## Abstract

The present invention relates to a removable profile structure, primarily for sliding panels, comprising a concealed support (2) with an inverted “U” shape which comprises at least two rectangular sections (3) and a “W” shaped detachable base (1) able to receive a glass (4). This solution, in which the concealed support (2) and the detachable base (1) are independent, allows the removal of the sliding panel without interfering with the state of the pavement coating.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A removable profile structure for sliding panels, comprising at least one detachable base and a concealed support independent and able to cooperate with one another, characterized in that:
the concealed support comprises a protuberance designed to support the weight of the detachable base, said concealed support comprising at least two recesses incorporating two substantially rectangular sections, said two recesses being formed in a lowermost portion of the concealed support, wherein said protuberance comprises two flat tapered surfaces on opposite sides thereof;
the detachable base having a W-shape, said W-shape comprising at least two flat contact surfaces configured to be fit to the flat tapered surfaces of the protuberance, the fit being done by means of friction and;
when joined together the contact surfaces promote a gradual increase in stability according to a weight and a size of a panel.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The removable profile structure according to claim 1, wherein the detachable base supports glass elements, characterized in that the detachable base has a configuration that, upon placement of the glass elements, comprises at least four bonding areas between said detachable base and the glass elements.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The removable profile structure according to claim 1, characterized in that a slope of the fit between the protuberance and the detachable base is between 79° and 81°.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The removable profile structure according to claim 1, characterized in that the rectangular sections act as damping factor for the removable profile structure.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The removable profile structure according to claim 1, characterized in that the concealed support allows the placing of a pavement on part of a surface of the concealed support.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The removable profile structure according to claim 1, characterized in that a connection between the concealed support and the fit of the detachable base is made solely by friction, so that separation between the detachable base and the concealed support can be performed easily.
