A rail assembly is provided, suitable for embedding in concrete, including a profile rail having a rail body, wherein the rail body has a first lateral wall, a second lateral wall, a first rail lip protruding from the first lateral wall, and a second rail lip protruding from the second lateral wall. The rail assembly has a reinforcing element with a force-absorbing body, wherein the force-absorbing body is positioned in front of the first lateral wall of the profile rail for contacting the first lateral wall of the profile rail with the force-absorbing body. A construction body having a concrete element, in which a rail assembly of this type is embedded is also provided, as is a method.

Profile rail with reinforcing element

A profiled rail assembly for casting into concrete. The profiled rail assembly includes a profiled rail including a rail body having a rail slot extending in the direction of a longitudinal axis of the profiled rail, and a reinforcing body including a head element and at least one tension element protruding from the head element, the head element opposite the at least one tension element having a head element major face defining a contact surface for a formwork element. The at least one tension element is connected to the profiled rail.

Structure having edge reinforcement on profiled rail

A rail assembly is provided, suitable for embedding in concrete, including a profile rail having a rail body, wherein the rail body has a first lateral wall, a second lateral wall, a first rail lip protruding from the first lateral wall, and a second rail lip protruding from the second lateral wall. The rail assembly has a reinforcing element with a force-absorbing body, wherein the force-absorbing body is positioned in front of the first lateral wall of the profile rail for contacting the first lateral wall of the profile rail with the force-absorbing body. A construction body having a concrete element, in which a rail assembly of this type is embedded is also provided.

An end cap for a profile rail includes a connector for connecting the end cap to the profile rail and a fastening leg, where the fastening leg defines an opening and where a fastening pin is guidable through the opening to mount the profile rail. The opening has a cross-sectional constriction and the fastening pin is holdable in the opening by the cross-sectional constriction.

Profile rail end cap with nail holder

A structure is provided, including a concrete body having a first surface and having a second surface arranged at an angle to the first surface; a profiled rail embedded in the concrete body, the profiled rail having a rail body having a rail slot extending in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the profiled rail, and the profiled rail emerging on the first surface of the concrete body; and a reinforcing body, which emerges on the second surface of the concrete body and which overlaps with the rail body, with regard to the direction of the longitudinal axis of the profiled rail, at least in some regions. A profiled rail assembly for such a structure is also provided.
