Abstract

The connector (1) has leaves (27) which are elastically deformable and have a bent or angled or hooked shaped plane cross section. Each leaf projects at right angles to the longitudinal axis (B) of the connector body (9,10) at the rear end of its section where it is attached to a shallow long side (3) of the connector body. The other end of the leaf has a hook or point (41), one side face of which is approximately parallel to the longitudinal axis of the body and another side face is approximately perpendicular to that axis. The connector is inserted into the hollow spacer bodies in the correct position and held there by the pressure of the leaves against the inside of the spacer bodies.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Linearverbinder aus Kunststoff für hohle Abstandhalterprofile von Mehrscheibenisoliergläsern gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a linear connector made of plastic for hollow spacer profiles of multi-pane insulating glasses according to the preamble of claim 1.

Die bekannten Linearverbinder der genannten Art (DE-GM 90 16 592, DE-GM 91 10 972) weisen Gestaltungen auf, die im Hinblick auf den von derartigen Verbindern geforderten Zusammenhalt der miteinander zu verbindenden Abstandhalterprofile nach ihrem Einbau oftmals keine optimalen Wirkungen entfalten, da die flachen, länglichen Körper, von denen ein Längenstück in den Hohlraum des einen Abstandhalterprofils und das andere Längenstück in den Hohlraum des anderen Abstandhalterprofils der beiden miteinander zu verbindenden Profilkörper einsteckbar sind, nicht in jedem Fall einen rutschfesten Sitz sicherstellen, der verhindert, daß die Oberflächen der Längenstücke auf den Oberflächen der Profilhohlräume nach dem Einbau unter den üblichen thermischen und Zugbeanspruchungen Gleitbewegungen ausführen und dadurch die Verbindungsstelle der Abstandhalterprofilkörper nicht so stabil halten, wie gefordert wird, um derartigen Isolierglasscheiben eine lange Lebensdauer zu garantieren.The known linear connectors of the type mentioned (DE-GM 90 16 592, DE-GM 91 10 972) have designs that are in view of those required by such connectors Cohesion of the spacer profiles to be connected after their installation often do not have optimal effects because the flat, elongated bodies, of which one length piece in the cavity of one spacer profile and the other length piece into the cavity of the other spacer profile of the two together connecting profile body can be inserted, not always a non-slip fit make sure that the surfaces of the lengths on the surfaces of the Profile cavities after installation under the usual thermal and tensile stresses Carry out sliding movements and thereby the connection point of the spacer profile body do not hold as stable as is required to such insulating glass panes guarantee long life.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht deshalb darin, den Linearverbinder der genannten Art so weiterzubilden, daß er bei ausreichender Steifigkeit und Abriebfestigkeit des Verbindermaterials den gewünschten festen Sitz aufweist und dabei im Verbindungsbereich, d.h. in Körpermitte des Linearverbinders, beim Aufschieben der Abstandhalterprofile eine Anschlagwirkung entfaltet, die ein Durchschieben bzw. ein zu weites Hineinschieben des Linearverbinders in den Hohlraum der Abstandhalterprofile verhindert. The object of the invention is therefore the linear connector of the type mentioned to further develop that with sufficient rigidity and abrasion resistance of the connector material has the desired firm fit and in the connection area, i.e. in the middle of the body of the linear connector, when pushing on the spacer profiles The stop action unfolds, which means pushing or pushing the Linear connector prevented in the cavity of the spacer profiles.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die Lamellen elastisch verformbar sind und einen gebogenen oder abgewinkelten, krallenförmigen Querschnitt aufweisen, derart, daß sie mit ihrem hinteren Ende rechtwinklig oder nahezu rechtwinklig zur Körperlängsachse aus der Oberfläche der beiden Schmalseiten des Linearverbinderkörpers austreten und an ihrem vorderen Ende eine Spitze oder Kante besitzen, welche von einer ersten Fläche parallel oder nahezu parallel zur Körperlängsachse und einer zweiten Fläche senkrecht oder nahezu senkrecht zur Körperlängsachse gebildet wird.This object is achieved in that the slats are elastic are deformable and a curved or angled, claw-shaped cross section have, such that they are rectangular or almost rectangular with their rear end to the body longitudinal axis from the surface of the two narrow sides of the linear connector body emerge and have a point or edge at its front end, which of a first surface parallel or almost parallel to the body longitudinal axis and one second surface is formed perpendicular or almost perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the body.

Die für den vorgesehenen Verbindungszweck erforderliche Reibschlüssigkeit des aus Kunststoff bestehenden Verbinders, der mit einem rinnenförmigen, insbesondere U-förmigen Querschnitt für den Durchlauf des Molekularsiebs versehen ist, wird demnach durch eine besondere Ausgestaltung der Lamellen an den Schmalseiten des Linearverbinderkörpers sichergestellt, die mit Anschlagelementen, ebenfalls in Form elastischer Lamellen kombiniert sind, so daß das in den Hohlraum des Abstandhalterprofils eingeschobene Längenstück des Linearverbinderkörpers eine definierte Lage erhält und in dieser Lage auch festgehalten wird.The frictional engagement required for the intended connection purpose Plastic existing connector that with a trough-shaped, in particular U-shaped Cross-section for the passage of the molecular sieve is accordingly through a special design of the lamellae on the narrow sides of the linear connector body ensured that with stop elements, also in the form of elastic Slats are combined so that this is in the cavity of the spacer profile inserted linear piece of the linear connector body receives a defined position and in this situation is also recorded.

Die Lamellen auf den Schmalseiten des Linearverbinderkörpers sind, gemäß einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung des Erfindungsvorschlags, so ausgebildet, daß die erste Fläche an ihrem unteren Ende in eine gebogene Fläche übergeht, die senkrecht oder nahezu senkrecht auf die Oberfläche der Schmalseite stößt, und daß die zweite Fläche an ihrem hinteren, der Spitze oder Kante abgewandten Ende ebenfalls in eine gebogene Fläche übergeht, die gleichfalls senkrecht oder nahezu senkrecht auf die Oberfläche der Schmalseite stößt. Dabei können die beiden gebogenen Flächen den gleichen Krümmungsradius aufweisen, was bedeutet, daß sie parallel zueinander verlaufen.The slats on the narrow sides of the linear connector body are, according to one advantageous embodiment of the proposed invention, designed so that the first surface at its lower end it merges into a curved surface that is vertical or near perpendicular to the surface of the narrow side, and that the second surface on her rear end facing away from the tip or edge also in a curved surface passes, which is also perpendicular or almost perpendicular to the surface of the narrow side bumps. The two curved surfaces can have the same radius of curvature have, which means that they run parallel to each other.

Anstelle von gebogenen Flächen, die die Ober- und Unterseiten bzw. Vorder- und Hinterseiten der Lamellen begrenzen, hat es sich auch bewährt, die Konstruktion so weiterzubilden, daß die erste Fläche an ihrem unteren Ende in eine ebene Fläche übergeht, die in einem Winkeln α zur Körperlängsachse B geneigt ist und vor Erreichen der Oberfläche der Schmalseiten des Linearverbinderkörpers senkrecht oder nahezu senkrecht zu dieser Oberfläche abknickt und dadurch in eine senkrecht oder nahezu senkrecht verlaufende, gerade Fläche übergeht, und daß die zweite Fläche an ihrem hinteren, der Spitze oder Kante abgewandten Ende in eine gerade und unter einem Winkel β zur Körperlängsachse B und schräg zur Oberfläche der Schmalseiten verlaufende Fläche übergeht, die vor Erreichen der Oberfläche in eine senkrecht oder nahezu senkrecht zu dieser Oberfläche verlaufende, gerade Fläche übergeht. In diesem Fall ist also die Lamelle nicht gebogen sondern geknickt ausgeführt, wobei die beiden Winkel α und β auch gleich groß sein können. Zur Erzielung eines optimalen Anpreßdruckes der Lamellen an der Oberfläche der Hohlprofilwandung hat es sich bewährt, das untere Ende der ersten Fläche in Höhe des Auftreffpunktes der gekrümmten Fläche bzw. der geraden Fläche auf der Oberfläche der Schmalseiten des Linearverbinderkörpers anzuordnen.Instead of curved surfaces, the top and bottom sides or front and Limiting the rear of the slats, it has also proven to be of good design to further develop that the first surface merges into a flat surface at its lower end, which is inclined at an angle α to the body longitudinal axis B and before reaching the surface the narrow sides of the linear connector body perpendicular or almost perpendicular to this Surface kinks and thereby into a vertical or almost vertical, straight surface merges, and that the second surface at its rear, the tip or edge opposite end in a straight and at an angle β to the body longitudinal axis B and surface that runs diagonally to the surface of the narrow sides before reaching the Surface in a perpendicular or almost perpendicular to this surface, straight surface merges. In this case, the lamella is not bent but bent executed, the two angles α and β can also be the same size. To achieve has an optimal contact pressure of the slats on the surface of the hollow profile wall it has proven itself to be the lower end of the first surface at the point of impact of the curved surface or the straight surface on the surface of the narrow sides of the Arrange linear connector body.

Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind den Unteransprüchen zu entnehmen.Further advantageous refinements of the invention can be found in the subclaims remove.

Die in diesem Zusammenhang verwendete Bezeichnung "Querschnitt" bedeutet einen Schnitt durch eine Lamelle in der Ebene der Linearverbinderkörperlängsachse B, die in einige Zeichnungsfiguren eingezeichnet ist, in denen im übrigen entsprechende Teile mit demselben Bezugszeichen versehen worden sind.The term "cross section" used in this context means one Section through a lamella in the plane of the linear connector body longitudinal axis B, which in some drawing figures is drawn, in which, in the rest, corresponding parts with have been provided with the same reference number.

Bei jeder dieser Ausführungsformen besteht der Linearverbinder aus Kunststoff und ist zur Verbindung von hohlen, aus Metall oder Kunststoff oder einem anderen geeigneten Material bestehenden Abstandhalterprofilen von Mehrscheibenisoliergläsern vorgesehen. Er weist hierzu einen flachen, länglichen Körper 1 auf, von dem das eine Längenstück 9 in den Hohlraum des einen, nicht dargestellten Abstandhalterprofils und das andere Längenstück 10 in den Hohlraum des anderen, ebenfalls nicht dargestellten Abstandhalterprofils der beiden miteinander zu verbindenden Profilkörper einsteckbar sind. Bei den dargestellten Ausführungsformen weist der Linearverbinderkörper 1 einen U-förmigen Querschnitt für den Durchlauf des Molekularsiebs auf und ist in der Körpermitte C auf seinen beiden Schmalseiten 3, 4 durch nach außen gerichtete, höckerförmige Verstärkungselemente 5, 6 radial verstärkt, denen wenigstens je ein Anschlagelement in Form einer elastischen, zur Körpermitte C geneigten Lamelle 7, 8 gegenüberliegt, die beim Einschieben des Linearverbinderkörpers 1 in den Hohlraum des Abstandhalterprofils, wenn sie in Einschubrichtung vor der Körpermitte C liegt, von der Abstandhalterprofilstirnseite gegen das Verstärkungselement 5, 6 niederdrückbar und dabei plastisch verformbar ist, und sofern sie in Einschubrichtung hinter der Körpermitte C liegt, einen Einschubanschlag für die Abstandhalterprofilstirnseite bildet. Einschubanschlag bedeutet in diesem Zusammenhang, daß der Linearverbinderkörper beim Einschieben nicht über diesen Anschlag hinaus geschoben und damit zu weit eingeschoben werden kann.In each of these embodiments, the linear connector is made of plastic and is for Connection of hollow, metal or plastic or other suitable material existing spacer profiles of multi-pane insulating glass provided. He points For this purpose, a flat, elongated body 1, of which a length 9 in the Cavity of a spacer profile, not shown, and the other length 10 in the cavity of the other, also not shown spacer profile two profile bodies to be connected can be inserted. In the illustrated In embodiments, the linear connector body 1 has a U-shaped cross section the passage of the molecular sieve and is in the middle of the body C on its two Narrow sides 3, 4 by outwardly directed, hump-shaped reinforcing elements 5, 6 radially reinforced, which at least one stop element in the form of an elastic, for Body center C inclined lamella 7, 8 opposite, when inserting the Linear connector body 1 in the cavity of the spacer profile when in Insertion direction is in front of the center of the body C, from the spacer profile front side against the reinforcing element 5, 6 can be depressed and plastically deformed, and if so it lies in the direction of insertion behind the center of the body C, an insertion stop for the Spacer profile face forms. In this context, insertion stop means that the linear connector body does not exceed this stop when inserted can be pushed and thus inserted too far.

Wie aus den in den Figuren 1 und 2 dargestellten beiden Ausführungsformen ersichtlich, sind die parallelen Schmalseiten 3, 4 des Verbinderkörpers mit Lamellen 27 der in Fig. 3 dargestellten Art ausgestattet, wobei diese Art auch durch die in Fig. 4 gezeigte Ausgestaltung einer Lamelle 28 ersetzt werden kann.As can be seen from the two embodiments shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the parallel narrow sides 3, 4 of the connector body with lamellae 27 are those in FIG. 3 shown type equipped, this type also by that shown in Fig. 4 Design of a lamella 28 can be replaced.

Diese Lamellen 27, 28 sind in Richtung der Verbindungskörperlängsachse B mit Abstand voneinander und hintereinander angeordnet und jeweils zur Körperlängenmitte hin ausgerichtet. Das bedeutet, die in den Figuren 1a und 1c sowie 2a und 2c dargestellten Lamellen in der oberen Hälfte des Verbinderkörpers 1 weisen in Richtung zur Körpermitte C hin, also nach unten und die in der unteren Hälfte des Verbinderkörpers befindlichen Lamellen 27 weisen nach oben, ebenfalls in Richtung zur Körperlängenmitte C. Zu diesem Zweck weisen die elastischen Lamellen 27, 28 einen gebogenen oder abgewinkelten Querschnitt auf, derart, daß sie mit ihrem hinteren Ende 29 rechtwinklig oder nahezu rechtwinklig zur Körperlängsachse B aus der Oberfläche der beiden Schmalseiten 3, 4 austreten und an ihrem vorderen Ende 30 eine Spitze oder Kante 41 besitzen, welche von einer ersten Fläche 31 parallel oder nahezu parallel zur Körperlängsachse B und einer zweiten Fläche 32 senkrecht oder nahezu senkrecht zur Körperlängsachse B gebildet wird.These fins 27, 28 are spaced in the direction of the longitudinal axis B of the connecting body from each other and arranged one behind the other and each towards the middle of the body length aligned. This means that shown in Figures 1a and 1c and 2a and 2c Slats in the upper half of the connector body 1 point towards the center of the body C towards the bottom and those located in the lower half of the connector body Slats 27 point upwards, also in the direction of the middle of body length C. To this The elastic slats 27, 28 have a curved or angled purpose Cross-section on, such that they are rectangular or nearly with their rear end 29 perpendicular to the body longitudinal axis B from the surface of the two narrow sides 3, 4 emerge and have at their front end 30 a tip or edge 41 which of a first surface 31 parallel or almost parallel to the body longitudinal axis B and one second surface 32 is formed perpendicular or almost perpendicular to the body longitudinal axis B.

Die erste Fläche 31 geht, wie aus Fig. 4 ersichtlich, an ihrem unteren Ende 39 in eine gebogene Fläche 33 über, die senkrecht oder nahezu senkrecht auf die Oberfläche der Schmalseiten 3, 4 stößt, von denen nur eine in der Zeichnung zum Teil dargestellt ist, deren Lage jedoch deutlicher aus Fig. 1a entnommen werden kann. Die zweite Fläche 32 geht an ihren hinteren, der Spitze oder Kante 41 abgewandten Ende 42 in eine gebogene Fläche 34 über, die ebenfalls senkrecht oder nahezu senkrecht auf die Oberfläche der Schmalseite 3, 4 stößt.4, at its lower end 39, the first surface 31 merges into a curved surface 33, which is perpendicular or almost perpendicular to the surface of the Narrow sides 3, 4 bumps, of which only one is partially shown in the drawing, the However, the location can be seen more clearly from FIG. 1a. The second surface 32 comes on its rear end 42 facing away from the tip or edge 41 into a curved surface 34 over, which are also perpendicular or almost perpendicular to the surface of the narrow side 3, 4th bumps.

Für den Fall, daß die Lamelle 38 nicht, wie in Fig. 4 dargestellt, in Richtung auf die Körperlängenmitte C gebogen oder gekrümmt ist, sondern eine abgewinkelte Konfiguration aufweist, die in Fig. 3 dargestellt ist, geht die erste Fläche 31 an ihrem unteren Ende 39 in eine ebene Fläche 35 über, die in einem Winkeln α zur Körperlängsachse B geneigt ist und vor Erreichen der Oberfläche der Schmalseiten 3, 4 senkrecht oder nahezu senkrecht zu dieser Oberfläche abknickt und dadurch in eine senkrecht oder nahezu senkrecht verlaufende gerade Fläche 36 übergeht. Die zweite Fläche 32 geht an ihrem hinteren, der Spitze oder Kante 41 abgewandten Ende 42 in eine gerade und unter einem Winkel β zur Körperlängsachse B sowie schräg zur Oberfläche der Schmalseiten 3, 4 verlaufende Fläche 37 über, die vor Erreichen der Oberfläche der Schmalseiten in eine senkrecht oder nahezu senkrecht zu dieser Oberfläche verlaufende, gerade Fläche 38 übergeht. Für den Fall, daß die beiden Winkel α und β gleich groß sind, verlaufen die beiden einander gegenüberliegenden Flächen 35 und 37 parallel zueinander. Üblicherweise ist jedoch der Querschnitt der Lamelle im Bereich des Lamellenübergangs in die Oberfläche 29 der Schmalseiten 3, 4 etwas verstärkt, um die Krafteinleitung zu verbessern und zu verhindern, daß die Lamelle unter den beim Einbau des Geradverbinders in den Hohlraum auftretenden Materialspannungen reißt.In the event that the lamella 38 is not, as shown in Fig. 4, towards the Body length center C is curved or curved, but an angled configuration 3, the first surface 31 goes into its lower end 39 in a flat surface 35, which is inclined at an angle α to the longitudinal axis B and before reaching the surface of the narrow sides 3, 4 perpendicular or almost perpendicular to kinks this surface and thereby into a vertical or almost vertical extending straight surface 36 merges. The second surface 32 goes on its rear, the Tip or edge 41 facing away from end 42 in a straight line and at an angle β to Body longitudinal axis B and surface oblique to the surface of the narrow sides 3, 4 37 above that before reaching the surface of the narrow sides in a vertical or almost straight surface 38 extending perpendicular to this surface merges. In case that the two angles α and β are the same size, the two run each other opposite surfaces 35 and 37 parallel to each other. Usually, however, is the Cross section of the lamella in the area of the lamella transition into the surface 29 of the Narrow sides 3, 4 slightly reinforced to improve and prevent force transmission that the lamella under those that occur when installing the straight connector in the cavity Material tension breaks.

In jedem Fall ist aber die Konstruktion bei den dargestellten Lamellenausführungsformen so ausgebildet, daß das untere Ende 39 der ersten Fläche 31 in Höhe des Auftreffpunktes 40 bzw. der Auftrefflinie der gekrümmten Fläche 34 oder der geraden Fläche 38 auf der Oberfläche 29 der Schmalseiten 3, 4 liegt, wie dies durch die gestrichelte Linie A in Fig. 4 angedeutet ist. Dadurch wird nämlich erreicht, daß beim Einbau des Linearverbinders 1 in die Hohlräume der Abstandhalterprofile die Lamellen zunächst in Richtung auf die Körperlängsachse B zusammengepreßt werden, wobei die im entspannten Zustand der Lamellen 27, 38 parallel zur Körperlängsachse B gerichteten Flächen 31 der Lamellen um das eine Kante darstellende untere Ende 39 dieser Fläche etwas nach innen geschwenkt werden, wodurch sich das Einschieben erleichtert, weil in diesem Fall nicht nur die gesamte Oberfläche der Fläche 31 an der gegenüberliegenden Oberfläche der Hohlprofilwandung anliegt. Sobald der Einschubvorgang beendet ist, der Linearverbinder also seine Einbauposition erreicht hat, tritt dann eine geringfügige Entspannung der Lamelle derart ein, daß diese um die Kante 39 in Richtung auf die gegenüberliegende Oberfläche der Hohlraumwandung zurückkippt, um dadurch die gesamte Fläche 31 zur Anlage auf dieser Oberfläche des Hohlprofilraums zu bringen, sich also gewissermaßen in der Oberfläche des Hohlprofilkörpers festzukrallen, weil diese Oberfläche in der Regel nicht absolut eben ist. Dadurch erhöht sich der Reibschluß wesentlich, so daß die Lamellen insgesamt dem Linearverbinderkörper 1 im Hohlraum der Abstandhalterprofile einen festeren Halt verleihen als dies bisher beobachtet wurde. Die Tatsache, daß der Punkt 39 der Flächen 31, auch ihr unteres Ende genannt, auf derselben Höhe A liegt wie der Auftreffpunkt 40 bzw. die Auftrefflinie der gekrümmten Fläche 34 auf der Oberfläche 29 der Schmalseiten, hat die oben geschilderte günstige Wirkung zur Folge, weil der Lamellenteil, der oberhalb der mit A bezeichneten Linie liegt, nicht in der Weise auf den Schmalseiten des Verbinderkörpers abgestützt wird, wie der unterhalb der Linie A befindliche Lamellenteil und deshalb leichter nach innen, d.h. in Richtung auf die Körperlängsachse B elastisch verformen läßt.In any case, the construction is the same with the illustrated lamella embodiments formed that the lower end 39 of the first surface 31 at the point of impact 40th or the line of incidence of the curved surface 34 or the straight surface 38 on the Surface 29 of the narrow sides 3, 4 lies, as is shown by the dashed line A in FIG. 4 is indicated. This means that when installing the linear connector 1 in the cavities of the spacer profiles the slats first in the direction of the Body longitudinal axis B are pressed together, the in the relaxed state Slats 27, 38 faces 31 of the slats directed parallel to the longitudinal axis B of the body the lower end 39 of this surface, which represents an edge, is pivoted somewhat inwards , which makes insertion easier, because in this case not only the entire Surface of the surface 31 on the opposite surface of the hollow profile wall is present. As soon as the insertion process is finished, the linear connector is his Has reached the installation position, there is then a slight relaxation of the lamella, that this around the edge 39 towards the opposite surface of the Cavity wall tilts back, thereby thereby the entire surface 31 to rest on this Bring surface of the hollow profile space, so to speak in the surface of the To firmly claw the hollow profile body, because this surface is usually not absolutely flat. This significantly increases the frictional engagement, so that the lamellae overall Give the linear connector body 1 a firmer hold in the cavity of the spacer profiles than has been observed so far. The fact that the point 39 of the surfaces 31, you too called lower end, is at the same height A as the point of impact 40 or the The line of incidence of the curved surface 34 on the surface 29 of the narrow sides has the Favorable effect described above result because the lamella part, which above that with A designated line is not in the manner on the narrow sides of the connector body is supported, like the slat part located below line A and therefore lighter inwards, i.e. can elastically deform in the direction of the body longitudinal axis B.

Weitere Ausbildungen der Lamellenkonfiguration können vorsehen, daß die erste Fläche 31, gemessen in Richtung der Körperlängsachse B, doppelt so lang ist wie die zweite Fläche 32, gemessen senkrecht zur Körperlängsachse B, und der Querschnitt der Lamellen 27, 28 kann sich auch in Richtung auf die Spitzen oder Kanten 41 verjüngen.Further configurations of the lamella configuration can provide that the 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 taper towards the tips or edges 41.

Zur Verbesserung der Festigkeit des Linearverbinderkörpers insgesamt hat es sich, wie aus Fig. 2 ersichtlich, bewährt, die Schmalseiten 3, 4 des vollständig oder nahezu vollständig rinnenförmigen, insbesondere U-förmigen Querschnitts des Geradverbinders, wie bei dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel benutzt, durch einen Quersteg 19 zu verbinden, dessen nach innen gerichtete Oberfläche 43 einen in Richtung der Körperlängsachse B verlaufenden Mittelsteg 44 aufweist.To improve the strength of the linear connector body as a whole, it has turned out 2, proven, the narrow sides 3, 4 of the completely or almost completely trough-shaped, in particular U-shaped cross section of the straight connector, as in the illustrated embodiment used to connect by a crossbar 19, the surface 43 directed inward in the direction of the body longitudinal axis B. Center bar 44 has.

Die an den Schmalseiten im Bereich der Linearverbinderkörpermitte C angeordneten radialen, höckerartigen Verstärkungselemente 5, 6 (Fig. 1) und 44, 45 (Fig. 2) dienen ebenfalls zur Versteifung des U-Profils, um mögliche Verwindungskräfte beim Zusammenbau der Abstandhalterprofilenden aufzunehmen und damit einer Verformung des Linearverbinders in diesem Bereich entgegenzuwirken. Sie können, wie aus Fig. 1 ersichtlich, mit Hinterschneidungen 23, 24 versehen sein, welche als Auflage beim Niederdrücken der als Anschlagelement dienenden Lamellen 7, 8 wirken, wenn der Linearverbinder in den Abstandprofilhohlraum hineingeschoben bzw. eingepreßt wird. Dann überfahren nämlich die Stirnflächen der Abstandhalterprofile die nach außen ragenden Lamellen 7, 8, und da deren freie Enden über den Außenumfang der Lamellen 27, 28 hinausragen, werden sie von diesen Stirnflächen erfaßt und gegen die Körperoberfläche nach unten gebogen. Die mit den Hinterschneidungen 23, 24 im Einbauzustand eine Einheit bildenden Lamellen wirken dann ebenfalls als versteifende Elemente, da sie mit den von den Hinterschneidungen gebildeten Auflagern in kraftübertragender Berührung stehen. Arranged on the narrow sides in the area of the center of the linear connector body C. radial, bump-like reinforcing elements 5, 6 (Fig. 1) and 44, 45 (Fig. 2) are used also for stiffening the U-profile to avoid possible torsional forces during assembly the spacer profile ends and thus a deformation of the To counteract linear connectors in this area. You can, as from Fig. 1st can be seen, provided with undercuts 23, 24, which as a support at Depressing the slats 7, 8 serving as a stop element act when the Linear connector is pushed or pressed into the spacer profile cavity. Then namely, the end faces of the spacer profiles run over those that protrude outwards Slats 7, 8, and since their free ends over the outer circumference of the slats 27, 28th protrude, they are grasped by these end faces and against the body surface bent down. The one with the undercuts 23, 24 in the installed state Forming lamellae then also act as stiffening elements, since they coincide with those of the Undercuts formed supports are in force-transmitting contact.

Wie insbesondere aus den Figuren 2c und 2e ersichtlich, werden die höckerförmigen Verstärkungselemente 44, 45 in Körperlängsachse B von einer lotrecht auf der Körperoberfläche stehenden Wand 46 und einer schräg zu ihr verlaufenden Wand 47 begrenzt.As can be seen in particular from FIGS. 2c and 2e, the bumps become Reinforcing elements 44, 45 in the body longitudinal axis B from a perpendicular to the body surface standing wall 46 and a wall 47 which extends obliquely to it.

Die Hauptfunktion der im Bereich der Körpermitte des Linearverbinders befindlichen geneigten Lamellen 7, 8 ist jedoch die Anschlagfunktion. Zu diesem Zweck wird zweckmäßigerweise je eine Lamelle 7, 8 beidseitig der Körpermitte C angeordnet, so daß die freien Enden der beiden Lamellen in entgegengesetzte Richtungen weisen. Auf diese Weise ist sichergestellt, daß der Linearverbinder in beliebiger Richtung in die Abstandhalterprofile eingebaut werden kann, ohne daß die Körpermitte C von den Profilstirnseiten überfahren wird.The main function of those located in the area of the center of the body of the linear connector inclined slats 7, 8 is the stop function. For this purpose expediently each a lamella 7, 8 arranged on both sides of the body center C, so that the free ends of the two slats point in opposite directions. To this This ensures that the linear connector in any direction in the Spacer profiles can be installed without the body center C of the Profile end faces is run over.

Die höckerförmigen Verstärkungselemente 5, 6 sind, was die Höhe ihrer Ehebung über die Oberfläche der Schmalseiten 3, 4 anbelangt, wie aus der Zeichnung ersichtlich, kleiner als die verformbaren Lamellen 27, 28 und selbstverständlich auch kleiner als die als Anschlagelement dienenden Lamellen 7, 8. Ihre Höhe kann so bemessen sein, daß sie mit den endseitigen schrägen Auflaufkörpern 21, 22 übereinstimmt, die dazu dienen, das Einführen des Linearverbinders in den Hohlraum der Abstandhalterprofile zu erleichtern.The bump-shaped reinforcing elements 5, 6 are what the height of their elevation on the Surface of the narrow sides 3, 4, as can be seen from the drawing, is smaller than the deformable slats 27, 28 and of course also smaller than that Stop element serving slats 7, 8. Their height can be such that they with the end oblique casserole bodies 21, 22 which serve to serve the To facilitate insertion of the linear connector into the cavity of the spacer profiles.

Wie aus den Fig. 1 und 2 ersichtlich, kann der Quersteg 19 des U-förmigen Profils des Linearverbinderkörpers 1 mit Durchbrüchen 20 versehen sein, die na. zu Materialersparnis dienen. Außerdem können Querrippen 17, 18 benutzt werden, die sich beidseitig der Linearkörpermitte C befinden und verhindern, daß das Molekularsieb durch den Spalt, der nach dem Einbau zwischen den beiden gegenüberliegenden Stirnseiten der Abstandhalterprofile gewöhnlich vorhanden ist, hindurchtritt und aus dem Abstandhalterprofil herausfällt. Diese Querrippen können so angeordnet werden, daß sie sich an die die Wandreibung bewirkenden Lamellen 27, 28 anschließen, wie aus den Fig. 1c und Fig. 2c ersichtlich ist. Darüberhinaus können die Lamellen 27, 28 eine Höhe H aufweisen, die etwa der Höhe der Schmalseiten 3, 4 entspricht.As can be seen from FIGS. 1 and 2, the cross piece 19 of the U-shaped profile of the Linear connector body 1 may be provided with openings 20, the na. To save material serve. In addition, transverse ribs 17, 18 can be used, which are on both sides of the Are linear body center C and prevent the molecular sieve through the gap, the after installation between the two opposite ends of the Spacer profiles usually exist, pass through and out of the spacer profile falls out. These cross ribs can be arranged so that they adhere to the Connect the lamellae 27, 28 which cause wall friction, as in FIGS. 1c and 2c can be seen. In addition, the slats 27, 28 can have a height H, which is approximately the height of the narrow sides 3, 4 corresponds.
