Abstract

A profile system for fixing coverings, in particular roof sealing sheets, including at least one first fixing profile, at least one second fixing profile, wherein the first and the second fixing profiles each have a fixing flange, a first end section and a second end section, as well as at least one connecting clip for the detent reception of both the first end section of the first fixing profile and also the detent reception of the second end section of the second fixing profile in such a way that the first and the second fixing profiles form a common composite profile.

First claim

1 . Profile system for fixing coverings, comprising at least one first fixing profile, at least one profile, wherein the first and the second-fixing profiles each have a fixing flange, a first end section and a second end section as well as at least one connecting clip for the detent reception of both the first end section of the first fixing profile and also the detent reception of the second end section of the second fixing profile in such a way that the first and the second fixing profiles form a common composite profile.

2 . Profile system according to claim 1 , wherein the first and/or the second fixing profile is/are made at least in some sections from metal, and/or the fixing clip is made at least in some sections from plastics.

3 . Profile system according to claim 1 , wherein the first and/or the second fixing profile is formed as a U-profile and has two web regions, wherein the web regions are folded and/or bent at least in some sections and/or an outwardly directed corner projection is formed between the fixing flange and at least one web region, and/or wherein at least one web region is curved inwards at least in some sections and/or wherein a transverse extension of the fixing flange is at least 1.5 times.

4 . Profile system according to claim 1 , wherein the end sections and the connecting clip are formed to correspond with one another in such a way that a snap-fit connection and/or push-fit connection, can be produced, in such a way that the relevant end section first produces a snap-fit connection with the connecting clip and then is changed into its final assembly position by push-fit, and/or a connection can be produced without further connecting elements.

5 . Profile system according to claim 1 , wherein the first and/or the second fixing profile and/or the connecting clip has/have at least one recess.

6 . Profile system according to claim 1 , wherein that the connecting clip has a U-shaped cross-section.

7 . Profile system according to claim 1 , wherein the connecting clip has a stop element against which at least one end section can be placed, wherein the stop element is designed and arranged so that the end edges of the two fixing profiles can be placed against surfaces of the stop element which are directed away from one another, in such a way that the stop element functions as a spacer member.

8 . Profile system according to claim 1 , wherein the connecting clip is substantially plate-shape in design and/or has on the longitudinal edges mountings for mounting at least sections of the web regions.

9 . Profile system according to claim 1 , wherein the connecting clip has at least one ring section in which at least one end section can be inserted.

10 . Profile system according to claim 1 , wherein the connecting clip covers at least sections of an upper side of at least one fixing profile, at least sections of an inner face of the fixing flange and/or at least sections of the web regions, and/or covers at least sections of an underneath side of at least one fixing profile.

11 . Profile system according to claim 1 , wherein the fixing profiles are shorter than 3.5 m, and/or longer than 1.0 m.

12 . Profile system according to claim 1 , wherein an end clip is provided for the detent reception of the second end section of the first profile element.

13 . Profile system according to claim 1 for fixing coverings.

14 . A connecting clip for the detent reception both of a first end section of a first fixing profile and also for the detent reception of a second end section of a second fixing profile in such a way that the first and the second fixing profile form a common composite profile for fixing coverings.

15 . Roof sealing system, comprising a profile system according to claim 1 as well as a sub-structure and/or a damp and/or air proofing sheet and/or a heat-insulating layer and/or a roof sealing sheet and/or an sealing profile covering.

16 . Method for fixing coverings, by using a profile system according to claim 1 , wherein at least one end section is snap-fitted and/or push-fitted into the connecting clip.
