Definitions

• the invention relates to a wall for the cabin of a painting system
• a frame made up of at least two hollow vertical posts and at least two hollow horizontal bars;
• Walls of this type can be composed of individual wall elements, each comprising two vertical posts and a plurality of horizontal bars.
• EP 0 647 476 AI shows a wall of the type mentioned at the outset.
• the fastening device comprises a profile strip on each side delimiting a field, which is fastened to the adjacent profile (transom or post) with screws.
• This profile strip extends over the entire length of the field and is provided with an undercut which interacts with the bevelled edge of the plate.
• the arrangement is such that the profile strip also serves as a positioning stop for the plate and as a device that holds the plate to the profile.
• the required beveling of the edges however, the plates are very complex; the design and attachment of the profile strips to the transoms and posts is complicated.
• the object of the present invention is to design a wall of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that the fastening device for the plates has a simple structure and can easily be fixed to the associated mullions and transoms.
• the fastening device comprises:
• each holding section of each blocking device is releasably inserted into a corresponding receiving opening in such a way that the contact section rests on the outside of the associated post or transom.
• the principle is therefore abandoned of supporting the edges of the plate that is to be fastened in a field over its entire length for correct positioning.
• a large number of discrete, "local" blocking devices are used, each of which only extends over a relatively short distance along the edge of the corresponding plate.
• Each of these blocking devices leaves can be easily attached to the associated post or transom by means of its holding section and the corresponding receiving opening on the post or transom to bring about a positive connection which holds the locking device in place.
• the assembly of a plate on the frame, which is formed by the posts and transoms, thus takes place in the following way: First, a suitable number of locking devices is inserted around each field into the corresponding receiving openings of the posts and transoms. the number of
• Blocking devices depend on the dimensions of the field. Then the plate, if necessary with the interposition of spacer blocks, can be easily adjusted from the side between the different contact sections of the clogging devices; This gives the plate its correct position within the frame, but it can still be moved to the side. In order to take this last degree of freedom of the plate, a corresponding profile strip is placed from the outside over the edge area of the plate and fastened in a suitable manner to the post or transom.
• each transom which delimits the underside of a field has two blocking devices assigned to this field, while the posts and transoms which delimit this field on the other three sides each have only one blocking device in this area exhibit.
• This design takes into account the fact that in the normal installation position of the wall only the bar delimiting the field on the underside is loaded by the weight of the plate, while the blocking devices on the other three sides only the largely force-free positioning of the plate relative to the Serve field.
• the arrangement is the same probably still so stable that when individual wall segments are preassembled, they can also be transported "lying down” in such a way that the normally vertical posts are horizontal.
• each blocking device comprises a flat fixing plate which, as the holding section, has at least one holding lug lying in the plane, which is formed into a slot-like elongated hole
• Receiving opening is insertable.
• Such a fixing plate can be inexpensively manufactured as a stamped part or by numerically controlled laser cutting.
• each fixing plate has two holding tabs at a distance. In this way, in particular in the case of longer fixing plates and heavier plates, the load is distributed evenly over the two holding lugs without a significant torque acting on one of these holding lugs.
• Movement relative to the vertical leg of the associated post or bar can be locked on this. After this locking movement, part of the holding tab is located behind the material of the vertical leg of the corresponding post or transom, so that the holding tab can no longer be removed from the receiving opening by pulling perpendicular to this leg.
• the fixing plate can be literally jammed in the leg of the corresponding post or transom, for example by moving the fixing plate by side blows with a hammer until the material of the leg wedges in the slot.

• the fields 10, 11, 12 delimited by the posts 4, 5 and the transoms 6, 7, 8, 9 are closed by plates, not shown in FIG. 1, which are fastened to the frame 3 in the manner explained in more detail below.
• Both the vertically extending posts 4, 5 and the horizontal bars 6, 7, 8, 9 of the profile frame 3 consist of folded steel sheet, the profile shape of which can be seen in FIG. It is a profile whose basic geometric shape is a rectangle, but which is not completely closed.

• the aforementioned slot-shaped access opening is closed by a removable cover 30.
• the exact shape of the profile from which the various posts 4, 5 and transoms 6, 7, 8, 9 are made is indifferent; it is important that it are hollow profiles which, contrary to the exemplary embodiment shown, can also be closed profiles, for example continuous casting profiles.
• a “local” blocking device is understood to mean a device that does not extend in a frame-like manner around a field 10, 11, 12 of the profile frame 3 and is “local” in this sense.
• a typical extension of such a "local” blockage device parallel to the direction of the corresponding post 4, 5 or bar 6, 7, 8, 9 can be in the range between 10 and 30 cm, preferably about 25 cm.
• Blocking device is understood here to mean any device on which the plates to be fastened in the fields 10, 11, 12 can be supported in the lateral direction in order to find their correct position in relation to the elements of the frame 3.
• the plates can thus be “set” from the side into these “blocking devices” 15 to 27 and then only need one on the side facing outwards
• FIG. 1 A symbolism was used for the blocking devices 15 to 27 shown in FIG. 1, which is intended to indicate the direction in which the corresponding blocking device is effective. This "direction of action" is characterized in the respective circle, which symbolizes the blocking device, in that an ent speaking circle segment is black. For example, it can be seen from FIG. 1 that the blocking devices 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 in the direction of the field

The two holding tabs 31b and 31c are separated from one another by a substantially rectangular recess 31d.
