Abstract:
A butt joint formed of wooden construction components joined together with contact surfaces at a plane of contact, comprising:at least one first connection element which is designed symmetrically with respect to a center plate in about the form of a dovetail-shaped double wedge, said connection element engaging grooves in said construction components which are open toward said contact surfaces and correspond to the cross sections of the connection element extending on both sides of said center plane, said first connection element bridging the plane of contact between the construction components, and said grooves being open toward facing side edges of the construction components; and at least one long-stretching second connection element securing said butt joint, said second connection element being received between sections of the construction components and bridging the plane of contact between said construction components, and transversely penetrating the first connection element, wherein the second connection element extends across and is slanted in relation to the plane of contact between the construction components and transversely penetrates the first connection element and wherein the second connection element extends through the first connection element into the construction elements at an acute angle in relation to the plane of contact.
