  • Patent number: 7857550
    Abstract: The invention relates to a connection profile (10) with a constant cross-sectional shape for joining bulkheads to beam elements. The connection profile (10) comprises a center strip (12), on which a receiving profile (16) for connecting to the beam element (102) as well as a joining profile (14) for joining a lock element of the sheet pile are formed. The joining profile (14), when viewing its cross-section, comprises a straight transition section (18), which protrudes from the center strip (12) at least approximately at a right angle and which transitions into a semicircular hook section (20) pointing in the direction of the flat side. An end section (22) follows the hook section so that the transition section (18), the hook section (20) and the end section (22), together with the flat side of the center strip (12), form a receiving channel (24), which is open toward one side, for receiving the lock element of the sheet pile.

  • Patent number: 7527456
    Abstract: A rod-type connecting profiled element (10) for connecting sheet piles to carrier elements comprises a central strip (12) that separates two opposing connecting profiled elements (16, 18), each of which respectively forms a saw (24, 42). One connecting profiled element is embodied as a plug-in profiled element (16) for the carrier element and the other connecting profiled element is embodied as a receiving profiled element (18) for connecting a sheet pile. The central strip (12) comprises, on the side of the receiving profiled element (18), a central section (14) having a straight plane inner wall (30) to which a first short end section (32) is connected on one side, said short end section protruding past the central section (14) at an angle of approximately 90°, and being connected thereto by means of a transition section (36) having an inner wall with a cross-section that follows a quadrant.

  • Patent number: 7413386
    Abstract: A continuous connecting profile (10) for attachment of sheet piles to supporting elements has a central rib bar (16) that separates from each other two oppositely-placed attachment profiles, each having a jaw, and is a part of both attachment profiles. One of the attachment profiles is configured as a mounting profile for the supporting element, and the other attachment profile is configured as a receiving profile for a lock of an attaching sheet pile.

  • Patent number: 7390145
    Abstract: The connection element according to the present invention includes a central strip and two hook strips issuing from it that together form a claw strip with C-shaped cross section. The ends of the hook strips point toward each other, and with their ends, define an open jaw. Additionally, the extended central lines of the ends of the hook strips intersect outside the open jaw. Extending from the claw strip is at least one connection strip that possesses a straight neck strip and a head strip that is oval in cross section. The major axis of the oval head strip is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the neck strip.

  • Patent number: 7387471
    Abstract: A combination pile wall is formed of beam elements (12), particularly T-beams and double-T-beams (I-beams), and shaped connection strips (16) directly or indirectly connecting the beam elements (12), whereby each shaped connection strip (16) that is coupled directly with one of the beam elements (12) is engaged with one of the locking elements (30) formed on the respective beam element (12). The two mutually-engaged locking elements (24, 26) of the shaped connection strip (16) and of the beam element (12) are configured with a cross section such that the two locking elements (24, 26) may pivot with respect to each other through an angular range of a minimum ±3° to a maximum ±10°.

  • Patent number: 7168214
    Abstract: The joining device serves for connecting two adjacent individual elements (5, 11) of a sheet pile retaining wall which are to be pile-driven in each case, e.g. for connecting two adjacent pipes of a sheet piling. The first joining element comprises a button strip (9) which is received in a hollow space (15) between two hook strips (14) of a second joining element (2). In order to be able to better absorb tensile forces occurring during driving, the first joining element (2) comprises holding portions, e.g. holding strips (16) which at least partly encompass the hook strips (14) of the second joining element (3) and thus prevent a widening of the hook strips during driving.

  • Publication number: 20060283139
    Abstract: A double-T-beam for the construction of a combination sheet pile wall from numerous elements that can be driven into the ground, such as beams, sheet piles, etc., whereby the double-T-beam exhibits in its cross-section two T-bars, and one connecting web that connects said T-bars and forms the T-down-stroke. The free longitudinal edges of the double-T-beam, which are located on one side of the connecting web in one plane parallel to the connecting web, are designed as analogous connecting elements of the type round claw or round knob for directly connecting additional sheet pile wall elements with corresponding connecting elements.
