Claims
1. A composite profile for mounting a suspended or gypsum ceiling, made in the form of an elongated linear product with a constant cross-section, intended for fastening to a supporting surface along the perimeter of a room, characterized in that the profile is formed by connecting at least two components, each of which: (a) is manufactured by the extrusion method with a cross-section that does not exceed the technological limitation of the matrix tool used; (b) is equipped with connecting elements formed directly during the extrusion of this component as an integral part of its cross-section; (c) contains at least one functional element, wherein the functional elements are distributed between the components in such a way that their combination ensures the fastening of the canvas or sheet material of the ceiling;in this case, the components are connected by means of the interaction of connecting elements without mechanical processing of the connection zone, forming a single profile, the cross-section of which when assembled exceeds the technological limitation of the matrix tool.
2. A composite profile according to paragraph 1, characterized in that the connecting elements are made in the form of an elastic protrusion with an undercut on one component and a corresponding recess on the other, the geometry of which ensures self-centering of the components during assembly and their fixation by elastic snapping without the use of fastening hardware.
3. A composite profile according to paragraph 1, characterized in that the connecting elements are made in the form of a guide groove of trapezoidal cross-section, expanding in depth on one component, and a mating trapezoidal protrusion on the other, the geometry of which ensures self-centering of the components and their fixation by longitudinal sliding without the use of fastening hardware.
