Connector for two workpieces
The invention relates to a connector for two workpieces, comprising two fittings which each have a mounting face for a workpiece and an opposite connecting face, on which they can be hooked into one another in a hooking direction extending in parallel with the connecting face. Each fitting comprises, on its connecting face, a shoulder which extends transversely to the hooking direction over its entire width and comprises an undercut, which leaves a ridge on the shoulder. The end face of each fitting remote from the shoulder and adjacent to the connecting face has a lip adjacent to the connecting face and extending over its entire width transversely to the hooking direction. The lip of each fitting engages in the undercut in the respective other fitting in a first position of the fittings in which they are hooked into one another.
1. A connector for two workpieces, comprising:
two fittings which each have a mounting face for a workpiece and an opposite connecting face, on which they can be hooked into one another in a hooking direction extending in parallel with the connecting face,
wherein each fitting comprises, on the connecting face, a shoulder which extends transversely to the hooking direction over an entire width of the fitting and comprises an undercut, which leaves a ridge on the shoulder,
wherein an end face of each fitting, which end face is remote from the shoulder and adjacent to the connecting face, has a lip adjacent to the connecting face and extending over said entire width transversely to the hooking direction,
wherein the lip of each fitting engages in the undercut in the respective other fitting in a first position of the fittings in which they are hooked into one another, and
wherein the shoulder and the ridge have a protrusion in the extension over the width of the fitting and said end face and the lip have an indentation that is complementary to the protrusion in the extension over the width of the fitting.
2. The connector according to claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the lip is less than a clear width of the undercut.
3. The connector according to claim 1 , wherein the ridge of one fitting engages in the undercut in the other fitting in a second position of the fittings in which they are hooked into one another.
4. The connector according to claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the ridge is less than a clear width of the undercut.
5. A connector for two workpieces, comprising:
two fittings which each have a mounting face for a workpiece and an opposite connecting face, on which they can be hooked into one another in a hooking direction extending in parallel with the connecting face,
wherein each fitting comprises, on the connecting face, a shoulder which extends transversely to the hooking direction over an entire width of the fitting and comprises an undercut, which leaves a ridge on the shoulder,
wherein an end face of each fitting, which end face is remote from the shoulder and adjacent to the connecting face, has a lip adjacent to the connecting face and extending over said entire width transversely to the hooking direction,
wherein the lip of each fitting engages in the undercut in the respective other fitting in a first position of the fittings in which they are hooked into one another, and
wherein an aligning pin, which engages in an aligning notch in the lip during hooking in order to align the fittings with one another transversely to the hooking direction, is arranged in the undercut.
6. The connector according to claim 5 , wherein one fitting is equipped with a latching hook which can snap into a recess in the other fitting in a sprung manner.
7. The connector according to claim 6 , wherein the latching hook is anchored at one end in a groove in the mounting face and projects over the lip at the other end and can snap into the recess in the other fitting, which recess is formed on the shoulder of the latter.
8. The connector according to claim 1 , further comprising a substantially U-shaped sprung bracket having hooked ends, which engages over one fitting and can snap into lateral recesses in the other fitting by the hooked ends.
9. The connector according to claim 8 , wherein a central portion of the bracket between the hooked ends extends to be substantially flush in a U-shaped recess in one fitting.
10. The connector according to claim 9 , wherein the U-shaped recess has a central depression, into which the central portion of the bracket can be pressed in order to spread apart the hooked ends.
11. The connector according to claim 1 , wherein each fitting is penetrated both by holes normal to the mounting face and by holes oblique to the mounting face.
12. A connector for two workpieces, comprising:
two fittings which each have a mounting face for a workpiece and an opposite connecting face, on which they can be hooked into one another in a hooking direction extending in parallel with the connecting face,
wherein each fitting comprises, on the connecting face, a shoulder which extends transversely to the hooking direction over an entire width of the fitting and comprises an undercut, which leaves a ridge on the shoulder,
wherein an end face of each fitting, which end face is remote from the shoulder and adjacent to the connecting face, has a lip adjacent to the connecting face and extending over said entire width transversely to the hooking direction,
wherein the lip of each fitting engages in the undercut in the respective other fitting in a first position of the fittings in which they are hooked into one another, and
wherein the ridge is extended to form a bearing plate projecting out from the connecting face at an angle, such that each fitting mounted on one of the workpieces by its mounting face can engage with the other one of the workpieces not only by the respective other fitting, but additionally in a supporting manner by each fitting's bearing plate.
13. The connector according to claim 12 , wherein the bearing plate comprises at least one hole that penetrates the bearing plate in a normal or oblique manner.
14. The connector according to claim 5 , wherein a thickness of the lip is less than a clear width of the undercut.
15. The connector according to claim 5 , wherein the ridge of one fitting engages in the undercut in the other fitting in a second position of the fittings in which they are hooked into one another.
16. The connector according to claim 5 , wherein a thickness of the ridge is less than a clear width of the undercut.
17. The connector according to claim 5 , further comprising a substantially U-shaped sprung bracket having hooked ends, which engages over one fitting and can snap into lateral recesses in the other fitting by the hooked ends.
18. The connector according to claim 17 , wherein a central portion of the bracket between the hooked ends extends to be substantially flush in a U-shaped recess in one fitting.
19. The connector according to claim 18 , wherein the U-shaped recess has a central depression, into which the central portion of the bracket can be pressed in order to spread apart the hooked ends.
20. The connector according to claim 5 , wherein each fitting is penetrated both by holes normal to the mounting face and by holes oblique to the mounting face.
