Definitions

  • the invention relates to a combination of a U-shaped connector made of plastic for connecting hollow sections and a hollow profile, in particular a spacer hollow profile made of metal, plastic od.
  • a U-shaped connector made of plastic for connecting hollow sections
  • a hollow profile in particular a spacer hollow profile made of metal, plastic od.
  • the connector at its side bars with outwardly directed is provided against the insertion direction to the rear inclined slats.
  • the object of the invention is to propose a U-shaped connector which is able to close tightly the joint of two connected to this connector hollow sections.
  • the connector is formed in the region of its bottom surface and in the region of its side webs in such a way that it can be positively inserted into a hollow profile and that between the side bars at least one lock is arranged, which is positively against the bottom surface the hollow profile can create.
  • the junction is very well closed by the connector. Desiccant can not escape. In addition, it is prevented that the desiccant flows through the connector.
  • stops are arranged in the region of the middle of the longitudinal extension of the U-connector.
  • the connector can be used in both directions.
  • the stops are provided on the outer sides of the side webs.
  • Another very advantageous embodiment of the invention is also to be seen in that at least between two adjacent slats, a sealing element is provided.
  • the sealing element is designed as a reinforcement between two adjacent lamellae.
  • the reinforcement not only improves the seal of the blades, but also provides improved long-term stability.
  • Another very advantageous embodiment of the invention is also the fact that two sealing elements are provided at each Lekssaussenkante.
  • each of the two hollow sections is sealed again.
  • the bottom surface has at least one opening.
  • the barrier is designed as a wall which rests on the bottom surface and extends between the two side bars.
  • Another very advantageous development of the invention is also the fact that the barrier has a trapezoidal cross-section.
  • the barrier is designed to be elastic at least in its upper region.
  • the barrier has at least one sealing lip at its upper end.
  • Another very advantageous development of the invention lies in the fact that the barrier projects beyond the side bars.
  • a very advantageous development of the invention is also to be seen in that for each insertion of the connector at least one lock is provided.
  • the barrier is arranged in each case between two openings of the bottom surface.
  • the side bars are adapted at least in the upper region of the contour of the hollow profile to be joined.
  • outer webs in the upper region have outwardly facing lamellae, which are able to be applied to the inside of the hollow profile.
  • Another very vorteulhafte embodiment of the invention is also to be seen in the lamellae are directed in the insertion direction to the rear.
  • a U-connector for connecting two hollow sections referred to which is composed of a bottom surface 2 and two arranged on the longitudinal edges of the bottom surface 2 side webs 3.
  • the bottom surface 2 is interrupted by a plurality of recesses 4.
  • the connector 1 has a U-shaped profile in the transverse direction. The bottom surface 2 and the side webs 3 together form the U-shaped profile of the connector.
  • inclined slats 6 are arranged, which are able to support on the inner sides of the narrow sides of the hollow profiles.
  • the lamellae 6 can be designed to be resilient, whereby they create very tight against the insides, thereby compensate for width tolerances of the hollow sections and prevent Hin tellfliesen a desiccant or molecular sieve between the side bars and the inner sides of the narrow sides of the hollow sections.
  • a center stop 7 and 8 is provided on the outer side 5, wherein the center stop 7 is provided for the first hollow profile and the middle stop 8 for the second hollow profile.
  • a compensation element 9 is provided in each case, which is resilient and on the one hand prevents wobbling of the connector 1 in the hollow sections and on the other hand compensate for width tolerances of the hollow sections.
  • each two adjacent lamellae 6 -herein referred to as 6a and 6b- can be provided on each side of the U-connector 1 and for each of the two hollow sections, a sealing element 10, on the one hand again the cavity between the side bars 3 and the inner sides of the narrow sides of Seals hollow sections and on the other hand stiffened the two adjacent lamellae 6a and 6b, thus ensuring a better conditioning of the two blades 6a and 6b on the hollow profile.
  • the barrier 11 is arranged so that it is mounted in each case between two adjacent recesses 4 of the bottom surface 2.
  • the barrier 11 may be formed trapezoidal in cross section, as in Fig. 4 is shown.
  • the barrier 11 projects beyond the side bars 3 minimally, whereby a better seal between the barrier 11 and the hollow profile is achieved. It is also conceivable that, in particular with appropriate design of the hollow profiles, the lock 11 may also be designed as high as the side bars 3.
  • At least one sealing lip is provided at the upper end of the barrier 11, which is capable of sealing the contact point between the barrier 11 and the hollow profile.
  • the barrier 11 is elastic and thus ensures a very good adaptability to the hollow sections. It is also conceivable that not shown reinforcements are provided especially in the lower region of the lock 11, which allow a targeted influence on the stability and deformability of the barrier.
  • a plurality of elevations 12 are provided along the longitudinal edges. These elevations 12 are based on the broad side of the hollow sections.
  • the elevations 12 can each on the in the insertion of the Connector 1 front side flattened and be designed as a ramp.
  • the rear in the insertion direction side of the elevations 12, however, is designed to be sloping perpendicular to the bottom surface 2, whereby easy insertion is possible, but still a good entanglement of the surveys on even the smallest bumps on the inside of the hollow section is possible.
  • the elevations 12 may also be resilient and / or extend over the entire width of the bottom surface 2 to compensate for variations in height of the hollow profile and to ensure a good seal between the bottom surface and hollow profile.
  • lamellar webs 13 which are also able to support on the inside of the hollow sections. These webs 13 may be formed plastically and elastically deformable or springy and may also serve the seal.
  • the longitudinal side webs 3 are according to a in Fig. 7 illustrated embodiment of the invention in the upper surface facing away from the bottom surface 2 inwardly bevelled.
  • outwardly projecting fins 14 may be provided, which are able to support with its loose end on the inside of the hollow profile and thus prevent a flow of desiccant between the connector 1 and the inner wall of the hollow profile.
  • the lamellae 14 may be inclined relative to the insertion direction and they may be formed elastically deformable.
