PREVIOUS TECHNIQUE

Profile systems are used in many buildings, mainly in industrial areas. The use of profiles is common in scaffolding, building elements, construction, agricultural, automotive, and furniture industries. The construction system is formed by assembling the profiles of the elements to be connected such as pipes. The construction system is the name of the structure formed by assembling more than one modular part. Profile construction systems can be made from materials such as iron, steel, and plastic according to their functionality. In addition, profile construction systems can be produced in different geometries such as oval, round, and square depending on the area to be used. Two types of applications are generally used in today's construction systems. These are external fastening and iron sheet plug inside the profile.

In the external fastening system currently used, modular structures are assembled to each other by being screwed from outside. This disrupts the aesthetics structure of the external appearance of the pipe. It also decreases the strength.

In the system, where an iron sheet plug is used inside the profile, the plug comes into contact with the structure only at two points. Insufficiently providing the necessary surface area to fix the plug inside the profile causes wobbling and stretches.

The load-bearing capacity of profile dowel systems inside the profile is limited. This causes deformation in junction points over time.

Plugs made of sheet metal are used in the current technique. When the sheet metal plugs are tightened with bolts, and the diameter of the plug is enlarged, they are permanently deformed. Permanently deformed metal sheet plugs cannot be used again. This leads to continuous maintenance and repair.

As the metal sheet plugs used in the current technique are permanently deformed due to their structure, it is difficult to remove them from inside of the profile. This leads to technical problems in structures where assembly and disassembly are frequent.

Since it is not possible to remove the metal sheet plugs used in the current technique most of the time, the cost of production and labor increases and the product is damaged because of the jointing element.

In the current technique, separate bedding is needed for the bolt to assemble the parts and change the diameter. Having a separate bedding surface for the bolt results in additional cost. The modular parts used in the current technique are manufactured in standard measurements. And this leads to breakages and deformations when the part is tightened during the assembly. As the deformations in the parts cannot be corrected, the products cannot be used again.

The modular parts used in the current technique are not completely placed on top of each other during the assembly. As the parts are not completely placed on top of each other, the system becomes non-resistant.

As a result of the research made in the current technique concerning the invention, a utility model document numbered 2018/06546 was found. This document is about the pipe support system used to fasten up the pipe and prevent the movement of horizontal or vertical pipes inside the building or on the roof. This system is used to adjust the position of the profile and connecting parts in horizontal and vertical directions in pipe support systems. The connection of the parts constituting the pipe support system is provided with horizontal and vertical profiles in the utility model. In this system, interconnected plates are used.

As a result, due to the requirement of an economic, practical, material saving, and aesthetic profile construction joint system, making development in the related technical field to solve the aforementioned problems of the current technique has become compulsory.

PURPOSE OF THE INVENTION

The invention in question is related to a profile construction joint system used in structures where products like stands, shelves, and showcases are displayed, the furniture sector, that is in the first place. The system has an aesthetic appearance, its parts can be assembled quickly and with strength and its surface area and bearing capacity can be increased.

The purpose of the invention is making the elements used in profile construction joint systems have angled surfaces and, thus, providing compression with the movement of elements on top of each other during the assembly. The compression process ensures that the system has a robust structure. Another purpose of the invention is producing the lower and upper surfaces of the elements used in the profile construction joint systems in different radius compared to the center. Thus both the elements can lead in the pipe profiles, and the inner diameter of the pipe is formed by positioning the elements across each other.

Another purpose of the invention is the formation of a cut on the elements used in the profile construction joint system. This cut prevents potential breakages of the tips during compression and, consequently, resistance becomes higher during compression and outward expansion.

Another purpose of the invention is the prevention of structural deformation during compression as the angled elements used in the profile construction joint system are in the same shape with the inner diameter of the profile.

Another purpose of the invention is non-deformation of the elements used in the profile construction joint system and facilitation of assembly and disassembly.

Another purpose of the invention is applying less force during compression. As the compression force applied to angled elements which are assembled to change the diameter is low, assembly is easy.

Another purpose of the invention is to manufacture the referencing area on the compressing element wider or narrower than the inner diameter of the profile. Thus both the angled elements and the profile are being referenced at this point.

Another purpose of the invention is not needing bedding on the bolt used to assemble the parts. This results in material saving and cost reduction.

Another purpose of the invention is ensuring the system to be used for larger profile joints by increasing the number of angled elements and lengthening the jointing element. Thus the surface area to be used can be widened. Another purpose of the invention is forming a structure with angled parts, that glides on the surface. Thus, external screwing isn't performed during the assembly, and the aesthetic structure of the profile construction is preserved.

The said invention will become a preferred product in the industry due to its current and plain structure. Thus, commercial success will be achieved.

The structural and characteristic properties and all advantages of the invention will be understood more clearly with the below figures and detailed descriptions written with reference to these figures. For this reason, evaluation should be carried out in consideration of these figures and the detailed descriptions.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The invented profile construction joint system (100) and the parts of the profile construction joint system (100) are shown in Figure-1. The profile construction joint system (100) is composed of the node element member (110), head-end element (120), middle element(130), jointing element (140), and joined profile (150). In this invention, primarily the numbers of the head-end element (120) and middle element (130), and the length of the jointing element (140) to be used in the profile construction joint system are determined in accordance with the dimensions of the profile to be joined.

Figure-2 explains the node element (110), head-end element (120), middle element (130), jointing element (140) to be used in the profile construction joint system one-by-one.

The node element (110) included in the profile construction joint system (100) is used to tighten and fasten the head-end element (120), the middle element (130), and the jointing element (140). The node element (110) can be manufactured in geometric shapes such as a sphere, circle, square, etc. depending on the section of the profile.

The head-end element (120) shown in Figure-6 is manufactured with angle and used both at the head and the end. The angle can be either rightward or leftward, depending on the surface. The head-end element (120) is angled to enable gliding during the assembly. Angled surfaces glide during the assembly and make the head-end elements (120) to move outward concentrically.

The node and profile referencing area (121), the head-end element's cut area (122), and the head-end element's low surface (123) are placed on the head-end element (120). The node and pipe referencing area (121) is shown in Figure 7. The node and profile referencing area (121) is manufactured according to the inner diameter of the profile. Thus, the inner diameter of the profile is reached, and the head-end element (120) adsorbs the surface of the profile on a wider area. At the same time, the profile is referenced by sitting in the node and profile referencing area (121). The head-end element's cut area (122) prevents both the breakages at the tips during compression and movement limitation of the parts broken in the system. The head-end element's low surface (123) is formed on the head-end element (120). One surface of the head-end element (120) is formed according to the inner diameter of the profile, and the other head-end element low surface (123) is made smaller than the inner diameter of the profile. The head-end element's low surface (123) enables the head- end element (120) to penetrate the profile. Details are shown in Figure-6. The middle element (130) shown in Figure-8 is manufactured with angles on both sides and used to connect the head-end elements (120) by positioning between the head-end elements (120). The middle element (130) is angled bilaterally to move concentrically and synchronously with the head-end element (120). As the middle element (130) has two angled surfaces, it can apply equal forces on the head-end elements (120) inside the profile.

The cut area (131) and the low surface (132) of the middle element are on the middle element (130). The middle element's cut area (131) prevents both the breakages at the tips during compression and movement limitation of the parts broken in the system. The middle element's low surface (132) formed on the middle element (130) shown in Figure-8 glides during the assembly and crosswise overlaps the head-end element's low surface (123). Thus, the angled surfaces completely overlap, and the system gains strength. The middle element's low surface (132) allows the middle element (130) to penetrate the profile.

The length of the jointing element (140) varies in accordance with the numbers of head-end elements (120) and the middle element (130). Related drawing is presented in Figure-5. The jointing element (140) is used by passing through the head-end element (120) and the middle element (130). The jointing element (140) is also referenced by positioning on the node and profile referencing area (121).

The disassembled profile construction joint system (100) is shown in Figure-3. For the operation of the invention, the head-end elements (120) and the middle element (130) are arranged in accordance with their angles in the profile construction joint system (100). The jointing element (140) passes through the middle of the aligned head-end element (120) and the middle element (130). While the jointing element (140) passes through the head-end element (120) and the middle element (130), the head-end element (120) and middle element (130) are aligned in the manner to glide. The head-end element (120) and the middle element (130) completely overlap during the jointing and a strong structure is formed. The jointing element (140), the jointed head-end element (120), and the middle element (130) are fastened to the node element (110). The assembled structure is shown in Figure-4. Finally, the structure fastened to the node element (110) in the profile construction joint system (100) is compressed and positioned on the joined profile (150) of the profile construction joint system (100). At this stage, the axial center lines of the head-end elements (120) and the middle element (130) are aligned with the axial center lines of the node element (110) and the joined profile (150) in the profile construction joint system after the compression process.

In summary, the invention is related to a profile construction joint system (100) by which the parts used in products like stands, shelves, and showcases, furniture sector being in the first place are assembled quickly and with strength and aesthetics and its surface area and bearing capacity can be increased. The invention is particularly characterized with the head- end element (120) angled on one side and positioned on the jointing element (140) inside the profile, which outwardly moves concentrically inside the profile during compression and used for assembly, the head-end elements (120) that are angled on both sides and positioned on the jointing element (140) inside the profile, which outwardly move concentrically inside the profile during compression and apply equal force inside the profile, the middle element (130) used for assembly between the head-end elements (120), and the node element (110) with fixed holes on it, which is used for compression so that the profiles are connected from different directions and manufactured in various geometric shapes. The invention also includes a node and referencing area (121) formed on the head-end element (120) and manufactured in accordance with the inner diameter of the profile. This area (121) ensures the head-end element (120) to adsorb on a wider area when positioning on the surface of the profile and node element (110) and referencing of the head-end element (120), the head-end element's cut area (122) formed on the head-end element (120) to prevent breakages at the tips during compression and movement limitation of the broken parts inside the system, the head-end element's low surface (123) formed on the head-end element (120) which is smaller than the inner diameter of the profile which allows the head- end element (120) to penetrate the profile and ensures the head-end element (120) and the middle element (130) to complete each other, the middle element's cut area (131) formed on the middle element (130) to prevent breakages at the tips during compression and movement limitation of the broken parts in the system, the middle element's low surface (132) formed on the middle element (130) crosswise with the head-end element's low surface (123) diameter of which is smaller than the inner diameter of the profile which is used to enable the middle element (130) to penetrate the profile and enable the head-end element (120) and the middle element (130) to complete each other. The profile construction joint system (100) also provides a synchronous gliding movement of the angled surfaces of the head-end element (120) and the middle element (130) on top of each other. The profile construction joint system (100) also allows the axial center lines of the head-end elements (120) and the middle element (130) to be aligned with the axial center lines of the node element (110) and the joined profile (150) after the compression process.
