Abstract:
1. In combination: a profile rail having a face and formed with a longitudinally extending channel open at the face and with longitudinally extending stabilizing formations on the face flanking the channel, the channel having confronting ribbed flanks; a stabilizing element having a face engageable with the face of the rail and formed with a pair of stabilizing formations fittable with the stabilizing formations of the rail and with a throughgoing hole between the respective stabilizing formations and aligned with the channel when the element stabilizing formations are fitted with the rail stabilizing formations, the formations of one of the faces being a pair of ridges projecting from the one face and the formations of the other of the faces being generally complementary grooves opening at the other face, a transverse spacing between the formations of the element being slightly smaller than a transverse spacing between the formations of the rail and the rail being limitedly elastically deformable so that when the formations of the element are fitted to the formations of the rail the flanks of the channel are pressed together; and a screw fittable through the hole and having a screwthread engageable with the flanks of the channel, whereby the screw can clamp the element to the face of the rail.
