Abstract

The invention relates to a fastening device having at least one positionable holding device, comprising a base plate having an extensively flat rear surface and a front surface, opposite the rear surface, wherein a first guide channel is formed on the front surface. The guide channel is delimited by side walls, wherein engagement areas are formed at least in sections on at least one of the side walls. According to the invention, a slide element is arranged in the guide channel, which can be displaced along the guide channel, wherein the slide element has a carrying element, wherein two spring elements are formed on the slide element, which can engage with the engagement surfaces of the guide channel in a blocking position, and wherein there is a movable locking element on the slide element, which fastens the spring elements at least in the blocking position.

Claims

1. A fastening device having at least one positionable carrying element, comprising:

a base plate with a largely flat rear surface and a front surface which is situated opposite the rear surface, wherein

a first guide channel is realized on the front surface, wherein the guide channel is delimited by side walls, wherein engagement surfaces are realized at least in portions on at least one of the side walls, wherein

a sliding element, which is displaceable along the guide channel, is arranged in the guide channel, wherein

the carrying element is arranged on the sliding element, and wherein

two spring elements, which can engage with the engagement surfaces of the guide channel in a blocking position, are realized on the sliding element, wherein

a movable blocking element, which fixes the spring elements at least in the blocking position, is provided on the sliding element,

wherein the two spring elements realize a second guide channel, wherein the blocking element is reversibly displaceable along the second guide channel, wherein the blocking element in a first release position in the second guide channel enables a displacement of the sliding element along the first guide channel and the blocking element in a second blocking position in the second guide channel suppresses a displacement of the sliding element along the first guide channel, and wherein a displacement of the blocking element from the second blocking position into the first release position is effected against the force of gravity.

2. The fastening device as claimed in claim 1, wherein with the blocking element in a release position, the spring elements are not engaged with the engagement surfaces, wherein the blocking element fixes the spring elements also in the release position.

3. The fastening device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the second guide channel runs completely inside the first guide channel.

4. The fastening device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first guide channel is angled at a maximum of 45°

to the direction of gravity and optionally runs parallel to the direction of gravity.

5. The fastening device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the engagement surfaces are realized on both sides in the side walls of the first guide channel.

6. The fastening device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first guide channel is closed or closable by a connecting web at one end, optionally at the lower end in the direction of the gravity.

7. The fastening device as claimed in claim 1, wherein guide grooves and latching elements for the blocking element are provided on the sliding element.

8. The fastening device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the sliding element comprises a carrying plate with a horizontal groove which runs perpendicular to the first guide channel, wherein the carrying element is displaceably mounted in the horizontally extending groove.

9. The fastening device as claimed in claim 1, wherein on the free ends of the spring elements, the sliding element comprises two engagement surfaces which can be operatively connected to the first engagement surfaces, optionally can latch in the first engagement surfaces.

10. The fastening device as claimed in claim 1, wherein guide strips by way of which the sliding element is guided displaceably in the base plate, are realized on the spring elements.

11. The fastening device as claimed in claim 10, wherein the guide strips are guided between a base, the base plate and the front walls of the base plate.

12. The fastening device as claimed in claim 1, wherein pressing surfaces are provided on the base plate for applying an installing force when bonding the base plate to a surface.

13. The fastening device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the fastening device includes fastening means, in optionally an adhesive strip which is effective on two sides, for fixing on a surface, optionally on a vertical wall.

14. The fastening device as claimed in claim 13, wherein the fastening means, optionally the adhesive strip which is effective on two sides, are detachable from the surface in a residue-free and damage-free manner.

15. The fastening device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the second guide channel tapers conically in the release position in the direction of the free ends of the spring elements.
