Abrégé

A shingle mounting assembly, comprising two or more connectors (430, 630, 740). Each of the two or more connectors (430, 630, 740) are configured to engage with an elongate support so as to couple with the elongate support in a sliding arrangement. The assembly comprises one or more shingles (300), each of the one or more shingles (300) comprising a pair of opposing slots (305) extending from the edges of the shingle (300). Each slot (305) of the pair of opposing slots (305) of each shingle (300) is configured to receive a connector (430, 630, 740) of the two or more connectors (430, 630, 740). Each connector (430, 630, 740) comprises two prong portions (633, 733) which extend from a first end (635, 735) of the connector (630, 740) to a second end (636, 736). The distance between the two prong portions at the second end, in a first position, is sufficiently wide so as to enable each prong portion to be located simultaneously in slots (305) of two adjacent shingles (300). The prong portions (633, 733) of each connector (630, 740) are configured to be movable towards one another, into a second position, whereby the distance between the prong portions at the second end (636, 736) is such that both prong portions can be simultaneously located in a single slot (305) of a single shingle (300).
