Fastening Element

Abstract

A fastening element comprising two legs, the two legs being interconnected via a web, wherein at least one leg has at least one recess, wherein a disk is provided which is mounted rotatably around an axis of rotation in the web by means of a rotary element, the disk being designed such that, when rotating around the axis of rotation in a first position, it is arranged between the two legs and, in a second position, it protrudes in sections through the recess, the disk furthermore comprising at least one appendage which, when the disk rotates around the axis of rotation from the first position into the second position, is contacted with a leg prior to reaching the second position.

1 . A fastening element comprising two legs,
 the two legs being interconnected via a web,   wherein at least one leg has at least one recess,   wherein a disk is provided which is mounted rotatably around an axis of rotation in the web by means of a rotary element,   the disk being designed such that, when rotating around the axis of rotation in a first position, it is arranged between the two legs and, in a second position, it protrudes in sections through the recess,   the disk furthermore comprising at least one appendage which, when the disk rotates around the axis of rotation from the first position into the second position, is contacted with a leg prior to reaching the second position.   
     
     
         2 . A fastening element according to  claim 1 , wherein the two legs each have at least one recess. 
     
     
         3 . A fastening element according to  claim 1 , wherein in the second position, the disk protrudes in sections through recesses of both legs. 
     
     
         4 . A fastening element according to  claim 1 , wherein the disk comprises two appendages, each of which is contacted with one of the two legs prior to reaching the second position. 
     
     
         5 . A fastening element according to  claim 1 , wherein the disk is designed in an oval shape. 
     
     
         6 . A fastening element according to  claim 1 , wherein the rotary element comprises a cheese-head screw. 
     
     
         7 . A fastening element according to  claim 1 , wherein two legs are arranged essentially in parallel. 
     
     
         8 . A fastening element according to  claim 1 , wherein the web is arranged essentially at right angles to the two legs. 
     
     
         9 . A fastening element according to  claim 1 , wherein the rotary element is arranged in a guide rail. 
     
     
         10 . A fastening element according to  claim 1 , wherein the two legs project beyond the web and comprise a bearing section on the side opposite to the disk. 
     
     
         11 . A fastening element according to  claim 1 , wherein the two legs form an essentially H-shaped section with the web. 
     
     
         12 . A fastening element according to  claim 1 , wherein the fastening element comprises a coupling section. 
     
     
         13 . A fastening element according to  claim 12 , wherein the coupling section is arranged on the rotary element. 
     
     
         14 . An assembly comprising a fastening element and a component with an essentially U-shaped channel, into which the fastening element can be inserted non-positively in the second position. 
     
     
         15 . An assembly according to  claim 14 , wherein, in the first position, the fastening element can be inserted essentially positively into the essentially U-shaped channel.
