C-Shape Profile and Partition Comprising a C-Shaped Profile

Abstract

A C-shaped sheet metal profile for partitions that are planked on both sides is provided. The C-shaped profile is made up of two leg sections and a bottom section that interconnects the leg sections. At least one of the leg sections encloses an opening angle exceeding 90° along with the bottom section in the unstressed state of the C-shaped profile.

1 - 12 . (canceled) 
     
     
         13 . A C-shaped sheet metal profile for partitions planked on both sides comprising:
 a first leg section, a second leg section and a bottom section connecting the first and second leg section,   the first leg section forming an opening angle with the bottom section greater than 90° in an unloaded state of the C-shaped profile.   
     
     
         14 . The C-shaped profile as recited in  claim 13 ,
 wherein the opening angle between the first leg section and the bottom section is greater than or equal to 91°.   
     
     
         15 . The C-shaped profile as recited in  claim 13 ,
 wherein the opening angle between the first leg section and the bottom section is greater than or equal to 92°.   
     
     
         16 . The C-shaped profile as recited in  claim 13 ,
 wherein the opening angle between the first leg section and the bottom section is less than or equal to 95°.   
     
     
         17 . The C-shaped profile as recited in  claim 13 ,
 wherein the opening angle between the first leg section and the bottom section is less than or equal to 94°.   
     
     
         18 . The C-shaped profile as recited in  claim 13 ,
 wherein the opening angle between the first leg section and the bottom section is between 92.5° and 93.5° in the unloaded state of the C-shaped profile.   
     
     
         19 . The C-shaped profile as recited in  claim 13 ,
 wherein the opening angle between the first leg section and the bottom section is 93° in the unloaded state of the C-shaped profile.   
     
     
         20 . The C-shaped profile as recited in  claim 13 ,
 wherein the first and second leg sections are not parallel with respect to one another and form an angle between 2° and 10° in the unloaded state of the C-shaped profile.   
     
     
         21 . The C-shaped profile as recited in  claim 13 ,
 wherein the first and second leg sections are not parallel with respect to one another and form an angle between 4° and 8° in the unloaded state of the C-shaped profile.   
     
     
         22 . The C-shaped profile as recited in  claim 13 ,
 wherein the first and second leg sections and the bottom section are made from a single piece of sheet metal.   
     
     
         23 . The C-shaped profile as recited in  claim 13 ,
 wherein the first and second leg sections and the bottom section are elastically or elastically and plastically deformable relative to one another in such a way that the first and second leg sections in the installed state are perpendicular to the bottom section.   
     
     
         24 . The C-shaped profile as recited in  claim 13 ,
 wherein at least the first or second leg section has beads projecting outward.   
     
     
         25 . The C-shaped profile as recited in  claim 13 ,
 wherein the beads run in a longitudinal direction of the C-shaped profile and extend over an entire length of the C-shaped profile.   
     
     
         26 . The C-shaped profile as recited in  claim 13 ,
 wherein the sheet metal of the C-shaped profile has knurling on at least a part of a surface of the sheet metal.   
     
     
         27 . The C-shaped profile as recited in  claim 13 ,
 wherein one of the first and second leg sections and the bottom section is made of sheet metal, a thickness of the sheet metal being between 0.3 mm and 3 mm.   
     
     
         28 . The C-shaped profile as recited in  claim 27 ,
 wherein the thickness of the sheet metal is between 0.4 mm to 0.6 mm.   
     
     
         29 . A partition comprising a C-shaped profile as recited in  claim 13 .
