Definitions

  • the invention relates to a multipurpose fastener with a line connection angle.
  • Line connection angles also called battery connection angles
  • a connection angle can be fixed to a wall in order to deflect a conduit extending essentially parallel to the wall in one direction by, for example, 90 °.
  • the line connection angle is connected to one or more fittings to the pipe connection as well as a fixing element, to fix the connection bracket either on the wall directly or on a mounting rail. While a direct attachment to the wall for a connection angle is sufficient, the mounting rail is mainly used for attaching multiple battery connection angle.
  • FIG. 13 shows a schematic overview of the known solutions.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide a more flexible attachment for battery connections, in particular battery connection angle.
  • a sheet-like terminal body which has at least two openings or fixing holes for fixing the element to a wall.
  • the line angle in particular a battery connection angle, a wall angle, or another fluid-carrying medium is attached.
  • the holes in the flat connection body are suitably designed to be freely accessible.
  • At least one fixing device is arranged on the rear side of the connection body.
  • the fixing device is designed such that it has a corresponding fixing element as a counterpart to a mounting piece, so that the connector body is secured against rotation and preferably in at least two positions, such that at least one of the attachment through holes of the connector body of an opening on the mounting piece for mounting the connector body on Mounting piece opposite.
  • the fixing device comprises at least one recess on the connection body.
  • a locking pin is additionally provided as a counterpart, which is fitted in the recess.
  • This counterpart can be fixed to the mounting piece, but also present as an additional element.
  • the counterpart allowed a torsion-proof coupling of the connector body with the mounting piece.
  • the multi-purpose fastening element according to the invention can be fastened directly to a wall or a plaster element by means of a plurality of screws via the at least two fastening holes provided in the connector body.
  • existing mounting pieces such as mounting rails or mounting elements
  • these include a part of the fixing device such that the connector body can be coupled with its rear side with the mounting piece. Consequently, two different embodiments are suitable, either for mounting on a mounting rail or directly on the wall no longer necessary. Rather, the multi-purpose fastening element according to the invention can be used for both types of fastening.
  • the fixing device on the back of the connector body comprises an asymmetrically shaped recess.
  • the counterpart, for example, a securing or positioning bolt is also designed asymmetrically in this embodiment, such that at least two different positions of the bolt are provided within the recess on the back of the connector body.
  • the connector body can be flanged in different positions on the mounting piece.
  • the positions are configured in such a way that when the connecting body is flanged over the positioning bolt to the mounting piece, at least one of the two fastening through holes faces a correspondingly arranged opening in the mounting piece, so that the connecting body is firmly but simultaneously reversibly fixed via an additional connection to the mounting piece.
  • the opening at the Mounting piece can have an internal thread for this purpose.
  • the connection may be a screw but also a stuck bolt or connector.
  • the asymmetrical configuration of the fixing device causes a rotationally secure connection of the connecting body to the mounting piece. This allows a total of a quick and easy attachment of the connector body to the mounting piece, even without a fitter must know an exact position of the fixing device and its elements.
  • the fixing device is designed with two adjacent recesses in the connection body.
  • bolts are used, which are present either as a movable and separable element or attached to the mounting piece in an alternative embodiment.
  • a plurality of recesses are provided as fixing elements in the connection body and two fixing bolts.
  • a first fixing element in the form of a recess with a first diameter and a second fixing element in the form of a recess with a second diameter is provided.
  • the different diameters allow a more precise positioning or a clear assignment of possible fixing bolts on the mounting piece.
  • the recesses can be different deep. This way you can Installer quickly find the correct position of the connector body with respect to the mounting piece during assembly and turn the body to the desired position via a rotation.
  • the fixing device comprises two securing or fixing bolts of different lengths. This allows an installer to couple the connector by means of the longer fixing bolt with the mounting piece and then to achieve an anti-rotation in the desired position by coupling with the second bolt.
  • a plurality of recesses may be provided in the connection body for the second fixing bolt or a plurality of recesses in the mounting piece for the second fixing bolt. This allows by means of the first fastening bolt a coupling between the connecting body and mounting piece and a positioning of the fastening element and thus the line angle in different positions on the second fixing bolt.
  • the fixing bolts or the securing elements may be made of a material which is softer than the material of the mounting piece or the material of the connection body.
  • the fixation and complete attachment of the connector body to the mounting piece via a connection through one of the openings of the connector body is reversible. Due to the different positioning of the connector body on the mounting piece a plurality of openings are necessary either on the connector body or on the mounting piece, of which at least one opposite each other in a rotationally secure positioning of the connector body on the mounting piece.
  • the fixing bolts or securing elements can be equipped with barbs or retaining clips or retaining elements, so that after a rotation-proof positioning of the connector body on the mounting piece, a first, if only rudimentary fastening and mounting is achieved. In this way, the assembly is simplified, as an unintentional "falling off of the connector is avoided., Of course, can also fixation or locking pins use.
