Straddling dowel for component mounting - has tensioning element with position adjustable between dowel and thread

摘要

Component attachment to a wall via a straddling dowel which has a hollow section and inserts through the component for attachment. A tensioning screw inserted in the dowel fixes the component in its mounting position on the wall. The tensioning function of the screw (21) is enhanced by an element (12) which lies against a stop (11) in the dowel (1) and can be over-ridden in the direction of screw insertion. The dowel position is adjustable in the wall until the element has its stop position over-ridden by the screw, at which point the element locks the dowel mounting in the wall. ADVANTAGE - Mounting point with adjustable component sepn. distance.
