Even though this method appears to be very efficient, it does have the disadvantage that is quite complicated, in particular because the rubber profiles cannot be stretched during installation and the presence of a rubber profile on the one side makes inserting a rubber profile on the other side difficult. In addition, customized rubber profiles must be used depending on the thickness of the glass.
Another similar method is known from GB 2573167 A. A grommet is used on one side to insert the glass panel. After inserting the glass panel , another hollow rubber profile is inserted from above into the space between an edge and the glass panel. This method also comprises the disadvantage that it is quite complicated. In addition, it is not possible to make the seals invisible or to use on both sides.
Other known profile assembly, such as from BE 896,386 and BE 902,247, by the clamping in of the ends of glass panel between two opposite movable profile parts and an elastic element attached between the clamp profile and the aforementioned end of the glass panel. These show, however, that they are quite complicated, in particular that they are suspended using screws, bolts or the like.
Objective of the invention
One objective of the invention may be to create a profile or profile assembly of the type named here that shows not at least one of the disadvantages of the state of the art of technology. In particular, it may be the objective of the invention to make the seals invisible and to provide seals that are usable on both sides of the profile.
An additional objective of the invention may be to create profile assemblies of the aforementioned type that are easier to install, in particular to seal. Another additional objective of the invention may be to create profile assemblies of the aforementioned type that can be suspended without screws, bolts and the like.
Another objective of the invention may be to create profile assemblies of the aforementioned type with better sealing agents. Another additional objective of the invention may be to create profile assemblies of the aforementioned type that have separate clamping and sealing agents. Another objective of the invention may be to create profile assemblies of the aforementioned type that, with the same parts, are suitable to clamp in and seal glass panels with various pre-determined glass thicknesses.
Description of the invention
This objective is achieved according to the invention with an assembly that displays the technical features of the first independent claim.
In a first aspect of the invention, which may occur in combination with the other aspects and embodiments of the invention described herein, the invention relates to a profile assembly comprising a first profile having a profile section mainly extending in the longitudinal direction with a primarily U-shaped cross section for receiving and clamping in a glass panel. The U-shaped profile section comprises a first and second edge, wherein the first and second edges extend toward each other from the opposite upstanding sides in a transverse direction; and a glass panel opening that extends between the first and second edges. The first edge comprises a first channel that extends to the glass panel opening in the transverse direction. The invention comprises an aforementioned profile assembly, wherein the second edge comprises a second channel, wherein the first and second channel extend toward each other in the transverse direction to the glass panel opening, wherein in the second channel a second sealing body is provided that extend into the glass panel opening.
Because both sealing bodies (e.g. rubber profile) of the profile assembly which are mainly located in the first channel, partially extend into the glass panel opening, where an inserted (glass panel) is immediately sealed and it is no longer necessary to then insert rubber profiles from above. In addition, it is no longer necessary to turn the (glass) panel after inserting a rubber profile on one side to make it possible to insert a rubber profile on the other side. This prevents that the rubber profile on the one side from falling out during manipulation of the (glass) panel. In general less manipulation of the assembly is required when connected to the (glass) panel. This prevents damage and glass breakage. In addition, because the first sealing body is mainly found in the first channel, the profile assembly appears more homogeneous and aesthetic, in particular if the first profile and the sealing body (usually black) are different colors. This also makes it possible to make the seals invisible.
In addition, installation of a (glass) panel in the profile assembly is easier and less contaminating because conventional rubber profiles are greased and the (glass) panel is contaminated on both sides during installation.

A third embodiment, which can occur in combination with the other aspects and embodiments of the invention described herein, relates to an aforementioned sealing body, in different sealing directions vertical to the longitudinal direction, different ends at respective connection distances from a respective connection element.
A fourth embodiment, which can occur in combination with the other aspects and embodiments of the invention described herein, relates to an aforementioned sealing body, wherein the first or second connection distance is approximately equal to the distance between the first and second connection elements.
A fifth embodiment, which can occur in combination with the other aspects and embodiments of the invention described herein, relates to an aforementioned sealing body, wherein the first or second connection distance is approximately the equal to the first dimensions of the first sealing body in the respective sealing direction.
In other embodiments of the invention, the complimentary connection elements have one or more protrusions and one or more recesses with a similar shape and size; the first sealing body can be removed without destruction; or further comprises one or more clamp bodies extending in the longitudinal direction in a glass clamp chamber of the first profile.
In a third embodiment of the invention, which may occur in combination with the other aspects and embodiments of the invention described herein, the invention comprises an aforementioned profile assembly, wherein the second sealing body is identical to the first sealing body.
In a fourth aspect of the invention, which may occur in combination of the other aspects and embodiments of the invention described herein, the invention comprises a door panel for a door, a sliding door, a rotating door or a wall, having a frame at least partially made up of a profile assembly according to one of the previous claims.

Figures 4A and 5A show a profile assembly according to the invention to be clamped on an end of a glass panel 2 in a first configuration, and figures 4B and 5B show the profile assembly in a second configuration. The assembly 1 includes one or more clamping bodies 50 extending in the longitudinal direction in a glass clamp chamber 21 of a first profile 3 to calibrate, stabilize and clamp in the glass panel 2, wherein the first profile 3 comprises a distal profile section 4 and a proximal profile section 5 with a U- shaped cross section and edges equipped with a recess that extend toward each other from the opposite standing sides of the U-shaped profile. For example, seen in the longitudinal direction, there may be multiple clamping bodies in the glass clamp chamber 21 at approximate equivalent distance from successive clamping bodies. The assembly 1 also comprises two sealing bodies 30, 40 extending in the longitudinal direction.
Figures 6A and 6B show a first profile 10, 10’ comprising an optional distal profile section and a proximal profile section with a U-shaped cross section formed by a bottom section 11 and a left standing side 12 and a right standing side 13. The profile also comprises a left edge, formed by a top edge section 14, a lower edge section 16 and a channel 15 that extends between the top and bottom edge section, and a right edge, formed by a top edge section 17, a lower edge section 19 and a channel 18 that extends between the top and bottom edge sections. In figure 6B, the bottom edge sections 16’, 17’ extend to the bottom 11 of the first profile 10.
As shown in figure 6A, a glass panel opening 20 extends between the left and right edges of the first profile, through which the glass panel 2 can be installed in the glass clamp chamber 21, here defined between the bottom, the left and right standing sides, the left and right edge and the glass panel opening of the first profile to be clamped into a clamping body (not shown).
