Abstract:
A corner connector for hollow-profile spacers of insulating glazing units is presented. The corner connector includes first and second legs, connected via a corner region, that include respective leg inner sides, leg outer sides, end faces, and a plurality of side faces. According to one aspect, the leg inner sides, the leg outer sides, and/or the side faces include at least one retaining element; the leg inner sides provide respective inner bearing faces having: inner regions adjacent the corner region, and outer regions adjacent the inner regions and the end faces. The inner bearing face of at least one of the leg inner sides has, in its inner region, a positive gradient starting from the corner region in the direction of its end face.

Claim (Index 24):
A method for producing a corner connector, the method comprising:\n a) preparing a plastic raw material; b) plasticizing the plastic raw material in a plastic injection molding machine, thereby obtaining plasticized material; c) injecting, under pressure, the plasticized material, into an injection mold; d) leaving the plasticized material to cure in the injection mold; and e) removing the corner connector from the injection mold,\n wherein the corner connector comprises a first leg and a second leg that are connected via a corner region, the first leg and second leg comprising respective leg inner sides, leg outer sides, end faces and a plurality of side faces, \n wherein:\n one or more of the leg inner sides, the leg outer sides, and the plurality of side faces, comprises at least one retaining element, \n the leg inner sides provide respective inner bearing faces, \n the inner bearing faces have respective inner regions adjacent the corner region, \n the inner bearing faces have respective outer regions adjacent the respective inner regions and respective end faces, \n the inner bearing face of at least one of the leg inner sides has, in the respective inner region, a positive gradient starting from the corner region in a direction of the respective end face, \n the leg inner sides have retaining elements that form the respective inner bearing faces, and \n the retaining elements on the leg inner sides comprise fins, whose length decrease from the respective end faces in a direction of the corner region.
