In the upper and lower plates (5 and 6) and the gasket (7) there is a through hole so that they may be fixed by the bolt (9), stretched via through holes at the order of the upper plate (5), the gasket (7) and the lower plate (6), with fixation by the nut (10) to form the pressing bracket. Preferably between the upper plate (5) and the gasket (7) they install an angle (8), the width of which makes it possible to freely move it (and the entire pressing bracket) between support sites (3) of adjacent vertical ribs (2) of the deck.
