Abstract
A metal corner connector contains at least two connection regions which are arranged on a lateral surface of the metal corner connector. At least one connection region is configured to be mechanically stably connected via welding to a metal pipe extending along a main extension plane of the metal corner connector. The connection region contains at least one protrusion with a groove, which is configured for receiving a welding material. The connection region has an outer surface which is adjacent to the protrusion and is configured as a contact surface for an end face of the metal pipe. A method produces a device having such a metal corner connector.
Claims18
A metal corner connector, comprising:
- a body having a main plane of extent and a lateral surface, said body having a first main surface and a second main surface each being parallel to said main plane of extent;
- and
- at least two connection regions disposed on said lateral surface of said body, at least one of said connection regions configured to be connected in a mechanically stable manner, by welding, to a metal tube extending along said main plane of extent of the metal corner connector, said at least one connection region having projections, each of said projections having a respective groove formed therein extending along a side surface thereof and being configured to receive welding material, said at least one connection region having an outer surface being adjacent to one of said projections and configured as a contact surface for an end face of the metal tube, and said projections are each constructed as a cantilever with a base end affixed at said contact surface and a free end opposite said base end.
A metal corner connector, comprising:
- a body having a lateral surface;
- and
- at least two connection regions disposed on said lateral surface of said body, at least one of said connection regions configured to be connected in a mechanically stable manner, by welding, to a metal tube extending along a main plane of extent of the metal corner connector, said at least one connection region having at least one projection having a projection surface for abutting an inside wall surface of the metal tube, said projection surface having a groove formed therein, said groove being configured to receive welding material, and said at least one connection region having an outer surface being adjacent said groove and configured as a contact surface for an end face of the metal tube, said at least one projection being constructed as a cantilever with a base end affixed at said contact surface and a free end opposite said base end.
