Anchoring device

Abstract

An anchoring device for securing objects and including a shaped rail ( 2 ) having a substantially C-shaped cross-section and inwardly directed rims ( 7 a, 7 b ) provided with a tooth profile ( 13 ), and a holding member ( 1 ) provided with a toothing ( 12 ) cooperating with the tooth profile ( 13 ) of the rims ( 7 a, 7 b ) and having a distribution ( 12 b ) of teeth ( 12 a ) different from the predetermined distribution ( 13 b ) of the teeth ( 13 a ) of the tooth profile ( 13 ).

What is claimed is  
     
         1 . An anchoring device for securing objects, comprising a shaped rail ( 2 ) having a substantially C-shaped cross-section and inwardly directed longitudinal rims ( 7   a,    7   b ) provided with a tooth profile ( 13 ) having a predetermined distribution ( 13   b ) of teeth ( 13   a ) thereof; and a holding member ( 1 ) provided with a toothing ( 12 ) cooperating with the tooth profile ( 13 ) of the longitudinal rims ( 7   a,    7   b ) and having a distribution ( 12   b ) of teeth ( 12   a ) thereof different from the predetermined distribution ( 13   b ) of the teeth ( 13   a ) of the tooth profile ( 13 ).  
     
     
         2 . An anchoring device according to  claim 1 , wherein the distribution ( 13   b ) of the teeth ( 13   a ) of the tooth profile ( 13 ) exceeds the distribution ( 12   b ) of the teeth ( 12   a ) of the toothing ( 12 ) in several times.  
     
     
         3 . An anchoring device according to  claim 1 , wherein the toothing ( 12 ) has first guide surfaces ( 15 ) at least partially movable into contact with second guide surfaces ( 16 ) of the tooth profile ( 13 ), and wherein the first guide surfaces ( 15 ) are inclined with respect to a longitudinal direction (L) of the rail ( 2 ) at a first angle (α) that corresponding at most to a second angle (β) at which the second guide surfaces ( 16 ) are inclined to the longitudinal direction (L).
