  • Patent number: 6837661
    Abstract: A detachable insert connection arrangement adapted to be connected to a retaining channel having a slot-like opening between two retaining edges and method of connecting a component to a retaining channel. The connection arrangement includes a holder having a push-in part that includes a locking element. The push-in part is capable of being pushed into the retaining channel. A rotation pin is coupled to the locking element. The locking element is at least partially rotatable in two directions. A spring biases the locking element towards a locking position such that when the locking element is arranged in the retaining channel, the locking element bridges the slot and engages an inside of the two retaining edges. The locking element is movable, upon movement of the rotation pin against a biasing force of the spring, to a non-locking position, whereby the push-in part can be removed from the retaining channel.

  • Publication number: 20040240933
    Abstract: Detachable locking arrangement that includes a push-in element, a receiving member having an insertion opening structured and arranged to receive therein the push-in element and a a locking device which is insertable into a clearance area of the receiving member. The clearance area is defined by a space arranged between the push-in element and an inner surface of the receiving member when the push-in element is inserted in the insertion opening. The locking device prevents removal of the push-in element from the receiving member when the push-in element is inserted within the insertion opening and when the locking device is inserted into the clearance area, thereby defining a locked position. The locking device is structured and arranged to automatically and releasably lock with the receiving member. This Abstract is not intended to define the invention disclosed in the specification, nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.
