A method for clamping a plate (1) on a sheet material support (3), said method comprising the steps of providing a pre-plate (8) and a counter-plate (4), said pre-plate (8) comprising a plurality of pin supporting elements (2) bearing, on the rear side thereof, a plurality of pins (6) for engagement each in a corresponding hole (7) of said counter-plate (4);
- wherein said pre-plate (8) includes a plurality of anchoring means (9) for temporarily anchoring said pin supporting elements (2) of said pre-plate (8) at a plurality of attachment points, the attachment points amongst said anchoring means (9) and supporting elements (2) being arranged on the rear side of said elements (2), said anchoring means (9) being further adapted to be removed from said pre-plate to allow said pins (6) to be exposed and configured to be inserted into said holes (7) of the counter-plate (4);
- removing said anchoring means (9) from said pre-plate, to expose said pins (6);
- clamping said plate (1) on said sheet material support (3) by engaging said pins (6) in said holes (7) of said counter-plate (4);
- wherein said sheet material support (3) is interposed between said plate (1) and said counter-plate (4).
A plate (1) including a plurality of pin supporting elements (2) which are detached from one another and bearing, on the rear side thereof, a plurality of pins (6), a plurality of elements (5) comprising a plurality of holes (7) adapted to cooperate with said pins (6) of said pin supporting elements (2), each pin (6) being configured to be engaged in a corresponding hole (7) of said elements (5);
- wherein said plate (1) is clamped on a sheet material support (3) when said pins (6) are engaged with said holes (7) of said elements (5), wherein said pin supporting elements (2) comprise a plurality of disengaged temporary attachment points, the disengaged temporary attachment points being arranged on the rear side of said pin supporting elements (2).
