9. A support system for a device used in building support structures for tubing and cableways, the device comprising a hollow, closed, three-sided profile that is elongated in a length direction and is triangular in a cross direction that is perpendicular to the length direction, the profile having elongated first and second sides that are set at a right angle with respect to each other in the cross direction, each of the first and second sides having a bolt hole that is longer in the length direction than in the cross direction, and an elongated third side that is connected to the first and second elongated sides and has a bolt opening that is sized larger than the bolt holes of the first and second sides, wherein the bolt opening is sized, located and aligned along the third side with respect to the bolt holes which are located in and along the first and second sides to define a straight-line fixation path extending completely through the bolt opening and the bolt hole of at least one of the first and second sides, and extending perpendicularly to the at least one of the first and second sides and at an acute angle relative to the third side, whereby the straight-line fixation path is aligned with a fixation hole formed in a building support structure and coincides with a longitudinal axis of a bolt introduced through the bolt opening and received through the bolt hole of at least one of the first and second sides for fixing the profile to the fixation hole in the building support structure.

Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

(1) In the following is described an example of a preferred embodiment illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein:

(2) FIG. 1 shows a side view of a profile according to the invention where the profile is used as a column and connected to a cable tray;

(3) FIG. 2 shows the profile in FIG. 1 in perspective;

(4) FIG. 3 shows a profile in an alternative embodiment in perspective; and

(5) FIG. 4 shows a profile in a further embodiment in perspective.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

(6) In the drawings the reference numeral 1 indicates a long, hollow, three-sided profile device in the form of a plate profile wherein a number of boltholes 2 and cut-outs for bolt openings 4 are made by means of punching before the profile is given its shape by rolling.

(7) The profile is as mentioned a three-sided profile comprising a first side 6, a second side 8 and a third side 10, the first side 6 and the second side 8 being provided with boltholes 2 having a rectangular cross-section where the boltholes are in line in the longitudinal direction of the profile.

(8) The bolt openings 4 are arranged in line in the third side 10 of the profile 1 and each bolt opening 4 corresponds to a bolthole 2 in each of the sides 6 and 8.

(9) A plate joint 12 runs along the third side 10 and is cut by the bolt openings 4, which may be advantageous for technical production reasons.

(10) In FIG. 1 the profile is used as a column and connected to the side member 16 of a cable ladder 14 by means of bolts 18, washers 20 and nuts 22.

(11) In FIG. 2 is shown a section of the profile 2 where a bolt 18 is being displaced in through the bolt opening 4 in the third side 10 and further into one of the boltholes 2 in the first side 6.

(12) In FIG. 3 the profile 1 is shown in an alternative somewhat larger embodiment wherein two rows of boltholes 2 are arranged in the first side 6 and the second side 8.

(13) The bolt opening 4 is advantageously larger than the head of the bolt 18 and sufficiently large to a not shown operators fingers to reach in to the bolt 18.

(14) In FIG. 4 the profile 1 is shown in a further embodiment wherein also two rows of bolt openings 4 are arranged in the third side 10 to further improve access. In FIG. 4 the bolt openings are given a more rectangular shape with rounded corners.
