Abstract: An assembly for lining a support means thereby forming a structure having generally curved surfaces comprises connector means adapted to be joined to the support means via an intermediate mounting means, the connector means having two clamping means and filling means therebetween to regulate the distance between the individual clamping means, and covering means elastically retained by the connector means and being shaped to cover the support means, the covering means comprising a fabric cover having a spatial double curvature and being under tensile stress.

Abstract: An assembly for lining or sheathing a network or framework such as a cable network to form a structure defining generally curved surfaces comprises at least one connector panel including two associated clamping plates and a filling plate therebetween for clamping and holding the covering panels employed to line the framework. The connector panels are attached to the framework by means of firm or elastic intermediate elements and are made from a material which is both weather-resistant and age-resistant.
