  • the second embodiment of the fastening device 1' corresponds to the first embodiment described above.
  • the holding element 17' is larger than the top side 10' of the main body 4' and is essentially rectangular. It protrudes laterally beyond the main body so that a workpiece 2' can be pressed by the holding element 17' against the upwardly facing edge of the support element 3', to which the fastening device 1' is fixed.
  • the holding element 17' is fastened to the top side 10' with two identical clamping screws 18' in a displacement direction running perpendicular to the top side 10' of the main body 4'.
  • the clamping screws 18' are identical to the clamping screw 18 of the first embodiment.
  • the clamping jaws 5a', 5b' are each mounted so that they can slide around a pivot axis.
  • the clamping jaws 5a', 5b' are moved separately by means of a clamping means designed as a clamping screw 11' that is accessible from the top 10' of the main body 4'.
  • the two clamping screws 11' each extend through a hole 12' with an internal thread in the main body 4' that extends from the top 10' of the main body 4' to the first slot 8'.
  • the clamping screws 11' are essentially designed in the same way as the clamping screw 11, but they do not have a driver, but rather a stump at the lower end.
  • the two stubs of the two clamping screws 11' protrude from the two holes 12' and into the first slot 8'.
  • Each of the two stumps presses on an upward-facing edge of one of the two clamping jaws 5a', 5b'.
  • a pressure is exerted on the clamping jaws 5a', 5b' via the stump, by which the clamping jaws 5a', 5b' are pushed into the Fig.6 shown clamping position.
  • Unscrewing the clamping screws 11' upwards means that no more pressure is exerted on the clamping jaw 5a' or 5b' located under the unscrewed clamping screw 11'.
  • Spiral springs (not shown here), one of which is arranged around the pivot axis of the clamping jaws 5a', 5b' and connected to one of the two clamping jaws 5a', 5b', press the clamping jaws apart when the pressure on the clamping jaws 5a', 5b' is removed by unscrewing the clamping screws 11'.
  • Fig.7 shows a spacer element 20 which is designed as a round piece of pipe with parallel end faces 21a, 21b.
  • a diametrically extending slot 22 is made in the spacer element 20 at right angles to the lower end face 21b, the width of which is matched to the thickness of the support element 3.
  • the spacer element 20 is pushed onto the support element 3 with the slot 22. Consequently, the width of the slot 22 should be a small Undersize in relation to the thickness of the support element 3 so that the slot 22 expands elastically when pushed onto the support element and the spacer element 20 sits firmly on the support element 3.
  • the upper end face 21a forms the free end face of the spacer element 20 on which the workpiece 2 can rest.
  • An unslotted area of the spacer element 20 extends in the axial direction of the spacer element 20 from the free end face 21a to the slot 22.
  • the length of the unslotted area of the spacer element 20 is identical to the distance between the upper edge of the support element 3 and the top side 10 of the main body 4 of the fastening device 1, to which the fastening device 1 is attached.
  • the upper edges of the support elements 3 of a water jet cutting system are generally in one plane.
  • a common plane can be spanned by the top side 10 of the fastening device 1 and the free end surface 21a of the spacer element 20, which forms the support plane for the flat underside of the workpiece 2.
  • spacer elements 20 and/or fastening devices 1 can also span a common plane, as in the Figures 18 and 19
  • the length of the unslotted areas of all spacer elements 20 is identical and corresponds to the distance between the top 10 of all fastening devices 1 and the bottom of the workpiece 2.
  • the distance between adjacent spacer elements 20 is to be selected so that the workpiece 2 does not bend excessively between these spacer elements 20.
  • the distribution of the spacer elements 20 over the surface of the workpiece can, as in Fig. 18 shown, may be irregular.
  • a plate-shaped workpiece 2 with a square surface is fastened at all four corners by means of a fastening device 1.
  • the number of fastening devices 1 can also be reduced or increased in order to securely fix the workpiece 2.
  • the spacer elements 20 can also be distributed irregularly over the surface of the workpiece 2. It is possible to project the cutting pattern that is to be produced by the water jet onto the work table using a projection device, in particular using a laser. In the case of a workpiece made of natural material, for example a wooden board or a stone board, grain and color patterns can be aligned with respect to the cutting line to be produced. It is also possible to distribute the spacer elements 20 at least to distribute them mostly over the surface of the workpiece 2 in such a way that they are not cut by the water jet. In this way, at least the majority of the spacer elements 20 can be used multiple times.
  • the spacer elements 20 shown have the shape of a tube with a circular cross-section.
  • the shapes of the spacer elements can, however, deviate from the circular shape.
  • rectangular tubes or other tube shapes can be used whose end surfaces extend at right angles to their axis of symmetry and which have a slot in a plane which preferably contains the axis of symmetry.
  • Other shapes of the spacer elements, each of which is attached to a support element, are shown in the Figures 8 - 12 shown.
  • the Figures 8 - 12 show strip-shaped spacer elements.
  • the spacer element 20a of the Fig.8 has a cross-section that resembles the gable side of a house. In axial plan view, this cross-section is made up of a rectangular basic shape and a roof section placed on top of it with roof surfaces arranged symmetrically to the center line of the rectangle.
  • the slot 22 is arranged in the middle of the lower base line of the rectangular basic shape and extends upwards along the vertical axis of symmetry of the cross-section approximately to the middle of the height of the spacer element.
  • the ridge line of the roof section of the strip-shaped spacer element 20a forms the free end surface or front surface 21a on which the workpiece rests.
  • the spacer element 20b of the Fig.9 has a circular cross-section, with the slot 22 extending radially to the middle of the cross-section.
  • the outer surface of the strip-shaped spacer element 20a opposite the opening of the slot 22 forms the free end face 21a on which the workpiece rests.
  • the same applies to the spacer element 20c of the Fig.10 which does not have a solid cross-section, but a cylinder shell with radial webs, which is manufactured as an extruded profile.
  • the Fig. 11 shows again a strip as spacer element 20d with the same profile as the strip 20a in Fig.8 .
  • longitudinal cavities are provided, which save material and weight.
  • the spacer element 20d is made as an extruded profile.
  • the spacer element 20e of the Fig. 12 is an extruded profile.
  • the profile cross-section essentially corresponds to that of the spacer element 20d from Fig. 11 , wherein the free end face 21a is enlarged by a horizontally extending web.
  • the Fig. 13 a combination of the fastening device from the Fig.1 with a spacer element 20 from the Fig.7 .
  • the fastening device can be combined in a similar way with the other spacer elements 20a - 20e.
  • the main body 4 the clamping jaws 5a, 5b and the clamping screw 11 are essentially designed as described above. Only the top 10 of the main body and the holding element 17 are designed differently.
  • the top 10 of the main body 4 has a guide surface 24 that is beveled relative to the horizontal underside of the holding element 17 and the holding element 17 is designed as a spring clamp.
  • the spring clamp 17 presses the workpiece 2 in the direction of the top 10 when it is pivoted into the horizontal position, as in Fig.10 shown.
  • the spring clamp 17 thus also forms the clamping element.
  • the screw 18 only fixes the spring clamp 17 to the main body 4.
  • the top side 10 of the main body 4 extends from the right edge of the main body 4 facing the viewer to its center.
  • the horizontal top side 10 is followed by the beveled guide surface 24. It is inclined towards the bottom of the fastening device 1 so that the workpiece 2 can be pushed laterally into the gap between the beveled guide surface 24 and the spring clamp 17, as shown in Fig.10 shown.
  • the spring clamp 17 deforms elastically. The workpiece 2 is thus held securely and is easy to use.
  • the spring clamp 17 has - like the holding elements 17 of the previously described embodiment - an opening 25 so that a user of the fastening device 1 can bring a screw tool into engagement with the connecting element 13 of the clamping screw 11 under the spring clamp 17.
  • the shape of the holding element and the clamping device can be varied and adapted to the respective machining process and the shape of the workpiece.
