Abstract
The profiled rail () is designed for a suspension device having carriers () which can be plugged into the profiled rail () and on which articles can be suspended or set down. The profiled rail () is fastened horizontally on a carrying structure () and has a passage () which extends from a front entry point and into which the carriers () can be plugged. Arranged within the profiled rail () is a conductor rail () with current conductors () which is supplied with electricity via a power supply (), the current conductors being accessible from the passage () for the purpose of tapping electricity for supplying a consuming unit () which can be connected via a feed line (). The current conductors () can be tapped in an uninterrupted manner over their entire axial extent by means of an adapter () which can be pushed into the passage (), can be positioned along the profiled rail () and can be connected and disconnected. The electrification of the profiled rail () gives rise to extended design possibilities for furniture, shop and trade-fair construction, and for outfitting systems, as a result of the integration of electric current.
