A corner arrangement for frame sections for securing together two frame sections (1, 2) located at an angle with respect to each other by means of a comer piece (3) comprising two legs (3a, 3b) located at a desired angle with respect to each other, the legs being arranged to be received by axial grooves (5) in the frame sections (1, 2) and both being equipped with at least one locking screw (4) in order to lock the corner piece (3) with respect to the frame sections. A point (6) of the locking screw (4) is of the shape of a cone or a truncated cone, and a counter surface (8) of the 10 locking screw in the frame section (1, 2) is correspondingly inclined with respect to the shape of the point of the locking screw such that the screw (4) subjects the profile (1, 2) to a force which forces the profile in the direction of the inner corner defined by the profiles therebetween.
A frame assembly comprising two frame sections (1, 2) located at an angle with respect to each other, said frame sections each having a respective abutment surface for positioning adjacent the abutment surface of the other frame section, a corner arrangement for securing the frame sections together, said corner arrangement including a corner piece (3) having two legs (3a, 3b) located on angle to each other, said frame sections (1, 2) each having a longitudinal groove (5) for receiving a respective leg (3a, 3b) of the corner piece (3), said corner piece legs (3a, 3b) each having at least one locking screw (4) for locking the corner piece (3) to the frame sections (1, 2), said at least one locking screw (4) having a tapered end which comprises at least a portion of a cone, and said frame sections (1, 2) each having a counter surface (8) inclined relative to a respective at least one locking screw (4) such that rotation of the locking screw (4) to a locking position forces the frame section abutment surfaces together.
