  • Patent number: 4454382
    Abstract: Means for fixing a device on supporting a channel bar comprise a leg (5), a fixing component (2) and a compression spring (3). The fixing component has a rod (12) and a body (11) which slide in a longitudinal guide (24) in the base (1) of a housing for said device to be fixed on the bar. Two recesses (9, 10) are provided in the base. The compression spring is installed in a partially compressed condition in the first recess (9) and the rod (12) passes through it, said rod forming shoulders (19) with the body.

The plane faces have hooks (58) reaching part of the way up them, and the end of the boss beyond the hooks is polygonal.The tool includes a torque limiter (25), a casing (28), and a drive member (29) passing through the casing and made fast to the torque limiter. The casing has two lugs (44,45) and a lock (30) with hooks (39,39') that engage the hooks on the cap. The lugs on the casing fit in between the lugs on the cap, and the drive member has a sleeve (31) at its cap-engaging end with a socket (32) shaped to receive the central boss (13).
