Patent ID: 7527456

Claim:
A connecting profiled element with a consistent cross-section for attaching sheet piles to carrier elements, such as I-beams, in order to construct a combination sheet pile wall comprised of carrier elements and sheet piles inserted between two respective carrier elements, wherein the connecting profiled element comprises a central strip that separates two opposite attachment profiled elements, each with one jaw, from each other, and respectively form parts of both attachment profiled elements, wherein the one attachment profiled element is designed as a plug-in profiled element for the carrier element and the other attachment profiled element as a receiving profiled element for an interlock of a sheet pile to be attached, and the receiving profiled element exhibits on each side of the central strip end sections, of which at least one end section is designed as a hook strip, the improvement wherein the central strip exhibits on the side of the receiving profiled element a central section with a straight flat inner wall, which is followed on one side by a first short end section that protrudes at an angle of about 90° from the central section and is connected to it through a transition section, whose inner wall describes in its cross-section a quarter circle, and wherein on the other side of the flat central section the hook strip is located as a second end section, pointing in the same direction as the first end section, with said hook strip being formed by a first strip section with an essentially semi-circular cross-section, and adjacent to that is a second essentially straight strip section, which is bent such that it points to the central section of the central strip.
