Abstract:
1. A lining for surfaces, comprising at least two opposing profiled frame elements extending in a longitudinal direction along the surface to be covered in spaced relationship to each other, at least one membrane element disposed between said profiled frame elements and connected to said profiled frame elements, at least partially, by rearwardly engaging fastening means, the rearwardly engaging fastening means including at least one keder connection, and at least one taughtening means adapted to taughten said membrane element between said profiled frame elements, wherein said membrane element has as taughtening means at least one taughtening zip fastener, wherein a state of said membrane element can be changed, by closing said taughtening zip fastener, from a first, loose state to a second, taughtened state in which the membrane element is held taught between said profiled frame elements, wherein said taughtening zip fastener has first and second zip closure bands and at least one connecting member provided between said first and second zip closure bands, wherein the first zip closure band is formed along an edge region of a membrane of the membrane element, and wherein the second zip closure band includes a keder, disposed in the keder connection, and longitudinally movable in the keder connection in the first, loose state, wherein the first zip closure band is closed prior to insertion of the keder of the second zip closure band in the keder connection of the rearwardly engaging fastening means, and wherein the second zip closure band is subsequently closed after insertion of the keder in the keder connection to provide the taughtened state of the membrane element, wherein a gap between said zip closure bands is restricted by the connecting member when said taughtening zip fastener is open and wherein, when said zip-fastener is closed, the connecting member is relieved of tension.
