Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Geradverbinder nach dem Oberbegriff des Hauptanspruchs. Ein solcher Geradverbinder ist z.B. aus der DE-A-195 27 930 bekannt.The invention relates to a straight connector according to the preamble of the main claim. Such a straight connector is for example from the DE-A-195 27 930 known.

Im Einzelnen bezieht sich die Erfindung auf einen Geradverbinder aus Kunststoff, mit Hilfe dessen Rahmenhohlprofile für Isolierglasscheiben verbindbar sind.
Ein solcher Geradverbinder ist aus der DE 195 27 930 A1 bekannt. Er weist einen länglichen Grundkörper auf, dessen gegenüberliegende Endbereiche jeweils in ein Hohlprofil einsteckbar sind, wobei der Grundkörper an der einen Seite mit einer Längsnut versehen ist, um den Durchtritt von hygroskopischem Material zu ermöglichen, und an der anderen Seite eine Basisfläche mit zwei beabstandeten Längsnuten besitzt. Die Längsnut ist seitlich von längslaufende Stegen begrenzt, die an der Oberseite eine Riffelung für den Halt im Rahmenhohlprofil tragen.In detail, the invention relates to a straight connector made of plastic, with the help of the hollow frame profiles for insulating glass panes are connectable.
Such a straight connector is from the DE 195 27 930 A1 known. It has an elongated base body, the opposite end portions are each inserted in a hollow profile, wherein the base body is provided on one side with a longitudinal groove to allow the passage of hygroscopic material, and on the other side a base surface with two spaced longitudinal grooves has. The longitudinal groove is bounded laterally by longitudinal webs, which carry a corrugation at the top for the support in the frame hollow profile.

Ein anderer Geradverbinder ist aus der DE 94 02 693 U1 vorbekannt. Sein Grundkörper weist quer abstehende Rippen oder Stege auf. Die Oberfläche des Grundkörpers hat Vorsprünge zur Vergrößerung der Reibkraft gegenüber der Profilinnenwand.Another straight connector is from the DE 94 02 693 U1 previously known. Its main body has transversely projecting ribs or webs. The surface of the body has projections to increase the frictional force against the profile inner wall.

Diese Geradverbinder werden bei den Herstellern von Rahmenhohlprofilen verwendet, um einerseits die in Stangen gefertigten Rahmenhohlprofile endseitig zu verschliessen und vor Beschädigungen zu schützen und um zum anderen dem Benutzer ein einfacheres Arbeiten zu ermöglichen, da dieser in einer kontinuierlich arbeitenden Anlage bei Beendigung eines Rahmenhohlprofils einfach das nächste Rahmenhohlprofil anfügen kann.These straight connectors are used in the manufacturers of hollow frame profiles, on the one hand to close the frame hollow profiles produced in rods end and protect against damage and to allow the other user to work easier, as this in a continuous system at the end of a frame hollow profile simply can attach next frame hollow profile.

Dabei müssen die Geradverbinder so ausgebildet sein, dass diese über einen längeren Zeitraum fest sitzend in dem Rahmenhohlprofil gehaltert sind. Dieser längere Zeitraum ist der Zeitraum von der Herstellung des Rahmenhohlprofils bis zu dessen Verwendung in einem Glaserei- oder Fensterbaubetrieb. Bei Geradverbindern, die nicht fest sitzen, besteht die Gefahr, dass diese herausfallen und verloren gehen und/oder bei einem nur teilweise eingesteckten Zustand bei mechanischen Belastungen den Endbereich des Rahmenhohlprofils beschädigen.The straight connectors must be designed so that they are held firmly seated in the frame hollow profile over a longer period. This longer period is the period from the production of the frame hollow profile until its use in a glaziery or window construction company. For straight connectors that are not tight, there is a risk that they fall out and get lost and / or damage in an only partially inserted state under mechanical stress, the end of the frame hollow profile.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Geradverbinder der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, welcher bei einfachem Aufbau und einfacher, kostengünstiger Herstellbarkeit eine hohe Haltekraft und Ausziehkraft auch nach einem längeren Zeitraum aufweist.The invention has for its object to provide a straight connector of the type mentioned, which has a simple design and simple, inexpensive to manufacture a high holding power and extraction even after a long period of time.

Erfindungsgemäss wird die Aufgabe durch die Merkmalskombination des Hauptanspruchs gelöst, die Unteransprüche zeigen weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung.According to the invention, the object is achieved by the feature combination of the main claim, the subclaims show further advantageous embodiments of the invention.

Erfindungsgemäss ist somit vorgesehen, dass der Grundkörper an einer Basisfläche mit zwei beabstandeten Längsnuten versehen ist, in welchen die Lamellen aufrecht bzw. stehend angeordnet sind.According to the invention it is thus provided that the base body is provided on a base surface with two spaced longitudinal grooves, in which the lamellae are arranged upright or upright.

Der erfindungsgemässe Geradverbinder zeichnet sich durch eine Reihe erheblicher Vorteile aus.The inventive straight connector is characterized by a number of significant advantages.

Durch die Anordnung der Lamellen in den Längsnuten der Basisfläche wird die Möglichkeit geschaffen, dass ausreichend lange Lamellen vorgesehen sind, die sich entsprechend verformen können, um den Geradverbinder in dem Rahmenhohlprofil zu verankern. Erfindungsgemäss erfolgt somit eine Verkeilung oder Verkrallung der Lamellen. Dies unterscheidet sich wesentlich vom Stand der Technik. Dort werden die Lamellen lediglich gegen die Wandung des Rahmenhohlprofils angedrückt, so dass eine Halterung nur durch Reibung beim Anliegen der Lamellen erfolgt. Gleichzeitig dient die Basisfläche zur sicheren Anlage, so dass ein Verdrehen oder Verkippen des Geradverbinders zuverlässig vermieden werden kann.The arrangement of the slats in the longitudinal grooves of the base surface creates the possibility that sufficiently long slats are provided which can deform correspondingly in order to anchor the straight connector in the frame hollow profile. According to the invention, a wedging or clawing of the slats thus takes place. This is very different from the state of the art Technology. There, the slats are pressed only against the wall of the frame hollow profile, so that a holder is made only by friction when concerns the slats. At the same time the base surface is used for safe investment, so that twisting or tilting of the straight connector can be reliably avoided.

Ein weiterer, wesentlicher Vorteil besteht darin, dass die beiden Längsnuten mit den Lamellen die Möglichkeit schaffen, das Gesamtprofil des Geradverbinders so auszubilden, dass die Längsnut zur Aufnahme bzw. Durchführung des hygroskopischen Materials einen ausreichenden Querschnitt haben kann.Another significant advantage is that the two longitudinal grooves create the possibility with the lamellae, the overall profile of the straight connector in such a way that the longitudinal groove for receiving or carrying the hygroscopic material can have a sufficient cross-section.

Durch die erfindungsgemäß vorgesehene Ausgestaltung mit den Lamellen wird weiterhin sichergestellt, dass die Haltekraft des Geradverbinders erst dann auftritt, wenn auf diesen eine Ausziehkraft wirkt. Somit tritt nicht der Effekt ein, den der Stand der Technik kennt. Bei diesem erfolgt nämlich sofort eine entsprechende Haltekraft durch Anliegen und Andrücken der Lamellen des Geradverbinders, die sich im Laufe der Zeit jedoch durch den Kaltfluss des Kunststoffmaterials wieder löst. Demgegenüber treten die erfindungsgemäßen Lamellen erst dann in Wirkung, wenn sie durch eine Ausziehkraft belastet werden.By inventively provided embodiment with the slats is further ensured that the holding force of the straight connector only occurs when acting on this a pull-out. Thus, the effect known in the prior art does not occur. In this, namely, immediately a corresponding holding force by abutment and pressing the blades of the straight connector, which dissolves over time, however, by the cold flow of the plastic material again. In contrast, the lamellae according to the invention only come into effect when they are loaded by a pull-out force.

In einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass die Lamellen über die Basisfläche vorstehen. Der Gesamtbetrag dieses Überstandes beträgt bevorzugterweise 0,2 mm. Hierdurch ist ein ausreichendes Verkrallen bzw. Verkeilen der Lamellen gewährleistet, ohne dass diese zu sehr bei dem Einschieben des Geradverbinders verformt und belastet würden.In an advantageous embodiment of the invention it is provided that the lamellae project beyond the base surface. The total amount of this supernatant is preferably 0.2 mm. As a result, sufficient clawing or wedging of the slats is ensured without these being deformed and loaded too much during the insertion of the straight connector.

Als besonders vorteilhaft hat es sich erwiesen, wenn der gegenseitige Abstand der Lamellen in einem Bereich von 1,5 bis 2 mm liegt. Ein besonders bevorzugter Wert ist bei einem Abstand von 1,75 mm geboten. Die Abstände der Lamellen gewährleisten eine ausreichende Verkrallung an der mit Ausprägungen, Noppen oder sonstigen Rauhheiten versehenen Innenfläche des Rahmenhohlprofils. Da derartige Rahmenhohlprofile von unterschiedlichen Herstellern in unterschiedlicher Ausgestaltungsform geliefert werden, ergibt sich bei der erfindungsgemäßen Lamellen-Konstruktion stets eine ausreichende Haltekraft.It has proven to be particularly advantageous if the mutual distance of the slats is in a range of 1.5 to 2 mm. A particularly preferred value is required at a distance of 1.75 mm. The distances between the lamellae ensure sufficient clawing on the inner surface of the frame hollow profile provided with forms, nubs or other roughness. Since such hollow frame profiles are supplied by different manufacturers in different embodiments, results in the lamella construction according to the invention always a sufficient holding power.

Besonders bevorzugt ist es, wenn die Lamellen an ihrem freien Ende jeweils schneidenförmig ausgebildet sind. Hierdurch ergibt sich eine besonders hohe Flächenpressung, die zu einer Verkrallung und Verkantung der Lamellen führt.It is particularly preferred if the lamellae are each formed cut-shaped at their free end. This results in a particularly high surface pressure, which leads to a clawing and tilting of the slats.

Der Grundkörper ist in günstiger Ausgestaltung im Wesentlichen rechteckig, d.h. mit einer rechteckigen Außenkontur versehen, so dass nicht nur die Basisfläche, sondern auch die weiteren Seitenflächen gegen die Innenwandung des Rahmenhohlprofils anliegen.The basic body is in a favorable embodiment substantially rectangular, i. provided with a rectangular outer contour, so that not only the base surface, but also the other side surfaces bear against the inner wall of the frame hollow profile.

Um ein gleichmäßiges Einschieben des Geradverbinders bis zu seiner Mitte in das freie Ende eines Rahmenhohlprofils zu sichern, ist es günstig, wenn der Grundkörper mit einem Mittelanschlag versehen ist.In order to ensure a uniform insertion of the straight connector to its center in the free end of a hollow frame profile, it is advantageous if the base body is provided with a center stop.

Im Folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels in Verbindung mit der Zeichnung beschrieben. Dabei zeigt:

In the following the invention will be described by means of an embodiment in conjunction with the drawing. Showing:

Fig. 2
a bottom view of the in Fig. 1 shown embodiment,
Fig. 3
a side view, partly in section, of the straight connector according to the invention, and
Fig. 4
a plan view of the straight connector according to the invention.

Der erfindungsgemäße Geradverbinder umfasst einen Grundkörper 1, welcher mit einem vorderen Endbereich 2 und einem hinteren Endbereich 3 versehen ist. Insofern ist der Geradverbinder um eine quer zur Längsrichtung liegende Symmetrieebene 10 symmetrisch aufgebaut.The straight connector according to the invention comprises a main body 1 which is provided with a front end region 2 and a rear end region 3. In this respect, the straight connector is constructed symmetrically about a symmetry plane 10 lying transversely to the longitudinal direction.

Der Grundkörper umfasst eine Längsnut 4, die sich über dessen gesamte Länge erstreckt und den Durchtritt eines hygroskopischen Materials zur Trocknung eines Isolierscheiben-Mittelraumes ermöglicht.The main body comprises a longitudinal groove 4 which extends over its entire length and allows the passage of a hygroscopic material for drying a Isolierscheibenmittelraumes.

An einer Basisfläche 6 des Grundkörpers 1 sind Längsnuten 7 und 8 ausgebildet, die einen im Wesentlichen rechteckigen Querschnitt haben und in denen eine Anzahl von Lamellen 5 angeordnet sind, die sich jeweils senkrecht nach außen erstrecken, so wie dies beispielsweise aus Fig. 3 ersichtlich ist. Die Lamellen 5 sind einstückig mit dem Grundkörper 1 verbunden. Wie sich insbesondere aus der Darstellung der Fig. 3 ergibt, sind die Lamellen "stehend" zu dem Grundkörper 1 angeordnet. Sie erstrecken sich somit im rechten Winkel zur Längsebene des Grundkörpers 1 und werden beim Einschieben in das Rahmenhohlprofil entsprechend verformt, um die Keilwirkung (siehe oben) zu realisieren.On a base surface 6 of the main body 1 longitudinal grooves 7 and 8 are formed, which have a substantially rectangular cross-section and in which a number of fins 5 are arranged, each extending vertically outwards, as for example Fig. 3 is apparent. The fins 5 are integrally connected to the base body 1. As can be seen in particular from the presentation of Fig. 3 results, the slats are arranged "upright" to the base body 1. They thus extend at right angles to the longitudinal plane of the main body 1 and are correspondingly deformed during insertion into the frame hollow profile in order to realize the wedge effect (see above).

An ihrem freien Ende weisen die Lamellen 5 jeweils eine Schneide 9 auf, die sich durch eine entsprechende Abschrägung ergibt. Die Schneide 9 dient zu einem optimalen Verkrallen mit der Wandung des nicht dargestellten Rahmenhohlprofils.At their free end, the slats 5 each have a cutting edge 9, which results from a corresponding bevel. The cutting edge 9 serves for optimal clawing with the wall of the frame hollow profile, not shown.

Auch in seiner Längsrichtung ist der Geradverbinder symmetrisch zu einer Symmetrieebene 11, so wie sich dies beispielsweise aus der Fig. 1 ergibt.Also in its longitudinal direction of the straight connector is symmetrical to a plane of symmetry 11, as this is for example from the Fig. 1 results.

Bei den dargestellten Figuren ist die Fig. 1 eine Schnittansicht längs der Pfeile gemäß Fig. 4.In the illustrated figures is the Fig. 1 a sectional view along the arrows according to Fig. 4 ,

Wie sich aus der Teil-Schnittansicht von Fig. 3 ergibt, weisen die Lamellen 5 untereinander jeweils einen Abstand A auf, welcher bevorzugterweise 1,75 mm beträgt.As can be seen from the partial sectional view of Fig. 3 results, the slats 5 each have a distance A, which is preferably 1.75 mm.

Weiterhin zeigen insbesondere die Fig. 1 und 3, dass die Lamellen über die Oberfläche der Basisfläche 6 vorstehen, bevorzugt um einen Betrag von 0,2 mm.Furthermore, in particular show the Fig. 1 and 3 in that the lamellae protrude beyond the surface of the base surface 6, preferably by an amount of 0.2 mm.

Die Seitenwandungen 15, 16 des Grundkörpers 1 sind leicht nach außen geneigt, so wie dies aus Fig. 1 ersichtlich ist. Weiterhin sind die Seitenwandungen, wie in Fig. 4 gezeigt, durch einen Schlitz oder eine Nut 14 durchtrennt. Der Schlitz 14 erstreckt sich bis in die jeweilige Längsnut 7 bzw. 8. Bei einem Einschieben in das Rahmenhohlprofil werden somit die Seitenwandungen 15, 16, so wie dies durch die Pfeile P in Fig. 1 gezeigt ist, seitlich eingedrückt und dabei geringfügig verformt. Die entsprechende Seite des Geradverbinders kann somit in das Rahmenhohlprofil eingeführt werden. Sobald dabei die Kante des Rahmenhohlprofils den Schlitz 14 erreicht, stößt diese gegen die Wandung des Schlitzes 14. Dieser bildet somit zusammen mit der Elastizität der Seitenwandungen 15, 16 einen Mittenanschlag beim Einschieben des Geradverbinders. Die Verformung der Seitenwandungen 15, 16 in Richtung der Pfeile P führt zu einer geringfügigen Verringerung der Breite der Längsnuten 7, 8. Diese Verringerung ist jedoch so gering bemessen, dass die Funktionsfähigkeit der Lamellen 5 und deren Bewegbarkeit nicht betroffen wird.The side walls 15, 16 of the base body 1 are slightly inclined outwardly, as is the case Fig. 1 is apparent. Furthermore, the side walls, as in Fig. 4 shown cut through a slot or groove 14. The slot 14 extends into the respective longitudinal groove 7 and 8. When inserted into the frame hollow profile thus the side walls 15, 16, as indicated by the arrows P in Fig. 1 is shown, laterally pressed and thereby slightly deformed. The corresponding side of the straight connector can thus be inserted into the frame hollow profile. As soon as the edge of the frame hollow profile reaches the slot 14, this abuts against the wall of the slot 14. This thus forms together with the elasticity of the side walls 15, 16 a center stop when inserting the straight connector. The deformation of the side walls 15, 16 in the direction of the arrows P leads to a slight reduction in the width of the longitudinal grooves 7, 8. However, this reduction is so small that the functionality of the slats 5 and their mobility is not affected.

Weiterhin ergibt sich die Möglichkeit, eine Hohlkehle 12 vorzusehen. Diese definiert obere Anlagekanten 13.Furthermore, there is the possibility to provide a groove 12. This defines upper abutment edges 13th

Das freie Ende der Endbereiche 2 und 3 kann abgeschrägt, abgerundet oder mit einer hohlkehlenartigen Ausnehmung versehen sein, so wie dies insbesondere in den Fig. 2 und 4 gezeigt ist.The free end of the end portions 2 and 3 can be chamfered, rounded or be provided with a groove-like recess, as in particular in the Fig. 2 and 4 is shown.
