  • each appendix 220 and 221 is respectively provided with a suitable cavity 210 and 21 1.
  • Said cavities 210 and 21 1 cooperate respectively with the projections 101 of the bracket 10 and 102 of the plate 1 1 , in particular said first projection 101 cooperates and releasably couples with said first cavity 210, while said second projection 102 cooperates and releasably couples with said second cavity 211.
  • said coupling provides a shape coupling, where said projections serves as a pin and said cavities as a guiding seat for the rotation movement; such coupling eases the relative sliding of the surfaces of said components, useful during the mounting steps of the panelling as it will be illustrated below.

  • said coupling keeps said panelling 3 in a stable hanging position (Fig. 11), allowing the operator to move freely so as to equip himself and set up the next installation steps in complete safety.
  • the system according to the present invention allows the operator to use different and known grasping and lifting means, such as for example lift trucks, lifts, or the like; this enables the operator to work safely, benefiting from lifting means that prevents him from manually maneuver heavy and bulky objects.
  • the rotation of the section bar 20 relative to the bracket 10, in accordance with what illustrated, allows a gradual and progressive lifting of the panel 3, enabling the operator to control the elevation of said panel 3 and the correct positioning thereof.
  • the operator may stop the lifting of the panel 3, by acting on the lifting means, by changing and adjusting the position and set-up of said panel 3 as needed.
  • a suitable covering and finishing case 8 may be provided and installed (Fig. 16).
  • the second plate 12 is optional, since there is no rotation movement of the section bar 20; thus, only the fixing 120 and clamping 121 means may be installed, which serves as a stop for the section bar 20.
  • the clamping means 121 may optionally also serve as adjustment means for positioning the section bar 20 more accurately.
  • the fastening system according to the present invention allows providing a reference and a support point for the operator that has to install the cantilever roof.
  • the operator in order to proceed with the installation of a generic cantilever roof, the operator has to prepare and make holes on the wall 9 for the fixing means or for the coupling means that allow locking said cantilever roof to the wall.
  • the system according to the present invention allows the operator to easily use said support bracket 10 as a jig for establishing and arranging said holes on the wall 9, guaranteeing an optimal alignment and positioning accuracy.
  • the bracket 10 in fact, is more manageable and easy to move with respect to a panelling, since it has lower overall dimensions and weight, so that the operator may operate with less effort and greater safety.
  • the operator therefore, having established and made said holes, fixes said bracket 10 to the wall and proceeds by lifting the panelling 3 and approaching the section bar 20 to the support bracket 10.
  • the support bracket 10 being already fixed to the wall 9, eases the operator providing him a reference during the movement of the panelling, by indicating him where and how to direct the section bar 20 to place it on the bracket 10, in accordance with the procedures described above, i.e. by coupling said second projection 102 with said second cavity 211 (Fig. 1 1) or by coupling said first projection 101 with said first cavity 210 (Fig. 14). As already anticipated, the operator is thus facilitated in the correct positioning and installing of said cantilever roof.
