AUSTRALIA Patents Act COMPLETE SPECIFICATION (ORIGINAL) Class Int. Class Application Number: Lodged: Complete Specification Lodged: Accepted: Published: Priority Related Art: Name of Applicant: Uvex Arbeitsschutz GmbH Actual Inventor(s): Manfred Schuster Address for Service and Correspondence: PHILLIPS ORMONDE FITZPATRICK Patent and Trade Mark Attorneys 367 Collins Street Melbourne 3000 AUSTRALIA Invention Title: INTERIOR EQUIPMENT FOR A HELMET Our Ref: 955407 POF Code: 1611/307228 The following statement is a full description of this invention, including the best method of performing it known to applicant(s): 6006q 2 INTERIOR EQUIPMENT FOR A HELMET This application claims priority from German Application No. 10 2011 084 467.8 filed on 13 October 2011, the contents of which are to be taken as 5 incorporated herein by this reference. The invention relates to an interior equipment for a helmet, in particular a work safety helmet, and to a helmet with an interior equipment of this type. 10 A safety helmet with a helmet crown serving to protect the skull and an interior equipment intended for resting on the head of the helmet wearer is disclosed in DE 100 29 970 B4. Glasses may be fastened to the interior equipment. 15 The above discussion of background art is included to explain the context of the present invention. It is not to be taken as an admission that any of the documents or other material referred to was published, known or part of the common general knowledge in Australia at the priority date of any one of the claims of this specification. 20 A desirable outcome of the present invention is to provide an improved interior equipment for a helmet, in particular a work safety helmet, in such a way that a fastening of glasses, in particular safety glasses, to the interior equipment is improved. 25 Another desirable outcome of the present invention is to provide an improved helmet in such a way that a fastening of glasses thereto is facilitated and in particular, the wearing comfort of the helmet is improved.

-3 Throughout the description and claims of this specification, the word "comprise" and variations of that word, such as "comprising" and "comprises" are not intended to exclude other additives, steps or integers. 5 An aspect of the present invention is to provide an interior equipment for a helmet, in particular a work safety helmet, in such a way that a fastening of glasses, in particular safety glasses, to the interior equipment is improved. This aspect is achieved by an interior equipment having a slide, which 10 serves for fastening glasses, in particular safety glasses, in the central region of the nose pad thereof. Owing to the central fastening, the slide may be fastened to the glasses, in particular in a visually unobtrusive manner. In particular, the aesthetic effect of the glasses is not impaired by the fastening of the slide. In particular, an interior equipment of this type 15 allows the fastening of, for example, standard glasses, such as work safety glasses, sunglasses or a visor, so that a helmet with this lining can be fitted out or retrofitted with an eye protector rapidly, uncomplicatedly and, in particular, flexibly. An interior equipment of this type can also be used in a motorcycle helmet, in particular a jet helmet. Since the glasses are 20 connected directly to the interior equipment, a direct use of the glasses on the head is possible. This prevents unprotected regions remaining between an outer helmet shell and the glasses, representing a risk of injury to the person wearing the helmet. Since the glasses are not fastened directly to the helmet shell, but connected indirectly by means of the interior equipment 25 to the helmet shell, the effects of force on the helmet shell, for example in the form of impacts from being hit by a stone are damped by the interior equipment. As a result, in particular the danger of the glasses slipping may be reduced. As the glasses are fastened to the helmet shell by means of the interior equipment, it is possible to simultaneously put on and take off and -4 wear the helmet with the glasses. The helmet and the glasses fastened thereto form a unit. The handling of a helmet with an interior equipment of this type is simplified and more comfortable. In particular, it is not necessary to put on and take off a plurality of items one after the other. A 5 helmet with an interior equipment of this type may, for example, rapidly be put on in an emergency situation. An interior equipment with a slide have a longitudinal opening extending along a longitudinal axis allows an uncomplicated and rapid height 10 adjustment of the slide. An interior equipment such that the longitudinal opening has an assembly portion and a height adjustment portion, a first width of the assembly portion oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal axis being larger than a 15 second width of the height adjustment portion oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, allows a rapid and uncomplicated assembly and height adjustment of the slide. In particular, a height adjustment portion may have a plurality of latching projections arranged along the longitudinal axis opposing pair-wise in such a way that a spacing oriented perpendicular to 20 the longitudinal axis between two opposing latching recesses is smaller than the width of the height adjustment portion. An interior equipment of this type allows a defined and, in particular, a particularly secure fixing of a desired height adjustment position of the slide to the interior equipment. 25 An interior equipment, in which the slide is releasably fastened to the interior equipment, allows removal of the slide from the interior equipment, for example, when it is not necessary to fasten the glasses, in particular for technical safety reasons. If the slide is found to be disturbing, in particular for aesthetic reasons or possible impairment of the field of -5 vision of a person, it can be removed. As soon as the fastening of the safety glasses is necessary again, the slide can be fastened to the interior equipment again. 5 An interior equipment, in which the slide has a hook for hooking in the glasses, allows a fastening of the glasses which is uncomplicated and can be carried out rapidly, in particular. An interior equipment, in which the hook has a support web for placing the 10 glasses, in particular with the nose pad thereof, and a holding web for holding the glasses on the support web, allows secure fastening of the glasses to the slide. In particular, a hook of the slide is implemented corresponding to a nose pad of the glasses. 15 An interior equipment, in which support web is V-shaped, the holding web formed on the support web, in particular in one piece, closing the opening of the V, at least partially, allows a secure fastening of the glasses to the hook and, in particular, prevents an unintended release of the glasses from the slide. An interior equipment of this type is advantageous, in particular 20 for a helmet, in which increased and/or frequently occurring impact effects are possible. A release of the glasses from the interior equipment is also ruled out in the case of great and/or frequent impact loading. An interior equipment, in which the hook is configured in such a way that 25 it encompasses the glasses on a front side that faces away from the person, allows a secure and in particular aesthetically advantageous fastening of the glasses, as it does not impair the aesthetic effect of the glasses. Since a hook encompasses the glasses on a front side that faces away from the -6 person, the hook is visually perceived as a component of the glasses. An observer perceives the glasses as an integral component of the helmet. An interior equipment, in which the strip-like slide has a stability portion 5 with an increased strip thickness, allows a particularly robust fastening of the glasses to the interior equipment. Since the slide is strip-like and has a stability portion with an increased strip thickness, an increased stability of the slide is provided, in particular, in the stability portion. A failure of the slide, for example by breaking as a result of outer effects, is less probable, 10 in particular in this stability portion. An interior equipment, in which the slide is height-adjustable on the interior equipment, allows improved handling. In particular, owing to the height adjustability, it is possible to individually adapt the height position 15 of the glasses relative to the interior equipment and/or relative to the head of a person. An individual adaptation may, for example, be necessary because of different head geometries and, in particular a height position of the eyes on the head. Moreover, an individual height adjustment by means of the slide may be necessary as a result of the size, in particular the height, 20 of the glasses. An interior equipment, including at least one fastening element for the assembly and height adjustment of the slide on the interior equipment, allows an uncomplicated and direct fastening of the slide to the interior 25 equipment, at least one fastening element being provided for assembly and also for the height adjustment of the slide on the interior equipment. It is, for example, possible for precisely one fastening element to be provided, so that, apart from the assembly and height adjustment of the slide, a rotation of the slide about a centre longitudinal axis of the fastening element -7 oriented perpendicular to the slide is also possible. The fastening element acts as a hinge in this case. This hinge function is, in particular, advantageous when the helmet slips on the head of the person and an original position of the glasses relative to the head is to be produced again 5 rapidly and uncomplicatedly. The glasses may, in particular, be oriented relative to the eyes, without it being necessary to take off the helmet. It is also possible to provide at least two fastening elements, which are oriented, in particular, parallel to the longitudinal axis of the longitudinal opening of the slide. Apart from the assembly and height adjustment of the slide, the 10 fastening elements have a guide function along the longitudinal axis. In particular, unintended and undesired tiltings of the glasses on the interior equipment, for example during a height adjustment of the glasses, can be ruled out. 15 An interior equipment, in which the fastening element is configured as a head bolt and, in particular, extends perpendicularly along a centre longitudinal axis away from the interior equipment, has a height adjustment part facing the interior equipment and an assembly part that faces away from the interior equipment, allows a double function of the fastening 20 element for assembly and height adjustment of the slide in a particularly uncomplicated manner. The fastening element is implemented in the form of a head bolt with a height adjustment part and an assembly part, the height adjustment part, in particular, having a width, which is reduced relative to the assembly part and oriented perpendicular to a centre 25 longitudinal axis of the head bolt. It is thus possible to attach the slide via the assembly part of the fastening element and to adjust it with respect to height by displacing the slide along the longitudinal axis of the longitudinal opening on the height adjustment part of the fastening element. The fastening element may, for example, also be configured as a screw with an -8 external thread, which, in particular, is screwed into a corresponding internal thread on the interior equipment. It is thus possible, for example, to clamp the slide in its height position on the interior equipment with the screw head. It is also possible for the screw to be configured as a self 5 cutting screw, so a corresponding internal thread is not necessary on the interior equipment. An interior equipment, in which the height adjustment part of the fastening element has a third width oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal axis in 10 such a way that the fastening element is fixed with the height adjustment part on the height adjustment portion of the longitudinal opening, allows a secured and, in particular, clamping arrangement of the height adjustable slide on the interior equipment in a desired height position. In this case, the width of the longitudinal opening may, for example, be slightly smaller 15 than a width of the height adjustment part of the fastening element, so the slide is fixed in a clamping manner on the fastening element. A stepless height adjustment of the slide on the interior equipment is possible, in particular, owing to this clamping hold as a result of the undersize configuration of the longitudinal opening relative to the fastening element. 20 It is also possible for the longitudinal opening to have a spacing oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal axis between two opposing latching projections, which spacing is smaller than a second width of the height adjustment portion and which is smaller than a third width of the height adjustment part of the fastening element, so the fastening element is held 25 along the longitudinal axis of the longitudinal opening relative to the pairs of latching recesses arranged opposing. An interior equipment, in which the slide is configured in two parts, with a slide upper part for fastening on the interior equipment and a slide lower -9 part for holding the glasses, allows an increased variability and flexibility in the connection of various glasses to the interior equipment. The slide is configured in two parts and has a slide upper part for fastening to the interior equipment and a slide lower part for fastening to the glasses. The 5 slide upper part is connected so as to latch together with the slide lower part but to be releasable again. As a result, it is possible for example, to provide a plurality of slide lower parts for one slide upper part, each slide lower part being configured in such a way that different glasses, such as, for example, sunglasses, safety glasses or welding goggles, can be fastened 10 thereto. For this purpose, the slide lower parts may, in each case, have various hooks or other fastening means for fastening the corresponding glasses. However, the slide lower parts are in each case configured identically with a connecting means for connecting to the slide upper part. In particular, it is possible to preassemble the slide lower parts with the 15 respective glasses, so that when the glasses are changed, the respective glasses with the associated slide lower parts can be exchanged. As a result, the change of glasses is simplified. In particular, the slide upper part and the slide lower part can be connected to one another by a latch-clip connection. 20 A further aspect of the present invention is to provide a helmet in such a way that a fastening of glasses thereto is facilitated and in particular, the wearing comfort of the helmet is improved. 25 This aspect is achieved by a helmet with an outer helmet shell and an interior equipment fastened to the outer helmet shell according to the invention. The advantages of a helmet of this type correspond to the advantages of the interior equipment according to the invention, to which reference is hereby made.

- 10 Further features, advantages and details of the invention emerge from the following description of two embodiments with the aid of the figures in the drawings. 5 Fig. 1 shows a perspective view of a helmet with a first embodiment of an interior equipment according to the invention with a slide and glasses fastened thereto, 10 Fig. 2 shows a perspective exploded view of the interior equipment and the glasses according to Fig. 1, Fig. 3 shows an exploded view corresponding to Fig. 2 of a part of the interior equipment and the glasses, 15 Fig. 4 shows a perspective view of a slide according to a second embodiment with glasses fastened thereto and Fig. 5 shows an exploded view of the slide corresponding to Fig. 4. 20 A helmet 1 shown in Fig. I to 3 is configured as a work safety helmet and has an outer helmet shell 2 and an interior equipment 3 fastened to the outer helmet shell 2 according to a first embodiment of the invention. 25 The outer helmet shell 2 is, in particular, produced from a hard and impact resistant material and, in particular, from a robust plastics material. The outer helmet shell 2 has a front visor 4 extending radially away from the forehead of a person wearing the helmet 1 and a neck protector 5 arranged opposing the visor 4 on the helmet 1. The neck protector 5 is an extension - 11 of the outer helmet shell 2 over the rear skull region to the neck of the person. The visor 4 and the neck protector 5 are, in particular, formed in one piece on the outer helmet shell 2. 5 The lining 3 is multi-part and has a carrier shell 6 connected directly to the outer helmet shell 2. The carrier shell 6 has a plurality of leg-shaped connecting webs 7 extending downward in a curved manner. The carrier shell 6 is also called a head spider. 10 A headband 8 is connected to the carrier shell 6. The headband 8 is configured as an adjusting strap and is used, in particular, for adapting the interior equipment 3 to the head circumference of the helmet wearer. The headband 8 has a total of four webs 9, with which the headband 8 is fastened to the carrier shell 6 on one respective connecting web 7. The 15 headband 8 is configured in two parts and has a headband front part 10 facing the visor 4 and a headband rear part 11 facing the neck protector 5. To adjust the circumference of the headband 8, the headband front part 10 has a longitudinal groove 12, which is directed along the circumferential direction of the headband 8, with a plurality of latching elements 13, which 20 cooperate with a holding part, not shown in more detail, provided on the headband rear part 11 in such a way that the circumference of the headband 8 can be adjusted to latch in various latching positions. The webs 9 have a slot-like recess 14 and a latching portion 15, so a variable fastening of the headband 8 on the carrier shell 6 along the recess 14 is possible by means 25 of a latching head 16 of the carrier shell 6. For this purpose, the latching head 16 is guided through the recess 14 in the web 9, the headband 8 being held in a latching manner by means of the latching portion 15 on the connecting web 7 of the carrier shell 6. An adjustment path of up to 15 mm for adapting the interior equipment 3 to a head height of the user is - 12 possible, in particular, by means of the slot-like configuration of the recess 14. In order to additionally improve the wearing comfort of the helmet 1, 5 padding, not shown, may be provided, which, in particular, is attached to an inside of the interior equipment 3 that faces away from the helmet shell 2 for placing on the head of the person. It is also possible for the padding to be connected in one piece to the interior equipment 3 and, in particular, to the headband 8. The padding is, in particular, produced from foamed 10 plastics material. A slide fastening with a holding plate 17 and two fastening elements 18, 1 8a formed thereon in one piece, is provided in a central front region of the headband front part 10, in particular centrally, with respect to a tangential 15 circumferential direction of the headband 8, between the two webs 9. The lining 3 furthermore comprises a slide 19. The slide 19 is used to fasten glasses 20 to the interior equipment 3. The glasses 20 are, in particular, configured as safety glasses and have two eyeglasses 21 and a 20 nose pad 22 arranged between the eyeglasses 21 and two arms 23. The slide 19 allows the glasses 20 to be fastened centrally in the region of the nose pad 22 thereof. The slide 19 has a hook 24 for hooking the glasses 20 with the nose pad 22. 25 The hook 24 has a lower support web 25 for placing the glasses 20 with an upper end of the nose pad 22 and a holding web 26 to hold the glasses 20 on the support web 25. The support web 25 is V-shaped. The holding web 26 is formed on the support web 25, in particular in one piece, in such a way that the opening of the V of the support web 25 is at least partially - 13 closed. The holding web 26 projects into the opening of the V of the support web 25. The hook 24 is configured in such a way that it encompasses the glasses 20 on the nose pad 22 on a front side 27 that faces away from the person. 5 The slide 19 is made of plastics material and, in particular of transparent plastics material, so the aesthetic effect of the safety glasses 20 to be fastened is not aesthetically impaired, or only insignificantly, by the slide 19. 10 The slide 19 is strip-like and has a stability portion 28, which, in particular, compared to the remaining portions of the slide 19 and, in particular compared to the hook 24, has an increased strip thickness. Strip thickness is taken to mean the extent of the strip perpendicular to a plane fixed by the 15 strip. The hook 24 is, in particular, resiliently deformable. This may take place, for example, in that the strip is produced from a resilient, reversibly deformable plastics material. Moreover, the resilient deformability of the 20 hook 24 is made possible by a reduced strip thickness, which is, in particular, less than 2.0 mm, in particular less than 1.5 mm and, in particular, less than 1.0 mm. The slide 19 has a longitudinal opening 30 extending along a longitudinal 25 axis 29. The longitudinal opening 30 has an assembly portion 31 with a first width b, oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 29 and arranged parallel to the strip plane and a height adjustment portion 32 with a second width b 2 oriented parallel to the first width bl. The second width b 2 of the height adjustment portion 32 is oriented perpendicular to the - 14 longitudinal axis 29 and arranged parallel to the strip plane. The first width b, is 9 mm and is greater than the second width b 2 , which is 5 mm. In particular there applies: b, 1.2 - b 2 , in particular b, 2 1.5 - b 2 and in particular b, 2 2.0 - b 2 . 5 It is possible for the height adjustment portion 32 to have a plurality of latching projections, not shown, arranged along the longitudinal axis 29, opposing pair-wise in such a way that a spacing oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 29 between two opposing latching projections is 10 smaller than the second width b 2 of the height adjustment portion 32. The assembly portion 31 has a length l oriented parallel to the longitudinal axis 29 of 15 mm, which is smaller than a length 12 of the height adjustment portion 32, which is oriented parallel to the longitudinal axis 29, which is 15 50 mm. In particular there applies: 12 is 2 2 l, in particular 12 > 3 - 11 and in particular 12 4 ' li. Thus, a region of the height adjustment of the slide 19 on the interior equipment 3 is enlarged. Provided between the height adjustment portion 32 and the assembly 20 portion 31 is a transition region 33, within which the first width bi is linearly reduced to the second width b 2 along the longitudinal axis 29. Other, in particular non-linear transitions are also possible between the two widths bi, b 2 . In particular, it is possible for no transition portion to be provided and an abrupt transition to be provided between the widths bi, b 2 25 The two fastening elements 18, 18a formed in one piece on the holding plate 17 are used to assemble and adjust the height of the slide 19 on the interior equipment 3. The fastening elements 18, 18a have a vertical spacing A from one another, which is oriented parallel to the longitudinal - 15 axis 29. The spacing A is greater than the first length li of the assembly portion 31. It is not possible to guide the two fastening elements 18, 18a through the assembly portion 31 of the slide 19. In a first fastening variant, it is thereby ensured that only the lower fastening element 18a engages in 5 the longitudinal opening 30 and is therefore used to fasten the slide 19 on the interior equipment 3. In particular in this fastening variant, the lower fastening element 18a has a hinge function. A centre longitudinal axis 34 of the lower fastening element 18a then forms a pivot axis about which the slide 19 can be pivoted. When the helmet I is put on crookedly, the glasses 10 20 fastened to the slide 19 can be worn correctly. Moreover, because of the preferably pivotable mounting of the slide 19, an undesired force transmission to the glasses 20 is substantially suppressed only by means of the lower fastening element 18a upon an impact on the helmet 1. 15 The centre longitudinal axes 34 of the fastening elements 18, 18a in each case extend perpendicularly from the holding plate 17 of the interior equipment 3, i.e. the fastening elements 18, 18a extend perpendicularly from the interior equipment 3. The centre longitudinal axes 34 are oriented perpendicular to the strip plane of the slide 19. Along the centre 20 longitudinal axis 34, the fastening elements 18, 18a have a height adjustment part 35 or 35a facing the interior equipment 3 and an assembly part 36 or 36a that faces away from the interior equipment 3. The height adjustment part 35, 35a has a third width b 3 oriented perpendicular to the centre longitudinal axis 34 in such a way that the fastening element 18 or 25 18a is fixed by the height adjustment part 35, 35a on the height adjustment portion 32 of the longitudinal opening 30. The height adjustment part 35a of the lower fastening element 18a according to Fig. 2 and 3 has a round cross section perpendicular to the - 16 centre longitudinal axis 34. The third width b 3 corresponds to the diameter of the height adjustment part 35a and is 3.5 mm. It is also possible for the second width b 2 to be smaller than the third width 5 b 3 and for there to apply, in particular: b 2 5 0.9 b 3 , in particular b 2 5 0.98 ' b 3 and in particular b 2 : 0.95 - b 3 . The slide 19 is then held in a clamping manner on the interior equipment 3. A height adjustment of the slide 19 along the longitudinal axis 29 in the region of the height adjustment portion 32 is simultaneously possible. In addition, it is possible for the slide 19, in 10 particular because of the round cross section of the height adjustment part 35a of the lower fastening element 18a, to be rotatable on the fastening element 18a about the centre longitudinal axis 34. The lower fastening element 18a thus has the already mentioned hinge function. On the assembly portion 31, the slide 19 can be removed from the lower fastening 15 element 18a. The slide 19 is releasably fastened to the interior equipment 3. The height adjustment part 35a of the lower fastening element 18a has a depth oriented along the centre longitudinal axis 34, which is greater than a strip thickness of the slide 19 in the region of the longitudinal opening 30, 20 in particular in the region of the height adjustment portion 32. As a result, the clamping fixing of the slide 19 on the fastening element 18a is reinforced. The clamping effect of the fixing can be adjusted in a targeted manner by the use of a screw of the fastening element 18a by varying a screw-in depth into the interior equipment 3. It is also possible for the 25 depth of the height adjustment part 35a to be substantially identical with the strip thickness. In this case, the guiding of the slide 19 during the height adjustment on the interior equipment 3 is improved. The existing dimension details and configurations may, in particular, also be provided for the upper fastening element 18 and its height adjustment part 35.

- 17 It is also possible for the assembly portion 31 to be configured in such a way that the first length l is greater than the spacing A, so that the slide 19 is simultaneously fastened to the two fastening elements 18, 18a. This is a 5 second possible fastening variant, in which the two fastening elements 18, 18a act as a linear guide along the longitudinal axis 29. If latching projections, not also shown in the figures, are provided on the height adjustment portion 32, the third width b 3 at least of the height 10 adjustment part 35a of the lower fastening element 18a can be selected in such a way that the slide 19 is held with the latching projections in a latching manner on the lower fastening element 18a. Basically, this may analogously also be provided for the upper fastening element 18. 15 The assembly part 36a of the lower fastening element 18a is configured to conically widen along the centre longitudinal axis 34 toward the height adjustment part 35a and has a fourth width b 4 facing the height adjustment part 35a and oriented perpendicular to the centre longitudinal axis 34. The fourth width b 4 of the assembly part 36a is greater than the second width b 2 20 of the height adjustment portion 32. In particular there applies b 4 1.5 - b2, in particular b 4 > 2.5 - b 2 and in particular b 4 2 3 - b 2 . This prevents the slide 19 being released from the fastening element 18a along the centre longitudinal axis 34. 25 The upper fastening element 18 according to Fig. 2 and 3 is substantially T-shaped along the centre longitudinal axis 34 with a height adjustment part 35, which is, in particular, identical in configuration to the height adjustment part 35a of the lower fastening element 18a. The assembly part 36 of the upper fastening element 18 has a non-round cross-section with - 18 respect to the centre longitudinal axis 34. The assembly part 36 of the upper fastening element 18 has a fourth width b 4 of, for example, 14 mm, the fourth width b 4 being oriented perpendicular to the centre longitudinal axis 34 and perpendicular to the spacing A. 5 The lining 3 comprises the carrier shell 6, the headband 8 and the slide 19. The headband 8 may also be configured in one part. It is also possible for the carrier shell 6, the headband 8 and an optionally provided padding to be configured in one part, i.e. in one piece. 10 It is also possible for the slide 19 to be height adjustably connected along the longitudinal axis 29 on the interior equipment 3, but non-releasably, for example by two-component injection moulding, to the interior equipment 3. In this case, the slide 19 does not have an assembly portion 31, so it is 15 not possible to disassemble the slide 19 from the interior equipment 3. The assembly of the slide 19 on the interior equipment 3 will be described below for the second fastening variant. The slide 19 is placed with the assembly portion 31 of the longitudinal opening 30 on the upper fastening 20 element 18 along the centre longitudinal axis 34. For this purpose, the slide 19 is rotated relative to the arrangement in Fig. 3 through 900 about the centre longitudinal axis 34, so the longitudinal opening 30 of the slide 19 is oriented parallel to the assembly part 36 of the upper fastening element 18. The slide 19 is then displaced along the centre longitudinal axis 34 until the 25 slide 19 rests on the holding plate 17. The slide 19 placed on the upper fastening element 18 is displaced along the longitudinal axis 29 into a desired height position. In this height position, the slide 19 is pressed with the longitudinal opening 30 over the lower fastening element 18a, so that the lower fastening element 18a with the height adjustment part 35a is - 19 arranged in the height adjustment portion 32 of the longitudinal opening 30. The assembly part 36a of the lower fastening element 18a is, in particular, slotted to facilitate pressing through the longitudinal opening 30. The slide 19 can be fixed to the interior equipment 3 in various ways, in 5 particular in a plane arranged parallel to the strip plane and/or along the centre longitudinal axis 34, in other words perpendicular to the strip plane. It is, for example, possible, for a clamping of the slide 19 to take place on the interior equipment 3 because of the second width b 2 , which is reduced relative to the third width b 3 . It is furthermore possible for latching 10 projections to be provided in the region of the height adjustment portion 32 in order to allow a latching abutment of at least one of the fastening elements 18, 18a. The height adjustment portion 32 can then have at least one side longitudinal wall, which, at least in one portion has an undulating contour, for example. The height adjustment portion 32 then has, at least in 15 this portion, an in particular cyclically alternating second width b 2 . It is also conceivable for the depth of at least one of the height adjustment parts 35, 35a of the fastening elements 18, 18a to be smaller than the strip thickness of the slide 19 in the region of the height adjustment portion 32 of the longitudinal opening 30. 20 A further embodiment of the invention will be described below with the aid of Fig. 4 and 5. Components which correspond to those which were described above with reference to Figs. 1 to 3, have the same reference numerals and will not be described again in detail. 25 The important difference relative to the first embodiment is that the slide 37 is configured in two parts with a slide upper part 38 and a slide lower part 39. The slide 37 is produced from plastics material. The slide upper part 38 has a resilient latching button 40 as the first connecting means, -20 which cooperates with the latching receiver 41 as the second connecting means of the slide lower part 39. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 4, the slide upper part 38 and the slide lower part 39 are connected to one another. The slide upper part 38 is inserted by the latching button 40 in the 5 latching receiver 41 of the slide lower part 39. The latching button 40 is inclined relative to the slide plane in such a way that it engages behind a lower web 42 limiting the latching receiver 41. As a result, the latching button 40 is held in the latching receiver 41. The latching button 40 and the latching receiver 41 form a latch-clip connection. 10 Since the latching button is 40 is resilient, it can be pressed counter to its incline until it is oriented substantially parallel to the slide plane.
