Definitions
- the invention relates to a connector having the features in the preamble of the main claim.
- connectors for hollow profiles of spacers or rungs for insulating glass panes which have at least one middle wall or a bottom and one side wall.
- the side wall has a flat plate-like shape and possibly carries on the free edge region a retaining element.
- Another connector is out of the DE 92 16 955 U1 known, in which the side wall is angled inwards at the upper free edge region.
- the connector has a side wall, which seen in its longitudinal extent has a profiled outer contour with a recessed side wall portion, which may be formed differently and may have various functions.
- a profiled outer contour can be present especially in the insertion region of the connector and its legs.
- the outer contour of the side wall in cross section may have an omega shape, which is favorable for a tight contact with the adjacent profile side wall.
- the recessed sidewall region may be e.g. be designed as a wall deformation and as a recess of the side wall.
- this has the advantage that a bulging wall deformation stabilizes and reinforces the connector.
- the connector can better absorb the loads occurring in the process and in the production of insulating glass panes of the profile butt joint or the profile connection by this stabilization. This is especially true for bent and filled with a granule spacer frame, which are moved in the insulating glass pane production of robots or the like. In the room. Here the profile connection point and the connector arranged there is exposed to particularly high mechanical loads.
- Another advantage is the ability to receive an inner projection of the profile side wall in the indentation or indentation of the side wall.
- the latter can e.g. a junction, e.g. be a weld or seam of the hollow profile wall.
- Such a projection can also serve the targeted wall reinforcement of the hollow profile.
- the indentation directed towards the interior also has the advantage that adjacent side wall regions can have a flat and aligned outside, which allows a dense and planar contact of the connector side wall in the insertion position on the profile side wall. This improves the tightness of the spacer and its function in an insulating glass pane. For use of the connector in sprouts, similar benefits may arise.
- the recessed side wall portion is formed by a flat side wall outer surface, wherein the profiled outer contour is formed on base or strip-like projections which are molded or molded.

- This stiffening ribs can be bridged on the profile floor.
- the upper projecting side wall portion may have a strip shape and at the same time form the support for retaining elements.
- the side walls may have one or more transverse walls projecting transversely outward from the recessed side wall portion. These can be thin-walled and form sealing lips. Such sealing lips can be pierced when required by pushing on hollow profiles with an inside projection, where they can retain their sealing function under the projection walls.
- the connector can fill the entire hollow profile interior, in particular at the connection point.
- the or the hollow profiles can be aligned and possibly deformed profile deformations.
- an improved clamping effect and sealing effect of the connector can be achieved at the junction.
- the design also increases the mechanical stability of the connector. This is particularly advantageous for thinner connector materials. Due to the profiled side wall contour, a higher rigidity can be achieved, which is particularly advantageous in this connection region. Another advantage is also in the possible use of thin-walled connectors maintaining a large hollow profile inner chamber or a large cavity, which is for an efficient, fast and possibly subsequent filling with a desiccant beneficial.
- the formation of one or more retaining elements on the connector, in particular on its side walls and preferably on the upper free edge is for permanent locking of the connector in the hollow or the profiles of advantage.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Steckverbinder mit den Merkmalen im Oberbegriff des Hauptanspruchs.The invention relates to a connector having the features in the preamble of the main claim.
Aus der Praxis sind Steckverbinder für Hohlprofile von Abstandshaltern oder Sprossen für Isolierglasscheiben bekannt, die mindestens eine Mittelwand bzw. einen Boden und eine Seitenwand aufweisen. Die Seitenwand hat eine ebene plattenförmige Gestalt und trägt ggf. am freien Randbereich ein Rückhalteelement.In practice, connectors for hollow profiles of spacers or rungs for insulating glass panes are known, which have at least one middle wall or a bottom and one side wall. The side wall has a flat plate-like shape and possibly carries on the free edge region a retaining element.
Ein anderer Steckverbinder ist aus der
Es ist Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, einen weiter verbesserten Steckverbinder aufzuzeigen.It is an object of the present invention to provide a further improved connector.
Die Erfindung löst diese Aufgabe mit den Merkmalen im Hauptanspruch.
Der Steckverbinder weist eine Seitenwand auf, die in ihrer Längserstreckung gesehen eine profilierte Außenkontur mit einem zurückversetzten Seitenwandbereich hat, der unterschiedlich ausgebildet sein kann und verschiedene Funktionen haben kann. Eine profilierte Außenkontur kann vor allem im Einsteckbereich des Steckverbinders und seiner Schenkel vorhanden sein. Durch anschließende obere und untere Seitenwandbereiche kann die Außenkontur der Seitenwand im Querschnitt eine Omega-Form haben, was für eine dichte Anlage an der benachbarten Profilseitenwand günstig ist.The invention solves this problem with the features in the main claim.
The connector has a side wall, which seen in its longitudinal extent has a profiled outer contour with a recessed side wall portion, which may be formed differently and may have various functions. A profiled outer contour can be present especially in the insertion region of the connector and its legs. By subsequent upper and lower side wall portions, the outer contour of the side wall in cross section may have an omega shape, which is favorable for a tight contact with the adjacent profile side wall.
Der zurückversetzte Seitenwandbereich kann z.B. als Wandverformung und als Einbauchung der Seitenwand ausgebildet sein. Dies hat einerseits den Vorteil dass eine einbauchende Wandverformung den Steckverbinder stabilisiert und verstärkt. Dies ist insbesondere bei dünnwandigen Steckverbindern von Vorteil. Außerdem kann der Steckverbinder durch diese Stabilisierung die beim Prozess und bei der Herstellung von Isolierglasscheiben auftretenden Belastungen der Profilstoßstelle bzw. der Profilverbindung besser aufnehmen. Dies gilt insbesondere bei gebogenen und mit einem Granulat befüllten Abstandhalterrahmen, die bei der Isolierglasscheibenfertigung von Robotern oder dgl. im Raum bewegt werden. Hier wird die Profilverbindungsstelle und der dort angeordnete Steckverbinder besonders hohen mechanischen Belastungen ausgesetzt.The recessed sidewall region may be e.g. be designed as a wall deformation and as a recess of the side wall. On the one hand, this has the advantage that a bulging wall deformation stabilizes and reinforces the connector. This is particularly advantageous for thin-walled connectors. In addition, the connector can better absorb the loads occurring in the process and in the production of insulating glass panes of the profile butt joint or the profile connection by this stabilization. This is especially true for bent and filled with a granule spacer frame, which are moved in the insulating glass pane production of robots or the like. In the room. Here the profile connection point and the connector arranged there is exposed to particularly high mechanical loads.
Ein weiterer Vorteil ist die Möglichkeit, in der Einbauchung oder Einbuchtung der Seitenwand einen inneren Vorsprung der Profilseitenwand aufzunehmen. Letzterer kann z.B. eine Verbindungsstelle, z.B. eine Schweiß- oder Rollnaht der Hohlprofilwandung sein. Ein solcher Vorsprung kann auch der gezielten Wandverstärkung des Hohlprofils dienen.Another advantage is the ability to receive an inner projection of the profile side wall in the indentation or indentation of the side wall. The latter can e.g. a junction, e.g. be a weld or seam of the hollow profile wall. Such a projection can also serve the targeted wall reinforcement of the hollow profile.
Die zum Innenraum gerichtete Einbauchung hat außerdem den Vorteil, dass angrenzende Seitenwandbereiche eine ebene und fluchtende Außenseite haben können, die eine dichte und flächige Anlage der Verbinderseitenwand in der Einsteckstellung an der Profilseitenwand ermöglicht. Dies verbessert die Dichtheit des Abstandhalters und dessen Funktion in einer Isolierglasscheibe. Für einen Einsatz des Steckverbinders in Sprossen können sich ähnliche Vorteile ergeben.The indentation directed towards the interior also has the advantage that adjacent side wall regions can have a flat and aligned outside, which allows a dense and planar contact of the connector side wall in the insertion position on the profile side wall. This improves the tightness of the spacer and its function in an insulating glass pane. For use of the connector in sprouts, similar benefits may arise.
In einer anderen vorteilhaften Ausführungsform, die sich besonders für Kunststoffverbinder eignet, wird der zurück versetzte Seitenwandbereich von einer ebenen Seitenwand-Außenfläche gebildet, wobei die profilierte Außenkontur über sockel- oder leistenartige Vorsprünge gebildet wird, die angeformt oder angespritzt sind. Der untere Seitenwandbereich kann unter Bildung der besagten mehreren Sockel unterbrochen sein, wobei die Sockel zugleich Füße zur Abstützung des Steckverbinders (1) bilden und in den unteren Eckbereichen des Hohlprofils eingreifen, was insbesondere für ein dünnwandiges Hohlprofil, insbesondere ein Warm-Edge-Profil, zu dessen Stabilisierung vorteilhaft ist. Hierbei können auch versteifende Rippen am Profilboden überbrückt werden. Der obere vorspringende Seitenwandbereich kann eine Leistenform haben und zugleich den Träger für Rückhalteelemente bilden. Die Seitenwände können eine odere mehrere vom zurück versetzten Seitenwandbereich quer nach außen abstehende Querwände aufweisen. Diese können dünnwandig ausgebildet sein und Dichtlippen bilden. Derartige Dichtlippen können bedarfsweise beim Aufschieben von Hohlprofilen mit einem innenseitigen Vorsprung durchstoßen werden, wobei sie ihre Dichtfunktion unter Anlage an die Vorsprungwände behalten können.In another advantageous embodiment, which is particularly suitable for plastic connectors, the recessed side wall portion is formed by a flat side wall outer surface, wherein the profiled outer contour is formed on base or strip-like projections which are molded or molded. The lower side wall portion may be interrupted to form the said plurality of pedestals, wherein the base also form feet for supporting the connector (1) and engage in the lower corner regions of the hollow profile, which is particularly suitable for a thin-walled hollow profile, in particular a warm-edge profile, advantageous for its stabilization. This stiffening ribs can be bridged on the profile floor. The upper projecting side wall portion may have a strip shape and at the same time form the support for retaining elements. The side walls may have one or more transverse walls projecting transversely outward from the recessed side wall portion. These can be thin-walled and form sealing lips. Such sealing lips can be pierced when required by pushing on hollow profiles with an inside projection, where they can retain their sealing function under the projection walls.
Der Steckverbinder kann den gesamten Hohlprofilinnenraum ausfüllen, insbesondere an der Verbindungsstelle. Hierdurch können das oder die Hohlprofile ausgerichtet und evtl. Profilverformungen korrigiert werden. Ferner kann eine verbesserte Klemmwirkung und Dichtwirkung des Steckverbinders an der Verbindungsstelle erreicht werden. Insgesamt erhöht sich durch die Gestaltung außerdem die mechanische Stabilität des Steckverbinders. Dies ist speziell bei dünneren Verbindermaterialien von Vorteil. Durch die profilierte Seitenwandkontur kann eine höhere Steifigkeit erzielt werden, die besonders in diesem Verbindungsbereich von Vorteil ist. Ein weiterer Vorteil ist auch bei dem möglichen Einsatz dünnwandiger Steckverbinder die Beibehaltung einer großen Hohlprofil-Innenkammer bzw. eines großen Hohlraums, was für eine effiziente, schnelle und ggf. nachträgliche Befüllung mit einem Trockenmittel von Vorteil ist. Die Ausbildung von einem oder mehreren Rückhalteelementen am Steckverbinder, insbesondere an dessen Seitenwänden und bevorzugt an deren oberem freien Rand ist zur dauerhaften Arretierung des Steckverbinders in dem oder den Hohlprofilen von Vorteil. Außerdem kann hierdurch schützend, führend und ggf. richtend in das Profildach oder den Profilrücken oder auch in die Profilseitenwand eingegriffen werden, wodurch sich ein besonders gutes Zusammenwirken des Steckverbinders mit dem Hohlprofil ergibt. Insbesondere ist es dabei möglich, das Breitenmaß des Hohlprofils an der Verbindungsstelle gezielt etwas auszuweiten.The connector can fill the entire hollow profile interior, in particular at the connection point. As a result, the or the hollow profiles can be aligned and possibly deformed profile deformations. Furthermore, an improved clamping effect and sealing effect of the connector can be achieved at the junction. Overall, the design also increases the mechanical stability of the connector. This is particularly advantageous for thinner connector materials. Due to the profiled side wall contour, a higher rigidity can be achieved, which is particularly advantageous in this connection region. Another advantage is also in the possible use of thin-walled connectors maintaining a large hollow profile inner chamber or a large cavity, which is for an efficient, fast and possibly subsequent filling with a desiccant beneficial. The formation of one or more retaining elements on the connector, in particular on its side walls and preferably on the upper free edge is for permanent locking of the connector in the hollow or the profiles of advantage. In addition, this can be intervened protectively, leader and possibly judging in the profile roof or the profile back or in the profile side wall, resulting in a particularly good interaction of the connector with the hollow profile. In particular, it is possible to selectively expand the width dimension of the hollow profile at the connection point.

Hierdurch oder aus anderen Gründen kann an einer Profilseitenwand (25) der nach innen gerichtete Vorsprung (26) entstehen. An der Außenseite (14) kann das Hohlprofil (21) eine ebene Seitenwandfläche zur Anlage an der Einzelscheibe aufweisen. Der Profilboden (25') kann eben sein. Er kann alternativ profiliert sein, wobei er z.B. eine oder mehrere Reihen erhabener Perforationen (24) gemäß
Das Hohlprofil (21) und ggf. der Steckverbinder (1) können eine Füllung (27) aufweisen, die z.B. aus einem Feuchte absorbierenden Granulat besteht und die über Perforationen (24) im Profilboden (25') eine Verbindung zum Scheibeninnenraum (23) hat.The hollow profile (21) and possibly the connector (1) may have a filling (27), for example, consists of a moisture-absorbing granules and the perforations (24) in the profile bottom (25 ') a connection to Disc interior (23) has.
Der Steckverbinder (1) besitzt zwei Schenkel (34,35), mit denen er in zwei Hohlprofile (21) eingesteckt wird, die dann an einer Verbindungsstelle (5) zusammenstoßen oder zumindest eng benachbart sind. Die Verbindungsstelle (5) stellt in der bevorzugten Ausführungsform gleichzeitig in Verbinderlängsrichtung gesehen dessen Mitte dar. An den Schenkeln (34,35) ist der zum Einführen in die Hohlprofile (1) vorgesehene Einsteckbereich (36) angeordnet. Bei einem Geradverbinder fluchten die Schenkel (34,35) miteinander. Bei einem Eckwinkel sind sie in einem von 180° abweichenden Winkel, z.B. von 90°, zueinander ausgerichtet.
Bei einer Ausbildung als Geradverbinder kann der Abstandshalterrahmen z.B. aus einem einzelnen und entsprechend der Scheibenform gebogenen Hohlprofil (21) bestehen, welches an der Stoßstelle oder Verbindungsstelle (5) der Profilstirnseiten einen eingesteckten Geradverbinder bzw. Steckverbinder (1) aufweist. Die nachfolgenden Erläuterungen zum Geradverbinder gelten entsprechend auch für die Variante eines Eckwinkels.When designed as a straight connector, the spacer frame may be e.g. consist of a single and corresponding to the disc shape curved hollow profile (21), which at the joint or junction (5) of the profile end faces an inserted straight connector or connector (1). The following explanations for the straight connector also apply accordingly to the variant of a corner bracket.
Der Steckverbinder (1) hat in beiden Varianten im Querschnitt eine Kastenform oder eine U-Form und besteht z.B. aus einer Mittelwand (2) oder einem Boden und zwei beidseits anschließenden Seitenwänden oder Seitenstegen (3). Bei der U-Form ist eine einzelne Mittelwand (2) vorhanden. Bei einer Kastenform können zwei oder mehr Mittelwände (2) gegeben sein. Die Wände (2,3) umgeben einen Innenraum (7) des Steckverbinders (1), der bevorzugt hohl ist. Er kann alternativ massiv sein. Der Steckverbinder (1) hat eine Längsachse (8) und kann einen Mittenanschlag (4) aufweisen, der die Einschubtiefe in die Hohlprofilöffnungen begrenzt und für einen dichten Anschluss der Profilstirnseiten an der Verbindungsstelle (5) sorgt.The connector (1) has in both variants in cross-section a box shape or a U-shape and consists for example of a middle wall (2) or a bottom and two on both sides adjoining side walls or side bars (3). The U-shape has a single center wall (2). In a box shape, there may be two or more center walls (2). The walls (2, 3) surround an interior (7) of the connector (1), which is preferably hollow. He can alternatively be massive. The connector (1) has a longitudinal axis (8) and may have a center stop (4) which limits the insertion depth in the hollow profile openings and ensures a tight connection of the profile end faces at the connection point (5).
Wie insbesondere
Die Außenkontur der Seitenwand (3) kann im Querschnitt eine Omega-Form haben, wobei der zurückversetzte Wandbereich (11) von der benachbarten Profilseitenwand (25') distanziert ist.

Also in the longitudinal direction (8), the aforementioned multiple arrangement of local indentations (11 ') is possible.
Für den Rückhalt im Hohlprofil (21) weist der Steckverbinder (1) mindestens ein Rückhalteelement (6) auf. Dieses kann ggf. mehrfach vorhanden sein. Für die Ausgestaltung des Rückhalteelements (6) gibt es verschiedene Möglichkeiten, wobei an einem Steckverbinder (1) auch mehrere unterschiedliche ausgebildete Rückhalteelemente (6) vorhanden sein können. Vorzugsweise weist eine Seitenwand (3) ein oder mehrere Rückhalteelemente (6) auf, die z.B. am freien Randbereich (9) der Seitenwand (3) angeordnet sind.For the support in the hollow profile (21), the connector (1) on at least one retaining element (6). This may possibly be multiple. There are various possibilities for the design of the retaining element (6), it also being possible for a plurality of differently formed retaining elements (6) to be present on a plug connector (1). Preferably, a side wall (3) has one or more retaining elements (6), e.g. at the free edge region (9) of the side wall (3) are arranged.
In der gezeigten Ausführungsform ist ein Rückhalteelement (6) als Zahnleiste am freien Stegrand (9) ausgebildet. Die Zähne erstrecken sich in der Wandebene vom Rand (9) weg nach oben. Sie können zusätzlich oder alternativ schräg oder zur Seite ausgestellt sein. Wie
Alternativ kann z.B. ein Rückhalteelement (6) als seitlich und ggf. nach oben ausgestellte Federnase ausgebildet sein, welche sich ebenfalls an der Seitenwand (3), insbesondere an deren freiem Randbereich (9) befinden kann und auch mehrfach vorhanden sein kann. Auch an der Mittelwand (2) können ein oder mehrere Rückhalteelemente (6) angeordnet sein, z.B. nach unten bzw. außen ausgestellte Federnasen.Alternatively, for example, a retaining element (6) be designed as laterally and optionally upwardly issued spring nose, which can also be located on the side wall (3), in particular on the free edge region (9) and can also be present several times. Also on the center wall (2), one or more retaining elements (6) may be arranged, for example downwardly or externally issued spring lugs.
Wie
In der gezeigten Ausführungsform hat die Mittelwand (2) im Innenbereich oder im mittleren Bereich einen erhabenen Bodenbereich (16), der zum Verbinderinnenraum (7) vorsteht bzw. gewölbt ist.

This floor area (16) can overlap and cover any perforations (24) or the like.
Der Steckverbinder (1) hat am Längsrand jeweils eine rinnenartige Übergangsstelle (15) zwischen der Mittelwand (2) und der Seitenwand (3). In diesem Bereich ist die Mittelwand (2) bzw. der Boden vom vorerwähnten Bodenbereich (16) wieder abgesenkt, hierdurch kann sich in Verbindung mit der benachbarten Einbauchung (11') eine mechanisch versteifte Leiste (17) mit einer Rinnenform oder Wölbung der Verbinderwandung ergeben. An der Unterseite der Übergangsstelle (15) oder Leiste (17) kann außerdem ein Standbereich entstehen, der an die Formgebung des Profilbodens angepasst ist und der ggf. eine ebene oder leicht gewölbte Form hat. Auch dies ist für die dichte Anlage des Steckverbinders (1) an den Profilwänden von Vorteil.The connector (1) has at the longitudinal edge in each case a channel-like transition point (15) between the middle wall (2) and the side wall (3). In this area, the middle wall (2) or the bottom of the above-mentioned bottom portion (16) is lowered again, this may result in conjunction with the adjacent indentation (11 ') a mechanically stiffened strip (17) with a channel shape or curvature of the connector wall , At the bottom of the transition point (15) or strip (17) may also arise a standing area, which is adapted to the shape of the tread and possibly has a flat or slightly curved shape. Again, this is for the tight contact of the connector (1) on the profile walls beneficial.

Er hat im Querschnitt eine U-Form, kann alternativ aber auch eine im Dachbereich durch einen weiteren Quersteg geschlossene Kastenform haben. Der Steckverbinder (1) besitzt wie im ersten Ausführungsbeispiel in der Ausführung als Geradverbinder zwei fluchtende Schenkel (34,35) und einen Mittenanschlag (4), der in beliebig geeigneter Weise, z.B. mit den gegeneinander gerichteten Anschlagnasen (10) wie im ersten Ausführungsbeispiel gebildet wird.The connector shown (1) is formed for example as a plastic part, but may alternatively also consist of another suitable material. As in the first exemplary embodiment, it has a center wall (2) with two side walls (3) adjoining on both sides and an optionally hollow interior (7). He has a U-shape in cross section, but may alternatively have a closed in the roof area by another cross bar box shape. The connector (1) has as in the first embodiment in the embodiment as a straight connector two aligned legs (34,35) and a center stop (4) formed in any suitable manner, for example with the oppositely directed stop lugs (10) as in the first embodiment becomes.
Die Seitenwände (3) haben auch in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel eine profilierte Außenkontur im Einsteckbereich (36). Die zum Innenraum (7) gerichtete Wandinnenseite kann eben ausgebildet sein. Die profilierte Außenkontur kann wie im ersten Ausführungsbeispiel im Querschnitt eine Omega-Form besitzen.The side walls (3) have in this embodiment, a profiled outer contour in the insertion region (36). The inner side facing the interior (7) can be flat. The profiled outer contour can have an omega shape in cross-section, as in the first exemplary embodiment.

Der untere vorspringende Seitenwandbereich (13) ist z.B. als Sockel (30) ausgebildet und kann an den zurück versetzten Wandbereich (11) angeformt oder angespritzt sein. Er besitzt ebenfalls eine aufrechte und ebene Oberfläche (13') zur Anlage an der benachbarten Profilinnenseite. Der Sockel (30) ragt nach unten über den auch in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel erhabenen Bodenbereich (16) der Mittelwand (2) nach unten vor und bildet einen Stützfuß (17), der in den Eckbereich des Hohlprofils (21) zwischen Seitenwand (25) und Bodenbereich (25') greift. Der Profilboden (25') kann die eingangs erwähnte Erhebung (33) aufweisen, die links und rechts von den Füßen (17) der Seitenwände (3) umgeben wird.The lower projecting sidewall region (13) is e.g. formed as a base (30) and may be molded or molded to the recessed wall portion (11). He also has an upright and flat surface (13 ') for contact with the adjacent profile inside. The base (30) protrudes downwards beyond the bottom region (16) of the middle wall (2), which is also raised in this exemplary embodiment, and forms a support foot (17) which is in the corner region of the hollow profile (21) between the side wall (25) and Floor area (25 ') attacks. The profile bottom (25 ') may have the aforementioned elevation (33) which is surrounded on the left and right of the feet (17) of the side walls (3).
Der untere Seitenwandbereich (13) kann sich wie im ersten Ausführungsbeispiel über die gesamte Länge der Schenkel (34,35) bzw. des Steckverbinders (1) und der Seitenwand (3) erstrecken. Im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel von
In den Bereichen zwischen den seitlich vorspringenden Sockeln (30) erstreckt sich der vorerwähnte ebene Seitenwandbereich (11"). Hier ist die Seitenwand (3) von der benachbarten Profilseitenwand (25) distanziert. Oberhalb der Sockel (30) kann die darüber befindliche Leiste (29) unterbrochen sein und eine Aussparung (32) aufweisen. Der Boden der seitlichen Aussparung (32) kann von dem ebenen Seitenwandbereich (11") gebildet werden. Die oberen und unteren vorspringenden Seitenwandbereiche (12,13) können über die Länge eines Schenkels (34,35) bzw. des Steckverbinders (1) versetzt zueinander angeordnet sein.In the areas between the laterally projecting pedestals (30) extends the aforementioned planar side wall portion (11 "). Here, the side wall (3) is spaced from the adjacent profile side wall (25). Above the base (30), the bar located above it (29) may be interrupted and have a recess (32). The bottom of the side recess (32) may be formed by the flat side wall portion (11 "). The upper and lower projecting side wall portions (12, 13) may be offset along the length of a leg (34, 35) and the connector (1), respectively be arranged to each other.
Der Steckverbinder (1) kann ferner an den Seitenwänden (3) jeweils eine oder mehrere nach außen vorspringende, bevorzugt dünnwandige Querwände (31) aufweisen, welche die Funktion einer Dichtlippe erfüllen können. Querwände (31) sind z.B. im Bereich der Sockel (30) angeordnet und schützen die zwischen ihnen befindlichen zurück versetzten Seitenwandbereiche (11,11") gegen axialen Eintritt eines Trocknungsmittels. Die Dichtlippen (31) reichen bis zu den Oberflächen (12',13') bzw. der Außenseite (14) des Steckverbinders (1) und können an der benachbarten Profilseitenwand (25) dicht anliegen. Die Querwände (31) befinden sich jeweils an den Stirnseiten (18) und beidseits der Verbindungsstelle (4), so dass auch im Bereich der Verbindungsstelle (4) eine axiale Abdichtung erfolgen kann.The connector (1) may further comprise on the side walls (3) one or more outwardly projecting, preferably thin-walled transverse walls (31) which can fulfill the function of a sealing lip. Transverse walls (31) are e.g. are arranged in the region of the base (30) and protect the recessed sidewall regions (11, 11 ") between them against axial entry of a desiccant The sealing lips (31) extend to the surfaces (12 ', 13') or the outside (14) of the connector (1) and can tightly abut against the adjacent profile side wall (25) .The transverse walls (31) are respectively located on the end faces (18) and on both sides of the connection point (4), so that also in the region of the connection point ( 4) can be made an axial seal.
Wenn der Steckverbinder (1) aus Kunststoff oder einem anderen relativ weichen Material besteht, können die Querwände (31) beim Aufschieben eines Hohlprofils (21) von einem etwaigen dortigen inneren Vorsprung (26) durchstoßen werden, wobei sie sich Dank ihrer Eigenelastizität dann wieder an die Vorsprungränder dichtend anlegen. Die Querwände (31) befinden sich außerdem im Bereich der Aussparungen (32), wobei sie jeweils von der Stirnseite (18) zur Verbindermitte (5) gesehen hinter der Aussparung (32) liegen. Sie verbinden dabei die Sockelkante (30) mit der darüber liegenden Leistenkante (29).If the connector (1) made of plastic or other relatively soft material, the transverse walls (31) when pushing a hollow profile (21) of any local inner projection (26) are pierced, and then thanks to their inherent elasticity again apply the edges of the edges sealingly. The transverse walls (31) are also in the region of the recesses (32), wherein they each lie from the end face (18) to the connector center (5) behind the recess (32). They connect the base edge (30) with the overlying strip edge (29).
Die dargestellte zweite Ausführungsform kann ebenfalls in verschiedener Weise abgewandelt werden. Der Seitenwandbereich (13) kann durchgängig als Sockelleiste ausgebildet sein. Die Zahl und Anordnung der Querwände (31) kann variieren. Auf die Aussparungen (32) kann ggf. verzichtet werden. Der Steckverbinder (1) kann massiv ausgebildet sein oder kann zur Sperrung eines Trockenmitteldurchlasses ein oder mehrere Querwände im Innenraum (7) aufweisen. In der gezeigten Ausführungsform erstreckt sich die Aufnahme (28) durch über die gesamte Verbinderlänge und ist nur im Bereich der dünnen Querwände (11) unterbrochen. Wenn der Steckverbinder (1) für andere Hohlprofilformen ohne Vorsprung (26) eingesetzt wird, können die dünnwandigen Dichtlippen (31) beibehalten werden. Alternativ können sie eine größere Dicke haben und können insbesondere eine Längserstreckung ähnlich wie die Sockel (30) besitzen. Hierdurch können in Seitenwandlängsrichtung mehrere axial begrenzte wannenartige Aufnahmen hintereinander gebildet werden ähnlich wie im ersten Ausführungsbeispiel.The illustrated second embodiment can also be modified in various ways. The side wall region (13) can be designed as a skirting board throughout. The number and arrangement of the transverse walls (31) can vary. On the recesses (32) may possibly be waived. The connector (1) may be solid or may have one or more transverse walls in the interior (7) to block a desiccant passage. In the embodiment shown, the receptacle (28) extends through the entire connector length and is interrupted only in the region of the thin transverse walls (11). If the connector (1) for other hollow profile shapes without projection (26) is used, the thin-walled sealing lips (31) can be maintained. Alternatively, they may have a greater thickness and in particular may have a longitudinal extent similar to the base (30). As a result, a plurality of axially limited trough-like receptacles can be formed one behind the other in the side wall longitudinal direction, similar to the first exemplary embodiment.
Abwandlungen der gezeigten und beschriebenen Ausführungsformen sind in verschiedener Weise möglich. In den gezeigten Ausführungsbeispielen hat die Seitenwand (3) in Längsrichtung (8) eine gerade Erstreckung und mit Ausnahme der Einbauchung(en) (11') ebene Außenseite (14). In Abwandlung hierzu kann die Seitenwand (3) in Längsrichtung eine gekrümmte oder gewölbte Form haben, wobei eine Wölbung auch mehrfach sowie alternierend vorhanden und als Wellenform ausgebildet sein kann. Die Erstreckung der vorzugsweise länglichen und rinnenförmigen Einbauchung (11') ist in der gezeigten Ausführungsform parallel zur Längsachse (8). Alternativ kann eine gerade Einbauchung (11') eine schräge Ausrichtung haben und z.B. von der Stirnseite (18) bis zur Mittenlinie (5) oder zur anderen Stirnseite hin ansteigen. Diese Formgebung kann auch umgekehrt sein. Die Längserstreckung der Einbauchung (11') muss auch keinen geraden Verlauf haben. Sie kann eine einzelne oder mehrere Krümmungen aufweisen und Wellenform haben. Daneben sind auch abgestufte Verläufe möglich. Auch eine Reihe von punktförmigen oder kraterförmigen Einbauchungen (11') in gerader oder beliebiger anderer Reihenerstreckung sind möglich.Variations of the embodiments shown and described are possible in various ways. In the embodiments shown, the side wall (3) in the longitudinal direction (8) has a straight extension and with the exception of the indentation (s) (11 ') flat outer side (14). In a modification to this, the side wall (3) may have a curved or arched shape in the longitudinal direction, wherein a curvature can also be multiple and alternating and formed as a waveform. The extension of the preferably elongated and channel-shaped indentation (11 ') is parallel to the longitudinal axis (8) in the embodiment shown. Alternatively, a straight indentation (11 ') may have an oblique orientation and, for example, rise from the end face (18) to the center line (5) or to the other end side. This shape can also be reversed. The longitudinal extension of the indentation (11 ') also does not have to be straight. It can have a single or multiple curvatures and have a waveform. In addition, graduated courses are possible. A number of punctiform or crater-like indentations (11 ') in straight or any other series extension are possible.
In Abwandlung der gezeigten Ausführungsformen können bei einem Steckverbinder (1) an einem Schenkel (34,35) im Einsteckbereich (36) über die Länge gesehen nur stellenweise obere und untere vorspringende Seitenwandbereiche (12,13) vorhanden sein, wobei sich dort im Querschnitt eine Omega-förmige Seitenwandkontur ergibt. In den dazwischenliegenden Bereichen kann die Seitenwand (3) außenseitig eben ausgebildet sein und zurückversetzt unter Bildung des Bereichs (11) angeordnet sein. In Abwandlung des zweiten Ausführungsbeispiels von
In den gezeigten Ausführungsbeispielen sind Längsverbinder dargestellt. Die gezeigten Merkmale der verschiedenen Ausführungsformen lassen sich auch auf Eckwinkel mit z.B. im rechten Winkel zueinander ausgerichteten Schenkeln übertragen. Bei einem Eckwinkel kann z.B. der Mittelbereich bei über Eck gestoßenen Hohlprofilen (1) frei bleiben, wobei geeignete Maßnahmen zum Verschluss der Hohlprofilöffnung vorgesehen sind, z.B. ein im Eck- oder Mittelbereich breitflächig nach außen vorstehender Seitenwandbereich, der zugleich ggf. einen Anschlag für ein oder beide Hohlprofile bildet. Ein Eckwinkel kann auch einen anderen Schenkelwinkel haben, von z.B. einen stumpfen Winkel zwischen 90° und 180°.In the embodiments shown longitudinal connectors are shown. The features of the various embodiments shown can also be transferred to corner angles with, for example, at right angles to each other aligned legs. For example, in the case of a corner angle, the central region may remain free in the case of hollow profiles (1) pushed over the corner, suitable measures being taken to close off the Hollow profile opening are provided, for example, in the corner or central area broadly outwardly projecting side wall area, which at the same time optionally forms a stop for one or both hollow sections. A corner angle can also have a different leg angle, for example, an obtuse angle between 90 ° and 180 °.
Ferner ist es möglich, die Merkmale der vorbeschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiele beliebig untereinander zu kombinieren und auszutauschen.Furthermore, it is possible to arbitrarily combine and exchange the features of the above-described embodiments with each other.
