Description

The invention relates to an arrangement consisting of a suspension profile and a suspension element with the features of the preamble of claim 1.

Such an arrangement is in the EP 1 955 418 B1 disclosed. The suspension element is held in a clamped manner by the suspension profile, the suspension element having depressions into which ends flanged onto the suspension profile can engage symmetrically.

A similar arrangement also shows the EP 2 060 209 B1 .

A disadvantage of the arrangements known from the prior art is that the suspension element can unintentionally detach from the suspension profile due to external vibrations or human interactions with the suspension element or an object attached to it. In particular, the retention quality of the bracket is already impaired as soon as one of the flanged ends no longer engages in the corresponding recess.

It is therefore the object of the invention to develop an arrangement of the type described in the introduction in such a way that it is insensitive to shocks and accidental human interactions.

This object is achieved by an arrangement according to claim 1. Advantageous embodiments are the subject of the dependent claims.

Accordingly, it is provided that the first and the second holding rail lie in a common plane which is inclined at an angle to the horizontal and in the direction of the contact surface is sloping, so that the hanging element is guided into the contacting position when it rests on the first and the second holding rail in a position other than the contacting position, for example when the hanging element is arranged in a position against the inclination by moving it out of the contacting position the suspension element is spaced from the contact surface and the at least one electrical conductor.

The “contacting position” can in particular be a first position of the hanging element, in which it is in a rest position and in a state suspended in the hanging profile. In this first position, the hanging element rests on the first and second holding rails and touches at least one electrical conductor. The hanging element can be supported by the contact surface so that it is at rest.

The "unlocking position" can be a second position of the hanging element, which deviates from the first position, with respect to the hanging profile, in which the hanging element is decontacted by the at least one electrical conductor and is not in engagement with the hanging profile, for example the hanging element cannot rest on the first and second holding rails and do not contact the contact surface or the at least one electrical conductor of the suspension profile.

By "assembling" or "assembling" is meant the process of hanging the hanging element in the hanging profile, i.e. the transfer of the hanging element into the contacting position ("first position") from any other position in which the hanging profile is outside the hanging profile. With "disassembly" or "disassembly" the reverse process is called, i.e. the intended detachment of the attachment of the attachment element.

If, for example, the hanging element is moved out of its resting rest position, that is to say the first position, away from the contact surface, the hanging element can move back independently into its rest position. The angle α can also result in the self-locking of the suspension element, which can result in a particularly secure suspension. However, a spring can also be provided, which applies an additional restoring force to the hanging element, which makes the hanging element easier in can return to its rest position or is additionally secured against displacement from its rest position. Since the suspension element rests on the first and second holding rails in the first position, it can be mounted in the first position in such a way that it cannot rotate. This results in a safe suspension of the hanging element or an object attached to it. In particular, unintentional loosening can be prevented, for example, by small movements of the hanging element, for example by external shocks or human interactions with the hanging element or an object attached to it. Provision can also be made for the first and / or the second holding rail not to be provided continuously along the hanging profile but only in sections. In this way, hanging areas can be defined section by section as well as areas along the hanging profile in which no installation is possible. The second holding rail can then also be held in its position by additional holding or connecting pieces attached to it. However, the first and the second holding rails are particularly preferably made continuously along the hanging profile.

The suspension profile preferably has a metal profile which is at least partially made of metal, steel, aluminum, an alloy, e.g. Brass, a composite or plastic is made. The hanging profile can also be at least partially chrome-plated or coated. Advantageously, the suspension element can be made at least partially of metal, steel, aluminum, an alloy, e.g. Brass, a composite or plastic. The hanging element can also be at least partially chrome-plated or coated. Particularly preferably, the materials of the hanging profile or its metal profile and the hanging element can be selected such that seizing of the hanging element in its first position is prevented or reduced. For the same purpose, however, the hanging element and / or the hanging profile can also have been at least partially treated with a suitable surface coating.

The electrical conductor can preferably be connected to at least one electrical energy source which can provide a direct current or alternating current or a direct voltage or alternating voltage. In particular, the electrical energy source can be a voltage source. The voltage source can preferably provide a voltage of up to 50 V (AC voltage) or 120 V (DC voltage). The voltage source can particularly preferably provide a voltage of 12 V (DC voltage). The electrical conductors advantageously consist at least in sections or in one Core area made of an electrically conductive material or an electrically conductive material combination or alloy. The conductive material is particularly preferably copper. The electrical conductor can also be sheathed at least in sections. The casing can consist of an electrically non-conductive material. It can be provided that sections of the electrical conductor are not sheathed in order to ensure a power supply for the hanging element only in the unsheathed regions of the electrical conductor.

Preferably, exactly two electrical conductors are provided for the DC solutions described, which are electrically insulated from one another and from the metal profile via the insulator, but are exposed to the contact surface.

Preferably, the hanging profile can have a cavity with an opening and the cavity can be open at the bottom, in particular in the direction of the acceleration due to gravity, the opening being delimited by the first and second holding rails, and the cavity being at least partially by the first holding rail second holding rail and the contact surface is limited. This makes it particularly easy to mount the hanging element.

The hanging profile can be produced using an extrusion process. The cavity and the opening can particularly preferably be made continuously over the entire length of the hanging profile. A particularly large hook-in area can thus be provided along the hook-in profile. As a result, the suspension element can continue to be displaceable along the suspension profile in its assembled state. However, it can also be provided that the cavity and / or the opening of the suspension profile are not designed to be continuous. In particular, by means of a cavity and / or opening that is not continuous, a stop can be provided for a safe positioning of the suspension element, or predefined suspension areas can be identified. It can also be provided that locking members are installed in the hanging profile before assembly of the hanging element, which prevent displacement of the hanging element along the hanging profile. It can also be provided to provide a plurality of short and interconnected suspension profiles, connecting elements between the suspension profiles each serving as a stop for a suspension element. Furthermore, it can be provided that the length of the respective Hook-in profile is precisely adapted to the dimension, in particular the length, of the hook-in element or corresponds exactly to the length of the hook-in element.

The hanging element can advantageously have a reinforcing element. The reinforcing element can e.g. be a rib or a brace. The reinforcing element can consist of the same material as the hanging element or a different material. However, the reinforcing element can preferably consist of a material with a higher modulus of elasticity than the material of the hanging element. The rigidity of the suspension element can be increased by the reinforcement element. However, the reinforcing element can also be designed such that it touches the hanging profile in the first position, i.e. is arranged between the hanging element and the hanging profile. Abrasion of a coating or chrome plating of the hanging profile or the hanging element can be prevented. Advantageously, the reinforcing element can therefore also have a surface made of rubber or another suitable material for this purpose. The reinforcement element can also consist entirely of rubber or another suitable material. In addition, with a suitable choice of material for the reinforcing element or its surface and the hanging profile, seizing of the hanging element can be prevented or reduced.

The cavity can also be delimited by a guide rail which is round at least in sections in cross section. The guide rail can be particularly suitable for facilitating the assembly and disassembly of the hanging element. The guide rail can ensure that the hanging element is guided during hanging or during assembly such that contacting at least one electrical conductor is reliably achieved by the object. The hanging element can have electrical contacts. The guide rail can ensure that a first electrical contact of the hanging element in the first position contacts a first electrical conductor and / or at least one second electrical contact of the hanging element contacts a second electrical conductor.

The pivoting element can be transferred from the first position along the guide rail after pivoting into a second position, the pivoting element contacting only one or no electrical conductors in the second position, so that a circuit is interrupted with an electrical consumer of the pivoting element. It can also do that Hook element can be transferred from the first position to the second position by moving it along the guide rail and then pivoting it.

The hanging element can advantageously have a guide element and / or clip element. The guide element can come into contact with the guide rail during assembly. The hanging element can also have a clip element or the guide element can be designed as a clip element. The clip element can be pivoted, compressed or loaded during the assembly process. After hanging, i.e. in the first position, the clip element can be decompressed or engaged or in contact with the hanging profile. In this way, the suspension element can additionally be secured against displacement from its rest position or against loosening of the suspension.

The guide rail can preferably be essentially rounded in cross section. Due to the rounded guide rail, the hanging element can be guided into the first position particularly easily. Likewise, the hooked-in element can also be easily guided or disassembled into its second position by the rounded guide rail. The cross-sectional shape of the guide rail can advantageously be adapted to the suspension element or to the suspension head of the suspension element, for example rounded or even substantially spherical.

The hanging element can advantageously have at least one electrical contact, the electrical contact in the first position making contact with the electrical conductor, and the electrical contact being arranged displaceably in the hanging element. The hanging element can preferably have slide rails for receiving the at least one electrical contact. It is also possible to provide more slide rails than electrical contacts in order to be able to flexibly hang the same hanging element in different hanging profiles with differently arranged electrical conductors. It can be provided to arrange a further electrical conductor, for example an electrically conductive wire or an electrically conductive cable, in the hanging element. The hanging element can have, for example, a groove, a channel or the like through which the further electrical conductor can be placed. The further electrical conductor can make electrical contact with an electrical Connect consumers in such a way that the electrical conductor of the hanging profile supplies the electrical consumer with electrical energy.

The hanging element can particularly preferably be electrically and mechanically connected to an object to be hung in, the object to be hung in having at least one electrical consumer. The hanging element can be electrically conductive or have a further electrical conductor. The further electrical conductor of the suspension element can connect the object to the electrical conductor of the suspension profile in an electrically conductive manner.

The hanging element can preferably have a center of gravity which is arranged in the contacting position with respect to the first and second holding rails in such a way that a weight of the hanging element is distributed unevenly over the first and second holding rails, the second holding rail being wider than the first holding rail of the mounting portion is spaced. In particular, it can be provided that the proportion of the weight force acting on the second holding rail is greater than the proportion of the weight force acting on the first holding rail. Compared to a symmetrical load, a larger torque must be used for disassembly, so that the object can be secured against unintentional loosening of the attachment.

The angle α can advantageously be between 1 ° and 40 °, preferably between 10 ° and 30 °. The angle α can particularly preferably be between 5 ° and 15 °. This angular range represents a good compromise between slope downforce or self-locking of the suspension element and good assembly.

A part of the surface of at least one electrical conductor can preferably form at least a part of the contact surface. This can ensure that, in the first position, contact can always be ensured between the electrical conductor and the hanging element, since the hanging element contacts the contact surface in the first position or is returned to the first position.

The suspension profile can advantageously have at least two electrical conductors. In this way, a power supply to the suspension element can be guaranteed even if an electrical conductor fails. Furthermore, more than one can occur, in particular when attaching Hanging element result in an advantageous electrical load distribution. For example, a first suspension element can contact an electrical conductor and a second suspension element can contact another electrical conductor.

Preferably, at least a first electrical conductor and a second electrical conductor can be spaced at a constant distance from one another and from the first holding rail, regardless of the position of the hanging element with respect to the electrical conductors. Good contact can thus be ensured even if the hooking element is assembled and disassembled several times, since the electrical conductors are always in the same position.

Particularly preferably, at least one electrical conductor can be arranged in a plane substantially perpendicular to the first holding rail. The phrase "essentially perpendicular to the first holding rail" can in particular mean that the angle enclosed by the first holding rail and the plane is greater than 45 ° and less than 135 °. The wording “in one plane” does not necessarily mean that the center points of the respective cross sections of the at least one electrical conductor lie exactly in the plane. The arrangement of the at least one electrical conductor essentially perpendicular to the first holding rail can result in particularly good guidance of the electrical conductors in the hanging profile. Furthermore, the electrical conductors can be easily accessible, for example if they have to be replaced or if their conductivity has to be measured, for example, during maintenance work. Furthermore, particularly advantageous geometries of the suspension profile can result.

The hanging profile can have one or more webs. At least one web can advantageously protrude from the second holding rail. The webs can in particular be aligned in such a way that the electrical conductors can be protected against external influences such as splash water. Furthermore, the webs can also be labeled or designed to identify a section of the hanging profile.

The hanging profile can be a metal profile, in particular a hollow profile. The metal profile can have on the inside a receptacle open to the inside, into which the at least one electrical conductor is inserted and exposed to the inside.

The receptacle can be designed with an undercut and the insulator can be embedded in the undercut receptacle, the at least one electrical conductor being embedded in the insulator along a first long side and being exposed along a second long side opposite the first long side.

Fig. 1 shows an embodiment of an arrangement 1 according to the invention consisting of a hanging profile 2 and a hanging element 3. The hanging element 3 can be hung into the hanging profile 2 by pivoting as shown below. The hanging profile 2 has a fastening section 7. With the fastening section 7, the hanging profile 2 can be fastened, for example, to a wall, a ceiling, a table, a railing or another object. The fastening cut 7 can have a system perforation or screw thread. The hanging profile 2 can, however, also be fastened with other fastening means or joining methods known to the person skilled in the art. The hanging profile 2 has two electrical conductors 8, which are arranged in a plane substantially perpendicular to the first holding rail 4. An electrical current can flow via the electrical conductors 8. The hanging profile 2 has a first and second holding rail 4, 5 and a continuous cavity 10. The cavity 10 is essentially open at the bottom. The opening 11 of the cavity is delimited by the first and second holding rails 4, 5.

If the suspension element 3 is suspended, that is, the suspension element 3 rests resting on the first and second holding rails 4, 5 and is in contact with the Contact surface 6 and the electrical conductors 8, the hanging element 3 is in a first position (cf. Fig. 8 and Fig. 10 ). Is the hanging element 3 outside the hanging profile 2, such as in Fig. 1 shown, it is in a second position. In particular, the hanging element 3 does not rest on the first and second holding rails 4, 5 in the second position and does not contact the contact surface 6 nor the electrical conductors 8.

If the suspension element 3 is suspended in the suspension profile 2, the electrical conductors 8 can be in contact with the suspension element 3, so that an object 15 fastened to the suspension element 3 can be supplied with current via the electrical conductors 8. The hanging element 3 has a hanging head 18. The hooking head 18 can in particular have electrical contacts on one surface, so that the electrical contacts of the hooking element are in contact with the electrical conductors 8 in the first position. However, the contacts on the hanging head 18 can also be designed such that the hanging element 3 is in electrical contact with only one of the two electrical conductors 8 of the hanging profile 2. The suspension profile 2 has a guide rail 12 and the suspension element 3 has a guide element 13. The guide element 13 can during the assembly and disassembly of the hanging element 3, i.e. when transferring the hanging element 3 into its first position from a second position and vice versa, slide along the guide rail 12 or at least in sections come into contact with the guide rail 12. An assembly aid can thus be provided. In particular, this can result in easier assembly and disassembly. The guide rail 12 can preferably be essentially rounded in cross section, which can result in easier assembly and disassembly. The shape of the hanging head 18 of the hanging element 3 can be adapted to the cavity 10 of the hanging profile 2. This can result in a particularly good fit of the hanging element 3 in the hanging profile 2.

Preferably, the hanging profile 2 can at least partially consist of a metal, steel, aluminum, an alloy such as brass, plastic or a composite. It is particularly preferred if the suspension profile 2 is at least partially chrome-plated or coated. Advantageously, the hanging element 3 can be at least partially made of a metal, steel, aluminum, an alloy such as brass, plastic or a composite consist. Hooking element 3 can particularly preferably be at least partially chrome-plated or coated.

Fig. 2 shows a particularly advantageous embodiment of the suspension profile 2. The first and second holding rails 4, 5 are inclined at an equal angle α to the horizontal plane. In particular, the first and second holding rails 4, 5 lie in the same plane, which is inclined at the same angle α to the horizontal plane. This results in a particularly good resting of the hanging element 3 on the first and second holding rails 4, 5. The angle α can be between 1 ° and 40 °. The angle α is preferably between 10 ° and 30 ° and particularly preferably between 5 ° and 15 °. Due to the angle α, the hanging element 3 can slide particularly easily into the first position during assembly. Furthermore, the angle .alpha. Can ensure that the suspension element 3 is returned to the first position in the event of an unintentional displacement from the first position by a downhill driving force. This can result in a secure hanging of the hanging element 3 in the hanging profile 2. The two electrical conductors 8 are arranged essentially one above the other in a plane essentially perpendicular to the first holding rail 4. The suspension profile 2 has a cavity 10 which is open at the bottom. The opening 11 of the cavity 10 is delimited by the first and the second holding rails 4, 5. The inner walls of the cavity 10 are formed, inter alia, by the first and second holding rails 4, 5, the contact surface 6 and the guide rail 12. The guide rail 12 is flat. Parts of the surface of the electrical conductors 8 form the contact surface 6. This can ensure that when the suspension element 3 is returned to its first position, contact with the two electrical conductors 8 is restored. However, the electrical conductors 8 can also be laid, for example, in the first holding rail 4, the second holding rail 5 or the guide rail 12 or form part of the respective surfaces. It is also conceivable that one electrical conductor 8, for example, forms part of the surface of the contact surface 6, but the other electrical conductor 8 forms part of the surface of the first holding rail 4. The suspension profile 2 also has a functional cavity 17. Cables can be guided through the functional cavity 17, for example. The functional cavity 17 can also be connected in sections to the cavity 10, so that, for example, a cable guided through the functional cavity 17 can be connected to the hanging element 3 or an object 15 fastened to the hanging element 3. The mounting profile 2 furthermore has a web 16 which projects from the second holding rail 5. The web 16 can thus protect the electrical conductors 8, for example from splash water.

Another embodiment of the hanging profile 2 is shown in FIG Fig. 3 shown that the in Fig. 1 shown mounting profile 2 corresponds. Compared to the in Fig. 2 In the embodiment shown, the guide rail 12 is rounded in cross section. The shapes of the guide rail 12 are not related to those in FIG 2 and 3 shown forms limited. The cross-sectional shape of the guide rail 12 is particularly preferably adapted to the hanging head 18 and the guide element 13 of the hanging element 3. Depending on the geometry of the hanging head 18 and the guide element 13, other shapes of the guide rail 12 are also conceivable.

Fig. 4 shows an embodiment of a connecting piece 21 for connecting hanging profiles 2, for example a corner connector. The connecting piece 21 has plug connections 22 which can engage in the functional cavity 17 of the hanging profile 2. The outer contour of the connecting piece 21 can be adapted to the shape of the hanging profile 2. In particular, the connecting piece 21 can be shaped such that there is a continuous transition from the outer contour of the connecting piece 21 to the outer contour of a hanging profile 2 fastened to the connecting piece 21. The plug connections 22 can also be under another than in Fig. 4 shown angle may be arranged. In particular, the arrangement angle can differ from 90 °. In the same way, connecting pieces 21 can also be used, for example, to connect a plurality of hanging profiles 2 arranged one behind the other on a line. Such connectors 21 can be similar to that in FIG Fig. 4 shown corner connector can be executed, wherein the two connectors 22 can be arranged at an angle of 180 °. Other connectors can also be provided. The connecting pieces 21 can also be welded or glued to a suspension profile 2, whereby the connecting piece may have no or only one plug connector 22. The hanging profiles 2 can also be connected directly to one another, for example welded or glued to one another. In this case, a connecting piece 21 can be dispensed with.

In 5 and 6 Exemplary embodiments of the suspension element 3 are shown. The hanging elements 3 have a hanging head 18 for engaging in the hanging profile 2 and a connecting web 20 projecting from the hanging head 18. Objects 15 to be hung can be attached to the connecting web 20. The connecting web 20 does not have to be the in 5 or 6 have the shape shown, but can also be designed differently. In the 5 and 6 The suspension elements 3 shown differ in particular in the shape of the guide element 13. The guide element 13 can also be a clip element 13 or a clip element 13 can be provided in addition to the guide element 13. However, a clip element 13 can also be provided instead of the guide element 13. The clip element 13 can in particular be suitable for locking in the first position with the hanging profile 2 or for being in engagement. This prevents accidental loosening of the suspension. But it can also be an in Fig. 5 Attachment element 3, not shown, may be provided without guide element 13 and / or clip element 13. The suspension head 18 can be semicircular in cross section, but can also have a different cross-sectional shape. For example, the cross-section of the hanging head 18 can be triangular, quadrangular, trapezoidal, rectangular, square, at least partially rounded, elliptical, conical or the like. The hanging head 18 can be made of a different material than the rest of the hanging element 3. In particular, the hanging head 18 can have a core made of a different material from the rest of the hanging element 3. Thus, the hanging head 18 can be designed as a counterweight, for example to facilitate assembly and disassembly, to make it difficult to move from the first position, or to ensure a better balance of the suspended object. The hanging element 3 can have a reinforcing element 19. The reinforcing element 19 can be, for example, a rib or a strut. The rigidity of the hanging element 3 can be increased by the reinforcing element 19. The reinforcing element 19 can also be designed such that it touches the hanging profile 2 in the first position, that is to say is arranged between the hanging element 3 and the hanging profile 2. An abrasion of a coating or chrome plating of the hanging profile 2 or the hanging element 3 can be prevented. The reinforcing element 19 can therefore also have a surface made of rubber or another suitable material for this purpose. The reinforcing element 19 can also consist entirely of rubber or another suitable material. In addition, with a suitable choice of material for the reinforcing element 19 or its surface and the hanging profile 2, seizing of the hanging element 3 can be prevented or reduced. As in Figure 6 shown, the hanging head 18 can also be at least partially open. However, it can also be provided that the hanging head 18 is not open and, for example, encloses a cavity or is solid. Provision can be made for the hanging element 3 not to be in Fig. 6 electrical contact 14 shown. In particular, it can be provided that the electrical contact 14 is arranged in the hanging head 18. The electrical contact 14 is advantageously displaceable. The hanging head 18 can preferably have slide rails 27 with which the electrical contact 14 can be guided. In particular, the electrical contact 14 can slide in the slide rails 27. The number of slide rails 27 can correspond to the number of electrical contacts 14 or larger. The hanging element 3 can be electrically conductive or another, not in Fig. 6 electrical conductor 25 shown. The electrical conductor 25 of the hanging element 3 can be in electrically conductive contact with the electrical contact 14. The electrical conductor 25 of the hanging element 3 can also be electrically connected to an object 15 which is fastened to the connecting web 20. The connecting web 20 can have a groove 23. The connecting web 20 can also have a contact opening 24. The contact opening 24 is preferably designed as a through opening. The contact opening 24 can also be designed only as a recess. The contact opening 24 can be drilled or milled, for example. The contact opening 24 can be connected to the groove 20. In particular, the groove 20 can connect the hanging head 18 to the contact opening 24. An electrical conductor 25 of the hanging element 3, for example an electrically conductive wire 25 or a cable 25, can thus be particularly easily placed through the groove 23, which can connect an electrical conductor 8 of the hanging profile 2 to a current consumer arranged at the contact opening 24. The electrically conductive cable 25 or the electrical conductor 25 can be insulated. It can also be provided that the hanging element 3 consists at least partially of a substantially non-conductive material.

In Fig. 7 An exemplary embodiment of the hanging element 3 is shown. The hanging element 3 has an electrical contact 14, which contacts the electrical conductors 8 of the hanging profile 2 in the first position. The electrical contact 8 can be moved in its position in the hooking head 18. In particular, the electrical contact 14 can be moved after, during or before the mounting of the hanging element 3 in such a way that contact is made with the electrical conductor 8 of the hanging profile 2 can result. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the displacement can, for example, be carried out conveniently without using an auxiliary tool. More than one electrical contact 14 can also be provided in the hanging element 3. In particular, the number of electrical contacts 14 can correspond to the number of electrical conductors 8 of the hanging profile 2. If more than one electrical contact 14 is provided, each electrical contact 14 can have a separate electrical connection 25 with at least one current consumer. For this purpose, a separate contact opening 24 and / or a separate groove 23 can be provided for each electrical contact 14.

In Fig. 8 An exemplary embodiment of the arrangement 1 is shown. The hanging element 3 is in its first position. The electrical contact 14 of the hanging element 3 is displaced such that the electrical contact 14 contacts the electrical conductor 8 of the hanging profile 2. A further electrical conductor 25, for example an electrically conductive cable 25, is guided through the groove 23. The electrically conductive cable 25 contacts the electrical contact 14.

In Fig. 10 is the in Fig. 1 Arrangement 1 shown shown, wherein the hanging element 3 is in its first position.

Fig. 11 shows the hanging element 3 in its second position, that is, in an unassembled state. The hanging element 3 can in its Fig. 12 shown first position are transferred. Regarding Fig. 9 the suspension element 3 is first guided upwards until the guide element 13 touches the guide rails 12. Subsequently, the hanging element 3 is pivoted clockwise, so that the front edge of the hanging head 18 rests on the second holding rail 5. Finally, the hanging element 3 is displaced in the direction of inclination of the first holding rail 4 against the support surface 6 until the hanging element 3 is in the in Fig. 12 shown first position is in the rest position. The suspension element 3 can be reversed from the first position into the second position, ie disassembled, by reversing this sequence of steps.

Fig. 13 shows a further embodiment of the arrangement 1 according to the invention Fig. 13 shown, an additional spring 26 may be provided. When hanging or mounting the hanging element 3, the spring 26 can be tensioned. Thus, the spring 26 can press the hanging head 18 in the first position of the hanging element 3, cf. Fig. 14 . Thus, the hanging element 3 can be secured particularly effectively against unintentional loosening of the hanging. The spring 26 does not have to be attached continuously in the suspension profile 2, but can also be provided only in sections. A plurality of springs 26 can also be used. Instead of a spring 26, a rubber insert or the like can also be used as a safeguard against unintentional loosening. In principle, any resilient or elastic material is suitable as an insert.

The features of the invention disclosed in the above description, in the drawing and in the claims can be essential for realizing the invention both individually and in any combination.
