Abstract
Connecting element (1) for connecting two components of a partition wall, comprising two clamping flanges (2,3) interconnected by a connecting rod (4). Said element has an asymmetric configuration due to the fact that the clamping flanges (2,3) have different cross sections. At least parts of the contour of the first clamping flange (2) are unrounded while at least certain parts of the contour of the second clamping flange (3) are rounded.
Claims18
A connection element for connecting two components of a partition wall comprising:
- a connection stay having a flat profile, an upper edge surface, a lower edge surface, a first end and a second end,
- a first clamping flange disposed on said first end of said stay, and
- a second clamping flange disposed on said second end of said stay;
- wherein said connection element is of asymmetric design in that the profile of the first and second clamping flanges is different,
- wherein each of said first and second clamping flanges laterally protrude beyond said upper and lower edge surfaces of said stay,
- wherein at least the second clamping flange comprises a slot, and
- wherein the second clamping flange further comprises an expansion element.
4 more elements
A partition wall structure comprising:
- a column,
- a partition element, and
- a connection element for interconnecting said column and said partition element, said connection element further comprising:
- a connection stay having a flat profile, an upper edge surface, a lower edge surface, a first end and a second end,
- a first clamping flange disposed on said first end of said stay and adapted for connection to one of said column or said partition element, and
- a second clamping flange disposed on said second end of said stay and adapted for connection to the other of said column or said partition element;
- wherein said connection element is of asymmetric design in that the profile of the first and second clamping flanges is different,
- wherein each of said first and second clamping flanges laterally protrude beyond said upper and lower edge surfaces of said stay,
- wherein at least the second clamping flange comprises a slot, and
- wherein the second clamping flange further comprises an expansion element.
