Abstract:
The present invention relates to a profiled rail ( 2 ) for fastening to a formwork ( 5 ) for at least partially embedding in concrete. The profiled rail ( 2 ) is formed in a substantially C-shaped manner along a profiled rail longitudinal axis, wherein a plurality of holes ( 24 ) are formed in the rail back ( 21 ). Plugs ( 1 ) are inserted into some of the holes ( 24 ), wherein each plug ( 1 ) has a cap section ( 12 ) and an adjoining through section ( 10 ). The through section ( 10 ) fits through the respective hole wherein the cap section butts against the rail back ( 21 ). The plug ( 1 ) has a feed-through region ( 13 ) through which an elongate connecting element ( 4 ) can be pieced being guided by the feed-through region ( 13 ). The connecting element ( 4 ) is preferably a nail or a screw and connects the plug ( 1 ) to the formwork ( 5 ) holding the profiled rail on the formwork ( 5 ).

Claim (Index 12):
A method for mounting a profiled rail on formwork, for casting with concrete, and for subsequent removal of the formwork from the profiled rail, comprising the following steps:\n a) providing the profiled rail, which is formed in a substantially C-shaped manner along a profiled rail longitudinal axis having a rail back with two opposing flanks which protrude at an angle laterally therefrom, wherein the flanks each have at edges opposing the rail back wing sections angled towards each other, wherein each wing section has an outer edge which is connected to the respective flank and an inner edge, so that the two inner edges which run towards each other form a parallel rail slit and the two wing sections form a lowest bottom plane to bear against the formwork by the lowest bottom plane, wherein a first number of holes, each having a hole cross-section, is formed in the rail back; b) inserting a second number of plugs into the holes, wherein each plug has, along a central plug longitudinal axis, a cap section and an adjoining through section, wherein the cap section has a first end face and a first outer cross-section which is greater than the hole cross-section so that the cap section butts against and is held back from the rail back when the through section is inserted into the respective hole, wherein the through section has a second end face which is opposite the first end face and has a second outer cross-section which can be fed through the respective hole or pressed therein until the cap section butts against the rail back; wherein each plug has, in the direction of the plug longitudinal axis, a feed-through region for an elongate connecting element, said feed-through region being adapted to be manually pierceable by the connecting element and to guide the connecting element; c) placing the profiled rail with the lowest bottom plane on the formwork; d) inserting the connecting element, which extends from the rail back at least to the formwork, through the feed-through region into the plug to the formwork and connecting the profiled rail to the formwork by e) embedding the profiled rail up to the formwork in concrete or cement and waiting until the concrete or cement has solidified; f) pulling the formwork off the profiled rail; and g) pulling the connecting elements out of the profiled rail through the rail slit with a predetermined second pulling force, h) by means of the predetermined second pulling force: either deforming and opening the plug around the feed-through region so far that a head of the connecting element is pulled through the plug; or breaking a predetermined pull linkage between an inner region having the connecting element and an outer region of the through section of the plug around it, wherein the inner region together with the connecting element is pulled out of the rail slit.
