Profiled plastic section for a metal/plastic composite profiled section

A metal/plastic composite profiled section comprising:

• a shear-free profiled plastic section comprising:
• a first profiled element including a first connecting end and a first distal end opposite the first connecting end;
• a first metal component connected to the first profiled element at the first connecting end;
• at least one second profiled element including a second connecting end and a second distal end opposite the first connecting end, the second profiled element being separate from the first profiled element;
• a second metal component opposite the first metal component and connected to the second profiled element at the second connecting end, wherein the first metal component and the second metal components are separated in a width direction (x) and the profiled plastic section spans between the first and second metal components in the width direction (x) such that the first profiled element extends in the width direction (x) towards the second metal component and the second profiled element extends in the width direction (x) towards the first metal component;
• wherein the first profiled element and second profiled element together form a latching system selectively forming a connection between the first profiled element and second profiled element in the width direction (x) and in a height direction (y) orthogonal to the width direction (x), wherein the second distal end of the second profiled element is adjacent to the first connecting end of the first profiled element;
• wherein a portion of the first profiled element between the first connecting end and the first distal end overlaps with a portion of the second profiled element between the second connecting end and the second distal end with the first profiled element and second profiled element in an assembled state, wherein the overlap encompasses more than 40% of an entire width of the profiled plastic section in the width direction (x), the entire width being defined by a distance between a distal most portion of the first connecting end of the first profiled element and a distal most portion of the second connecting end of the second profiled element in the width direction (x) with the first profiled element and second profiled element in the assembled state;
• wherein the connection between the first profiled element and second profiled element is established by moving the first and second profiled elements in the height direction (y) of the profiled plastic section;
• wherein the connection between the first profiled element and second profiled element is configured to permit a free movement of the first profiled element and second profiled element in a longitudinal direction (z) of the profiled plastic section when the first metal component is connected with the first profiled element and the second metal component is connected with the second profiled element;
• and
• wherein only the first profiled element viewed separately is configured to be connected in a shear-resistant manner with the first metal component, and
• wherein only the second profiled element viewed separately is configured to be connected in a shear-resistant manner with the second metal component.
