Abstract

The invention is a support structure comprising a first support member portion ( 10 ), and a second support member portion ( 20 ) adapted to be fixed to the first support member portion ( 10 ) in various relative positions with respect to the first support member portion ( 10 ) along a slide direction. The support structure is characterised in that the first support member portion ( 10 ) comprises a base plate ( 15 ), a sliding edge ( 17 ) protruding from the base plate ( 15 ) and defining a slide surface, and a tab ( 11 ) arranged spaced apart from the slide surface of the sliding edge ( 17 ), said tab ( 11 ) defining a groove ( 35 ) adapted for receiving an edge ( 34 ) of the second support member portion ( 20 ) extending along the slide direction, and the second support member portion ( 20 ) comprises a cut-out ( 23 ) on the edge ( 34 ) of the second support member portion ( 20 ) extending along the slide direction adapted to enable the second support member portion ( 20 ) to be placed on the slide surface of the first support member portion ( 10 ).

Claims (25)

1. A support structure comprising

a first support member portion, and

a second support member portion adapted to be fixed to the first support member portion in various relative positions with respect to the first support member portion along a slide direction,

characterised in that

the first support member portion comprises

a base plate,

a sliding edge protruding from the base plate and defining a slide surface, and

a tab arranged spaced apart from the slide surface of the sliding edge, said tab defining a groove adapted for receiving an edge of the second support member portion extending along the slide direction, and

the second support member portion comprises a cut-out on the edge of the second support member portion extending along the slide direction adapted to enable the second support member portion to be placed on the slide surface of the first support member portion, wherein the second support member portion further comprises a spacer member adapted for keeping a distance between the first support member portion and the second support member portion.

2. The support structure according to claim 1 , characterised in that the first support member portion comprises a securing bore formed in the sliding edge and the second support member portion comprises a securing-positioning bore, wherein the securing bore and the securing-positioning bore are configured to overlap by sliding the first support member portion and the second support member portion relative to each other in the slide direction, and to enable the first support member portion and the second support member portion to be secured to each other via a retainer member passed through the securing bore and the securing-positioning bore.

3. The support structure according to claim 2 , characterised in that the second support member portion comprises a plurality of securing-positioning bores located spaced apart from each other, each of the securing-positioning bores are adapted to be made to overlap with the securing bore formed in the sliding edge by sliding the first support member portion and the second support member portion relative to each other in the slide direction.

4. The support structure according to claim 2 , characterised in that the securing-positioning bore is arranged along the edge of the second support member portion extending along the slide direction.

5. The support structure according to claim 1 , characterised in that mounting holes adapted for fixing a mountable component are formed on the second support member portion.

6. The support structure according to claim 1 , characterised in that the first support member portion and/or the second support member portion comprises a stiffener member.

7. The support structure according to claim 6 , characterised in that the stiffener member is a stiffening rib arranged on the first support member portion and/or the second support member portion and extends along and/or transversely to the slide direction.

8. A support structure comprising

a first support member portion, and

a second support member portion adapted to be fixed to the first support member portion in various relative positions with respect to the first support member portion along a slide direction,

characterised in that

the first support member portion comprises

a base plate,

a sliding edge protruding from the base plate and defining a slide surface, and

a tab arranged spaced apart from the slide surface of the sliding edge, said tab defining a groove adapted for receiving an edge of the second support member portion extending along the slide direction, and

the second support member portion comprises a cut-out on the edge of the second support member portion extending along the slide direction adapted to enable the second support member portion to be placed on the slide surface of the first support member portion,

wherein the first support member portion further comprises a securing bore formed in the sliding edge and the second support member portion comprises a securing-positioning bore, wherein the securing bore and the securing-positioning bore are configured to overlap by sliding the first support member portion and the second support member portion relative to each other in the slide direction, and to enable the first support member portion and the second support member portion to be secured to each other via a retainer member passed through the securing bore and the securing-positioning bore.
