Mounting bracket - Fästbeslag 79389

The present invention relates to a fastening fitting as set out in the preamble of claim 1.

5 Such partitions or light walls are widely used for the decoration of offices and commercial apartments and sometimes also for dwellings. Known partition structures of this type consist of a plurality of blocks connected by vertical wall columns in the form of light metal or steel rails or profiles, which usually have vertically elongate openings or holes at a certain distance from each other.

There is often a need to attach hanging strips to such walls, primarily as supports for drawings, posters, pictures, and the like. However, there have been difficulties in attaching hanging strips to these walls in a fast and secure manner and without leaving permanent marks which, after removal of the strips, degrade the appearance, such as when tape, pins or screws have been used as fastening members.

25

NO-129,711 and US-3,594,028 are known. . fastening fittings, which, however, differ substantially in construction and purpose from the present invention.

30

The object of the invention is thus to provide a fastening fitting for fastening the hanging strips, which makes it possible to insert, remove or move the strips simply and quickly.

35

The above-mentioned object is achieved according to the invention in such a way that the fastening fitting is mainly formed as described in the characterizing part of claim 1.

The invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the drawings, in which Figures 1a-c show one embodiment of a fastening fitting 5 according to the invention seen from the side, front and rear, Figure 2 is a perspective view of the fastening fitting according to Figure 1 in a situation where it is fastened to a suspension strip; Fig. 4 shows the removal of the fastening fitting from the column, Fig. 5 shows on a larger scale an embodiment of the fastening element of the fastening fitting shown in Figures 20 1-4, Fig. 6 shows another embodiment of the fastening element embodiment.

Figures 1a-c show the fastening fitting 1 according to the invention seen from the side, front and rear, respectively. This fastening bracket is primarily intended for fastening the type of suspension strips shown in Figure 2 and denoted by the number 2. A suspension strip with such a profile is well known on the market and is supplied in different standard lengths according to different needs and fastening possibilities. The fastening fitting 1 consists of an ear plate 3 suitable for the hanging strip 2 or 39389, which in the embodiment shown consists essentially of a rigid plate element with double-folded edge flanges 4 for slidably fastening the fastening fitting 5 to the hanging strip 2 at its upper and lower edges.

The mounting bracket 1 can thus be pushed from the side into the suspension strip in the manner shown in Fig. 2. On the back of the ear plate 3, i. on the side away from the suspension strip 10 there is a fastening element 5 of flexible material with two flexible gripping parts 6 projecting outwards from the base part 7 fixed to the ear plate 3. The base part can be fastened to the ear plate 3 by welding, soldering or the like.

In the embodiment shown, the plate element 5 consists essentially of a lorn jet-shaped spring, the gripping parts 6 being formed by flexible rings or spirals 20 bent or twisted towards each other in opposite directions with respect to the base part 7.

When using the fastening fitting according to the invention, the fastening fitting 1 is pushed to each end of the suspension strip 2 and by moving the fittings along the strip the mutual distance of the fittings can be adjusted according to the distance between the partition posts so that the fastening elements 5 will be at the wall post openings 30.

The fastening of the fastening fitting 1 to the wall post 8 is shown in three different steps in Fig. 3. When the fastening fitting 1 is set in a suitable position in the suspension strip 2, 35, the flexible rings 6 of the fastening element 5 are pressed into the wall post 8 openings 9. Upon insertion, the resilient rings 4 79389 are pressed slightly apart as they are passed through the openings, after which they lock back into a slightly tensioned gripping position on the back of the wall post, whereby the fastening sleeve 5 locks in position. The suspension strip is then permanently and securely attached to the C-shaped fastening fittings and can be subjected to both upward and downward stresses. When the hanging strip is taken down, the fastening fittings are only pulled out of the openings of the wall posts 10 in the manner described in Figure 4.

The fastening element 5 of the fastening fitting 1 can have different shapes and different dimensions according to different sizes and distances of the openings of the wall posts and further according to different partition or wall post structures.

Figures 5 to 7 show some embodiments of such fastening elements described separately from the associated lugs 20. As can be seen from the figures, the embodiment according to Figure 5 corresponds to the embodiment present in the fastening fitting according to Figures 1 to 4, which is intended in connection with the flat, rail-shaped wall posts 8 according to Figures 3 and 4. The mutual distance of the fastening parts 10 bent towards each other by the gripping parts 25 6 is adjusted so as to be smaller than the distance between the respective openings of the wall posts so that the desired fastening and tensioning of the gripping parts 6 with respect to the base 30 7 is achieved. in place on the wall pillar.

The embodiments shown in Figures 6 and 7 are intended for partitions of the type in which the wall posts have a profile 35 which is embedded with respect to the wall surface itself. In Fig. 6, the gripping parts 12 of the fastening element 11 are connected from their fastening parts 13 to the base part 14 by means of branch parts 15, which guarantee a sufficient distance

II

5 79389 between the base part 14 and the fastening parts 13 so that the gripping parts fasten behind the recessed wall column profile after they have been passed through the openings of the column. The fastening parts 13 here also consist of ring-shaped parts, but the fastening parts 13 are here bent inwards towards each other from the ends of the branch parts 15. Thus, the fastening parts receive a higher tensile force.

In the embodiment according to Fig. 7, the gripping parts 17 of the fastening element 16 are connected to the base part 18 via the branch parts 19 in a similar way as in Fig. 6, and the fastening parts 20 are also bent inwards towards the ends of the branch parts 19.

15 However, for practical reasons of scale, the gripping parts 17 consist of arcuate parts instead of annular gripping parts.

In the embodiment shown in Figures 1-5, the straight part of the resilient element 20 and the corresponding spring ring form two open, wedge-shaped and resilient parts facing each other, which provide an easily removable but quite effective clamping.

In certain cases, the gripping parts can be formed in one piece with the base part and their locking effect can be arranged in other ways than by elasticity, e.g. by a hooking effect.
