Abstract
The present invention relates to a securing assembly (1) for securing an elongated support tower (2) to a wind turbine tower (3). The securing assembly (1) comprises a base part (1a) including: a tower holding part (4), a fixed part (5), two arms (6), a plate (6c) arranged at the outer part of each of the two arms (6), the plates (6c) can adapt to the curvature of the wind turbine tower (3) and each comprising at least one rope sliding element (9). The securing assembly (1) comprises a rope (8), being arranged via the rope sliding elements (9), and a rope tightening device (11) arranged on the base part (1a). The rope (8) presses the plates (6c) against the wind turbine tower (3) when tightened.

A securing assembly (1) for securing an elongated support tower (2) to a wind turbine tower (3), the securing assembly (1) comprising:
- a base part (1a) including:
- a tower holding part (4),
- a fixed part (5) fixedly connected to the tower holding part (4),
- two arms (6), each arm comprising an inner part (6a) and an outer part (6b),
- a rope (8) attached to the base part (1a) for at least partly surrounding the wind turbine tower (3),
- a plate (6c) arranged at the outer part (6b) of each of the two arms (6), the plates (6c) being arranged such that they can adapt to the curvature of the wind turbine tower (3) and each comprising at least one rope sliding element (9), arranged to slidably hold the rope (8) and arranged along the plate for guiding the rope (8) around the wind turbine tower (3),
- a rope tightening device (11) arranged on the base part (1a), wherein the rope is attached to the base part (1a) via the tightening device (11) at at least one end, and
- the rope (8) being arranged via the rope sliding elements (9) of the plates (6c) such that when the rope (8) is tightened using the rope tightening device (11), the rope (8) presses the plates (6c) against the wind turbine tower (3).
