Connector for Joining Rectangular Hollow Profiles in Multiple Directions

Simple SummaryContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

The invention is a connector system for rectangular hollow profiles that allows these hollow sections to be easily joined either in a straight line for extension or at right angles in multiple directions. The system uses mechanical connectors inserted into aligned openings in the profile walls and secured by screws or clamps, making assemblies easy to configure, extend, or modify without fixed assembly sequences.

Patent Abstract

The invention relates to hollow profile connections for connecting hollow profiles having rectangular cross-sections for extending or connecting at right angles in all spatial directions. The hollow profile connections are distinguished in particular by the fact that hollow profiles having rectangular cross-sections can be easily extended and connected at right angles to one another. For this purpose, the end region of a first hollow profile and a second hollow profile have openings arranged correspondingly to one another in opposite walls. Two opposite walls of two hollow profiles are each bridged by means of a body such that the end regions of the bodies are arranged in the openings and the bodies are arranged parallel to one another in the hollow profiles. Furthermore, the bodies are connected to one another via at least one screw or clamping connection. The hollow profile connections allow connection in multiple directions at a connection point. In this way, any assembly sequence as well as subsequent attachment of elements to the existing system is made possible.
