Eine derartige Befestigungsvorrichtung ist als Vorrichtung zum Befestigen einer Glasplatte einer Glasbalustrade bekannt. Die CA 2881046 A1 zeigt eine Vorrichtung zum Befestigen einer Glasplatte in einer Aufnahmenut einer im Wesentlichen U-förmigen Tragschiene. Die Vorrichtung umfasst ein Halteelement zum Halten des Bauteils in der Aufnahmenut, wobei sich eine Stirnfläche des in die Aufnahmenut eingebrachten Bauteils über das Halteelement am Nutgrund der Aufnahmenut abstützen kann. Die Vorrichtung umfasst weiterhin zwei keilförmige Klemmelemente zum Verkeilen des plattenförmigen Bauteils zwischen den Nutflanken der Aufnahmenut und zwei als Schrauben ausgebildeten Zugankern zum Positionieren der Klemmelemente. Jede der Schrauben erstreckt sich durch eines der Klemmelemente und wird in dem als Gegenpart wirkenden Halteelement verschraubt.Such a fastening device is known as a device for fastening a glass plate of a glass balustrade. The CA 2881046 A1 shows a device for fastening a glass plate in a receiving groove of a substantially U-shaped mounting rail. The device comprises a holding element for holding the component in the receiving groove, wherein an end face of the component introduced into the receiving groove can be supported on the groove base of the receiving groove via the holding element. The device further comprises two wedge-shaped clamping elements for wedging the plate-shaped component between the groove flanks of the receiving groove and two tie rods designed as screws for positioning the clamping elements. Each of the screws extends through one of the clamping elements and is screwed into the holding element acting as a counterpart.

Bei einer Balustrade ist eine Montage- und Befestigungsmöglichkeit von einer der beiden Seiten des anschließend montierten und befestigten plattenförmigen Bauelements erwünscht, da bei einer Balustrade der Zugang zur anderen Seite nicht ohne weiteres möglich ist. Aber auch bei der Montage und Befestigung eines plattenförmigen Bauelements an anderer Stelle ist eine Montage- und Befestigungsmöglichkeit von einer der beiden Seiten wesentlich bequemer und effizienter durchführbar.In the case of a balustrade, it is desirable to be able to mount and fasten one of the two sides of the subsequently mounted and fastened plate-shaped component, since access to the other side is not readily possible with a balustrade. But even when assembling and attaching a plate-shaped component at another location, an assembly and attachment option can be carried out from one of the two sides much more conveniently and efficiently.

Es ist die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung Maßnahmen anzugeben, die ein Befestigen eines plattenförmigen Bauteils in einer Aufnahmenut einer Tragschiene ermöglichen, wobei dieses Befestigen von einer Seite des in die Nut eingesetzten plattenförmigen Bauteils erfolgen kann.It is the object of the present invention to provide measures which enable a plate-shaped component to be fastened in a receiving groove in a mounting rail, this fastening being able to take place from one side of the plate-shaped component inserted into the groove.

Die Lösung der Aufgabe erfolgt erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale der unabhängigen Ansprüche. Bevorzugte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen und der nachfolgenden Beschreibung angegeben, die jeweils einzeln oder in Kombination einen Aspekt der Erfindung darstellen können.The object is achieved according to the invention by the features of the independent claims. Preferred embodiments of the invention are specified in the subclaims and the following description, which can each represent an aspect of the invention individually or in combination.

Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung zum Befestigen eines plattenförmigen Bauteils in einer Aufnahmenut einer Tragschiene, kurz Befestigungsvorrichtung, ist vorgesehen, dass der (einzige) Zuganker oder zumindest einer der (Mehrzahl von) Zuganker(n) biegsam ausgestaltet ist und von der einen Seite des plattenförmigen Bauteils um die Stirnfläche des Bauteils herum bis zu dem durch diesen biegsamen Zuganker zu positionierenden Klemmelement auf der der einen Seite gegenüberliegenden anderen Seite des Bauteils hinüberreicht. Durch diese Maßnahme wird es ermöglicht, dass nicht nur das Klemmelement, welches sich auf der einen Seite des plattenförmigen Bauteils befindet, sondern auch das Klemmelement auf der anderen Seite von der einen Seite des in die Aufnahmenut eingesteckten plattenförmigen Bauteils aus positioniert/manipuliert werden kann. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass ein Nutzer (Bediener) der Befestigungsvorrichtung von der einen Seite des Bauteils aus beide Klemmelemente positionieren/manipulieren kann, was insbesondere für die eingangs erwähnten Balustraden eine enorme Verbesserung darstellt. Das plattenförmige Bauelement ist bevorzugt ein plattenförmiges Bauelement aus Glas, also insbesondere eine Glasplatte oder ein Glasplattenverbund. Entscheidend für die Funktion des Zugankers als solcher ist dessen Zugfestigkeit. Diese Eigenschaft ist für biegsame Bauelemente vielfach genauso gut gewährleistet wie für eher starre Bauelemente.In the device according to the invention for fastening a plate-shaped component in a receiving groove of a mounting rail, or fastening device for short, it is provided that the (only) tie rod or at least one of the (plurality of) tie rods (n) is designed to be flexible and from one side of the plate-shaped component extends around the end face of the component to the clamping element to be positioned by this flexible tie rod on the other side of the component opposite one side. This measure enables not only the clamping element, which is located on one side of the plate-shaped component, but also the clamping element, on the other side, to be positioned / manipulated from the one side of the plate-shaped component inserted into the receiving groove. This has the advantage that a user (operator) of the fastening device positions / manipulates both clamping elements from one side of the component can, which is an enormous improvement, especially for the balustrades mentioned at the beginning. The plate-shaped component is preferably a plate-shaped component made of glass, in particular a glass plate or a glass plate composite. The tensile strength is decisive for the function of the tie rod as such. This property is often just as well guaranteed for flexible components as for more rigid components.

Mit Vorteil kann mittels des biegsamen Zugankers nicht nur das eine Klemmelement positioniert werden, sondern beide Klemmelemente. Dazu muss der Zuganker zwischen den beiden Klemmelementen wirken.Advantageously, not only one clamping element can be positioned by means of the flexible tie rod, but both clamping elements. To do this, the tie rod must act between the two clamping elements.

Mittels der Klemmelemente soll das plattenförmige Bauelement in einer zuvor ausgewählten Ausrichtung ausgerichtet verklemmt werden können. Dazu sind die Klemmelemente entsprechend oder zumindest ähnlich der aus der eingangs erwähnten CA 2881046 A1 bekannten Positionierungskeile geformt. Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist daher vorgesehen, dass die Klemmelemente jeweils eine Keilform zum Verkeilen des plattenförmigen Bauteils zwischen den Nutflanken der Aufnahmenut aufweisen. Das Verklemmen des plattenförmigen Bauteils ist dabei also ein Verkeilen. Prinzipiell ist eine Ausführungsform denkbar, bei der nur eines der Klemmelemente eine Keilform aufweist. Prinzipiell können die Flanken der keilförmigen Klemmelemente, also die Keilflächen, natürlich plan ausgebildet sein. Bei planen Keilflächen kann es -je nach Winkelstellung des plattenförmigen Bauelements- jedoch unter Umständen zu undefinierten Stellungen des entsprechenden keilförmigen Klemmelements kommen. Daher ist mit Vorteil vorgesehen, dass eine oder beide Flanken beider oder zumindest einer der keilförmigen Klemmelemente eine (leichte) Wölbung aufweist. Der Vorteil einer derartigen Wölbung liegt darin, dass damit sichergestellt ist, dass die eine Seite des keilförmigen Klemmelements stets plan an ihrer Gegenfläche anliegt, während die andere Seite des keilförmigen Klemmelements jeweils zumindest ungefähr mittig linienförmig aufliegt, oder das beide Seiten des keilförmigen Klemmelements zumindest ungefähr mittig linienförmig aufliegen.By means of the clamping elements, the plate-shaped component should be able to be clamped aligned in a previously selected orientation. For this purpose, the clamping elements are corresponding or at least similar to that from the above CA 2881046 A1 known positioning wedges shaped. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, it is therefore provided that the clamping elements each have a wedge shape for wedging the plate-shaped component between the groove flanks of the receiving groove. The jamming of the plate-shaped component is therefore a wedging. In principle, an embodiment is conceivable in which only one of the clamping elements has a wedge shape. In principle, the flanks of the wedge-shaped clamping elements, that is to say the wedge surfaces, can of course be planar. In the case of flat wedge surfaces, depending on the angular position of the plate-shaped component, however, undefined positions of the corresponding wedge-shaped clamping element can occur. It is therefore advantageously provided that one or both flanks of both or at least one of the wedge-shaped clamping elements has a (slight) curvature. The advantage of such a curvature is that it ensures that one side of the wedge-shaped clamping element always lies flat against its counter surface, while the other side of the wedge-shaped clamping element is linear at least approximately in the middle rests, or that both sides of the wedge-shaped clamping element lie at least approximately linearly in the middle.

Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass der biegsame Zuganker mittels des Halteelements von der einen Seite des Bauteils auf die andere Seite des Bauteils umgelenkt wird. Dazu wird der biegsame Zuganker beispielsweise entlang einer Umlenkfläche des Halteelements oder über mindestens eine Rolle/Walze des Halteelements geführt.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the flexible tie rod is deflected from one side of the component to the other side of the component by means of the holding element. For this purpose, the flexible tie rod is guided, for example, along a deflection surface of the holding element or over at least one roller / roller of the holding element.

Gemäß einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist das Halteelement als ein ein Verkippen des in die Aufnahmenut eingebrachten, jedoch unverklemmten Bauteils ermöglichendes Halteelement ausgebildet. Dazu weist der Nutgrund beispielsweise eine Halbkreisförmige Kontur auf, in der das entsprechend geformte Halteelement verkippt werden kann.According to a further preferred embodiment of the invention, the holding element is designed as a holding element which enables the component which is introduced into the receiving groove but is unclamped to tilt. For this purpose, the base of the groove has, for example, a semicircular contour in which the correspondingly shaped holding element can be tilted.

Gemäß noch einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist der biegsame Zuganker dazu eingerichtet, das Klemmelement auf der einen Seite des plattenförmigen Bauteils mit dem Klemmelement auf der anderen Seite des plattenförmigen Bauteils zugfest zu verbinden. Mit dem einen biegsamen Zuganker werden dabei beide Klemmelemente fixiert. Alternativ oder zusätzlich kann das Klemmelement auf der einen Seite auch durch einen herkömmlichen Zuganker fixiert sein.According to yet another preferred embodiment of the invention, the flexible tie rod is designed to connect the clamping element on one side of the plate-shaped component with the clamping element on the other side of the plate-shaped component in a tensile manner. Both clamping elements are fixed with the one flexible tie rod. Alternatively or additionally, the clamping element can also be fixed on one side by a conventional tie rod.

In einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist der biegsame Zuganker nicht nur ein Zuganker zum Verklemmen des plattenförmigen Bauteils zwischen den Nutflanken der Aufnahmenut, sondern alternativ oder zusätzlich auch zum Verbringen des auf der anderen Seite des plattenförmigen Bauteils befindlichen Klemmelements in die entsprechende Klemmposition. Der Zuganker reicht von dem auf der anderen Seite des plattenförmigen Bauteils befindlichen Klemmelement bis zu der einen Seite, sodass durch ein Ziehen am Zuganker auf der einen Seite das Klemmelement auf der anderen Seite bewegt oder anderweitig manipuliert werden kann. Das Verbringen des auf der anderen Seite des plattenförmigen Bauteils befindlichen Klemmelements in die entsprechende Klemmposition wird später im Rahmen eines "Systems zum Befestigen eines plattenförmigen Bauteils in einer Aufnahmenut einer Tragschiene" noch einmal diskutiert.In one embodiment of the invention, the flexible tie rod is not only a tie rod for clamping the plate-shaped component between the groove flanks of the receiving groove, but alternatively or additionally also for bringing the clamping element located on the other side of the plate-shaped component into the corresponding clamping position. The tie rod extends from the clamping element located on the other side of the plate-shaped component to one side, so that the clamping element on the other side is moved or otherwise manipulated by pulling on the tie rod on the one side can. The bringing of the clamping element located on the other side of the plate-shaped component into the corresponding clamping position will be discussed again later in the context of a "system for fastening a plate-shaped component in a receiving groove of a mounting rail".

Grundsätzlich ist die Funktion des Verkeilens auch dann gegeben, wenn die beiden keilförmigen Klemmelemente unabhängig voneinander ein- und festgesetzt werden. Der Zuganker wird also in seiner Grundausführung hauptsächlich dafür verwendet, das vom Nutzer abgewandten Klemmelement mittels Zugkraft in seine Position zu bringen. Durch die Verkeilung (Selbsthemmung) sollten beide keilförmigen Klemmelemente auch jeweils alleine halten.Basically, the wedging function also exists if the two wedge-shaped clamping elements are inserted and fixed independently of one another. The basic design of the tie rod is therefore mainly used to bring the clamping element facing away from the user into position by means of tensile force. Due to the wedging (self-locking), both wedge-shaped clamping elements should each hold alone.

Gemäß einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ermöglicht es die Befestigungsvorrichtung jedoch auch, dass mit Hilfe des Zugankers die Klemmposition des entsprechenden Klemmelements oder sogar beider Klemmelemente fixiert wird. Für dieses Fixieren wird ein Feststellmechanismus benötigt. Dieser Feststellmechanismus kann beispielsweise -wie aus dem eingangs erwähnten Dokument bekannt- durch eine Verschraubung realisiert sein. Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung weist der biegsame Zuganker jedoch einen Ratschenmechanismus mit einer Sperrklinke und/oder einen Spindeltrieb auf. Anders als bei der Verschraubung ergeben sich hier in der Regel diskret gestufte Feststellmöglichkeiten. Ein Fixieren der keilförmigen Klemmelemente gegeneinander mittels Zuganker bringt eine zusätzliche Sicherheit gegen Lösen, ist jedoch nicht zwingend erforderlich.According to a further embodiment of the invention, however, the fastening device also enables the clamping position of the corresponding clamping element or even both clamping elements to be fixed with the aid of the tie rod. A locking mechanism is required for this fixing. This locking mechanism can be implemented, for example, as is known from the document mentioned at the beginning, by a screw connection. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, however, the flexible tie rod has a ratchet mechanism with a pawl and / or a spindle drive. In contrast to the screw connection, there are usually discretely graded locking options. Fixing the wedge-shaped clamping elements against each other by means of tie rods provides additional security against loosening, but is not absolutely necessary.

Dabei ist der biegsame Zuganker bevorzugt als biegsamer Zuganker nach dem Ratschband-Prinzip, also dem Prinzip nach dem auch Kabelbinder arbeiten, ausgebildet. Dabei ist das Ratschband in der Regel als Flachband mit einer Mehrzahl von über die Längsrichtung des Bandes verteilt angeordnete und selbst quer zu dieser Längsrichtung des Bandes ausgerichteten Stegen ausgebildet. An diesen Stegen greift dann beispielsweise die Sperrklinke des Ratschenmechanismus oder die Spindel oder Schnecke des Spindeltriebs an. Anders als bei einem Kabelbinder ist das Ratschband in einer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung jedoch separat von dem Ratschenmechanismus mit der Sperrklinke. Ein solcher biegsamer Zuganker nach dem Ratschband-Prinzip ist in der Regel nur in einer Richtung beziehungsweise Ausrichtung biegsam. Insbesondere im Zusammenhang mit dem genannten Ratschband kann der Ratschenmechanismus mit der Sperrklinke auch durch einen von Schlauchschellen bekannten Schneckengewindetrieb oder Spindeltrieb ersetzt werden. Durch einen derartigen Trieb lässt sich die Positionierung des Klemmelements beziehungsweise der Klemmelemente besonders präzise durchführen.The flexible tie rod is preferably designed as a flexible tie rod based on the ratchet principle, ie the principle according to which cable ties also work. The ratchet band is generally designed as a flat band with a plurality of webs which are distributed over the longitudinal direction of the band and are even oriented transversely to this longitudinal direction of the band. The pawl of the ratchet mechanism or the spindle or worm of the spindle drive then acts on these webs, for example. Different than one In one embodiment of the invention, however, the ratchet strap is a cable tie separate from the ratchet mechanism with the pawl. Such a flexible tie rod based on the ratchet principle is generally only flexible in one direction or orientation. In particular in connection with the aforementioned ratchet strap, the ratchet mechanism with the pawl can also be replaced by a worm screw drive or spindle drive known from hose clamps. The positioning of the clamping element or the clamping elements can be carried out particularly precisely by such a drive.

Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform der Erfindung weist das Halteelement zumindest zwei am Nutgrund miteinander und mit dem plattenförmigen Bauteil verklemmbare Teile auf. Die Teile sind dabei so ausgestaltet und/oder innerhalb des Halteelements angeordnet, dass sie über die Betätigung des biegsamen Zugankers oder über einen von der Betätigung des biegsamen Zugankers separaten Klemmschritt verklemmbar sind.According to a further embodiment of the invention, the holding element has at least two parts which can be clamped to one another at the groove base and to the plate-shaped component. The parts are designed and / or arranged within the holding element in such a way that they can be clamped via the actuation of the flexible tie rod or via a clamping step separate from the actuation of the flexible tie rod.

Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform der Erfindung weist jedes oder zumindest eines der Klemmelemente zumindest zwei (jeweils) zwischen dem plattenförmigen Bauelement und der entsprechenden Nutflanke miteinander verklemmbare Komponenten auf. Dabei ist mit Vorteil vorgesehen, dass die Komponenten des zumindest einen Klemmelements eine Raststruktur zum Fixieren ihrer Position relativ zueinander aufweisen und dass eine dieser Komponenten eine Struktur für eine formschlüssige Verbindung mit einer entsprechenden Gegenstruktur an der Nutflanke aufweist. Die Raststruktur kann beispielsweise auf dem Ratschenmechanismus beruhen. Die Struktur der einen Komponente ist insbesondere eine Stegstruktur und die in der Nutflanke ausgebildete Gegenstruktur ist eine Nut.According to a further embodiment of the invention, each or at least one of the clamping elements has at least two components which can be clamped to one another between the plate-shaped component and the corresponding groove flank. It is advantageously provided that the components of the at least one clamping element have a latching structure for fixing their position relative to one another and that one of these components has a structure for a positive connection with a corresponding counter structure on the groove flank. The locking structure can be based, for example, on the ratchet mechanism. The structure of the one component is in particular a web structure and the counter structure formed in the groove flank is a groove.

Gemäß noch einer weiteren Ausführungsform der Erfindung weist der biegsame Zuganker eine Sollbruchstelle auf, die derart ausgebildet ist, dass sich der biegsame Zuganker bei Überschreiten einer vordefinierten Zugbelastung an dieser Stelle auftrennt. Die vordefinierte Zugbelastung ist dabei so dimensioniert, dass eine hinreichende Klemmkraft erreicht wird.According to yet another embodiment of the invention, the flexible tie rod has a predetermined breaking point which is designed in such a way that the flexible tie rod is exceeded when it is exceeded a predefined tensile load at this point. The predefined tensile load is dimensioned so that an adequate clamping force is achieved.

Die Erfindung betrifft weiterhin eine Verwendung einer vorstehend genannten Vorrichtung zum Befestigen eines plattenförmigen Bauteils in einer Aufnahmenut einer Tragschiene. Mit anderen Worten betrifft die Erfindung also ein Verfahren zum Befestigen eines plattenförmigen Bauteils in einer Aufnahmenut einer Tragschiene mittels der vorstehend genannten Befestigungsvorrichtung. Dabei wird ein Schritt eines

  • Einsetzens des Halteelements, der Klemmelemente und dem von der dem Nutzer zugewandten Seite bis zu dem Klemmelement auf der vom Nutzer abgewandten Seite der Trageschiene angeordneten Klemmelement hinüberreichenden Zuganker in die Aufnahmenut der Trageschiene als gegeben vorausgesetzt.
The invention further relates to the use of an above-mentioned device for fastening a plate-shaped component in a receiving groove of a mounting rail. In other words, the invention thus relates to a method for fastening a plate-shaped component in a receiving groove of a mounting rail by means of the fastening device mentioned above. One step is a
  • Insertion of the holding element, the clamping elements and the tie rod extending from the side facing the user to the clamping element on the side of the support rail facing away from the user into the receiving groove of the support rail are assumed as given.

Es ergeben sich die folgenden erfindungsgemäßen Schritte:

  • Einstecken des plattenförmigen Bauteils in eine Aufnahmenut einer Tragschiene bis sich eine Stirnfläche des in die Aufnahmenut eingebrachten Bauteils über das Halteelement der Vorrichtung am Nutgrund der Aufnahmenut abstützt,
  • Ausrichten des plattenförmigen Bauteils durch Verschwenken/Verkippen des Bauteils in der Aufnahmenut und
  • Positionieren der Klemmelemente zum Verklemmen des ausgerichteten Bauteils zwischen den Nutflanken der Aufnahmenut, wobei das auf der vom Nutzer abgewandten Seite der Trageschiene angeordnete Klemmelement mittels des von der dem Nutzer zugewandten Seite der Tragschiene bis zu diesem (auf der vom Nutzer abgewandten Seite der Trageschiene angeordneten) Klemmelement hinüberreichenden Zugankers positioniert wird.
The following steps according to the invention result:
  • Inserting the plate-shaped component into a receiving groove of a mounting rail until an end face of the component introduced into the receiving groove is supported on the groove base of the receiving groove via the holding element of the device,
  • Align the plate-shaped component by pivoting / tilting the component in the receiving groove and
  • Positioning the clamping elements for clamping the aligned component between the groove flanks of the receiving groove, the clamping element arranged on the side of the mounting rail facing away from the user, by means of the side of the mounting rail facing the user, as far as this (on the side of the mounting rail facing away from the user) Clamping element is positioned over the tie rod.

Die dem Nutzer zugewandte Seite entspricht dabei der "einen Seite des plattenförmigen Bauteils" und die vom Nutzer abgewandte Seite der Trageschiene entspricht dabei der "anderen Seite des plattenförmigen Bauteils" der zuvor beschriebenen Befestigungsvorrichtung.The side facing the user corresponds to "one side of the plate-shaped component" and the side of the support rail facing away from the user corresponds to the "other side of the plate-shaped component" of the fastening device described above.

Optional kann sich dann noch der folgende Schritt anschließen:

  • Fixieren der Klemmelemente in der Klemmposition mittels des zumindest einen Zugankers.
The following step can then optionally follow:
  • Fixing the clamping elements in the clamping position by means of the at least one tie rod.

Die Erfindung betrifft schließlich auch ein System zum Befestigen eines plattenförmigen Bauteils in einer Aufnahmenut einer Tragschiene mit einer vorstehend genannten Befestigungsvorrichtung und einem Werkzeug zum Vorspannen der Klemmelemente. Dabei ist das Werkzeug bevorzugt hebelartig, insbesondere kapselheberartig ausgebildet. Dabei stützt man das Werkzeug einerseits am Klemmelement auf der einen Seite des Bauteils ab um einen auf dieser Seite vorhandenen Abschnitt des flexiblen Zuganker anzuziehen/anzuheben um ihn so vorzuspannen. Alternativ stützt sich das Werkzeug (gegebenenfalls in einer geeigneten Nut) am Profilkörper der Tragschiene ab. Dabei wird unabhängig voneinander eine Druckkraft auf das dem Werkzeug zugewandte keilförmige Klemmelement und eine Zugkraft auf den Zuganker des dem Werkzeug abgewandten keilförmige Klemmelements aufgebracht, sodass beide keilförmigen Klemmelemente unabhängig voneinander bewegt beziehungsweise verspannt werden können. Das Werkzeug kann dabei gegebenenfalls auch so gestaltet sein, dass alle drei Möglichkeiten (Druckkraft auf das eine keilförmige Klemmelement, Zugkraft auf den Zuganker des anderen keilförmige Klemmelements, gleichzeitiges Verspannen beider keilförmiger Klemmelemente gegeneinander) durch unterschiedliche Handbewegungen und/oder Nutzung einer Nut genutzt werden können.Finally, the invention also relates to a system for fastening a plate-shaped component in a receiving groove of a mounting rail with a fastening device mentioned above and a tool for prestressing the clamping elements. The tool is preferably designed like a lever, in particular like a bottle opener. The tool is supported on the one hand on the clamping element on one side of the component in order to tighten / lift a section of the flexible tie rod present on this side in order to pre-tension it. Alternatively, the tool is supported (if necessary in a suitable groove) on the profile body of the mounting rail. Independently of one another, a compressive force is applied to the wedge-shaped clamping element facing the tool and a tensile force is applied to the tie rod of the wedge-shaped clamping element facing away from the tool, so that both wedge-shaped clamping elements can be moved or braced independently of one another. If necessary, the tool can also be designed so that all three possibilities (pressure force on one wedge-shaped clamping element, tensile force on the tie rod of the other wedge-shaped clamping element, simultaneous bracing of both wedge-shaped clamping elements against one another) can be used by different hand movements and / or use of a groove ,

Nachfolgend wird die Erfindung unter Bezugnahme auf die anliegenden Zeichnungen anhand eines bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiels exemplarisch erläutert, wobei die nachfolgend dargestellten Merkmale sowohl jeweils einzeln als auch in Kombination einen Aspekt der Erfindung darstellen können. Es zeigen:

In the following, the invention is explained by way of example with reference to the attached drawings using a preferred exemplary embodiment, the features shown below being able to represent an aspect of the invention both individually and in combination. Show it:
  • Fig. 1 a front view of an arrangement of a mounting rail, a plate-shaped component and a fastening device for fastening the component in the mounting rail according to a preferred embodiment of the invention and

Die Figur 1 zeigt eine Anordnung aus einer Tragschiene 10, einem plattenförmigen Bauteil 12 sowie einer Befestigungsvorrichtung 14 zum Befestigen des plattenförmigen Bauteils 12 in einer Aufnahmenut 16 der Tragschiene 10. Das plattenförmige Bauteil 12 ist eine Platte beziehungsweise ein Plattenverbund. Im gezeigten Beispiel eine Glasplatte beziehungsweise ein Glasplattenverbund. Die Tragschiene 10 ist im gezeigten Beispiel im Wesentlichen U-förmig, hat also eine Basis und zwei Schenkel. Die Basis der Tragschiene 12 ist so geformt, dass die Aufnahmenut 16 einen abgerundeten Nutgrund 18 aufweist. Die Innenseiten der beiden Schenkel bilden die Nutflanken20, 22 der Aufnahmenut 16. Die Nutflanken 20, 22 laufen - vom Nutgrund 18 startend- zunächst aufeinander zu um dann in Richtung der freien Enden der Schenkel wieder auseinander zu laufen. Es entsteht also eine Verjüngung 24 der Aufnahmenut. Im unteren Bereich der Aufnahmenut 16 zwischen Nutgrund 18 und Verjüngung 24 liegt ein Halteelement 26 der Befestigungsvorrichtung 14 ein. Das Halteelement 26 gewährleistet ein solches Halten des plattenförmigen Bauteils 12 in der Aufnahmenut 16, dass sich eine Stirnfläche 28 des in die Aufnahmenut 16 einsteckten plattenförmigen Bauteils 12 über das Halteelement 26 am Nutgrund 18 der Aufnahmenut 16 abstützt. Das Halteelement 26 ist gleichzeitig eine Art Dämpfungselement sowie ein Abstandhalter und hat seinerseits eine U-Form mit einer Nut, in der das plattenförmige Bauteil 12 im Bereich seiner Stirnfläche 28 einliegt. Dabei ist das Halteelement 26 derart geformt beziehungsweise auf die Form der Aufnahmenut 16 angestimmt, dass das plattenförmige Bauteil 12 in der Tragschiene 10 (bis zu einem gewissen Grad) verschwenkt/verkippt werden kann.The Figure 1 shows an arrangement of a mounting rail 10, a plate-shaped component 12 and a fastening device 14 for fastening the plate-shaped component 12 in a receiving groove 16 of the mounting rail 10. The plate-shaped component 12 is a plate or a plate assembly. In the example shown, a glass plate or a glass plate assembly. The mounting rail 10 is essentially U-shaped in the example shown, that is to say it has a base and two legs. The base of the mounting rail 12 is shaped such that the receiving groove 16 has a rounded groove base 18. The inner sides of the two legs form the groove flanks 20, 22 of the receiving groove 16. The groove flanks 20, 22 run - starting from the groove base 18 - first towards one another and then diverge again in the direction of the free ends of the legs. This results in a taper 24 of the receiving groove. A holding element 26 of the fastening device 14 is located in the lower region of the receiving groove 16 between the groove base 18 and the taper 24. The holding element 26 ensures that the plate-shaped component 12 is held in the receiving groove 16 such that an end face 28 of the plate-shaped component 12 inserted into the receiving groove 16 is supported on the groove base 18 of the receiving groove 16 via the holding element 26. The holding element 26 is at the same time a kind of damping element and a spacer and in turn has a U-shape with a groove in which the plate-shaped component 12 lies in the region of its end face 28. The holding element 26 is shaped or matched to the shape of the receiving groove 16 in such a way that the plate-shaped component 12 in the mounting rail 10 can be pivoted / tilted (to a certain extent).

Auf jeder der beiden Seiten des plattenförmigen Bauteils 12 verbleibt zumindest oberhalb der Verjüngung 24 ein jeweiliger Spalt zwischen Nutflanke 20, 22 und Bauteil 12. In jedem dieser Spalte liegt ein Klemmelement 30, 32 der Befestigungsvorrichtung 14 ein. Auf der einen Seite (hier links dargestellt) liegt in dem einen Spalt das eine Klemmelement 30 und auf der anderen Seite (rechts dargestellt) liegt in dem anderen Spalt das andere Klemmelement 32 ein. Beide Klemmelemente 30, 32 weisen eine Keilform zum Verkeilen des Bauteils 12 zwischen den in diesem Bereich der Aufnahmenut 16 auseinanderlaufenden, also V-förmig verlaufenden, Nutflanken 20, 22 der Aufnahmenut 16 auf. Die Klemmelemente 30, 32 sind also als Positionierungskeile geformt. Bei jedem der keilförmigen Klemmelemente 30, 32 weist die jeweils nach außen gerichtete -also der jeweiligen Nutflanke 20, 22 zugewandte- Flanke eine leichte Wölbung nach außen auf.On each of the two sides of the plate-shaped component 12, at least above the taper 24, there is a respective gap between the groove flank 20, 22 and component 12. In each of these gaps there is a clamping element 30, 32 of the fastening device 14. On one side (shown here on the left) is the one clamping element 30 in one gap and on the other side (shown on the right) is the other clamping element 32 in the other gap. Both clamping elements 30, 32 have a wedge shape for wedging the component 12 between the groove flanks 20, 22 of the receiving groove 16 which diverge in this area of the receiving groove 16, that is to say run in a V-shape. The clamping elements 30, 32 are thus shaped as positioning wedges. In each of the wedge-shaped clamping elements 30, 32, the outward-facing flank — that is, facing the respective groove flank 20, 22 — has a slight outward curvature.

Die Befestigungsvorrichtung umfasst weiterhin noch einen biegsamen Zuganker 34 zum Positionieren zumindest eines der Klemmelemente 32. Positionieren zumindest eines Klemmelements 30, 32 heißt in diesem Zusammenhang: Verbringen dieses mindestens einen Klemmelements 30, 32 in eine Klemmposition und Halten in dieser Klemmposition, bei der das plattenförmige Bauteil 12 zwischen den Nutflanken 20, 22 der Aufnahmenut 16 verklemmt beziehungsweise verkeilt und somit befestigt ist. Der biegsame Zuganker 34 ist dabei in zumindest einer Richtung biegsam und reicht zum Halten des Klemmelements 32 beziehungsweise der Klemmelemente 30, 32 in der Klemmposition von der einen Seite des plattenförmigen Bauteils 12 um die Stirnfläche 28 des plattenförmigen Bauteils 12 herum bis zu dem Klemmelement 32 auf der der einen Seite gegenüberliegenden anderen Seite des plattenförmigen Bauteils 12 hinüber. Dort am/im Klemmelement 32 auf der anderen Seite des plattenförmigen Bauteils 12 ist der Zuganker 34 dann zugfest befestigt. Im gezeigten Beispiel weist der biegsame Zuganker 34 ein Flachband auf.The fastening device further comprises a flexible tie rod 34 for positioning at least one of the clamping elements 32. In this context, positioning at least one clamping element 30, 32 means: bringing this at least one clamping element 30, 32 into a clamping position and holding it in this clamping position, in which the plate-shaped Component 12 is clamped or wedged between the groove flanks 20, 22 of the receiving groove 16 and is thus fastened. The flexible tie rod 34 is flexible in at least one direction and extends to hold the clamping element 32 or the clamping elements 30, 32 in the clamping position from one side of the plate-shaped component 12 around the end face 28 of the plate-shaped component 12 to the clamping element 32 the other side of the plate-shaped component 12 opposite one side. There on / in the clamping element 32 on the other side of the plate-shaped Component 12, the tie rod 34 is then fastened in a tensile manner. In the example shown, the flexible tie rod 34 has a flat strip.

Um den biegsamen Zuganker 34 um die Stirnfläche 28 des plattenförmigen Bauteils 12 herumzuführen wird dieser mittels des Halteelements 26 von der einen Seite des plattenförmigen Bauteils 12 auf die andere Seite des plattenförmigen Bauteils 12 umgelenkt. Dazu wird der Zuganker 34 durch einen (nicht gezeigten) Kanal im Halteelement 26 geführt, der sich halbkreisförmig von der einen zur anderen Seite erstreckt.In order to guide the flexible tie rod 34 around the end face 28 of the plate-shaped component 12, it is deflected by means of the holding element 26 from one side of the plate-shaped component 12 to the other side of the plate-shaped component 12. For this purpose, the tie rod 34 is guided through a channel (not shown) in the holding element 26, which extends in a semicircle from one side to the other.

Mittels des biegsamen Zugankers 34 soll das Klemmelement 30 auf der einen Seite des plattenförmigen Bauteils 12 mit dem Klemmelement 32 auf der anderen Seite des plattenförmigen Bauteils 12 zugfest verbunden werden/verbunden sein. Dazu wird der Zuganker 34 auch durch einen (ebenfalls nicht gezeigten) Kanal in dem Klemmelement 30 auf der einen Seite hindurchgeführt und dann auf der dem Halteelement 26 abgewandten Seite dieses Klemmelements 30 (hier also auf der Oberseite) mittels eines nicht gezeigten Feststellmechanismus des Zugankers fixiert.By means of the flexible tie rod 34, the clamping element 30 on one side of the plate-shaped component 12 is to be connected / connected in a tensile manner to the clamping element 32 on the other side of the plate-shaped component 12. For this purpose, the tie rod 34 is also passed through a channel (also not shown) in the clamping element 30 on one side and then fixed on the side of this clamping element 30 facing away from the holding element 26 (here, therefore, on the upper side) by means of a locking mechanism (not shown) of the tie rod ,

Im gezeigten Beispiel ist der biegsame Zuganker 34 als Zuganker nach dem Ratschband-Prinzip ausgebildet. Der entsprechende Feststellmechanismus des Zugankers 34 ist dabei ein Ratschenmechanismus mit einer Sperrklinke (nicht gezeigt) und/oder ein Spindeltrieb (ebenfalls nicht gezeigt).In the example shown, the flexible tie rod 34 is designed as a tie rod based on the ratchet principle. The corresponding locking mechanism of the tie rod 34 is a ratchet mechanism with a pawl (not shown) and / or a spindle drive (also not shown).

Es ergibt sich folgende Funktion:
Zum Befestigen des plattenförmigen Bauteils 12 in der Aufnahmenut 16 der Tragschiene 10 mittels der Vorrichtung 14 werden die folgenden Schritte durchgeführt:

  1. (a) Einstecken des plattenförmigen Bauteils 12 in die Aufnahmenut16 der Tragschiene 10 bis sich eine Stirnfläche 28 des eingesteckten Bauteils 12 über das Halteelement 26 der Vorrichtung 14 am Nutgrund 18 der Aufnahmenut 16 abstützt,
  2. (b) Ausrichten des plattenförmigen Bauteils 12 durch Verschwenken/Verkippen des Bauteils in der Aufnahmenut 16,
  3. (c) Positionieren der zwei Klemmelemente 30, 32 zum Verklemmen des ausgerichteten Bauteils 12 zwischen den Nutflanken 18, 20 der Aufnahmenut 16, wobei das auf der vom Nutzer abgewandten Seite der Trageschiene 10 angeordnete Klemmelement 32 mittels des von der dem Nutzer zugewandten Seite der Tragschiene 10 bis zu diesem (auf der vom Nutzer abgewandten Seite der Trageschiene 10 angeordneten) Klemmelement 32 hinüberreichenden biegsamen Zugankers 34 positioniert wird und
  4. (d) Fixieren der Klemmelemente 30, 32 in einer der gewünschten Ausrichtung des plattenförmigen Bauteils 12 entsprechenden Klemmposition mittels des Zugankers 34.
The following function results:
The following steps are carried out for fastening the plate-shaped component 12 in the receiving groove 16 of the mounting rail 10 by means of the device 14:
  1. (a) inserting the plate-shaped component 12 into the receiving groove 16 of the mounting rail 10 until an end face 28 of the inserted component 12 is supported on the groove base 18 of the receiving groove 16 via the holding element 26 of the device 14,
  2. (b) aligning the plate-shaped component 12 by pivoting / tilting the component in the receiving groove 16,
  3. (c) Positioning the two clamping elements 30, 32 for clamping the aligned component 12 between the groove flanks 18, 20 of the receiving groove 16, the clamping element 32 arranged on the side of the mounting rail 10 facing away from the user by means of the side of the mounting rail facing the user 10 up to this (on the side facing away from the user of the support rail 10 arranged) clamping element 32 extending flexible tie rod 34 is positioned and
  4. (d) fixing the clamping elements 30, 32 in a clamping position corresponding to the desired orientation of the plate-shaped component 12 by means of the tie rod 34.

Die Figur 2 zeigt eine Darstellung der Anordnung aus Tragschiene 10, plattenförmigem Bauteil 12 sowie Befestigungsvorrichtung 14 aus einem anderen Blickwinkel. Hier ist die U-Form des Halteelements 26 klar erkennbar. Auch die Plattenebene des plattenförmigen Bauteils 12 beziehungsweise die Längserstreckung der Tragschiene ist gezeigt.The Figure 2 shows a representation of the arrangement of mounting rail 10, plate-shaped component 12 and fastening device 14 from a different perspective. Here the U-shape of the holding element 26 is clearly recognizable. The plate plane of the plate-shaped component 12 or the longitudinal extent of the mounting rail is also shown.

Zum einfachen Befestigen des plattenförmigen Bauteils 12 in der Aufnahmenut 16 der Tragschiene 10 ist weiterhin ein (nicht gezeigtes) Werkzeug zum Vorspannen der Klemmelemente30, 32 vorgesehen. Dabei ist das Werkzeug bevorzugt hebelartig, insbesondere kapselheberartig, also ähnlich einem Flaschenöffner, ausgebildet. Dabei stützt man das Werkzeug einerseits am Klemmelement 30 auf der einen Seite des Bauteils 12 ab um einen auf dieser Seite vorhandenen Abschnitt des flexiblen Zugankers 34 anzuziehen/anzuheben um ihn so vorzuspannen. Da ja mit Hilfe des Zugankers 34 die Klemmposition der Klemmelemente 30, 32 fixiert werden soll wird für dieses Fixieren ein Feststellmechanismus benötigt. Dieser Feststellmechanismus kann beispielsweise der erwähnte Ratschenmechanismus mit einer Sperrklinke sein. Dabei ergeben sich diskret gestufte Feststellmöglichkeiten.For simple fastening of the plate-shaped component 12 in the receiving groove 16 of the mounting rail 10, a tool (not shown) for prestressing the clamping elements 30, 32 is also provided. The tool is preferably designed like a lever, in particular like a bottle opener, in other words similar to a bottle opener. The tool is supported on the one hand on the clamping element 30 on one side of the component 12 in order to tighten / raise a section of the flexible tie rod 34 present on this side in order to pre-tension it. Since the clamping position of the clamping elements 30, 32 is to be fixed with the aid of the tie rod 34, a locking mechanism is required for this fixing. This locking mechanism can be for example the mentioned ratchet mechanism with a pawl. This results in discretely graded locking options.

Es ergibt sich also insgesamt der folgende Vorteil:
Die genannten Maßnahmen ermöglichen ein einfaches und sicheres Befestigen des plattenförmigen Bauteils 12 in der Aufnahmenut 16 der Tragschiene 10, das von einer Seite des in die Aufnahmenut 16 eingesetzten plattenförmigen Bauteils 12 erfolgen kann. Diese Seite ist bei der Beschreibung der gezeigten Ausführungsform "die eine Seite" genannt. Ein Befestigen des plattenförmigen Bauteils 12 in der Aufnahmenut 16 der Tragschiene 10, das von einer Seite des in die Aufnahmenut 16 eingesetzten plattenförmigen Bauteils 12 erfolgen kann, ist insbesondere beim entsprechenden Befestigen einer Glasplatte einer Glasbalustrade von Vorteil.The overall advantage is as follows:
The measures mentioned enable simple and secure fastening of the plate-shaped component 12 in the receiving groove 16 of the mounting rail 10, which can take place from one side of the plate-shaped component 12 inserted into the receiving groove 16. This page is called "one side" in the description of the embodiment shown. Fastening the plate-shaped component 12 in the receiving groove 16 of the mounting rail 10, which can take place from one side of the plate-shaped component 12 inserted into the receiving groove 16, is particularly advantageous when a glass plate of a glass balustrade is appropriately fastened.

Die Figuren 3 und 4 zeigen eine Anordnung aus einer Tragschiene 10, einem plattenförmigen Bauteil 12 und einer alternativ ausgestalteten Befestigungsvorrichtung 14 zum Befestigen des Bauteils 12 in der Tragschiene 10. Der generelle Aufbau der in den Figuren 3 und 4 gezeigten Befestigungsvorrichtung 14 stimmt mit dem der in den Figuren 1 und 2 gezeigten Befestigungsvorrichtung 14 grundsätzlich überein, sodass im Folgenden nur auf die Unterschiede eingegangen werden soll.The Figures 3 and 4 show an arrangement of a mounting rail 10, a plate-shaped component 12 and an alternatively designed fastening device 14 for mounting the component 12 in the mounting rail 10. The general structure of the in the Figures 3 and 4 Fastening device 14 shown coincides with that in FIGS Figures 1 and 2 shown fastening device 14 basically so that only the differences will be discussed in the following.

Das Halteelement 26 der in den Figuren 3 und 4 dargestellten Befestigungsvorrichtung 14 ist zweiteilig ausgebildet. Die Figur 3 zeigt die entsprechende Situation in einer Frontaldarstellung. Das eine dieser Teile 36 bildet die äußere Grundform des Halteelements 26, wie sie aus den Figuren 1 und 2 bereits bekannt ist, also eine U-Form mit einer Nut, in der das montierte plattenförmige Bauteil 12 im Bereich seiner Stirnfläche 28 einliegt. Das andere dieser Teile 38 ist keilförmig ausgebildet und lässt sich auf der einen Seite zwischen das plattenförmige Bauteil 12 und den entsprechenden Schenkel der U-Form des einen Teils 36 einschieben. Dabei bildet das eine Teil 36 eine Führung für das andere Teil 38. Durch das Einschieben des keilförmigen anderen Teils 38 spreizen sich die Schenkel des einen Teils 36 und die beiden Teile 36, 38 sowie das plattenförmige Bauteil 12 sind schließlich am Nutgrund 18 miteinander verklemmt.The holding element 26 in the Figures 3 and 4 Fastening device 14 shown is formed in two parts. The Figure 3 shows the corresponding situation in a front view. One of these parts 36 forms the outer basic shape of the holding element 26, as shown in FIG Figures 1 and 2 is already known, ie a U-shape with a groove, in which the assembled plate-shaped component 12 lies in the region of its end face 28. The other of these parts 38 is wedge-shaped and can be inserted on one side between the plate-shaped component 12 and the corresponding leg of the U-shape of one part 36. there one part 36 forms a guide for the other part 38. By inserting the wedge-shaped other part 38, the legs of one part 36 spread and the two parts 36, 38 and the plate-shaped component 12 are finally clamped together at the groove base 18.

Es ergeben sich folgende Änderungen gegenüber den im Zusammenhang mit den Figuren 1 und 2 beschriebenen Schritten zum Befestigen des plattenförmigen Bauteils 12 in der Aufnahmenut 16 der Tragschiene 10 mittels der Vorrichtung 14:

  • (a) Einstecken des plattenförmigen Bauteils 12 in die Aufnahmenut16 der Tragschiene 10 bis sich eine Stirnfläche 28 des eingesteckten Bauteils 12 über das eine Teil 36 des Halteelements 26 der Vorrichtung 14 am Nutgrund 18 der Aufnahmenut 16 abstützt,
  • (a1) Einbringen des anderen Teils 38 in eine Lücke zwischen dem plattenförmigen Bauteil 12 und dem entsprechenden Schenkel der U-Form des einen Teils 36,
  • (b) Ausrichten des plattenförmigen Bauteils 12 durch Verschwenken/Verkippen des Bauteils 12 in der Aufnahmenut 16,
  • (b1) Verklemmen der Teile 36, 38 und des plattenförmigen Bauteils 12 am Nutgrund 18 der Aufnahmenut 16 durch ein Verkeilen.
The following changes compared to those in connection with the Figures 1 and 2 Steps described for fastening the plate-shaped component 12 in the receiving groove 16 of the mounting rail 10 by means of the device 14:
  • (a) inserting the plate-shaped component 12 into the receiving groove 16 of the mounting rail 10 until an end face 28 of the inserted component 12 is supported by a part 36 of the holding element 26 of the device 14 on the groove base 18 of the receiving groove 16,
  • (a1) inserting the other part 38 into a gap between the plate-shaped component 12 and the corresponding leg of the U-shape of the one part 36,
  • (b) aligning the plate-shaped component 12 by pivoting / tilting the component 12 in the receiving groove 16,
  • (b1) jamming of the parts 36, 38 and the plate-shaped component 12 on the groove base 18 of the receiving groove 16 by wedging.

Ein weiterer Unterschied zu der in den Figuren 1 und 2 gezeigten Ausgestaltung der Vorrichtung 14 ergibt sich bei den Klemmelementen 30, 32. Jedes der in den Figuren 3 und 4 gezeigten Klemmelemente 30, 32 weist zwei zwischen dem plattenförmigen Bauteil 12 und der entsprechenden Nutflanke 20, 22 miteinander verklemmbare Komponenten 40, 42 auf.Another difference from that in the Figures 1 and 2 Design of the device 14 shown results in the clamping elements 30, 32. Each of the in the Figures 3 and 4 The clamping elements 30, 32 shown have two components 40, 42 which can be clamped together between the plate-shaped component 12 and the corresponding groove flank 20, 22.

Die jeweils eine dieser Komponenten 40 ist für ein Anliegen an der entsprechenden Nutflanke 20, 22 vorgesehen, die andere dieser Komponenten 42 für ein Anliegen an der entsprechenden Seite des plattenförmigen Bauteils 12. Die Keilform jedes der Klemmelemente 30, 32 wird im Wesentlichen von der jeweils anderen Komponente 42 hervorgerufen/bestimmt. Die jeweils eine Komponente 40 weist eine eher plattenförmige Grundform mit einer Struktur 44 für eine formschlüssige Verbindung mit einer entsprechenden Gegenstruktur 46 an der Nutflanke 20, 22 auf, über die sie an dieser Nutflanke 20, 22 angeheftet bzw. befestigt werden kann. Die Strukturen 44 der einen Komponente 40 sind im gezeigten Beispiel Stegstrukturen und die in den Nutflanken ausgebildeten Gegenstrukturen 46 sind sich in Längsrichtung der Tragschiene 10 erstreckende Nuten.One of each of these components 40 is provided for abutment on the corresponding groove flank 20, 22, the other of these components 42 for abutment on the corresponding side of the plate-shaped component 12. The wedge shape of each of the clamping elements 30, 32 is essentially determined by the respective one other component 42 caused / determined. The each a component 40 has a more plate-like basic shape with a structure 44 for a positive connection with a corresponding counter structure 46 on the groove flank 20, 22, via which it can be attached or fastened to this groove flank 20, 22. The structures 44 of the one component 40 are web structures in the example shown and the counter structures 46 formed in the groove flanks are grooves extending in the longitudinal direction of the mounting rail 10.

Ähnlich wie bei den Teilen des Halteelements 26 ergibt sich auch bei den Klemmelementen 30, 32 eine Führung der jeweils einen Komponente 40 für die Klemmbewegung der jeweils anderen Komponente 42.Similar to the parts of the holding element 26, the clamping elements 30, 32 also result in guidance of the one component 40 for the clamping movement of the other component 42.

Die Komponenten 40, 42 jedes der Klemmelemente 30, 32 bilden eine zwischen den beiden Komponenten 40, 42 befindliche (nicht gezeigte) Raststruktur zum Fixieren der Position der Komponenten 40, 42 relativ zueinander. Die Raststruktur beruht beispielsweise auf dem Ratschenmechanismus. Dabei weist die erste der Komponenten 40, 42 mindestens eine Sperrklinke und die zweite der Komponenten 42, 40 die entsprechenden Strukturen für einen Eingriff der Sperrklinke auf.The components 40, 42 of each of the clamping elements 30, 32 form a locking structure (not shown) located between the two components 40, 42 for fixing the position of the components 40, 42 relative to one another. The locking structure is based, for example, on the ratchet mechanism. The first of the components 40, 42 has at least one pawl and the second of the components 42, 40 has the corresponding structures for engagement of the pawl.

Die Figur 4 zeigt eine Darstellung der Anordnung aus Fig. 3 aus einem anderen Blickwinkel.The Figure 4 shows a representation of the arrangement Fig. 3 from a different perspective.

Es ergeben sich folgende Änderungen gegenüber den im Zusammenhang mit den Figuren 1 und 2 beschriebenen Schritten zum Fixieren des plattenförmigen Bauteils 12 in der Tragschiene 10 mittels der Vorrichtung 14:

  • (b2) Befestigen der jeweils einen Komponente 40 der Klemmelemente 30, 32 an der jeweiligen Nutflanke 20, 22 über die zugehörige Struktur/Gegenstruktur 44, 46.
  • (c) Positionieren der zwei anderen Komponenten 42 der Klemmelemente 30, 32 zum Verklemmen des ausgerichteten Bauteils 12 zwischen den Nutflanken 18, 20 der Aufnahmenut 16, wobei die andere Komponente 42 des auf der vom Nutzer abgewandten Seite der Trageschiene 10 angeordneten Klemmelements 32 mittels des von der dem Nutzer zugewandten Seite der Tragschiene 10 bis zu diesem (auf der vom Nutzer abgewandten Seite der Trageschiene 10 angeordneten) Klemmelement 32 hinüberreichenden biegsamen Zugankers 34 positioniert wird und
  • (d) automatisches Fixieren der beiden Klemmelemente 30, 32 in einer der gewünschten Ausrichtung des plattenförmigen Bauteils 12 entsprechenden Klemmposition mittels der jeweiligen (hier im Beispiel auf dem Ratschenmechanismus beruhenden) Raststruktur.
The following changes compared to those in connection with the Figures 1 and 2 Steps described for fixing the plate-shaped component 12 in the mounting rail 10 by means of the device 14:
  • (b2) Attaching the one component 40 of the clamping elements 30, 32 to the respective groove flank 20, 22 via the associated structure / counter structure 44, 46.
  • (c) Positioning the two other components 42 of the clamping elements 30, 32 for clamping the aligned component 12 between the groove flanks 18, 20 of the receiving groove 16, the other component 42 of the clamping element 32 arranged on the side of the support rail 10 facing away from the user by means of the is positioned from the side of the support rail 10 facing the user up to this flexible tie rod 34 (which is arranged on the side of the support rail 10 facing away from the user) and
  • (d) automatic fixing of the two clamping elements 30, 32 in a clamping position corresponding to the desired orientation of the plate-shaped component 12 by means of the respective locking structure (based here on the ratchet mechanism in the example).

Der biegsame Zuganker 34 wird bei dieser Ausführungsform der Befestigungsvorrichtung 14 nur zum Positionieren der Klemmelemente 30, 32 bzw. der Komponenten dieser Klemmelemente 30, 32 genutzt während das Fixieren der Klemmelemente 30, 32 auf andere Weise erfolgt.The flexible tie rod 34 is used in this embodiment of the fastening device 14 only for positioning the clamping elements 30, 32 or the components of these clamping elements 30, 32 while the fixing of the clamping elements 30, 32 takes place in a different way.

Dies hat zur Folge, dass der biegsame Zuganker 34 bei dieser Ausführungsform der Befestigungsvorrichtung 14 am Ende des Befestigungsprozesses des plattenförmigen Bauteils 12 in der Aufnahmenut 16 der Tragschiene 10 nicht mehr benötigt wird und entfernt werden kann.As a result, the flexible tie rod 34 in this embodiment of the fastening device 14 at the end of the fastening process of the plate-shaped component 12 in the receiving groove 16 of the mounting rail 10 is no longer required and can be removed.

Gemäß einer hier nicht gezeigten weiteren Ausführungsform weist der biegsame Zuganker dazu eine Sollbruchstelle auf, die derart ausgebildet ist, dass sich der biegsame Zuganker bei Überschreiten einer vordefinierten Zugbelastung an dieser Stelle auftrennt (z.B. abreißt). Die vordefinierte Zugbelastung ist dabei so dimensioniert, dass zuvor eine hinreichende Klemmkraft der Klemmelemente 30, 32 erreicht wird. Der an einem Befestigungspunkt am/im Klemmelement 32 auf der anderen Seite des plattenförmigen Bauteils 12 zugfest befestigte Zuganker 34 weist die Sollbruchstelle beispielsweise im Bereich dieses Befestigungspunktes auf. Auf diese Weise verbleibt nach der Befestigung des plattenförmigen Bauteils 12 kein oder ein kaum sichtbarer Rest des Zugankers 34.According to a further embodiment, not shown here, the flexible tie rod has a predetermined breaking point, which is designed such that the flexible tie rod separates at this point (for example, tears off) when a predefined tensile load is exceeded. The predefined tensile load is dimensioned such that a sufficient clamping force of the clamping elements 30, 32 is achieved beforehand. The tie rod 34, which is fastened at a fastening point on / in the clamping element 32 on the other side of the plate-shaped component 12, has the predetermined breaking point, for example in the region of this fastening point on. In this way, after the plate-shaped component 12 has been fastened, no or only a barely visible remainder of the tie rod 34 remains.
