Abstract:
Clamping device for detachably connecting two profiled parts (1; 19), comprising:a first profiled part (1) having an insert core (2; 61) inserted and secured therein, said insert core having an axially movable slide (7) with an end part for displacing a clamping element, said clamping element capable of at least partially being inserted into an opening in a second profiled part (19), said clamping element exerting clamping pressure against a portion of the second profiled part, said portion of said second profiled part partially closes an opening in the first profiled part through which said clamping element extends, wherein the insert core (2; 61) includes outer walls and rotating means provided through one of said outer walls for axially displacing said axially movable slide via a system of sliding surfaces which engage the axially movable slide, and wherein said outer walls of said insert core (2; 61) are defined by two wide and two narrow outer walls, and the rotating means engage the axially movable slide through a first wide outer wall, the axially movable slide has two mutually opposite border portions (74, 75; 74', 75'; 154) that are flat and in the form of a plate, and wherein the insert core (2; 61) has two elongated sliding surfaces disposed laterally in said insert core for guiding these two flat border portions (74, 75; 74', 75'; 154) of the axially movable slide, wherein a head (4) of an eccentric (5), is arranged rotatably in a bore (3) in said first wide outer wall of the insert core (2), wherein the head has a diameter which is larger than a nominal diameter of an eccentric roller (22), and wherein a resilient locking plate (43), is arranged such that it slides into an interior of the insert core (2) adjacent to an inside portion of said first wide outer wall, said resilient locking plate having a fork-like opening (50) into which an eccentric neck (20), of the eccentric (5) is displaceably inserted, and said locking plate (43) exerting spring pressure in the region of said fork-like opening (50) to outwardly push the eccentric (5) through the bore (3) in said first wide outer wall.
