Holding element for gratings

Abstract

A holding element for securing gratings ( 50 ) on supports ( 40 ) includes a leg-shaped first engagement part ( 11 ), a second engagement part ( 12 ), screw ( 30 ) for securing the first and second engagement parts ( 11, 12 ) with each other along a clamping axis (A), and an elongate guide element ( 13 ) spaced from the clamping axis (A), securable to one of the first and second parts ( 12 ) and displaceable in an opening ( 20 ) formed in another of the first and second parts ( 11 ).

1 . A holding element for securing gratings ( 50 ) on supports ( 40 ), comprising a leg-shaped first engagement part ( 11 ); a second engagement part ( 12 ); screw means ( 30 ) for securing the first and second engagement parts ( 11 ,  12 ) with each other along a clamping axis (A); and an elongate guide element ( 13 ) spaced from the clamping axis (A), securable to one of the first and second parts ( 12 ) and displaceable in an opening ( 20 ) formed in another of the first and second parts ( 11 ). 
   
   
       2 . A holding element according to  claim 1 , wherein the elongate guide element ( 13 ) is formed integrally with the one of the first and second part ( 12 ). 
   
   
       3 . A holding element according to  claim 2 , wherein the elongate guide element ( 13 ) and the one of the first and second parts ( 12 ) are formed integrally together as a bent stamping from sheet metal. 
   
   
       4 . A holding element according to  claim 1 , wherein the elongate guide element ( 13 ) has, at an end thereof remote from the one of the first and second parts ( 12 ), at least one projection ( 29 ) that forms a stop for a wall section ( 28 ) of the opening ( 20 ) formed in the another of the first and second parts ( 11 ). 
   
   
       5 . A holding element according to  claim 1 , wherein the elongate guide element ( 13 ) has, at least partially, a U-shaped cross-section. 
   
   
       6 . A holding element according to  claim 1 , comprising at least one guiding element ( 21 ,  22 ) provided at the opening ( 20 ) in another of the first and second parts ( 11 ) for the elongate guide element ( 13 ). 
   
   
       7 . A holding element according to  claim 6 , wherein the another of the first and second parts ( 11 ) pivots in a plane, which is defined by a longitudinal axis (L) of the elongate guide element ( 13 ) and a longitudinal axis (S) of the another of the first and second parts ( 11 ), within an angle (α) of −15°-+10° transverse to the longitudinal axis (L) of the elongate guide element ( 13 ). 
   
   
       8 . A holding element according to  claim 1 , wherein the second engagement part ( 12 ) has an opening ( 15 ) with an abutment for the screw means ( 30 ), and the first engagement part ( 11 ) has a counter-thread ( 24 ) for a thread ( 31 ) of the screw means ( 30 ) and at least one holding element ( 26 ) facing in a direction toward the second engagement part ( 12 ) for securing the holding element ( 10 ) to a support ( 40 ).
