Abstract: An apparatus is described which is formed for expanding elongated, ribbon-shaped metal elements moving in the longitudinal direction and suitable for forming open section elements such as upright sections or plaster sections or closed section elements such as passages or pipes, the apparatus includes a feed station, a cutting station, a positioning station and a connection station, with the feed station being formed for the at least substantial continuous feed of at least one metal element to the cutting station. The cutting station is formed for producing at least one continuous meandering incision which extends in the longitudinal direction of the at least one metal element and by which at least two longitudinal portions of the at least one metal element having meandering longitudinal edges are produced.

Abstract: The invention relates to a thin-walled, cold-formed profile element, in particular a structural profile, for example a drywall construction, facade, plaster, screed, tile or cable carrier profile or a shelf or drain rail. The profile element has an elongated profile body, in particular metallic or consisting of plastic, in which a multiplicity of openings is formed. The profile body comprises at least two separately constructed longitudinal sections, each longitudinal section comprising a serpentine longitudinal edge. The longitudinal sections each comprise an elongated section and a plurality of connecting sections projecting laterally beyond the elongated section, which are bordered by the serpentine longitudinal edge. The connecting sections of the one longitudinal section face the connecting sections of the other longitudinal section and are in each case welded to the latter edge to edge or joined to one another along curved abutting edges.

Abstract: The invention relates to a profile element, in particular a construction profile, for example a dry construction profile, a profile for facades or a rendering profile, comprising, in particular a metallic profile body (17, 18) and at least one sealing element (9, 10, 11). Said sealing element is fixed. at least to a longitudinal side of the profile body and is made of a plastic. Openings (13) are embodied in. the longitudinal side of the profile body and the sealing element comprises projections (12) that are embodied as a single piece with the sealing elements for fixing to the profile body (17, 18, 20) on the side of said sealing elements that face the profile body (17, 18, 20), said projections protruding through the openings. The invention also relates to a method for producing said type of profile element.

Abstract: A component assembly and a suspension device for supporting rails, in particular for suspended ceilings or the like, and a method for manufacturing the component assembly and the suspension device are described. The component assembly includes first and second components that are generally flat-shaped and fastened to each other, where at least two guide slots extending substantially parallel are formed both in the first component and in the second component. The regions of the first and of the second component that are arranged between the guide slots each form retaining portions. The first component and the second component are plugged together in the longitudinal direction of the guide slots in overlapping relation to each other.

Abstract: The invention describes a cabinet profile of a cabinet, in particular a switchgear cabinet profile of a switchgear cabinet. The cabinet profile comprises an elongate metal hollow profile which has a plurality of wall sections, which adjoin one another, in the circumferential direction, wherein one or more openings are formed at least in some of the wall sections. The one or more openings are formed at least in a wall section which faces the outer face of the cabinet when the cabinet profile is in the mounted state, wherein at least a portion of the one or more openings is covered by at least one plastic cover which is connected to the hollow profile. The invention also describes a cabinet, in particular a switchgear cabinet, having at least one horizontally running cabinet profile of this kind.

Abstract: A profile element (1) is described, in particular a construction profile, for example, a dry construction profile, a profile for facades or a rendering profile, a screed profile, a tiling profile or cable support profile, having an elongate profile body (2), in particular consisting of metal or plastics material, in which a plurality of openings are formed. The profile body (2) comprises at least two separately formed longitudinal portions (10, 11), each of which comprises a meandering longitudinal edge (12, 13). The longitudinal portions (10, 11) have overlapping regions (28, 29), which are bounded in some regions by the meandering longitudinal edges (12, 13). Connecting means (16, 17; 30, 31; 37, 40) formed in the overlapping regions (28, 29) are used to plug together the longitudinal portions (10, 11) in a direction transverse to the longitudinal extension thereof. The openings (5) are formed between portions (24, 25) of the meandering longitudinal edges (12, 13) of the two longitudinal portions (10, 11).

Abstract: The invention relates to a metal profile having an elongated base section (2). The base section (2) comprises at least two longitudinal sections (8) that run parallel to each other and that are connected to each other at several connecting points by way of connecting elements (12) configured in one piece with the longitudinal sections (8). A predetermined distance (19) is provided between the longitudinal sections (8) and is bridged in sections by the connecting elements (12) for connecting the longitudinal sections (8). The base section (2) is provided with at least one through-opening (23), extending from one of the longitudinal sections (8) across the distance (19) to the other longitudinal section (8). At least one two-part edge (24) of the through-opening (23) extending over the distance (19) is covered by a separate cover element (27, 31), extending along the edge (24) from the one longitudinal section (8) of the base section (2) across the distance (19) to the other longitudinal section (8).

Abstract: A profiled rail for supporting plate-shaped elements, particularly for inlay mounting of ceiling plates for louvered ceilings includes a base body, having a T-profile in select areas, a longitudinally extended web and a lower flange. The lower flange runs along a longitudinal edge of the web and comprises two lower flange sections each extending from the web essentially in opposite directions. The lower flange is formed by bending the web. The side of the lower flange, which is oriented away from the web, is provided with a facing board. A multitude of openings are provided in the web, whereby at least one of the lower flange sections is formed by material sections of the web that are folded out from the openings. The web is provided as a single layer essentially over its entire surface. A method for producing a profiled rail of this type is also provided.
