Abstract:
1. A construction set for covering a substrate comprising: a plurality of plate elements and a plurality of connecting elements each connecting element being configured to couple at least two plate elements that are positioned adjacent one another while maintaining a dilation gap having a width (C) between the two coupled plate elements, wherein each plate element includes at least one assembly section that includes at least one assembly hole defined on one surface thereof which is designated to face the substrate in an assembled state, and wherein each connecting element comprises a base and at least two assembly protrusions on the base, each assembly protrusion being configured to be received and seated in an assembly hole defined in a plate element, wherein each plate element has a thickness, a width and a length, wherein all plate elements have a same thickness, and wherein the length or the width (B) of the plate elements is determined by the relationship A+n(A+C), where n is equal to 0 or is a positive integer, value (A) denotes a distance between two adjacent assembly sections, located along a same flank of a plate element less the width of the dilatation gap (C), wherein a position of the assembly sections is determined according to the relationship ½A+n(A+C), so that each said assembly section is within a constant distance from the nearest edge of the plate element in which it is located, and in a fixed position in relation to the nearest assembly section of an adjacent plate element in the assembled state, wherein the construction set comprises plate elements having dimensions determined for at least some values of the parameter n and comprises also the assembly sections with positions determined for at least some values of the parameter n.
