Abstract

The invention relates to a bracket arrangement for receiving horizontally arranged profiled supports ( 4 ), preferably for fastening façade panels, wherein the bracket ( 2 ) has a fastening leg ( 6 ), a supporting leg ( 7 ) and a bracket head ( 5 ), wherein the supporting leg ( 7 ) and the bracket head ( 5 ) have a receiving slot ( 9 ) for receiving the profiled support ( 4 ), and wherein the bracket head ( 5 ) has a receiving opening ( 10 ) with an oblong hole-like cross section, and wherein a fixing screw ( 11 ), which projects into or can be plugged into the receiving opening ( 10 ), is provided for fastening the inserted profiled support ( 4 ).

Claims (30)

1. A bracket assembly for receiving horizontally arranged support profiles, wherein the bracket has:

a fastening leg,

a support leg and

a bracket head,

wherein the support leg and the bracket head have a receiving slot for horizontally receiving the support profile, and

wherein the bracket head has a receiving opening with a cross-section having the shape of an elongated hole, and

wherein the bracket assembly further comprising a locking screw which projects or can be plugged into the receiving opening for fastening the inserted support profile;

wherein the locking screw has a self-tapping screw tip for screwing into the support profile.

2. The bracket assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the receiving opening is arranged transversely to the receiving slot and projects through the latter.

3. The bracket assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the width of the receiving slot is greater than the thickness of the inserted support profile.

4. The bracket assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the locking screw has a depth stop or can be screwed in by means of a depth stop.

5. The bracket assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the locking screw is slidably and laterally displaceably arranged in the receiving opening, the diameter corresponding to the width of the elongated hole of the receiving opening.

6. The bracket assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the locking screw is guided in the receiving opening by a sleeve.

7. The bracket assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the locking screw is fixed in the receiving opening by arrangement of a non-displaceable sleeve.

8. A bracket assembly for receiving horizontally arranged support profiles, wherein the bracket has:

a fastening leg,

a support leg and

a bracket head,

wherein the support leg and the bracket head have a receiving slot for horizontally receiving the support profile, and

wherein the bracket head has a receiving opening with a cross-section having the shape of an elongated hole, and

wherein the bracket assembly further comprising a locking screw which projects or can be plugged into the receiving opening for fastening the inserted support profile;

wherein the locking screw is fixed in a non-displaceable manner by the arrangement of a fixed-point claw in the receiving opening, the fixed-point claw being supported against the support leg by two retaining legs.

9. A bracket assembly for receiving horizontally arranged support profiles, wherein the bracket has:

a fastening leg,

a support leg and

a bracket head,

wherein the support leg and the bracket head have a receiving slot for horizontally receiving the support profile, and

wherein the bracket head has a receiving opening with a cross-section having the shape of an elongated hole, and

wherein the bracket assembly further comprising a locking screw which projects or can be plugged into the receiving opening for fastening the inserted support profile;

wherein at least two brackets adjacent to one another are provided, wherein one bracket is fixedly connected to the support profile for fixed-point fastening and the second bracket or further brackets is (are) displaceably fastened for sliding-point fastening.
