Abstract

The invention relates to a joint filling profile for forming a joint sealing between floor panels (3, 4), with a vertical leg (6) that projects into the joint (2) and a profile body (7) formed from a joint sealing compound (9) and situated in a joint enlargement (5), whereby the vertical leg (6) and the profile body (7) are separated from each other by intercalating a separating material (8).

Claims

1. A joint filling profile for forming a joint sealing between floor panels comprising:

a vertical leg that projects into the joint; and

a profile body formed from a joint sealing compound and extending in a joint enlargement, wherein the vertical leg and the profile body are separated from each other by intercalating a separating material.

2. The joint filling profile according to claim 1, wherein the profile body is situated in a first portion adjacent to the joint by intercalating a separating material on the corresponding floor panel without any connection.

3. The joint filling profile according to claim 2, wherein the profile body has a first vertical web penetrating into a groove of the corresponding floor panel in a second portion adjacent to the first portion.

4. The joint filling profile according to claim 3, wherein the profile body has a second vertical web spaced from the first vertical web in the second portion, this second vertical web penetrating into a groove of the corresponding floor panel.

5. The joint filling profile according to claim 4, both vertical webs limit the second portion.

6. The joint filling profile according to claim 1, wherein a multitude of reinforcements that are placed the one after the other in the longitudinal direction of the joint are embedded into the profile body.

7. The joint filling profile according to claim 6, wherein a reinforcement has a guiding body and a reinforcing element placed slidable relatively thereto.

8. The joint filling profile according to claim 7, wherein the guiding body is a bush.

9. The joint filling profile according to claim 7, wherein the reinforcing element is a rod.

10. The joint filling profile according to claim 7, wherein the rod is accommodated by being longitudinally displaceable by the bush, whereby the bush has a longitudinal extension that exceeds the longitudinal extension of the rod.

11. The joint filling profile according to claim 7, wherein the reinforcement bears on the floor panels by intercalating a spacer.

12. The joint filling profile according to claim 1, wherein the profile body is configured axially symmetric and has two first portions adjacent to the joint as well as two second portions, whereby a second portion respectively follows the first portions.

13. The joint filling profile according to claim 1, wherein the separating material extends in the area of the joint and of the two first portions adjacent to the joint.

14. The joint filling profile according to one of the preceding claim 6, wherein the reinforcement extends into the second portions.
