Abstract

L'invention concerne un connecteur (1) destiné à connecter des extrémités de profilés creux (3, 4) en plastique formant des intercalaires d'un vitrage isolant, ainsi qu'une connexion à emboîtement. Ce connecteur (1) comprend un fond (16) présentant des parois latérales (21) côté bord, ainsi qu'un repère central (25) et des éléments de retenue (19, 24). Un élément de retenue (19) se présentant de préférence sous la forme d'une languette flexible et faisant saillie vers l'extérieur depuis le fond (16) est placé sur un bord longitudinal ou sur les deux bords longitudinaux (17) du fond (16), lequel élément s'accroche, à l'encontre du sens de sortie, à un élément de renforcement (9) axial de type nervure situé sur un bord longitudinal (8) correspondant d'un fond de profilé creux (7).
