Angled connector

Abstract

An angled connector having at least two legs ( 1, 2 ) arranged at an angle in reference to each other deviating from 0° and 180° for mounting a first part ( 3 ) to a second part ( 4 ). The connector has at least at one leg ( 1 ) and at least one intermediate layer ( 5 ) is provided made from a sound-dampening or vibration insulating material.

1 . An angled connector comprising at least two legs ( 1 ,  2 ), arranged at an angle in reference to each other deviating from 0° and 180°, for mounting a first part ( 3 ) to a second part ( 4 ), at least one intermediate layer ( 5 ) being arranged at least on one of the legs ( 1 ), said at least one intermediate layer ( 5 ) comprising a sound-absorbing or vibration-insulating material. 
   
   
       2 . An angled connector according to  claim 1 , wherein the sound-absorbing or vibration-insulating material comprises an elastic material. 
   
   
       3 . An angled connector according to  claim 1 , wherein the legs ( 1 ,  2 ) are arranged essentially orthogonally in reference to each other. 
   
   
       4 . An angled connector according to  claim 1 , wherein the intermediate layer ( 5 ) is designed and arranged at the leg ( 1 ) so that when the leg ( 1 ) is mounted to the part ( 4 ), the leg ( 1 ) is exclusively in a physical contact with the part ( 4 ) through interposition of the intermediate layer ( 5 ) or through interposition of the intermediate layer ( 5 ) and fastening elements ( 6 ). 
   
   
       5 . An angled connector according to  claim 1 , wherein at least in one of the legs ( 1 ,  2 ), mounting holes ( 7 ) are provided for guiding fastening elements ( 6 ) therethrough. 
   
   
       6 . An angled connector according to  claim 1 , wherein the intermediate layer ( 5 ) is arranged on an entire side of the leg ( 1 ) facing the part ( 4 ) in an assembled position. 
   
   
       7 . An angled connector according to  claim 1 , wherein the intermediate layer ( 5 ) is fastened to the leg ( 1 ) in an undetachable manner. 
   
   
       8 . An angled connector according to  claim 1 , wherein the intermediate layer ( 5 ) is adhered to the leg ( 1 ). 
   
   
       9 . An angled connector according to  claim 1 , wherein an additional intermediate layer ( 9 ) comprising a sound-absorbing or vibration insulating material is arranged on a side of the leg ( 1 ) opposite the intermediate layer ( 5 ) so that fastening elements ( 6 ) to mount the leg ( 1 ) to the part ( 4 ) essentially contact the leg ( 1 ) exclusively via the additional intermediate layer ( 9 ) and the intermediate layer ( 5 ). 
   
   
       10 . An angled connector according to  claim 9 , wherein one or more support plates ( 10 ) are arranged on a side of the additional intermediate layer ( 9 ) opposite the leg ( 1 ), by which heads ( 11 ) of the fastening elements ( 6 ) can be supported. 
   
   
       11 . An angled connector according to  claim 9 , wherein mounting holes ( 7 ) are provided at least in one of the legs ( 1 ,  2 ) through which the fastening elements ( 6 ) can pass, and the additional intermediate layer ( 9 ) is arranged at least in proximity to the mounting holes ( 7 ). 
   
   
       12 . An angled connector according to  claim 9 , wherein the additional intermediate layer ( 9 ) is arranged on the entire side of the leg ( 1 ) opposite the side of the leg ( 1 ) facing the part ( 4 ) in the assembled state. 
   
   
       13 . An angled connector according to  claim 9 , wherein the sound-absorbing or vibration-insulating material comprises an elastic material. 
   
   
       14 . An angled connector according to  claim 1 , wherein the intermediate layer ( 5 ) comprises a static elasticity module ranging from 0.025 N/mm 2  to 5 N/mm 2 . 
   
   
       15 . An angled connector according to  claim 1 , wherein the intermediate layer ( 5 ) comprises an elastomer. 
   
   
       16 . An angled connector according to  claim 1 , wherein the intermediate layer ( 5 ) comprises a polyurethane-elastomer, a foamed polyurethane-elastomer, a rubber-elastomer, or a thermoplastic elastomer. 
   
   
       17 . An angled connector according to  claim 9 , wherein the additional intermediate layer ( 9 ) comprises a static elasticity module ranging from 0.025 N/mm 2  to 5 N/mm 2 . 
   
   
       18 . An angled connector according to  claim 9 , wherein the additional intermediate layer ( 9 ) comprises an elastomer. 
   
   
       19 . An angled connector according to  claim 9 , wherein the additional intermediate layer ( 9 ) comprises a polyurethane-elastomer, a foamed polyurethane-elastomer, a rubber-elastomer, or a thermoplastic elastomer.
