Abstract

A linear connector for joining hollow spacing profiles and hollow bar profiles of a multiple insulating glass. The connector includes a flat, longitudinal body which is to be inserted at one end into a first spacing profile and with its other end into a second spacing profile. The surfaces of the connector are provided with an abutment element positioned at its center. The abutment element touches the front faces of the spacing profiles on insertion of the linear connector into the spacing profiles which are to be connected to one another. The longitudinal body includes a double-T-cross-section having distantly parallel and horizontal cross-bars which are connected by at least one vertical center bar and contacted at least partly in the mounted condition of the linear connector by the opposing surfaces of the inner wall of the spacing profiles. At least one of the two cross-bars of the double-T-cross-section is provided in the center of its length with a recess so that welding of spacing profiles by heat treatment is possible without melting the plastic material of the linear connector.
