Fixture to mount a device

Abstract

A screw is used as part of a securing mechanism with a fixture, particularly with a swiveling arm, for a support system to secure, in particular, a medical or salon-technical device, with a holding part and a mounting part mounted on the holding part. The screw is screwed into the holding part or the mounting part, wherein the screw head projects into a groove of a bushing of the other part, i.e., of the mounting part or the holding part, and wherein the screw head can move freely in the groove when there is a relative rotation between the holding part and the mounting part, and wherein the groove is bordered by an upper surface. If there is a failure in the connection between the holding part and the mounting part, for example, if the securing ring fails, the surface impacts the screw head. In this manner, the holding part is held on the mounting part (FIG. 1 ).

1 . A fixture, particularly with a swiveling arm, for a support system to secure, in particular, a medical or salon-technical device, with a holding part and a mounting part mounted on the holding part, wherein the holding part is connected to a stationary support, in particular, a ceiling mount or a wall mount, the mounting part is rotatably connected to the holding part, the device places a load on the mounting part and therefore the holding part, a securing mechanism is provided to secure the mounting part with respect to the holding part, the securing mechanism has a screw with a screw head, and the screw extends into the holding part, wherein the screw is screwed into the holding part or the mounting part, and wherein the screw head projects into a groove of a bushing of the other part, i.e., of the mounting part or of the holding part, and wherein the screw head can move freely in the groove when there is a relative rotation between the holding part and the mounting part, and wherein the groove is bordered by an upper surface. 
   
   
       2 . Fixture as recited in  claim 1 , wherein a securing ring is provided in a holder of the holding part upon which the bushing of the mounting part is supported. 
   
   
       3 . Fixture as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the screw head has a wedge-shaped edge. 
   
   
       4 . Fixture as recited in  claim 1 , wherein a slot bordering the groove is provided for inserting the screw into an inner thread and for tightening.
