Connecting element for Larssen-sheet piles

Abstract

The invention relates to a profiled connection section with a constant cross-section for coupling at least two Larssen sheet piles (Sx, Sy, Sz) at an angle of 90°, comprising two identically designed hooked strips (12, 14; 42, 44, 46; 62, 64, 66; 82, 84; 102; 104; 106). Each hooked strip (12, 14; 42, 44, 46; 62, 64, 66; 82, 84; 102; 104; 106) has a hook-shaped hook section (16), a lock base (18, 24; 50; 68, 70; 88; 110) which adjoins one end of the hook section (16) and runs in a straight manner, and a stop (20, 26, 48, 52; 72, 74; 86, 90; 108) which adjoins the lock base perpendicularly to the lock base (18, 24; 50; 68, 70; 88; 110). The free end of the hook section (16) together with the stop (20, 26; 48, 52; 72, 74; 86, 90; 108) forms a lock jaw (24, 28; 54; 92) for hanging the sheet pile lock of the Larssen sheet pile (Sx, Sy, Sz), and when viewed in a cross-sectional direction, each hooked strip (12, 14; 42, 44, 46; 62, 64, 66; 82, 84; 102; 104; 106) has an imaginary anchor point (A, B, C) on which the main contact point of the lock profile of the sheet pile (Sx, Sy, Sz) is arranged in an ideal assembly position. According to the invention, the anchor point (A, B, C) of each hooked strip (12, 14; 42, 44, 46; 62, 64, 66; 82, 84; 102; 104; 106) has a specified distance (Ay, Bxz, Cy) which is normal to the main direction (X; Y; Z) of the Larssen sheet pile (Sx, Sy, Sz) hung on the respective other hooked strip (12, 14; 42, 44, 46; 62, 64, 66; 82, 84; 102; 104; 106) in the ideal assembly position, wherein the distances between the anchor points (A, B, C) normal to the main directions (X, Y, C) of the Larssen sheet piles (Sx, Sy, Sz) hung on the hooked strips (12, 14; 42, 44, 46; 62, 64, 66; 82, 84; 102; 104; 106) in the ideal assembly position are identical.
