Split connector adapted to be used for interconnecting profile bars in a frame structure, where the split connector is cube shaped and comprises a first connecting element and a second connecting element, where the first connecting element comprises screw holes adapted for connecting the first connecting element to a split profile section, a profile bar, and to the second connecting element, where the second connecting element comprises screw holes adapted for connecting the second connecting element to a split profile section and a profile bar, and a first threaded hole adapted for receiving a screw when connecting the first connecting element to the second connecting element. The advantage of the invention is that a modular machine frame is obtained, in which a frame section can easily be removed.
A split connector adapted to be used for interconnecting longitudinal profile bars in a frame structure, where the split connector comprises:
A modular frame, comprising a plurality of split connectors and a plurality of longitudinal split profile bars, where a split profile bar comprises two identical split profile sections, where the cross section of a split profile bar is square when the split profile sections are mounted to each other, where a split profile section comprises two open longitudinal profile slots and two longitudinal closed channels, where the closed channels receives screws mounting a split connector to a split profile bar, where a split connector comprises a first connecting element and a second connecting element, where the split connector is cube-shaped when the first connecting element and the second connecting element are mounted to each other, where the first connecting element is connected to a split profile bar section in a first direction with a screw through a first screw hole of the first connecting element, where the first connecting element is connected to a split profile bar section in a second direction with a screw through a second screw hole of the first connecting element, where the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction, where the first connecting element is connected to the second connecting element with a screw through a third screw hole of the first connecting element to a first threaded hole in the second connecting element, where the second connecting element is connected to a split profile section in the first direction with a screw through a fourth screw hole of the second connecting element, and where the second connecting element is connected to a split profile bar with a screw through a fifth screw hole of the second connecting element.
