Definitions
- the invention relates to a straight connector, in particular made of plastic, for hollow spacer profiles of a multi-pane insulating gas, with an elongated body, the cross section of which is adapted to the cavity cross section of two spacer profiles to be connected in a straight line.
- Such a straight connector is essentially known from DE-A-2 314 776.
- this straight connector is not suitable for firmly, tightly and permanently connecting the spacer profiles to one another without the production outlay being unduly large.
- This straight connector is designed as a fitting, the seat of which in the installed state in the adjacent spacing profiles is not so tight and firm that slipping within the profile cavity and the penetration of moisture is avoided.
- the object of the invention is therefore to provide a suitable straight connector for successive straight-line spacer profiles that are to be connected to one another to form a frame for multi-pane insulating glass, which ensures that the spacer profiles can be firmly, tightly and permanently connected to one another without the manufacturing effort for such a straight connector in detail and the profile body frame in its entirety becomes inappropriately large.
- the straight connector consists of two parts, one part of which can be inserted into one spacer profile and the other part into the other spacer profile and their surfaces, which face those inner walls of the spacer profiles which are on the outside of them take up both glass panes of the multi-pane insulating glass, are provided with spring bodies which can be brought into frictional contact with these inner walls.
- Such a straight connector which due to its flat design can also be called a flat connector, has an excess in the area of its spring body in relation to the cavity cross section of the spacer profiles to be connected, so that the spring body is elastically deformed when the straight connector is pressed into the cavity of the relevant spacer profile and after the straight connector has been inserted, form a fixed frictional connection with the inner walls of the spacer profile opposite them, which prevents the straight connector from slipping out of the spacer profile.
- the spring bodies on the straight connector only on those surfaces which lie opposite the inner walls of the spacer profile which accommodate the two glass panes of the multi-pane insulating glass on their outer sides.
- Such spring bodies can be material strips arched outward in an arc shape, which extend in the longitudinal direction of the body of the straight connector and are inseparably connected at their ends to the sides of the body. If the body is made of plastic and is then produced in an injection molding process, the spring bodies are part of the injection molded body and are so firmly connected to the body surface that they do not tear or break under the deformation forces which arise when the straight connector is inserted into the cavity of the spacer profile.
- the body For the construction of the straight connector, it has proven useful to give the body a base plate on which perpendicular, spaced transverse ribs are arranged, the width of which corresponds to the width of the base plate and the height of which corresponds approximately to the inside height of the cavity cross section of the spacer profile.
- these transverse ribs can be connected to one another by means of central webs standing on the base plate and extending at right angles to them, the height of which is arbitrary in itself, but is usually smaller than that of the transverse ribs.
- the spring bodies can then be attached to the lateral outer edges of the transverse ribs, so that the spring bodies present between the successive transverse ribs are bridged Space is available for the deformation of the springs, i.e. the springs are not additionally supported between the transverse ribs.
- the number of spring bodies, which the straight connector has on both opposite sides of the body can be the same in order to ensure a uniform pressure force transmission between the body and the inner walls of the spacer profiles.
- the straight connector is pushed into the profile cavity only up to half the length of the body, i.e. only one part is inserted into only one spacing profile, while the other part of the body is then available for the other spacing profile proven to mount a stop on the body, which is located in the middle of the body length and can be designed as a rib extending around its circumference, which can be brought into contact with the opposite end faces of the spacer profile.
- the two parts of the body can be formed symmetrically and of equal length and can be connected by a center body, which itself can serve as a stop for the end faces of the two spacer profiles to be connected by the straight connector, so that a special stop rib does not then have to be provided for this center body can advantageously be provided with a through hole, which can be closed and is used for venting and / or gassing the space between the insulating panes.
- the straight connector shown in plan view in FIG. 1 consists of the two parts A and B of equal length, of which part A can be inserted into a spacer profile, not shown, and the other part B into another spacer profile to be connected to the first spacer profile.
- the two parts A and B form the elongated body 1 of the straight connector; which has a flat bottom plate 2; on which perpendicularly spaced transverse ribs 3 are arranged, the width of which corresponds to the width of the base plate 2 and the height of which corresponds approximately to the clear height of the cavity cross section of the spacer profiles.
- the transverse ribs 3 are connected to central webs 4 which are perpendicular to the base plate 2 and which, like the transverse ribs 3, form a common whole, the height of which can be smaller than that of the transverse ribs 3.
- two transverse ribs 3 are used for each part A and B of the body 1, one of which is located at the end of the body and the other in the middle of the part in question.
- the body 1 is on its two sides, which come into contact with the profile inner walls in the inserted state of the straight connector, the outer surfaces of which accommodate the two glass panes of the multi-pane insulating glass, which are separated by a distance, provided with spring bodies 5 which form material strips that curve outwards in an arc shape. which extend in the longitudinal direction of the body 1 and are inseparably connected at their ends to the side edges of the transverse ribs 3.
- the two parts A and B of the body 1 each have two successive spring bodies 5 on both sides, the height of which, as seen from. Fig. 2 can be seen, is significantly smaller than the height of the transverse ribs 3.
- These spring bodies 5 are pushed elastically inwards into the space 9 when the straight connector is pushed into the cavity of the relevant spacing profile, and are thereby elastically deformed, as a result of which they are connected to the inner walls of the hollow profile Make a frictional connection, which causes the straight connector to be stuck when installed.
- the spring effect of the spring body 5 undoubtedly depends not only on the thickness of the material strips and the bridging length from cross rib to cross rib, but also on the type of material, for example plastic, from which the straight connector is made, for example, by injection molding.
- the two parts A and B of the body 1 of equal length are connected by a common center body 6, which in the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is surrounded by a rib running around its circumference, which acts as a stop 7 of the straight connector for the opposite ones
- a stop 7 is superfluous in the cases in which one part of the body 1 is pushed into the associated spacing profile until the end of this body part abuts against an inner wall of the spacing profile, as can be the case, for example, when it is a curved spacer profile with a short and a long leg, and the straight connector is inserted into the short leg.
- Such an embodiment of the straight connector is shown in FIG. 3 in an isometric view.
- the course of such a bore is indicated by dashed lines in FIG. 2.
- the middle part 6 itself as a stop body for the end faces of the spacer profiles to be connected to one another, by giving this middle part a cross-sectional dimension which still projects beyond the height of the spring body 5.
- the insertion of the straight connector into the opening of the profile cavity can be facilitated in that the straight connector tapers somewhat at its ends.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Geradverbinder, insbesondere aus Kunststoff, für hohle Abstandprofile eines Mehrscheibenisoiiergtases, mit einem länglichen Körper, dessen Querschnitt an den Hohlraumquerschnitt zweier miteinander geradlinig zu verbindender Abstandsprofile angepaßt ist.The invention relates to a straight connector, in particular made of plastic, for hollow spacer profiles of a multi-pane insulating gas, with an elongated body, the cross section of which is adapted to the cavity cross section of two spacer profiles to be connected in a straight line.
Es ist bekannt, hohle Abstandsprofile von Mehrscheibenisoliergläsem durch Eckverbinder an ihren Enden miteinander zu verbinden, um Rahmenprofilkörper herzustellen, auf deren Seitenflächen die mit Abstand getrennten Glasscheiben des Isolierglases befestigt werden. Die Verbindung solcher Abstandsprofile an den vier Ecken derartiger Profilrahmen mittels spezieller Eckverbindungskörper kann jedoch nicht voll befriedigen, weil die Abdichtung der rechtwinklig aufeinanderstoßenden Abstandsprofile, durch die das Eindringen von Feuchtigkeit in den Scheibenzwischenraum verhindert werden soll, nicht immer vollständig gelingt und weil darüber hinaus die Stabilität des mit Hilfe solcher Eckverbindungskörper aus geraden Abstandsprofilen zusammengesetzten Rahmens oftmals zu wünschen übrig läßt.It is known to connect hollow spacer profiles of multi-pane insulating glass to one another at their ends by means of corner connectors in order to produce frame profile bodies, on the side surfaces of which the spaced-apart glass panes of the insulating glass are fastened. However, the connection of such spacer profiles at the four corners of such profile frames by means of special corner connecting bodies cannot be completely satisfactory because the sealing of the spaced-apart spaced-apart profiles, which are intended to prevent the penetration of moisture into the space between the panes, is not always completely successful, and because stability is also achieved of the frame assembled with the help of such corner connecting bodies from straight spacer profiles often leaves something to be desired.
Es ist daher vorgeschlagen worden, anstelle von geraden Abstandsprofilen rundgebogene zu verwenden und auf diese Weise das Abdichtungsproblem an den Rahmenecken zu beseitigen und die Verbindungsstelle zweier aufeinanderfolgender, stoßender Abstandsprofile irr die geraden Seiten des Rahmens zu verlegen und durch einen Geradverbinder der eingangs genannten Art zu verbinden.It has therefore been proposed to use rounded bends instead of straight spacer profiles and in this way to eliminate the sealing problem at the frame corners and to relocate the connection point of two successive abutting spacer profiles to the straight sides of the frame and to connect them by means of a straight connector of the type mentioned at the beginning .
Ein derartiger Geradverbinder ist im wesentlichen durch die DE-A-2 314 776 bekannt. Dieser Geradverbinder eignet sich jedoch nicht dazu, die Abstandsprofile fest, dicht und dauerhaft miteinander zu verbinden, ohne daß der Herstellungsaufwand unangemessen groß wird. Dieser Geradverbinder ist nämlich als Paßstück ausgebildet, dessen Sitz im Einbauzustand in den benachbarten Abstandsprofilen nicht so dicht und fest ist, daß ein Verrutschen innerhalb des Profilhohlraums und das Eindringen von Feuchtigkeit vermieden wird.Such a straight connector is essentially known from DE-A-2 314 776. However, this straight connector is not suitable for firmly, tightly and permanently connecting the spacer profiles to one another without the production outlay being unduly large. This straight connector is designed as a fitting, the seat of which in the installed state in the adjacent spacing profiles is not so tight and firm that slipping within the profile cavity and the penetration of moisture is avoided.
Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht deshalb darin, für in gerader Linie aufeinanderfolgende Abstandsprofile, die miteinander zu einem Rahmen für Mehrscheibenisolierglas verbunden werden sollen, einen geeigneten Geradverbinder zu schaffen, der gewährleistet, daß die Abstandsprofile fest, dicht und dauerhaft miteinander verbunden werden können, ohne daß der Herstellungsaufwand für einen solchen Geradverbinder im einzelnen und den Profilkörperrahmen in seiner Gesamtheit unangemessen groß wird.The object of the invention is therefore to provide a suitable straight connector for successive straight-line spacer profiles that are to be connected to one another to form a frame for multi-pane insulating glass, which ensures that the spacer profiles can be firmly, tightly and permanently connected to one another without the manufacturing effort for such a straight connector in detail and the profile body frame in its entirety becomes inappropriately large.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß der Geradverbinder aus zwei Teilen besteht, von denen der eine Teil in das eine Abstandprofil und der andere Teil in das andere Abstandsprofil einsteckbar ist und deren Oberflächen, die denjenigen Innenwänden der Abstandsprofile gegenüberliegen, die auf ihren Außenseiten die beiden Glasscheiben des Mehrscheibenisolierglases aufnehmen, mit Federkörpern versehen sind, welche mit diesen Innenwänden in Reibungsberührung bringbar sind.This object is achieved in that the straight connector consists of two parts, one part of which can be inserted into one spacer profile and the other part into the other spacer profile and their surfaces, which face those inner walls of the spacer profiles which are on the outside of them take up both glass panes of the multi-pane insulating glass, are provided with spring bodies which can be brought into frictional contact with these inner walls.
Ein solcher Geradverbinder, der aufgrund seiner flachen Bauweise auch Flachverbinder genannt werden kann, hat im Bereich seiner Federkörper in bezug auf den Hohlraumquerschnitt der miteinander zu verbindenden Abstandsprofile ein Übermaß, so daß die Federkörper beim Hineinpressen des Geradverbinders in den Hohlraum des betreffenden Abstandsprofils elastisch verformt werden und nach erfolgtem Einschub des Geradverbinders mit den ihnen gegenüberliegenden Innenwänden des Abstandsprofils eine feste Reibschlußverbindung bilden, die ein Herausrutschen des Geradverbinders aus dem Abstandsprofil verhindert. In diesem Zusammenhang hat sich im Hinblick auf die zwischen dem Geradverbinder und den Abstandsprofilwänden herrschenden Druckkräfte bewährt, die Federkörper am Geradverbinder nur auf denjenigen Oberflächen anzuordnen, die den Innenwänden des Abstandsprofils gegenüberliegen, welche auf ihren Außenseiten die beiden Glasscheiben des Mehrscheibenisolierglases aufnehmen. Solche Federkörper können bogenförmig nach außen gewölbte Materialstreifen sein, die sich in Längsrichtung des Körpers des Geradverbinders erstrecken und an ihren Enden mit den Seiten des Körpers untrennbar verbunden sind. Falls der Körper aus Kunststoff besteht und dann in einem Spritzgußverfahren hergestellt wird, sind die Federkörper Bestandteil des Spritzgußkörpers und mit der Körperoberfläche so fest verbunden, daß sie unter den beim Einschieben des Geradverbinders in den Hohlraum des Abstandsprofils entstehenden Verformungskräften nicht abreißen oder brechen.Such a straight connector, which due to its flat design can also be called a flat connector, has an excess in the area of its spring body in relation to the cavity cross section of the spacer profiles to be connected, so that the spring body is elastically deformed when the straight connector is pressed into the cavity of the relevant spacer profile and after the straight connector has been inserted, form a fixed frictional connection with the inner walls of the spacer profile opposite them, which prevents the straight connector from slipping out of the spacer profile. In this context, with regard to the pressure forces prevailing between the straight connector and the spacer profile walls, it has proven useful to arrange the spring bodies on the straight connector only on those surfaces which lie opposite the inner walls of the spacer profile which accommodate the two glass panes of the multi-pane insulating glass on their outer sides. Such spring bodies can be material strips arched outward in an arc shape, which extend in the longitudinal direction of the body of the straight connector and are inseparably connected at their ends to the sides of the body. If the body is made of plastic and is then produced in an injection molding process, the spring bodies are part of the injection molded body and are so firmly connected to the body surface that they do not tear or break under the deformation forces which arise when the straight connector is inserted into the cavity of the spacer profile.
Für den Aufbau des Geradverbinders hat es sich bewährt, dem Körper eine Bodenplatte zu geben, auf der senkrecht stehende, mit Abstand getrennte Querrippen angeordnet sind, deren Breite der Breite der Bodenplatte entspricht und deren Höhe etwa der lichten Höhe des Hohlraumquerschnittes des Abstandsprofils entspricht. Diese Querrippen können gemäß einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung des Erfindungsvorschlags durch auf der Bodenplatte stehende, sich rechtwinklig zu ihnen erstreckende Mittelstege miteinander verbunden werden, deren Höhe an sich beliebig ist, jedoch gewöhnlich kleiner ist als die der Querrippen. Die Federkörper können dann an den seitlichen Außenkanten der Querrippen angebracht werden, so daß der zwischen den aufeinanderfolgenden Querrippen vorhandene, von den Federkörpern überbrückte Raum für die Verformung der Federn zur Verfügung steht, die Federn also zwischen den Querrippen nicht zusätzlich abgestützt sind.For the construction of the straight connector, it has proven useful to give the body a base plate on which perpendicular, spaced transverse ribs are arranged, the width of which corresponds to the width of the base plate and the height of which corresponds approximately to the inside height of the cavity cross section of the spacer profile. According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, these transverse ribs can be connected to one another by means of central webs standing on the base plate and extending at right angles to them, the height of which is arbitrary in itself, but is usually smaller than that of the transverse ribs. The spring bodies can then be attached to the lateral outer edges of the transverse ribs, so that the spring bodies present between the successive transverse ribs are bridged Space is available for the deformation of the springs, i.e. the springs are not additionally supported between the transverse ribs.
Die Anzahl der Federkörper, die der Geradverbinder an beiden gegenüberliegenden Körperseiten aufweist, kann gleich groß sein, um eine gleichmäßige Druckkraftübertragung zwischen dem Körper und den Innenwänden der Abstandsprofile sicherzustellen. Für das elastische Verhalten der Federkörper hat sich als günstig erwiesen, ihre in Höhe des Hohlraumquerschnitts gemessene Breite wesentlich kleiner zu machen als die Höhe der Querrippen. Ferner ist die Möglichkeit gegeben, in Höhe des Hohlraumquerschnitts gemessen, auch mehrere Federkörper mit Abstand übereinander anzuordnen, um dadurch das Federungsvermögen bzw. die Reibschlußverbindung zwischen dem Körper des Geradverbinders und den Profilinnenwänden in der gewünschten Weise zu beeinflussen.The number of spring bodies, which the straight connector has on both opposite sides of the body, can be the same in order to ensure a uniform pressure force transmission between the body and the inner walls of the spacer profiles. For the elastic behavior of the spring bodies, it has proven advantageous to make their width, measured at the height of the cavity cross section, significantly smaller than the height of the transverse ribs. Furthermore, there is the possibility, measured at the height of the cavity cross section, of also arranging a plurality of spring bodies at a distance from one another, in order thereby to influence the spring capacity or the frictional connection between the body of the straight connector and the profile inner walls in the desired manner.
Damit das Einschieben des Geradverbinders in den Profilhohlraum nur etwa bis zur halben Länge des Körpers geschieht, also nur der eine Teil in jeweils nur das eine Abstandsprofil eingeschoben wird, während dann der andere Teil des Körpers für das andere Abstandsprofil zur Verfügung steht, hat es sich bewährt, auf dem Körper einen Anschlag anzubringen, der sich in der Mitte der Körperlänge befindet und als eine sich rund um seinen Umfang erstreckende Rippe ausgebildet sein kann, die mit den sich gegenüberliegenden Stirnseiten des Abstandsprofils in Berührung bringbar ist. Die beiden Teile des Körpers lassen sich symmetrisch und gleich lang ausbilden und können durch einen Mittelkörper verbunden sein, der selbst als Anschlag für dieStirnseiten der beiden durch den Geradverbinder zu verbindenden Abstandsprofile dienen kann, so daß dann eine besondere Anschlagrippe nicht vorgesehen zu werden braucht Dieser Mittelkörper kann vorteilhafterweise mit einer Durchgangsbohrung versehen werden, die verschließbar ist und zur Entlüftung und/oder Begasung des Isolierscheibenzwischenraums dient.So that the straight connector is pushed into the profile cavity only up to half the length of the body, i.e. only one part is inserted into only one spacing profile, while the other part of the body is then available for the other spacing profile proven to mount a stop on the body, which is located in the middle of the body length and can be designed as a rib extending around its circumference, which can be brought into contact with the opposite end faces of the spacer profile. The two parts of the body can be formed symmetrically and of equal length and can be connected by a center body, which itself can serve as a stop for the end faces of the two spacer profiles to be connected by the straight connector, so that a special stop rib does not then have to be provided for this center body can advantageously be provided with a through hole, which can be closed and is used for venting and / or gassing the space between the insulating panes.
Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand des in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert. In der Zeichnung zeigt
- Fig.1 1 eine Draufsicht des Geradverbinders,
- Fig. 2 eine Querschnittansicht längs der Linie II-II in Fig. 1, und
- Fig. 3 eine isometrische Darstellung des Geradverbinders.
- 11 is a top view of the straight connector,
- Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view along the line II-II in Fig. 1, and
- Fig. 3 is an isometric view of the straight connector.
Der in Fig. 1 in Draufsicht dargestellte Geradverbinder besteht aus den beiden gleich langen Teilen A und B, von denen der Teil A in ein nicht gezeigtes Abstandsprofil und der andere Teil B in ein anderes mit dem ersten Abstandsprofil zu verbindendes Abstandsprofil einsteckbar sind. Die beiden Teile A und B bilden den länglichen Körper 1 des Geradverbinders; der eine flache Bodenplatte 2 besitzt; auf der senkrecht stehende, mit Abstand getrennte Querrippen 3 angeordnet sind, deren Breite der Breite der Bodenplatte 2 entspricht und deren Höhe in etwa der lichten Höhe des Hohlraumquerschnitts der Abstandsprofile entspricht. Die Querrippen 3 sind, wie aus Fig.2 ersichtlich, mit auf der Bodenplatte 2 senkrecht stehenden und mit dieser wie die Querrippen 3 ein gemeinsames Ganzes bildenden Mittelstegen 4 verbunden, deren Höhe kleiner sein kann als diejenige der Querrippen 3.The straight connector shown in plan view in FIG. 1 consists of the two parts A and B of equal length, of which part A can be inserted into a spacer profile, not shown, and the other part B into another spacer profile to be connected to the first spacer profile. The two parts A and B form the elongated body 1 of the straight connector; which has a
Bei dem in Fig. 1 und 2 gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel werden für jeden Teil A und B des Körpers 1 zwei Querrippen 3 verwendet, von denen sich die eine jeweils am Körperende befindet und die andere in der Mitte des betreffenden Teils. Der Körper 1 ist an seinen beiden Seiten, die im eingeschobenen Zustand des Geradverbinders mit den Profilinnenwänden in Berührung treten, deren Außenflächen die mit Abstand getrennten beiden Glasscheiben des Mehrscheibenisolierglases aufnehmen, mit Federkörpern 5 versehen, die bogenförmig nach außen gewölbte Materialstreifen bilden. welche sich in Längsrichtung des Körpers 1 erstrecken und an ihren Enden mit den Seitenkanten der Querrippen 3 untrennbar verbunden sind. Die beiden Teile A und B des Körpers 1 weisen zu beiden Seiten je zwei aufeinanderfolgende Federkörper 5 auf, deren Höhe, wie aus. Fig. 2 ersichtlich, wesentlich kleiner ist als die Höhe der Querrippen 3. Diese Federkörper 5 werden beim Hineinschieben des Geradverbinders in den Hohlraum des betreffenden Abstandsprofils elastisch nach innen in den Raum 9 hineingedrückt und dadurch elastisch verformt, wodurch sie mit den Innenwänden des Hohlprofils eine Reibschlußverbindung- herstetten, die bewirkt, daß der Geradverbinder im eingebauten Zustand festsitzt. Die Federungswirkung der Federkörper 5 hängt zweifellos nicht nur von der Stärke der Materialstreifen sowie von der Überbrückungslänge von Querrippe zu Querrippe ab, sondern auch von der Art des Materials, beispielsweise Kunststoff, aus dem der Geradverbinder beispielsweise im Spritzgußverfahren hergestellt wird.In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, two
Die beiden gleich langen Teile A und B des Körpers 1 sind durch einen gemeinsamen Mittelkörper 6 verbunden, der bei der in Fig. 1 und 2 gezeigten Ausführungsform von einer rund um seinen Umfang laufenden Rippe umgeben ist, welche als Anschlag 7 des Geradverbinders für die gegenüberliegenden Stirnseiten der Abstandsprofile dient, in die der Geradverbinder eingesteckt wird. Ein solcher Anschlag 7 erübrigt sich in den Fällen, in denen das Hineinschieben des einen Teils des Körpers 1 in das zugehörige Abstandsprofil so weit erfolgt, bis das Ende dieses Körperteils gegen eine Innenwand des Abstandsprofils stößt, wie dies beispielsweise dann der Fall sein kann, wenn es sich um ein rundgebogenes Abstandsprofil mit einem kurzen und einem langen Schenkel handelt, und der Geradverbinder in den kurzen Schenkel eingesteckt wird. Eine solche Ausführungsform des Geradverbinders ist in Fig. 3 in isometrischer Ansicht dargestellt.The two parts A and B of the body 1 of equal length are connected by a common center body 6, which in the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is surrounded by a rib running around its circumference, which acts as a
Wenn im letzteren Fall ein besonderer Anschlag 7, beispielsweise in Form einer umlaufenden Rippe in der Mitte des Körpers 1, nicht erforderlich ist, kommen die Stirnseiten der beiden durch den Geradverbinder zu verbindenden Abstandsprofile beim Zusammenbau der Profile und ihrer Verbindung in direkte Berührung, wodurch die Stabilität der Verbindungastelle möglicherweise noch vergrößert wird.If in the latter case a
Der beiden dargestellten Ausführungsformen eigene Mittelkörper 6 ist vor allem dann erfordertich, wenn zwischen den miteinander zu verbindenden Abstandsprofilen im Bereich der Verbindungsstelle ein Teil des Geradverbinders frei bleiben soll, um durch diesen Teil eine in den Scheibenzwischenraum führende Bohrung 8 hindurchzuführen, die zur Entlüftung bzw. Begasung des Scheibenzwischenraumes in an sich bekannter Weise dient und danach verschließbar ist. Der Verlauf einer solchen Bohrung ist in Fig. 2 gestrichelt angedeutet.The center body 6, which is separate from the two embodiments shown, is required above all if a part of the straight connector is to remain free between the spacing profiles to be connected in the area of the connection point, in order to lead through this part a bore 8 leading into the space between the panes, which is used for ventilation or Fumigation of the space between the panes serves in a manner known per se and can then be closed. The course of such a bore is indicated by dashed lines in FIG. 2.
Des weiteren ist die nicht dargestellte Möglichkeit gegeben, den Mittelteil 6 selbst als Anschlagkörper für die Stirnseiten der miteinander zu verbindenden Abstandsprofile auszubilden, indem dieser Mittelteil eine Querschnittsabmessung erhält, die noch über die Höhe der Federkörper 5 hinausragt. Außerdem kann das Hineinstecken des Geradverbinders in die Öffnung des Profilhohlraums dadurch erleichtert werden, daß sich der Geradverbinder an seinen Enden etwas verjüngt.Furthermore, there is the possibility, not shown, of designing the middle part 6 itself as a stop body for the end faces of the spacer profiles to be connected to one another, by giving this middle part a cross-sectional dimension which still projects beyond the height of the
