Abstract

Un certain nombre de systèmes de montage sont fournis pour le montage d'un élément en feuille par rapport à un élément de rail. Dans un exemple, le système de montage comprend un adhésif de montage allongé présentant une première partie de bord longitudinal et une seconde partie de bord longitudinal espacée par un espacement de largeur de la première partie de bord longitudinal. La première partie de bord longitudinal est conçue pour être fixée à l'élément en feuille. La seconde partie de bord longitudinal comprend une pluralité d'éléments de mise en prise de rail espacés le long de la seconde partie de bord longitudinal, les éléments de mise en prise de rail étant conçus pour entrer en prise avec l'élément de rail et pour permettre un mouvement longitudinal sélectif entre l'adhésif de montage et l'élément de rail. L'adhésif de montage est élastiquement déformable dans le sens de la largeur, au moins lorsque l'adhésif de montage est fixé à la feuille flexible.
