The rods (2a,b) are connected spaced from each other by a connector (3) having a locking bolt (7) and expanding device (C). The locking bolt (7) is clip shaped and fits at the top end (B) into a rear cut groove of one rod and at the bottom (A) into an end cavity of the other rod (2a). The expanding device (C) has an eccentric bolt (8a) which between the two rods spreads open the two arms (7a,b) of the locking bolt across the longitudinal direction and thereby detachably connects the relevant ends of the locking bolt by clamping action to the associated rod. The locking bolt (7) can be U-shaped with the two arms running parallel to each other and pressed with their outsides against the cavity of the rod. The outsides can be suitably profiled to engage with corresponding profiling in the cavity of the rod.

Description

FRAME WITH AT LEAST TWO HOLLOW BARS S. EXTENDING AT RIGHT ANGLES TO ONE ANOTHER FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention pertains to a frame with at least two hollow bars extending at right angles to one another and with at least one connector, which connects the two hollow bars at a distance from one another and has a locking body and an expanding means, in which the locking body engages an undercut groove of one of the bars with one head end and a front-side hollow space of the other hollow bar with a foot end.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION A frame of this class has been known from the Applicant’s Patent No. EP-A-0 493 319. This is especially suitable for the installation of plumbing units. It offers the special advantage that hollow bars cut to any g desired length can be detachably connected to one another without any subsequent processing in a very simple manner and rapidly. The connectors provided in this frame have expanding means, which comprises two wedges mounted displaceably in a housing. These wedges a;e pushed against the ends of the connector and away from one another by rotating a rotary part arranged between them, and the foot end and the head end of the connector are maintained expanded as a result. The wedges and the rotary part have a relatively complicated design, and they require a relatively great distance between the foot end and the head end.
44 Summary and Objects of the Invention 10 The primary object of the present invention is to provide a frame of the abovedescribed class, which can be manufactured in a simpler manner and at a lower cost, and which can nevertheless be installed in a simple manner and reliably.
According to the present invention in a first aspect there is provided a frame comprising: a first elongated hollow bar including an outer surface and an outer undercut groove recessed within said outer surface and a second elongated hollow bar having an end surface perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of said second hollow bar and an outer undercut groove; connector means for connecting said first hollow bar substantially at a right 20 angle with respect to said second hollow bar and with said end surface of said second R •hollow bar being spaced a connection distance away from said outer surface of said first hollow bar, said connector means including a locking body with a head end connectable IN:\LIBTTI01 143:hrw Y with said undercut groove of said first hollow bar and a foot end connectable to a frontside hollow space of said second hollow bar, said foot end including two legs, said locking body forming a clamp, said connector means further including expanding means pivotable about an axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of said first hollow bar and being positioned in said connection distance and for directly expanding said head end to engage said undercut groove of said first hollow bar and for directly expanding said legs at right angles to a longitudinal direction to cause an outer side of said legs to positively lock with said second hollow bar, thereby allowing detachable connection of said head end of said locking body to said first hollow bar and allowing detachable O 10o connection of said foot end of said locking body to said second hollow bar.
Goes One essential advantage of the frame according to the present invention is considered to be the fact that the connection between adjacent hollow bars is substantially simpler than in the prior-art frame. The distance between adjacent bars may be essentially equal to the diameter of the eccentric bolt and it can consequently be shorter than before.
According to a second aspect of the invention there is provided a frame So I U •0 comprising a first elongated hollow bar including an outer surface and an outer undercut groove and a second elongated hollow bar having an end surface perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of said second hollow bar and including an outer undercut 20 groove; *connector means for connecting said first hollow bar to said second hollow bar at a right angle with respect to said second hollow bar and with said end surface of said second 1hollow bar being spaced a connection distance away from said outer surface of IN:\LIBTTIO1 143:h II II 4444 4.* 6 0 «l 4 4 f

4, said first hollow bar, said connector means including a locking body with a head end connectable with said undercut groove of said first hollow bar and a foot end connectable to a front-side hollow space of said second hollow bar, said foot end including two legs, said connector means further including a single expanding means pivotable about an axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of said first hollow bar for directly expanding said head end to engage said undercut groove of said first hollow bar and for directly expanding said legs at right angles to a longitudinal direction to cause an outer side of said legs to positively lock with an inside of said second hollow bar.
The various features of novelty which characterise the invention are pointed 10 out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure.
For a Detter understanding of the invention, its operating advantages and specific objects attained by its uses, reference is made to the accompanying drawings and descriptive matter in which a preferred embodiment of the invention is illustrated.
Brief Description of the Drawings 15 A preferred form of the present invention will now be described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein: Figure 1 is a sectional view of a frame; Figure 2 is a partial view of the frame according to Figure 1; Figure 3 is a schematic view showing the joining of a connector with two 20 hollow bars extending at right angels to one another; Figure 4 is a view of an expanding element; and Figure 5 is another view of the expanding element according to Figure 4.
IN:\LIBTTI01143:hrw Detailed Description of the Preferred Embodiment Figure 1 shows a plurality of hollow bars 2 (known per se), which are detachably connected to connectors 3 to form a frame, which may be covered with plates. Installed parts, not shown, eg., fitting plates, may be arranged on the frame.
The frame 1 usually rests on the floor of a building and is used as a support, eg., for plumbing units.
The hollow bars 2, made of, eg., sheet metal, have a square cross section and four dovetail grooves 5 extending over their entire length. These grooves 5 are profiled on their groove bottom 5a, eg., with flutes 6 extending at right angles to the 10 longitudinal direction of the bar. These flutes 6 are prepared by embossing, so that corresponding ribs 6a are present in a hollow space 17. The hollow bars 2 are thus provided with profiled sections on the outside and on the inside. All bars 2 of the frame are preferably identical. However, different bars as well as additional support parts may obviously be used as well.
The connectors 3 are also preferably all of the same design.
Each of the connectors 3 has a foot end A, a head end B as well as an expanding means C. The foot end A is formed by two legs 7a and 7b elastically connected to one another via a web 7c. In the view according to Figure 3, the foot end A is U-shaped. As is apparent especially from Figure 2, the legs 7a and 7b are 20 provided on the outside with flutes 7d, which are designed corresponding to the ribs 6a.
The foot end A is dimensioned such |N:\LIBTTI01143:hrw tb- can be placed over its entire length into a front-side hollow space 17 of a hollow bar 2 and can be removed therefrom without resistance. The foot end A is preferably dimensioned such that it can be introduced into the hollow space 17 without compressing the legs 7a and 7b.
The head end B has two locking cams 10a and lOb, which are separated from one another by an obliquely extending slot 10c. A plurality of teeth 10d, which are designed corresponding to the flutes 6, are formed on the front side of the locking cam The expanding means C has an expanding block 9 comprising of two sections 9b and 9c of the legs 7a and 7b, which are likewise separated from one another, and between which a noncircular space 9a is arranged for accommodating an eccentric bolt 8a of an expanding element 8. The recess 9a is connected to the slot 10c. The eccentric bolt 8a can thus be detachably inserted into the recess 9a through the slot 10c by expanding the legs 7a and 7b. In addition, it can be rotated in the recess 9a by a lever 8d made in one piece with it. As is shown in Figures 2 and 3, the lever 8d extends to the outside through a slot 10e of the expanding block 9.
The eccentric bolt 8a has a noncircular, square cross section, as is shown in the drawing. The recess 9a is designed such that the legs 7a and 7b as well as the locking cams 10a and 10b are expanded to the maximum extent when the lever 8d is pivoted into a groove 5, as is shown in Figure 1, and thus it extends in parallel to the adjacent hollow bar 2.
A dog 8b, which has at least two teeth 8c on its front side, is made in one piece with the eccentric bolt 8a. According to Figure 4, the dog 8b is substantially narrower than the eccentric bolt 8a, and it extends through the slot 10e of the locking cam 10b to the front side of the locking body 7.
The length of the dog 8b is great enough for the teeth 8c to project beyond the locking dog 10b on the front side with the lever 8d pivc:td in and to lie aligned with the teeth 10d. With the lever 8d and the dog 8b, the eccentric 0 bolt 8a forms a one-piece expanding element 8, which is preferably made of 0. a suitable metal as a casting.
The connection of two bars 2a and 2b will be explained in greater detail below based especially on Figure 3. To connect the bar 2a to the bar 2b extending at right angles thereto, a connector 3 is first inserted with the foot end A into a front-side hollow space 17 of the bar 2a, until a shoulder surface 9d of the expanding block 9 comes into contact with the front-side “15 section surface F of the hollow bar 2a, as is shown in Figure 3. The connector 3 can be inserted into the hollow space 17 in each of the four possible rotation positions in terms of its longitudinal axis. The lever 8d is also pivoted out as shown. The section bar 2b is now placed on the head end B of the connector 3 in the direction of arrow 14, until the hollow bar comes into flat contact with a front-side shoulder 9e of the expanding block 9. The locking dogs 10a and 10b are then completely recessed in a groove and the teeth 10d made in one piece engage flutes 6 on the bottom 5a of the groove. The lever 8 is subsequently pivoted in the directic. 1 of arrow until it is recessed in a groove 5 and does not project to the side. The legs 7a and 7b as well as the locking cams 10a and 10b are expanded during this rotary movement, and they are tensioned in the process against the inside of the hollow space 17 and of the groove 5, respectively. The dog 8b is pivoted at the same time with the lever 8d, and the teeth 8c are aligned with the teeth 10d. The expanding bolt 8a is now in the position shown at S’ several locations in Figure 1. The counterpressure of the sections 9a and
S
9c loads, symmetrically distributed, the four edges of the expanding bolt 8a.
0S* This cannot therefore rotate by itself even under a high counterpressure.
In the joined state, the connector 3 is thus connected at its foot end A to the hollow bar 2a by the profiled sections on the inside of the hollow bar 2a and on the outside of the legs 7a and 7b in a positive-locking manner. There is also a positive-locking connection between the hollow bar “‘It 2b and the head end B through the teeth 10d of the locking body 7 and the teeth 8c of the expanding element 8. The locking body 7 thus forms a clamp, which firmly connects the two hollow bars 2a and 2b to one another.
It is essential, in particular, for the foot end A not to be able to be pulled out in the longitudinal direction of the hollow bar 7a even under a strong force, and for the head end B also not to be displaceable correspondingly in the longitudinal direction of the hollow bar 2b. The foot end A and, at the same time, the head end B can be detached from the respective hollow bar 2a and 2b by pivoting out the lever 8d. In the detached state, the hollow bar 2b can be displaced in the longitudinal direction. When the lever 8d is pivoted back into a groove 5, the hollow bars 2a and 2b are again immediately firmly connected to one another. Detaching and connecting can thus be performed without a tool in a very simple manner and rapidly.
The frame can thus be installed without an auxiliary tool. If the frame is covered by plates 4, the levers 8d are fixed by these plates 4 in the pivotedin position, and the connections are thus secured.
o* a Besides the considerable advantages of the frame according to the present invention, the frame can be prepared, as is shown, with a very small number of components, which are simple and sturdy, so that a frame is a.
obtained according to the present invention which not only excellently meets the plumbing technical requirements, but is also inexpensive because of its simplicity of preparation and its robust design and is extremely reliable in operation.
While a specific embodiment of the invention has been shown and described in detail to illustrate the application of the principles of the invention, it will be understood that the invention may be embodied otherwise without departing from such principles.
