Abstract of the Disclosure A connecting element is disclosed which is used, when manufacturing wall- or ceiling-claddings by the so-called dry construction method, with the assembly of the abutting end-faces of preferably elongated cladding panels having the same width and consisting of wood and/or a plastic material and which are assembled by connecting the region of their longitudinal edges through a tongue-and-groove system. The connecting element consists of a sectioned member whose longitudinal median plane preferably extends across that of the assembled panels and which comprises two locating strips contained at least approximately in the same plane and serving as a support for the undersides of the end face sections of two adjacent panels which are assembled end to end. The locating strips are separated from one another by a locating wall for the end faces of the assembled panels and constitute for example part of a gap-forming flange with an essentially rectangular cross-section which determines the width of the joint gap, projecting approximately at right angles from the plane of the locating strips. Preferably either end of the locating strips is associated with a clamping plate capable of establishing a clamped connection between the sectioned member and one of the assembled panels, the spacing between the clamping plate and the corresponding locating strip being approximately equal to the distance between the locating strip and the longitudinal groove in the panel. At least two lateral stops are provided for each locating strip in the direction across the longitudinal axis, the spacing between the stops corresponding either to the distance between the two longitudinal side edges of the corresponding panel or to the distance between the ground-surfaces of the longitudinal grooves which take part in the connection between a given panel and the adjacent panels at either of its longitudinal sides.
