Abstract
The invention relates to an attachment element for fitting parts, comprising a pin-like and substantially cylindrical section (10), which is provided with a radial aperture (13), in which two expanding bodies (17 and 18) are able to be extended in opposite directions past the cylindrical enveloping contour and in this part are guided for retraction, and a link (27) or slide (90), whose one end is acted upon by an actuating lever for moving same and whose other end is secured to a bolt running in axial slots (14 and 15) in the cylindrical section (10), such bolt extending through slots (24 and 25) in the expanding bodies (17 and 18) in such a manner that same are moved outward and inward by pivotal movement of the link or lever.
Claims25
An attachment element for fitting parts, comprising a pin shaped and substantially cylindrical section having a cylindrical axis, axial slots, a cylindrical enveloping contour and a radial aperture, two expanding bodies having intersecting slots and respective ends within said cylindrical section for expansion and retraction relative to the cylindrical section in opposite directions past the cylindrical enveloping contour, a link having two ends and axial holes formed therebetween, an actuating lever acting on one of the link ends for toggling movement, a bolt in the axial slots, the bolt extending through the intersecting slots in the expanding bodies in order to toggle the expanding bodies outward and inward by pivotal movement of the link.
