Abstract
A device which can be fixed to the edge of a panel, for example a sound-absorbing panel formed by heat-bonded synthetic fibers, is disclosed. The device includes a body with a longitudinal through-hole and two walls which define a cavity for enclosing the edge of the panel. The through-hole communicates with the cavity. The through-hole is configured to guide a threaded element (screw or the like) towards the cavity so that the threaded element engages at least with the edge of the panel so that it expands towards the walls of the cavity and is firmly retained by them.

An assembly comprising:
- a panel having an edge comprised of the same material as the panel and having a smaller thickness;
- and a device which can be fixed to said edge of said panel, the device comprising a main body with a through-hole, a threaded element having a head and two walls which define a cavity configured to receive and cooperate with said panel edge;
- wherein said through-hole communicates with said cavity;
- wherein said through-hole is configured to guide said threaded element towards said cavity;
- wherein the head of said threaded element is seated within the device and said threaded element penetrates into the edge of the panel so that the panel edge expands outwardly towards the walls of the cavity and is firmly retained by said walls;
- and wherein an end section of said through hole has a diameter smaller than the distance between the two walls of the cavity.
