Patent ID: 8893446

Claim:
A system provided with panels and with elements which extend along edges of the panels, the system comprising: at least two neighbouring panels, each panel being a thermal insulation panel that is provided with two parallel glass sheets, wherein opposite end faces of the neighbouring panels define a space between the opposite end faces; a first element extending along two longitudinal outer edges of the two neighbouring panels, for covering these longitudinal outer edges, wherein the first element is an elongated beam manufactured from metal, is of solid design and has a thickness of at least 2 mm; second elements extending along second edges of the two neighbouring panels, the second panel edges being parallel to the first edges, and being located at the same panel end faces arranged opposite each other as the first edges, and a connection between said first element and second elements, the connection comprising: a solid metal connecting element, wherein the solid connecting element is a solid elongated steel supporting beam having a thickness of more than 2 mm, which extends at right angles with respect to the panels, and the entire connecting element is solid; and a thermally insulating part that physically separates the first element from the solid metal connecting element such that the first element does not touch the solid metal connecting element, wherein a said first element extends along two longitudinal edges of two panel parts arranged side by side, for covering these longitudinal edges, and has a maximum width of 4 cm, measured in a transverse direction with respect to said longitudinal edges.
