  • Publication number: 20250215695
    Abstract: A post for securing a panel (1) includes a base (5), having two faces (5a, 5b) which are substantially orthogonal with respect to each other. The base has one face (5a) which is parallel to the plane of the panel (1), having a linear compression seal (13) at its free end, and one face (5b) which is orthogonal to the plane of the panel (1). The base has a flap (7), articulated with respect to the base (5) at the free end of the face (5b) which is orthogonal to the plane of the panel (1), carrying a complementary linear compression seal (13) at its end opposite to the articulation (51, 71), and a wedge (9), having an insert (11), inserted at the level of the articulation (51, 71) between the base (5) and the flap (7) in the assembled state which, when inserted, locks articulation (51, 71) in a position clamping the panel (1).

  • Patent number: 11939774
    Abstract: A device for securing a panel in a groove is provided. The securing device includes a cradle housed in the groove comprising a sole bearing on the bottom of the groove and a vertical outer flange interposed transversely between an outer face of the panel and a face of the groove; a first upper wedge which is interposed between a fixed upper ramp of the groove and an inner face of the panel; and a second lower wedge which is interposed transversely between a fixed lower ramp of the groove and the inner face of the panel. The lower ramp is carried by an inner vertical flange of the cradle.
