Patent number: 8496236Abstract: A clamp for linking a mounting rail to a flange of a beam is disclosed. The clamp includes a lower base, an upper base, a connecting web, and a T-shaped back-gripping element, which is disposed at the lower base for gripping a rail opening of the mounting rail from behind. In the upper base, a threaded hole, which corresponds to the lower T-shaped back-gripping element, is provided for a clamping screw, with which the flange and the mounting rail can be pressed against one another when the lower T-shaped element grips a rail opening of the mounting rail from behind. In the lower base, a threaded hole, which corresponds to an upper T-shaped back-gripping element, is provided for a clamping screw, with which the flange and the mounting rail can be pressed against one another when the upper T-shaped element grips a rail opening of the mounting rail from behind.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2012Date of Patent: July 30, 2013Assignee: Hilti AktiengesellschaftInventors: Thomas Merhar, Ralph Lippuner

Publication number: 20100193645Abstract: The invention relates to a channel joining system (21) with a mounting channel (32) and two joining parts (22) for joining the mounting channel (32) to a support (16). The mounting channel (32) has an installation opening (36) that runs along the longitudinal extension of the mounting channel (32), that has a clear width (B) running perpendicular to the longitudinal extension and that, in one of the profile walls (34), has several fastening openings (37) that are at a distance from each other in the longitudinal extension of the mounting channel (32). The fastening openings (37) each have a clear length (L) running in the direction of the longitudinal extension of the mounting channel (32) and a clear width running perpendicular thereto. Each joining part (22) has a contact section (23), a holding section (24) and a fastening section (27).Type: ApplicationFiled: January 28, 2010Publication date: August 5, 2010Applicant: Hilti AktiengesellschaftInventors: Thomas Merhar, Ralph Lippuner
