Cast-in channel

Abstract

The present invention relates to a cast-in channel having a channel body which forms a receiving space for receiving a connecting element used to fixedly attach a fastening element to the cast-in channel, the channel body further being provided with rim holes and with anchoring members which can be fixedly attached to the channel body by mounting them in the rim holes. The free ends of the rim holes point toward the receiving space.

1 . A cast-in channel comprising:
 a channel body forming a receiving space for receiving a connecting element used to fixedly attach a fastening element to the cast-in channel, the channel body further being provided with rim holes and with anchoring members capable of being fixedly attached to the channel body by mounting the anchoring members in the rim holes, the free ends of the rim holes pointing toward the receiving space.   
   
   
       2 . The cast-in channel as recited in  claim 1  wherein the channel body has at least one depression which faces outwardly with respect to the receiving space, at least one of the rim holes being located in the depression. 
   
   
       3 . The cast-in channel as recited in  claim 2  wherein the at least one depression has a bottom portion, and at least one of the rim holes is located in the bottom portion of the depression. 
   
   
       4 . The cast-in channel as recited in  claim 3  wherein the bottom portion of the at least one depression is non-concentric in cross section with respect to the rim hole located therein. 
   
   
       5 . The cast-in channel as recited in  claim 2  wherein the depth of the at least one depression is less than or equal to the material thickness of the channel body. 
   
   
       6 . The cast-in channel as recited in  claim 2  wherein the rim height of the at least one rim hole is no greater than the depth of the at least one depression. 
   
   
       7 . The cast-in channel as recited in  claim 2  wherein the bottom portion of the at least one depression is provided with reinforcing indentations. 
   
   
       8 . The cast-in channel as recited in  claim 1  wherein the anchoring members are inseparably mounted in the rim holes.
