Abstract
A sectional frame and insert arrangement in which one contact surface on the insert rests against the frame, and the insert has a flange with a foot-shaped cross-section extending into a channel with a C-shaped cross-section. The flange has an impact surface that extends perpendicular to the contact surface and rests against the wall of the channel. The flange has a snap-in edge that engages below and can be released from the head of another wall having a T-shaped cross-section and being positioned opposite the first wall. Positioners enclosing at least partly the inserted area of the snap-in edge of the foot-section flange, are inserted into a longitudinal snap-in groove. The positioners have resilient tongues above the snap-in edge resting against the head of the T-section wall.
