  • Patent number: 10968621
    Abstract: The present disclosed subject matter relates to a connector for two workpieces, which are in particular made of wood. The connector comprises a first and a second fitting which may be mounted on one of the workpieces each by their one side and may be anchored to one another by their other sides, and which each have a circumferential edge between their one and other side. At least the first fitting has a projection with an undercut on its other side and the second fitting has a slot, starting from its edge and corresponding to the undercut, for anchoring the projection. At least one of the fittings has a protrusion on its other side and running transverse to the direction of the slot for resting of the edge of the other fitting when the projection is in the position anchored in the slot.

  • Patent number: 10822788
    Abstract: The present subject matter relates to a device for coupling two vertical components, comprising a girder made of wood, in particular glued laminated timber, and a connector for each end face of the girder for connecting the end faces to one of the vertical components each. Each connector has two fittings, one of which is mounted via one side on the respective end face of the girder and the other of which can be mounted via one side on the associated vertical component and which fittings can be brought via their other sides into abutment against one another. Further, each connector has two tensioning jaws, which grasp the fittings at diametrical ends and can be tensioned against one another by means of at least one tensioning element running approximately parallel to said other sides. The girder has a bottom chord made of steel, which bottom chord is anchored at each end face of the girder to the fitting mounted thereon. At least one tensioning member is provided for tensioning the bottom chord.
