Patent ID: 8091847

Claim:
A connectable profiled mounting rail, that has longitudinal webs ( 3 ) for connecting elements to be mounted, wherein the basic periphery of the cross-section of the mounting rail has a discontinuous essentially rectangular envelope line ( 4 ), wherein on one side a connecting profile ( 5 ) for fastening the profiled mounting rail ( 1 ) to a substrate is provided, wherein on the opposite situated side form fitting connecting profiles ( 6 , 7 ) are so constructed that a second profiled mounting rail ( 2 ) having a profile with the same cross-section and rotated by 180° can be joined with the first profiled mounting rail ( 1 ) in a form-locked manner by sliding the connecting profiles ( 6 , 7 ) of the first mounting rail ( 1 ) into the form fitting connecting profiles ( 6 , 7 ) of the second mounting rail ( 2 ), and wherein the form fitting profiles ( 6 , 7 ) have the same height (h) above the lateral surface line ( 4 . 1 ), and the form fitting profiles ( 6 , 7 ) alternate between a web-engaging profile ( 6 ) and a web ( 7 ).
