Abstract
A bearing element for a substantially panel-like component having a support rail adjustably arranged thereon. The support rail may be connected to another bearing element of another component. The bearing element includes a recess in which the support rail is received at least in part. The bearing element includes a base member fastened by means of a pressure element to the component. The support rail may have a straight or angular shape and may include a hinge or joint in its central portion.
Claims20
In combination with a panel-like component, a support device comprising:
- a bearing element fastened to the component, the bearing element having a recess formed on a side opposite the component;
- a support rail with opposing first and second sides, the first side or which is arranged within the recess in the bearing element, the support rail further having a bore therethrough;
- and,
- a fastener having a shank extending through the bore in the support rail and fastened to the bearing element, the fastener further having a head which is larger than the bore in the support rail and disposed on the second side of the support rail whereby when tightened the fastener will hold the support rail in fixed relation to the bearing element and the component.
In combination with a panel-like component with a bore therethrough for receiving a support device, the support device comprising:
- a bearing element which includes a pressure element disposed adjacent the bore in the component and a base member disposed adjacent the component on an opposite side of the component from the pressure element, the base member having an axial bore in communication with the bore in the component and a recess on a side opposite the component;
- a support rail with opposing first and second sides, the first side of which is arranged within the recess in the base member, the support rail further having a bore therethrough in communication with the bore in the base member;
- and,
- a fastener having a shank extending through the bores in the support rail, the base member and the component, and attached to the pressure element, the fastener further having a head which is larger than the bore in the support rail and disposed on the second side of the support rail whereby when tightened the fastener will hold the pressure element, the base member, the support rail and the component all in fixed relation to each other.
