Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen neigungseinstellbare Verbindungsvorrichtung, mit Hilfe derer bestimmungsgemäß eine zug- druck- und biegefeste Verbindung zwischen einem Untergrund und einem daran zu befestigenden Gegenstand zu bilden ist, wobei sich die Verbindungsvorrichtung zwischen dem Untergrund und dem zu befestigenden Gegenstand befindet.The invention relates to a tilt-adjustable connection device, with the aid of which a tensile pressure and bending-resistant connection between a substrate and an object to be fastened thereto is to be formed as intended, wherein the connecting device is located between the substrate and the object to be fastened.

In einem besonders vorteilhaften und typischen Anwendungsfall ist der zu befestigende Gegenstand ein Zaunpfahl oder Geländersteher und die Verbindungsvorrichtung ist ein neigungseinstellbarer Stützfuß der den Zaunpfahl oder Geländersteher zug- druck- und biegefest mit dem Untergrund verbindet.In a particularly advantageous and typical application, the object to be fastened is a fence post or handrail post and the connecting device is a tilt-adjustable support leg which connects the fence post or guardrail in a pressure- and bending-resistant manner to the substrate.

Die Schriften DE102011117629 A1 , GB2460271 B , US6141928 A , US7077598 B1 und US7533506 B2 zeigen jeweils Stützfüße bei denen die Neigungsverstellung das folgende Funktionsprinzip aufweist:
Der Stützfuß weist einen Unterteil auf, welcher mit dem Untergrund starr verbunden ist, sowie einen Oberteil, welcher mit dem zu befestigenden Teil starr verbunden ist. Der Oberteil befindet sich direkt über dem Unterteil und ist mit diesem durch ein oder mehrere vertikal ausgerichtete Schrauben verbunden, welche auf Zug belastet sind und auf Ober- und Unterteil eine Kraft ausüben, durch welche diese bei Abwesenheit anderer Kräfte aufeinander zu bewegt werden würden. In horizontaler Richtung von den auf Zug belasteten Schrauben beabstandet erstrecken sich zwischen der oberen Fläche des Unterteils und der unteren Fläche des oberen Teils weitere vertikal ausgerichtete Schrauben, welche auf Druck belastet sind und Bewegung des Oberteils nach unten hin auf den Unterteil zu formschlüssig blockieren. Durch Verlängern oder Verkürzen der jeweils wirksamen Schraubenlängen, also durch Ein- oder Ausdrehen von Schrauben bzw. Muttern der jeweiligen Schraubverbindungen kann der Oberteil gegenüber dem Unterteil bereichsweise gesenkt oder angehoben werden, womit seine Neigung gegenüber dem Unterteil verstellbar ist. Bei passender Neigung kann durch Anziehen der dann noch lockeren Schraubverbindungen Spielfreiheit der Verbindung hergestellt werden.The writings DE102011117629 A1 . GB2460271 B . US6141928 A . US7077598 B1 and US7533506 B2 each show support legs where the tilt adjustment has the following operating principle:
The support foot has a lower part, which is rigidly connected to the ground, and an upper part which is rigidly connected to the part to be fastened. The upper part is located directly above the lower part and is connected to it by one or more vertically oriented screws, which are loaded in tension and exert on the upper and lower part of a force by which they would be moved towards each other in the absence of other forces. Spaced in a horizontal direction away from the tensioned screws, between the upper surface of the base and the lower surface of the upper portion are further vertically oriented screws which are loaded under pressure and positively block movement of the upper towards the base. By extending or shortening the respectively effective screw lengths, ie by screwing or unscrewing screws or nuts of the respective screw connections, the upper part can be lowered or raised in regions relative to the lower part, whereby its inclination relative to the lower part is adjustable. If the inclination is appropriate, the connection can then be made free by tightening the still loose screw connections.

Das an sich robust funktionierende und einfach verstehbare Funktionsprinzip hat den Nachteil, dass die Schrauben mit Hilfe derer die Neigung des Stützfußes einstellbar ist, entweder nur unter störend stark eingeschränkten Bedingungen zugänglich sind, oder neben der Grundfläche des zu befestigenden Teils angebracht sein müssen, was optisch stark stört und auch sonst hinderlich oder als Stolperfalle sogar gefährlich sein kann.The inherently robust and easily understandable operating principle has the disadvantage that the screws by means of which the inclination of the support leg is adjustable, either accessible only under disturbingly severely limited conditions, or next to the base must be attached to the part to be fastened, which visually strongly interferes with and otherwise can be a hindrance or even dangerous as a trip hazard.

Die US 2013/0161474 A1 zeigt einen am Boden zu verankernden Schirmständer, welcher einen der Neiguneseinstellung dienenden Verbindungsbereich zwischen einem unteren Teil und einem oberen Teil aufweist. Eine Ausführung zeigt drei Verbindungsstellen zwischen unterem und oberem Teil, wobei eine Verbindungsstelle einen Zapfen aufweist, der starr mit dem oberen Teil verbunden ist und von diesem aus in eine hinterschnittene Nut an einem Keilteil ragt, welcher am unteren Teil in horizontaler Richtung geführt verschiebbar ist, wobei die Verschiebebewegung durch eine horizontal verlaufende Schraube antreibbar bzw. blockierbar ist. Mit der Verschiebung eines Keilteils in horizontaler Richtung verschiebt sich die Lage des zugehörigen Zapfens in vertikaler Richtung, womit der obere Teil um die Verbindungslinie der beiden Zapfen der beiden verbleibenden Verbindungsstellen geschwenkt wird und somit die Neigung des oberen Teils des Schirmständers gegenüber dem unteren Teil verändert wird. Vorteilhaft an dieser Art der einstellbaren Verbindung ist, dass die Einstellschrauben parallel zur Ebene des Untergrundes ausgerichtet sind, und damit auch dann gut zugänglich bleiben, wenn die Verbindungsstelle von oben her überdeckt ist. Nachteilig ist, dass relativ aufwändige und damit teure Bestandteile verwendet werden müssen und dass das Führungsspiel zwischen hinterschnittenen Nuten und Zapfen zu einem bleibenden Spiel in der Neigung zwischen oberem Teil und unterem Teil des Schirmständers führt.The US 2013/0161474 A1 shows a ground-anchoring umbrella stand, which has a Neiguneseinstellung serving connection area between a lower part and an upper part. An embodiment shows three joints between the lower and upper part, wherein a joint has a pin which is rigidly connected to the upper part and projects therefrom into an undercut groove on a wedge part, which is slidably guided on the lower part in the horizontal direction, wherein the sliding movement can be driven or blocked by a horizontally extending screw. With the displacement of a wedge member in the horizontal direction, the position of the associated pin shifts in the vertical direction, whereby the upper part is pivoted about the line connecting the two pins of the two remaining joints and thus the inclination of the upper part of the umbrella stand is changed from the lower part , An advantage of this type of adjustable connection is that the adjusting screws are aligned parallel to the plane of the substrate, and thus remain easily accessible even when the junction is covered from above. The disadvantage is that relatively complex and therefore expensive components must be used and that the guide clearance between undercut grooves and pins leads to a lasting game in the inclination between the upper part and the lower part of the umbrella stand.

Von diesem Stand der Technik ausgehend besteht die der Erfindung zu Grunde liegende Aufgabe darin, eine Verbindungsvorrichtung bereit zu stellen, mit Hilfe derer sich auf kostengünstige Art eine zug- druck- und biegefeste sowie spielfreie Verbindung zwischen einem an einer Seite der Verbindungsvorrichtung befindlichen Untergrund und einem an der gegenüberliegendenStarting from this state of the art, the object underlying the invention is to provide a connecting device with the aid of which a low-cost, pressure- and bending-resistant and play-free connection between a substrate located on one side of the connecting device and a at the opposite

Seite der Verbindungsvorrichtung befindlichen, zu befestigenden Gegenstand bilden lässt, wobei die Neigung des zu befestigenden Gegenstandes gegenüber dem Untergrund um mindestens eine Achse, welche parallel zu der dem zu befestigenden Gegenstand zugewandten Oberfläche des Untergrundes liegt, auch bei hergestellten Verbindungen zwischen dem zu befestigenden Gegenstand und dem Untergrund noch komfortabel einstellbar sein soll, wobei es nicht erforderlich sein soll, dass ein Teil der Verbindungsvorrichtung seitlich über die dem Untergrund zugewandte Fläche des zu befestigenden Gegenstandes vorsteht und wobei der Abstand zwischen dem zu befestigenden Gegenstand und dem Untergrund "relativ klein" sein kann.The inclination of the object to be fastened to the ground around at least one axis, which is parallel to the object to be fastened facing the surface of the substrate, even with manufactured connections between the object to be fastened and the surface should still be comfortably adjustable, it should not be necessary that a part of the connecting device projecting laterally beyond the surface of the object to be fastened facing the surface and wherein the distance between the object to be fastened and the substrate can be "relatively small" ,

Für das Lösen der Aufgabe wird die Merkmalskombination aus Anspruch 1 vorgeschlagen.For solving the problem, the feature combination of claim 1 is proposed.

Indem jene Gewindeverbindung mit Hilfe derer das Einstellen angetrieben wird, parallel zur Ebene des Untergrundes ausgerichtet ist (im Fall der Befestigung eines vertikalen Zaunpfahls also horizontal ausgerichtet ist), bleibt bei montiertem zu befestigenden Teil die Zugänglichkeit zur Gewindeverstellung selbst dann gut erhalten, wenn die Verbindungsvorrichtung nicht unter der Grundfläche des zu befestigenden Gegenstandes vorsteht und sehr flach ausgebildet ist.By aligning those threaded connections by means of which the adjustment is driven parallel to the plane of the ground (thus horizontally aligned in the case of fixing a vertical fence post), the accessibility to threading remains well preserved when the fastened part is mounted, even if the connecting device does not protrude below the base of the object to be fastened and is designed to be very flat.

Die Erfindung wird an Hand mehrerer Zeichnungen zu einem vorteilhaften Ausführungsbeispiel einer erfindungsgemäßen Verbindungsvorrichtung veranschaulicht und näher erläutert:

Fig. 1:
zeigt eine beispielhafte erfindungsgemäße Verbindungsvorrichtung in eingebautem Zustand in seitlicher Teilschnittansicht.
Fig. 2:
zeigt die Verbindungsvorrichtung von Fig. 1 allein in Schnittansicht von oben.
The invention is illustrated with reference to several drawings to an advantageous embodiment of a connecting device according to the invention and explained in more detail:
Fig. 1:
shows an exemplary connecting device according to the invention in the installed state in a side partial sectional view.
Fig. 2:
shows the connecting device of Fig. 1 alone in a sectional view from above.

Gemäß Fig. 1 ist mit Hilfe einer erfindungsgemäßen Verbindungsvorrichtung 1 ein zu befestigender Gegenstand 2 an einem Untergrund 3 befestigt, wobei sich die Verbindungsvorrichtung 1 zwischen dem zu befestigenden Gegenstand 3 und dem Untergrund 3 befindet, an beiden anliegt, und mit beiden starr verbunden ist.According to Fig. 1 is attached by means of a connecting device 1 according to the invention an object to be fastened 2 to a substrate 3, wherein the connecting device 1 is located between the object to be fastened 3 and the substrate 3, abuts both, and is rigidly connected to both.

Die Verbindungsvorrichtung 1 weist einen Unterteil 4 und einen Oberteil 5 auf. Beide haben die Form eines flachen kreiszylinderförmigen Topfes mit ebenem Boden. Der Unterteil 4 liegt mit der Außenseite seines Bodens 6 am Untergrund 3 oben auf und ist mit diesem mittels Schrauben 7 verbunden, welche durch Schraubendurchgangsbohrungen im Boden 6 hindurch und in den Untergrund 3 hinein verlaufen. Der Oberteil 5 liegt mit der Außenseite seines Bodens 8 an der Unterseite des zu befestigenden Gegenstandes 2 an und ist mit diesem mittels Schrauben 9 verbunden, welche durch Schraubendurchgangsbohrungen im Boden 8 hindurch und in das Material des zu befestigenden Gegenstandes 2 hinein verlaufen.The connecting device 1 has a lower part 4 and an upper part 5. Both have the shape of a flat circular cylindrical pot with a flat bottom. The lower part 4 rests with the outside of its bottom 6 on the base 3 on top and is connected thereto by means of screws 7, which pass through screw through holes in the bottom 6 and into the substrate 3 inside. The upper part 5 rests with the outside of its bottom 8 on the underside of the object to be fastened 2 and is connected thereto by means of screws 9 which extend through screw through holes in the bottom 8 and into the material of the object 2 to be fastened.

Die Zeichnungen zeigen Ober- und Unterteil in jener Lage zueinander bei welcher die tatsächliche Neigung des Oberteils 5 gegenüber dem Unterteil 6 genau die Neigung in der Mitte des möglichen Einstellbereiches ist. Unterteil 5 und Oberteil 6 liegen dabei zueinander koaxial um die Achse 10, welche als Achse der gesamten Verbindungsanordnung 1 angesehen werden kann und welche normal zur Ebene des Untergrundes 3 ausgerichtet ist.The drawings show upper and lower part in that position to each other in which the actual inclination of the upper part 5 relative to the lower part 6 is exactly the inclination in the middle of the possible adjustment range. Lower part 5 and upper part 6 are mutually coaxial about the axis 10, which can be regarded as the axis of the entire connection assembly 1 and which is oriented normal to the plane of the substrate 3.

Die Verbindungsvorrichtung 1 des skizzierten Beispiels weist nur einen einzigen ziehenden Verbindungsteil 11 auf, sowie vier drückende Verbindungsteile 12.The connecting device 1 of the sketched example has only a single pulling connection part 11, and four pressing connection parts 12th

Der ziehende Verbindungsteil 11 - also jener Verbindungsteil, welcher dazu vorgesehen und in der Lage ist, Ober- und Unterteil aufeinander zu zu ziehen, liegt bei der gezeigten Neigungseinstellung koaxial mit Unterteil 5 und Oberteil 6. Er besteht aus zwei Schrauben 13 und einer Gewindehülse 14. Die beiden Schrauben 13 sind mit der als zugehörige Mutter wirkenden Gewindehülse 14 verschraubt, wozu sie mit ihren Gewindebolzen von gegenüberliegenden Seiten her in die Gewindehülse 14 hinein ragen. Die Schrauben 13 liegen mit ihrem Kopf jeweils an der Außenseite des Bodens 6 bzw. 8 des Unter-. bzw. Oberteils an und ragen mit ihrem Gewindebolzen durch eine zentrale Schraubendurchgangsbohrung im jeweiligen Boden 6, 8 hindurch in den Raumbereich zwischen den beiden Böden 6, 8 in welchem sich die Gewindehülse 14 befindet. Indem die Tiefe des Einschraubens der Schrauben 13 in die Gewindehülse 14 veränderbar ist, ist einstellbar, wie hoch sich die Mitte des Oberteils 5 über dem Unterteil 4 maximal befinden kann.The pulling connection part 11 - ie that connecting part which is provided and capable of pulling the upper and lower parts towards each other, lies coaxially with lower part 5 and upper part 6 in the illustrated inclination adjustment. It consists of two screws 13 and one threaded sleeve 14 The two screws 13 are screwed to the threaded sleeve 14 acting as a corresponding nut, for which purpose they project into the threaded sleeve 14 with their threaded bolts from opposite sides. The screws 13 are located with their head each on the outside of the bottom 6 and 8 of the lower. or upper part and protrude with its threaded bolt through a central screw through hole in the respective bottom 6, 8 in the space between the two floors 6, 8 in which the threaded sleeve 14 is located. By the depth of the screwing of the screws 13 in the threaded sleeve 14 is variable, it is adjustable how high the center of the upper part 5 can be located above the lower part 4 maximum.

Die vier drückenden Verbindungsteile 12, also jene Verbindungsteile, welche dazu vorgesehen und in der Lage sind, Ober- und Unterteil voneinander weg zu drücken, sind jeweils durch ein Plättchen 12 gebildet, welches sowohl an der Unterseite des Bodens 8 des Oberteils 5 als auch an der Oberseite des Bodens 6 des Unterteils 4 anliegt.The four pressing connecting parts 12, ie those connecting parts which are provided and capable of pushing the upper and lower part away from each other, are each formed by a small plate 12, which on both the underside of the bottom 8 of the upper part 5 as well the top of the bottom 6 of the lower part 4 is present.

Die Ebene jedes Plättchens 12 ist dabei schräg geneigt. Mit seinem oberen Randbereich ragt es über den Unterteil 4 nach oben vor und lehnt an der oberen Stirnfläche der Mantelfläche 15 des Unterteils 4. Der untere Rand des Plättchens 12 liegt etwas von der Mantelfläche 15 beabstandet am Boden 6 des Unterteils an. Indem die Neigung des Plättchens 12 wie nachfolgend erklärt werden wird, einstellbar ist, ist einstellbar, wie weit das Plättchen 12 vom Boden des Unterteils 4 weg ragt und wie hoch damit der Mindestabstand zwischen Unterteil 4 und Oberteil 5 im Bereich des jeweiligen Plättchens 12 ist. Indem einander bezüglich der Achse 10 gegenüberliegende Plättchen 12 verschieden stark geneigt und damit verschieden hoch eingestellt werden können, kann die Neigung des Oberteils 5 gegenüber dem Unterteil 4 verändert werden, womit die Neigung des mit dem Oberteil 4 starr verbundenen Gegenstandes 2 verändert werden kann.The plane of each plate 12 is inclined at an angle. With its upper edge region, it protrudes above the lower part 4 upwards and rests against the upper end face of the lateral surface 15 of the lower part 4. The lower edge of the small plate 12 is slightly spaced from the lateral surface 15 at the bottom 6 of the lower part. By the inclination of the plate 12 as will be explained below, is adjustable, it is adjustable as far as the plate 12 protrudes away from the bottom of the base 4 and how high the minimum distance between the lower part 4 and upper part 5 in the region of the respective plate 12 is. By relative to each other with respect to the axis 10 opposite plates 12 can be inclined differently and thus set different levels, the inclination of the upper part 5 relative to the lower part 4 can be changed, so that the inclination of the rigidly connected to the upper part 4 object 2 can be changed.

Von wesentlicher Bedeutung ist, dass die Verstellung der Höhe der drückenden Verbindungsteile 12, welche im dargestellten Beispiel als schräge Plättchen 12 ausgebildet sind, durch jeweils eine Gewindeverbindung 16 erfolgten kann, bei welcher die Gewindeachse parallel zur Ebene des Untergrundes 3 ausgerichtet ist.It is essential that the adjustment of the height of the pressing connection parts 12, which are formed in the example shown as inclined plates 12, can be made by a respective threaded connection 16, wherein the threaded axis is aligned parallel to the plane of the substrate 3.

Im dargestellten Beispiel besteht die Gewindeverbindung 16 aus einer Schraube 17 und einer damit in Gewindeeingriff befindlichen Mutter 18, welche bevorzugt als Hammermutter ausgebildet ist (in Fig. 2 gut erkennbar). Die Schraube 17 liegt mit ihrem Schraubenkopf am unteren Randbereich der Außenseite der Mantelfläche 15 des Unterteils 4 an, erstreckt sich von dort durch eine Schraubendurchgangsbohrung in der Mantelfläche 15 bezüglich der Achse 10 der Verbindungsvorrichtung 1 radial nach innen, durchdringt mit ihrem Gewindebolzen einen Schlitz 19 am unteren Flächenbereich des Plättchens 12 und ist in dem zwischen Plättchen 12 und Achse 10 befindlichen Längsbereich mit der Mutter 18 verschraubt, welche am Boden 6 des Unterteils 4 aufliegt. Der Kopf der Schraube 17 ist an seiner vom Gewindebolzen abgewandten Seite mit einer Werkzeugeingriffsstruktur 20, beispielsweise einer Innensechskantbohrung für den Eingriff eines Schraubendrehers versehen. Diese Werkzeugeingriffsstruktur 20 ist auch dann noch gut für den Werkzeugeingriff zugänglich, wenn die Verbindungsvorrichtung 1 wie in Fig. 1 dargestellt, schon starr mit dem zu befestigenden Gegenstand 2 und dem Untergrund 3 verbunden ist.In the example shown, the threaded connection 16 consists of a screw 17 and a nut 18 which is threadedly engaged therewith and which is preferably designed as a hammer nut (in FIG Fig. 2 good to see). The screw 17 rests with its screw head at the lower edge region of the outer side of the lateral surface 15 of the lower part 4, extends from there by a Schraubendurchgangsbohrung in the lateral surface 15 with respect to the axis 10 of the connecting device 1 radially inwardly, penetrates with its threaded bolt a slot 19 on lower surface area of the plate 12 and is screwed in the longitudinal area located between plate 12 and axis 10 with the nut 18, which rests on the bottom 6 of the lower part 4. The head of the screw 17 is provided on its side facing away from the threaded bolt with a tool engagement structure 20, for example, a hexagon socket bore for the engagement of a screwdriver. This tool engagement structure 20 is still well accessible for the tool engagement, even if the connection device 1 as in Fig. 1 shown, already rigidly connected to the object to be fastened 2 and the substrate 3.

Wenn beispielsweise der zu befestigende Gegenstand 2 ein Zaunpfahl ist, welcher gegenüber seiner momentanen Lage etwas mehr nach rechts geneigt werden soll, so wird erst der rechts der Achse 10 befindliche, drückende Verbindungsteil 12 gelockert und niedriger eingestellt, indem die zugehörige Schraube 17 etwas heraus geschraubt wird. Dann wird der der links der Achse 10 befindliche, drückende Verbindungsteil 12 höher eingestellt, indem die zugehörige Schraube 17 so gedreht wird, dass die zugehörige Mutter 18 zum Schraubenkopf hin verschoben wird, dabei am linken Plättchen 12 unten von der Achse 10 weg andrückt und das Plättchen in steilere Ausrichtung verschiebt. Beim zweiten Schraubvorgang schwenkt der Gegenstand 2 zwangsweise nach rechts. Sobald die Zielneigung geringfügig überschritten ist, wird die rechte Schraube 17 wieder so weit angezogen, dass die Neigung des Gegenstandes 2 genau passt und obendrein spielfrei fixiert ist.For example, if the object to be fastened 2 is a fence post, which is to be tilted slightly more to the right compared to its current position, only the right of the axis 10 located, pressing connection part 12 is loosened and set lower by the associated screw 17 screwed something out becomes. Then, the left of the axis 10 located, pressing connection part 12 is set higher by the associated screw 17 is rotated so that the associated nut 18 is moved toward the screw head, while the left plate 12 presses down from the axis 10 and the Slide tile into steeper alignment. During the second screwing the article 2 forcibly pivots to the right. As soon as the target inclination is slightly exceeded, the right-hand screw 17 is tightened again so that the inclination of the object 2 fits exactly and, moreover, is fixed without play.

Es sind viele Abwandlungen von der dargestellten Bauweise möglich. Derartige Abwandlungen können kinematischen Umkehrungen zum gezeigten Prinzip sein, also das Vertauschen von Schrauben und Muttern, drückenden und ziehenden Teilen, Richtungen von Neigungen. Im Rahmen des fachmännischen Handelns sind auch andere Übersetzungsmechanismen denkbar und realisierbar, welche das Übersetzen einer Drehbewegung eines mit einem Gewinde versehenen Teils um eine zur Ebene des Untergrundes 3 parallel liegende Achse in eine Bewegung mit zur besagten Ebene normal liegender Richtungskomponente betreffen.There are many variations of the illustrated construction possible. Such modifications may be kinematic reversals to the principle shown, that is the interchanging of screws and nuts, pressing and pulling parts, directions of inclinations. In the context of expert action and other translation mechanisms are conceivable and feasible, which relate to the translation of a rotational movement of a threaded part about an axis parallel to the plane of the ground 3 axis in a movement with said normal plane lying direction component.

Beispielsweise könnte das Bolzengewinde einer Schraube mit der verzahnten Außenmantelfläche einer zur Schraube normal ausgerichteten Gewindehülse in Eingriff sein, welche ihrerseits an einem zweiten, still gehalten Gewindebolzen aufgeschraubt ist. Dabei würde das Drehen der ersten Schraube langsameres Verdrehen der Gewindehülse um deren Achse und damit auch lineares Verschieben der Gewindehülse entlang dieser Gewindeachse bewirken.For example, the male thread of a screw could be in engagement with the toothed outer lateral surface of a threaded sleeve that is normally aligned with the screw, which in turn is screwed to a second, held stationary threaded bolt. The rotation of the first screw would cause slower rotation of the threaded sleeve about its axis and thus also linear displacement of the threaded sleeve along this thread axis.

Die dargestellte Bauweise ist also nur eine von vielen möglichen. Sie ist jedenfalls mit einfachen und kostengünstigen Mitteln realisierbar (sie braucht keine Lager), und robust funktionierend.The illustrated construction is just one of many possible. In any case, it can be realized with simple and inexpensive means (it does not need bearings), and it works robustly.

Aus Gründen der sprachlichen Verständlichkeit und auch weil es gut zu sehr vorteilhaften Anwendungsfällen passt, wurden die durch die erfindungsgemäße Verbindungsvorrichtung zu verbindenden beiden Teile als "Untergrund" bzw. "zu befestigender Teil" bezeichnet. Es sei klargestellt, dass damit nicht die Einschränkungen verbunden sind, dass der als Untergrund bezeichnete Teil tatsächlich unterhalb des zu befestigenden Teils sein muss oder dass der Untergrund wie eine Immobilie in geografischem Sinn ortsfest sein muss.For reasons of linguistic clarity and also because it fits well with very advantageous applications, the two parts to be joined by the connecting device according to the invention have been referred to as "base" or "part to be fastened". It should be understood that this does not imply the limitations that the subsoil must actually be below the part to be fastened or that the subsoil must be stationary in a geographical sense like a real estate.
