Patent ID: 8348214

Claim:
Mounting arrangement for mounting optical devices, comprising: a mounting plate which forms first undercut guide in order to receive a clamping plate, wherein the mounting plate has a lateral web, in which a first undercut profiled groove is formed, and having a strip opposite the web, said strip being moveably connected to the mounting plate by a clamping mechanism and having a second undercut profiled groove which, together with the first undercut profiled groove, forms the first undercut guide, wherein the strip can be pulled against the mounting plate by the clamping mechanism for fixing the clamping plate, whereby the spacing between the first and second undercut profiled grooves is reduced; and wherein a second undercut guide for receiving a second clamping plate is formed by a third undercut profiled groove in the same lateral web of the mounting plate and a fourth undercut profiled groove in the same strip, wherein the strip can be pulled against the mounting plate by the clamping mechanism for fixing the second clamping plate, whereby the space between the third and fourth undercut profiled grooves is reduced, and wherein the first undercut guide and the second undercut guide are both disposed on one side of the mounting plate relative to a mounting plane defined by the mounting plate.
