Connector for two workpieces
The present disclosed subject matter relates to a connector for two workpieces, which are in particular made of wood. The connector comprises a first and a second fitting which may be mounted on one of the workpieces each by their one side and may be anchored to one another by their other sides, and which each have a circumferential edge between their one and other side. At least the first fitting has a projection with an undercut on its other side and the second fitting has a slot, starting from its edge and corresponding to the undercut, for anchoring the projection. At least one of the fittings has a protrusion on its other side and running transverse to the direction of the slot for resting of the edge of the other fitting when the projection is in the position anchored in the slot.
1. A connector for two workpieces, comprising:
a first and a second fitting each having one side and an other side, which each of said fittings may be mounted on one of the workpieces each by its respective one side and which fittings may be anchored to one another by their respective other sides, and which fittings each have a circumferential edge between their one and other side,
wherein at least the first fitting has a projection with an undercut on its other side and the second fitting has a slot, starting from its edge and corresponding to the undercut, for anchoring the projection,
wherein at least one of the fittings has a protrusion on its other side and running transverse to the direction of the slot for resting of the edge of the other fitting when the projection is in the position anchored in the slot, wherein the projection is formed by a stud which protrudes from said other side and has a widened head, said stud being mounted axially movable on the first fitting and being spring-loaded with its head towards said one side of the first fitting.
2. The connector according to claim 1 , wherein the protrusion is formed integrally on said at least one of the fittings or is welded thereto.
3. The connector according to claim 1 , wherein the protrusion is cuboidal and is penetrated by bores for receiving screws for mounting on one of the workpieces.
4. The connector according to claim 3 , wherein at least one of the bores penetrates the protrusion at an acute angle to the one side of said at least one of the fittings, and the protrusion has a chamfer from which this at least one of the bores starts.
5. The connector according to claim 3 , wherein at least one of the bores has a cylindrical widening on the one side of said at least one of the fittings.
6. The connector according to claim 1 , wherein the fittings are substantially congruent and have edge portions approximately parallel to the aforesaid slot, wherein cheeks are formed at the edge portions of at least one of the fittings, with the other fitting being laterally held between said cheeks when the projection is in the position anchored in the slot.
7. The connector according to claim 1 , wherein the slot has a V-shaped mouth.
8. The connector according to claim 1 , wherein both fittings have an identical form or are mirror-symmetrical to one another.
