Definitions

  • the invention relates to a connection of the joint between the transom and the post on a supporting structure for or on a facade wall (and / or associated facade roof), consisting of the posts that preferably run from top to bottom and the bars that are inserted between them, preferably horizontally, wherein Cross-section of the mullion and transom considered a narrow, weather-side area and a wider, room-side area, as well as form fields for the insertion and holding of wall panels or glazing, with elongated plug-in parts are also provided, which are slidably guided in hollow chambers of the transom and a possibility of displacement of the plug part and bolt relative to one another is provided in the longitudinal direction of the hollow chamber, and the plug part protrudes in its holding position from the post-side end of the bolt and penetrates into recesses or bores in the post (preamble of claim 1) .
  • the term "facade wall” also means a corresponding facade roof. From the above it also follows that the "facade wall” can run both vertically and at an angle to the vertical.
  • Such a connection is known from DE 35 39 002 A1.
  • locking bolts are provided which, in the holding or connecting position of a post with two bolts, penetrate the narrow, weather-side region of the post and engage with their end regions in hollow chambers of the two adjoining bolts. This stop position is secured by a Seeger ring. However, the end of the transom lies against the relevant opposite side or surface of the wide, cross-section area of the mullion on the room side.
  • the transoms also rest on a support bolt that penetrates the wide, area-side post area and protrudes on both sides.
  • the latches are placed on these support bolts by means of support openings that are accessible from the weather side of the latch.
  • the assembly of such an arrangement on the construction site is difficult and requires several operators. Since the locking bolt can only be located in an elongated recess of the narrow, weather-side cross-sectional area of the one bolt before the assembly begins, this bolt and the bolt to be mounted on the opposite side of the post must each be held by an operator so that the elongated recesses for the locking bolt are at the same height as the hole in the narrow, weather-side post area.
  • the fastening of the bolts by means of the locking bolt on the narrow, weather-side post region also disadvantageously requires that the distance between the two glass panes, which abut the relevant bolt region from below and from above, is at least equal to the diameter of the locking bolt, plus the thickness of the walls of the bolt Riegel must be. This is annoying if you want to achieve a glass front that is as continuous as possible on the weather side.
  • the suspension of the bolts on the support bolt provided with the object of DE 35 39 002 A1 with the aid of an insertion slot means that the respective bolt must be inserted from the room side between the two posts with which it is then to be connected.

  • This drainage and, if necessary, holding part can be fixed to the bolt by means of a pin passing through it, that is to say secured against longitudinal displacement relative to the bolt. Disadvantageously, there is no securing of the position of the locking element relative to the post.
  • the socket pin formed there as a tube end only penetrates the adjacent wall of the post.
  • the object of the invention in contrast, is to provide an easy-to-use and inexpensive, yet secure connection of the transom and mullion when connecting the joint to the supporting skeletons and at the same time maintain the advantage that length deviations or changes in the Bars should be balanced without endangering the aforementioned connection.

Abstract

The invention is based on a butt joint junction between the crossbar (2) and column (1) of a supporting structure of or for a façade wall (and/or related façade roof), comprising the columns which preferably run from top to bottom and the crossbars placed between them, preferably running horizontally, the columns and crossbars together forming areas for placing and holding wall fillings or windows, in which arrangement furthermore elongated insert parts in the form of connection elements (3) with insert pins (4) are provided, the connection elements slide in hollow chambers (5) in the crossbars and it is possible to displace the connection element and the crossbar relative to one another in the lengthwise direction of the hollow chamber, and the insert pin (4) extends in its fixed position beyond the end of the connection element on the column side and penetrates into the column. In order to create an easily manageable but secure connection between the crossbar and the column, intended to compensate for changes in length of the crossbars, it is provided that the insert pin (4) in the fixed position penetrates recesses or drilled holes (7, 8) of two column walls (6, 9) located behind one another and apart from one another in the direction of displacement, and that a releasable resilient device (14) to lock the insert pin to the column (1b) is provided. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Verbindung des Stoßes zwischen Riegel und Pfosten an einem Traggerippe für eine oder an einer Fassadenwand (und/oder zugehöriges Fassadendach), bestehend aus den bevorzugt von oben nach unten verlaufenden Pfosten und den zwischen diesen eingesetzten, bevorzugt waagerecht verlaufenden Riegeln, wobei Pfosten und Riegel im Querschnitt betrachtet einen schmalen, witterungsseitigen Bereich und einen demgegenüber breiteren, raumseitigen Bereich aufweisen, sowie miteinander Felder für das Einsetzen und Halten von Wandfüllungen oder Verglasungen bilden, wobei ferner langgestreckte Steckteile vorgesehen sind, die in Hohlkammern der Riegel gleitend geführt sind und eine Verschiebemöglichkeit von Steckteil und Riegel relativ zueinander in der Hohlkammerlängsrichtung vorgesehen ist, und wobei der Steckteil in seiner Haltelage von dem pfostenseitigen Ende des Riegels vorragt und in Ausnehmungen oder Bohrungen des Pfostens eindringt (Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1). Dabei wird, wie angegeben, unter dem Begriff "Fassadenwand" auch ein entsprechendes Fassadendach verstanden. Aus vorstehendem ergibt sich ferner, daß die "Fassadenwand" sowohl senkrecht verlaufen kann, als auch in einem Winkel zur Senkrechten. Eine solche Verbindung ist aus DE 35 39 002 A1 bekannt. Dabei sind Arretierbolzen vorgesehen, welche in der Halte- bzw. Verbindungslage eines Pfostens mit zwei Riegeln den schmalen, witterungsseitigen Bereich des Pfostens durchdringen und mit ihren Endbereichen in Hohlkammern der beiden anstoßenden Riegel eingreifen. Diese Haltelage wird durch einen Seeger-Ring gesichert. Die Riegel liegen mit ihrer Stirnseite aber an der betreffenden Gegenseite oder -fläche des breiten, raumseitigen Pfostenquerschnittsbereiches an. Die Riegel liegen ferner dabei auf einem Auflagerbolzen auf, der den breiten, raumseitigen Pfostenbereich durchdringt und beidseitig vorsteht. Die Auflage der Riegel auf diesen Auflagerbolzen erfolgt mittels Auflageröffnungen, die von der Witterungsseite des Riegels her zugängig sind. Nachteiligerweise ist die Montage einer solchen Anordnung auf der Baustelle schwierig und verlangt mehrere Bedienungspersonen. Da sich vor Beginn der Montage der Arretierbolzen nur in einer länglichen Ausnehmung des schmalen, witterungsseitigen Querschnittsbereiches des einen Riegels befinden kann, müssen zunächst dieser Riegel und der auf der Gegenseite des Pfostens zu montierende Riegel jeweils von einer Bedienungsperson so gehalten werden, daß die länglichen Ausnehmungen für den Arretierbolzen sich in gleicher Höhe mit der Bohrung des schmalen, witterungsseitigen Pfostenbereiches befinden. Diese Handhabung wird noch dadurch zusätzlich erschwert, daß aus den vorgenannten Gründen die Stirnseiten der schmalen, witterungsseitigen Riegelbereiche von der gegenüberliegenden Fläche des schmalen, witterungsseitigen Pfostenbereiches jeweils einen Abstand haben, der sich aus dem Unterschied der Dicke des schmalen, witterungsseitigen Pfostenbereiches zur Dicke des breiten, raumseitigen Pfostenbereiches ergibt. Anschließend ist dann der Arretierbolzen aus dem ihm bisher aufnehmenden Riegel durch die Bohrung des schmalen, witterungsseitigen Bereiches des Pfostens hindurch in die Ausnehmung des anderen Riegels zu schieben, sowie anschließend durch den Seeger-Ring zu arretieren. Dies erfordert zumindest zwei Arbeitskräfte, möglicherweise auch noch eine dritte Arbeitskraft für die Verschiebung des Arretierbolzens. Die Befestigung der Riegel mittels des Arretierbolzens am schmalen, witterungsseitigen Pfostenbereich bedingt ferner nachteiligerweise, daß der Abstand der beiden Glasscheiben, die von unten und von oben her an den betreffenden Riegelbereich anstoßen zumindest gleich dem Durchmesser des Arretierbolzens, zuzüglich der Dicke der ihn tragenden Wände des Riegels sein muß. Dies ist störend, falls man architektonisch auf der Witterungsseite eine möglichst durchgehende Glasfront erzielen will. Die bei dem Gegenstand von DE 35 39 002 A1 vorgesehene Aufhängung der Riegel auf dem Auflagerbolzen mit Hilfe eines Einschubschlitzes bedingt, daß der jeweilige Riegel von der Raumseite her zwischen die beiden Pfosten eingeschoben werden muß, mit denen er anschließend zu verbinden ist. Oft steht aber raumseitig kein Platz für ein solches Einbringen und auch Herausnehmen des Riegels in die, bzw. aus der Aufhängelage auf dem Auflagerbolzen zur Verfügung. Beispielsweise kann bauseitig sich hinter dem Riegel eine Geschoßdecke, ein Heizkörper oder dergleichen störendes Bauteil befinden. Erwähnt sei, daß der Riegel auch nach einer Aufhängung auf den Auflagerbolzen für das vorstehend beschriebene Einbringen der Arretierbolzen um diese Hängelage herum in die Position verschwenkt und gehalten werden muß, in der seine, den Arretierbolzen tragende bzw. aufnehmende Ausnehmung mit der zugehörigen Bohrung im schmalen Pfostenbereich fluchtet. Die vorstehend erläuterte Konstruktion von DE 35 39 002 A1 bedingt, daß Pfosten und Riegel unterschiedliche Querschnittsformen haben müssen. Hieraus ergibt sich für die Praxis der Nachteil, daß sowohl Pfostenprofile als auch Riegelprofile auf Lager gehalten werden müssen. Dies gilt auch für die nachfolgend erläuterten vorbekannten Literaturstellen.The invention relates to a connection of the joint between the transom and the post on a supporting structure for or on a facade wall (and / or associated facade roof), consisting of the posts that preferably run from top to bottom and the bars that are inserted between them, preferably horizontally, wherein Cross-section of the mullion and transom considered a narrow, weather-side area and a wider, room-side area, as well as form fields for the insertion and holding of wall panels or glazing, with elongated plug-in parts are also provided, which are slidably guided in hollow chambers of the transom and a possibility of displacement of the plug part and bolt relative to one another is provided in the longitudinal direction of the hollow chamber, and the plug part protrudes in its holding position from the post-side end of the bolt and penetrates into recesses or bores in the post (preamble of claim 1) . As indicated, the term "facade wall" also means a corresponding facade roof. From the above it also follows that the "facade wall" can run both vertically and at an angle to the vertical. Such a connection is known from DE 35 39 002 A1. In this case, locking bolts are provided which, in the holding or connecting position of a post with two bolts, penetrate the narrow, weather-side region of the post and engage with their end regions in hollow chambers of the two adjoining bolts. This stop position is secured by a Seeger ring. However, the end of the transom lies against the relevant opposite side or surface of the wide, cross-section area of the mullion on the room side. The transoms also rest on a support bolt that penetrates the wide, area-side post area and protrudes on both sides. The latches are placed on these support bolts by means of support openings that are accessible from the weather side of the latch. Disadvantageously, the assembly of such an arrangement on the construction site is difficult and requires several operators. Since the locking bolt can only be located in an elongated recess of the narrow, weather-side cross-sectional area of the one bolt before the assembly begins, this bolt and the bolt to be mounted on the opposite side of the post must each be held by an operator so that the elongated recesses for the locking bolt are at the same height as the hole in the narrow, weather-side post area. This handling is further complicated by the fact that, for the aforementioned reasons, the end faces of the narrow, weather-side transom areas have a distance from the opposite surface of the narrow, weather-side post area, which is due to the difference in the thickness of the narrow, weather-side post area from the thickness of the wide one , room side post area results. Subsequently, the locking bolt is then pushed out of the bolt that previously received it through the bore of the narrow, weather-side area of the post into the recess of the other bolt, and then locked by the Seeger ring. This requires at least two workers, possibly also a third worker for the displacement of the locking bolt. The fastening of the bolts by means of the locking bolt on the narrow, weather-side post region also disadvantageously requires that the distance between the two glass panes, which abut the relevant bolt region from below and from above, is at least equal to the diameter of the locking bolt, plus the thickness of the walls of the bolt Riegel must be. This is annoying if you want to achieve a glass front that is as continuous as possible on the weather side. The suspension of the bolts on the support bolt provided with the object of DE 35 39 002 A1 with the aid of an insertion slot means that the respective bolt must be inserted from the room side between the two posts with which it is then to be connected. Often, however, there is no space on the room side for such insertion and removal of the bolt into or out of the hanging position on the support bolt. For example, a floor ceiling, a radiator or the like can be a disruptive component on site. It should be mentioned that the bolt must be pivoted and held in this position even after being suspended on the support bolt for the above-described insertion of the locking bolts around this hanging position, in which its recess carrying or receiving the locking bolt with the associated bore in the narrow Post area is aligned. The construction of DE 35 39 002 A1 explained above means that the mullion and transom must have different cross-sectional shapes. In practice, this has the disadvantage that both mullion profiles and transom profiles must be kept in stock. This also applies to the previously known literature references explained below.

Aus DE 37 41 043 A1 kennt man für die Verbindung der Riegel mit den Pfosten ein Verbindungselement, das als röhrchenförmiges Entwässerungsteil ausgebildet und vorgesehen, das normalerweise aus Kunststoff besteht. Dazu wird angegeben, daß dieses Röhrchen auch eine Tragfunktion übernehmen kann und hierzu bevorzugt aus Metall bestehen soll. Dieser Entwässerungs- und gegebenenfalls Halteteil kann mittels eines den Riegel durchsetzenden Stiftes an diesem festgelegt, d.h. gegen ein Längsverschieben zum Riegel gesichert werden. Nachteiligerweise ist hierbei keine Sicherung der Lage des Verriegelungselementes zum Pfosten gegeben. Als weiterer Nachteil kommt hinzu, daß der dort als Röhrchenende ausgebildete Steckbolzen nur die angrenzende Wand des Pfostens durchsetzt. Beim Zusammentreffen ungünstiger Verhältnisse, nämlich entsprechenden Fertigungstoleranzen und niedrigen, die Riegellänge verringernden Temperaturen, kann sich die Steckverbindung zwischen Riegel und Pfosten lösen. Auf jeden Fall ist diese Steckverbindung nicht stabil genug und, wie erläutert, darüber hinaus ungesichert. Damit entsteht bereits bei geringen Füllungsgewichten ein hoher Lochlaibungsdruck in der Pfostenbohrung, so daß nur geringe Füllungsgewichte zugelassen werden können. Auch zeigt DE 37 41 043 A1 nicht die Querschnittsausbildungen von Pfosten und Riegel mit einem schmalen, witterungsseitigen und einem demgegenüber breiteren, raumseitigen Bereich. Es werden spezielle Pfosten und spezielle Riegel benötigt.From DE 37 41 043 A1 a connection element is known for the connection of the transom to the post, which is designed and provided as a tubular drainage part, which normally consists of plastic. It is stated that this tube can also take on a supporting function and should preferably consist of metal. This drainage and, if necessary, holding part can be fixed to the bolt by means of a pin passing through it, that is to say secured against longitudinal displacement relative to the bolt. Disadvantageously, there is no securing of the position of the locking element relative to the post. Another disadvantage is that the socket pin formed there as a tube end only penetrates the adjacent wall of the post. When unfavorable conditions come together, namely corresponding manufacturing tolerances and low temperatures that reduce the length of the transom, the plug connection between transom and post can come loose. In any case, this connector is not stable enough and, as explained, is also unsecured. This results in a high perforation reveal pressure in the post bore even with low filling weights, so that only low filling weights can be permitted. Also, DE 37 41 043 A1 does not show the cross-sectional configurations of mullions and transoms with a narrow area on the weather side and a wider area on the room side. Special posts and special transoms are required.

Ferner kennt man Verbindungen des Stoßes zwischen Riegel und Pfosten an derartigen Traggerippen, die ebenfalls nicht den vorstehend angegebenen Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1 erfüllen, so zeigt DE 25 23 244 A1 eine Stoßverbindung mittels Schrauben, die die Riegel durchsetzend in deren Längsrichtung in den angrenzenden Pfosten eingeschraubt werden. Dies ist in der Handhabung umständlich und bedingt eine Konstruktion der Riegel derart, daß in der vorgenannten Weise eine solche Verschraubung auf der Baustelle auch von einem Monteur durchführbar ist. Bei einer Ausführung nach DE 3419104 A1 sind lediglich Verbindungsstifte vorgesehen, welche den schmalen witterungsseitigen Profilteil des Pfostens durchdringen. Für die Stoßverbindungen selber sind in den Pfosten jeweils U-förmige Ausnehmungen (sogenannte Ausklinkungen) vorzunehmen und die Riegel sind mit gesonderten Dichtmanschetten zu versehen, welche in diese Ausnehmungen eingesetzt werden. Das Herstellen solcher Ausklinkungen erfordert erhebliche, zusätzliche Arbeiten. Außerdem schwächen diese Ausklinkungen den Querschnitt der Pfosten (Verringerung des Widerstandsmomentes). Auch hier sind nur geringe Füllungsgewichte möglich, da sich die Riegelprofile sonst in den weichen Gummimanschetten verdrehen.Furthermore, there are known connections of the joint between the transom and the post on such supporting ribs, which also do not meet the preamble of claim 1, DE 25 23 244 A1 shows a butt connection by means of screws which penetrate the transversal bar in the longitudinal direction into the adjacent post become. This is cumbersome to handle and requires the bolts to be constructed in such a way that such a screw connection on the construction site can also be carried out by a mechanic. In an embodiment according to DE 3419104 A1, only connecting pins are provided which penetrate the narrow weather-side profile part of the post. For the butt joints themselves, U-shaped recesses (so-called notches) are to be made in the posts and the bolts are to be provided with separate sealing sleeves, which are inserted into these recesses will. The production of such notches requires considerable additional work. In addition, these notches weaken the cross-section of the posts (reduction of the section modulus). Here too, only small filling weights are possible, since otherwise the transom profiles will twist in the soft rubber sleeves.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht demgegenüber darin, bei einer Verbindung des Stoßes an Traggerippen gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1 für eine leicht zu handhabende und kostengünstige, dabei sichere Verbindung von Riegel und Pfosten zu sorgen und zugleich den Vorteil beizubehalten, wonach Längenabweichungen oder -änderungen der Riegel ohne Gefährdung der vorgenannten Verbindung ausgeglichen werden sollen.The object of the invention, in contrast, is to provide an easy-to-use and inexpensive, yet secure connection of the transom and mullion when connecting the joint to the supporting skeletons and at the same time maintain the advantage that length deviations or changes in the Bars should be balanced without endangering the aforementioned connection.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist zunächst, ausgehend vom eingangs zitierten Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1 vorgesehen, daß der breitere, raumseitige Pfostenbereich an jeder der Seiten, die einem Riegel zugewendet sind, ein Paar in der Verschieberichtung der Steckteile mit Abstand hintereinander liegende und mit den Ausnehmungen oder Bohrungen versehene Pfostenwände aufweist, daß als Steckteile Verbindungselemente mit je einem Steckbolzen vorgesehen sind, daß die in die Ausnehmungen oder Bohrungen passenden Steckbolzen eine solche Länge haben, daß in der Haltelage jeder Steckbolzen nur das ihm zugewandte Paar von Pfostenwänden durchsetzt und daß eine lösbare federnde Verriegelung jedes Steckbolzens am Pfosten vorgesehen ist (Kennzeichen des Anspruches 1). Hiermit kann jeder Riegel für sich aus jeder beliebigen Richtung her in den Bereich zwischen zwei Pfosten eingesetzt werden, wobei die Stirnseiten des Riegels an der zugehörigen Seite des breiten Pfostenbereiches anliegen. Danach sind die Verbindungselemente mit Steckbolzen soweit zu verschieben, daß der betreffende Steckbolzen die Ausnehmungen oder Bohrungen des ihm zugewandten Pfostenwandpaares durchsetzt. Diese Arbeit kann von einer einzigen Bedienungsperson vorgenommen werden, und zwar zunächst am einen Stirnende und danach am anderen Stirnende des betreffenden Riegels. Danach kann man an einen Pfosten, der an einer Seite bereits mit einem Riegel, wie erläutert, verbunden ist, an seiner anderen Seite mit einem weiteren Riegel verbunden werden, dessen Steckbolzen in die Ausnehmungen oder Bohrungen des ihm zugewandten Wandpaares des gleichen Pfostens einbringbar sind. Da gemäß der bevorzugten Ausführung des Anspruches 3 jeder Riegel an jeder Pfostenseite mit zwei Steckbolzen in entsprechende Ausnehmungen oder Bohrungen des zugehörigen Pfostenwandpaares einsteckbar ist, kann hiermit eine Sicherung des betreffenden Riegels gegen ein Verdrehen oder Verschwenken um seine Längsachse erfolgen. Außerdem ist damit eine doppelte Sicherung und eine Verdoppelung der Aufnahme der Traglast gegeben. Ein gesonderter Auflagerbolzen kann gemäß Anspruch 19 vorgesehen sein, wird aber im Gegensatz zu DE 35 39 002 A1 nicht für den sicheren Halt des Riegels unbedingt benötigt. Auch die weiteren im Zusammenhang mit dem Gegenstand von DE 35 39 002 A1 beschriebenen Nachteile sind vermieden. Insbesondere ergibt sich eine Montageerleichterung dadurch, daß die Riegel von jeder Seite, d.h. auch von unten her in die jeweilige Verbindungslage zu den sie seitlich begrenzten Pfosten gebracht werden können. Nach dem Einschieben der Steckbolzen in die Pfostenwandpaare werden die Steckbolzen durch die lösbare, federnde Verriegelung eindeutig und nicht mehr verrückbar an dem betreffenden Teil des Pfostens gehalten. Bei einer ersten Ausführungsform der Erfindung mit in sich einstückigen, bereits aufgestellten Pfosten bleibt dann für den späteren Betrieb die Gleitbarkeit des oder derVerbindungselemente(s) im Riegel erhalten, womit Längenänderungen der Riegel aufgrund von Temperaturschwankungen oder auch etwaige Fertigungstoleranzen an den Stoßstellen zwischen Riegel und Pfosten ausgeglichen werden.To solve this problem, it is first provided, starting from the preamble of claim 1, that the wider, room-side post area on each of the sides facing a bolt, a pair in the direction of displacement of the plug-in parts, one behind the other and with the recesses or Bore provided post walls that connecting elements are provided with a plug pin each, that the plug pins fitting into the recesses or bores have such a length that in the holding position of each plug pin only the pair of post walls facing it passes through and that a releasable resilient lock each plug pin is provided on the post (characterizing part of claim 1). With this, each transom can be inserted into the area between two posts from any direction, the end faces of the transom lying against the associated side of the wide post area. Then the connecting elements with plug pins are to be moved so far that the plug pin in question passes through the recesses or bores of the pair of post walls facing it. This work can be done by a single operator, first at one end and then at the other end of the relevant bar. Then you can be connected to a post that is already connected on one side with a bolt, as explained, on the other side with another bolt, the plug pins of which can be inserted into the recesses or bores of the wall pair of the same post facing it. Since, according to the preferred embodiment of claim 3, each transom can be inserted into the corresponding recesses or bores of the associated pair of post walls on each post side with two socket pins, the transom in question can be secured against rotation or pivoting about its longitudinal axis. This also ensures double securing and a doubling of the load capacity. A separate support pin can be provided according to claim 19, but in contrast to DE 35 39 002 A1 it is not absolutely necessary for the secure hold of the bolt. The other disadvantages described in connection with the subject of DE 35 39 002 A1 are also avoided. In particular, assembly is facilitated by the bars being able to be brought into the respective connection position from each side, that is to say also from below, to the posts which are laterally delimited. After the plug pins have been inserted into the pairs of post walls, the releasable, resilient locking means that the plug pins are held clearly and no longer displaceably on the part of the post concerned. In a first embodiment of the invention with integral, already erected posts, the slidability of the connecting element (s) in the transom is then retained for later operation, which changes in length of the transoms due to temperature fluctuations or any manufacturing tolerances at the joints between transoms and posts be balanced.

Die Erfindung ist aber ferner auch bei einer Ausführung zu verwirklichen, bei welcher die Pfosten in zwei Längshälften geteilt sind und der Ausgleich von Längenänderungen aufgrund Temperaturschwankungen oder Fertigungstoleranzen durch Änderungen des Abstandes zwischen diesen beiden Pfostenhälften erfolgt. In diesem Fall wird eine weitere feste Verbindung zwischen Verbindungselement und Riegel geschaffen.However, the invention can also be implemented in an embodiment in which the posts are divided into two longitudinal halves and the compensation for changes in length due to temperature fluctuations or manufacturing tolerances Changes in the distance between these two post halves are made. In this case, a further fixed connection between the connecting element and the bolt is created.

Wichtig für die Stabilität eines solchen, sich über eine ganze Hauswand erstreckenden Traggerippes ist, daß die Steckbolzen zwei Wände des entsprechenden Pfostenteiles durchsetzen und ferner durch die lösbare, federnde Verriegelung auch in dieser Stecklage gehalten werden. Hierdurch wird eine sehr stabile Verbindung zwischen Riegel und Pfosten und damit eine wünschenswerte Versteifung des gesamten Traggerippes erreicht, ohne aber den erläuterten Längenausgleich dadurch zu gefährden. Außerdem werden weitere Vorteile erreicht. Sowohl Riegel als auch Pfosten können glatt, d.h. ohne Ausklinkungen Fräsungen zugeschnitten werden. Die Fixierung der Verbindungselemente an den Pfosten ist ohne Schraubverbindung möglich. Hierzu genügt ein einfaches Einstecken bzw. Herausziehen (für das Lösen) der federnden Verriegelung. Wie die weiteren Ausführungen zeigen, können mit der Erfindung die Lasten der Füllelemente (Verglasung oder Vertäfelung) sicher von den Riegeln über die Verbindungselemente auf die Pfosten übertragen werden.It is important for the stability of such a support structure extending over an entire house wall that the plug pins pass through two walls of the corresponding post part and are also held in this plug position by the releasable, resilient locking. As a result, a very stable connection between the transom and the post and thus a desirable stiffening of the entire supporting structure is achieved, but without jeopardizing the length compensation described. In addition, other advantages are achieved. Both transoms and posts can be smooth, i.e. millings can be cut without notches. The connection elements can be fixed to the post without a screw connection. All you need to do is simply insert or pull out (for releasing) the resilient lock. As the further explanations show, the loads of the filling elements (glazing or paneling) can be transferred safely from the transoms via the connecting elements to the posts with the invention.

Eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform ist Gegenstand des Anspruches 4, welche den Hohlkammern eine Doppelfunktion gibt, nämlich zusätzlich zu der bereits erläuterten Funktion der gleitenden Aufnahme der Verbindungselemente noch die Funktion der Schaffung von Dichtungshaltenuten für die Dichtung. Außerdem kann der freie Spalt zwischen den Dichtungshaltenuten dazu dienen, ein Werkzeug zum Verschieben der Verbindungselemente entlang der Hohlkammer einzuführen.A preferred embodiment is the subject of claim 4, which gives the hollow chambers a double function, namely in addition to the already explained function of the sliding reception of the connecting elements, the function of creating seal retaining grooves for the seal. In addition, the free gap between the sealing retaining grooves can serve to insert a tool for moving the connecting elements along the hollow chamber.

Die Ansprüche 5 und 6 beinhalten bevorzugte Ausführungsformen der vorstehend erwähnten beiden Alternativen zum Auffangen der Längenänderungen der Riegel aufgrund von Temperaturschwankungen oder Toleranzen, wobei in der Variante gemäß Anspruch 5 diese Längenänderungen zwischen Riegel und Pfosten durch die Verschieblichkeit des Verbindungselementes zum Riegel und in der Variante gemäß Anspruch 6 zwischen zwei Pfostenhälften durch die Verschieblichkeit dieser beiden Pfostenhälften zueinander aufgefangen bzw. ausgeglichen werden.Claims 5 and 6 contain preferred embodiments of the above-mentioned two alternatives for catching the changes in length of the transoms due to temperature fluctuations or tolerances, wherein in the variant according to claim 5 these changes in length between transoms and posts due to the displaceability of the connecting element to the transom and in the variant according to claim 6 between two post halves by the displacement of these two post halves to each other can be compensated or compensated.

Die Merkmale der Ansprüche 10 bis 13 befassen sich mit der Ausgestaltung der Verbindungselemente. Anspruch 10 ergibt den Vorteil, daß mit dem Einstecken der Steckbolzen der Verbindungselemente in die Ausnehmungen oder Bohrungen des Pfostens die sich an den Steckbolzen anschließende Stirnfläche des Verbindungselementes einen Anschlag an der zugehörigen Seitenwand des breiten Pfostenbereiches bildet. Die Merkmale des Anspruches 11 erlauben zwar ein Gleiten der Verbindungselemente in den Hohlkammern, wobei aber kein bei der Montage und den Betrieb störendes Spiel zwischen Verbindungselementen und Hohlkammerwandungen besteht. Die Merkmale der Ansprüche 12 und 13 dienen der vorgenannten Führung und ermöglichen eine bessere Übertragung der durch die Last der Glasscheiben oder Täfelungen entstehenden Druckkräfte. Außerdem sind die Verbindungselemente und die mit ihnen eine Einheit bildenden Steckbolzen mit einer solchen Ausgestaltung gegen ein unbeabsichtigtes Verdrehen um ihre Längsachse relativ zum Riegel gesichert. Dies erleichtert auch das Einbringen der elastischen Streifen in die Vertiefungen der Steckbolzen gemäß Anspruch 15.The features of claims 10 to 13 deal with the design of the connecting elements. Claim 10 gives the advantage that with the insertion of the plug pins of the connecting elements into the recesses or bores of the post, the end face of the connecting element adjoining the plug pins forms a stop on the associated side wall of the wide post area. The features of claim 11 allow the connecting elements to slide in the hollow chambers, but there is no play between the connecting elements and the hollow chamber walls which is disruptive during assembly and operation. The features of claims 12 and 13 serve the aforementioned guidance and enable a better transmission of the pressure forces resulting from the load of the glass panes or paneling. In addition, the connecting elements and the plug bolts forming a unit with them are secured with such a configuration against unintentional rotation about their longitudinal axis relative to the bolt. This also facilitates the introduction of the elastic strips into the recesses of the plug pins.

Die Merkmale des Anspruches 14 geben der lösbaren, federnden Verriegelung eine besonders geeignete Position, nämlich innerhalb der vom Steckbolzen durchsetzten Nut, d.h. zwischen den beiden Wänden, in denen der Steckbolzen des Verbindungselementes gelagert ist. Hiermit ist die lösbare Federung gegen ein unbeabsichtigtes Anstoßen von außen, z.B. bei Montagearbeiten, geschützt.The features of claim 14 give the releasable, resilient locking a particularly suitable position, namely within the groove penetrated by the plug pin, i.e. between the two walls in which the plug pin of the connecting element is mounted. This is the detachable suspension against unintentional bumping from the outside, e.g. during assembly work, protected.

Anspruch 19 sieht eine zusätzliche Möglichkeit in Form eines Tragbolzens für die Lagerung der Riegel und die Aufnahme von durch die Glasscheibe oder Täfelungen entstehenden Gewichte bzw. Druckkräfte vor. Dieser Tragbolzen befindet sich zunächst in einem der Riegel und wird erst nach Montage beider einander gegenüberliegender Riegel in die Haltelage geschoben. Eine Verriegelung mittels eines Seeger-Ringes ist nicht nötig.Claim 19 provides an additional possibility in the form of a supporting bolt for the mounting of the bolts and the absorption of weights or pressure forces arising through the glass pane or paneling. This support bolt is initially in one of the latches and is only pushed into the holding position after assembly of the two opposite latches. Locking with a Seeger ring is not necessary.

Eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist Gegenstand des Anspruches 20. Somit sind die gleichen Querschnittsabschnitte entweder die Hohlkammern der Riegel für die Aufnahme der Verbindungselemente oder die Nuten, in welche in der Haltelage die Steckbolzen eingesteckt und federnd verriegelt sind. Die Dichtungshaltenuten, die gemäß Anspruch 4 witterungsseitig an den Hohlkammern der Riegel vorgesehen sind, sind somit auch bei Einsatz des Profiles als Pfosten hieran durch diese gleiche Querschnittsform gegeben. Für die rahmenartig umlaufende Dichtung eines gesamten Feldes sind damit sowohl an zwei Riegeln, als auch an zwei Pfosten dieselben Aufnahmen bzw. Halterungen vorhanden.A preferred embodiment of the invention is the subject of claim 20. Thus, the same cross-sectional sections are either the hollow chambers of the bolts for receiving the connecting elements or the grooves, in which the plug pins are inserted and locked in the holding position. The sealing retaining grooves, which are provided on the weather side of the hollow chambers of the transoms, are thus given this same cross-sectional shape even when using the profile as a post thereon. For the frame-like circumferential sealing of an entire field, the same receptacles or brackets are therefore available on both transoms and on two posts.

Fig. 1 zeigt nur die für das Verständnis der Erfindung unbedingt notwendigen Teile eines solchen Traggerippes. Hinsichtlich weiterer Einzelheiten eines solchen Traggerippe wird auf die am gleichen Tage wie die vorliegende Anmeldung beim Europäischen Patentamt eingereichte Patentanmeldung "Traggerippe für eine oder an einer Fassadenwand" der gleichen Anmelderin verwiesen.Fig. 1 shows only those parts of such a supporting structure which are absolutely necessary for understanding the invention. With regard to further details of such a supporting structure, reference is made to the patent application "supporting structure for or on a facade wall" filed by the same applicant on the same day as the present application with the European Patent Office.

Fig. 1 zeigt lediglich einen Pfosten 1 eines solchen Traggerippes mit einem schmalen, witterungsseitigen Bereich 1a und einem demgegenüber breiteren raumseitigen Bereich 1b. Die Pfosten 1 können senkrecht oder in einem Winkel zur Vertikalen stehen. Sie miteinander verbindende Riegel 2 verlaufen bevorzugt waagerecht. Sie bestehen ebenfalls aus einem schmalen witterungsseitigen Bereich 2a und einem raumseitigen bzw. warmseitigen breiteren Bereich 2b. Die Zeichnungen, insbesondere Fig. 1, zeigen, daß die Querschnitte der Profile von Pfosten 1 und Riegel 2 zumindest im schmalen witterungsseitigen Bereich und ferner in den Abschnitten gleich sind, in dem sich die Nuten 10 bzw. Hohlkammern 5 befinden. Hiermit erfüllen die vorgenannten Abschnitte wahlweise alle der genannten Funktionen. Ferner können die Querschnitte der Pfosten und Riegel auch insgesamt, d.h. einschließlich ihrer gesamten breiteren, raumseitigen Bereiche einander gleich sein (in der Zeichnung nicht dargestellt). Damit können Pfosten und Riegel aus dem gleichen Profil hergestellt werden.1 only shows a post 1 of such a support structure with a narrow, weather-side area 1a and a wider area-side area 1b. The posts 1 can be vertical or at an angle to the vertical. They connecting bars 2 run preferably horizontal. They also consist of a narrow weather-side area 2a and a room-side or warm-side wider area 2b. The drawings, in particular Fig. 1, show that the cross sections of the profiles of post 1 and transom 2 are the same at least in the narrow weather-side area and also in the sections in which the grooves 10 or hollow chambers 5 are located. With this, the aforementioned sections optionally fulfill all of the functions mentioned. Furthermore, the cross-sections of the mullions and transoms can also be the same overall, that is to say including their entire wider areas on the room side (not shown in the drawing). This allows mullions and transoms to be made from the same profile.

In der Regel werden zunächst die Pfosten montiert und danach die Riegel dazwischen eingesetzt und an ihren Stirnseiten mit den Pfosten verbunden. Hiermit werden Felder für das Einsetzen und Halten von Wandfüllungen oder Verglasungen gebildet. Da derartige Fassaden sich im Freien befinden, sind sie erheblichen Temperaturschwankungen ausgesetzt, welche eine entsprechende Verlängerung oder Verkürzung der Riegel zur Folge haben. Diese Längenänderungen müssen ausgeglichen werden, ohne daß hierdurch die stabile Verbindung zwischen Riegel und Pfosten leidet.As a rule, the posts are first installed and then the transoms are inserted between them and connected to the posts at their end faces. This creates fields for inserting and holding wall panels or glazing. Since such facades are outdoors, they are exposed to considerable temperature fluctuations, which result in a corresponding lengthening or shortening of the bars. These changes in length must be compensated for without the stable connection between the transom and the post suffering.

Hierzu dienen Verbindungselemente 3, die an einer Stirnseite mit einem Steckbolzen 4 versehen sind. Die Verbindungselemente 3 werden in Hohlkammern 5, welche sich über die gesamte Länge der breiten Riegelbereiche 2b erstrecken, von der Stirnseite der Riegel her eingesteckt. Ihre Querschnittsform ist der der Hohlkammern 5 so angepaßt, daß zwischen den Verbindungselementen 3 und der Hohlkammer 5 ein Gleitsitz besteht. Aus Gründen der zeichnerischen Vereinfachung ist von den beiden Verbindungselementen 3, die sich in den beiden Hohlkammern 5 befinden, nur das Verbindungselement 3 in der oberen Hohlkammer eingezeichnet. In der Position der Verbindungselemente 3 zum Riegel 2, 2b gemäß Fig. 1 ragen die Stirnbolzen 4 an der der Pfostenseitenwand 6 zugewandten Stirnseite vor. Sie sind so lang, daß sie die beiden Bohrungen 7, 8 von Wänden der Pfosten, hier der Pfostenseitenwand 6 und der Seitenwand 9 einer Längsnut 10 durchdringen. Hierzu sei bemerkt, daß die Verschiebung der Verbindungselemente dadurch erfolgen kann, daß mit einem Werkzeug oder auch evtl. von Hand durch die schlitzartige Öffnung 11 der Hohlkammern hindurch gegriffen und das Verbindungselement verschoben wird.For this purpose, connecting elements 3 are used, which are provided on one end face with a plug pin 4. The connecting elements 3 are inserted into hollow chambers 5, which extend over the entire length of the wide locking areas 2b, from the front side of the locking bars. Their cross-sectional shape is adapted to that of the hollow chambers 5 so that there is a sliding fit between the connecting elements 3 and the hollow chamber 5. For the sake of simplifying the drawing, of the two connecting elements 3 located in the two hollow chambers 5, only the connecting element 3 is shown in the upper hollow chamber. In the position of the connecting elements 3 to the latch 2, 2b according to FIG. 1, the end bolts 4 protrude on the end side facing the post side wall 6. They are so long that they penetrate the two bores 7, 8 of walls of the posts, here the post side wall 6 and the side wall 9 of a longitudinal groove 10. In this regard, it should be noted that the connection elements can be displaced by gripping with a tool or possibly by hand through the slot-like opening 11 of the hollow chambers and displacing the connection element.

Bei der Montage wird so vorgegangen, daß zunächst der Riegel 2 quer zu seiner Längsrichtung mit bereits in ihn stirnseitig eingeschobenen Verbindungselementen 3 und eingeschobenen Steckbolzen 4 zwischen die betreffenden Pfosten eingesetzt und dann durch die zwischen den Dichtungshaltenuten bestehende Öffnung der Hohlkammer 5 hindurch das Verbindungselement mit den Steckbolzen 4 in die Ausnehmungen bzw. Bohrungen 7, 8 der Pfostenwände 6, 9 eingeschoben wird. Dabei ist es wesentlich, daß jeder Steckbolzen 4 nur die Wände 6, 9 der angrenzenden Nut 10 durchsetzt; nicht aber auch die Wände der auf der gegenüberliegenden Pfostenseite befindlichen Nut. Danach erfolgt die bereits erläuterte Sicherung durch ein federndes Teil 14.During assembly, the procedure is such that first the transom 2 is inserted transversely to its longitudinal direction with connecting elements 3 and plug pins 4 already inserted into the end face between the respective posts and then the connection element with the plug pins 4 is inserted into the recesses or bores 7, 8 of the post walls 6, 9 through the opening of the hollow chamber 5 between the seal retaining grooves. It is it is essential that each socket pin 4 passes through only the walls 6, 9 of the adjacent groove 10; but not the walls of the groove on the opposite side of the post. Then the already explained securing takes place by means of a resilient part 14.

Aus Vorstehendem ergibt sich, daß in der Regel beide Hohlkammern 5 des Riegels an jeder Stirnseite des Riegels mit Verbindungselementen 3 versehen sind, so daß ein Riegel insgesamt vier Verbindungselemente 3, nämlich zwei an jeder Stirnseite aufweist. Die gleiche Riegelbefestigung ist an der weiteren, in Fig. 1 links gezeichneten Nut 10 des Pfostens 1, bzw. 1b vorgesehen und durchsetzt entsprechende Öffnungen in der Nutwandung 9' und der Seitenwandung bzw. gleichzeitig Nutwandung 6' des Pfostens. Dort werden in analoger Weise Riegel befestigt. Die jeweiligen Pfostenbereiche und Riegel, welche zusammen ein Feld bilden, sind durch eine rahmenartige umlaufende Dichtung gegen Witterungseinflüsse abgedichtet (in der Zeichnung nicht dargestellt). Erwähnt sei, daß die Dichtungshaltenut 11' zur Aufnahme des Fußes einer solchen Dichtung dient. Hieraus ergibt sich die bereits erwähnte Doppelfunktion der Hohlkammer 5, nämlich einerseits gleitende Aufnahme der Verbindungselemente 3 und ferner Aufnahme der Füße von Dichtungen, wobei als weitere Funktion noch die Möglichkeit der Verschiebung der Verbindungselemente durch Einführen eines Werkzeuges in die schlitzförmige Öffnung 11 gegeben ist. Diese Vorteile werden mit einer sehr geringen Tiefe t des breiten Riegelbereiches 2b erreicht.It follows from the above that both hollow chambers 5 of the bolt are generally provided with connecting elements 3 on each end face of the bolt, so that a bolt has a total of four connecting elements 3, namely two on each end face. The same transom fastening is provided on the further groove 10 of the post 1 or 1b shown on the left in FIG. 1 and penetrates corresponding openings in the groove wall 9 'and the side wall or at the same time groove wall 6' of the post. Latches are fastened there in an analogous manner. The respective post areas and transoms, which together form a field, are sealed against weather influences by a frame-like circumferential seal (not shown in the drawing). It should be mentioned that the seal retaining groove 11 'serves to receive the base of such a seal. This results in the double function of the hollow chamber 5 already mentioned, namely on the one hand sliding accommodation of the connecting elements 3 and further accommodation of the feet of seals, the function of the connecting elements being displaced by inserting a tool into the slot-shaped opening 11 as a further function. These advantages are achieved with a very small depth t of the wide locking area 2b.

Der Steckbolzen 4 hat seitlich eine abgeflachte Vertiefung 12, die in der Einstecklage sich mittig zwischen den beiden Nutwänden 6, 9 befindet und einer entsprechenden Vertiefung 13 im Boden der Nut 10 gegenüberliegt. Eine in sich federnde lösbare Verriegelung 14, z.B. in Form eines entsprechenden Streifens oder Blechstreifens, wird in Längsrichtung der Nut 10 eingeschoben, bis zwei Absätze 15 dieser einen Verriegelung an den Abflachungen 12 der Bolzen 4 anliegen. Dabei stützt sich die Verriegelung 14 mit einem zwischen den Absätzen 15 gelegenen Mittelteil 16, sowie an seinem oberen Ende 16' und seinem unteren Ende 16" in der Vertiefung 13 des Bodens der Nut 10 ab. Dadurch ist das Verriegelungsteil gegen Verwindungen um seine Längsachse geschützt. Da die Absätze 15 an den seitlichen Wänden 12' der Vertiefungen 12 der Bolzen anliegen, sind hierdurch gleichzeitig die Bolzen 4 und damit die Verbindungselemente 3 gegen ein Verschieben in ihrer Längsrichtung am Pfosten arretiert. Es wird also mit einer Verriegelung 14 mittels deren beiden Absätze 15 die Arretierung von zwei übereinander liegenden Verbindungselementen 3, 4 erreicht. Am oberen Ende eines Gerippefeldes ist in der Regel zu wenig Platz, um die Verriegelung 14 von oben nach unten einschieben zu können. Für diesen Fall wird die Verriegelung 14 noch mit einer Abwinkelung 17 versehen, die in der Haltelage mit Rastwirkung den entsprechenden Bolzen 4 umgibt. Die vorstehend erläuterte Anwendung ist aus Gründen der Vereinfachung nicht mehr zeichnerisch dargestellt. Vielmehr zeigt Fig. 3 eine Verriegelung 14 mit oben gelegener Abwinkelung 17. Auch dies ist natürlich möglich und zwar insbesondere dann, wenn aus Gründen der Fertigungsvereinfachung für beide Einsatzfälle (Einstecken von oben und Einstecken von unten) die Verriegelung 14 nur in einer Ausführung, nämlich mit der Abwinkelung 17 hergestellt wird. Während somit die Verbindungselemente 3 mit Steckbolzen 4 am Pfosten arretiert sind, können die Riegel 2 auf den Verbindungselementen 3 in ihrer Längsrichtung gleiten, wodurch der benötigte Längenausgleich gegeben ist. Dies setzt natürlich voraus, daß der Abstand zwischen zwei Pfosten zumindest um so viel größer als die Länge des darin eingesetzten Riegels ist, daß bei dem maximal zu erwartenden Temperaturen der zugehörige Längenausgleich stattfinden kann. Zur leichteren Montage ist es von Vorteil, wenn die Breite der Vertiefung 12 der Steckbolzen 4 und auch die Breite des Blechstreifens 14 sowie der Vertiefung 13 im Boden der Nut 10 etwas kleiner sind als die gesamte Nutbreite b und ferner gleich oder kleiner ist als die Breite des Schlitzes 11 der Längsnut 10, so daß die Verriegelungen 14 durch diesen Schlitz 11 eingeführt werden können.The plug pin 4 has a flattened recess 12 on the side, which is located in the inserted position in the middle between the two groove walls 6, 9 and is opposite a corresponding recess 13 in the bottom of the groove 10. A resilient releasable lock 14, for example in the form of a corresponding strip or sheet metal strip, is inserted in the longitudinal direction of the groove 10 until two shoulders 15 of this one lock rest on the flats 12 of the bolts 4. The lock 14 is supported with a middle part 16 located between the shoulders 15, and at its upper end 16 'and its lower end 16 "in the recess 13 of the bottom of the groove 10. This protects the locking part against twisting about its longitudinal axis Since the shoulders 15 rest against the lateral walls 12 'of the recesses 12 of the bolts, the bolts 4 and thus the connecting elements 3 are thereby locked against displacement in their longitudinal direction on the post at the same time 15 reaches the locking of two superimposed connecting elements 3, 4. There is usually not enough space at the upper end of a skeleton field to be able to insert the locking device 14 from top to bottom. In this case, the locking device 14 is also provided with an angle 17 provided, which surrounds the corresponding bolt 4 in the holding position with latching action e For reasons of simplification, the application is no longer shown in the drawing. Rather, FIG. 3 shows a locking device 14 with angled bend 17 at the top. This is of course also possible, in particular if, for reasons of production simplification, the locking device 14 only in one embodiment, namely for both applications (insertion from above and insertion from below) is produced with the bend 17. Thus, while the connecting elements 3 are locked to the post with socket pins 4, the bars 2 can slide on the connecting elements 3 in their longitudinal direction, which provides the required length compensation. Of course, this presupposes that the distance between two posts is at least so much greater than the length of the transom used therein that the associated length compensation can take place at the maximum temperatures to be expected. For easier assembly, it is advantageous if the width of the depression 12 of the socket pins 4 and also the width of the metal strip 14 and the depression 13 in the bottom of the groove 10 are somewhat smaller than the total groove width b and furthermore the same or is smaller than the width of the slot 11 of the longitudinal groove 10, so that the locks 14 can be inserted through this slot 11.

In der Variante gemäß Fig. 4 besteht der Pfosten aus zwei Pfostenhälften 1', 1'', von denen die eine, z .B. rechte Pfostenhälfte 1'' in der Pfeilrichtung 19 verschoben werden kann. In der bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung bilden diese beiden Pfostenhälften, die jeweils in sich einstückig sind, einen breiten raumseitigen Bereich 1b eines solchen Pfostens 1. Der schmale, witterungsseitige Bereich 1a ist dabei nur an einer der beiden Pfostenhälften, hier der Pfostenhälfte 1", angebracht. Sind die beiden Pfostenhälften 1', 1" soweit ineinander geschoben, daß sie durch an Flächen 21 anliegende Dichtungen 20 gegeneinander abgedichtet sind, so verbleibt dann noch zwischen ihnen ein Spalt 33, der zum Längenausgleich in Richtung des Doppelpfeiles 19, d.h. in Längsrichtung der Riegel dient. Die Riegel 2a, 2b sind in diesem Fall über die Verbindungselemente 3 mit Steckbolzen 4 fest an der jeweiligen Pfostenhälfte angebracht, so daß der Längenausgleich von Temperaturschwankungen durch die erläuterte Relativbewegung der Pfostenhälften 1', 1'' in Pfeilrichtung 19 ausgeglichen werden kann. Das Zusammenstecken der Verbindungselemente (einschließlich deren Steckbolzen) mit den Riegeln und den Pfostenhälften erfolgt ebenso, wie vorstehend anhand der Figuren 1 bis 3 erläutert. Hierzu gehört auch die Fixierung der Steckbolzen 4 in den Nuten 10 der Pfostenhälften 1', 1'' mittels der federnden Verriegelungen (z.B. Blechstreifen) 14.In the variant according to FIG. 4, the post consists of two post halves 1 ', 1' ', one of which, e.g. right post half 1 '' can be moved in the direction of arrow 19. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, these two post halves, which are each in one piece, form a wide area 1b of such a post 1 on the room side. The narrow, weather-side area 1a is only attached to one of the two post halves, here the post half 1 " If the two post halves 1 ', 1 "are pushed into one another to such an extent that they are sealed off from one another by seals 20 resting on surfaces 21, then a gap 33 still remains between them, which is used for length compensation in the direction of the double arrow 19, ie serves in the longitudinal direction of the bolt. The latches 2a, 2b are in this case firmly attached to the respective post half via the connecting elements 3 with plug pins 4, so that the length compensation of temperature fluctuations can be compensated for by the explained relative movement of the post halves 1 ', 1' 'in the direction of arrow 19. The connecting elements (including their plug pins) are put together with the transoms and the post halves in the same way as explained above with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3. This also includes fixing the socket pins 4 in the grooves 10 of the post halves 1 ', 1' 'by means of the resilient locks (e.g. sheet metal strips) 14.

Da im Beispiel der Fig. 4 jedoch die Verbindungselemente 3 nach Erreichen der Verriegelungsposition der Steckbolzen 4 in der Pfostennut 10 ihre Lage zum Riegel nicht mehr verändern sollen, ist hierfür eine weitere, bevorzugt lösbare Verriegelung oder Verbindung vorgesehen, nämlich zwischen den Verbindungselementen und den zugehörigen Riegeln. Fig. 5 zeigt hierzu eine Ausführungsmöglichkeit. Dabei verläuft eine Madenschraube oder dergleichen 22 mit ihrer Längsachse 23 quer zur Längsrichtung der Hohlkammer 5 durch das Verbindungselement 3 und ist durch die Öffnung 11 hindurch verdrehbar. Die Spitze 24 dieser Schraube besitzt einen Schraubenumfang 24', der eine Kante bildet und sich beim vorgenannten Drehen der Schraube am Boden 32 der Hohlkammer 5 des Riegels abstützt. Da zuvor bereits die Verriegelung 14 eingesteckt ist und den Steckbolzen 4 hält ist somit auch die Lage des Verbindungselementes 3 mit Schraube 22 zum Pfosten fixiert. Somit hat eine Drehung der Madenschraube 22 ein Bewegen des Riegels relativ zum Verbindungselement zur Folge. Sobald der Riegel mit seiner Stirnfläche am Pfosten angestoßen ist und dann die Schraube 22 weitergedreht wird, bewirkt ihr weiteres Drehen ein Eindringen des Umfanges 24' und insbesondere der Spitze 24 in das Riegelmaterial und damit eine Fixierung des Riegels über das Verbindungselement am Pfosten. Für den vorgenannten Transport des Riegels durch den Umfang 24' ist der halbe Spitzenwinkel 25 der Schraubenspitze 24 größer als der Auftreffwinkel 26 der Gewindebohrung 27 im Verbindungselement 3 auf die entsprechende Wand in der Hohlkammer 5 des Riegels.Since, in the example of FIG. 4, however, the connecting elements 3 are no longer to change their position relative to the bolt after the locking position of the plug pins 4 in the post groove 10 has been reached, a further, preferably releasable locking or connection is provided for this purpose, namely between the connecting elements and the associated ones Bars. 5 shows an embodiment of this. It runs a grub screw or the like 22 with its longitudinal axis 23 transverse to the longitudinal direction of the hollow chamber 5 through the connecting element 3 and can be rotated through the opening 11. The tip 24 of this screw has a screw circumference 24 ', which forms an edge and is supported on the bottom 32 of the hollow chamber 5 of the bolt when the screw is turned. Since the lock 14 has already been inserted and holds the plug pin 4, the position of the connecting element 3 with the screw 22 is also fixed to the post. Rotation of the grub screw 22 thus results in the bolt being moved relative to the connecting element. As soon as the end face of the transom has struck the post and the screw 22 is then turned further, its further rotation causes the circumference 24 'and in particular the tip 24 to penetrate into the transom material and thus fix the transom via the connecting element on the post. For the aforementioned transport of the bolt through the circumference 24 ', the half point angle 25 of the screw tip 24 is larger than the angle of incidence 26 of the threaded bore 27 in the connecting element 3 on the corresponding wall in the hollow chamber 5 of the bolt.

Es kann in beiden Ausführungsbeispielen ferner noch ein Tragbolzen 28 vorgesehen sein, der zunächst vollständig in eine entsprechende Ausnehmung 29 des schmalen Riegelbereiches 2a eingeschoben ist und nach dem Einschieben des Riegels in die Position zwischen den Pfosten und Herstellung der Verbindung mit den Teilen 3, 4 in eine entsprechende Bohrung 30 des schmalen Pfostenbereiches 1a und den gegenüberliegenden Riegel eingeschoben wird. Gegebenenfalls können zur Überbrückung Füllstücke 31 vorgesehen sein, die ebenfalls von den Tragbolzen 28 durchsetzt sind.In both exemplary embodiments, a support bolt 28 can also be provided, which is first completely inserted into a corresponding recess 29 of the narrow locking area 2a and after the locking element has been inserted into the position between the posts and the connection with the parts 3, 4 in a corresponding bore 30 of the narrow post area 1a and the opposite bolt is inserted. If necessary, filler pieces 31 can be provided for bridging, which are also penetrated by the support bolts 28.
