Definitions

  • the invention relates to a linear connector for non-positive connection of two hollow profiles, comprising two webs with mutually parallel outer sides, which are connected by a bottom to a cross-sectionally U-shaped profile, so that a laterally closed and closed, terminal and open top channel is formed ,
  • spacer frame play an essential role to keep the individual slices of the insulating glass composite at a defined distance from each other.
  • Such spacer frames are typically made of hollow sections of substantially rectangular cross-section.
  • prefabricated individual profiles are used, which are cut to length and bent into a frame case-specific.
  • the frame is closed via a so-called linear connector.
  • linear connectors usually do not match one another.
  • the remaining profile section is connected by means of linear connectors to the following 6-m section bar.
  • the linear connector is inserted on both sides in a respective hollow profile section until the end faces of the hollow sections abut flush with each other.
  • a leg length of the frame equal to several linear connectors are installed.
  • the associated cross-sectional constriction carries the risk that the flow of the so-called molecular sieve is restricted.
  • molecular sieve is meant a free-flowing, hygroscopic material, with which the spacer frames are filled, so that moisture can be absorbed from the space between the panes and a window fitting can be avoided.
  • the filling is typically carried out with filling devices, which are provided with an automatic shutdown, so that caused by excessive cross-sectional constriction backwater can provoke premature shutdown and thus insufficient frame filling.
  • filling devices which are provided with an automatic shutdown, so that caused by excessive cross-sectional constriction backwater can provoke premature shutdown and thus insufficient frame filling.
  • the bottom and the webs have different lengths.
  • the bridge ends are terminal over the edge of the floor. This makes it possible to dispense with a terminal increase in the ground to create a run-on slope. Rather, all measures necessary for the formation of run-on slopes can take place only in the area of the bridge ends.
  • the underside of the floor can therefore, as provided in a preferred embodiment of the invention, at least in its terminal areas be flat and form a lower end surface of the linear connector there.
  • the underside of the floor is flat on the inside of the hollow profile, so that no pocket is formed in the molecular sieve could jam with the risk of leakage at the hollow profile joint.
  • the projection of the web ends must be so large that an insertion of the linear connector is sufficient to this supernatant for centering. On the other hand, the supernatant should not be too large, so that the stability of the connector does not suffer altogether.
  • the tolerance range given above corresponds to the limits of a reasonable compromise in this regard.
  • the top of the bottom of a center region of the linear connector located towards its terminal edges decreases.
  • the result is a run-on slope, which directs the molecular sieve in the channel of the linear connector.
  • the terminal edges of the bottom are formed as sharp edges. This avoids any vertical face of the bottom where molecular sieve could accumulate.
  • the terminal edges of the floor need neither be designed straight nor aligned exactly transversely to the axial direction of the linear connector. In a preferred embodiment of the invention that is so provided. In a further embodiment, which is likewise considered to be particularly favorable, it is provided, on the other hand, that the terminal edges of the base are concave, in particular symmetrical with respect to the axial direction of the linear connector, in particular bent. As explained above, it is a particular advantage of the invention, ie the resetting of the terminal bottom edges, that a collision between the bottom edges of the connector and the hollow profile is avoided when inserting the connector into a hollow profile. This is all the more important, the sharper the aforementioned cutting edges, as which the connector bottom edges are preferably formed.
  • the collision-preventing centering generated by the run-up slopes is already completed, so that in the result no risk of collision exists (more).
  • those edge points serve as a reference in which the tangent to the connector bottom edge assumes an angle of 45 ° to the axial direction of the linear connector, ie the transition points from "substantially perpendicular" to "substantially parallel” on the Relative alignment of connector and hollow profile bottom edge.
  • the reference for the return offset should be a middle offset, ie the point between the most distal and closest to the axial connector center.
  • concave in particular concave curved edge shape
  • molecular sieve run is further improved. This facilitates and accelerates the filling of the frame with molecular sieve again.
  • the width of the webs decreases from a centrally located central region of the linear connector to the web ends. Since the outer sides of the webs, as explained above, are aligned substantially parallel to one another, this means that the channel of the linear connector widens toward its end regions. In this way, a starting slope for the molecular sieve is formed in the lateral direction, which directs the molecular sieve in the channel of the linear connector.
  • the webs are preferably tapered on both sides in the region of their web ends in the vertical direction. In other words, they are preferably pointed or rounded in the vertical direction.
  • the outer sides of the webs are reinforced in a centrally located central region of the linear connector with two elastically hinged stop elements opposite each other in the longitudinal direction of the linear connector ,
  • FIGS. 1 to 3 which are to be described below substantially together, represent a linear connector 10 according to the invention according to a first embodiment in different views.
  • the linear connector 10 comprises two mutually opposite, substantially parallel webs 12 and a bottom connecting them 14.
  • the bottom 14 and the webs 12 are substantially perpendicular to each other. Together they form a U-profile with vertical sides and flat bottom. This results in a laterally and bottom-side closed, open-topped channel for the flow of the molecular sieve.
  • the web ends 121 of the webs 12 are, as in particular in FIG. 2 recognizable bevelled on both sides in the vertical direction, so that there is a sharpening or rounding in the end, which facilitates insertion of the linear connector 10 in a non-illustrated hollow profile in the sense of vertical chamfers.
  • the outer sides of the webs 12 are reinforced with herringbone-like blades 16.
  • the respective terminal lamella merges into a lateral tapering of the web ends 121, so that the insertion of the linear connector 10 into a hollow profile (not shown) is thereby also facilitated in the sense of lateral chamfers.
  • the return movement of the terminal edge 141 of the bottom 14 relative to the web ends 121 results solely by the effect of the previously described, vertical and lateral run-on slopes of the web ends 121 a centering between linear connector 10 and hollow profile. If the linear connector 10 is inserted so far into the hollow profile that the recessed bottom edge 141 reaches the level of the end edges of the hollow profile, the centering is already completed, so there is no effective for insertion run-on in the bottom 14, in particular in the area terminal edge 141 is required.
  • the bottom edge 141 may be formed as a sharp edge with a flat bottom. This results in an optimal seal to the hollow profile, on the flat inside of the flat bottom of the bottom 14 can rest flat.
  • any vertical bottom end wall could be avoided at which molecular sieve could accumulate.
  • the webs 12 have in their central region a minimum thickness required for the stability of the connector. However, they are narrower in their end areas. In other words, the channel widens from its central to its terminal regions. As a result, lateral run-on slopes for the molecular sieve are formed, without this being detrimental to the stability of the linear connector 10.
  • the linear connector 10 also has, in its central region on the outer sides of the webs 12, stop elements 18 which precisely limit the insertion depth of the linear connector 10 into a hollow profile.
  • FIGS. 4 to 6 show a second embodiment of a linear connector 10 according to the invention, which differs from that of the FIGS. 1 to 3 only differs in the design of its terminal edges 141. These are designed to be concave bent symmetrically to the axial direction of the linear connector 10. This increases the stability of the linear connector 10, in particular in the region of its web ends 121, which extend over a longer distance than in the case of FIGS. 1 to 3 are tied to the ground 14. However, the edge 141 extends substantially perpendicular to the not shown edge of a hollow profile into which the linear connector 10 is inserted, ie substantially parallel to the axial direction of the linear connector 10.
  • the connector edge 141 will dodge due to the almost vertical relative angle of the hollow profile edge. In the region of the vertex of the arc of the edge 141, where this is substantially parallel to the hollow profile edge, so that in principle there is a risk of collision and jamming of the blade-like edge 141 with or on the hollow profile bottom, the centering is complete, so de facto no collision - or risk of jamming (more).
  • the linear connectors 10 according to the invention can be manufactured in different materials. Particularly preferably, they are made of plastic, in particular by plastic injection molding. Also with regard to the number and shape of the slats 16, the special design of the stop elements 18 or other, additional measures to improve the frictional connection between the linear connector 10 and a hollow profile, the skilled person can fall back on known and possibly not yet known measures.
