  • Publication number: 20120060901
    Abstract: The invention relates to a profile rail in particular for supporting framed solar modules, including a rail element and two support arms, wherein at least one of the support arms protrudes from the rail element in a transversal direction (q) that is perpendicular to a longitudinal orientation of the profile rail, and wherein the support arms include support surfaces that are parallel to one another are at different elevations with respect to a lower edge of the profile rail with an elevation offset from one another in an elevation direction perpendicular to the transversal and longitudinal direction, and a support surface oriented in the transversal direction and arranged between the support arms, wherein the support surface bridges the elevation difference between the support arms at least partially.

  • Patent number: 8091847
    Abstract: The invention relates to a connectable profiled mounting rail, comprising longitudinal webs (3) for connecting the elements to be mounted, wherein the basic profile has a discontinuous, essentially rectangular surface line (4). On the one side, a connection profile (5) for attachment of the profiled mounting rail (1) is provided. The connection profiles (6, 7) located on the opposite side are arranged in such a structural manner that a second profiled mounting rail (2) which has the same profile cross-section and is rotated by 180° can be connected in a positive fit to the first profiled mounting rail (1) by inserting the connection profiles (6, 7) into each other.
