Profile

Abstract

A profile formed of a strip-shaped rolling stock and including at least one thickness-reduced section ( 16 ) having a thickness (D) that is smaller than the initial material thickness (W) of the rolling stock, at least one bend ( 17; 18 ), and at least one thickened region ( 21, 22 ) provided in a region of the at least one bend ( 17, 18 ) and having a material thickness (H) greater than the initial material thickness (W) of the rolling stock the profile ( 11 ) is formed of.

1 . A profile formed of a strip-shaped rolling stock having an initial material thickness (W), comprising at least one thickness-reduced section ( 16 ) having a thickness (D) that is smaller than the initial material thickness (W) of the rolling stock; at least one bend ( 17 ;  18 ); and at least one thickened region ( 21 ,  22 ) provided in a region of the at least one bend ( 17 ,  18 ) and having a material thickness (H) greater than the initial material thickness (W) of the rolling stock the profile ( 11 ) is formed of. 
   
   
       2 . A profile according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least one thickened region ( 21 ,  22 ) is located adjacent to the at least one bend ( 18 ). 
   
   
       3 . A profile according to  claim 1 , comprising side walls ( 12 ) enclosing, at least partially, a hollow space ( 19 ), and wherein the at least one thickened region ( 21 ,  22 ) is located adjacent to the hollow space ( 19 ). 
   
   
       4 . A profile according to  claim 1 , wherein the material thickness (H) of the at least one thickened region ( 21 ,  22 ) corresponds to 1.1-2 times of the initial material thickness (W) of the rolling stock the profile ( 11 ) is formed of. 
   
   
       5 . A profile according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least one thickened region ( 21 ,  22 ) has a material width (B) in a direction transverse to a longitudinal axis ( 15 ) of the profile ( 11 ) and corresponding to 1.0-5.0 times of the initial material width (W) of the rolling stock the profile ( 11 ) is formed of.
