Connecting element for mechanically connecting components

Abstract

The invention relates to a connecting element for efficiently connecting components and subassemblies with the most diverse configurations to wall, ceiling and floor surfaces of buildings or frames. The connecting element has two coupling halves ( 1 a , 1 b) that can be interconnected by jointing and can be fixed to components or subassemblies to be connected by fixing means. The coupling halves and the fixing means are proportioned to guarantee that the connected components or subassemblies maintain a predetermined mechanically stable state during the exertion of operational forces. According to the invention, coupling halves of conduits ( 2 a , 2 b, 10, 22, 32, 33, 34, 35 ) are arranged inside the coupling halves for connecting liquid conduits, gas conduits, electrical conduits or signal conduits, whereby during operation, the conduit coupling halves are connected to the end sections of the conduits to be connected and the coupling halves ( 1 a , 1 b) have passages, through which the conduits are directed towards the exterior. The coupling halves are configured in the connected operational state as a housing for the conduit coupling halves ( 2 a , 2 b , 10, 22, 32, 33, 34, 35 ), said housing being designed in such a way that the conduit coupling halves ( 2 a , 2 b , 10, 22, 32, 33, 34, 35 ) and the end sections of the conduits to be connected are protected from operational or environmental damage.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to connectors for efficiently connecting building elements and in particular building elements such as wall elements, ceiling elements and floor elements as used in finished building structures. Finished housing structures can be understood as buildings that should be used for a long time as well as buildings that are only used for a short time, such as emergency housing after an earthquake, military barracks, buildings for trade markets, etc. Background technique [0002] For joining wall, ceiling and floor members, various joining structures have been known from finished building constructions. Therefore, the wall pieces are often joined together, and then the joint assembly is screwed. So-called gussets, which are screwed into place to be joined, are increasingly used in finished building construction. Such gussets are sufficiently disclosed in the prior art, so see, for example, only US Pat. No. 5,284,311. [0003] ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

In addition, it is almost impossible to realize automatic assembly on site, so it is difficult to reduce the cost on site

Another problem is the construction time, which can only be shortened to a limited extent as workers laboriously install the wall pieces

[0004] Therefore, there is the problem that in the finished building structure the manufacture of building elements can be realized with a high degree of automation and also of high processing quality, whereas when the finished parts are assembled on site, only limited imposition can be imposed on the speed of installation and the quality of operation.
