Patent ID: 8398450

Claim:
A connector for assembly of a first construction element at a first surface thereof to a second construction element in a first direction, which is transverse to the fist surface, the connector having a strip-shaped member which is provided, at an effective distance from a rear edge thereof, with a thickened portion at least on an effective part of its total length, wherein a connecting member is joined to the rear edge of the strip-shaped member and includes a component of a connecting mechanism, wherein the strip-shaped member is insertable into a groove of the first construction element defined in the first surface and the second construction element is attachable to the connecting member by the connecting mechanism, wherein the connecting mechanism comprises elements that are essentially complementary to one another and are insertable into one another in the first direction, wherein the elements that are complementary to one another form a push-in connection, wherein the connecting member of the connecting mechanism includes a nut to enable a screw connection to the second construction element, wherein the second construction element is connectable to the connecting member by a screw receivable from a surface of the second construction element in a direction that is aligned with the first direction, indirectly connectable to the first construction element by the strip-shaped member, and wherein the strip-shaped member has a web-shaped section connected to the connecting member at one side thereof and the thickened portion at an opposing side thereof to space the connecting member and the thickened portion from one another, the web-shaped section following the thickened portion on the side of the rear edge in order to provide a lateral guidance during the insertion of the strip-shaped ember into a groove of a construction element, and wherein the screw is receivable in the nut to realize the screw connection.
