Abstract
A wall covering system of plastics elements consisting of strips of sheeting or panels the lateral edges of which are folded by an angle of more than 90.degree. and profiles having a dovetail cross section for holding and fastening the strips, wherein the profiles are fixed on structural shapes, fastened to the wall and likewise having a dovetail cross section, by means of spacers of V-shaped cross section with chamfered end sections, which spacers are fitted into the structural shapes in a manner to enable them to slide in longitudinal direction.
Claims4
A wall covering system of plastic elements consisting of panels having lateral edges folded by an angle of more than 90.degree.;
- profiles having a dovetail cross section for holding the panels;
- structural shapes having a dovetail cross section, said structural shapes are fastened in parallel position on the wall;
- and
- spacers having V-shaped cross section with such chamfered end faces that their inclination degree corresponds to the inclination of the lateral faces of the profiles and having a length which corresponds to that of the panels, said spacers are fitted into the structural shapes in which they are sliding in longitudinal direction and fix the profiles on the structural shapes, whereby the folded edges of said panels constitute together with said profiles a form-closed fitting.
