Locking system for a non perfectly stretched suspended partition

Abstract

A system for attaching non perfectly stretched suspended partitions made of a flexible web attached at the edges thereof to a frame attached to the walls or the ceiling of a room in a building, the frame including rails with a shoulder on which the edge bears, is characterised in that the edge has the shape of a hook and includes a wing through which it is connected to the web and a seam, The edge is made of a semi-flexible material and has a flexibility level such that the two branches a and are spread apart by at least 45° from each other after the edge has been inserted into the rail so that the portion of the inner face of the seam, located towards the free end of the seam is in contact with the shoulder and thus ensures a frictional blocking of the edge in the rail.

1 . A locking system for non perfectly stretched suspended partitions, said partitions being made of a flexible web ( 1 ) hung at the edges ( 10 ′) thereof to a frame attached to the walls ( 3 ) or the ceiling of a room in a building, said frame including rails ( 3 ) with a shoulder ( 8 ) on which the edge ( 10 ′) bears, said edge ( 10 ′), also called grab, having the shape of a hook and including a wing ( 10 ′ a ) through which it is connected to the web ( 1 ) and a seam ( 10 ′ b ), characterized in that the edge or grab ( 10 ′) is made of a semi-flexible material and has a flexibility level such that the two branches ( 10 ′ a  and  1   à′b ) are spread apart by at least 45° from each other after said edge has been inserted in the rail ( 3 ) so that the portion of the inner face of the seam ( 10 ′ b ), that is to say the face opposite to the wing ( 10 ′ a ), located towards the free end of said seam, is in contact with the shoulder ( 8 ) and thus ensures a frictional blocking of the grab ( 10 ′) in the rail ( 3 ). 
     
     
         2 . The locking system according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the free end of the seam ( 10 ′ b ) of the grab ( 10 ′) is beveled.
