Description

PROFILE CONNECTION

The invention relates to a profile connection between an elongated member having a first web profile and a second elongated members having a second web profile. Likewise, the invention relates to a component which has a web profile on at least one side of the longitudinal direction.

STATE OF THE ART

Surfaces are often assembled in construction from elongated components that form an abutting edge on the elongated narrow walls, via which they are connected to each other. This is particularly common in the field of flooring, in which case depending on the material, the size of the individual components and the combination of boards, (floor) planks, planks, floor elements, cover system, panels, strips, etc. is spoken.

In the interior, a continuous substrate is often present as a support surface, which allows other techniques than in cases where only a spatially limited substructure is present. Non-continuous substructures often form a support surface for balconies, terraces, or walkways, if they are installed later to a main building. Individual supporting beams that run perpendicular to the longitudinal orientation of the components are typical substructures. The load-bearing surface, ie the terrace or balcony floor, is then formed by the structure. In the prior art compounds of individual elongated components are known, which are suitable for the formation of such a structure.

Essentially resulting from the disclosed in the prior art compounds for outdoor use, the following aspects with which differ such constructions of compounds used indoors.

First, in order to prevent displacement relative to the substructure, the individual components of the outer ground must be secured to the substructure. The floor should not be laid floating.

Second, the connection of the individual components must be designed so that the most frictional bond possible, since the components are load-bearing for areas between the substructure, ie where the components do not rest directly on the substructure.

Third, it is disadvantageous when fasteners such as screws, nails or rivets, with which the individual components are attached to the substructure, can be seen on the top of the cover. This entails on the one hand by protruding edges risk of injury and further allows water to penetrate through the corresponding hole.

This leads to the fourth aspect: it may be detrimental to the stability of the substructure or even disturbing, if such a cover should also act as a "roof" for underlying areas. Such a protective function is often desirable, for example, with overlying biconicals. The requirement for the floor construction is therefore that no water passes. Various components are known in which these requirements have been (partially) solved.

Components are known in which the connection is designed so that the fastening material is arranged in a cavity of the compound. They are also used in the area of facade cladding. DE 70 42 144 U discloses e.g. extruded plastic strips known whose connection is designed so that a mounting material from the outside is not visible. In addition, a hook-shaped profile is provided at the abutting edge that allows at least in parts a positive connection of the individual strips.

EP 0 381 339 A2 describes building panels with a connection in which the fastening material is attached to a lower edge of a component and the head of the fastening material is covered by an upper edge of the adjacent component. The connection between the components is achieved by positive fit of the web profiles.

From DE 696 35 034 T2 a connection of plastic components for outdoor use is known. In addition to a covered by the connected planks cavity for the arrangement of a fastener, auoh a coarse textured surface with elevations and sawtooth cuts is known to provide a non-slip surface.

JP 2011-58321 discloses a device that prevents water from running through the opening created by the fastener. In this case, a connection is described in which a cavity, in which the fastening means is fixed to the substructure, is supported by a projecting overdenting of the component to be attached next to it. Accumulating water is directed by means of this Überdaohung in a raumlioh separate Bereioh, where the water can flow along the Längsriohtung. The connection of the components themselves is only loose, that is, the stability of a solo edition must be fully supported on the fixation and the substructure.

US 5,816,010 describes a waterproof connection, in which a cover of the mounting material is provided by a roof with the neighboring element. The connection between the individual elements takes place in a form-fitting manner. The assembly provides for hanging the Naohbarelements at a pivot point and the pivoting of the neighboring element.

Likewise, DE 20 2013 100 629 U1 describes a web profile in which an arrangement position for fastening means results in a cavity of the connection. By an upper-side projection of the profile of this cavity is covered. Furthermore, DE 20 2013 100 629 Ul provides that the connection to the next element, also referred to as the abutting edge, is spatially separated. This document also describes an arrangement position for the fastening material as material weakening. At the abutting edge, a space necessary for the assembly arises, which can be bridged by a sealing profile. This serves to seal against water ingress at the edge and is visible from above.

A sealing element is also known from a floor covering from the interior. DE 103 26 030 AI provides for the connection of two planks a sealing cord. The introduction of the sealing cord poses a practical challenge during assembly, as it can easily roll away and leave its position. The disclosed in DE 103 26 030 AI compound is also due to the lack of positive and non-positive unsuitable for use as a load-bearing construction, which is necessary for the construction of terrace or balcony structures.

The special requirements for the outdoor area have already been listed above. Other aspects in the execution of a connection for elongated components and just such components in the outdoor area are to be observed. With respect to the area of the terrace or balcony floors, the state of the art reveals that plastic or aluminum find appropriate use. Often reinforced with webs hollow structures are used. In addition to the formation of a substantially flat, closed surface, a safety aspect also plays a role, so that it should be as non-slip and quick-drying as possible. Furthermore, the resistance of the material and the construction to weather-related influences, such as water ingress, temperature fluctuations, and UV light due to solar radiation is an issue.

DESCRIPTION OF THE CONNECTION

Although in the prior art, some of the aspects to be considered are covered, the object remains to provide a simple to install, against the passage of water insensitive compound that shows resistance to weather and UV light.

This object is achieved by a profile connection between an elongated member having a first web profile and a second elongated elements having a second web profile, which is characterized in that the first web profile a groove, and at the top a projecting projection, and at the bottom has a protruding extension and the second web profile has a protruding spring, and at the top a fold, and at the bottom of a recessed indentation and the groove of the first web profile projects into the spring of the second web profile, wherein the groove is larger than the spring is formed, so that there is a first space and a sealing element, with a substantially U-shaped profile over the entire length of the elements fills the space.

In addition to providing a compound that is suitable for the construction of a terrace or balcony floor, this compound has other advantages.

Thus, the web profiles for the compound according to the invention are relatively simple compared to the prior art. For the description of the form characteristics an auxiliary plane is used, which would describe a lateral contact surface between profileless, elongated elements, which are arranged side by side. Viewed from the front side, the auxiliary plane is an auxiliary line, since the extension along the longitudinal direction coincides with the viewing angle. Now Profilausprägungen that protrude from the respective side wall of a web profile through this auxiliary level, referred to above. In contrast, profile characteristics in which the profile does not extend to the auxiliary level, referred to as recessed. In the first web profile is a groove, which thus represents a depression, centrally located. The first web profile has at the beginning or end of the longitudinal side, ie at the top or bottom of the components, two protruding forms: on the top a protruding projection, and on the underside a projecting extension.

The second web profile has two recessed features each at the beginning and end of the profile. These recessed recesses describe: at the top a fold, and at the bottom of a deepening indentation. The spring of the second web profile is a protruding form characteristic.

Each web profile has in each case only three form characteristics, which extend over the entire longitudinal side. In a web profile of the compound according to the invention, the profile characteristics are thus reduced in number, arrangement and shape. The surprisingly simple profile has the effect that the production of components with a corresponding profile is less expensive. Also, the installation of the corresponding connection is simple, since no space-demanding, pivoting movement sequences are necessary (see below for construction and mounting on substructure).

In a preferred embodiment, the web profiles according to the invention are not symmetrical, i. E. the protruding protrusion on the top and the protruding extension on the bottom have different shapes. It is preferred that the above expression is less pronounced protruding than the extension protrudes on the underside. Likewise, in the case of the second profile, the top-side fold is less deeply recessed in relation to the auxiliary plane than the lower-side indentation. Also, the two recessed versions of the second web profile differ by the region of the web profile over which they are each formed, ie in their height along the side wall of the device.

The groove of the first web profile projects according to the invention in the spring of the second web profile. Tongue-and-groove joints are often considered positive as per se. It should be noted that a positive connection between tongue and groove is not the case here, if only the web profiles according to the invention are guided to each other. According to the invention, although the spring of the second profile coincides with the groove of the first profile with respect to the height, but the spring is formed too small to completely fill the hollowed-out volume of the groove. This means that at the top, the bottom and the side wall of the groove, a gap is formed, which extends over the entire length of the elements. If the elements are arranged to each other, a cavity between tongue and groove is present. Only by a sealing element in the present invention, a positive and non-positive connection is achieved.

The sealing element thus extends over the length of the components and fills with its shape the space between the groove and the spring of the two web profiles. The sealing element may have a U-shaped cross-section.

The name giving function of the sealing element leads to a sealing of the connection. Due to the positive connection, which is achieved by the sealing element between the profiles according to the invention, the water passage from the top to the bottom of the connection is prevented. The compound is frictionally with appropriate design of the sealing element. The transmission of the force can take place over the entire surface area of the sealing element. The U-shaped profile has advantages over other smaller contact surface shapes in this regard. The assembly of the sealing element takes place in which the U-profile is attached to the spring of the second web profile before the abutting edges of the web profiles are closed. Unlike sealing elements with a round cross section, the sealing element keeps and does not fall down. So this is also of practical advantage for the assembly.

Furthermore, the object is achieved by a profile connection according to the invention, which is characterized in that the sealing element is made of a form-elastic material.

In a preferred embodiment, the sealing element is formed form-elastic. In this case, formulaic elastic means that the material of the sealing element can change its shape under the action of force and can return to the original shape when the acting force ceases. It is understood that the material of the sealing element thereby has a sufficient dimensional stability. The sealing element may for example be advantageously designed as a rubber. Rubber profiles of the appropriate shape are available as a rubber lip in any longitudinal extent by the meter. A form-elastic sealing element has the advantage that distortion of the material of the profiles can be compensated. The tolerance to temperature-induced distortion of the material is particularly useful outdoors. Here, for example, by one-sided shading also occur the case that only one of the compound forming elements undergoes an expansion. Deformation of the connection even with respect to such irregular fluctuations in the material expansion is ensured by a form-elastic sealing element.

Another effect of positive and non-positive connection via a form-elastic sealing element is a tread suspension for a construction of a floor. Also, no noise such as rattling or clattering occur when the soil is loaded with a profile connection according to the invention. The upper side is the side of the profile connection according to the invention from which a load is to be expected if the profile connection is used as a structure of a substructure. In contrast, the underside of the profile connection, the side with which the elements form the contact surface to a substructure.

The object of the invention is also achieved in that the profile connection is characterized in that the projection is so pronounced that when trained compound the sealing element is completely covered.

The projection thus serves to cover the sealing element from the top side. It follows for the compound according to the invention that the sealing material is not exposed to sunlight. This has the effect of providing UV protection, which can be critical to the durable durability of the sealing element. A compound of the invention is thus resistant to weather and UV light. In addition, the covering of the sealing element by the top-side projection has the advantageous effect of an optically uniform surface, in which neither color nor material of the sealing element can be seen. It is therefore contemplated that the length of the top-side projection and the opposing seam will provide complete coverage of the underlying sealing member even if changes in material extent occur.

In a preferred embodiment, projecting projection on the top in its length coincides approximately with the length of the top side fold of the opposite profile. This has the further effect that the profile connection through the projection - viewed from above - has a substantially flat, seamless appearance. It can also come to the partial positive connection between the lower edge of the projection and the top of the recess. These embodiments have the advantage that there are no exposed notches in which traps dirt.

However, it can preferably be provided that the recess and the projection with their sides are not directly adjacent to each other. In one embodiment, the contact here allows a game, which has the effect that a one-sided material expansion of the projection, for example by temperature differences with different shading, can be intercepted.

The protruding projection on the upper side is preferably formed so that its lower edge coincides in height with the upper edge of the groove. This simplifies the profile, since edges are eliminated, which has a positive effect on the production (see above). On the other profile (on the other side) it is not advantageous if the lower edge of the recess coincides with the upper edge of the spring. To form the cavity between the spring and groove, the upper edge of the spring is offset from the lower edge of the recess.

On the bottom, the length of the extension of the first profile and the length of the indentation substantially coincide, so that there is also a closed surface from the underside.

In one aspect, the profile connection according to the invention, characterized in that between underside extension of the first web profile and underside indentation of the second web profile, a further space is formed.

With regard to the height of the indentation, ie the extension between the underside and the top along the profile, it is thus provided in a preferred embodiment that this height extends over a wider region of the profile than the height of the underside extension of the opposite profile. So there is the space between them. This can essentially be regarded as a cavity. The cavity has the object of the invention to provide a covered area for a fastening material. This results in a requirement for the size of the additional space and thus also the height of the indentation. The additional space is preferably large enough that a head of a mounting material finds room. The fastening material serves, as described in the prior art, to fix a component on a substructure. A fastening material, such as a screw or a nail may be attached prior to the formation of a compound according to the invention. To construct a connection according to the invention between two elements on a substructure, the following steps would be carried out.

A first elongated component with the first web profile is placed on the substructure. An attachment material, such as a screw or a nail, is mounted projecting from the top through the extension of the first web profile into the substructure. Thus, the first web profile is fixed relative to the substructure. Characterized in that the projection is shorter at the top than the extension at the bottom, in which the

Attachment material is attached, the attachment of the mounting materials is facilitated. A tool can be held horizontally on the surface of the extension without the projection in the way.

Furthermore, the attachment of a fastening material is facilitated by a Materialeinkerbung. The invention is characterized in one embodiment in that the underside extension of the first profile has a material notch.

Particularly preferably, this Materialeinkerbung is mounted in one embodiment only at the top of the extension and extends over the entire longitudinal direction. Also conceivable would be individual holes as Materialeinkerbung, as described in the prior art. In any case, the Materialeinkerbung serves that a mounting material here finds a predefined arrangement position, and thus can penetrate easily through the material of the extension. If a mounting material is attached, at the top of the extension still a head of the mounting material is visible. In most cases, a screw head or a nail head fills a certain volume. (This also causes the mounting material to have an attack surface for it to be removed.) In a second step, a second elongated member is prepared with the second web profile by attaching the seal member via the spring. The sealing element is put on. Then, the thus prepared, second elongate member is introduced with the spring in the groove, with pressure for the construction of the positive and Kraftsohleüssigen connection, pressure against the longitudinal side to be applied.

The head of the fastening material is then covered by a trained connection of the second web profile and is located in the formed further space. The cavity is formed in existing connection seitlieh of the side wall of the first profile, the side wall of the second profile, below the top of the extension of the first profile and at the top of the upper edge of the acquisition of the second profile. Due to the overlying sealing element, the fastening material is protected against water ingress and external influences. Thus, the compound of the invention also protects the resistance of the fastening material, for example, against rust.

In one aspect with respect to this space for attaching the fastening material, the invention relates to a profile connection, wherein the underside extension of the first profile has a protruding material protuberance, which projects into the other room.

It is particularly preferred if the material protuberance is to find terminal on the extension of the first profile, ie where the extension of the recess of the second web profile is opposite. The material protuberance has the task of a gutter. Moisture that gets into the other room, for example, by failure of the sealing element or condensation, is prevented from passing through the connection. This has the beneficial effect of protecting the underlying substructure. Water is discharged along the over the material protuberance, which is formed over the entire longitudinal side, and exits at the end faces. It is advantageous if the components for the embodiment are mounted with a slight inclination of the longitudinal direction relative to the horizontal.

The invention also relates to a component which has a web profile on at least one side of the longitudinal direction, characterized in that the web profile has a groove, as well as on the top a protruding projection, and on the underside a projecting extension.

In a further aspect, the invention relates to a second component, which has a web profile on at least one side of the longitudinal direction, characterized in that the web profile a projecting spring, and at the top of a fold, and at the bottom of a recessed indentation having.

The two components are thus designed so that they can enter into a compound of the invention. It is preferred that the extension projects further in the web profile of the first component than the projection. And according to the web profile of the second component is preferred that the recessed indentation is formed larger than the fold. Also, the extension can of course be configured with the above-described characteristics of a protuberance and a notch. Components according to the invention have a web profile on at least one side. In particular embodiments, the components actually have only one web profile. This is the case for components that are designed to connect only. These can be advantageously used at the end of a construction with an arrangement of several components. So they form the conclusion of such a structure.

Accordingly, the invention in one aspect comprises a component, characterized in that the web profile opposite side is formed substantially flat.

These components form termination elements, so that the open sides in the longitudinal direction of a construction of several components are just completed. Of course, alternative termination profiles can also be provided.

The object is also achieved by a component which has a web profile on two sides of the longitudinal direction, wherein the component is characterized in that the web profile is formed on the one, first side of the longitudinal direction, as in the first component and the Web profile on the opposite, second side of the longitudinal direction, as formed in the second component.

Several components of the invention are suitable for forming a surface when they are mounted side by side. The orientation of the individual components is carried out so that the longitudinal directions are parallel. Compounds of the invention form between the individual components when a corresponding sealing element is introduced during assembly. Such an arrangement fulfills the task of a floor construction for outdoor use as described above. In a preferred embodiment, a component is self-supporting.

The surface formed is resistant to water penetration as a whole. The surface is also sustainable if the substructure is not continuous. That is, the corresponding surface can serve the use as a balcony or terrace and is stable against the corresponding weight load. Advantageously, the surface which is assembled with the connection according to the invention is characterized by impact sound. It is permanently resistant to weather and light and warp-free. The upper side formed by the components is substantially uniform and the material of the sealing elements is not apparent.

In preferred embodiments, a component is characterized in that it is made of aluminum, more preferably aluminum with a weather-resistant coating.

Aluminum components have proven to be particularly suitable for components according to the invention due to their material properties. For example, the low density of this metal is advantageous. Suitable coatings are known to the person skilled in the art. For example, the coating may be a powder coating. As a result, the material of the components is optimized in terms of resistance to weathering and UV light. In connection with the compounds according to the invention, the desired durability is thus achieved for corresponding balcony or terrace structures.

In preferred embodiments, a component is also characterized in that the component is a hollow profile with at least one intermediate space, preferably a plurality of spaces separated by web-shaped, reinforcing strand elements.

Such an internal structure of a component according to the invention is already known to the person skilled in the art. Advantageous is the load stability, with comparable low weight. Practically a component with this internal structure can be produced by extrusion. This has the effect that the components according to the invention can be provided with a well-established, common, inexpensive manufacturing process.

Furthermore, it is preferred that a component, characterized in that an upper side of the component is formed with a wave-shaped profile.

This embodiment of the top with small bumps leads to a roughness of the load side. Under the idea of safety, it is advantageous if a balcony or terrace construction of components according to the invention is not consistently smooth, otherwise there is a risk of slipping. In the embodiment of the top as a wave-shaped profile of this aspect has been taken into account, wherein a slight manufacturing process of the components is given by the extending along the longitudinal direction, wavy formations on. Even a slight cleaning is still given in this surface profile, as there are no hard to reach notches in which dirt could catch permanently.

FIGURES AND EXAMPLES

The connection according to the invention and components according to the invention will be described below with reference to schematic figures and exemplary embodiments.

Figures that serve to explain, show: Figure 1 is a frontal Ouerschnitt a possible arrangement of two elongated components according to the invention.

Fig. 2 is a perspective drawing with frontal view of a log processing element.

FIG. 3 shows an end-side cross-section of an exemplary component. FIG.

FIG. 4 shows an end cross section of another exemplary component. FIG.

Fig. 1 shows an arrangement between two interconnected elongated elements 2 and 3 according to the invention, whose opposite longitudinal narrow sides both form a uniform surface, but web profile 4 or web profile 5. A compound 1 according to the invention is formed when a sealing element (see Fig. 2) is present. In the illustrative FIG. 1, no sealing element is shown for reasons of clarity.

To illustrate also serves an auxiliary level, which would each describe sidewalls of the components 2 and 3 without profiles. In the sectional drawing of FIG. 1, the viewing angle corresponds to one dimension of the auxiliary plane, so that it is shown as a dashed line. Profile features that protrude above the auxiliary plane are referred to above, while, if the profile expression does not come close to the auxiliary line, a recessed profile is mentioned. As the top and bottom of the connection, the side walls of the components are referred to, which are not involved in the construction of the connection. Between them, the height of the web profiles is clamped.

The web profile 4 is characterized by a groove 6, as well as at the top a protruding projection 7, and at the bottom of a protruding extension 8. The web profile 5 has a projecting spring 9, and at the top a deepening rabbet 10 and at the bottom of a recessed recess 11. Groove 6 and spring 9 are located at a corresponding height of the web profiles 4 and 5. The spring 9 protrudes into the groove 6, wherein these two are formed so that no positive connection between the spring 9 and groove 6 is achieved and a space 12 results , The spring 9 is shorter (in terms of extension perpendicular to the auxiliary plane) and narrower (in terms of expansion over the height of the connection) than the groove 6, so that the space 12 results from gap-shaped intervals around the spring. In Fig. 1, this space 12 is empty. Compounds according to the invention comprise a sealing element which fills this space (see Fig. 2).

As can be seen in the drawing, the extension 8 is much more forward than the projection 7. The fold 10 is also less pronounced than the recess 11. The recess 11 is also more pronounced in height than the extension of the eighth

This results in a further space 13 between the web profiles 4 and 5 according to the invention, when the located on the underside of the web profile 4, projecting extension 8 does not fill the volume of the recessed recess 11 at the bottom of the web profile 5. According to the invention, the cavity 13 is designed such that there is space for a part of a fastening material. When mounting a connection to a substructure, fastening materials such as chords or nails are used. They are driven to fix the component 2 by the extension 8 and protrude beyond this extension 8. In the space 13, which extends over the longitudinal direction of the components, so seen in the length find parts of several mounting materials place. The fastening material is roughened when, in a first step, the component 2 is fixed on a substructure on the underside of the component. Only then is the connection 1 to the component 3 produced by the sealing element and the web profile 5 are inserted into the web profile 4 suitable.

The notch 14 is a preparation for the introduction of the fastening material. Here the point of a Sehraube or a nail can be attached. It is therefore prevented slipping on the material surface during insertion. The fact that the projection 7 is considerably shorter than the extension is also of practical relevance in this respect. The screw or the nail can be attached with a tool perpendicular to the surface of the extension 8. Advantageously, the notch extends like other forms of the web profiles over the entire longitudinal side, which allows a complete production in the extrusion process. Of course, it is also conceivable that individual notches 14 are made on the length of the components and also that the notch 14 completely penetrates the extension 8. Such perforations could be made by extrusion after fabrication of the device.

Another expression of the extension 8, the protuberance 15. This protuberance can be considered as a material thickening or nose of the extension 8 in the direction of the space 13. In FIG. 1, the protuberance 15 is formed at the end of the extension 8 and thus lies opposite the side wall of the indentation 11. The protuberance 15 prevents water from running between the extension 8 and the indentation 11 in the direction of the underside. The penetration of water from above, e.g. Although by rain or cleaning water is prevented by the sealing element, but water can penetrate into the cavity 13 by condensation on the walls of the cavity 13. Due to the protuberance 15, water runs down over the longitudinal direction and can not drip down between the two bar profiles 4 and 5.

FIG. 2 shows the insulated sealing element 16 in a perspective view. In the front, the frontal view of the profile can be seen that can be described with a U-shape. To the rear, the profile extends over a longitudinal direction. The volume and shape of the sealing element 16 match the cavity 12 indicated in Figure 1. Advantageously, the sealing element is formed in a form-elastic material, such as rubber. This results in a compound according to the invention, when the first cavity 12 is filled over its entire length with a sealing element 16, positive and non-positive.

FIG. 3 shows a sectional drawing of a possible component according to the invention. This can take over both the function of the device 2 and the component 3 with respect to the connection 1, since it has two different web profiles at the two, extending over the longitudinal direction of the side walls. The left side is pronounced according to the web profile 4, while the right side has the web profile 5. Several such components 2/3, such as parquet, or floorboards, can be arranged side by side with the web profiles on the sides and then form the connection 1 via the web profiles 4, 5. For the resulting surface, the advantages that were mentioned above, so that advantageously with the device shown in Figure 3, a balcony or terrace floor can be formed. The components are also suitable for the construction of a deck on a non-continuous substructure. Necessary fasteners are attached through the reinforcement 8 and connect the components to the supports of such a substructure. If required, the components bridge a length between two or more carriers. It is therefore advantageous that the compound of the invention allows a positive connection, as well as a good power transmission between the elements.

FIG. 3 shows a component 2/3 according to the invention as a hollow profile. The component has at least one hollow space 17 in its interior. In the exemplary illustration, which corresponds to an advantageous embodiment, there are a plurality of intermediate spaces 17, 17 ', 17 ", 17"' which are provided by web-shaped reinforcing strand elements 18, 18 ', 18 "Are separated from each other. The intermediate spaces 17, 17 ', 17 ", 17'" and the strand elements 18, 18 ', 18 "each extend over the entire length of the component. By this structure, the device 2.3 can be produced by an extrusion process. In particular, aluminum has proven to be suitable as a material for the device according to FIG. 3 for the present invention. For aluminum it can be achieved by suitable coating that the components do not take damage by rain, other precipitation or solar radiation. The intermediate spaces 17, 17 ', 17 ", 17'" have further advantages. About the front side can be made after construction of a floor with the components of the invention, inserts. Thus, these spaces for introducing reinforcements, for. As steel pipes, are used. It is also conceivable to use the space for laying cables (electric or liquid). This space is also protected from the ingress of moisture from the top and can therefore be used to advantage.

The top of the components is formed with a further profile, in a preferred manner, this profile 19 is wave-shaped. Uniformly distributed and pronounced elevations extend over the longitudinal direction of the components. The top-side profile is advantageously so pronounced that it can be generated in the course of the manufacturing process by extrusion.

4 shows another embodiment of a component according to the invention. Reference numerals are analogous as described in Fig. 3, so that a detailed description is omitted. The difference between the components of Figures 3 and 4 lies in the design of the web profiles 4 and 5. Thus, the spring 9 in Fig. 4 is higher than in Fig. 3. As a result, the gap 17 '"extends over a larger area. Accordingly, the height of the groove 6 in the web profile 4 is formed larger than in Fig. 3rd
