Abstract: A fastening device for fastening at least one solar panel to an assembly rail which has a slot bordered by two parallel webs is disclosed. The fastening device includes a locking element with two locking hooks which can be inserted under elastic deformation of at least a part of the locking element into the slot, and which, when the locking element is relaxed, can then reach behind the webs of the assembly rail. The fastening device further includes at least one hold-down element for a solar panel which is connected with the locking element. At least one interlocking element is provided which can be inserted into an interlocked position between the two locking hooks, where the interlocking element prevents the two locking hooks from coming closer to each other.

Abstract: A mounting device is disclosed. The mounting device includes a profile rail having a longitudinal slot that is limited by two parallel inner walls and a fastening part. The fastening part includes a t-nut disposed in the interior of the profile rail, a clamping body connected to the t-nut from the outside, and a spring unit that can be tensed by a movement of the clamping body away from the t-nut. The clamping body is twistable relative to the t-nut and to the profile rail from a sliding angle position into a pre-mounting angle position. The fastening part includes an inclined activation plane that pushes the clamping body away from the profile rail and that tenses the spring unit while increasing the contact pressure of the t-nut on the inner bars when the clamping body is twisted out of the sliding angle position and into the pre-mounting angle position.

Abstract: A support structure for solar panels, including at least one support post having a foot part to be anchored in the ground, a head part situated above the foot part to be connected to at least one solar panel, and a connector that joins the head part and the foot part. The connector has at least one clamping bracket that presses the head part against the foot part, whereby the clamping bracket consists of two bolts provided with a thread and of a connecting strut that joins the two bolts to each other, and whereby the two bolts pass through holes in the head part and through holes in the foot part.

Abstract: A connecting device for a frame structure made of support profiles and crossbars for the arrangement of solar panels, as well as a frame structure with a connecting device, is disclosed. The connecting device has a base element, a receptacle element, and a locking device by which the receptacle element can be fixed relative to the base element on the base element. The base element has a fastening section as well as a support section with a support side facing the receptacle element. The receptacle element has a receptacle for a crossbar of the frame structure as well as an application section with an application side facing the base element. The locking device has a clamping device as well as a bearing device. An application area and at least one depression area are provided between the clamping device and the bearing device.

Abstract: A clamp for at least one plate element, with a first clamp part and a second clamp part, the clamp parts adjustable relative to each other between an open position and a clamping position for the plate element, and with at least one elastomer profile that is arranged between the two clamp parts and that has an area with a U-shaped cross section for gripping the plate element. The elastomer profile has a clamping section that is clamped between the two clamp parts when the clamp parts are in the clamping position.
