Abstract
Abstract In a window lining, the corner between two adjoining lining plates is tightened by a wedge effect provided by engagement between a displaceable rail on the first plate and a rail fixed on the second plate. After the mounting of said second plate, the first plate can be brought into its place adjacent the fixed rail and can be tightened by hammer strokes which may be transmitted to the end of the displaceable rail via a flat mandrel so that the gap between the lining and the wall surrounding the window opening may be correspondingly narrow.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
178 words
A window lining arrangement, particularly for inclined windows, composed of plates which are connected to form a box-shaped form, one edge portion of which is fastened to the window frame while its other edge is level with the inside of the wall in which the window is installed, and where an end edge of a first one of two plates adjoining in a corner closely abuts on the inside of the second plate, characterized in that said second plate extends beyond the end edge of the first plate and, on the inside of the extended portion, carries a fixed angle rail having a projecting flange which forms an outer abutment for the end edge portion of the first plate, and said first plate at its end edge carries a displaceable rail comprising a first flap for engagement behind a second flap on the projecting flange of the fixed rail, said displaceable rail being guided in such a manner that a displacement of the displaceable rail along its longitudinal axis causes the plates to be tightened against each other.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
178 words

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
49 words
A window lining as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the displaceable rail is connected to said first plate by means of screws passing through inclined slots in a flange of the displaceable rail, the direction of said slots diverging from the first flap of the displaceable rail.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
63 words
A window lining as claimed in claim 1 or claim 2, characterized in that the projecting flange of the fixed angle rail forms an abutment for the outside of the first plate and the second flap is spaced from the second plate, the displaceable rail being provided with an upstanding portion extending across the second flap and carrying the first flap engaging therebehind.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
49 words
A window lining as claimed in claim 1 or claim 2, characterized in that the second flap points toward the outside of the first plate, said second flap forming an angle of somewhat less than 90° with the flange, and that the first flap has approximately the same bevel.
