  • the design of the screw channel 15 is shaped in such a way that a screw fits through as a fastening means and the underside of the head comes to rest on the step of the screw channel.
  • the screw channel 15 In the upper part of the screw channel 15, which faces the mouth opening, the screw channel 15 has the largest diameter in order to accommodate the screw head. At the point at which the screw head enters completely behind the visible surface of the vertical fastening bracket 11, a stop for the screw head is structurally predetermined by the reduced diameter of the drilled hole 15. For a good fit of the screw, the transition to the smaller diameter is formed by a step/chamfer, which in turn is preferably designed to complement the underside of the screw head.
  • the connecting screw enters the connector 10 at an angle ⁇ , is completely surrounded by the accumulation of material 14a forming the wall of the screw channel 15 and the molded positioning pin 16 serves the purpose of a guide extension for the connecting screw.
  • the screw channel 15 prepared in this way accelerates assembly and ensures that the screw fits perfectly. This is used for the connection with the threshold profile 50 of the threshold and initially protrudes through the adjoining glass receiving profile 40 accommodated in the threshold profile 50.
  • the screw (not shown) is only partially guided in the accumulation of material 14a before passing it through the positioning pin 16 and its lower opening leaves.
  • the support of the accumulation of material 14a, which continues through the base plate into the positioning pin, is sufficient due to the overall length achieved that the screw finds its way further into the steel reinforcement of the sleeper profile 50 with pinpoint accuracy.
  • At least one orthogonally arranged screw is introduced into the drilled hole 15'. It is optimally positioned at the outer end of the base plate 13.
  • the drill hole 15" can optionally be mounted from the underside of the threshold profile 50 for additional fixation. Since the connector is preferably first joined to the mullion profile 20, the drill hole 15" would not be accessible from the glazing rebate 42.
  • Figure 2c shows the top view of the connector 10. All stop surfaces 18, 18 ⁇ , 18" are shown in this view.
  • the connector provides these stop surfaces 18, 18 ⁇ , 18" which, in the assembled state, bear against corresponding stop surfaces of the post profile 20.
  • the stop surfaces in the post profile can be formed, for example, by the edge surfaces of at least one notch, for example in the rebate surface.
  • the desired end position is reached when the contour-milled stop surface 21 of the post profile meets the stop surfaces 18, 18', 18" of the connector.
  • the stop surfaces 18, 18'' are preferably at the same level, the third stop surface 18' is at a different level.
  • the analogous and corresponding arrangement is decisive of the stop surfaces 18, 18', 18" of the connector with those for contour milling of the notch 21 on the post profile 20.
  • clearances 18a, 18a ⁇ , 18a" in the connector 10 which are formed by a groove-shaped channel in order to allow the post profile 10 to rest unhindered in the corner areas.
  • the Figure 2c shows the drilled holes 15', 15", with the drilled hole 15' being accessible from the wing profile 20 and the drilled hole 15" being accessible only from the underside of the sill profile 50.
  • the screws to be arranged which are introduced into the boreholes 15' and 15'', run towards one another when viewed in cross section; they are each screwed in from the outside at the opposite fastening lugs 11, 11' towards the inside of the profile.
  • FIGS. 3a and 3b show the connector 10 to be assembled with the sealing plate 70 and the adjoining profiles viewed from below and from above. The individual elements are shown in the position to be assembled.
  • the post profile 20 is to be joined to the glass receiving profile 40 by means of the connector 10.
  • the stiffening ribs 17 with the contact surfaces 17a serving as insertion aids are suitable for sliding the connector 10 into the post profile 20.
  • the contact surfaces 17a formed, for example, by chamfered ends, make it easier to insert the connector 10 into the fitting groove/Eurogroove 22 on the side facing away from the glazing rebate 24.
  • the post profile 20 is clamped between the stiffening ribs 17 and the vertical fastening strap 11.
  • the stiffening ribs 17 are formed in pairs and are spaced apart from one another in such a way that they enclose the further vertical fastening strap 11′ between them and are firmly formed on it.
  • the stiffening ribs 17 are applied in a clamping manner to the fitting groove 22 of the post profile 20 .
  • this U-shaped similar combination of the stiffening ribs 17 with the vertical fastening strap 11' has a dimensionally stabilizing effect on the post profile 20.
  • the connector 10 lies flat with its lower surface, which is preferably adhesively connected to an elastic sealing plate 70, in particular at least partially corresponding to the surface of the base plate 13 and seals against moisture.
  • the borehole 15" on the connector 10 which is only accessible from the underside of the sill profile 50, guides a screw in the installed state, which is inserted from the underside of the sill profile 50.
  • the borehole 45 in the glass receiving profile 40 is one of the two positioning bores into which the positioning pins 16 engage.
  • the positioning hole 45 is shown in the glass receiving profile.
  • the screw placed in the positioning hole 45 connects the connector 10 to the sill profile 50.
  • figure 4 shows the assembled state of the connector between mullion profile 20 and glass receiving profile 40 with a view of the glazing rebate 24 and 42.
  • the connector 10 fits exactly in the corner area of the mullion profile 20 and the glass receiving profile 40.
  • the connector 10 is supported in the groove of the glazing rebate 42 and 24 the rear wall of the glazing bead groove 25. Part of the mouth opening 14 can be seen.
  • the screw mounted there protrudes through the glass mounting profile 40 into the steel reinforcement of the threshold profile 50.
  • Figure 5a shows the mounted state of the connector 10 in the final state with the threshold profile 50 and cover profile 30.
  • the wing overlap 26 of the post profile 20 and the overlap 43 of the glass receiving profile 40 form the enclosing boundaries of the glass element (not shown).
  • the height of the flap 43 in this embodiment is small, even significantly smaller than the depth of the wing flap 26 of the post profile 20.
  • the glazing rebate 42 is fully available for the glazing inset and enables it to be firmly fixed.
  • the cover profile 30 is clipped onto the post profile 20, which creates an attractive appearance and offers additional protection against the effects of the weather.
  • Figure 5b shows the assembled state of connector 10 in its final state with the threshold without cover profile 30.
