Device for joining two structural members

Abstract

Abstract The multiple connector acts as an assembly unit which is fixed by axial bolt to the carried profile to home into the groove (5) of the supporting leg (4). The unit includes a connecting plate which can be moved to shut the bolt and which tips over or rotates round the bolt and which locates behind the undercut edge of the groove in the locking position. Thus plate and bolt work together in this locking position so as to press the carried profile onto the supporting leg and thus press the profile endface against the vertical bearing leg (3) of the supporting profile (1). A vee piece on the bearing leg (2) forms the longitudinal edges of the groove (5) and a cylindrical shaft of the bolt engages a slot in the lever plate acting as connector. A pin parallel to profile (1) at the bottom end of the shaft bears on the lever plate which in turn is angled on the side facing the vee piece so as to engage the sloping face (6.1) of the vee piece. Thus in or prior to the locking position, one slot endface bears on the shaft so as to apply tension to the lever plate end furthest from the angled plate part.
