Mit der erfindungsgemäßen Ausgestaltung des Verbinders ist eine feste Verriegelung an jeder Stelle entlang der T-förmigen Nut erreichbar. Die Drehbewegung zur Verriegelung des Verbinders an dem Rahmen- oder Flügelprofil erfordert geringe Kraft und keine Werkzeuge. Ferner kann die Verbindung durch eine Drehbewegung des Verbinders oder des auf den Verbinder aufgeschobenen Kämpfers leicht wieder gelöst werden. Das erleichtert die richtige Positionierung im Zuge der Montage und vereinfacht die Montagearbeiten insgesamt. Durch die erfindungsgemäße Form der Laschen ist eine Drehung nur in einer vorgegebenen Drehrichtung und um einen auf 90 Grad begrenzten Winkel möglich. Montagefehler lassen sich dadurch vermeiden.Starting from a connector with the entry described features, the task according to the invention solved in that the positive locking elements as wing-shaped tabs are formed, the in Direction of rotation front edge is rounded in an arc and whose rear edge at right angles to the Long edge of the tabs connects, and that the distance between the tabs and the face of the body itself tapered in the direction of rotation, with a 90 degree turn of the body the legs of the T-groove between the tabs and the end face of the body can be clamped and thereby the body is fixed with a press fit. With the configuration of the connector according to the invention is a firm locking at any point along the T-shaped Only accessible. The rotary movement to lock the Connector on the frame or wing profile required low force and no tools. Furthermore, the Connection by rotating the connector or the the fighter pushed onto the connector again easily be solved. This makes correct positioning easier in the course of assembly and simplifies assembly work all in all. Due to the shape of the tabs according to the invention a rotation only in a given direction of rotation and around an angle limited to 90 degrees possible. Assembly error can be avoided.

Der Körper ist zweckmäßig im Querschnitt als Rechteckrohr ausgebildet. Er besteht zweckmäßig aus Stahlblech und kann als Formstanzteil ausgebildet werden. Die Laschen sind vorzugsweise aus der Stirnfläche des Körpers ausgestanzt. Die T-förmige Längsnut des Rahmen- oder Flügelprofils ist auch für andere Zwecke nutzbar, z.B. zur Befestigung von Gummilippen oder Dichtungsbändern, Mauerankern und dergleichen.The body is useful in cross section as a rectangular tube educated. It suitably consists of sheet steel and can be formed as a stamped part. The tabs are preferably punched out of the face of the body. The T-shaped longitudinal groove of the frame or sash profile is can also be used for other purposes, e.g. for fastening Rubber lips or sealing tapes, wall anchors and the like.
