Definitions

  • the invention relates to a linear connector made of plastic for hollow spacer profiles of multi-pane insulating glass according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the known linear connectors of the type mentioned (DE-GM 90 16 592, DE-GM 91 10 972) have designs which, in view of the cohesion of the spacer profiles to be connected, which are required by such connectors, often do not have optimal effects after their installation, since the flat, elongated bodies, of which one length piece in the cavity of one spacer profile and the other length piece can be inserted into the cavity of the other spacer profile of the two profile bodies to be connected, do not in any case ensure a non-slip fit which prevents the surfaces perform the sliding movements on the surfaces of the profile cavities after installation under the usual thermal and tensile stresses and thereby do not keep the connection point of the spacer profile bodies as stable as is required in order to guarantee such insulating glass panes a long service life.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to further develop the linear connector of the type mentioned so that it has the desired firm fit with sufficient rigidity and abrasion resistance of the connector material and, in the connection area, that is to say in the center of the body of the linear connector, unfolds a stop action when the spacer profiles are slid on, which prevents the linear connector from being pushed or pushed too far into the cavity of the spacer profiles.
  • the lamellae are elastically deformable and have a curved or angled, claw-shaped cross section such that they emerge from the surface of the two narrow sides of the linear connector body with their rear end at right angles or almost at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the body and at their front End have a point or edge, which is formed by a first surface parallel or almost parallel to the body longitudinal axis and a second surface perpendicular or almost perpendicular to the body longitudinal axis.
  • the lamellae on the narrow sides of the linear connector body are, according to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, designed so that the first surface at its lower end merges into a curved surface that abuts the surface of the narrow side perpendicularly or almost perpendicularly, and that the second surface at its rear end, facing away from the tip or edge, also merges into a curved surface which also abuts the surface of the narrow side perpendicularly or almost perpendicularly.
  • the two curved surfaces can have the same radius of curvature, which means that they run parallel to one another.
  • the first surface at its lower end merges into a flat surface which is at an angle ⁇ is inclined to the longitudinal axis B of the body and, before reaching the surface of the narrow sides of the linear connector body, kinks perpendicularly or almost perpendicularly to this surface and thereby merges into a perpendicular or nearly perpendicular, straight surface, and that the second surface at its rear, the tip or edge opposite end merges into a straight and at an angle ⁇ to the body longitudinal axis B and obliquely to the surface of the narrow sides, which before reaching the surface in a perpendicular or almost perpendicular to this surface, flat surface passes.
  • the lamella is not curved but kinked, and the two angles ⁇ and ⁇ can also be the same size.
  • cross-section used in this context means a section through a lamella in the plane of the longitudinal axis B of the linear connector body, which is shown in some drawing figures, in which corresponding parts are otherwise provided with the same reference numerals.
  • the linear connector is made of plastic and is provided for connecting hollow spacer profiles of multi-pane insulating glass, which are made of metal or plastic or another suitable material.
  • it has a flat, elongated body 1, of which one length piece 9 into the cavity of one spacer profile, not shown, and the other length piece 10 into the cavity of the other spacer profile, also not shown two profile bodies to be connected can be inserted.
  • the linear connector body 1 has a U-shaped cross section for the passage of the molecular sieve and is radially reinforced in the middle C of the body on its two narrow sides 3, 4 by outwardly directed, hump-shaped reinforcing elements 5, 6, each of which has at least one deflection element in the form of an elastic lamella 7, 8 inclined towards the center of the body C, which when the linear connector body 1 is inserted into the cavity of the spacer profile, if it lies in the direction of insertion in front of the center of the body C, can be pressed against the reinforcing element 5, 6 by the spacer profile front side and thereby plastically is deformable, and insofar as it lies behind the center of the body C in the direction of insertion, forms an insertion stop for the front face of the spacer profile.
  • Slide-in stop means in this context that the linear connector body cannot be pushed beyond this stop when it is pushed in and can therefore be pushed in too far.
  • the parallel narrow sides 3, 4 of the connector body are equipped with lamellae 27 of the type shown in FIG. 3, this type also due to the configuration of a lamella 28 shown in FIG. 4 can be replaced.
  • lamellae 27, 28 are arranged at a distance from one another and one behind the other in the direction of the longitudinal axis B of the connecting body, and are each oriented toward the center of the body length. That means that the lamellae shown in FIGS. 1a and 1c as well as 2a and 2c in the upper half of the connector body 1 point towards the center of the body C, i.e. downwards and the lamellae 27 in the lower half of the connector body also point upwards towards the middle of the body length C.
  • the elastic lamellae 27, 28 have a curved or angled cross-section such that they emerge from the surface of the two narrow sides 3, 4 with their rear end 29 at right angles or almost at right angles to the longitudinal axis B of the body have at their front end 30 a point or edge 41 which is formed by a first surface 31 parallel or almost parallel to the body longitudinal axis B and a second surface 32 perpendicular or almost perpendicular to the body longitudinal axis B.
  • the first surface 31 merges into a curved surface 33 which abuts the surface of the narrow sides 3, 4 perpendicularly or almost perpendicularly, only one of which is shown in part in the drawing is, the location of which can be seen more clearly from Fig. 1a.
  • the second surface 32 goes into a curved surface 34 at its rear end 42 facing away from the tip or edge 41 about, which also abuts the surface of the narrow side 3, 4 vertically or almost vertically.
  • the first surface 31 goes on its lower End 39 into a flat surface 35, which is inclined at an angle ⁇ to the longitudinal axis B of the body and, before reaching the surface of the narrow sides 3, 4, bends perpendicularly or almost perpendicularly to this surface and thereby merges into a straight or almost vertical straight surface 36 .
  • the second surface 32 merges at its rear end 42, which faces away from the tip or edge 41, into a straight surface 37, which extends at an angle ⁇ to the longitudinal axis B of the body and obliquely to the surface of the narrow sides 3, 4, and which reaches before the surface of the narrow sides is reached a straight surface 38 running perpendicular or almost perpendicular to this surface merges.
  • the two angles ⁇ and ⁇ are of equal size, the two surfaces 35 and 37 lying opposite one another run parallel to one another.
  • the cross section of the lamella in the area of the lamella transition into the surface 29 of the narrow sides 3, 4 is somewhat reinforced in order to improve the introduction of force and to prevent the lamella from tearing under the material stresses which occur in the cavity when the straight connector is installed.
  • the construction in the illustrated lamella embodiments is designed such that the lower end 39 of the first surface 31 is level with the point of impact 40 or the line of impact of the curved surface 34 or the straight surface 38 on the surface 29 of the narrow sides 3, 4 lies, as indicated by the dashed line A in Fig. 4.
  • first surface 31, measured in the direction of the body longitudinal axis B is twice as long as the second surface 32, measured perpendicular to the body longitudinal axis B, and the cross section of the lamellae 27, 28 can also be in the direction of taper the tips or edges 41.
  • the radial, bump-like reinforcing elements 5, 6 (FIG. 1) and 44, 45 (FIG. 2) arranged on the narrow sides in the region of the center of the linear connector body C also serve to stiffen the U-profile in order to absorb possible torsional forces during assembly of the spacer profile ends and thus to counteract a deformation of the linear connector in this area.
  • they can be provided with undercuts 23, 24 which act as a support when the lamellae 7, 8 serving as stop element are pressed down when the linear connector is pushed or pressed into the spacer profile cavity.
  • the hump-shaped reinforcing elements 5, 6 in the body longitudinal axis B are delimited by a wall 46 standing perpendicular to the body surface and a wall 47 running obliquely to it.
  • the main function of the inclined lamellae 7, 8 located in the area of the center of the body of the linear connector is the stop function.
  • one blade 7, 8 is expediently arranged on both sides of the center of the body C, so that the free ends of the two blades point in opposite directions. In this way it is ensured that the linear connector can be installed in the spacer profiles in any direction without the body end C being run over by the profile end faces.
  • the hump-shaped reinforcing elements 5, 6 are, as regards the height of their elevation above the surface of the narrow sides 3, 4, smaller than the deformable slats 27, 28 and, of course, also smaller than the slats 7, 8 serving as a stop element Their height can be such that they coincide with the oblique ramp bodies 21, 22 on the end, which serve to facilitate the insertion of the linear connector into the cavity of the spacer profiles.
  • the crosspiece 19 of the U-shaped profile of the linear connector body 1 can be provided with openings 20 which, of course, serve to save material.
  • transverse ribs 17, 18 can be used, which are located on both sides of the linear body center C and prevent the molecular sieve from passing through the gap which is usually present after installation between the two opposite end faces of the spacer profiles and falling out of the spacer profile.
  • These transverse ribs can be arranged in such a way that they connect to the lamellae 27, 28 which cause the wall friction, as can be seen from FIGS. 1c and 2c.
  • the slats 27, 28 can have a height H which corresponds approximately to the height of the narrow sides 3, 4.
