A profiled rail system (1) is used for bridging floorcovering transitions, ends or staircase edges. The profiled rail system (1) has a base profile (2) and a covering profile (3). The base profile (2) has at least one vertical leg (6), on which an inner shell (9) of a rotary joint (10) is provided.

A profiled rail system (1) is used for bridging floorcovering transitions, ends or staircase edges. The profiled rail system (1) has a base profile (2) and a covering profile (3). The base profile (2) has at least one vertical leg (6), on which an inner shell (9) of a rotary joint (10) is provided. This rotary joint (10) supports the covering profile (3) such that it can be pivoted. For this purpose, two webs (11) oriented downward are provided on the covering profile (3) and, in order to form an outer shell of the rotary joint (10), have at least two partly cylindrical inner contours (12) which lie one above another. These inner contours (12) are formed so as to match the inner shell (9) of the rotary joint (10). In this way, step by step adjustability of the covering profile (3) is implemented. The rotary joint (10) can be clicked as desired into respectively one of the partly cylindrical inner contours (12). In addition, the partly cylindrical inner contours (12) ensure pivotable mounting of the covering profile (3) with respect to the base profile (2).

The invention claimed is: 1. A profiled rail system for bridging floor covering transitions, ends or staircase edges, the profiled rail system having a base, a covering profile and a means for mounting said covering profile on said base for relative vertical and pivotal movement therebetween, said mounting means comprising a vertical leg extending from said base and a joint, said joint comprising an inner shell defining a recess into which said vertical leg is received and an outer shell defining a recess into which said inner shell is received, said inner shell comprising a substantially smooth, cylindrical outer surface portion, said outer shell recess comprising first and second substantially vertically aligned, substantially cylindrical recess portions, each of said recess portions comprising a substantially smooth inner surface and substantially corresponding in shape to said outer surface portion of said inner shell, the position and orientation of said covering profile relative to said base being adjustable by moving said inner shell into a selected one of said outer shell recess portions with said substantially smooth, cylindrical outer surface portion of said inner shell adjacent said substantially smooth inner surface of said selected outer recess portion, thereby permitting said inner shell to be freely pivoted relative to said outer shell. 2. The profiled rail system of claim 1, wherein each of said outer shell recess portions engages around inner shell of the rotary joint by at most 60�� in each case from both sides. 3. The profiled rail system of claim 1, wherein said inner shell of said rotary joint is supported on said vertical leg of the base in a vertically adjustable manner. 4. The profiled rail system of in claim 3, said recess of said inner shell of said rotary joint engages said vertical leg of the base in a vertically adjustable manner. 5. The profiled rail system of claim 4, wherein said recess of said inner shell of said rotary joint and said surface of said vertical leg comprise interlocking toothed surfaces.
