Method of assembly of extruded profiles and the extruded profiles therefor

Abstract

Extruded profiles for use in assembling panels comprises a rigid peripheral frame of extruded material which serves as a base structure onto which are put flat surfacing materials such as glass, metal, wood or any of a variety of composite materials normally used for making cabinetry.

1 . Extruded profiles for use in assembling panels comprising: 
 base elements;    said base elements used in combination to create profiles;    said profiles having slits and slots;    said slots being used in combination with threaded mechanical fasteners.    
   
   
       2 . Extruded profiles for use in assembling panels as in  claim 1  wherein: 
 said base elements comprised of a first, second, third, and fourth element wherein a first element has a flat surface and a pair of hooks;    a second element has an edge, channels, and a profile fin;    a third element has a hookable groove, a complementary notch, channels and clips;    a fourth element has a little hook, and a trim face.    
   
   
       3 . Extruded profiles for use in assembling panels as in  claim 1  wherein: 
 said base elements comprised of a first, second, third, and fourth element wherein a first element has a flat surface and a pair of hooks;    a second element has an edge, channels, and a profile fin;    a third element has a hookable groove, channels and clips;    a fourth element has a little hook, and a trim face.    
   
   
       4 . Extruded profiles for use in assembling panels as in  claim 3  having the following method of assembly: 
 said profiles combined to create a panel by having four profiles intersecting in order to form a frame having four sides;    said intersection creating a corner wherein two intersecting profiles are being partially assembled by being loosely connected by way of said threaded mechanical fasteners moving within the range allowed by said slots and spacing block used for setting a relative distance between said profiles;    inserting a first fascia and then moving said profiles so as to completely encase said fascia within said slits;    tightening said threaded mechanical fasteners so as to secure said frame;    inserting a second fascia by bending said second fascia convexedly and then relaxing said second fascia so that the edges along its length can slide into said slits of said second element and;    said second fascia being slid along its length so that its first wide side can be fitted into yet another slit;    a second wide side having a gap filled in by said fourth element engaging said third element by way of said fourth element's said little hook engaging said complementary notch of said third element.    
   
   
       5 . Extruded profiles for use in assembling panels as in  claim 4  wherein: 
 the method further includes inserting a spacer trim between said fourth element and said edge.    
   
   
       6 . Extruded profiles for use in assembling panels as in  claim 4  wherein: 
 a profile using a pane of glass instead of fascia has said first elements on either sides acting as a framing device, over a profile using a combination of said second and third elements;    a seal inserted into said third element to interface between said pane of glass and said third element.    
   
   
       7 . Extruded profiles for use in assembling panels as in  claim 6  wherein: 
 sealing gaskets are inserted into said channels.    
   
   
       8 . Extruded profiles for use in assembling panels as in  claim 3  further comprised of: 
 a first and second fascia.    
   
   
       9 . Extruded profiles for use in assembling panels as in  claim 3  further comprised of: 
 a first fascia and a solid core.    
   
   
       10 . Extruded profiles for use in assembling panels as in  claim 3  further comprised of: 
 a first and second fascia, and a solid core.    
   
   
       11 . Extruded profiles for use in assembling panels as in  claim 3  further comprised of: 
 a first fascia, a solid core and hinges.    
   
   
       12 . Extruded profiles for use in assembling panels as in  claim 3  further comprised of: 
 a first and second fascia, a solid core and hinges.    
   
   
       13 . Extruded profiles for use in assembling panels as in  claim 3  further comprised of: 
 a first and second fascia, and hinges.    
   
   
       14 . Extruded profiles for use in assembling panels as in  claim 3  further comprised of: 
 a first fascia, a solid core, hinges, and a handle.    
   
   
       15 . Extruded profiles for use in assembling panels as in  claim 3  further comprised of: 
 a first and second fascia, a solid core, hinges, and a handle.    
   
   
       16 . Extruded profiles for use in assembling panels as in  claim 3  further comprised of: 
 a first and second fascia, hinges, and a handle.    
   
   
       17 . Extruded profiles for use in assembling panels comprising: 
 base elements;    said base elements used in combination to create profiles;    said profiles having slits and slots;    said slots being used in combination with threaded mechanical fasteners,    said base elements comprised of a first, second, third, and fourth element wherein said first element has a flat surface and a pair of hooks;    said second element has an edge, channels, and a profile fin;    said third element has a hookable groove, channels and clips;    said fourth element has a hook, and a trim face;    said profiles combined to create a panel by having four profiles intersecting in order to form a frame having four sides;    an intersection creating a corner wherein two intersecting profiles are being partially assembled by being loosely connected by way of said threaded mechanical fasteners moving within a range allowed by said slots and a spacing block used for setting a relative distance between said profiles;    a first inserted fascia and then said profiles moved so as to completely encase said first fascia within said slits;    said threaded mechanical fasteners tightened so as to secure said frame;    a second fascia inserted by bending said second fascia convexedly and then relaxing said second fascia so that the edges along its length can slide into said slits of said second element and;    said second fascia slid along its length so that its first wide side can be fitted into one of said slits;    a wide side having a gap filled in by said fourth element engaging said third element by way of said fourth element's said hook engaging a complementary notch of said third element.
