Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Profilverbindungssystem nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a profile connection system according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

Ein derartiges Profilverbindungssystem ist aus der Druckschrift WO-A-91/12390 bekannt. Dort wird zur Verbindung von Pfosten und Riegel eine Verbundanordnung verwendet, die zwei voneinander beabstandete Haltemittel umfasst, von denen ein erstes Haltemittel als Profilstück und ein zweites Haltemittel als Abstützmittel ausgebildet ist. Das Profilstück wird mit dem Pfostenprofil verschraubt und steht formschlüssig in das Riegelprofil ein. Das Abstützmittel steht ebenfalls in das Innere des Riegelprofils ein und verbindet das Pfostenprofil mit dem Riegelprofil zusätzlich form- und kraftschlüssig.Such a profile connection system is from the document WO-A-91/12390 known. There, a composite arrangement is used to connect post and bolt, comprising two spaced-apart holding means, of which a first holding means is designed as a profile piece and a second holding means as a support means. The profile piece is bolted to the post profile and is positively in the latch profile. The support means is also in the interior of the latch profile and connects the post section with the latch profile in addition form-fitting and non-positive.

Aus der Druckschrift DE 86 12 386 U ist ein Profilverbindungssystem bekannt, das zwei winklig zu verbindenden Profile und eine Verbundanordnung umfasst. Die Verbundanordnung ist als ein einzelnes Haltemittel ausgebildet, das mittels mehrerer Schrauben an der Außenseite eines der Profile befestigt ist und in das Innere des zweiten Profils einsteht.From the publication DE 86 12 386 U For example, a profile connection system is known which comprises two profiles to be connected at an angle and a composite arrangement. The composite assembly is formed as a single retaining means, which is fastened by means of a plurality of screws on the outside of one of the profiles and in the interior of the second profile.

Die Erfindung hat es sich zur Aufgabe gemacht, ein Profilverbindungssystem zur Verfügung zu stellen, das eine besonders einfache und dennoch stabile Montage ermöglicht.The invention has set itself the task of providing a profile connection system available, which allows a particularly simple, yet stable assembly.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch ein Profilverbindungssystem mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by a profile connection system having the features of patent claim 1.

Erfindungsgemäß wird vorgeschlagen, dass die Haltemittel durch einen Haltesteg als Teil der Verbundanordnung verwindungsfest miteinander verbunden sind, dass das Profilstück sowie das Abstützmittel als Teile der Verbundanordnung an dem ersten Profil angeschraubt sind und dass das Abstützmittel von dem Profilstück derart beabstandet ist, dass das Profilstück und das Abstützmittel jeweils an gegenüberliegenden Seiten des zweiten Profils mit diesem zusammenwirken. So wird ein Spiel, das die Stabilität einer Pfosten-Riegel-Konstruktion beeinträchtigen könnte, weitestgehend ausgeschlossen. Eine solche Ausgestaltung ergibt eine sehr stabile verwindungsfeste Verbindung zwischen dem ersten und dem zweiten Profil.According to the invention it is proposed that the holding means are torsionally connected by a holding web as part of the composite assembly that the profile piece and the support means are screwed as parts of the composite assembly to the first profile and that the support means of the profile piece is spaced such that the profile piece and the support means cooperate on opposite sides of the second profile with this. Thus, a game that could affect the stability of a mullion and transom construction, as far as possible excluded. Such a design results in a very stable distortion-resistant connection between the first and the second profile.

Das Profilstück ist verhältnismäßig klein baubar und kann so in eine Vielzahl unterschiedlicher Profile eines Fassadensystems eingesetzt werden. Um aber sicherzustellen, dass auch verhältnismäßig große Profile sicher mit der Verbundanordnung verbindbar sind, ist als zweites Teil ein Abstützmittel vorgesehen, das von dem Profilstück beabstandet ist. Dieses Abstützmittel wirkt mit dem zweiten Profil zusammen, derart, dass sich das zweite Profil an dem Abstützmittel abstützt und ein Verwinden oder Verdrehen gerade großer Profile um das verhältnismäßig kleine Profilstück somit sicher und zuverlässig eliminiert wird.The profile piece is relatively small buildable and can be used in a variety of different profiles of a facade system. But to ensure that relatively large profiles are securely connected to the composite assembly, a support means is provided as a second part, which is spaced from the profile piece. This support means cooperates with the second profile, such that the second profile is supported on the support means and thus twisting or twisting straight large profiles around the relatively small profile piece is thus safely and reliably eliminated.

Als Abstützmittel ist hierbei insbesondere zum Beispiel eine Schraube, eine Niete oder auch ein Stift bzw. Bolzen vorgesehen.As a support means in this case, in particular, for example, a screw, a rivet or a pin or bolt is provided.

Da der Abstand zwischen dem Abstützmittel und dem Profilstück veränderbar ist, ist diese erfindungsgemäße Verbundanordnung natürlich problemlos auf verschiedene Dimensionen ansetzbar.Of course, since the distance between the support means and the profile piece is variable, this composite arrangement according to the invention can be easily adapted to different dimensions.

Durch unterschiedlich ausgeprägte Haltestege mit ansonsten unveränderten Haltemitteln im Baukastenprinzip ist eine Verbundanordnung für unterschiedliche Querschnitte des ersten bzw. zweiten Profils herstellbar. Ein wesentlicher Vorteil der Erfindung liegt darin, dass mit der Verbundanordnung, die aus mindestens zwei Teilen besteht, eine verwindungsfeste, stabile und auch für verschiedene Querschnitte des zweiten Profils passende Lösung angeboten wird. Der Einsatz des Haltesteges erlaubt noch weitere Vorteile. Durch den Haltesteg können die übrigen Teile der Verbundanordnung (der Haltesteg zählt insofern natürlich auch als Teil zur Verbundanordnung) an dem ersten Profil befestigt werden.By differently pronounced holding webs with otherwise unchanged holding means in the modular principle, a composite arrangement for different cross-sections of the first and second profile can be produced. A significant advantage of the invention is that with the composite assembly, which consists of at least two parts, a torsion-resistant, stable and also suitable for different cross-sections of the second profile solution is offered. The use of the retaining bar allows even more advantages. By the holding web, the remaining parts of the composite arrangement (the holding web counts insofar, of course, as part of the composite arrangement) can be attached to the first profile.

Durch den Vorschlag des Aufbaus eines Profilverbindungssystems im Baukastenprinzip wird mit einem seiner Ausgestaltung, insbesondere seiner Größe veränderbarem Teil, nämlich dem Haltesteg, und ansonsten unveränderten Haltemittel, nämlich dem Profilstück und dem Abstützmittel, eine große und auch kostengünstig herstellbare Palette von Verbindungsanordnungen geschaffen.By proposing the construction of a profile connection system in the modular principle is created with its one embodiment, in particular its size variable part, namely the holding web, and otherwise unchanged holding means, namely the profile piece and the support means, a large and cost-effectively producible range of connection arrangements.

Dabei erreicht die Erfindung insbesondere eine verwindungsfeste Ausgestaltung der Verbindungsanordnung in sich, aber auch einen verwindungsfesten Verbund des ersten und zweiten Profils, wobei ein großes Spektrum von Profilquerschnitten einsetzbar ist. Natürlich ist die Verbundanordnung primär auf das zweite Profil, in welche die Anordnung eingreift, angepasst. Die Ausgestaltung des Haltesteges kann aber auch insbesondere so optimiert sein, dass es für verschiedene Formen des ersten Profils anpassbar ist.In this case, the invention achieves in particular a torsion-resistant configuration of the connection arrangement in itself, but also a torsion-resistant composite of the first and second profile, wherein a wide range of profile cross sections can be used. Of course, the composite arrangement is primarily on the second profile in which the arrangement engages, customized. However, the configuration of the retaining web can also be optimized in particular so that it can be adapted to different shapes of the first profile.

Alle Teile der Verbundanordnung sind auf der Außenseite des ersten Profils befestigt. Als besonders vorteilhaft hat es sich erwiesen, die Teile der Verbundanordnung an dem ersten Profil anzuschrauben, da diese Verbindung lösbar ist. Hierbei ist es unerheblich, ob die Profile aus Stahl oder Aluminium gefertigt sind. Insbesondere da die beiden Teile der Verbindungsanordnung durch den Haltesteg miteinander verbunden sind, ergeben sich erhebliche Vorteile bei der Montage, da durch die Montage nur des Haltesteges alle Teile der Verbundanordnung bereits fertigt montiert sind.All parts of the composite assembly are mounted on the outside of the first profile. It has proved to be particularly advantageous to screw the parts of the composite assembly on the first profile, since this compound is detachable. It is irrelevant whether the profiles are made of steel or aluminum. In particular, since the two parts of the connection arrangement are connected to each other by the retaining web, there are significant advantages in the assembly, since all parts of the composite assembly are already manufactured by the assembly of the retaining web.

Nach einer ersten Ausführungsform weist das Profilstück mindestens zwei Kanäle für die Aufnahme von Befestigungsmittel auf, wobei die Achsen der Befestigungsmittel winklig insbesondere rechtwinklig zueinander angeordnet sind. Über einen ersten Kanal wird das Profilstück an der Außenseite des ersten Profils befestigt, wobei sich als Befestigungsmittel beispielsweise Nieten eignen. Als Befestigungsmittel sind jedoch vorteilhafterweise Schrauben vorgesehen, die in bereits vorgefertigte Löcher an dem ersten Profil eingreifen. Der zu dem ersten Kanal winklig angeordnete zweite Kanal nimmt ebenfalls Befestigungsmittel auf, die das zweite Profil von außen durchdringen und im zweiten Kanal Aufnahme finden.According to a first embodiment, the profile piece has at least two channels for receiving fastening means, wherein the axes of the fastening means are arranged at an angle, in particular at right angles to one another. Via a first channel, the profile piece is fastened to the outside of the first profile, wherein, for example, rivets are suitable as fastening means. However, screws are advantageously provided as fastening means which engage in already prefabricated holes on the first profile. The angled to the first channel second channel also receives fastening means which penetrate the second profile from the outside and find in the second channel recording.

In einem einfachen Ausführungsbeispiel ist vorgesehen das Profilstück aus einem quaderförmigen Körper zu bilden, der mit den entsprechenden Kanälen versehen ist. Es hat sich jedoch in der Herstellung als vorteilhaft erwiesen, das Profilstück aus einem Pressprofil, insbesondere einem Aluminiumstrangpressprofil herzustellen, wobei der Körper dabei kein massiver Körper mehr ist sondern nur die Konturen der Kanäle ausformt. Auf diese Weise ist ein sehr leichtes Teil herzustellen, bei dem die Anforderungen an Festigkeit jedoch vollständig gegeben sind. Die ersten Kanäle des Profilstücks sind hülsenartig ausgebildet, wobei es sich dabei nicht um eine geschlossene Hülse sondern um eine C-förmig gebildete Hülse handeln kann.In a simple embodiment, it is provided to form the profile piece from a cuboid body, which is provided with the corresponding channels. However, it has proven to be advantageous in production to produce the profile piece from a press profile, in particular an extruded aluminum profile, wherein the body is no longer a solid body but only forms the contours of the channels. In this way, a very lightweight part is produced, but in which the requirements of strength are fully met. The first channels of the profile piece are formed like a sleeve, which may not be a closed sleeve but a C-shaped sleeve.

Diese Kanäle sind vorteilhafterweise in horizontaler Richtung ausgerichtet und sind mit dem senkrecht stehenden Pfosten einer Pfosten-Riegel-Konstruktion verbunden. Diese Kanäle sind gegenüber den ersten Kanälen versetzt, so dass sich die Achsen der Kanäle nicht kreuzen. In die zweiten Kanäle wird von der oberen Seite des zweiten Profils, das den Riegel der der Pfosten-Riegel-Konstruktion bildet, durch Löcher Schrauben hindurchgeführt, die in den Kanälen Aufnahme finden.These channels are advantageously aligned in the horizontal direction and are connected to the vertical post of a mullion and transom construction. These channels are offset from the first channels, so that the axes of the channels do not intersect. In the second channels are passed from the upper side of the second profile, which forms the latch of the mullion-and-transom construction, through holes in screws which are received in the channels.

Verdickungen in den Kanälen ermöglichen eine bessere Verankerung der Schrauben. Durch diese Verdickung werden jedoch die Schenkel des U-förmigen Kanals etwas aufgeweitet, so dass die C-förmigen ersten Kanäle in ihrer Lage etwas verändert werden. Mit den leicht federnd angeordneten ersten Kanälen können unter Umständen Maßungenauigkeiten der am Profil vorgebohrten Löcher ausgeglichen werden.Thickenings in the channels allow a better anchoring of the screws. By this thickening, however, the legs of the U-shaped channel are slightly widened, so that the C-shaped first channels are slightly changed in their position. With the slightly resiliently arranged first channels can be compensated under certain circumstances dimensional inaccuracies of the profile pre-drilled holes.

An den äußeren Schenkeln der U-förmigen Kanäle beziehungsweise an der Hülse des ersten Kanals ist zusätzlich eine Leiste angeformt, die mit der Innenwandung des Profils abstützend zusammenwirkt. Durch Einschrauben der Schraube, die das zweite Profil an dem Profilstück befestigt, wird zumindest einer der Schenkel des U-förmigen Kanals nach außen gedrückt, wobei die Leiste gegen die Innenseite des Profils gepresst wird. Zusätzlich kann die Innenseite des Profils Sicken oder Rippen aufweisen, die mit der Leiste zusammenwirken. Vorteilhafterweise ist der Abstand der Sicken beziehungsweise Rippen auch bei unterschiedlich großen Profilen gleich gewählt, so dass für das Verbinden verschieden großer Profile miteinander immer das gleiche Profilstück verwendet werden kann.On the outer legs of the U-shaped channels or on the sleeve of the first channel, a strip is additionally formed, which cooperates supportingly with the inner wall of the profile. By screwing the screw, which secures the second profile to the profile piece, at least one of the legs of the U-shaped channel is pressed outwards, wherein the strip is pressed against the inside of the profile. In addition, the inside of the profile may have beads or ribs which cooperate with the strip. Advantageously, the spacing of the beads or ribs is the same even with different sized profiles, so that always the same profile piece can be used for connecting different sized profiles together.

Zur Abstützung des zweiten Profilstücks ist ein Abstützmittel vorgesehen, das von dem Profilstück beabstandet ist und auf der dem Profilstück gegenüberliegenden Seite des Profils angeordnet ist. Dieses Abstützmittel selbst ist nicht direkt an dem zweiten Profilstück befestigt sondern verhindert nur ein Verdrehen oder Verwinden des zweiten Profils gegenüber dem ersten. Dieses Abstützmittel beziehungsweise es können auch zwei Abstützmittel sein, die in den gegenüberliegenden Ecken des Profils angeordnet sind, so dass sie jeweils an zwei Seitenwänden des Profils anliegen, besteht aus einem Teil, das mit einer Aufnahme am Profil zusammenwirkt. Diese Aufnahme kann aus einer C-förmigen Ausformungen bestehen, wobei sie im Abstand zur Innenwandung des Profils variabel ist. Das Abstützmittel besteht beispielsweise aus einer Schraube. Es kann sich aber auch um Nieten, Stiften, Bolzen und dergleichen handeln, die an der Außenseite des ersten Profils im Abstand zum Profilstück befestigt ist.To support the second profile piece, a support means is provided, which is spaced from the profile piece and is arranged on the profile piece opposite side of the profile. This support means itself is not attached directly to the second profile piece but prevents only a twisting or twisting of the second profile relative to the first. This support means or it may also be two support means, which are arranged in the opposite corners of the profile, so that they rest in each case on two side walls of the profile, consists of a part which cooperates with a receptacle on the profile. This receptacle may consist of a C-shaped formations, wherein it is variable at a distance from the inner wall of the profile. The support means consists for example of a screw. But it may also be rivets, pins, bolts and the like, which is attached to the outside of the first profile at a distance from the profile piece.

In einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausführung ist der Schenkel des Kanals, welcher Befestigungsmittel aufnimmt, elastisch ausgebildet. Diese Elastizität erlaubt eine gewisse Spielkompensation, ohne dabei aber eine Minderung der Stabilität oder der Verwindungsfestigkeit der gesamten Verbundanordnung zu ergeben.In a particularly advantageous embodiment, the leg of the channel, which receives fastening means, is elastic. This elasticity allows a certain clearance compensation, without, however, resulting in a reduction of the stability or the torsional strength of the entire composite assembly.

Die Verbundanordnung 13 wird dabei auf der Außenseite des ersten Profils 11 befestigt. Hierzu dienen die Schrauben 14. Das Abstützmittel 9, welches z.B. als Schraube, Niete, Stift, Bolzen oder dergleichen ausgebildet sein kann, ist ebenfalls auf der Außenseite des ersten Profils 11 angeordnet, und zwar an der dem Profilstück 8 gegenüberliegenden Seite des ersten Profils 11.The composite assembly 13 is fastened on the outside of the first profile 11. The support means 9, which may be formed, for example, as a screw, rivet, pin, bolt or the like, is also on the outside of the first Profile 11 arranged, and that at the profile piece 8 opposite side of the first profile eleventh

Beide Elemente 8, 9 der Verbundanordnung 13 greifen in das zweite Profil 12 ein. Der erfindungsgemäße Haltesteg ist hier ebenfalls nicht dargestellt. Durch die Schraube 7, die rechtwinklig orientiert zu den Schrauben 14 angeordnet ist, wird das zweite Profil 12 an dem Profilstück 8 befestigt. Eine Besonderheit liegt insbesondere darin, dass das Riegelprofil 12 Löcher 1a für die Aufnahme der Schrauben 7 besitzt, die aber bezüglich der Löcher 8c des Profilstückes 8 versetzt angeordnet sind, so dass sich beim Zusammenschrauben eine Anpressung des Riegelprofils 12 an das Pfostenprofil 11 ergibt. Durch diese Variante werden Spalten, Nieten und ein möglichst spielfreier Aufbau realisiert. Hierzu reicht unter Umständen bereits ein geringer Versatz.Both elements 8, 9 of the composite assembly 13 engage in the second profile 12. The holding web according to the invention is also not shown here. By the screw 7, which is oriented at right angles to the screws 14, the second profile 12 is attached to the profile piece 8. A special feature lies in the fact that the locking bar has 12 holes 1a for receiving the screws 7, but which are arranged offset with respect to the holes 8c of the profile piece 8, so that upon screwing together a pressing of the bar profile 12 results in the post section 11. Through this variant, columns, rivets and a backlash-free construction are realized. This may already be sufficient for a small offset.

Ein weiteres wesentliches Merkmal ist, dass es sich bei dem Profilstück 8 um ein Aluminiumstrangpressprofil handelt, welches eine Vielzahl von Schraubkanälen aufweist. Geschickterweise sind dabei zwei Sorten von Schraubkanälen realisiert, die dazu führen, dass die eingeschraubten Schrauben 14 bzw. 7 bzw. deren Achsen winkelig bzw. recheckig zueinander orientiert sind. Die Schrauben 7 bzw. 14 verbinden die jeweiligen Profile mit dem Profilstück.Another essential feature is that it is the profile piece 8 is an aluminum extruded profile having a plurality of screw channels. Cleverly, two types of screw channels are realized, which cause the screwed screws 14 and 7 and their axes are angular or rectangular oriented to each other. The screws 7 and 14 connect the respective profiles with the profile piece.

Für die Schraube 7 ist ein U-förmiger Schraubkanal 15 vorgesehen. Dieser Schraubkanal 15 befindet sich in dem Profilstück zweimal und weist eine mittige Verdickung 8a auf. Diese mittige Verdickung wird durch die eingedrehte Schraube 7 nach außen gequetscht, derart, dass eine an dem Schenkel des U-förmigen Kanals 15 abstehende Leiste 16 mit einer Sicke, Rippe 17 oder einfach nur der Innenwand des Profils 1, 12 in Berührung kommt. Damit werden für den Einbau notwendige Toleranzen eliminiert und eine spielfreie Montage realisiert.For the screw 7, a U-shaped screw 15 is provided. This screw 15 is located in the profile piece twice and has a central thickening 8a. This central thickening is squeezed outward by the screwed-in screw 7, such that a bar 16 projecting on the leg of the U-shaped channel 15 comes into contact with a bead, rib 17 or just the inner wall of the profile 1, 12. This eliminates the necessary tolerances for installation and realizes a backlash-free installation.

Hat der Schraubkanal 15 die Befestigungsschrauben 7 für das zweite Profil (Riegelprofil) 12 aufgenommen, so sind weitere Schraubkanäle 8 b vorgesehen, die hülsenartig ausgebildet sind aber geschützt sind, um eine gewisse Elastizität aufzuweisen.If the screw channel 15 has received the fastening screws 7 for the second profile (locking profile) 12, further screw channels 8 b are provided, which are of sleeve-like construction but are protected in order to have a certain elasticity.

Der U-förmige Kanal 15 ist an seiner Innenwandung mit Verdickungen 8 a versehen. Diese Maßnahme trägt zu einer Spielkompensation bei, genauso wie die Ausgestaltung, dass die Schenkel 19 des ersten Kanals 1 a elastisch sind. In diesem Zusammenhang wird der Schenkel 19 auch oftmals als Steg 19 beschrieben, ohne aber hiermit die Erfindung beschränken zu wollen. Die Elastizität in dem Schraubkanal 8 b wird insbesondere dadurch geschaffen, dass der Schraubkanal eine längsverlaufende Kerbe aufweist, also nicht vollumfänglich geschlossen ist. Hierdurch ist es möglich, dass der Schraubkanal eine gewisse federnde Eigenschaft besitzt, die insbesondere auch dem Hauptkanal 19 zugute kommt, der rechtwinklig daran anschließt, einen Teil des hülsenartigen Schraubkanals 8 b bildet. In dieser Ausgestaltung resultiert letztendlich eine gewisse Beweglichkeit des Profils 1 in Blattebene (siehe Fig. 1). Günstigerweise sind natürlich die entsprechenden Befestigungsbohrungen so ausgebildet, dass diese ebenfalls eine gewisse Beweglichkeit zur Kompensation des Spieles zulassen.The U-shaped channel 15 is provided on its inner wall with thickenings 8 a. This measure contributes to a game compensation, as well as the configuration that the Legs 19 of the first channel 1 a are elastic. In this context, the leg 19 is often described as a web 19, but without limiting the invention. The elasticity in the screw 8 b is created in particular by the fact that the screw has a longitudinal notch, so is not fully closed. This makes it possible that the screw has a certain resilient property, which in particular also benefits the main channel 19, which adjoins it at right angles, forms part of the sleeve-like screw 8 b. In this embodiment, ultimately results in a certain mobility of the profile 1 in leaf level (see Fig. 1 ). Conveniently, of course, the corresponding mounting holes are designed so that they also allow a degree of flexibility to compensate for the game.

In diese Schraubkanäle 8 b werden die Schrauben 14 zum Befestigen des Profilstückes an dem Pfostenprofil 11 eingedreht. Ein Vorteil liegt insbesondere auch darin, dass eine Lösung für das Profilstück gefunden worden ist, Schraubkanäle für eigentlich rechtwinklig zueinander orientierte Schrauben anzuordnen. Dabei ist der Schraubkanal 8b eigentlich nur ein Führungskanal für eine Schraube, wohingegen die Schraube 7 in den Schraubkanal 15 tatsächlich eingedreht, also befestigt wird. Da das Profilstück 8 so geschickt gefertigt ist, dass zwei in ihrem Einsatz unterschiedlich orientierte Schraubkanäle resultieren, kann es trotzdem kostengünstigst als Strangpressaluminiumteil hergestellt werden. Die kurze Bauform erlaubt einen variablen Einsatz auch bei unterschiedlichsten Profilen.In these screw 8 b, the screws 14 are screwed for attaching the profile piece to the post section 11. An advantage lies in particular in the fact that a solution for the profile piece has been found to arrange screw channels for actually oriented at right angles screws. In this case, the screw 8b is actually only a guide channel for a screw, whereas the screw 7 is actually screwed into the screw 15, that is fixed. Since the profile piece 8 is made so cleverly that two result in their use differently oriented screw channels, it can still be inexpensively manufactured as an extruded aluminum part. The short design allows a variable use even with different profiles.

Das Abstützmittel 9 ist beliebig beabstandbar von dem Profilstück 8 und somit auch an die unterschiedlichsten Profildurchmesser anpassbar. Dabei wirkt das Abstützmittel 9 mit einer Aufnahme 1 b zusammen, die halbkreisartig an dem z.B. als Aluminiumprofil ausgebildetem Profil 1 angeordnet ist. Somit ist das Riegelprofil 12 stationsfest am Pfostenprofil 11 befestigt.The support means 9 is arbitrarily spaced from the profile piece 8 and thus adaptable to a variety of profile diameter. In this case, the support means 9 cooperates with a receptacle 1 b, the semicircular at the e.g. arranged as an aluminum profile trained profile 1 is arranged. Thus, the latch profile 12 stationfest is fixed to the post section 11.

Weitere an der Innenseite des Profils 1, 12 angeformte Aufnahmen ermöglichen mit weiteren Abstützmitteln zusammenzuwirken. Diese können auch über Stege 20 von der Innenwand beabstandet vorgesehen sein.Further integrally formed on the inside of the profile 1, 12 shots allow to interact with other support means. These can also be provided by webs 20 spaced from the inner wall.
