Abstract: Panel-shaped components are used for interior construction, e.g., for covering walls, ceilings and/or fabricating lightweight walls. Connecting elements are used during the assembly of such wall components. A connecting element is suitable for connecting several such wall components with each other, thereby greatly simplifying the assembly of wall components above all with respect to handling, and increasing the stability of such a wall. For this reason, such a connecting element has two U-shaped profiles offset to each other, which can accommodate at least two wall components, preferably plasterboards, whose narrow sides abut against each other. The non-positive connection between the connecting element and a wall component is established according to the invention using pop rivets or the known drywall screws.
