Abstract
A fixing device of a panel in a support rail, which includes a section having a U-shaped groove equipped with a rounded bottom and with two divergent ramps arranged at the apex of the two opposite wings of the section. The device enables the panel to be secured and adjusted vertically by means of a cradle straddling the bottom edge of the panel. The cradle is configured to snugly follow the conjugate shape of the bottom of the groove allowing a rocking movement of small amplitude when angular adjustment is performed. At least one wedging module comprising two adjustment screws collaborating with a first positioning wedge able to slide on the cradle and a second positioning wedge able to move along the corresponding ramp for bilateral clamping of the panel after said adjustment, are arranged on each side of the panel.
