Abstract

A method for producing a bent extruded profile that includes extruding a first profile bar having a first lateral formation, extruding a second profile bar having a second lateral formation corresponding in a form-fitting manner to the first lateral formation, and inserting the first lateral formation into the second lateral formation so as to connect the first and second profile bars and to create a form-fitting connection restricting relative movement between the first and second profile bars in all directions except a longitudinal direction of the profile bars. The method also includes bending the connected first and second profile bars using a bending process, wherein after bending, the form-fitting connection restricts relative movement between the first and second profile bars in all directions. In addition, an extruded profile including a first profile bar having a first formation on a first longitudinal side and a second profile bar having a second formation on a second longitudinal side. The second profile bar is secured to the first profile bar in a form-fitting connection at the first and second formations with at least one passing gap disposed in a region of the first and second formations. The first and second profile bars are bendable via a bending process to a bent state. The form-fitting connection allows a relative movement between the first and second profile bars in the longitudinal direction prior to bending.
