  • Patent number: 9496689
    Abstract: A frame profile for a switchgear cabinet rack has two profile sides perpendicular to one another forming outer sides of the rack, and being in the form of a hollow-profile section. The profile sides transition into one another via transition sections that are perpendicular thereto and a connecting web without formation of an outer edge. The profile sides are adjoined, facing away from the transition sections, by first profile sections which are respectively perpendicular and parallel to the associated profile sides. At least the perpendicular or the parallel first profile sections have a row of fastening receptacles. The perpendicular first profile sections are adjoined by two profile sections which transition into an at least partially rounded contour section, the second profile sections each form with the contour section an undercut of the contour section on the outer side of the profile, and the frame profile encloses a coherent hollow chamber.
