Protection profile for a substantially plate-shaped body

Abstract

The protection profile for a substantially plate-shaped body ( 30 ) includes a profile strip ( 40 ) made of thermoplastic foam with two flanks ( 41, 42 ) and a slat ( 43 ). In the receiving space ( 44 ) of the profile strip ( 40 ) a foil inlay ( 50 ) is inserted in such a way that the exposed ends of its sidewalls ( 51, 52 ) are firmly joined to the exposed front faces ( 45, 46 ) of the flanks ( 41, 42 ) and its base wall ( 53 ) is arranged at such a distance ( 54 ) from the slat ( 43 ) that, also with the plate-shaped body ( 30 ) inserted in the foil inlay ( 50 ), the base wall ( 53 ) does not come into contact with the slat ( 43 ), but under the weight of the plate-shaped body ( 30 ) the foil inlay ( 50 ) presses the flanks ( 41, 42 ) of the profile strip against the plate-shaped body ( 30 ).

1 . Protection profile for a substantially plate-shaped body ( 30 ), 
 wherein the protection profile comprises a profile strip ( 40 ) made of foamed plastic, which has two flanks ( 41 ,  42 ) each with a flank inner face ( 47 ,  48 ) and an exposed front face ( 45 ,  46 ) as well as a slat ( 43 ) connecting the flanks ( 41 ,  42 ) with a slat inner face ( 49 ),    wherein the flank inner faces ( 47 ,  48 ) and the slat inner face ( 49 ) delimit a receiving space ( 44 ), which between the exposed front faces ( 45 ,  46 ) of the flanks ( 41 ,  42 ) has a strip opening ( 60 ) extending in the longitudinal direction of the profile strip ( 40 ), and    wherein an inlay is arranged in the receiving space ( 44 ) for contact with the plate-shaped body ( 30 ), which is joined on the profile side and has a strength greater than that of the foam,    characterized in    that the inlay is a foil inlay ( 50 ) with an inlay opening ( 70 ) extending in the longitudinal direction of the profile strip ( 40 ) and with an inner space ( 74 ), which is delimited by sidewalls ( 51 ,  52 ) extending along the flank inner faces ( 47 ,  48 ) of the profile strip ( 40 ) and by a base wall ( 53 ) facing the slat inner face ( 49 ) of the profile strip ( 40 ),    whereby the sidewalls ( 51 ,  52 ) of the foil inlay ( 50 ) rise above the strip opening ( 60 ) of the profile strip ( 40 ) and are joined at least to the exposed front faces ( 45 ,  46 ) of the flanks ( 41 ,  42 ) of the profile strip ( 40 ),    whereby the base wall ( 53 ) of the foil inlay ( 50 ) is arranged at a distance ( 54 ) from the slat inner face ( 49 ) of the profile strip ( 40 ), and    whereby the distance ( 54 ) of the base wall ( 53 ) of the foil inlay ( 50 ) from the slat inner face ( 49 ) of the profile strip ( 40 ) is dimensioned so that the plate-shaped body ( 30 ) introduced into the foil inlay ( 50 ) through the inlay opening ( 70 ), with one edge ( 31 ,  32 ) lying on the base wall ( 53 ) of the foil inlay ( 50 ), bends the flanks ( 41 ,  42 ) of the profile strip ( 40 ) with the foil inlay ( 50 ) due to the foil inlay ( 50 ) being joined to the exposed front faces ( 45 ,  46 ) of the profile strip ( 40 ) towards one another, starting from the inlay opening ( 70 ) and the strip opening ( 60 ) and presses them against the plate-shaped body ( 30 ), without the base wall ( 53 ) of the foil inlay ( 50 ) coming into contact with the slat inner face ( 49 ) of the profile strip ( 40 ).    
   
   
       2 . Protection profile according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the foil inlay ( 50 ) is joined to the profile strip ( 40 ) by means of bonding, welding or co-extrusion.  
   
   
       3 . Protection profile according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the foil inlay ( 50 ) is provided with a support ( 56 ) in the region of its sidewalls ( 51 ,  52 ) and/or in the region of its base wall ( 53 ) and/or in the transitional area between its sidewalls ( 51 ,  52 ) and its base wall ( 53 ).  
   
   
       4 . Protection profile according to  claim 3 , characterized in that the support ( 56 ) is a reinforcement, adhesive layer or non-slip coating.  
   
   
       5 . Protection profile according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the foil inlay ( 50 ) on the outer side encompasses the whole profile strip ( 40 ).  
   
   
       6 . Protection profile according to  claim 1 , characterized in that at least one support ledge ( 57 ) is provided on the sidewalls ( 51 ,  52 ) and/or the base wall ( 53 ) of the foil inlay ( 50 ) for consistent conduction of the force resulting from the weight of the plate-shaped body ( 30 ) into the flanks ( 41 ,  42 ) of the profile strip ( 40 ).  
   
   
       7 . Protection profile according to  claim 6 , characterized in that the support ledges ( 57 ) consist of hard foam or a solid material.  
   
   
       8 . Protection profile according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the sidewalls ( 51 ,  52 ) of the foil inlay ( 50 ) have a longitudinal fold ( 58 ) opening in the direction of the slat inner face ( 49 ) with concealed integrated glue, adhesive or non-slip coating.  
   
   
       9 . Protection profile according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the receiving space ( 44 ) is formed so as to expand in the region of the slat inner face ( 49 ) of the profile strip ( 40 ) and its adjacent regions of the flank inner faces ( 47 ,  48 ).  
   
   
       10 . Protection profile according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the foil inlay ( 50 ) consists of a plurality of foil inlay elements ( 55 ), which are arranged in the longitudinal direction of the profile strip ( 40 ) at a distance from one another.
