DEVICE FOR FIXING ANY TYPE OF OBJECT ON CEILINGS AND WALLS

摘要

A device for mounting objects of various kinds to ceilings and walls, including a receptacle (1) adapted for being directly connected to the ceiling or wall and an anchoring unit (2) serving to hold the objects. The anchoring unit comprises a locking element (3) which extends into the receptacle (1), a contact element (4) which lies against the outside of the receptacle (1), and connecting means (5) joined at least to the contact element (4) for a connecting element (6). The anchoring unit (2) is adapted for mounting by inserting the locking element into the receptacle, then rotating the contact element which is outside the receptacle and so that the locking element is initially restrained against rotation and then snaps into a locking position behind the shoulders (7) on both sides of the receptacle (1). For realizing a simple handling in the simplest construction, the locking element (3) is connected to the contact element (4) via an elastic member (8), which serves both to reset the rotational movement between the contact element (4) and the locking element (3) for purposes of moving the locking element (3) to its locking position behind the shoulders upon rotating the contact element (4), and keeping it in this position.
