Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2019057259A1] A frame element being an elongated frame element is proposed, where said elongated frame element is extending in a first direction and is for mounting along at least a part of the edge of a substantially plane wall unit, wherein said frame element is a U-shaped profile, and wherein the thickness of the wall unit is smaller than the distance between the two legs of the U-shaped profile enabling the wall unit to be positioned in a gap between legs of the U-shaped profile. The elongated frame element comprises at least two interconnected elongated profile elements; a first base element constituting the main part of said U-profile and a second attachable plate element constituting at least a part of one leg of said U-profile, and wherein said elongated profile elements comprise mutual engagement means enabling the second attachable plate element to be connected to a surface of the base element and locked to said base element by displacing said second attachable plate element along said surface of said first base element. Thereby, wall units may be mounted easily in the frame element without the need of screws or tools. In the mounting process, the first base element is secured to the building structure followed by inserting the wall unit into said base element. Due to the reduced height of the partial leg of the partially U-shaped base element, the wall unit may be inserted. Subsequently, when the wall unit is in place, the second attachable plate element is attached to the first base element through the disclosed displacement process, whereby the U-shaped frame element is formed with equally long legs of the U-shape, and the wall unit therefore cannot escape the groove of the U-shape.
