Definitions

  • the invention relates to a straight connector for connecting hollow spacing profiles and hollow rung profiles of a multi-pane insulating glass, with a flat, elongated body, one end of which can be inserted into one spacing profile A and the other end into the other spacing profile B and the surface of which is centered Stop element is provided, which, when the straight connector is pushed into the spacer profiles A and B to be connected, abuts against the profile end faces C and D, the body having a double-T cross-section, the parallel horizontal webs of which are parallel and connected at a distance by vertical webs are and in the installed state of the straight connector at least partially touch the opposite profile inner wall surfaces.
  • the cross-sectional shape is adapted to the cross section of the hollow spacer profiles to be connected to one another in such a way that the straight connector in the installed state offers a free passage cross section for the moisture-absorbing drying agent (molecular sieve), so that the latter can distribute in the entire cavity of the connected spacer profiles.
  • the moisture-absorbing drying agent molecular sieve
  • the object of the invention is therefore to develop the straight connector of the type mentioned so that the above disadvantages are eliminated and any scraped material does not hinder the direct stop of the profile end faces on the stop element.
  • a cutting edge brake is arranged in the form of a wedge-shaped brake wedge rising from the surface of the upper horizontal crossbar in the direction of the stop element, the highest elevation of which is a parallel distance forms edge running to the central stop element.
  • the cutting burr i.e. the plastic material scraped off the surface of the straight connector by the sharp edge of the profile end face, is detached from the surface with the aid of the edge in front of the stop element in order to fall out of the gap which is created, so that the profile end faces up to the stop with the stop element can advance.
  • the height of these curvatures is smaller than the height of the stop element, since otherwise the curvatures themselves would form stop elements, beyond which the straight connector could not be inserted into the profile cavity.
  • the straight connector shown by way of example in FIGS. 1 to 3 has a flat, elongated body 1, of which one end 4 is inserted into the one distance profile A, which is indicated schematically, and its other end 5 is inserted into the other distance profile B, also indicated schematically, around these to connect the two distance profiles.
  • the straight connector has a double-T cross-section with an upper horizontal cross bar 2 and a lower horizontal cross bar 3, which differ in their width in the exemplary embodiment shown and are connected to one another by vertical bars 11, 13, 14, which have a common center bar form, for reasons of material savings, but also for reasons of better passage of the drying agent powder provided with openings 12 of different sizes and thereby divided into the individual webs mentioned.
  • a rib-shaped stop element 8 is arranged approximately in the middle of the length of the straight connector, which extends transversely to the longitudinal direction of the body and, when the straight connector is inserted into the spacer profiles to be connected, abuts against the profile faces C and D, respectively that the maximum insertion length is determined by this stop element.
  • this central stop element 8 On both sides of this central stop element 8 there is a cutting edge brake in the form of a brake wedge 6 or 7 rising from the surface 20 in the direction of the stop element, the highest elevation of which forms an edge 21 running parallel to the central stop element 8 at a distance.
  • the distance between this edge of the brake wedge and the stop element 8 can be selected and in the present case corresponds to the thickness of the stop element.
  • the cutting burr which is formed by the sharp edges of the profile faces C and D superficially scraping the straight connector body when it is pushed into the spacer profiles A and B, scrapes this degree of cutting from the surface with the aid of the edge 21 detach in front of the stop element 8 so that it falls out of the gap between the stop element and the brake wedge 6, 7, whereby the profile end faces can advance as far as the stop with the stop element and the risk is eliminated that drying agent escapes from the cavity of the spacer profiles and gets into the space between the panes.
  • the maximum height of the brake wedges 6, 7, which is measured at their edges 21, is smaller than the height of the stop element 8, so that the latter can actually act as a stop element.
  • the length of the brake wedges 6, 7, measured transversely to the longitudinal axis of the body 1, in the present case is equal to the length of the stop element 8, but should expediently correspond to the width of the crossbar, so that the cutting burr, if it extends over the entire width of this crossbar should also be replaced.
  • the underside of the lower crossbar 3 is provided with a plurality of mutually spaced transverse ribs 17 which, similarly to the ribs 22 located on the parallel side edges 18, 19 of this crossbar, serve to provide the frictional engagement between the surface of the straight connector and the wall surrounding it Reinforcing spacing profiles A and B.
  • the surface 20 of the crosspiece 2 is provided in the region of the two ends 4, 5 of the body 1 with arcuate curvatures 9, 10 which lift out of the surface 20 in the longitudinal direction of the body 1 and when the straight connector is inserted into the hollow spacing profiles A and B form overrun brakes which create a tolerance compensation between these two elements in order to produce a tight fit between the straight connector and the spacer profiles.
  • the height of these bulges 9, 10, a dotted straight line of which is shown below the bulges in FIG. 2, is smaller than the height of the stop element 8.
  • the bulges 9, 10 have a Width that corresponds approximately to the width of the crossbar 2.
  • the length of the curvatures 9, 10 is greater in the illustrated embodiment than the length of the brake wedges 6, 7.
  • the brake wedges 6, 7 have a maximum height of 0.3 mm, while the height of the stop element is 0.55 mm.
  • the wedge angle of the brake wedges is 4 °.
  • the taper angle is 10 °.
  • Both the ribs 17 on the underside of the crossbar 3 and the ribs 22 on the side edges 18, 19 of this crossbar have a triangular cross section, the tip of the triangle forming an angle of 90 ° and the triangle height being 0.2 mm. This relatively small ribbing is sufficient to produce the desired friction effect with the surrounding wall of the spacer profiles.
  • the curvatures 9 and 10 also called arches, have a comparatively small height and in no way exceed the height of the stop element 8. They promote both alignment and the firm fit of the built-in straight connector and thus serve to increase the strength of the connection of the two spacer profiles A. and B.
