A U-shaped linear connector having a configuration that conforms to a
hollow profile of a spacing profile for insulated glass may include
lateral legs with outwardly extending springs. The hollow profile may
include a roof surface extending parallel to a bottom surface and lateral
walls. The lateral walls may include inverted flanks between the roof
surface and lateral walls. The springs may be inclined outwardly and end
at the flank and abut the lateral walls and a roof surface of the hollow
profile. Therefore, the springs may operate to receive and assist in
dispersing a deforming pressure transmitted from the roof surface of the
hollow profile to the lateral legs of the linear connector so that a
deformation of the lateral walls is avoided as is the collapse inwardly
of the laterals walls under pressure.
