Patent number: 8479465Abstract: A skirting has a profiled rail which forms an accommodating area for a covering. The accommodating area has an opening, through which a visible side of a covering can be seen. The profiled rail has stops on both sides of the opening which are drawn towards said opening. In this case, the opening is dimensioned so as to be smaller than the width of the covering. The covering is pressed against the stops by a spring. In order that it is also possible to use flexible coverings, such as those made of textile materials, for example, at least one plate is provided between the spring and the covering. This plate keeps the covering in a flat configuration.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2011Date of Patent: July 9, 2013Assignee: Kueberit Profile Systems GmbH & Co., KGInventor: Frank Sondermann

Patent number: 7392627Abstract: A profiled rail system (1) is used for bridging floorcovering transitions, ends or staircase edges. The profiled rail system (1) has a base profile (2) and a covering profile (3). The base profile (2) has at least one vertical leg (6), on which an inner shell (9) of a rotary joint (10) is provided. This rotary joint (10) supports the covering profile (3) such that it can be pivoted. For this purpose, two webs (11) oriented downward are provided on the covering profile (3) and, in order to form an outer shell of the rotary joint (10), have at least two partly cylindrical inner contours (12) which lie one above another. These inner contours (12) are formed so as to match the inner shell (9) of the rotary joint (10). In this way, step by step adjustability of the covering profile (3) is implemented. The rotary joint (10) can be clicked as desired into respectively one of the partly cylindrical inner contours (12).Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2005Date of Patent: July 1, 2008Assignee: Hermann Friedrich Kuenne GmbH & Co.Inventor: Frank Sondermann
