Abstract
A screen panel intended to be mounted on or fixed to a surface, in particular to ensure a “screen” effect, includes a sheet, preferably rectangular, that is held by its edges in a rigid frame, preferably metallic, that includes joined-together profiled elements. The frame includes two uprights that are able to be placed on or fixed to a surface, having at least one groove on the inside, the uprights being joined to cross members by assembly parts in the form of an angle bracket that is inserted in each case into a groove in a corresponding upright by way of one bearing surface and into a groove in a corresponding cross member by its other, preferably orthogonal bearing surface.
Claims21
A screen panel designed to be mounted or fixed on a surface, to act as a visual obstruction, comprising a sheet having edges, the sheet being held by the edges in a rigid frame consisting of assembled profiles, wherein the frame comprises two uprights, each able to bear on or attach to a ground surface, and two crosspieces extending between the two uprights and comprised of an upper crosspiece and a lower crosspiece, each upright comprising internally at least one respective upright channel, the upright channel opening towards and housing a respective upright edge of the sheet, the upper crosspiece comprising internally at least one upper crosspiece channel on an upper portion of the upper crosspiece opposite the sheet, each upright being connected to the upper crosspiece by a separate bracket-shaped assembly part, wherein each bracket-shaped assembly part comprises a first arm engaged in the upright channel of a corresponding upright, and a second arm perpendicular to the first arm engaged in the upper crosspiece channel, a thickness of the first arm of the assembly part entering the upright channel or a thickness of the second arm of the assembly part entering the upper crosspiece channel being greater than 1.02 times a width of the upright or upper crosspiece channel, respectively, such that the corresponding arm of the assembly part is force-fitted into the upright or upper crosspiece channel, respectively.
