  • the claw flap advantageously has a latching opening near its lower edge on and in the spring plate is one of its section with a curved surface spring-loaded spring lamella cut into, at the free end one Locking lug is formed, which engages in this latching opening and thereby the spring lamella tightens when the claw plate on the spring plate towards the section with a curved surface.
  • This is the position of the claw plate secured on the spring plate after mounting the lamp and thus also the Seat of the lamp in the mounting hole.
  • a simple one Tool e.g. a screwdriver
  • the engagement of the locking lug in the locking opening to solve, in order to be able to pull out the lamp just as easily.
  • the tongue is at the free end of the plane Section of the spring plate angled or bent, and the claw plate has an opening that is slightly wider than the spring plate; from the side edges This opening protrudes transversely into this opening by the spring plate can be undermined if the claw plate and spring plate are pre-assembled. Instead of the extensions, a bridge-like web can cross the opening. So the claw plate is held securely on the spring plate and when moving guided.
  • the tongue is free End of the flat section of the spring plate bent into a V-shape and on the free V-leg is a nose for engaging the housing of a lamp or Trained lamp.
  • a stop that comes into contact with the edge of a mounting hole when mounting can be provided on the lower edge of the claw plate.
  • a holder for a decorative strip or Lampshade can be provided at the Lower edge of the claw plate.
  • This stop and this holder can be provided in that the Bottom edge of the claw plate bent in the same direction as the claws at right angles and is divided into two lateral sections and a central section is, the side sections stop for the edge of a mounting hole form and the middle section is bent back into a U-shape and forms the holder for a decorative strip or a lampshade.
  • the fastening means 20 consists of two parts, namely a claw plate 1 which is rectangular in its basic form and relatively wide, for example approximately square, claw plate 1 as shown in FIG. 1 and a spring plate 2 which is also rectangular in its basic form but is significantly narrower and longer as shown in FIG. 4.
  • the claw plate 1 has a punched-out opening 3 , which is divided into an upper section 3a and a lower, wider section 3b , so that a step 4 results on both sides at the transition from section 3a to section 3b .
  • the wider section 3b can be interrupted again at about half its height by a transversely extending web, or, as shown in FIG. 1, extensions 5 protrude from its two side edges into the opening 3 at half the height of the opening 3 .
  • Both side edges of the claw plate 1 are flanged at right angles and provided with sawtooth-shaped claws 7 (see also FIG. 2). Also on its upper edge 8 , the claw plate 1 is bent at an angle in the direction of the sawtooth-shaped claws 7 , and the lower edge is bent at a right angle, this bent part of the lower edge being divided by punching into two narrow, side sections and a wider, middle section; the two side sections form stops 9a for the edge of a mounting hole 22, and the middle section is bent back again in a U-shape and forms a holder 9b for a decorative strip 24 or a lampshade (see FIGS. 9 and 10b and 10c).
  • the spring plate 2 is shown in FIG. 4 slightly narrower than the lower portion 3b of the opening 3 in the claw plate 1. At its upper end is punched a central tongue 10 which is bent into a rounded V, wherein in the free V-limb 10a an outwardly projecting nose 11 is formed (see FIG. 5).
  • a central shape 12 which projects in the opposite direction to the V of the tongue 10 .
  • the spring plate 2 is subdivided into a first section 2a, which has a flat surface, and a second section 2b, the surface of which is bent in the longitudinal direction, starting below the configuration 12 , following a round curve; this bent section 2b terminates in two lateral Einrastfort ratesn 13.
  • cut a parachutist from the bent portion 2b, central spring leaf 14 below the expression 12 the following de-energized the spring plate 2 continues the flat surface of the portion 2a and bent the free end and is provided with a latch 15 .
