DE202007004229U1 - Fixing rail for flower window boxes comprises length-adjustable flat iron and profiled iron fitting at ends into window shutter rails and with fixing claws engaging down at right angles into flower box - Google Patents

Abstract

The fixing rail comprises a flat iron (5) enclosed on at least two sides by a profiled iron (6). A first fixing claw (7) with obtuse and pointed ends is fixed permanently by the obtuse end on a first end of the flat iron at right angles thereto whilst a second fixing claw (8) is fixed by its obtuse end on a first end of the profiled iron at right angles thereto. The second end of the profiled iron is connected to the second end of the flat iron through a wing nut (9) whereby the profiled and flat irons can be adjusted along the length of the flower box. the fixing rail can be positioned over a flower box on the window sill whilst the first ends of the profiled and flat irons hang in the shutter rails.

Description

The The invention relates to a mounting rail for securing flower boxes window sills against falling.

Flower boxes the unsecured on windowsills are at stormy Weather a big one danger for Human and animal. In case of a crash, both the flower boxes and the flowers planted in it are useless. In addition, items can are under the window are badly damaged.

Out For this reason, flower boxes are usually used Fasteners of various shapes attached to the windowsill.

adversely in these known fasteners is that to screws or dowels used Need to become, to make a firm connection with the window or masonry. Through these screws or dowels the window frame or masonry is damaged or at least visually impaired.

Of the Invention is therefore the object of a fastening device to create that without the known damaging attachment methods gets along.

These Task is solved with the features listed in Schutzanspuch 1.

Without Tool as well as without any craft experience is this of to handle anyone easy to use flower box fuse.

A adjustable length Mounting rail according to claim 1 is on the one hand by means of the fastening claw in the ground of flower boxes anchored and on the other hand with the hang in roller shutter rails Ends fixed on both sides in the roller shutter rails. In addition, will the mounting rail after adjusting the length to the respective window size individually suitable and on every window, at the blind rails available are for securing flower boxes used. The shutters can after installation of the mounting rail if necessary until it stops lowered to the mounting rail.

An embodiment of the invention will be described with reference to 1 and 2 explained. Show it:

1 the fastening rail according to the invention,

2 the use of the mounting rail to secure a flower box on a windowsill.

The 1 shows a perspective view of a mounting rail according to the invention ( 1 ) for securing flower boxes. The mounting rail ( 1 ) consists of a flat iron ( 5 ) and a profile iron ( 6 ), whose profile surrounds the flat iron, so that the flat iron is displaceable in the longitudinal direction.

Two fastening claws ( 7 . 8th ) are with their blunt end permanently with the outside ends of the flat iron ( 5 ) as well as the profile iron ( 6 ), so that the ends of the flat iron and the profile iron protrude a certain distance freely over the joints. The two fastening claws ( 7 . 8th ) are at a distance of 5 cm to 10 cm from the outer end of the flat iron ( 5 ) or of the profile iron ( 6 ) attached.

The 2 shows a perspective view of the use of the mounting rail for securing a flower box ( 2 ) on a windowsill ( 4 ). The mounting rail is doing with their tapered mounting claws on the inner edge of a soil-filled flower box ( 2 ) and at the same time the outer ends in the roller shutter rails ( 3 ) attached. This creates a strong connection to secure the flower box on the windowsill.

In a specific embodiment, the profile iron ( 6 ) Is U-shaped and encloses the flat iron ( 5 ) form fit, so that the flat iron ( 5 ) in the profile of the pofile iron ( 6 ) is displaceable in the longitudinal direction.

The connecting means ( 9 ) are designed in a preferred manner as a screw and wing nut and fix in a bore in the profile iron ( 6 ) as well as in a hole or a slot in the flat iron ( 5 ) the mounting rail ( 1 ).

The length of the mounting rail is by moving the flat iron ( 5 ) along the profile iron ( 6 ) adjustable. In the presence of a slot in the flat iron, the connecting means for length adjustment need not be dismantled but merely loosened.

The Length of Fastening rail is preferably from 50 cm to 100 cm adjustable.

When Materials are aluminum or steel.
