Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Verbinder zur Herstellung einer Stoßverbindung zwischen Pfosten und Riegel, z.B. Pfosten und Riegel aus Holz, wobei sich der Verbinder im Einsatz in einer am Riegel oder am Pfosten vorgesehenen Ausnehmung befindet und zwei Verbinderteile umfasst gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The present invention relates to a connector for producing a butt joint between posts and bars, e.g. Wooden posts and bars, wherein the connector is in use in a recess provided on the latch or on the post and comprises two connector parts according to the preamble of claim 1.

Aus der DE 102 37 802 A1 ist ein Verbinder gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 bekannt. Er umfasst zwei G-förmige Profile, von denen eines um 180° axial verdreht mit Spiel in das andere eingesetzt ist. Das eine G-förmige Profil ist in einer stirnseitigen Ausnehmung am Ende des Riegelprofils eingelassen. Zur Montage des Riegels am Pfosten muss der Riegel samt dem eingelassenen G-förmigen Profil quer in das am Pfosten vormontierte G-förmige Profil aufgeschoben werden. Dies ist bei in der Praxis oft vorkommenden, beengten Platzverhältnissen mitunter schwierig.From the DE 102 37 802 A1 a connector according to the preamble of claim 1 is known. It comprises two G-shaped profiles, one of which is inserted through 180 ° axially twisted with play in the other. The one G-shaped profile is embedded in a frontal recess at the end of the bar profile. To install the bolt on the post, the bolt together with the recessed G-shaped profile must be pushed transversely into the pre-assembled on the post G-shaped profile. This is sometimes difficult in practice, often occurring in confined spaces.

Die DE 39 18 676 betrifft eine Profilverbindung für Balken und Wände mit zwei mit Zähnen versehenen Eingriffshälften, die miteinander lösbar kuppelbar sind. Die beiden Eingriffshälften sind gleichförmig ausgebildet und bilden in um 180° zueinander verdrehter Montagestellung eine kreisförmige Öffnung, in der ein zylinderförmiges Spannschloss angeordnet ist.The DE 39 18 676 relates to a profile connection for beams and walls with two teeth provided with engagement halves, which are releasably coupled together. The two engagement halves are uniform and form in 180 ° to each other rotated mounting position, a circular opening in which a cylindrical turnbuckle is arranged.

Aus der DE 195 06 580 A1 ist ein aus zwei U-Schienen bestehender Verbinder bekannt. In montiertem Zustand von Pfosten und Riegel greifen die beiden U-Schienen ineinander und bilden einen gemeinsamen Hohlraum, der mittels eines in seinem Durchmesser veränderbaren Spannstifts ausgefüllt wird und Pfosten und Riegel direkt gegeneinander verspannt werden. Die Abstützung der Last beim Einwirken eines Drehmoments erfolgt in erster Linie an den Kontaktflächen von Pfosten sowie Stirnseite des Riegels.From the DE 195 06 580 A1 is known from two U-rails connector. In the assembled state of posts and bars, the two U-rails engage with each other and form a common cavity which is filled by means of a diameter-changeable clamping pin and posts and bars are braced directly against each other. The support of the load during The effect of a torque occurs primarily at the contact surfaces of the post and the front side of the bolt.

Aus der DE 198 49 152 C2 ist eine Pfosten-Riegelverbindung für eine Verbindung bestehend aus Pfostenprofilen und Riegelprofilen bekannt. Hierbei wird eine Montageplatte mit einem stirnseitig offenen Hohlkanal am Pfosten befestigt. Ein am Riegel befestigter Montageverbinder greift in den Hohlkanal an der Montageplatte ein und wird über seitlich eingebrachte Spannstifte zur Montageplatte hin verspannt. Für die Herstellung einer Stoßverbindung aus Holz bestehender Pfosten und Riegel ist diese Konstruktion nicht geeignet.From the DE 198 49 152 C2 is a mullion-transom connection for a compound consisting of post profiles and transom profiles known. Here, a mounting plate is attached to the post with a frontally open hollow channel. A mounted on the bolt mounting connector engages in the hollow channel on the mounting plate and is clamped on laterally introduced dowel pins to the mounting plate out. For the production of a butt joint made of wood existing posts and bars, this construction is not suitable.

Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht darin, einen neuartigen Verbinder zu schaffen, der eine vom Montagevorgang her einfache Montage bei gleichzeitig sicherer Verbindung gewährleistet. Darüber hinaus soll der Verbinder einfach und kostengünstig herstellbar sein und sich auch für den Einsatz bei Pfosten und/oder Riegeln aus Holz gut eignen.The object of the present invention is to provide a novel connector which ensures a simple assembly from the assembly process at the same time secure connection. In addition, the connector should be easy and inexpensive to produce and well suited for use with posts and / or bars made of wood.

Die vorliegende Aufgabe wird beim gattungsgemäßen Verbinder durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Hierdurch wird mindestens ein über die gesamte Länge der Ebene der gemeinsamen Kontaktfläche der beiden Verbinderteile verlaufender Schraubkanal geschaffen, mittels dem die Verspannung durch seitliches Einschrauben einer Gewindeschraube in einfacher Weise vorgenommen werden kann. Beim Anliegen eines Drehmoments am Riegel wird aufgrund der erfindungsgemäßen Konstruktion der größte Teil der auftretenden Last von dem am Pfosten befindlichen Verbinderteil abgestützt und das Pfostenmaterial damit geschont. Aufgrund der Verbindung über den Stift und den Kanal muss zum einen keine exakte Montageposition am Pfosten bzw. Riegel eingehalten werden, zum anderen hat der Monteur aufgrund der Längsverschiebbarkeit der beiden Verbinderteile zueinander erhebliche Variationsmöglichkeiten bei der Montage. Auch kann bei Bedarf die Verbindung nötigenfalls wieder in einfacher Weise demontiert werden. Dadurch, dass das jeweilige Verbinderteil einen plattenartigen Grundkörper aufweist und der jeweilige Vorsprung den plattenartigen Grundkörper in Richtung zum benachbarten Verbinderteil überragt, eignet sich die Konstruktion insbesondere für die Verbindung von Pfosten und Riegeln aus Holz. Darüber hinaus gewährleistet die Erfindung aufgrund der konstruktiven Ausgestaltung, wie sie eingangs beschrieben worden ist, dass ein am Riegel stirnseitig befestigtes Verbinderteil in das betreffende Verbinderteil am Pfosten - und zwar jeweils am Pfosten bzw. Riegel montierten Zustand - eingehängt werden kann. Die Montage kann daher auch bei sehr beengten Platzverhältnissen durchgeführt werden, da ein seitliches Einschieben nicht erforderlich ist.The present object is achieved in the generic connector by the characterizing features of claim 1. As a result, at least one extending over the entire length of the plane of the common contact surface of the two connector parts screw channel is created by means of which the tension can be made by screwing a threaded screw laterally in a simple manner. When a torque is applied to the bolt, the largest part of the load occurring is supported by the connector part located on the post due to the construction according to the invention and the post material is thus protected. Due to the connection via the pin and the channel, on the one hand, no exact mounting position on the post or bolt must be adhered to, on the other hand, the installer due to the longitudinal displacement of the two connector parts to each other considerable variations in the assembly. Also, if necessary, the connection, if necessary, again in a simple Be dismantled. Characterized in that the respective connector part has a plate-like base body and the respective projection projects beyond the plate-like base body in the direction of the adjacent connector part, the construction is particularly suitable for the connection of posts and bars made of wood. In addition, the invention ensures due to the structural design, as has been described above, that a bolt on the front side fixed connector part in the relevant connector part on the post - in each case mounted on the post or latch state - can be hung. The assembly can therefore be carried out even in very tight spaces, as a lateral insertion is not required.

Aufgrund der Abstützung über gemeinsame Stützflächen wird das Material des Pfostens sowie Riegels entlastet.Due to the support on common support surfaces, the material of the post and bolt is relieved.

Idealerweise befinden sich die Stützflächen - in Querrichtung zur Längsachse des Verbinders betrachtet - im Bereich des jeweiligen Rands der Verbinderteile.Ideally, the support surfaces - viewed in the transverse direction to the longitudinal axis of the connector - in the region of the respective edge of the connector parts.

Das Einhängen wird noch dadurch erleichtert, dass das der Richtung der vorkragenden Vorsprünge abgewandte Ende des jeweiligen Verbinderteils, beispielsweise aufgrund einer Abschrägung, Rundung oder dergleichen, sich verjüngt.The hanging is further facilitated by the fact that the direction of the protruding projections facing away from the end of the respective connector part, for example, due to a chamfer, rounding or the like, tapers.

Dadurch, dass das der Richtung der vorkragenden Vorsprünge zugewandte Ende des jeweiligen Verbinderteils abgeschrägt oder abgerundet ist, kann der Riegel in einfacher Weise ohne Verhakung oder Beschädigung des Riegelmaterials in Position gebracht werden.Characterized in that the direction of the protruding projections facing the end of the respective connector part is chamfered or rounded, the bolt can be brought into a simple manner without entanglement or damage of the bolt material in position.

Zweckmäßigerweise greift der jeweilige Vorsprung formschlüssig in die betreffende Ausnehmung am gegenüberliegenden Verbinderteil ein. Hierdurch bewirkt der Verbinder eine besonders drehfeste, d.h. wirksame Fixierung.Conveniently, the respective projection engages positively in the respective recess on the opposite connector part. As a result, the connector causes a particularly rotationally fixed, ie effective fixation.

Aufgrund der Konstruktion des erfindungsgemäßen Verbinders ist dieser auch dahingehend einfach abzuwandeln, dass die beiden Verbinderteile im zusammengefügten Zustand zueinander verschwenkbar sind. Hierdurch kann auch eine andere als 90°-Verbindung von Pfosten und Riegel in einfacher Weise erfolgen.Due to the construction of the connector according to the invention this is also easy to modify in that the two connector parts are mutually pivotable in the assembled state. As a result, other than 90 ° connection of posts and bars can be done in a simple manner.

Dadurch, dass die beiden Verbinderteile im zusammengefügten Zustand des Verbinders zueinander verschwenkbar sind, ist es möglich, Riegelptisitionen in Winkelstellungen ungleich 90° zu verwirklichen.Due to the fact that the two connector parts can be pivoted relative to one another in the assembled state of the connector, it is possible to realize bolt tilting in angular positions not equal to 90 °.

Zweckmäßigerweise sind hierzu die vorkragenden Vorsprünge und die Ausnehmungen kreisabschnittförmig ausgebildet.Appropriately, for this purpose, the protruding projections and the recesses are formed in a circular section.

Eine alternative Ausgestaltung ist darin gekennzeichnet, dass die Außenseite des jeweiligen Vorsprungs parallel zur Rückseite, d.h. Rückwand, des Verbinderteils verläuft, wodurch ein bewegungsfester Sitz der beiden Verbinderteile zueinander gewährleistet ist.An alternative embodiment is characterized in that the outside of the respective projection parallel to the back, i. Rear wall, the connector part extends, whereby a motion-proof seat of the two connector parts is guaranteed to each other.

Dadurch, dass das jeweilige Verbinderteil im Innenbereich des vorkragenden Vorsprungs eine Erhebung aufweist, sind je Kanal bzw. Schraubkanal zwei Erhebungen vorgesehen, die durch das Gewinde einer Schraube geschnitten werden, Hierdurch werden Verschiebungen der Verbinder zueinander in Quer- sowie Längsrichtung verhindert.Because the respective connector part has an elevation in the inner region of the projecting projection, two elevations per channel or screw channel are provided, which are cut by the thread of a screw. As a result, displacements of the connectors relative to one another in the transverse and longitudinal direction are prevented.

Ferner kann das jeweilige Verbinderteil im Bereich der Rückseite, d.h. Rückwand, mindestens einen, vorzugsweise mindestens zwei Haltevorsprünge aufweisen, die bewirken, dass beim Befestigen durch das Einpressen der Verbinderteile in das Material des Pfostens bzw, Riegels verhindert wird, dass die Verbinderteile bei außermittiger Last am Riegel sich verdrehen können.Furthermore, the respective connector part in the region of the back, i. Rear wall, at least one, preferably at least two holding projections, which cause that when fastening by the press-fitting of the connector parts in the material of the post or, bar is prevented, that the connector parts can rotate with off-center load on the bolt.

Fig. 1 zeigt in perspektivischer Darstellungsweise (Fig. 1A) eine Stoßverbindung von einem Riegel 30, z.B. einem Riegel aus Holz, mit einem Pfosten 20, z.B. Pfosten aus Holz. Der Riegel 30 besitzt an seinem Ende eine Ausnehmung 24, z.B. Ausfräsung, die zur Stirnseite sowie zu einer Seitenfläche des Riegels 30 von außen zugänglich ist. Fig. 1 shows in perspective representation ( Fig. 1A ) a butt joint of a bolt 30, such as a bolt made of wood, with a post 20, eg posts made of wood. The bolt 30 has at its end a recess 24, For example, cutout, which is accessible to the front and to a side surface of the bolt 30 from the outside.

In dieser Ausnehmung 24 befindet sich ein Verbinder 10, welcher aus zwei Verbinderteilen 1, 2 hergestellt ist.In this recess 24 is a connector 10 which is made of two connector parts 1, 2.

Wie aus Fig. 1B deutlich wird, ist der Verbinderteil 1 über mehrere Befestigungsschrauben 22 am Pfosten 20 montiert, wohingegen der Verbinderteil 2 über mehrere Befestigungsschrauben 23 am Riegel 30 montiert ist.How out Fig. 1B becomes clear, the connector part 1 is mounted on the post 20 via a plurality of fastening screws 22, whereas the connector part 2 is mounted on the bolt 30 via a plurality of fastening screws 23.

Das jeweilige Verbinderteil 1 bzw. 2 ist plattenartig ausgebildet. Etwa in der Mitte der Vorderseite des jeweiligen Verbinderteils 1, 2 befindet sich - wie auch aus Fig. 2A ersichtlich - je ein vorkragender Vorsprung 3 bzw. 4 sowie eine entsprechende Ausnehmung 5 bzw. 6.The respective connector part 1 or 2 is plate-like. Approximately in the middle of the front of each connector part 1, 2 is - as well as off Fig. 2A visible - depending on a projecting projection 3 and 4 and a corresponding recess 5 and 6, respectively.

Im zusammengesetzten Zustand greift der jeweils vorgesehene Vorsprung 3 bzw. 4 in die Ausnehmung 5 bzw. 6 des gegenüberliegenden Verbinderteils ein, wodurch gleichzeitig ein Zwischenraum zwischen den Vorsprüngen 3, 4 entsteht, der als Kanal 7, insbesondere als Schraubkanal, verwendet wird, in dem ein Stift 8, insbesondere eine Schraube, in den Kanal 7 eingedreht wird, wodurch die beiden Verbinderteile 1, 2 zueinander verspannt, d.h. fixiert, werden.In the assembled state, the respectively provided projection 3 or 4 engages in the recess 5 or 6 of the opposite connector part, whereby at the same time a gap between the projections 3, 4 is formed, which is used as a channel 7, in particular as a screw, in the a pin 8, in particular a screw is screwed into the channel 7, whereby the two connector parts 1, 2 clamped to each other, ie be fixed.

Im montierten Zustand, vgl. hierzu Fig. 1B, liegen die Verbinderteile 1 und 2 unmittelbar aneinander.Aufgrund dessen wirken die Vorderflächen der Verbinderteile 1, 2 als Stützflächen 9, wodurch beim Auftreten eines lastbedingten Drehmoments am Riegel die Last über die Stützfläche 9 großflächig vom Verbinderteil 2 des Riegels 30 auf das Verbinderteil 1 des Pfostens 20 abgeleitet und großflächig in den Pfosten 20 eingeleitet wird.In the assembled state, cf. For this Fig. 1B Due to this, the front surfaces of the connector parts 1, 2 act as support surfaces 9, whereby the load on the support surface 9 over a large area from the connector part 2 of the bolt 30 to the connector part 1 of the Post 20 derived and introduced into the post 20 over a large area.

Die Form der Ausnehmung 5, 6 ist hierbei so gewählt, dass im zusammengesetzten Zustand des Verbinders 10 der jeweilige Vorsprung formschlüssig in die Ausnehmung 5, 6 eingreift.The shape of the recess 5, 6 is in this case selected so that in the assembled state of the connector 10 of the respective projection positively engages in the recess 5, 6.

Wie aus Fig. 1A sowie 1B deutlich wird, besitzen die Verbindungsteile 1 und 2 eine identische Querschnittsfläche. Daraus resultiert der Vorteil, dass die Verbindungsteile 1, 2 über ein einziges, herzustellendes Profil produziert werden können.How out Fig. 1A 1B, the connecting parts 1 and 2 have an identical cross-sectional area. This results in the advantage that the connecting parts 1, 2 can be produced via a single profile to be produced.

Gemäß Fig. 2A befindet sich im Inneren der Ausnehmung 5, an der Innenseite des vorkragenden Vorsprungs 3 eine linienförmige Erhebung 11, die während der Montage von der Befestigungsschraube 8 mittels deren Schraubengang verformt wird. Hierdurch wird eine besonders sichere Verbindung zwischen den beiden Verbindungsteilen 1, 2 und der Befestigungsschraube gewährleistet.According to Fig. 2A is located inside the recess 5, on the inside of the projecting projection 3, a line-shaped elevation 11, which is deformed during assembly of the fastening screw 8 by means of their screw thread. As a result, a particularly secure connection between the two connecting parts 1, 2 and the fastening screw is ensured.

Dieses Verbinderteil 1 bzw. 2 umfasst, vgl. die Fig. 2B sowie 2C, eine Mehrzahl von Bohrungen 18, insbesondere sogenannte Senkbohrungen, zur Aufnahme der Schraubköpfe der Befestigungsschrauben 23. Die Bohrungen 18 sind beidseitig gegenüberliegend, versetzt zueinander angeordnet.This connector part 1 or 2 comprises, cf. the Fig. 2B and 2C, a plurality of holes 18, in particular so-called countersunk holes, for receiving the screw heads of the fastening screws 23. The holes 18 are opposite to each other, offset from each other.

Der Endbereich des jeweiligen Verbinderteils 1 bzw. 2 ist mit einer ausgeprägten Abschrägung 21 versehen, deren Funktion zu einem nachfolgenden Zeitpunkt näher beschrieben wird.The end region of the respective connector part 1 or 2 is provided with a pronounced chamfer 21, the function of which will be described in detail at a subsequent time.

Die Rückwand 25 weist an zwei Stellen jeweils einen Haltevorsprung 12 auf, welcher dazu dient, eine gewisse Verdrehungssicherheit beim Einpressen der Verbinderteile in das Holz des Riegels 30 bzw. Pfostens 20 zu gewährleisten.The rear wall 25 has at two points in each case a holding projection 12, which serves to ensure a certain security against rotation when pressing the connector parts into the wood of the bolt 30 or post 20.

Die Ausnehmung 5 bzw. 6 ist so positioniert, dass durch das Zusammenwirken der beiden Verbinderteile der Kanal 7 im Bereich der oder - noch konkreter - etwa zu gleichen Teilen links und rechts der Verbindungsebene liegt.The recess 5 or 6 is positioned so that the channel 7 is in the region of or - more specifically - about equal parts left and right of the connection plane by the interaction of the two connector parts.

In Fig. 3 wird anhand mehrerer Darstellungen gezeigt, wie eine Verbindung des Riegels 30 mit dem Pfosten 20 vorgenommen werden kann.In Fig. 3 will be shown with reference to several representations, how a connection of the bolt 30 can be made with the post 20.

Durch die besondere Ausgestaltung der Verbinderteile 1, 2 ist es möglich, diese im montierten Zustand, wie dies aus der Darstellungssequenz deutlich wird, in einfacher Weise einzuhängen (in Längsrichtung des Riegels 30), gegeneinander zu verschieben und anschließend den Stift 8 bzw, die Befestigungsschraube zu positionieren. Hierdurch werden die beiden Verbinderteile 1, 2 gegeneinander verspannt und eine sichere Stoßverbindung zwischen Pfosten 20 und Riegel 30 bewirkt. Da jedes Verbinderteil 1, 2 eine gewisse Stärke aufweist, ist an der dem vorkragenden Vorsprung 3, 4 abgewandten Seite bzw. dem abgewandten Ende ein mittels einer Abschrägung 21 verjüngtes Ende vorgesehen, was den Einhakvorgang erleichtert Es ist also nicht notwendig, den Riegel 30 - sozusagen "von der Seite" - entlang der Längsrichtung des zu bildenden Kanals 7 einzuführen. Vielmehr ist es mit dem erfmdungsgcmaßen Verbinder 10 möglich, Montagen von Riegel und Pfosten auf engstem Raum durchzuführen.Due to the particular embodiment of the connector parts 1, 2, it is possible to mount them in the assembled state, as is clear from the presentation sequence, in a simple manner (in the longitudinal direction of the bolt 30), against each other and then the pin 8 or, the fastening screw to position. As a result, the two connector parts 1, 2 are braced against each other and a secure butt joint between post 20 and 30 bars causes. Since each connector part 1, 2 has a certain thickness, on the side facing away from the projecting projection 3, 4 or the opposite end of a tapered end 21 is provided by a bevel, which facilitates the hooking It is therefore not necessary, the bolt 30 - so to speak "from the side" - along the longitudinal direction of the channel 7 to be formed. Rather, it is possible with the erfmdungsgmmaßen connector 10 to perform mounting of bolt and posts in a confined space.

In Fig. 4 ist eine Bildsequenz des Einhängens des Riegels an einem Pfosten dargestellt, bei dem eine Pfosten-/Riegelstoßverbindung erzeugt werden soll, die einen Winkel von ungleich 90° aufweisen soll. Hierzu ist sowohl der jeweilige vorkragende Vorsprung 3, 4 als auch die betreffende Ausnehmung 5 kreisbogenabschnittförmig ausgebildet, mit der Folge, dass die beiden Verbinderteile 1, 2 in zusammengesetzten Zustand zueinander verschwenkbar sind. Notwendigerweise sind auch die jeweiligen Vorderseiten des betreffenden Verbinderteils 1, 2 abgeschrägt ausgebildet.In Fig. 4 a picture sequence of attaching the bolt is shown on a post, in which a mullion / transom joint is to be generated, which should have an angle not equal to 90 °. For this purpose, both the respective projecting projection 3, 4 and the respective recess 5 arc-shaped in section, with the result that the two connector parts 1, 2 in the assembled state are mutually pivotable. Necessarily, the respective front sides of the relevant connector part 1, 2 are formed chamfered.

Die Ausgestaltung gem. Fig. 4 hat somit den Vorteil, dass der darin bezeichnete Verbinder 10 Pfosten-/Riegelverbindungen von ungleich 90° ermöglicht. Allerdings ermöglicht er auch eine Pfosten-/Riegelverbindung von 90°, wie dies in dem vorletzten Bild der Bildsequenz von Fig. 4 dargestellt ist. Der Verbinder 10 gewährleistet damit ein hohes Maß an gestalterischen Variationsmöglichkeiten.The design acc. Fig. 4 thus has the advantage that the connector designated therein allows 10 post / bar connections of unequal 90 °. However, it also allows a mullion / transom connection of 90 °, as shown in the penultimate image of the image sequence of Fig. 4 is shown. The connector 10 thus ensures a high degree of creative variation options.

Fig. 5 zeigt verschiedene Ausführungsformen eines Verbinderteils zur Herstellung eines Verbinders nach der vorliegenden Erfindung. Bei den Verbinderteilen gem. Fig. 5A und 5B handelt es sich um diejenigen, die bereits in den Fig. 1-3 bzw. 4 dargestellt worden sind.

Der Verbinderteil 2 gemäß Fig. 5D besitzt zur Abstützung an seiner einen Seite einen quer verlaufenden Vorsprung sowie auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite eine entsprechende Abflachung, was bewirkt, dass die betreffende Stützfläche 19 jeweils am Ende des Verbinders 10 realisiert wird. Gleichzeitig wird hierbei ein gewisses Maß an Material eingespart.The connector part 2 according to Fig. 5D has to support on its one side a transverse projection and on the opposite side a corresponding flattening, which causes the respective support surface 19 is respectively realized at the end of the connector 10. At the same time a certain amount of material is saved.

Die Fig. 6 zeigt jeweils mögliche Ausgestaltungen von Verbinderteilen 2 zur Gewährleistung von insgesamt zwei Kanälen pro Verbinder 10. Im Gegensatz zu dem Verbinderteil gemäß Fig. 6A besitzt der Verbinderteil 2 gemäß Fig. 6B eine reduzierte Breite.The Fig. 6 shows each possible embodiments of connector parts 2 to ensure a total of two channels per connector 10. In contrast to the connector part according to Fig. 6A has the connector part 2 according to Fig. 6B a reduced width.
