Claims (27)

1. A finishing profile for a floor covering, comprising:

a body having first and second portions separate from one another and functionally combinable;

wherein in a combined condition, a transition is located between the first and second portions, and a layer shaped covering extends over the two portions, the layer shaped covering connecting and maintaining the at least two portions to one another;

wherein in a separated condition such that the layer shaped covering is removed at a location generally corresponding to the transition, the first and second portions are loosened relative to one another;

wherein the layered shaped covering is selected from the group consisting of laminate, foil and veneer;

wherein the layered shaped covering is laminated to the first and second portions.

2. A finishing profile for a floor covering, comprising:

a body having first and second portions separate from one another and functionally combinable;

wherein in a combined condition, the first and second portions being directly adjacent to one another, a transition is located between the first and second portions, and a layer shaped covering extends over the two portions, the layer shaped covering connecting and maintaining the at least two portions to one another;

wherein in a separated condition such that the layer shaped covering is removed at a location generally corresponding to the transition, the first and second portions are loosened relative to one another;

wherein the layered shaped covering is selected from the group consisting of laminate, foil and veneer;

wherein the layered shaped covering is laminated to the first and second portions.

3. The finishing profile according to claim 1 , wherein the first and second portions, in the combined condition, are connected exclusively by means of the layer-shaped covering, and a remaining weakened material portion located directly underneath the layer-shaped covering.

4. The finishing profile according to claim 1 , wherein the first and second portions, in the combined condition, are connected solely by means of the layer-shaped covering.

5. The finishing profile according to claim 1 , wherein the first and second portions, in the combined condition, adjoin directly to each other.

6. The finishing profile according to claim 1 , wherein the first and second portions, in the combined condition, are additionally attached to each other by means of a locking device.

7. The finishing profile according to claim 6 , wherein the locking device comprises one of a snap connection and a releasable adhesive connection.

8. The finishing profile according to claim 1 , wherein the first and second portions comprise, at least partially, either a wood or of a wood-based material.

9. The finishing profile according to claim 3 , wherein the first and second portions are separable and combinable, in that at least the layer-shaped covering and the remaining weakened material portion are separable at the weakened portion, and in that at least one of the first and second portions is detachable from the layer-shaped covering adjoining it.

10. The finishing profile according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first and second portion comprise a flange-shaped portion with an attachment portion located at the lower side, and at least one nose portion located, in the combined condition, substantially underneath the flange-shaped portion.

11. The finishing profile according to claim 2 , wherein the first and second portions, in the combined condition, are connected exclusively by means of the layer-shaped covering, and a remaining weakened material portion located directly underneath the layer-shaped covering.

12. The finishing profile according to claim 2 , wherein the first and second portions, in the combined condition, are connected solely by means of the layer-shaped covering.

13. The finishing profile according to claim 2 , wherein the first and second portions, in the combined condition, are additionally attached to each other by means of a locking device.

14. The finishing profile according to claim 13 , wherein the locking device comprises one of a snap connection and a releasable adhesive connection.

15. The finishing profile according to claim 1 , wherein the first and second portions comprise, at least partially, either a wood or of a wood-based material.

16. The finishing profile according to claim 11 , wherein the first and second portions are separable and combinable, in that at least the layer-shaped covering and the remaining weakened material portion are separable at the weakened portion, and in that at least one of the first and second portions is detachable from the layer-shaped covering adjoining it.

17. The finishing profile according to claim 2 , wherein at least one of the first and second portions comprises a flange-shaped portion with an attachment portion located at the lower side, and at least one nose portion located, in the combined condition, substantially underneath the flange-shaped portion.
