Abstract
A fastening system for covering elements, the fastening system comprising an anchoring profiled element that can be mounted to a substructure and a clip element that can be mounted to the covering element and latched to the anchoring profiled element, wherein the anchoring profiled element has at least one latching protrusion on each of two opposite faces and the clip element has the shape of a U with a central web and two legs, and wherein, in the latched position, the clip element extends over the anchoring profiled element in the manner of a clamp and each leg latches to a latching protrusion in the manner of a snap hook.

A fastening system for covering elements, comprising an anchoring profiled element that has a longitudinal profile direction, two opposite profile end faces, each of which at a respective longitudinal end of the anchoring profiled element, two opposite lateral faces, each of which extending in parallel with the longitudinal profile direction at a respective lateral side of the anchoring profiled element, and upper and lower faces at an upper and lower side of the anchoring profiled element, respectively, and can be mounted to a substructure and a clip element that can be mounted to the covering element and latched to the anchoring profiled element, wherein the anchoring profiled element has at least one latching protrusion on each of the two opposite lateral faces and the clip element has a shape of a U with a central web and two legs, wherein, in a latched position, the clip element engages over the anchoring profiled element in a manner of a clamp and each leg latches to a latching protrusion in a manner of a snap hook, and wherein the profile end faces of the anchoring profiled element are configured as mutually complementary plug-in connections, by means of which two anchoring profiled elements can be plugged together with a press fit in a longitudinal profile direction.
A fastening system for covering elements, comprising an anchoring profiled element that has a longitudinal profile direction, two opposite profile end faces, each of which at a respective longitudinal end of the anchoring profiled element, two opposite lateral faces, each of which extending in parallel with the longitudinal profile direction at a respective lateral side of the anchoring profiled element, and upper and lower faces at an upper and lower side of the anchoring profiled element, respectively, and can be mounted to a substructure and a clip element that can be mounted to the covering element and latched to the anchoring profiled element, wherein the anchoring profiled element has at least one latching protrusion on each of the two opposite lateral faces and the clip element has a shape of a U with a central web and two legs, wherein, in a latched position, the clip element engages over the anchoring profiled element in a manner of a clamp and each leg latches to a latching protrusion in a manner of a snap hook, and wherein the anchoring profiled element bears one connecting part and the clip element bears the other connecting part of a tongue-and-groove joint, which blocks the clip element from shifting in the longitudinal profile direction of the anchoring profiled element in a position in which the clip element is latched to the anchoring profiled element.
