DEVICE FOR CONNECTING A WALL COMPONENT TO A FRAME STRUCTURE

摘要

TITLE OF THE INVENTION: DEVICE FOR CONNECTING A WALL COMPONENT TO A FRAME STRUCTURE Wall components, such as compartment dividers, especially in a railroad car or the like, are secured to a box type frame structure with the aid of an adjustable connecting device. A spacer rail (3) has a flange and a web extending at right angles to each other. Long holes extend in the web perpendicularly to the wall component for securing the spacer rail to the frame structure, after the spacer rail position has been adjusted relative to the frame structure. Screws or screw clamps or the like extend through the long holes. The flange is at least partially coated with an elastic cover. The wall component is secured exclusively to the elastic cover, for example through a hook and loop type connector. These features allow the installation of compartments into new or existing railroad cars in a simple and economical manner with the added advantage of noise damping by the elastic cover.
