Sheet metal section for dry construction

Abstract

The invention relates to a sheet metal section for dry construction, including two limb portions and a base portion that connects said limb portions. According to the invention, at least one of the limb portions is equipped with a bent supporting edge that extends in the longitudinal direction of the section, the bent supporting edge being provided with a reinforcement strip. The section is characterised in that the reinforcement strip extends over the entire width of the bent supporting edge.

       17 . A sheet metal section for dry construction, comprising:
 two leg sections;   a base section connecting the leg sections, a supporting edge that is bent and extends in a longitudinal direction of the leg section being provided on at least one of the leg sections; and   a reinforcing strip provided on the bent supporting edge, the reinforcing strip extending over an entire width of the bent supporting edge.   
   
   
       18 . The section as recited in  claim 17 , wherein the reinforcing strip and/or the bent supporting edge have/has plastic material deformations for fastening the reinforcing strip to the bent supporting edge. 
   
   
       19 . The section as recited in  claim 18 , wherein a plurality of local plastic material deformations is provided. 
   
   
       20 . The section as recited in  claim 18 , wherein the plastic material deformations have an elongated shape and extend in particular in the longitudinal direction of the reinforcing strip. 
   
   
       21 . The section as recited in  claim 18 , wherein the plastic material deformations are created through joining-by-forming of the supporting edge and the reinforcing strip. 
   
   
       22 . The section as recited in  claim 21 , wherein the plastic material deformations are created by clinching. 
   
   
       23 . The section as recited in  claim 17 , wherein the reinforcing strip is connected to the supporting edge by adhesive bonding. 
   
   
       24 . The section as recited in  claim 17 , wherein the reinforcing strip is a bent-back part of the leg section. 
   
   
       25 . The section as recited in  claim 17 , wherein the reinforcing strip is a separate element. 
   
   
       26 . The section as recited in  claim 25 , wherein the separate element is a sheet metal strip. 
   
   
       27 . The section as recited in  claim 17 , wherein the reinforcing strip extends along the supporting edge. 
   
   
       28 . The section as recited in  claim 27 , wherein the reinforcing strip extends over an entire length of the supporting edge. 
   
   
       29 . The section as recited in  claim 17 , wherein the reinforcing strip is situated on a side of the supporting edge facing the base section. 
   
   
       30 . The section as recited in  claim 17 , wherein the supporting edge has a curvature in the transverse direction of the supporting edge. 
   
   
       31 . The section as recited in  claim 30 , wherein the curvature is designed in such a way that the supporting edge is convex on the side facing away from the base section and/or is concave on the side facing the base section. 
   
   
       32 . The section as recited in  claim 28 , wherein the reinforcing strip has a first area for contacting the supporting edge and has a second area for contacting the leg section. 
   
   
       33 . The section as recited in  claim 32 , wherein the first and second areas are joined together by a bending line. 
   
   
       34 . The section as recited in  claim 33 , wherein the first area extends parallel to the supporting edge and the second area extends parallel to the leg section. 
   
   
       35 . The section as recited in  claim 17 , wherein the section is designed as a C section.
