Modifiable profile system

Modifiable profile system for constructing a wall, comprising:

• a first construction profile and a second construction profile, the first construction profile being displaceable telescopically with respect to the second construction profile, and the second construction profile being displaceable telescopically with respect to the first construction profile;
• and
• at least one clamp for fixing the first construction profile in a fixed position relative to the second construction profile, the at least one clamp comprising a handle;
• wherein the handle is hingeable, with respect to the first construction profile, about a hinge axis,
• wherein the hinge axis is perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the first construction profile and the second construction profile,
• wherein the at least one clamp is moveable between an open position, a closed position, and an intermediate engagement position between the open position and the closed position,
• wherein, when the at least one clamp is in the open position, the first construction profile is moveable with respect to the second construction profile,
• wherein, when the at least one clamp is in the closed position, the at least one clamp exerts a perpendicular force on the first and second construction profiles in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, increasing friction force between the first and second construction profiles so that the first construction profile is in the fixed position relative to the second construction profile,
• wherein, when the at least one clamp is in the intermediate engagement position, the at least one clamp engages with the second construction profile at a first side of the hinge axis, where the handle extends, and as the at least one clamp moves from the intermediate engagement position to the closed position, the at least one clamp physically forces the first construction profile longitudinally apart from the second construction profile,
• wherein, when the at least one clamp is in the closed position, the at least one clamp engages the second construction profile at a second side of the hinge axis opposite where the handle extends, and
• wherein, when the at least one clamp moves from the intermediate engagement position to the closed position and vice versa, at least one portion of the at least one clamp and/or at least one of the first construction profile or the second construction profile is elastically deformed, and wherein in the closed position, the elastic deformation is released.

Modifiable profile system for constructing a wall, comprising:

• a first construction profile;
• a second construction profile;
• and
• a tension clamp,
• wherein the first construction profile and the second construction profile are moveable between (i) an open position, in which the first construction profile and the second construction profile are displaceable telescopically with respect to each other, and (ii) a closed position, in which the tension clamp engages with the second construction profile so that the first construction profile and the second construction profile are fixed with respect to each other,
• wherein the tension clamp is hingeable with respect to the first construction profile during the movement from the open position to the closed position,
• wherein, during the movement, the tension clamp engages with the second construction profile at an engagement position,
• wherein the tension clamp exerts a friction force on the second construction profile between the engagement position and the closed position to force the first construction profile and the second construction profile telescopically apart in a longitudinal direction,
• wherein the tension clamp comprises a first arm physically connected to a second arm, wherein the first arm and the second arm are disposed relative to each other at an angle that is at least 90 degrees,
• wherein the second arm engages with the second construction profile at the engagement position, continues engaging with the second construction profile as the tension clamp moves from the engagement position to the closed position, and remains engaged with the construction profile in the closed position,
• wherein the second arm exerts the friction force, and
• wherein the tension clamp exerts a friction force on the second construction profile between the closed position and the engagement position to force the first construction profile and the second construction profile telescopically together in the longitudinal direction.
