Abstract

L'invention concerne un système de joint conçu pour une structure de surface, telle qu'une plaque ou un élément de protection, ladite structure servant, en particulier, à recouvrir un sol avec une ou plusieurs autres structures de surface, dans le but de protéger temporairement ou de revêtir, entre autres, ce sol. Un système de joint est associé à cette structure de surface et sert à effectuer une fixation amovible entre une ou plusieurs structures contiguës et une isolation thermique (1) composée d'au moins une couche d'isolation thermique (1') essentiellement à base de plastique, telle qu'une couche cellulaire expansée en mousse plastique. Ce système de joint comprend un joint (x) permettant d'accoupler les structures de surface les unes aux autres par leurs coins au moyen d'un ensemble de verrouillage (y) fonctionnant de façon avantageuse selon le principe du verrouillage rapide.
