Abstract

The invention relates to a temporary construction that includes a roof panel ( 201 ), a facade panel ( 111 ), and a component for attaching ( 204 ) the roof panel ( 201 ) to the facade panel ( 111 ), the attachment component ( 204 ) having one end intended to be attached to the roof panel and one end intended to be attached to the facade panel, one of the ends of the component including a hook able to engage with an orifice ( 212 ) provided in one of the panels ( 201, 111 ) or in an element ( 202 ) attached to the panel, in order to tension the component ( 204 ) so as to keep the roof panel ( 201 ) supported on the facade panel ( 111 ). The component may to advantage include a length adjustment means to tighten the attachment if necessary.

       4 . Construction according to  claim 3 , wherein the profiled member ( 202 ,  402 ) has a plurality of orifices ( 212 ,  412 ) adapted for receiving the hook ( 214 ,  215 ). 
   
   
       5 . Construction according to one of  claims 3  or  4 , wherein the reinforcing profiled member ( 202 ) is adapted for making a connection between several roof panels ( 201 ). 
   
   
       6 . Construction according to one of the preceding claims, wherein the roof panel ( 201 ,  401 ) is able to be arched in order to form a curved roof ( 200 ,  400 ). 
   
   
       7 . Construction according to  claim 6 , comprising a tensioning cable ( 203 ) adapted for maintaining the arc of the roof ( 200 ). 
   
   
       8 . Construction according to one of the preceding claims, comprising a plurality of roof support profiled members ( 402 ) arranged to form a star-shaped frame and wherein the roof panel ( 401 ) comprises a flexible sheet held in shape by the frame. 
   
   
       9 . Construction according to  claim 8 , wherein the roof support profiled members ( 402 ) are connected together by means of articulation means ( 422 ) allowing their deployment in a star. 
   
   
       10 . Construction according to one of the preceding claims, comprising a reinforcing profiled member ( 112 ,  122 ,  132 ,  142 ) fixed to the facade panel ( 111 ,  121 ,  131 ,  141 ), the reinforcing profiled member having an orifice intended to receive a hook ( 224 ,  225 ) of the fixing member ( 204 ,  205 ). 
   
   
       11 . Construction according to  claim 10 , wherein the profiled member ( 112 ,  122 ,  132 ,  142 ) has a plurality of orifices able to receive the hook ( 224 ,  225 ). 
   
   
       12 . Construction according to one of the preceding claims, wherein each end of the fixing member ( 204 ,  205 ) comprises a hook ( 214 ,  215 ,  224 ,  225 ).
