Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Kämpferverbinder zur stirnseitigen Befestigung eines aus Kunststoff bestehenden Kämpfer-Hohlprofils an einem dazu senkrecht verlaufenden, innen metallverstärkten Kunststoff-Rahmenholm eines insbesondere Fensterrahmens, mit einem im wesentlichen rechteckigen, auf dem Rahmenholm in dessen Längsrichtung aufliegend anzubringenden Verbinderfuß, der über in seinem mittleren, auf das Stirnende des Kämpfers aufzusetzenden, entsprechend verbreiterten Teil gelegene innere Schraublöcher und darin einzusetzende Innenschrauben mit am Kämpfer innenseitig vorhandenen, in dessen Längsrichtung verlaufenden Schraubkanalrippen und über in seinen Enden vorhandene äußere Schraublöcher und darin entgegengesetzt zu den Innenschrauben einzusetzende Aussenschrauben mit dem Rahmenholm und dessen metallischem Verstärkungs-Hohlprofil zu verschrauben ist.The invention relates to a fighter connector for the front Attachment of a plastic hollow fighter profile on a vertical inside metal-reinforced plastic frame spar one in particular Window frame, with a substantially rectangular, on to be attached to the frame spar in the longitudinal direction Connector foot, which is in its middle, on the The front of the fighter to be put on, widened accordingly Partly located inner screw holes and those to be inserted therein Inner screws with the inside of the fighter, in the longitudinal direction extending screw channel ribs and via external screw holes in its ends and in it external screws to be inserted opposite to the internal screws with the frame spar and its metallic reinforcement hollow profile is to be screwed.

Kämpferverbinder obiger Art sind durch die EP 0 569 957 Al bekannt. Ihr Verbinderfuß besteht aus einer flachen Metallplatte, die zu Beginn der Montage auf das Stirnende des Kämpfers aufgesetzt und damit über in dessen Schraubkanalrippen einzudrehende, selbstschneidende Innenschrauben fest zu verbinden ist, während danach der Kämpferverbinder zusammen mit dem an ihm bereits befestigten Kämpfer an entsprechender Stelle auf dem Rahmenholm in Längsrichtung verlaufend aufgelegt und darauf mittels der in den vom Kämpfer unabgedeckten Enden des Verbinderfußes vorhandenen äußeren Schraublöcher einzusetzenden Außenschrauben mit dem Rahmenholm des metallischen Verstärkungsprofils verschraubt wird. Das erlaubt nicht nur eine einfache Montage der Kämpferverbindung, sondern ist vor allem auch insofern gegenüber anderen bekannten Kämpferverbindern von Vorteil, als dadurch ein gutes Aussehen der Kämpferverbindungsstelle gewahrt wird, insbesondere durch die vollständig verdeckte Innenanordnung der zwischen Kämpfer und Verbinderfuß vorhandenen Innenschrauben sowie auch dadurch, daß von dem Kämpferverbinder lediglich dessen äußere, für das Einsetzen der Außenschrauben zugängliche und daher notwendigerweise auch sichtbar bleiben müssende Enden offenliegen. Da bei diesen Kämpferverbindern die eigentliche Verbindung zwischen Kämpfer und dazu senkrecht verlaufendem Rahmenholm aber lediglich über die aus Kunststoff bestehenden Schraubkanalrippen und die darin eingreifenden Innenschrauben erfolgt, läßt die Verbindungs- wie auch Verdrehungsfestigkeit dieser Kämpferverbindung noch zu wünschen übrig.Fighter connectors of the above type are by EP 0 569 957 Al known. Your connector foot consists of one flat metal plate that at the beginning of the assembly on the Put on the front end of the fighter and thus over in it Screw channel ribs to be screwed in, self-tapping internal screws is to be firmly connected, while afterwards the fighter connector together with the fighter already attached to him at the appropriate place on the frame spar in the longitudinal direction on-going and then by means of the fighter uncovered ends of the connector foot existing outer Screw holes to be inserted with the frame spar of the metallic reinforcement profile screwed becomes. This not only allows easy assembly of the fighter connection, but, above all, is opposite other known fighter connectors is advantageous as a result a good appearance of the fighter liaison office is maintained, in particular due to the completely concealed interior arrangement the internal screws between the fighter and the connector foot and also in that from the fighter connector only its outer, for the insertion of the outer screws accessible and therefore necessarily remain visible the ends must be exposed. Because with these fighter connectors the actual connection between fighters and perpendicular to it extending frame spar but only from the Plastic existing screw channel ribs and the engaging therein Internal screws done, the connection leaves like also torsional strength of this fighter connection still too wish left.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen gattungsgemäß beschaffenen Kämpferverbinder dahingehend zu verbessern und zu vervollkommnen, daß er unter Beibehalt seiner das Äußere der Kämpferverbindungsstelle schonenden, vergleichsweise versteckten Anordnung eine noch wesentlich grössere Verbindungsfestigkeit bei zugleich verbesserter Verdrehsicherung gewährleistet.The invention is therefore based on the object generic connectors of this type improve and perfect that while maintaining his the exterior of the fighter liaison gently, comparatively hidden arrangement a much larger one Connection strength with improved twist protection guaranteed.

Diese Aufgabe wird ausgehend von einem Kämpferverbinder der eingangs erwähnten Art erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß auf dem mittleren Teil des Verbinderfußes ein in das Kämpfer-Hohlprofil formschlüssig hineinpassender, hohler Verbinderstumpf angeformt ist, der in seinen über den inneren Schraublöchern gelegenen Seitenwänden mit einwärts gebogenen Aufnahmerinnen für die darin hineinpassenden Schraubkanalrippen des Kämpfers versehen ist. Dieser Verbinderstumpf besitzt vorteilhaft einen unteren von vier senkrecht zum Verbinderfuß verlaufenden Seitenwandflächen gebildeten Passungsbereich und ist in diesem Bereich allseitig von im Abstand der jeweiligen Wandstärke der zugehörigen Kämpfer-Innenwand gelegenen äußeren Seitenwandteilen umgeben, die an den Rändern des mittleren, im Vergleich zu den Enden nahezu doppelt so breiten Teiles des Verbinderfußes senkrecht zu letzterem verlaufend angeformt sind. Durch den Passungsbereich des Verbinderstumpfes und die ihn ringsum mit entsprechendem Abstand umgebenden Seitenwandteile wird die am Stirnende des Kämpfers vorhandene Innenwand von den entsprechenden Teilen des Verbinderfußes innen sowie außen dicht anliegend umgeben, wodurch die Verbindungsfestigkeit an dieser Stelle wie insbesondere aber auch die Verdrehsicherung zwischen Kämpfer und Rahmenholm eine wesentliche Steigerung erfahren. Durch die nach wie vor weithin abgedeckte Anordnung des Verbinderfußes bleibt das gute Aussehen der Kämpferverbindungsstelle praktisch unbeeinträchtigt. Um das Einstecken des Verbinderstumpfes in das Kämpfer-Stirnende zu erleichtern, weist der Verbinderstumpf oberhalb seines Passungsbereichs vorteilhaft einen von äußeren Schrägwandflächen gebildeten, pyramidenstumpfartig gebildeten Einsteckbereich auf.This task is based on a fighter connector of the type mentioned at the outset according to the invention, that on the middle part of the connector foot one in that Hollow profile of the fighter fits into the hollow connector stump is molded in its over the inner Side walls with screw holes with inward curved Receivers for the screw channel ribs that fit into it of the fighter is provided. This connector stump has advantageously a lower one of four perpendicular to the connector foot extending side wall surfaces formed fit area and is on all sides at a distance from each other Wall thickness of the associated inner wall of the fighter Surround side wall parts that on the edges of the middle, compared to the ends of the part almost twice as wide of the connector foot formed perpendicular to the latter are. Through the fit area of the connector stump and those surrounding it with a corresponding distance Side wall parts will be the ones present at the front end of the fighter Inner wall of the corresponding parts of the connector foot surrounded tightly inside and outside, making the connection strength at this point like in particular also the anti-twist device between the fighter and the frame spar experience significant increase. By still this remains the largely covered arrangement of the connector foot good appearance of the fighter liaison practically unaffected. To insert the connector stump into the The connector stump shows how to facilitate the end of the fighter above its range of fit advantageously one from the outside Sloping wall surfaces formed, truncated pyramid-shaped Insertion area.

Es sei hier bemerkt, daß es bei gattungsverschiedenen Kämpferverbindern z.B. nach der DE 32 12 436 C3 bekannt ist, diese mit einem auf ihrem Verbinderfuß senkrecht stehenden hohlen Verbinderstumpf zu versehen, der in das Innere des Kämpfer-Stirnendes einzusetzen ist. Bei diesem Kämpferverbinder ragt aber der Verbinderstumpf in ein im Kämpferinneren vorhandenes metallisches Verstärkungs-Hohlprofil und nicht direkt in das Kunststoff-Kämpferprofil hinein, wobei die gegenseitige Befestigung dieser drei Teile über sie durchsetzende Querverbindungsschrauben an Kämpfer erfolgt, die sichtbar sind und daher das Aussehen dieser Verbindungsstelle beeinträchtigen. Weiterhin ist hier der endseitige Passungsbereich des am Kämpferverbinder vorhandenen Verbinderstumpfes nur an drei Seiten von in entsprechendem Abstand gelegenen Seitenwandteilen am Verbinderfuß umgeben, also an einer Seite offen, was die durch diesen bekannten Kämpferverbinder erzielbare Verdrehsicherung beeinträchtigt.It should be noted here that there are different genres Fighter connectors e.g. is known from DE 32 12 436 C3, these with one standing vertically on their connector foot to provide a hollow connector stump that goes into the interior of the Fighter's forehead is to be used. With this fighter connector but the connector stump protrudes into the inside of the fighter existing metal reinforcement hollow profile and not directly into the plastic fighter profile, the mutual Fastening these three parts through them Cross-connection screws on fighters are made visible are and therefore impair the appearance of this connection point. Furthermore, here is the fit area at the end of the connector stump present on the fighter connector only on three sides of the appropriate distance Surround side wall parts on the connector foot, i.e. on one side open what the achievable by this known fighter connector Protection against rotation impaired.

Im Gegensatz dazu wird bei einem für mit einem inneren metallischen Verstärkungsrohr versehenen Kämpfer bestimmten Kämpferverbinder erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen, daß das metallische Verstärkungsrohr dann innerhalb des hohlen Verbinderstumpfes zu liegen kommt und darin bis zum Verbinderfuß eintaucht. Hierzu sind in den die Aufnahmerinnen für die Kämpferschraubkanalrippen enthaltenden Seitenwandbereichen des Verbinderstumpfes Distanzlappen am Verbinderfuß angeformt, deren innere Enden jeweils mit dem inneren Scheitel der zugehörigen Aufnahmerinne fluchten und ebenso wie letztere am Kämpfer-Verstärkungsrohr außen anliegen.In contrast, one with an inner metallic reinforcement tube provided fighters Fighter connector provided according to the invention that the metallic Reinforcement tube then inside the hollow connector stump comes to rest and dips into it up to the connector foot. For this, the receptacles for the fighter screw channel ribs are in the containing side wall areas of the Spacer flap formed on the connector base, the inner ends of each with the inner vertex of the associated The receiving channel is aligned and, like the latter, on Fit the fighter reinforcement tube on the outside.

Weitere Merkmale der Erfindung sind in weiteren Unteransprüchen gekennzeichnet.Further features of the invention are in further subclaims featured.

Der dargestellte Kämpferverbinder ist von einstückiger Beschaffenheit, insbesondere aus Metall-, vornehmlich Zink-Druckguß hergestellt. Er besitzt einen länglichen, im wesentlichen rechteckig konturierten Verbinderfuß 1, der in seinem mittleren Teil 1' etwa doppelt so breit wie an den beiden Enden 1" ist. In den Verbinderfußenden 1" sind äußere Schraublöcher 2 vorhanden, die zur Aufnahme von äußeren, in Fig.4 ersichtlichen Außenschrauben 3 dienen, über die der Kämpferverbinder mit dem aus Kunststoff bestehenden Rahmenholm 4 und dessen innerem metallischen Verstärkungshohlrohr 5 fest zu verschrauben ist. Im mittleren Bereich 1' sind weitere, sogenannte innere Schraublöcher 6 angeordnet, die zur Aufnahme von darin entgegengesetzt zu den Außenschrauben 3 einzusetzenden Innenschrauben 7 dienen, die entsprechend Fig. 5 in im Kämpferhohlprofil 8 innenseitig vorhandene, in dessen Längsrichtung verlaufende Schraubkanalrippen 8' einzuschrauben und dazu selbstschneidend ausgebildet sind. Wie Fig.5 zeigt, besitzt der Kämpfer 8 eine ringsum geschlossene Innenwand 8", die über Hohlräume 8‴ voneinander trennende Stege 8IV mit der Kämpferaußenwand 8V verbunden sind. Innenseitig ist die Kämpfer-Innenwand 8'' ebenso wie außenseitig durch das Extrudierverfahren der Kämpferherstellung vergleichsweise glattwandig.The fighter connector shown is made in one piece, in particular from metal, mainly zinc die-cast. It has an elongated, essentially rectangularly contoured connector foot 1, which is approximately twice as wide in its central part 1 'as at the two ends 1 ". In the connector foot ends 1" there are outer screw holes 2 which are used to receive external, in Fig.4 serve external screws 3, via which the fighter connector with the plastic frame member 4 and its inner metallic reinforcing hollow tube 5 is to be firmly screwed. In the central area 1 'there are further, so-called inner screw holes 6, which serve to receive inner screws 7 to be inserted therein opposite to the outer screws 3, which, according to FIG. 5, are screwed into screw channel ribs 8', which are provided on the inside in the hollow hollow section 8 and extend in the longitudinal direction thereof are designed to be self-tapping. As shown in FIG. 5, the fighter 8 has an all-round closed inner wall 8 ″, which are connected to the fighter outer wall 8 V by webs 8 IV separating from one another by cavities 8 ‴ the fighter production comparatively smooth-walled.

Zur zusätzlichen Verbindungs- und Scherfestigkeit sowie Verdrehsicherung zwischen Kämpfer 8 und dem Kämpferverbinder ist auf dem mittleren, entsprechend verbreiterten Teil 1' des Verbinderfußes 1 ein in das Kämpfer-Hohlprofil formschlüssig hineinpassender hohler Verbinderstumpf 9 angeformt, der in seinen über den inneren Schraublöchern 6 gelegenen Seitenwänden 9' mit einwärts gebogenen Aufnahmerinnen 10 für die darin hineinpassenden Schraubkanalrippen 8' des Kämpfers 8 versehen ist. In seinem unteren, dem Verbinderfuß 1 zugewandten Teil besitzt der Verbinderstumpf 9 einen von vier senkrecht zum Verbinderfuß 1 verlaufenden Seitenwandflächen 9' gebildeten Passungsbereich 9‴. In diesem Passungsbereich 9‴' ist der Verbinderfuß 9 allseitig von an den Rändern des mittleren Teiles 1' des Verbinderfußes 1 senkrecht zu letzterem verlaufenden Seitenwandteilen 11,11' und 11" umgeben. Ihr jeweiliger Abstand zu den Seitenwandflächen 9',9" des Verbinderstumpfes 9 entspricht der jeweiligen Wandstärke der zugehörigen Kämpfer-Innenwandteile 8" bzw. 8VI.For additional connection and shear strength as well as protection against rotation between the fighter 8 and the fighter connector, a hollow connector stump 9, which fits positively into the hollow fighter profile, is formed on the middle, correspondingly widened part 1 'of the connector base 1, which stump 9 is located in its side walls located above the inner screw holes 6 9 'is provided with inwardly bent receiving grooves 10 for the screw channel ribs 8' of the fighter 8 which fit therein. In its lower part, facing the connector foot 1, the connector stub 9 has a fitting area 9 ‴ formed by four side wall surfaces 9 ′ running perpendicular to the connector foot 1. In this area of fit 9 ‴ ', the connector foot 9 is surrounded on all sides by side wall parts 11, 11' and 11 "which run perpendicular to the latter at the edges of the central part 1 'of the connector foot 1. Their respective distance from the side wall surfaces 9', 9" of the connector stump 9 corresponds to the respective wall thickness of the associated fighter inner wall parts 8 "or 8 VI .

Oberhalb seines Passungsbereichs 9‴ weist der Verbinderstumpf einen von äußeren Schrägwandflächen 9IV gebildeten, pyramidenstumpfartigen Einsteckbereich 9V auf. Dadurch wird das passungsgerechte Aufsetzen des Kämpferverbinders auf das in Fig.1 strichpunktiert augedeutete Stirnende 8VII des Kämpfers erleichtert.Above its fit area 9 ‴, the connector stump has a truncated pyramid-shaped insertion area 9 V formed by outer inclined wall surfaces 9 IV . This facilitates the fitting of the fighter connector onto the front end 8 VII of the fighter, indicated by a dash-dotted line in FIG.

Sofern das Kämpfer-Hohlrohr üblicherweise mit einem innenliegenden metallischen Verstärkungshohlrohr 12 entsprechend Fig.5 versehen ist, sind in den die Aufnahmerinnen 10 für die Kämpfer-Schraubkanalrippen 8' enthaltenden Seitenwandbereichen des Verbinderstumpfes 9 noch am Verbinderfuß angeformte Distanzlappen 13 vorhanden, deren innere Enden 13' jeweils mit dem inneren Scheitel 10' der zugehörigen Aufnahmerinne 10 fluchten und ebenso wie letztere am Kämpfer-Verstärkungsrohr 12 außen anliegen. Das metallische Hohlprofilrohr 12 ist mit einem Längsschlitz 12' versehen, wodurch die Anpassungsfähigkeit dieses Verstärkungsrohres 12 entsprechend gesteigert werden kann. Der besseren Anpassung sowie entsprechenden Steigerung der Verbindungsfestigkeit dienen auch die jedenfalls im Passungsbereich 9''' des Verbinderstumpfes 9 vorhandenen, leicht vorspringenden Rippen 9VI, die sich beim Aufstecken des Kämpferverbinders auf das Stirnende des Kämpfers in dessen Innenwandung 8VI leicht einzugraben vermögen.If the hollow fighter tube is usually provided with an internal metallic hollow reinforcement tube 12 according to FIG. 5, there are spacer tabs 13 formed on the connector foot 9 in the side wall regions of the connector stump 9 which contain the grooves 10 for the fighter screw channel ribs 8 ', the inner ends 13' of which each aligned with the inner apex 10 'of the associated receiving channel 10 and, like the latter, bear against the fighter reinforcing tube 12 on the outside. The metallic hollow profile tube 12 is provided with a longitudinal slot 12 ', whereby the adaptability of this reinforcing tube 12 can be increased accordingly. The slightly more protruding ribs 9 VI , which are present in any case in the fit region 9 '''of the connector stump 9 and which can easily dig into the inner wall 8 VI of the fighter connector when the fighter connector is plugged onto the front end of the fighter, serve for better adaptation and a corresponding increase in the connection strength.

Wie insbesondere aus Fig.1 hervorgeht, betragen die in Bezug auf den Verbinderfuß 1 gemessenen Höhen des im Verbinderstumpf 9 vorhandenen Passungsbereichs 9‴, der letzteren längsseitig umgebenden Seitenwandteile 11,11'' sowie der inneren Distanzlappen 13 etwa ein Viertel und des pyramidenstumpfartigen Einsteckbereichs 9V etwa drei Viertel der Gesamthöhe des Verbinderstumpfes 9, während die seinen Passungsbereich 9''' schmalseitig umgebenden Seitenwandteile 11' etwa halb so hoch wie der Verbinderstumpf 9 sind. Diese Seitenwandteile 11' bilden mit den zugehörigen, die äußeren Schraublöcher 2 enthaltenden Verbinderfußenden 1" jeweils ein L-förmiges Profil mit etwa gleich langen Scnenkeln und oberseitigen Kantenabrundungen 14, 14'.As can be seen in particular from FIG. 1, the heights measured in relation to the connector foot 1 of the fitting area 9 vorhandenen present in the connector stump 9, the side wall parts 11, 11 '' surrounding the latter on the longitudinal side and the inner spacer tabs 13 are approximately a quarter and the truncated pyramid-like insertion area 9 V is approximately three quarters of the total height of the connector stump 9, while the side wall parts 11 'surrounding its fit region 9''' on the narrow side are approximately half the height of the connector stump 9. These side wall parts 11 ', together with the associated connector foot ends 1 "containing the outer screw holes 2, each form an L-shaped profile with approximately the same length of legs and rounded edges 14, 14' on the top side.

Zur Montage der Kämpferverbindung wird zunächst der Kämpferverbinder mit seinem Verbinderstumpf 9 in das Stirnende 8VII des Kämpfers 8 bis zu dessen Anschlag auf dem Verbinderfuß 1 eingeschoben und dann mittels der in die inneren Schraublöcher 6 einzusetzenden Befestigungsschrauben 7 verschraubt, die dabei in die in den Schraubkanalrippen 8' des Kämpfers 8 vorhandenen Bohrungen 8VIII selbstschneidend eingedreht werden. Dadurch ergibt sich ein insgesamt fester Dreh- und Scherverbindungssitz zwischen Kämpfer 8 und dem Kämpferverbinder 9. Sodann wird letzterer mit der Unterseite seines Verbinderfußes 1 und dem daran befestigten Kämpfer 8 auf die flache Oberseite 4' des Rahmenholms 4 in dessen Längsrichtung verlaufend aufgelegt und über die in die äußeren Schraublöcher 2 einzusetzenden Außenschrauben 3 entsprechend Fig.4 mit dem Rahmenholm 4 und dessen innerem metallischen Verstärkungshohlprofil 5 verschraubt. Dadurch kommt man zu einer festigkeitsmäßig hochwertigen Verbindung zwischen Kämpfer 8 und dem dazu senkrecht verlaufenden Rahmenholm 4, die noch dazu wegen der weitestgehend abgedeckten Anordnung des Kämpferverbinders von gutem Aussehen ist.To assemble the fighter connection, the fighter connector with its connector stub 9 is first inserted into the front end 8 VII of the fighter 8 up to its stop on the connector base 1 and then screwed by means of the fastening screws 7 to be inserted into the inner screw holes 6, which screws into the screw channel ribs 8 'of the fighter 8 existing holes 8 VIII are screwed in self-tapping. This results in an overall fixed rotary and shear connection seat between the fighter 8 and the fighter connector 9. Then the latter is placed with the underside of its connector base 1 and the attached fighter 8 on the flat top 4 'of the frame spar 4 in the longitudinal direction thereof and over the screwed into the outer screw holes 2 outer screws 3 according to Figure 4 with the frame member 4 and its inner metallic reinforcing hollow profile 5. This results in a high-quality connection between the fighter 8 and the frame spar 4 running perpendicular thereto, which is also of good appearance because of the largely covered arrangement of the fighter connector.

Es versteht sich, daß im Rahmen der vorliegenden Erfindung mancherlei Abwandlungen möglich sind. Insbesondere kann dabei der Kämpferverbinder statt aus Metall-Druckguß gegebenenfalls auch aus entsprechend hochfestem Kunststoff einstükkig hergestellt werden. Weiterhin ist der Kämpferverbinder nicht nur für Kunststoff-Fensterrahmen, sondern ebenso gut auch für Kunststoff-Türrahmen geeignet.It is understood that within the scope of the present invention various modifications are possible. In particular, can if necessary, the fighter connector instead of die-cast metal also in one piece from corresponding high-strength plastic getting produced. Furthermore, the fighter connector not just for plastic window frames, but just as good also suitable for plastic door frames.
