Description

Clip fastening for the quick assembly of fitting devices, such as swivel lever locks, hinge parts in openings in a thin wall

Background of the invention

The invention relates to a Klipsbefestigung for quick assembly of fitting devices, such as socket wrench locks, swivel lever locks, hinge parts, in openings in a thin wall, comprising a on the one, outer side of the thin wall to be arranged, the outer edge of the opening overlapping headboard, of which a Breakthrough protruding in the mounted position fuselage emanating from the projecting in the direction of its outer surface retaining elements whose free end an inclined surface for play-free support of the fuselage part on the edge of the opening of the other, inner side of the thin wall, are provided.

State of the art

From US-PS 5 435 159 a Klipsbefestigung for quick assembly of a closure housing is known, which can be arranged for example in a round opening in a thin wall. The intended for a snap lock housing comprises a to be arranged on the one, outer side of the thin wall, the outer edge of the breakthrough overlapping head portion, namely a flange from which a breakthrough in the mounted position protrudes hull part from the yielding in the direction of its outer surface Tongue elements project whose free end has an inclined surface for play-free support of the body part on the edge of the opening of the other, inner side of the thin wall. The holding force of the integral with the body part holding or tongue elements is dependent on the spring tension, which depends on the plastic material used and therefore can not be made arbitrarily large.

From EP 0258491 A1 a similar construction is known, with which a lock cylinder by means of a lock cylinder receiving, retaining tongues plastic housing in thin-walled doors, drawers or the like. Can be fastened. By sloping surfaces at the ends of the tongue a desired adaptability to commonly occurring variations of the components to be locked is achieved. In column 9 of the document is also described that the resilient tongues after mounting the lock cylinder in the housing can not dodge to the inside. The disadvantage here is that a very specific construction, namely a round housing with inserted therein lock cylinder must be provided to allow this locking of the tongues after installation.

Object of the invention

The object of the invention is to provide a development of the known arrangement, where these disadvantages do not occur.

solutions

The object is achieved in that body part and retaining element are two separate parts.

This makes it possible, for in principle arbitrarily shaped fitting devices, not only for round lock cylinder, a Klipsbefestigung for quick assembly of fitting devices, such as swivel lever locks, hinge parts, cylinder housings and the like. To create in openings of a thin wall, the holding force of which for the tongues used plastic material is dependent and thus theoretically arbitrarily designed and adapted to the particular task.

The easiest way is an embodiment in which the body part and head part are injected in one piece, for example made of plastic. But it is also possible to form the body part and head part as two parts which are screwed together, welded, glued or clipped. According to a further development, support elements held or carried in the fuselage part are provided for supporting the holding elements after the mounting of the fitting device in the thin wall.

According to another embodiment of the invention, two diametrically opposed holding elements are provided, which are supported by spring devices such as spiral spring and / or wedge devices such as tapered screw. Since the spring means can be provided with freely selectable spring force, the locking force can be adapted to the respective task and is not dependent on the plastic material.

In the prior art, the locking force is highly dependent on the shape of the fitting and the material property of the plastic used.

According to yet another embodiment of the invention, the holding elements are spaced apart from the thin wall about an axis parallel to the plane of the thin wall like door leaf plane rotatably arranged lever. Alternatively, the holding elements at a distance to the door leaf level about a plane perpendicular to the door leaf axis pivotally mounted lever.

According to yet another alternative, the holding elements in a parallel to the door leaf plane, rectangular in cross-section cylinder slidably mounted carriage, which are held by a latching hook means arranged between them against compression spring force.

With different loading of the two diametrically opposite holding elements, such as when used with a detonator, it is advantageous if the one, weaker loaded locking part made of flexible plastic, such as polyamide, and the other, more heavily loaded locking member made of metal.

A further embodiment is characterized in that the holding elements in a parallel to the door leaf plane, in cross-section rectangular cylinder slidably arranged carriages of rigid material, such as metal, which are held by a pinning device arranged between them against compression spring force.

The pinning device can also consist of screws screwed in the head part, wherein according to yet another embodiment there is the possibility that the screws fix the body part on the head part.

The cylinder may have a part partition or undercut or breakthrough edge on which slides are axially supported by a shoulder or hook.

The body part may have a slot for receiving a grounding spring.

According to another embodiment, wherein the fitting device is a pivot or folding lever lock for attachment in an elongated or in two shorter rectangular openings, wherein the one opening the lever storage, z. B. the drive shaft and the other breakthrough a Hebelarretierung receives, is characterized in that at least one of the openings also serve to receive at least one holding element according to one of the preceding embodiments.

In particular, the swiveling lever closure can have a recess for the arresting of the actuating lever, wherein according to the invention the depression forms the head part of one or two holding elements in the region of the lever support, such as the drive shaft.

The pivot lever lock may have a trough for lockable recording of the actuating lever, and be characterized in that the trough on the one hand forms the Hintergrifffläche for the thumb of a Hebelarretierung, on the other hand, the head part of a holding element in the lever locking.

In the case of a trough, it is advantageous if the holding elements are formed by slidably held carriage whose axis of motion perpendicular to Longitudinal extension of the trough lie.

The fitting device can also be a hinge part.

The holding elements can be formed in a simplified manner by a leaf spring. It is possible that the leaf spring is held in a slot formed by the body part. Alternatively, however, the leaf spring can also be supported by a screw held in the body part. In such embodiments, it is beneficial for grounding purposes, when the leaf spring has at its free end a cutting edge for laying on the thin metal wall in this case between a ground connection.

Best ways of carrying out the invention

As an example of an inventive fastening of a fitting is shown in Fig. 1 A is a longitudinal sectional view of a pivot lever closure 10 which is in two rectangular openings 12, 14 of a thin wall 16, here a sheet metal door leaf, arranged, see also Fig. 27 leaves the center bar 17 away, results in a long rectangular opening, which would also be suitable.

The fitting device, here the pivot lever lock comprises in the region of each opening 12 or 14 on the one, outer side 18 of the thin wall 16 to be arranged, the outer edge 20 of the opening 12 and 14 overlapping head part, here in the form of the pivot lever 22 receiving trough 24, from which head part or trough 24, a breakthrough 12 and 14 in the mounted position each protruding hull part 26 emanates. From this body part 26, as shown in FIG. 1C, flexible tongues or retaining elements 36 project toward the outer surface 34, the free end of which has an inclined surface 38 for play-free support of the body part 26, 28 on the edge or edge 40 of the opening 12 or 14 of the other, inner side 42 of the thin wall 16 has.

The fuselage parts 28, 32 originating from the head part, in this case the trough 24, have displaceable retaining elements 36 against any force of a spring 44 in the fuselage part 26, these retaining elements being held in the fuselage part by interlocking locking elements 46, 48 after their mounting. In Fig. 1 B It is shown that the locking elements are hooks hooked each other, the material of these hooks is advantageously made of polyamide, that is flexible enough to dodge the linear insertion of the holding elements 36 in the body part 26, 28 sufficiently and can pass each other and springing back 1 b hooked up and down, so that they remain in the position shown in FIG. 1 B and thus the outgoing of the trough 24 fuselage parts 32, 28, 128 are securely held in the associated rectangular opening. This fuse can be designed by appropriately strong spring means 44 so that under normal circumstances and operating conditions, the retaining elements or Klipselemente 36 does not retract against the force of the spring 44.

If the closure comprises, as shown here, a projection tongue 52 which lies behind a door frame edge 50, the two diametrally opposed holding elements 36, 136 are loaded to different degrees. The pressure exerted on soaps of the tongue 52 in its rear grip position is for the most part taken up by the holding element 36 opposite edge 20 of the driver groove, while the holding member 36 is little loaded, which is exactly the opposite on the opposite side, as this holding member 136 is the strongest loaded. In order to account for this differential load, it may be useful to manufacture the particularly stressed clip element 136 from metal rather than plastic. Since at the same time the less heavily loaded retaining element 36 is made of plastic such as polyamide, this holding element remains flexible and thus allows the resilient retraction during insertion and against each other locking the two holding elements 36, 136th

While in the embodiment of FIG. 1C, the two locking members 36, 136 in a parallel to the door leaf plane, rectangular in cross-section cylinder slidably disposed carriage 56, by a arranged between them latching hook means 46, 38 against the force of two compression springs 44, the are supported on a central wall 58, are held in the embodiment of FIG. 3, the arrangement is designed such that the Holding elements 236 at a distance A to the door leaf level 16 about a paralelle to the door leaf axis 60 rotatably arranged lever 236 are.

The two levers 236 are pressed at their inner end in each case by a common strong compression spring 244 to the outside.

By Klipseinrichtungen it is possible to mount the illustrated lever lock by simply pressing into two suitably shaped rectangular openings in the thin wall by lying in the direction of the well axis 62 edges of both openings 14, 12, the adjacent inclined surfaces of the holding elements 36, 136, 236 against the force of the spring 44, 144, 244 press inwards and can jump back after reaching the inclined surface 38 and thus set the trough in the door leaf.

With regard to the construction of the swivel lever closure should be mentioned that the conversion of the pivot lever to right or left operation, the tongue can be provided with a rotatable cross stop, which is indicated at 64. Also connected to the trough bar lock body with pinion and rods can be mounted and clipped, especially if the central web 17 is omitted between the two openings 12, 14 in the thin wall 16 and so an elongated opening is formed, the openings 12, 14, see Fig. 27.

As is apparent from FIGS. 1A and 1B, the upper body portion 26, which projects from the trough 14, serves as a bearing for a drive shaft 66, at the outside of the door leaf lying end of the hand lever 22 is pivotally pivoted about an axis perpendicular to the door leaf axis 68 while the inner end of the shaft 66 terminates with a square on which a square opening having tongue 52 is fitted and held by a fastening screw 72.

To the bearing block for the shaft 66 connects above and / or below in each case a holding element 28, 128, wherein the holding elements and the bearing block together the dimensions for the passage through the rectangular opening in Form the door leaf.

At the lower end of the trough is a receiving portion 30 for an outgoing from the hand lever 22 cylinder lock interlocking part, with excentered tongue or thumb 70 is provided, which can be locked behind a return surface 74 by actuation of a cylinder key 76 in the retracted position.

In order to carry out a folding movement and locking with the key removed, a spring rear handle 174 is alternatively provided as shown in FIG. 2, wherein the rotating tongue 170 could be mounted by means of Klipseinrichtungen torsionally rigid on the cylinder roller.

In Fig. 4 and following an embodiment is shown in which the Klipsbefestigung invention is applied to a hinge. Thus, Figs. 4A and 4D shows a two-part hinge with the hinge parts 80, 82, wherein the lower, first hinge part 80 is fixed by means of the clip member 228 described in connection with the pivot lever handle on the door frame 250, while the second, upper hinge part 82 with the door leaf is connected by means of the holding element 236, see Fig. 4D.

The lower hinge part 80 and upper hinge part 82 are interconnected by a hinge pin 84 which is crimped in the lower hinge part 80, while its upper end is rotatably received in a bore 86 of the upper hinge part 82. Lower hinge part 80 is connected to a door frame 150, by means of a clip fastening 228, while the upper hinge part 82 by means of clip fastening 232 pivotally holds a metal door 216 about the hinge axis of the hinge pin 84.

The rectangular opening required for this purpose in the door frame 250 or in the door leaf 216 is shown, for example, in FIG. 13 and provided with the reference number 76. Again, the Klipsbefestigung a to be arranged on the outer side of the thin wall or of the frame 250 and the door leaf device 216, the outer edge of the Breakthrough 78 overlapping head portion or hinge lobes 88, from which a breakthrough 78 in the mounted position protruding hull part 228 emanates from which in the direction of its outer surface resilient holding or tongue elements 336 projecting whose free end an inclined surface 38 for play-free support of the body part 228 and so that the hinge 80 on the edge of the opening 78 of the other, inner side of the thin wall 250, is arranged. The same applies to the hinge part 82 and the door leaf 216.

For attachment of the hinge, a construction can be selected, as has already been described in connection with the pivot lever lock, or as it is selected according to an embodiment of FIGS. 5A to 5C. Instead of hooking hook here serves a pin according to FIG. 6 as a lock. Two metal components according to FIGS. 5A to 5C are inserted in a rectangular guide channel according to FIG. 8B and held in the inserted position by an externally screwed pin according to FIG. 6 in such a way that they can move around each other for a short distance, but can not fall out. This is achieved on the one hand by return 90, which results in a career for the half pin width of the pin 92, and by the coil spring 344, which is supported on the one hand in an opening 94 of the part 336, on the other hand on an intermediate wall 358. The part 336 is so symmetrical shaped to allow the mounting option according to FIGS. 8A and 8B.

9A, 9B and 9C, an embodiment for a hinge is shown, in which one hinge part is welded to the door leaf 416, while the other hinge part is held on the door frame 450 with a further embodiment of the clip fastening according to the invention. This consists of the door leaf plane at a distance about an axis perpendicular to the door leaf axis rotatably arranged lever means 436, which are pressed by spring means to the outside and then take edge portions of a arranged in the door leaf 450 rectangular opening.

Figs. 10A and 10B show an embodiment in which the two by Spring devices are pressed apart holding elements are held by hooks to each other, between which an inclined wedge 94 is arranged. A similar construction is shown in FIG. 11.

In Fig. 12, a round pin 294 is provided, which holds two mutually displaceable, made of hard material such as metal parts in position.

In Fig. 13, a rectangular opening 78 is shown, as it is suitable for the embodiment described here, a lock. Thus, a hinge element, as shown in FIGS. 14A and 14B in side view and front view, could be clipped into this rectangular opening 78. Otherwise, the structure is similar to that of FIG. 3, but this is an (upper) hinge part 282.

15A, 15B, 16 and 17 are illustrations of a mounting in which, according to Fig. 15A upper part of a pivot lever, according to FIG. 15A lower part of a hinge part can be fixed in a rectangular opening of a thin wall. Here, a single spring is provided which presses both holding elements 536 from the pushed-back clip position shown in FIG. 17 in the clipped position shown in FIG. 16, when the component or the fitting is pressed into the mounting hole.

The two holding elements 536 are again drawn out as individual parts in two different views in FIGS. 19A and 19B. Figs. 18A and 18B show the associated item as hinge lugs. It is important that here the hook of the holding element 536 is supported on a wall opening 96. Instead of the above-described solution with central web and two springs, wherein the holding elements hold against each other, a solution is found here, with a spring and end opening in which hold the clip elements with hooks in the assembled state. In the embodiment shown in Figs. 20, 21, 22, 23A, 23B, 24A, 24B, which is designed similar to the embodiment according to FIGS. 15 to 19, instead of the end-face opening, a lateral in Haltebzw. Guided channel provided. In both cases, the advantage is that you can do with only one spring. 16, 20A and 26B show an embodiment in two different views, in which the conical screw 98, two holding elements 736 are pressed apart, which results in a particularly large holding force, the screw head is inside and a Blindbefestigung is not possible , But you could also tighten with a screw from the outside a conical nut, which would have the same effect, and also would allow a blind assembly.

Fig. 25 shows a pivot lever with a arranged at the lower end, known per se hook attachment, however, at the upper end of the invention holding elements are provided. As shown in FIG. 25 at the lower end only small forces are effective, a hook fastening means hook 100, while in the tongue area, 52, where the closing forces and the rotation of the hand lever cause greater forces occur, the device 836 according to the invention is provided, be it is one of the above embodiments, especially the embodiment by means of a conical screw.

In this way, depending on the load can choose the optimal mounting.

Whereas an upper end with two holding elements 836 is fixed in the pivot lever lock according to FIG. 25, in the embodiments according to FIGS. 29 and 30 only one such holding element 1036 is provided in each case.

At the other end of the key plate or head part 24 in Fig. 25 is a hook 100. In the embodiment of FIG. 29 is a socket wrench, in the embodiment of FIG. 30 to a lever lock.

Fig. 31A shows in a sectional view from above a hinge part 382, on whose head part forming tabs 388, the body part 326 is attached by means of cap screws 27. These screws 27 simultaneously limit the stroke of the fastening elements 1136, see the slot 29, in which the screw cross section 27 can migrate. As is apparent from Figs. 31B or 31C, an axial sectional view in a bottom view, upon insertion, the members 1136 in the channel move inwardly against the force of the spring 344 as far as the elongated hole extension 29 permits to jump back into the locking position, which can be seen in Fig.31 B. This separation of the head and torso parts of the fastening system is z. B. advantageous if grooves 31 are to be provided for Abdichtringe 33. This can lead to tools for the injection molding process, which are difficult to handle when a one-piece production is desired.

The hinge member 82 is shown in Figs. 32A, 32B and 32C in three different views. In the figures, the groove 35 can be seen, in which the free legs of the U-part 326 are used, as well as the threaded holes 37, in which the screws 27 can be screwed. The holding element used here is shown in FIGS. 33A to 33C as a single part, including the receiving blind hole 39 for receiving a compression spring 44th

In FIGS. 34A and 34B, the guide member for the holding members 1136 is shown in an end view and a side view. In the closure arrangement shown in FIGS. 35A-D, comprising a pivoting lever with a rotary bolt driven by the pivot lever lock, is held by means of clip members disposed at both ends formed by a spring, this spring 1236 being shown in FIGS. 36A and B is shown again in a side view and a view from above as a single part and can be fixed with its screw 41 in the trough. In the position and shaping shown in the figures, the spring 1236 is adapted to the outer contours of the holding elements described with reference to the present figures and designed with such a spring force as they are also supplied by the elements. The free ends of the spring 1236 have play inwards, so that when inserting the ends of the spring can retreat.

The attachment with a screw 41, which is inserted through a hole 443 in the spring 1236, is sufficient because the free ends 45 of the spring on one of the Mulde formed wall 47 are guided. If the material of the trough of electrically conductive material, such as metal, the spring 1236 can simultaneously serve for earthing purposes, in which the end 45 of the spring with momentum lays against the edge of the opening and d through there existing oxide and paint residues breaks through, if relaxes after pushing through the spring. This creates an electrical route from the trough to the door leaf on the spring 1236 and the mounting screw 41st

The grounding contact can be improved if the cutting edge 49 is sharp-edged.

FIGS. 37A, 37B and 38 also show an embodiment which operates with a spring, which spring 1336 is not screwed to the body part 526 of a fitting part which is not of interest here, as in FIG. 35D, but rather is plugged into one Side slot 51 which is open to the outside, so as shown in FIG. 38 in the direction of the breakthrough edge of the thin wall 16, so that the spring 1336 can not slip out in this direction when the fitting is mounted, as shown in Fig. 37B ,

From Figs. 39A, 39B it is clear that here a grounding spring for hinges or closures can be arranged in the region of the guide channel for the clip elements, one side for metallic connection of the metal door or the door leaf or frame on the one hand and the hinge or the cap on the other hand is taken care of. For this purpose, the U-shaped spring 57 shown in side view and end view in FIGS. 40A and 40B is provided with a toothing 53 directed inwards, to the body of the body part of the fastening element, and also with a toothing pointing outwards at 55, to contact the aperture of the thin wall, as shown in Fig. 40C. A somewhat different construction for a grounding spring 157 is shown in Figs. 41A, B and 42A, B and C. An outwardly facing toothing 155 contacts the sheet similar to the embodiment just described, while the sharp edge tooth 153 contacts the body of the guide channel for the holding elements is applied and to this electrical Contact establishes.

The grounding spring 157 is, as Fig. 41 A can be clearly seen, arranged centrally above the tunnel, which is provided for the clips. The spring ends 59 are bent over so that they remain in the grounding position. When passing through the aperture, the upper tips 153 are each flattened and dig into the body portion of the hinge body (left portion of Fig. 41A) or the trough of a pivot lever lock (Fig. 41A right portion). However, this is only necessary for painted parts. Upon further passage, the scalloped sawteeth scratch 155 the paint in the breakthrough away, so that a good ground connection is made for the breakthrough or the door leaf.

In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 43A, 43B and 43C, the fitting shown here, a pivot lever lock, is fastened to the body part by means of a spring arrangement by means of two screws.

Instead of two superimposed breakthroughs here an elongated single breakthrough is required, as Fig. 43D reveals.

The arrangement according to the invention is also suitable for a bar closure, in particular for its lock case, see FIGS. 44A, 44B and 44C and 44D. Shown in different views here is a socket wrench, which is held in the rectangular opening of a door leaf by means of bolted 141 spring 1536. At the same time this spring serves as storage for the pinion.

In FIGS. 45A, 45B, the spring 1536 is again shown separately, and the hole 143 for the fastening screw 141 and the hole 63 for the pinion can be seen clearly. In the embodiment according to FIGS. 46A, 46B, fastening is provided by means of fastening elements arranged in a channel, see reference numeral 1636. The fastening here takes place with retaining elements 1636 arranged on the end faces, which, since they are somewhat shorter than in other embodiments, additionally be guided by a groove, which can be seen at 65 51A, 51B, 51C, while the support of the pinion shown in FIGS. 52A, 52B is made in a body part 1632, which can be seen in FIG. 47C, in FIG. 53 is in addition to recognize a cover 67, which represents an additional storage for the pinion. This cover can be supported either on a recess 69 in the body part of the fitting, see Fig. 48A, 48B, or at the edges of the locking rods 71, as in Figs. 46B, 47B recognizable.

54A, 54B, 54C, 54D show a similar construction as described above, but here the clip attachment for the cap is arranged at the front corners and these engage in apertures formed by the lid shown in FIGS. 55A, 55B, 55C and 55D, so that the hooks 73 engage in the openings 75 shown in FIG. 55C, so that the holder according to FIG. 55A results.

Shown in FIGS. 56A, 56B is a toggle fastener with locking rod 75 which operates without a cap, instead having a one-piece housing, lateral guide webs 79 for the rods 75 carrying clip means 77 thereby holding the rods. The attachment of the housing by means of a hook 81 on one side (in Fig. 56A right) and on the other side by means of the holding element device according to the invention 1836. FIGS. 57A to 57C show a similar construction, but here with a pivot lever.

The rods 75 can be inserted from above against the action of the Klipseinrichtung and engage with the detail drawn out in Figs. 58A and 58B pinion engaged. In order to enable a turning, the rods are toothed on both sides as shown in FIG. 59A, 59B. The pivot lever lock shown in Figs. 61 A, 61 B has at its one end a hook 181, and at its other end a Klipsbefestigung according to the invention, 2036, see Fig. 66. The cap of the lock case is here frontally clipped, see the Fig. 61 B, reference numeral 81. As shown in Fig. 62B reveals, the rods are bent in both sides on the cross section, resulting in a particularly narrow design. The bar perforation is widened at the end 83, to allow mounting according to FIGS. 62B, 62A. Solving the Klipsverschlusses the lid at 81 is facilitated by the fact that there is a slot 85 is provided, into which a screwdriver can be inserted and thereby the clip can be levered. The embodiment shown in FIGS. 69A, 69B is a housing clipped in accordance with the invention, with fastening elements 2136, which housing has an attached adapter 87, shown in FIGS. 71A, 71B, 71C, by means of which adapter 87 a wing tongue 89, shown in Figs. 70A, 70B, can be mounted. Round rods 275 can be attached to the wing tongue, as shown in FIGS. 69A, 69B. The adapter forms stop surfaces 91, see Fig. 69C, to which the nose 93 abuts the Drehwegbegrenzung the wing tongue 89.

In Figs. 72A, 72B, 72C, there is shown an embodiment in which a retainer 2236 according to the present invention is welded to a sheet metal hinge 95. Referring to Figs. 73A, 73B and 73B, the same welding method is provided to a spring-mounted device 2336. Welding is punctiform, see reference numeral 97. In the area of welding attachment, the spring 2336 in the rest of a bead 99, which has a stiffening effect.

74A, 74B, 74C and 74D, an embodiment is shown in which a holding device 2436 according to the invention in the form of a spring clip assembly for fastening a fitting, such as hinge or closure, shown in a thin wall. For the production of the head part 2424, for example by plastic injection molding, no slides in the injection mold are necessary, since the channel structure takes place with a cheap separate part 101. An integrated leaf spring 102 is held like the separate U-shaped part 101 with a countersunk screw 103 which is screwed into the head part 2424. The leaf spring 102 is inexpensive to produce.

Figs. 75A, 75B and 75C show in three different views a leaf spring clip fastening with channel construction on the hinge or closure rear side. According to these illustrations, the above-described channel 2536 is up opened, so that a slot 104 is formed. A specially shaped leaf spring 105 according to FIG. 75A can be inserted laterally. The raised central region 106 can dodge down and finally engages in the slot 104 and then leaves a longitudinal displacement of the spring 105 is no longer. The two protruding ends of the leaf spring, reference numeral 107, now act as linearly displaceable springs for the clip elements and hold the fitting part, for example a hinge device in the rectangular mounting hole 109 fixed. This embodiment is applicable to hinges, as well as closures and results in an enormous cost savings.

FIGS. 76A, 76B, 76C and 76D and 76E show a further embodiment of the invention in which two mutually movable holding elements 2636 are mounted in a channel so as to be displaceable relative to one another against spring force. Through an incision 111, in which a grub screw 113 engages, the movement of the elements 2636 is linearly limited. For the embodiments according to FIGS. 76A to 78C, it should also be noted that this is a cost-effective, but also assembly-friendly arrangement. The flat sheet metal parts to be used can be punched cheaply. In built-in situation, but not yet mounted on the cupboard, the two openings of the sheet metal parts are congruent even when preloaded compression spring. The three parts, two pieces Klipsplatten and a piece of compression spring biased, form a stable in itself package, so that it can be easily inserted into the guide channel. The then depressed pin secures the unit only against falling out. Only when mounted in the mounting hole the Klipsplatten develop a relative movement caused by the spring. The overall arrangement is very narrow and is therefore space-saving. In special situations, the Klipsplatten can also be used solitary and in adaptation to space crimped.

Fig. 78A shows the compression spring, Fig. 78B shows the grub screw, in place of which also a pin shown in Fig. 78C is usable, but which would not be disassembled.

Fig. 76E shows how the parts can also meet in the guide channel. A one-sided protuberance 115 for the breakthrough leaves the spring at the end in each case over the entire surface.

A similar embodiment is shown in FIGS. 79A, 79B and 79C, in which the attachment 2736 according to the invention is used with a pivoting lever. The pivoting lever drives a pusher which secures the door in a frame when it is closed.

Figs. 80A, 80B show details of the trough portion to be defined in the door panel, while Figs. 81A, 81B show two views of the slider.

Fig. 82A again shows a grub screw and Fig. 82B shows a wire spring.

Figs. 83A, 83B show an embodiment that solves the problem that occurs when the load on the clip edge of the clip members becomes too high and an outward bump is created. In the embodiments described so far, the hinge leaf is no longer clean. To solve this problem, a return on the inside of the hinge leaf is created in the region of the clip element, see reference numeral 117, in which the bump 119 is received. The clip element 2836 pushes behind and the secure attachment is still ensured without disadvantages.

Fig. 84 shows in a sectional view at 119 the bulge-out sheet, which may have been caused by high stress on the high edges.

In Fig. 83A, a view from the side showing the channel structure with clip elements and recess can be seen. Fig. 83B shows a rear view with the channel structure without clip pieces, but with a recess for receiving the bulge.

In FIGS. 85A and 85B, an example of a fastening of a hinge part in an opening in a thin wall, that is, in a door or a frame sheet, is shown in FIGS. shown, which works with a round bolt assembly 2936. The Rundbolzenbefestigung can probably not clip, since self-locking occurs. Since the outside of the bolt is relatively large, you can press in the sprung round parts with your fingers and then insert the part in the assembly opening. After passing through the Montageöffnungsfläche then you have the desired wedging effect. Although there is only a punctiform edition of the round parts, but they are nachgeschoben by the spring, should form a rounded dent.

In the embodiment shown in Figs. 86A to 86C, the fixing plug 123 engaging in a slot 125 formed by the holding members 3036 is not loaded by the spring 3044 because the opposing holding members 3036 hold each other. The fixing plug 123 holds the holding members 3036 only in the correct (central) position so that the Einklipsvorgang is not disturbed.

The design allows for simplified assembly, and only a spring 3044 is used, as the central partition in the channel, which was present in other embodiments, can be omitted here.

FIGS. 87A to 87C show the associated holding members 3036 as a single part.

FIGS. 88A-88C show in three different views a guide channel-forming attachment 3230 that may be bolted, which would have tool-side advantages for the introduction of channels 3233 for a seal 3233. It would not work with sliders in the tool. If the guide channel part is screwed on, the central fixation attachment 3293 can be produced by ejection (sheet metal part) or casting (die casting, plastic injection molding). The fixing plug 123 described in the previous embodiment (Figs. 86A to 86E) would not be necessary here.

Figs. 89A to 89C show an embodiment in three different views; in the four-fold arrangement of clipboards 3136 a particularly heavy load capacity is achieved. The U-part for forming the guide channel 3128 is bolted here. Overlying U-legs are recessed in the back of the head portion 3124. The Klipsplatten lead between the Verschraubungszylindern 3127 and in the inner wall of the U-part.
