Abstract:
A combination of a connecting element and two oblong profiled parts, the profiled parts being arranged adjacent to one another for connection such that longitudinal axes of the profiled parts enclose an angle (&agr;), wherein retaining edges are arranged on two exterior sides of the connecting element enclosing the angle (&agr;) so as to project laterally transversely to a plane containing the angle (&agr;) and are in each case connected by a deformable profiled retaining web, wherein said retaining edges interact with corresponding receiving devices on the exterior sides of the profiled parts facing the connecting element such that, when the retaining webs are undeformed, the connecting element can be joined, by its retaining edges between the receiving devices, to the exterior sides of the profiled parts, wherein by deforming the retaining webs, their profile is stretched transversely to the plane containing the angle (&agr;), laterally toward the outside, and the retaining edges, which move away from one another in this process, reach laterally behind undercuts of the receiving devices, wherein the exterior sides of the connecting element, which enclose the angle (&agr;), are connected with one another on their back side by two parallel extending walls, each of said two parallel extending walls being arranged along a transition area between at least one of the retaining webs and at least one of the retaining edges.
