The clamp 10 has an essentially rectangular body 11, which has upper and lower main surfaces 12 and 13 _} straight longitudinal side surfaces 14, 15 and end surfaces 16, 17.

A slot 18 extends through the body from the im- ', teren main surface "to the upper main surface and is approximately arranged diagonally to the body 11 so that it faces the longitudinal side surface 15 is inclined and thus a wedge-shaped body part is formed between the slot and the longitudinal side surface 15 will.

The slot 18 essentially has a keyhole-like shape with a wide, partially circular slot part 19 at one end. The remainder of the slot has parallel sides. The wide slot part 19 is closer to the longitudinal side surface 15 as the opposite end of the slot.

Furthermore, extend inward from the one parallel, the side of the slot adjacent to the longitudinal side surface 15 the projections in the form of three ribs 20, 21 and 22, on the opposite side of the slot.

The upper major surface 12 of the body has a recess 23, the narrow part of the slot 18 entirely and the wide one Slit part 19 partially surrounds.

Furthermore, a holding part is provided around a further link to detect, for example in the form of a resilient retaining arm 24, which extends outward from the longitudinal side surface 14 of the Body protrudes. The holding arm 24 has an overhanging bead 25 which rests against the flange of a bar and

can hold this, which will be discussed in more detail below. There are also two essentially flat, resilient tongues 26, 27 also forward outward from the longitudinal side surface 14 and are downwardly and outwardly related inclined on the lower main surface 13.

As shown in Pig. 5, the bracket 10 is used to to attach a bar 28 to an I-shaped support 29. The carrier 29 has a vertical surface 30 and a horizontal one Surface 31 is also a head bolt 32 with a Head 33 welded to the horizontal surface 31 at one point or otherwise attached, which is from the perpendicular surface 30 at a distance which is a little smaller than the distance between the end of the slot 18 opposite to the wide slot part 19 and the longitudinal side surface 15 of the body of the bracket is.

In order to fasten the clamp 10 on the head bolt 32, the clamp is placed on the head bolt and the head of the head bolt is pushed through the wide slot part 19 of the slot 18. The lower major surface 13 of the clip 10 is then pressed firmly against the horizontal surface 31 of the carrier 29 such that the resilient tongues 26 to create, 27 to the surface 31 flat, whereupon the head 33 ^de s head bolt then the wide slot portion 19 penetrates completely ·. In this position, the bracket 10 is shown in dashed lines in FIG. The bracket 10 is then moved relative to the head bolt so that the head bolt is displaced along the slot 18, the head 33 of the head bolt being in the recess 23 on the upper major surface 12 of the body 11 of the bracket and on the edge portions of the narrow one Slit part rests. The diameter of the bolt shank is such that it fits between the ribs 20, 21, 22 in a press fit.

When the bracket is moved relative to the bolt, the wedge-shaped part of the body 11, which is arranged between the slot 18 and the longitudinal side surface 15 of the body, wedged firmly between the headed bolt 32 and the vertical surface 30 just before the headed bolt reached the end of the narrow Reached the slot part. The wedge effect then prevents the clamp from moving in the opposite direction

Κο, ρχ-sense and the ribs 20, 21 and 22, which are now next to the / bolt 32 are arranged, result in an additional locking against movement of the clamp in the opposite direction away from the wedged position in case the clamp tries to loosen due to strong vibrations ». . -

When the bracket 10 is wedged in place on the head bolt 32 with the longitudinal side surface 15 firmly clamped against the vertical surface 30 of the bracket 29, the bar 28, which is provided with inwardly directed flanges 34, 35, is attached the clamp 10 is fastened in that the flange 34 is inserted under the bead 25 of the holding arm 24 in such a way that it rests on the tongues 26, 27. A glass plate 36, for example a windshield, and a seal 37 can now be _{inserted between the other flange 35 of the strip 28 and the vertical surface 30 t of} the carrier 29 in order to put the strip 28 under tension and to complete the assembly.

When installing a windshield inside an opening of a vehicle frame, a plurality of head bolts are provided on the carrier 29 around the opening each of which a bracket 10 is attached to so the

The clips 10 can advantageously be quickly and easily attached to the headed bolts 32 and, if necessary, removed again, with considerable tolerances in the positioning of the bolts 32 relative to the vertical surface 30 of the carrier 29 being permissible. This latter advantage is significant because In the case of stud welding in mass production, it is often difficult to arrange a number of headed studs P exactly in alignment, so that a considerable tolerance in the position of the studs must be taken into account. The head-. Bolt 32 is shown according to Pig, 5 and 6 at the maximum permissible distance from the vertical surface 30 for effective use with a clamp 10. It can also substantially \ • denser attached to the vertical surface 30, without thereby affecting on the head bolts fastening the clip, since the clip between the head of bolt 32 and the surface _k wedged 30 when the head bolts from the wide slot part 19 is moved into the narrow slot part.

In Figs. 7 and 8, which show a modification of the bracket 10 " gen, the bracket is designated as a whole with 40, which is identical in many respects to bracket 10, however with the difference that the ribs 20, 21, 22 of the clamp 10 are formed here by projections in the form of the ribs 41, 42 and 43 are replaced.

The ribs 41, 42 and 43 are on the upper major surface of the Body of the bracket 40 provided extending from the edge

of the slot and serve the same purpose like the hips 20, 21, 22, namely to lock the head bolt 32 against movement in the direction of the wide slot part. ■.

As can be seen from Pig.7, in which the head 33 of the head bolt 32 is shown in dashed lines, the rib 41 is opposite the head 33 of the bolt and prevents relative movement. between the head bolt and the clamp.

As shown, there are three similar spaced apart Ribs 41, 42, 43 provided so that always-a rib next to the head of the head bolt is arranged, regardless of which position the head bolt assumes relative to the bracket when this in its wedged position, more or fewer than three ribs can also be provided if necessary.

The clip 40 can be modified in that extensions 41a, 42a, 43a of the ribs 41 _} 42, 43 - as shown in Fig. 7 in dashed lines - extend from the edge of the slot opposite the ribs 41, 42, 43. .

Furthermore, the bracket 10 can be modified so that similar ribs are provided on both side edges of the slot are in order to achieve an additional locking and an additional resistance against loosening of the clamp.
