Abstract

A sheeting device having large-size sheeting panels (2,4) supported against vertical supports (1,3) which are arranged in pairs facing each other and are spaced-apart by at least one spreader frame (5). The side walls (15,15') of the supports (1,3) having a C-shaped cross-section are provided with legs (16,16') which are bent in parallel to the base wall (12), are opposing each other, and leave a wide gap between them. The spreader frame (5) is guided in the supports (1,3) in a vertically movable manner. The spreader frame is provided with rollers (11,11') transmitting pressure forces and running on the base wall (12) of the supports (1,3) and with rollers (17,17') running on the inner sides of the two legs (16,16') of a support (1,3) and transmitting the traction of the spreader frame. To reduce the expenditure of material and installation work, the pressure force-transmitting rollers (11,11') and the traction force-transmitting rollers (17,17') are located on common axles ( 10), the pressure force-transmitting rollers (11,11') being located in the gap between the legs (16,16') of a support (1,3) and having a diameter that is larger than the distance of said legs (16,16') from the…
