Abstract
A connector for two components comprises two fittings each with a mounting side, an abutment side opposite the mounting side, and an end face connecting the mounting and abutment sides. At the end faces the fittings may be hooked into one another. The fittings are made of wood or of wood-plastic composite and have one or more generally cylindrical blind holes on their abutment side. The connector comprises, for each blind hole, a molding for removable insertion into the blind hole. The molding has a base surface, a top surface parallel thereto, a substantially generally cylindrical lateral surface connecting these two, and a slanted bore for a mounting screw. The bore penetrates the molding at an acute angle to the base and top surfaces.
Claims18
A connector for two components, comprising
- two fittings, each of which has a mounting side for mounting on one of the components and an abutment side opposite the mounting side for contact against the other of the components,
- wherein the two fittings may be hooked into one another at an end face connecting the mounting and abutment sides, for which purpose the end face has, over its entire length running along the abutment side, a shoulder which is flush with the abutment side and the width of which shoulder in the orthogonal direction to the abutment side corresponds substantially to half the width of the end face,
- wherein the fittings are made of wood or of wood-plastic composite,
- wherein each fitting has one or more generally cylindrical blind holes on its abutment side,
- wherein the connector comprises, for each blind hole, a molding for removable insertion into the blind hole,
- said molding having a base surface, a top surface parallel thereto, a substantially generally cylindrical lateral surface connecting the base and top surfaces, and a slanted bore for a mounting screw,
- wherein said slanted bore penetrates the molding at an acute angle to the base and top surfaces.
