Definitions

• the present invention relates to a motion-absorbing profile for attachment to a joint formed between two components.
• the joint can, in particular, be an expansion joint, which, in order to prevent stress cracks, provides a means of compensating for the unavoidable, material-dependent expansion and contraction of the respective components due to thermal influences.
• Such joints are particularly necessary in connection with building openings, such as doors or windows. In these areas, the additional challenge lies in the fact that different materials adjoin each other, whose thermal behavior differs due to their different coefficients of thermal expansion.
• a motion recording profile with the features of the preamble of claim 1 is made of US 5,799,456 A known.
• Another motion capture profile whose elements are partly magnetically coupled, is used, for example, in CN 201 539 022 U revealed. Furthermore, it is revealed in US 2009/0211191 A1 It is described that a cover plate can be covered with materials such as carpet, fabric, tiles, wood or combinations thereof to adapt it to adjacent surfaces.
• a cover can be provided or attached to profiles that may already be used for other purposes in the area.
• the joint is fitted with profiles.
• Suitable construction profiles include, for example, plaster profiles or facade profiles.
• Expansion joint profiles can be specifically designed for placement along an expansion joint.
• reveal connection profiles are often installed in the area of a joint. Basically, however, any profile that can be used to cover a joint, in addition to any other function, is suitable.
• the movement absorption profile is designed for installation in a joint formed between two building components.
• This can be any type of building profile that allows for movement absorption.
• it can be an expansion joint profile or a reveal connection profile.
• the movement absorption profile comprises a first profile strip designed for attachment to one of the two building components, and a second profile strip designed for attachment to the other.
• the profile strips can be specially designed for attachment to their respective building components.
• Features include structures such as contact surfaces and edges, as well as openings for fasteners such as screws, nails, staples and the like, and for plaster.
• the motion-absorbing profile further comprises a central section that connects the profile strips and is flexible enough to allow movement relative to each other.
• the central section or at least a profile segment of the central section, is preferably designed to be positioned within the joint.
• the central section preferably connects the two profile strips in that it is connected to both the first and the second profile strip, preferably mechanically, and in particular firmly.
• connection refers not merely to contact between two connected elements, but to a cohesion that can be, for example, form-fit, force-fit, or material-fit, and is preferably permanent.
• the flexibility of the central section means, in particular, that it can be significantly and reversibly deformed by forces such as those occurring during the expected movements of the components, without being damaged. This deformability can also be elastic, which can be advantageous, for example, for sealing the joint.
• the flexibility of the central section connecting the two profile strips allows them to move, at least to a limited extent, relative to each other. It is advantageous if the central section permits at least those relative movements of the profile strips that occur, in particular, due to thermal expansion between the components on which the motion-absorbing profile is mounted. Thus, the relative movements to be permitted are primarily translations and possibly also to some degree of torsion, but generally not rotations.
• the motion-absorbing profile includes a cover strip for concealing the central area and thus, in particular, also for covering the joint into which the central area can advantageously be inserted. It is preferred that the cover strip is arranged such that it completely covers the central area, essentially regardless of the relative position of the two profile strips during their movement, especially when viewed from the outside into the joint parallel to the joint.
• the first and second profile strips, as well as the cover strip, have a particularly elongated structure with at least a substantially constant cross-section. Extending longitudinally perpendicular to the cross-sectional plane, the strips can reach a length of several meters, e.g., 2 m, and can be cut to a desired length or extended by joining several profiles together.
• the cover strip is coupled, or at least connectable, to the first and second profile strips, with the coupling being dependent, in particular, on the current position of the cover strip.
• the motion-absorbing profile is designed such that, during normal use, the cover strip is not merely connectable, but always coupled, to at least one of the two profile strips.
• the respective coupling serves, in particular, to hold the cover strip securely to the profile strip(s) and can, for example, be mechanical.
• At least the coupling of the cover strip with the second profile strip is a magnetic coupling.
• the cover strip and the second profile strip are designed to... to be magnetically coupled together, whereby this coupling does not necessarily have to be permanent.
• the advantage of magnetic coupling lies particularly in its ability to provide a hold comparable to mechanical coupling while being easily reversible, especially since it can be repeatedly detached and reattached with virtually no wear. Furthermore, magnetic coupling, particularly in the direction perpendicular to the effective attraction of the magnetic elements involved, allows for movement, especially sliding movement, of the coupled elements. The magnetic coupling can be maintained up to a certain degree of movement. Therefore, because the cover strip is magnetically coupled or can be coupled to the second profile strip, it is possible for the cover strip and the second profile strip to move relative to each other in a corresponding manner to compensate for relative movements of the components forming the joint, without breaking the coupling. In this way, the cover strip can be coupled to both profile strips and always be positioned to cover the central area, even though the two profile strips also move relative to each other due to relative movements of the components.
• connection (permanent connection or coupling capability) of the cover strip to the first profile strip can also be magnetic. Therefore, the cover strip can be held purely magnetically to the two profile strips and rest, so to speak, "floating" magnetically on the profile strips, which are movable relative to each other.
• the cover strip is mechanically coupled to the first profile strip, for example, mechanically hinged to the first profile strip or otherwise mechanically firmly connected to the first profile strip.
• the cover strip can be connected to the first profile strip in any way.
• the cover strip can also be formed in one piece, with the cover strip then preferably being formed by that section of this one-piece element that extends across the joint and, in particular, conceals the central area to the outside. In this way, at least a large part of the joint can advantageously not only be concealed but preferably also plastered over.
• the cover strip and the second profile strip can each have a magnetic element, so that the cover strip is magnetically coupled or can be coupled to the second profile strip by the magnetic interaction of the two magnetic elements.
• the magnetic element of the second profile strip is, for example, a magnetic strip, i.e., a permanent magnet in strip form, wherein the magnetic strip preferably extends over the entire longitudinal extent of the profile strip.
• a magnetic strip i.e., several separate, preferably flat, permanent magnets can also be arranged over the longitudinal extent of the profile strip, particularly in a regularly spaced manner.
• the magnetic element of the cover strip is, for example, a strip of sheet steel or a strip of another magnetizable, i.e., in particular ferromagnetic or ferrimagnetic, material, which preferably extends over the entire longitudinal extent of the cover strip.

• a permanent magnetic element can also be provided on both the cover strip and the second profile strip.
• the magnetic element can also be integrated into the second profile strip and/or the cover strip.
• the cover strip can be made of a material that is itself magnetizable.
• the cover strip can comprise a hybrid material consisting of a plastic and magnetizable metal components. If the second profile strip then incorporates a permanent magnet as its magnetic element, this magnet can directly attract the cover strip for magnetic coupling.

• the encasement can be designed as a shell, e.g., an elongated sleeve, in which the respective magnetic element is received, e.g., inserted.
• the magnetic element of the second profile strip is arranged on a projection of the second profile strip that extends beyond the central area. This allows the cover strip to be supported more centrally and therefore more stably than if the magnetic coupling were located laterally to the central area.
• the magnetic coupling between the cover strip and the second profile strip is such that the cover strip, when magnetically coupled to the second profile strip, can be moved relative to the second profile strip while maintaining the magnetic coupling.
• the cover strip can be moved, at least to a limited extent, without breaking the magnetic coupling.
• This can be achieved, in particular, by aligning the magnetic coupling appropriately with a relative movement of the two profile strips permitted by the flexible central area, so that the second profile strip can move, in particular slide, not only relative to the first profile strip, but also relative to the cover strip, while remaining magnetically coupled to it.
• the motion-absorbing profile can have a longitudinal extent that corresponds, in particular, to the respective longitudinal extents of the two profile strips and the cover strip, wherein the motion-absorbing profile is designed to be attached to the joint with its longitudinal extent aligned parallel to the joint.

Therefore, the aforementioned arrangement, with the interface aligned parallel to its longitudinal extent, allows displacements of the second profile strip relative to the first profile strip and relative to the cover strip in the direction of its longitudinal extent. Such an embodiment is therefore particularly advantageous when relative movements of the two components forming the joint are expected in a direction parallel to the joint.

Such movements correspond, in particular, to relative movements of the components forming the joint towards or away from each other, thereby narrowing or widening the joint.
• the interface is aligned both parallel to the longitudinal extent of the motion-absorbing profile and parallel to the contact surface(s) of the profile strips.
• Both the profile strips and the cover strip can each have a surface designed to be plastered. It is particularly preferred that a surface of the first profile strip, a surface of the second profile strip, and a surface of the cover strip are all designed to be plastered. These surfaces are preferably located on a side of the respective strip that faces away from the respective components when the movement-absorbing profile is installed. In particular, the surface of each profile strip can be positioned opposite a respective contact surface. This profile strip is positioned so that, when installed, it rests against the component. To ensure proper plastering, the respective surfaces have a specially designed structure that provides good adhesion for the plaster. For example, the surface of the cover strip can be provided with a plaster base strip, e.g., by gluing or coating it. Furthermore, a screed edge for plastering can be formed on the cover strip, particularly at its end facing the second profile strip, or even on both sides.

Furthermore, it is preferred if the two profile strips can be displaced relative to each other along the interface, in particular if they can slide along one another.
• the cover strip is movable between a concealed position, in which it is magnetically coupled to the second profile strip and covers the central area, and an open position, in which it is decoupled from the second profile strip, so that the central area is at least partially accessible.

• the cover strip has a longitudinal groove, in particular a V-shaped cross-section, and is bendable, foldable, or hinged circumferentially around a valley region of the longitudinal groove, particularly around the apex of the V-shape, between the covered position and the open position. Overlaps of these movement possibilities are also conceivable.
• the cross-section is preferably essentially constant over the entire longitudinal extent of the cover strip.
• One or both of the upper edges of the longitudinal groove, which laterally delimits the longitudinal groove can project beyond the surface of the cover strip and thereby form edges or at least boundaries for plastering over the movement-absorbing profile.
• the surface of the cover strip can thus have a drip edge for plastering on both sides between the longitudinal groove and the end of the cover strip pointing towards the second profile strip.
• the cover strip By bending, folding, and/or folding, the cover strip can be moved, particularly between the covered and open positions. Since these movements occur around the valley of the longitudinal groove, the groove is narrowed in each case. In this way, the longitudinal groove can provide the necessary space for movement from the covered to the open position in a defined manner. This is particularly important when the movement-absorbing profile, including the cover strip, is to be plastered, in which case essentially only the longitudinal groove needs to remain free of plaster, while the entire rest of the profile can be plastered. If, on the other hand, the cover strip were hinged to the first profile strip or were simply bent open without the longitudinal groove, the plaster applied there could crack or at least be loosened and damaged. This can be prevented by providing the longitudinal groove. In this way, for example, a wall with an expansion joint, to which the movement absorption profile is attached, can be plastered almost continuously, with the exception of a narrow gap defined by the longitudinal joint, so that the desired impression of an essentially seamless surface is achieved.
