Abstract[English]
An exemplary panel connecting system includes an elongate structural profile and two alignment means abutting opposite ends of the structural profile. The structural profile includes a main body and two elongate, elastically deformable tenons extending from the main body. Typically, the tenons are perpendicular to each other. Each tenon is bifurcated, thereby defining a pair of elongate prongs. Each prong has a stem portion and an enlarged distal end barb. The prongs are elastically deformable towards each other and thereby snappingly engaged in a matching channel of a corresponding panel. Each alignment means includes a pair of plugs, each of which is interferingly engaged in a matching hole of a corresponding panel. The structural profile also includes a slot channel, whereby it is attachable to another contiguous structural profile by an interlocking means when needed.[French]
Un système de liaison de panneaux donné à titre d'exemple comprend un profil structural allongé et deux moyens d'alignement venant en butée contre des extrémités opposées du profil structural. Le profil structural comprend un corps principal et deux tenons allongés élastiquement déformables s'étendant depuis le corps principal. Normalement, les tenons sont perpendiculaires l'un à l'autre. Chaque tenon est divisé en deux parties, délimitant ainsi une paire de dents allongées. Chaque dent possède une partie tige et une barbelure d'extrémité distale agrandie. Les dents sont élastiquement déformables l'une vers l'autre et s'engagent ainsi par encliquetage dans un canal correspondant d'un panneau correspondant. Chaque moyen d'alignement comprend une paire de fiches, dont chacune vient en contact par interférence dans un trou correspondant d'un panneau correspondant. Le profil structural comprend également un canal de fente, ce par quoi il peut être fixé à un autre profil structural contigu par un moyen d'interverrouillage lorsque cela est nécessaire.
