Abstract

A quick fastening device for fastening a guide rail to a horizontally extending rod having a bent end section on each end of the rod. The bent end sections each are fixed to a post of a grid. Each bent end section is encompassed by a clamp connected to the guide rail. The quick fastening device includes a stop abutting against the post on a side facing the guide rail. The stop is formed on the clamp.

Claims

1. A quick fastening device for fastening a pull out guide to a baking oven, household appliance, or piece of furniture, the pull out guide having a guide rail, a running rail, and a middle rail between the guide rail and the running rail, the guide rail being fastened to a vertically extending post and to a horizontally extending rod of a grid of the baking oven, household appliance, or piece of furniture, the horizontally extending rod having a bent end section on each end of the rod, one of the bent end sections being fixed to the post, the quick fastening device comprising:

a first clamp fixed to one end of the guide rail, the first clamp encompassing one of the bent end sections of the horizontally extending rod;

a second clamp fixed to one end of the guide rail and the second clamp encompassing a section of the vertically extending post;

a stop formed on each of the clamps, the stops configured to abut against the post on a side of the post facing the guide rail;

wherein the first clamp is fixed on the bent end section of the rod by a latching mechanism; and

wherein each of the clamps provides support under a loading of the pull-out guide to prevent a pivoting movement of the pull-out guide.

2. The quick fastening device according to claim 1, wherein at least one of the stops is formed in the shape of a plate.

3. The quick fastening device according to claim 1, wherein at least one of the stops is formed as a holder having the shape of a U.

4. The quick fastening device according to claim 1, wherein the latching mechanism is formed as bendable webs on the clamps.

5. The quick fastening device according to claim 1, wherein at least one of the clamps includes two U-shaped receptacles disposed at an angle to one another.

6. The quick fastening device according to claim 1, wherein the clamps are fixed on a strip which is connected to the guide rail.

7. The quick fastening device according to claim 1, wherein the clamps are formed integrally with the guide rail.

8. The quick fastening device according to claim 1, wherein the guide rail is disposed at least partially above the horizontally extending rod.

9. The quick fastening device according to claim 1, wherein the latching mechanism encompasses at least one of the horizontally extending rod and the vertically extending post over more than half a diameter of the horizontally extending rod or the vertically extending post.

10. The quick fastening device according to claim 1, wherein the latching mechanism includes a run-in slope formed on a side facing away from one of the horizontally extending rod and the vertically extending post.

11. The quick fastening device according to claim 1, wherein at least one of the clamps includes two U-shaped receptacles which encompass the bent end section from one side of the bent end section in a manner of a claw and are engaged at another side of the bent end section by a lowering of at least one of the clamps onto the bent end section.

12. The quick fastening device according to claim 1, the grid configured for fixing to an outer wall of an inner compartment of the baking oven, household appliance, or piece of furniture, the bent end sections of the horizontally extending rod facing the outer wall and away from the inner compartment.

13. A quick fastening device for fastening a pull out guide to a baking oven, household appliance, or piece of furniture, the pull out guide having a guide rail, a running rail, and a middle rail between the guide rail and the running rail, the guide rail being fastened to a vertically extending post and to a horizontally extending rod of a grid of the baking oven, household appliance, or piece of furniture, the horizontally extending rod having a bent end section on each end of the rod, one of the bent end sections being fixed to the post, the quick fastening device comprising:

a first clamp fixed to one end of the guide rail, the first clamp encompassing one of the bent end sections of the horizontally extending rod;

a second clamp fixed to one end of the guide rail and the second clamp encompassing a section of the vertically extending post;

a stop formed on each of the clamps, the stops configured to abut against the post on a side of the post facing the guide rail;

wherein at least one of the clamps includes two U-shaped receptacles which encompass the bent end section from one side of the bent end section in a manner of a claw and are engaged at another side of the bent end section by a lowering of at least one of the clamps onto the bent end section; and

wherein each of the clamps provides support under a loading of the pull-out guide to prevent a pivoting movement of the pull-out guide.
