  • the coefficient of friction between the supporting plate and the connecting plate increases.
  • Serrations are easy to produce, for example by means of extrusion, and make it possible to produce an excellent mechanical connection between the decorative panel and the bottom profiled section.
  • the supporting plate and the clamping element form part of the decorative panel, and the connecting plate forms part of the bottom profiled section.
  • an eave which comprises a bottom profiled section and a decorative panel.
  • the decorative panel comprises a protuberance for rainwater to trickle down.
  • the decorative panel is connected to the bottom profiled section, preferably by means of a connection as described above.

  • the bottom part (112) of the eave (100) comprises a protuberance (115).
  • the protuberance (115) is a linear rib on the bottom part (112) of the decorative panel (110). Precipitation which runs down the decorative panel (110) flows onto the protuberance (115), and then drops down.
  • the eave (100) rests on a wall and the protuberance (115) is at a certain distance from the wall, so that the water running off flows down at a certain distance from the wall. In this way, it is ensured that the wall remains dry.
  • a façade lip (116) is provided on the bottom part (112) of the eave (100).
  • the façade lip (116) forms part of the decorative panel (110) which is oriented vertically during normal use. In other words, during normal use, the façade lip (116) runs parallel to the wall on which the eave (100) rests.
  • the façade lip (166) is provided with a visual guard for the inside of the eave (100), which improves the aesthetic properties of the eave (100).
  • the protuberance (115) and the façade lip (116) have a synergistic effect. If the façade lip (116) were present and the protuberance (115) were not present, rainwater would drip down via the façade lip (116). During normal use, the façade lip (116) is situated very close to the wall on which the eave (100) rests, so that people are prevented from seeing the inside of the eave (100). If there were no protuberance (115), water would then drip down via the façade lip (116) and very close to the wall. As a result thereof, the wall would easily get wet, for example when it is windy. The protuberance (115) is provided in order to prevent this, since it ensures that rainwater drips down at a suitable distance from the wall. Thus, the façade lip (116) and the protuberance (115) cooperate in order to provide an aesthetically pleasing eave (100) which keeps walls dry.
  • the length of the façade lip (116) can be chosen in accordance with the desired aesthetic appearance. In normal use, a relatively long façade lip (116) will cover a larger part of the wall on which the eave (100) rests, thus resulting in the eave being more prominent. On the other hand, a relatively short façade lip (116) will cover a smaller part of the wall on which the eave (100) rest, thus resulting in a less prominent eave (100).
  • the bottom profiled section (120) comprises a horizontal bearing surface (124) and a vertical support surface (125).
