Patent ID: 8480330

Claim:
A fixture for attaching a profile rail comprising an undercut longitudinal groove to a component disposed to support the profile rail, the fixture comprising: a main body comprising: a flat planar bearing surface for the profile rail, a rear surface disposed opposite to the flat planar bearing surface, a linear hook segment projecting from the flat planar bearing surface so as to divide the flat planar bearing surface into two coplanar partial surfaces so that the profile rail can rest on each of the two coplanar partial surfaces, the linear hook segment being configured to engage the undercut longitudinal groove, and a slide ramp comprising a second opening, the slide ramp protruding outwardly away from and rising relative to the flat planar bearing surface and being parallel to the linear hook segment; a clamping screw means configured to tighten the fixture against the component at the rear surface; and a gripping wedge of essentially triangular cross-section comprising a top side parallel to the flat planar bearing surface, a gripping side vertical to the flat planar bearing surface, and a first opening, the gripping wedge being disposed on the slide ramp and being configured so as to be slidable via the clamping screw means such that the gripping side contacts the profile rail so as to slide the profile rail along the two coplanar partial surfaces of the flat planar bearing surface and clamp the profile rail against the linear hook segment; wherein, the clamping screw means is configured to penetrate the first opening of the gripping wedge and the second opening of slide ramp, at least one of the first opening and the second opening is a longitudinal opening oriented perpendicular to the linear hook segment, and the main body is disposed to be arranged between the profile rail and the component.
