteinander verschweißt sind. Als zusätzliehe Wanddurchbrüche weist die Hohlkugel 10 mehrere Löcher 16 auf.The hollow sphere consists of two identical halves 10.1 and 10.2, the opposing edges of which are welded together while maintaining slot-shaped gaps 14. The hollow sphere 10 has several holes 16 as additional wall openings.

Jeder der im übrigen kreiszylindrischen Stutzen 12 weist ein mit der Hohlkugel 10 verbundenes konisches Ende 18 auf, das je nach Lage mit einer oder beiden Hälften der Hohlkugel 10 über seinen ganzen Umfang verschweißt ist. Dabei ist die Relativanordnung von Stutzen 12 und Hohlkugel 10 so getroffen, daß die Längsachse 20 jedes Stutzens 12 durch den Mittelpunkt 22 der Hohlkugel 10 geht, wobei der Stutzen 12' mit den beiden anderen Stutzen 12 je einen rechten Winkel bildet, welche miteinander einen stumpfen Winkel von zum Beispiel 144 einschließen.Each of the otherwise circular cylindrical nozzles 12 has a conical end 18 connected to the hollow ball 10, which, depending on the position, is welded to one or both halves of the hollow ball 10 over its entire circumference. The relative arrangement of nozzle 12 and hollow ball 10 is such that the longitudinal axis 20 of each nozzle 12 passes through the center 22 of the hollow ball 10, whereby the nozzle 12' forms a right angle with the other two nozzles 12, which enclose an obtuse angle of, for example, 144 with each other.
