  • Patent number: 11885116
    Abstract: The invention relates to a profile for arranging a component for a drywall construction, in particular a profile for a preferably ceiling-side fastening of a drywall, preferably a profile for a drywall comprising a panelled stud frame. Furthermore, the invention relates to a construction element set and to a drywall having such a profile. The invention provides a profile of the aforementioned generic type that can accommodate a possible relative movement of components of a drywall construction in an improved manner. This object is achieved according to the invention in that the profile has, in its cross section, substantially a U shape which comprises a web and two adjoining flanges, wherein the flanges are each designed to be resilient to the same degree and/or in the same manner in the direction which is substantially orthogonal to the web surface.
