Abstract:
1. An improved metallic profile used in the assembly of cabinets, enclosures, boxes or panel boards ( 100 ), of an indoor or outdoor type, said cabinets being in the form of a metallic box having side closures ( 101 ), including one or more tilting doors ( 102 ), such closures, including the doors, being made of substantially thin metallic sheets, an assembly of the metallic profiles ( 104 ) forming a structure ( 103 ) which, on an outside, support the closures and accessories, while on an inside, has struts for the assembly of electric and electronic components and devices, the metallic profile ( 104 ) comprising a cross section formed from a folded metallic sheet with a geometry defined by a central core in a tubular shape with a quadrangular section ( 105 ), a first vertex ( 106 ) oriented to the inside of the cabinet ( 100 ), an opposite first vertex ( 107 ) oriented to the outside of the cabinet ( 100 ), the two first vertexes formed by single walls, two second vertexes ( 108 , 109 ) being formed at joints where the sheet is folded to form the two first vertexes ( 106 , 107 ), from this point on, double walls ( 110 ) extend in a coplanar position in relation to walls ( 106 a , 106 b ) adjacent to the first vertex ( 106 ), forming opposite rims ( 111 a , 111 b ), whose ends are perpendicularly folded for forming short ends ( 112 , 113 ) that are grooved ( 114 ) and parallel to but distanced away from walls ( 107 a , 107 b ) adjacent to the opposite first vertex ( 107 ), one wall ( 107 a ) of the walls adjacent to the opposite first vertex ( 107 ) includes a projection perpendicularly oriented to the outside for forming a perpendicular rim ( 115 ), the projection formed by a first end of the metallic sheet extended along the perpendicular orientation of the projection, the first end received within a U-shaped bend in a second end of the metallic sheet, the jointed ends forming the perpendicular rim ( 115 ), the perpendicular rim having openings ( 117 ) for fixing components thereto.
