Claim:
Securing assembly for securing an object to a C-profile type profiled element with flanges which delimit a longitudinal slot between them, said securing assembly comprising: a metal bearing element which has a bearing face which is designed to bear against the outside of the C-profile type profiled element, an elongate metal anchoring part which is situated on the bottom side of the bearing face of the bearing element and has axial end parts, a support for the anchoring part, said support being provided with one or more spring members, said support supporting the anchoring part resiliently in such a manner that the anchoring part can be moved up and down with respect to the bearing element, an accommodation space defined between the bearing element and each axial end part of the anchoring part, said accommodation space being accessible from the side of the securing assembly and designed for accommodating a flange of the C-profile type profiled element, in such a manner that the securing assembly and its anchoring part can be aligned with the longitudinal slot and the anchoring part can be introduced into the C-profile type profiled element through the longitudinal slot and in such a manner that subsequently, after rotation of the securing assembly, the anchoring part, in a pre-fitting state, extends at an angle with respect to the longitudinal slot, so that the flanges are in the accommodation spaces and the anchoring part grips behind the flanges of the profiled element, with the support clamping the flanges of the profiled element between the anchoring part and the bearing element, wherein the securing assembly further comprising a wedge mechanism which is effective between the bearing element and anchoring part, said wedge mechanism comprising at least one wedge element which can be introduced between the bearing element and the anchoring part, said at least one wedge element having a sloping wedge face engaging with the anchoring part in such a manner that when the wedge mechanism is operated, the anchoring part is pushed down with respect to the bearing element and the flanges of the profiled element can be accommodated in the accommodation spaces when the securing element is rotated, wherein two actuating members are arranged opposite one another in order to operate the wedge mechanism, which actuating members can be moved towards one another by a fitter by pressing them together.
