Abstract

The invention relates to a support arm profile for a support arm system, comprising a receiving space for cables or the like which is open toward the surroundings, wherein a connecting element is molded inside the support arm cross-section and is connected indirectly or directly to two opposite side walls of the profiled support element. In such a support profile, high profile stiffness, which meets all the requirements of a support arm system, can be achieved in that two delimiting elements are connected, spaced apart, to the connecting element, and that the delimiting elements extend from the connecting element at an angle to the side walls.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A support profile for a support arm system, comprising a receiving space for cables which is accessible via an insert opening and open towards the surroundings, wherein a connecting element is molded inside the support profile cross-section and is connected directly or indirectly to two opposite side walls of the support profile, wherein two delimiting elements and two further delimiting elements are connected, spaced apart from the side walls, to the connecting element and extend from the connecting element at an angle to the side walls, wherein the delimiting elements and the further delimiting elements respectively extend from the connecting element in opposite directions, wherein the side walls merge at both of their ends into corner pieces respectively equipped with two screw channels, both the delimiting elements and the further delimiting elements are molded to the corner pieces, and wherein cavities are defined between the connecting element, the delimiting elements, the further delimiting elements and the side walls, wherein the insert opening is further delimited by two tabs extending in longitudinal profile direction, each of the tabs comprising indentations on opposing sides of the tabs, and the tabs are connected by a connector and the connector comprises two fastener parts on opposing ends of the connector, with each faster part comprising a pair of protrusions which are configured to engage with the indentations of the tabs.

2. The support profile of claim 1 , wherein the connecting element extends, shaped as a wall, towards the support profile width and between the side walls.

3. The support profile of claim 1 , wherein the two screw channels in each corner piece extend in a longitudinal profile direction and are machined into the corner pieces.

4. The support profile of claim 1 , wherein the delimiting elements and the connection element delimit the receiving space.

5. The support profile of claim 1 , further comprising a cover latched to counter latching elements on the support profile, the cover having a blind that at least partly covers the insert opening.

6. A support profile for a support arm system, comprising a receiving space for cables which is accessible via an insert opening and open towards the surroundings, wherein a connecting element is molded inside the support profile cross-section and is connected directly or indirectly to two opposite side walls of the support profile, wherein two delimiting elements and two further delimiting elements are connected, spaced apart from the side walls, to the connecting element and extend from the connecting element at an angle to the side walls, wherein the delimiting elements and the further delimiting elements respectively extend from the connecting element in opposite directions, wherein the side walls merge at both of their ends into corner pieces respectively equipped with two screw channels, and both the delimiting elements and the further delimiting elements are molded to the corner pieces, wherein the insert opening is delimited by two tabs extending in longitudinal profile direction, the tabs are connected by a connector and the connector comprises two fastener parts clamped with the tabs, and wherein the support profile further comprises a cover latched to counter latching elements on the support profile, the cover having a blind that at least partly covers the insert opening, and cavities are defined between the connecting element, the delimiting elements, the further delimiting elements and the side walls of the profile element, each of the tabs comprising indentations on opposing sides of the tabs, and the tabs are connected by the connector and the connector comprises the two fastener parts on opposing ends of the connector, with each fastener part comprising a pair of protrusions which are configured to engage with the indentations of the tabs.
