• These lateral abutments 20b and 20c are able to cooperate with longitudinal protrusions 21 of the profile 10 ', so as to prevent the spacing of the two longitudinal projections 100c, 101c relative to each other and to block in rotation outwardly the two wings 100; 101 relative to each other in the plane X, Y perpendicular to the longitudinal axis A and in the directions of rotation R2a, R2b inverse to the first directions of rotation R1 a, R1 b.
• each locking piece P1 F, and P2F is further adapted to be fitted on a fixing rail 3 ', 3 ".
• the locking piece P1 F can be used to block the wings 100 and 101 of the finishing profile 10 with a first angular orientation of the wings 100 and 101, in which the two upper faces 100a, 101a of the two wings 100 and 101 are coplanar. and form between them an external angle A1 ( Figure 17) of 180 °.
• the finishing profile 10 ' can serve as a connection between two surfaces S1 and S2 substantially coplanar.
• the blocking piece P2F can be used to block the wings 100 and 101 of the finishing profile 10 with a second angular orientation of the wings 100 and 101, in which the two upper faces 100a, 101a of the two wings 100 and 101 form between them an external angle A2 (Figure 18) between 180 ° and 270 °, and for example an angle A2 of the order of 225 °.
• the finishing profile 10 ' can serve as a connection between two surfaces S1 and S2 substantially parallel, but having a level difference (Figure 18).
• the blocking piece P3F can be used to block the flanges 100 and 101 of the finishing profile 10 with a third angular orientation of the flanges 100 and 101, in which the two upper faces 100a, 101a of the two flanges 100 and 101 form together.
• an external angle A3 ( Figure 19) of 270 °.
• the angle A3 corresponds to the external angle between the upper faces 100a and 101a of the two wings 100 and 101, measured at the junctions of the hinge 102 with the wings 100 and 101.
• the finishing profile 10 'can serve as a connection, for example of the step type, between two surfaces.
• S1 and S2 which are substantially perpendicular to each other ( Figure 19).
• the finishing accessory can be used as a connection between any type of surfaces S1 and S2, and is not limited to the finishing connection, type transition bar, between two floor coverings (RV1, RV2), or between a floor covering (RV1) and the floor or at a walk-on finishing fitting.
• the finishing accessory can be used as a finishing fitting, of the chair type, between two wall coverings, or between a wall covering and a wall on which the wall covering is fixed.
• each wing 100 and 101 can thus be used separately as a connection between a vertical wall P and a floor or floor covering or between a vertical wall and a ceiling.
• FIG. 20 a particular use of the finishing accessory 1F, once the flexible hinge 102 of the finishing profile 1F has been cut in half along its entire length.
• one half of the finishing profile 1 F is used as a stop connection between a vertical wall P and a floor covering RV1.
• a fourth locking piece P4F is used, which is nested in a rail 3 "'fixed on the edge of the floor covering RV1.
