Definitions

  • the invention relates to a connecting element for sheet piles according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • connecting elements are used for connecting sheet piles, of which a sheet pile wall is constructed. Often the connecting elements are used to connect the connecting elements of the respective last ends of the sheet piles of two sheet piles, extending at an angle to each other. Examples of such fasteners are the German patent application DE-A1-39 07 348 refer to.
  • the connecting elements described therein serve for connection to so-called larssen sheet piles or sheet piles of the button-claw type.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a connecting element that can be used for sound boards of different manufacturers and in which it is nevertheless ensured that in particular the high forces can be collected in the low ramming of the connecting elements and the sheet piles.
  • the connecting element has a central strip and two hook strips extending therefrom, which together form a cross-sectionally C-shaped claw strip.
  • the ends of the hook strips face each other and define with their ends an open mouth. Furthermore, the extended centerlines of the ends of the hook strips intersect outside of the open mouth.
  • From the claw bar is at least one terminal block, which has a straight neck bar and a cross-sectionally oval header, wherein the main axis of the cross-sectionally oval header is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the neck bar.
  • the connecting element according to the invention is used, in particular, for interconnecting sheet piles with ball socket connections.
  • the claw strip serves to receive the ball connection of the sheet pile, while the socket connection of the sheet pile is brought into engagement with the terminal strip of the connecting element according to the invention.
  • the inventive design of the claw bar facilitates the insertion of the sheet pile with its ball connection in the claw strip, since the mouth of the claw strip by the inventive course of the two hook strips to each other, according to which the two center lines intersect outside the mouth of the claw strip, extended is.
  • a jumping out of the ball connection from the claw bar is prevented by the inventive design of the two hook strips during low rams, since the hook strips include the introduced into the claw bar ball connection of the sheet pile far, however, any evasive movements of the ball connection and the claw bar to each other not hinder.
  • the hook strips can absorb the high forces arising during low rams and divert them to the center strip.
  • the sheet piles are connected to each other so that the claw strip and the terminal strips compensate for any evasive movements of the sheet piles with each other during low ramming.
  • the connecting element in an alternative embodiment of the connecting element according to the invention two cross-sectionally C-shaped claw strips and a terminal block are provided. This also makes it possible to connect three sheet piles together.
  • the central strip of the first C-shaped claw strip at least partially forms one of the two hook strips of the second C-shaped claw strip.
  • the second C-shaped claw strip is preferably formed on the connecting element such that the axis of symmetry of the second claw strip extends at least approximately at right angles to the axis of symmetry of the first claw strip, whereby sheet piles extending approximately at right angles to one another can be connected to one another.
  • the inner and outer contours of the cross section of the connecting element according to the invention are achieved in the region of the claw strip or the claw strips and the terminal block or the terminal strips preferably by a juxtaposition of circular arcs.
  • Fig. 1 the end face of a first embodiment of a connecting element 10 according to the invention is shown.
  • the connecting element 10 is formed as a longitudinal profile with a constant cross-sectional shape and has a length which corresponds to the length of the sheet piles with which the connecting element 10 is to be connected.
  • the connecting element 10 has a cross-sectionally C-shaped claw strip 12, which is formed from a central strip 14 and two hook strips 16 and 18.
  • the central strip 14 merges into the hook strips 16 and 18 and forms together with these the C-shaped claw strip 12.
  • the ends of the hook strips 16 and 18 face each other and define an open mouth 20.
  • the central strip 14 and the hook strips 16 and 18 have substantially the same thickness and extend to each other such that the C-shaped claw strip 12 has an approximately oval in cross-section interior 22.
  • the cross section of the claw strip 12 is mirror-symmetrical to an axis of symmetry 24 drawn through the center of the open mouth 20 and the middle of the central strip 14. If the center lines 26 and 28 of the hook strips 16 and 18 are lengthened, then these center lines 26 and 28 intersect on the axis of symmetry 24 of the claw strip 12 at an intersection point S outside the open mouth 20.
  • the distance of the intersection point S corresponds approximately to half to that one and a half times the thickness of the hook strips 16 and 18 and the central strip 14th
  • the connecting element 10 further includes a terminal block 30 which is formed as a continuation of the central strip 14 of the claw strip 12.
  • the terminal block 30 has a straight neck strip 32 and an adjoining head strip 34.
  • the neck strip 32 has a length in the direction of its longitudinal axis 36 viewed from about one to two times the thickness of the central strip 14.
  • the head strip 34 is oval in cross section, the main axis 38th of the oval runs at right angles to the longitudinal axis 36 of the neck strip 32.
  • the width of the oval viewed in the direction of the main axis 38 of the oval of the head strip 34 corresponds approximately to twice or three times the thickness of the neck strip 32nd
  • FIG. 2 is in front view the front side of a modification of the in Fig. 1 shown connecting element 10 is shown.
  • the terminal block 42 extends with the longitudinal axis 44 of its neck strip 46 at an angle ⁇ of about 45 ° inclined to the longitudinal axis 48 of the central bar 50. This ensures that sheet piles are connected at a predetermined angle of 45 ° in the present case can.
  • Fig. 3 shows in front view the end face of a second modification of the in Fig. 1
  • the terminal block 62 is integrally formed by an intermediate strip 64 to the center bar 66 of the C-shaped claw bar 68.
  • the longitudinal axis 70 of the neck strip 72 of the terminal block 62 in this case extends at an angle ⁇ of about 45 ° inclined to the longitudinal axis 74 of the intermediate strip 64.
  • the intermediate strip 64 it is possible to connect two sheet piles at an acute angle to each other.
  • FIG. 4 is the front view of a second embodiment of a modified connecting element 80 shown that, like the first embodiment according to the Fig. 1 a C-shaped claw strip 82 and a first terminal block 84 has.
  • the dimensions of these components are the same as those of the components of Fig. 1 shown connecting element 10th
  • connection element 80 a second connection strip 86 is provided, which is designed like the first connection strip 84 and has a neck strip 88 and a head strip 90.
