Definitions

  • ABSTRACT A fastening device for fixing a body on a wall or ceiling surface, comprising at least one i :stening member mountable on said holding surface and the body to be detachably fixed having two elongated mounting flanges which are parallelly disposed and project in the same direction transversely to their length for being engaged in fastened position of the body by the member, in which position one flange is lengthwise in contact with the holding surface, whereby the fastening member is substantially covered by the body and comprises at least one lock pawl resiliently arranged for locking the body in fastened position, between the fastened body and the holding surface being provided free space for the pawl to allow its resilient withdrawel from locking position.
  • the fastening device comprises at least one fastening member being mountable on the surface and a body to be detachably fixed having two elongated mounting flanges which are parallelly disposed and project in the same direction transversely to their length for being engaged in fastened position of the body by the fastening member, in which position one of the flanges is lengthwise in contact with the holding surface, whereby the fastening member is almost fully covered by the body and comprises at least one lock pawl arranged for locking the body in fastened position by touching it between the two flanges, free space being provided between the fastened body and the holding surface for the pawl to allow its resilient withdrawal from locking position, if the body is to be detached.
  • FIG. 1 is an end view of a curtain rail fixed on a ceiling surface by means of a fastening device
  • FIG. 2 is a plan view of the fastening member of the device from below;
  • FIGS. 3 and 4 are end views as in FIG. 1 illustrating two intermediate stages of the mounting procedure
  • FIG. 5 is an end view of the device in connection with a curtain rail fixed on a wall surface.
  • the illustrated curtain rail 1 has a hollow profile showing that the two longitudinal side walls 3 and 4 of the rail have each a longitudinal flange 5 and 6, respectively, which flanges project therefrom in the same direction transversely to their length.
  • the mounted rail 1 is carried by two or more fastening members 7 distributed in intervals over the whole length of the rail and each fixed by means of a screw 8 on the ceiling 2.
  • Each member 7 consists of one piece only, preferably synthetic resin, and has two ledges 9 and 10 being interconnected by a traverse portion 11 and destined for engaging the rail flanges 5 and 6, respectively, from below.
  • two locking pawls 13 extend from the ledge 9 towards the ends of the ledge 10 and thereby form each a resilient tongue the spring tension of which is downwardly directed.
  • Each pawl 13 forms on its lower side a locking nose 14 the front side 15 of which faces the ledge 10 and is destined to engage the rail 1 on the inner side of its longitudinal wall 4.
  • the free end 17 of the pawl 13 extends beyond the nose 14 at least as far as the outer edge 18 of the ledge 10 the lower face of which is inclined towards the nose 14 in FIG. 1.
  • the rail 1 can be attached, without any tool, to the described fastening member 7 fixed on the ceiling 2, by tranverse engaging movements in that the upper edge 19 of the longitudinal wall 3 of the rail is brought in contact with the surface of the ceiling 2 whereby the internally projecting flange 5 is opposite to the ledge 9 and the flange 6 is brought from below into contact with the inclined back 16 of the pawl noses 14 (FIG. 3). Then the rail 1 is further moved to urge the pawls 13 upwards (FIG. 4) and to reach the engagement of its flanges 5 and 6 with the ledges 9 and 10, respectively (FIG. 1). As soon as this definite fixing position is reached the pawls 13 return into their normal position and lock thereby the rail by means of the nose 14 the front side 15 of which engages now the inner side of the upper end of the wall 4.
  • the pawls 13 For unlocking the rail 1 the pawls 13 must be lifted at their free end 17 which projects laterally beyond the rail, whereupon the latter can be moved transversely out of engagement from the ledges 9 and 10 of the fastening member 7.
  • the fastening member 7 can also be used for fixing a body such as a curtain rail 20 on the surface of a wall 21, whereby it is suitable to direct the locking pawls 13 with their free end 17 downwardly.
  • the hollow profile rail 20 has formed the two longitudinal flanges 22 and 23 each on a rail web 24 and 25, respectively, projecting from a lateral rail wall towards the wall surface 21. In the fixed position of the rail 20 its flanges 22 and 23 are equally engaged by the ledges of the fastening member 7 and the rail is locked by the two pawls 13 as has been described in connection with FIG. 1.
  • another body may be provided with the necessary flanges and be formed for carrying an object such as a picture, mirror or illuminator.
