Abstract

The invention provides a variable angle connector profile for connecting a plurality of enclosure panels, the profile comprising: a first end segment having a first open channel sized for receiving a first enclosure panel; a flexible middle segment attached to the first end segment; and a second end segment attached to the middle segment and having a second open channel sized for receiving a second enclosure panel; the middle segment including a flexible plastic material and the end segments including at least a semi-rigid material, all three segments being co-extruded as a single integral linear unit and wherein each of the first and second end segments includes surfaces adapted to abut each other and to delimit the extent of movement of the end segments towards each other in a first sense of swivel from a linear alignment of 180.degree. to a substantially perpendicular alignment of about 90.degree., while the segments are free to move in a second sense of swivel away from the surfaces to form a reflex angle therebetween, for accordian-like folding, storage and transport of a plurality of panels interconnected therewith.
