In the different figures, the same references designate identical or similar elements. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The invention is in no way limited to the three embodiments described by way of nonlimiting illustration. Thus, FIG. 1 represents a barrier 1 comprising two fastening system 2 and a panel 3. The panel 3 is made as a plate extended in horizontal longitudinal directions of X and vertical Z, and has a small thickness in front of these two dimensions . The panel 3 extends between two lateral edges 3a and 3b in the longitudinal direction X. The fastening systems 2 are arranged on either side of the panel 3. The panel 3 may for example be made of wood or composite material and may be of height corresponding to the height of the fastening systems 2, or be a blade (not shown) of lower height, a vertical superposition of panels being necessary to reach the height of the fastening systems 2. The systems of fastener 2 respectively provide a start and finish function and each have a holding system 5 cooperating with one of the side portions 3a, 3b of the panel 3. The fastening system 2 can hold a panel 3 of a thickness t ( 4), t being for example between 19 mm to 40 mm and preferably between 19 mm to 35 mm.

Figure 2 shows another embodiment of fastening system 2 but this time providing a more angle link function. The adaptability of the fastening system 2 offers the possibility to the user to marry panels 3 in different materials, different finishes and / or different heights.

Figures 3 and 4 show in more detail the fastening system 2 according to the first embodiment. This comprises a pole 6, made of aluminum or any other material and substantially cylindrical, extending vertically in a longitudinal direction Z between a foot 12 intended to be laid, fixed and / or sealed on a support 14, said support 14 for example a platinum or a floor of a garden or a living room, and a head 13, said head 13 can be surmounted by a cap (not shown), and having an outer surface 15 partially peripheral. The post 6 is for example between 1800 mm and 2000 mm in height and about 100 mm in diameter.

The post 6 also has at least one notch 4 and, in the embodiment here presented three notches 4. Each notch 4 has a continuous profile 11 extending in the longitudinal direction Z of the head 13 of the post 6 to the foot 12 of the 6. The notch 4 has a first fixing pattern 16, made in the continuous section 11, complementary to a second fixing pattern belonging to the holding system 5 in order to collaborate with the latter. Said first fastening pattern 16 has for example two grooves 7, symmetrical to each other with respect to a plane comprising the longitudinal direction Z, extending in the longitudinal direction Z of the head 13 to the foot 12 of the post 6. As a non-limiting example, the post 6 may comprise two notches 4 distributed in two planes perpendicular to each other of the outer surface 15 of the post 6 or two notches 4 distributed in two planes parallel to each other. the same outer surface 15. The post 6 may also have three notches 4 distributed at 900 from each other with respect to the plane comprising the longitudinal direction X, as shown.

Finally, the post 6 may have a hooking system (not shown) allowing the user to fix the latter against a wall. The fastening system 2 also comprises the holding system 5. The latter consists of two parts made of plastic bi-extrusion; a first rigid portion 17 and a second flexible portion 18. The second part 18 consists of two parts 18a, 18b symmetrical to each other with respect to the plane which comprises the longitudinal direction Z, and define between them a slot 19. The second part 18 constitutes a flexible retention portion 10 adapted to receive one of the lateral ends 3a, 3b of a panel 3. The first part 17 has a generally profiled shape, with a U-section in a plane normal to the longitudinal direction Z, with a base portion 21 of which extend on both sides two lateral arms 22a, 22b. The holding system 5 also comprises two ribs 8 extending in the longitudinal direction Z. The two ribs 8 together form the second fastening pattern 20 of the holding system 5. Said ribs 8 are intended to be received in the grooves 7 of FIG. the notch 4 to limit the movement of the holding system 5 within said notch 4. The holding system 5 is for example assembled to the pole 6 by vertical sliding from the head portion 13 of the post, after which the cap covers the head portion 13 to prevent the intrusion of rain or material into the notch 4.

The holding system 5 is removable, it can easily be added or removed from a notch 4, and is interchangeable, that is to say that each holding system 5 does not have its own notch 4 dedicated but can be assembled to any notch 4 of the post 6. The flexible retention portion 10 allows the maintenance of said panel 3 in an aesthetic manner and greatly limiting the noise related to the vibrations of the wind. Moreover, the flexible retention portion 10 allows the maintenance of panels of different thicknesses (measured in the Y direction). We are talking here about the thickness of the panel in a central region. We also speak of the maximum thickness of the panel at its reception by the flexible retention portion 10, little importance constancy or variations thereof in the direction Z. The second portion 18 has an associated fastening zone 23 to a side arm 22a, 22b adjoining the first portion 17. This has a free end 24 opposite to the attachment zone 23. The side portion 18a extends at least partially in the direction of the side portion 18b. The slot 19 is of width less than the thickness t of the panel 3. Alternatively, the second portion 18 and the attachment zone 23 may be two parts assembled to one another. The holding system 5 can therefore receive panels 3 of different thicknesses, between the width of the slot 19 and the width between the two lateral arms 22a, 22b. In intermediate cases, like that of Figure 4, the second flexible portion 18 flexes (deforms) to hang the panel 3. Note that the removal of the notch 4 of the holding system 5 allows the maintenance of 3 panels too thick to be assembled in the holding system 5.

As can be seen in FIGS. 3 and 4, the holding system 5 is also reversible between a finishing configuration and a receiving configuration. In the finishing configuration, the first part 17 forms, by the continuity of its peripheral surface with the outer surface 15 of the post 6, a finishing key 9. According to the configurations, the holding system 5 has its first part forming the finishing key 9 or its second portion forming the flexible retention portion 10 facing outwardly. In the finishing configuration, the assembly of the post 6 and of the holding system 5 is carried out as in the receiving configuration, simply by inverting the holding system 5. Each rib 8 cooperates with respectively one or other of the grooves 7 according to the configuration. The finishing key 9, of the same shade as the post 6, prevents the maintenance of the panel 3 in the notch 4 and allows to close said notch 4, temporarily useless for the user, to preserve the latter while maintaining the 2. This reversibility allows the fastening system 2 to provide, according to the desire of the user, a start or finish function, a connection function or junction, a angle function or a more angle link function.

In the position of Figure 3, the fastening system 2, with a holding system 5 contained in a first notch 4 and having its first part finishing key 9 to the outer surface 15 of the post 6 and two holding systems 5, contained in two second notches distributed in two planes perpendicular to each other of said outer surface 15 of said post 6 and having their second retention portion portion 10, acts as an angle. In the position of Figure 4 the fastening system 2, with a holding system 5, contained in a first notch 4 and having its first part finishing key 9 to the outer surface 15 of said pole 6, and two systems of maintenance 5, contained in two second notches distributed in two parallel planes of said outer surface 15 of said post 6 and having their second retention portion portion 10, acts as a connection or junction. The second embodiment, shown in Fig. 5, is similar to the first embodiment and will not be described again in detail. This second embodiment is distinguished from the first embodiment by the following points: the post 106 has an asymmetric shape in order to reduce the size perceived by the customer and the weight of said post, it has a generally rectangular section, the side having no notch, and disposed on the side of the bottom of the ground to be closed, is thin in order to be able to place the panels as close as possible to this bottom, - the holding system 105 consists of two parts made of bi-extrusion of plastics; a first rigid portion 117 and a second flexible portion 118. The first portion 117 has a generally rectilinear shape in a plane normal to the longitudinal direction Z. The rib 108 and the second portion 118 are similar to those of the first embodiment, the cooperation of the holding system 105 with the post having, however, a circular section rather than a niche. In the position of Figure 5, the fastening system 2, with the holding system 105 contained in a first notch 4 and having its second retention portion 10 to the outer surface 15 of said post 106 and two holding systems. 105, contained in two second notches distributed in two planes perpendicular to each other of said outer surface 15 of said post 106 and having their first part forming a finishing key 9, allows the post to offer a function of departure or arrival. The third embodiment, shown in Figure 6, is similar to the second embodiment and will not be described again in detail. This third embodiment is distinguished from the second embodiment by the following points: the holding system 205 consists of two independent parts, symmetrical to each other, or even identical. Each independent piece comprises a rigid core comprising a rib 208 cooperating with the groove 207, and a flexible portion 218. The rib 208 and the flexible portion 218 are similar to those of the second embodiment. - The finishing key 209 is independent of the holding system 205. There is then provided a continuous piece between two side edges 209a and 209b each carrying a rib 208. The ribs 208 of the finishing key 209 and the holding system 205 are similar . Where appropriate, the fastening system 2 is configured as a kit, comprising a post 6, one or more finishing keys 9, 109, 209 or several holding systems 5, 105, 205 to be assembled.
