Finishing profile for a floor covering

Abstract

A finishing profile for a floor covering includes a finishing strip. The finishing strip includes a substrate, and the finishing strip has a top layer on the upper side of the substrate. The top layer has a decorative layer. The finishing profile further has a rail. The main region of the rail is connected to an attachment region of the finishing strip. The attachment region extends vertically on the underside of the substrate. The finishing strip defines a first curved portion. The substrate and the top layer are uniformly curved.

1 . A finishing profile for a floor covering, wherein the profile comprises
 a finishing strip, wherein said finishing strip comprises a substrate and wherein said finishing strip comprises a top layer on the upper side of said substrate, which top layer comprises at least a decorative layer;   a rail, wherein a main region of said rail is connected to an attachment region of said finishing strip, wherein said attachment region extends in the vertical direction on the underside of said substrate;   wherein said finishing strip comprises a first curved portion, wherein said substrate and said top layer are uniformly curved.   
     
     
         2 . The finishing profile according to  claim 1 , wherein said main region comprises two upwardly directed legs, wherein said downwardly directed leg of said attachment region is attached between said two upwardly directed legs of said main region. 
     
     
         3 . The finishing profile according to  claim 1 , wherein said rail comprises at least one clamping region that is in one piece with said main region and extends in the horizontal direction along at least one edge of said main region and wherein said clamping region is configured for clamping a floor panel between said clamping region and said first curved portion. 
     
     
         4 . The finishing profile according to  claim 1 , wherein said finishing strip comprises a first flank region, wherein said first flank region extends in the horizontal direction along a first edge of said attachment region up to said first curved portion. 
     
     
         5 . The finishing profile according to  claim 3 , wherein said finishing strip comprises a second flank region, wherein said second flank region extends in the horizontal direction along an opposite edge of said first edge of said attachment region. 
     
     
         6 . The finishing profile according to  claim 5 , wherein said finishing strip comprises a second curved portion, wherein said substrate and said top layer are uniformly curved and wherein said second curved portion is located at a distal end of said second flank region. 
     
     
         7 . The finishing profile according to  claim 5 , characterized in that said finishing strip comprises at least one nose region, wherein the angle between a flat region on a decorative side of said finishing profile and an upper surface of said nose region is not more than 45° and wherein said nose region is in line with said second curved portion. 
     
     
         8 . The finishing profile according to  claim 7 , wherein said rail comprises a support region, wherein said main region and said support region are in one piece and wherein said support region supports said nose region. 
     
     
         9 . The finishing profile according to  claim 8 , wherein a connection area of the rail between said main region and said support region has a thickness that is less than 15% of the maximum thickness of said support region and/or is less than 1.5 mm. 
     
     
         10 . The finishing profile according to  claim 8 , wherein said second flank region comprises a recess, and in that said support region comprises at least one protruding portion that is sunk in said recess of said second flank region. 
     
     
         11 . The finishing profile according to  claim 8 , wherein said support region comprises at least one notch and wherein said nose region comprises at least one supporting portion, wherein said supporting portion rests on said notch of said support region. 
     
     
         12 . The finishing profile according to  claim 1 , wherein the finishing strip comprises an insert on its underside, wherein the insert is attached to the substrate and wherein said insert comprises at least the attachment region of the finishing strip. 
     
     
         13 . The finishing profile according to  claim 12 , wherein the thickness of the combination of the substrate and the top layer is at most 5.2 mm. 
     
     
         14 . The finishing profile according to  claim 12 , wherein the insert is adhered to the substrate, by a polyurethane adhesive. 
     
     
         15 . The finishing profile according to  claim 12 , wherein the finishing strip comprises a first flank region, wherein said first flank region extends in the horizontal direction along a first edge of said attachment region up to the first curved portion, wherein said finishing strip comprises a second flank region, wherein said second flank region extends in the horizontal direction along an opposite edge of said first edge of said attachment region, wherein the insert comprises a first flange part at a first edge adjacent to the attachment region and a second flange part at a second edge adjacent to the attachment region, wherein the first flange part is part of the first flank region and wherein the second flange part is part of the second flank region. 
     
     
         16 . The finishing profile according to  claim 1 , wherein the combination of substrate and top layer is curved together.
