DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
This invention relates to a profile consisting of two sections that are joined together out of which one is an open hollow section with an inner contour which is uniform with and somewhat bigger than the outer contour of the other section and where the opening is arranged so that two identical profiles can be telescoped into each other.
A similar profile has previously been known by GB-A No. 1,476,324, but there, both sections are open and furthermore the opening of each hollow section is so big that the respective sections are only partly surrounded. This naturally has an injurious effect on the torsional rigidity both concerning one profile and two profiles telescoped into each other.
The object of the present invention is to achieve a profile of the type explained by way of introduction which is not impaired with above said disadvantages and this is made possible in that the other section, is solid or a closed hollow one, and that the opening of the open hollow section, has a width which is somewhat bigger than the wall thickness of the hollow section in an area, which is situated on the opposite side relative to the opening of the connection between the sections, so that the hollow sections of the profiles substantially completely surround the other sections of the profiles, respectively, when two identical profiles are telescoped into each other.
According to a special characteristic of the invention the hollow section of two profiles can be united in a way that gives them a common wall and a profile which can be used in many ways. Thus, if the sections are orientated so that an imaginary line which divides the sections of one profile in half coincides with an equally imaginary line of the other section, the result is a straight profile which can be combined with identical profiles to build up the partition of a house or to cover the facade which will be explained further as follows. If the sections are orientated so that an imaginary line which divides the sections of one profile forms an angle with an equally imaginary line of the other profile, an angle-shaped profile is achieved, which can be used together with the straight profile to obtain a corner etc.
The said other section may either be solid or a hollow section, depending on the application for which the profile is intended.
For applications where the profile according to the invention is supposed to rotate, it is preferable for the sections to be semi-circular and joined so that the profile has a circular cross-section. Two profiles telescoped into each other result in a perfectly rounded axle and in case the said other section is a hollow section it is an advantage according to a specific characteristic to arrange at least one radial wall in the hollow section.
The invention will, in the following, be explained further with reference to the enclosed drawings, in which
FIG. 1 shows a cross-section of an arrangement according to the invention with two profiles telescoped into each other. Each of the profiles consists of two rectangular hollow sections joined together.
FIG. 2a shows a cross-section of profiles of another design telescoped into each other. This profile has a cross-section which from a general view, is circular.
FIG. 2b shows a profile according to FIG. 2a where one hollow section is fitted with a radial wall.
FIGS. 3a, 3b and 3c show a straight, an angle, and a straight profile, respectively, which has been achieved by combining two profiles according to FIG. 1.
FIG. 4 shows a concluding profile which is combined with the profiles according to FIG. 3b and can be combined with the profile according to FIG. 3a.
FIG. 3c is a cross-section derived from FIG. 3a of such arrangement showing three profiles telescoped into each other.
A profile according to the invention consists of two sections 1, 2 joined together by means of a common wall 3.
Of the sections, section 1 is a hollow section with an inner contour which is uniform with and somewhat bigger than the outer contour of section 2. Depending on the field of application this can
