摘要

A method of and device for interconnecting individual profiled plates to be connected to each other end-to-end, and a structural connection effected thereby, according to which the plates to be interconnected are aligned in end-to-end relationship and a sheet metal section withdrawn from a roll of sheet metal strip material, or a pre-profiled sheet metal part is placed across the ends to be interconnected of profiled plates whereupon a ram is moved relative to the sheet metal section or profiled sheet metal part to press the sheet metal section or sheet metal part into the profiled portion of the profiled plates and the sheet metal section now profiled or the pre-profiled sheet metal part is connected to the profiled plates.
