Gemäß einer Ausgestaltung der vorliegenden Erfindung ist an der Außenseite des Basisschenkels zumindest eine hinterschnittene Aussparung vorgesehen. Auch in dieser hinterschnittenen Aussparung kann sich ein Kleber zur Festlegung des Basisschenkels verklammern. Ferner kann in der Aussparung ein Verbindungselement angeordnet werden, um benachbarte Profile miteinander zu verbinden.According to one embodiment of the present invention, at least one undercut recess is provided on the outside of the base leg. Also in this undercut recess, an adhesive can clamp for fixing the base leg. Further, in the recess, a connecting element can be arranged to connect adjacent profiles together.

Alternativ kann auch der Basisschenkel an seiner Außenseite mit einem Vlies oder einem Gewebe versehen sein.Alternatively, the base leg can be provided on its outside with a fleece or a fabric.

An dem freien Ende des Befestigungsschenkels ist bevorzugt ein in Richtung des Zierschenkels vorstehender Begrenzungsschenkel vorgesehen. Ein derartiger Begrenzungsschenkel dient in erster Linie zur Begrenzung benachbart angeordneter Fliesen oder Platten.At the free end of the fastening leg, a limiting limb projecting in the direction of the ornamental limb is preferably provided. Such a limiting leg is primarily used to limit adjacently arranged tiles or plates.

Gemäß einer Ausgestaltung der vorliegenden Erfindung schließt sich an den Begrenzungsschenkel ein in Richtung des Basisschenkels vorstehender Halteschenkel an, der beabstandet zum Zierschenkel angeordnet ist. Der Halteschenkel dient bei dieser Ausgestaltung zur Festlegung der Streuscheibenabdeckung an dem Profil, wie es nachfolgend unter Bezugnahme auf das Ausführungsbeispiel noch näher erläutert ist.According to one embodiment of the present invention adjoins the limiting leg on a protruding in the direction of the base leg holding leg, which is arranged at a distance from the ornamental leg.
