[0159] FIG. 7 a cross-sectional view of an embodiment of a fastening device as per the invention, and

[0160] FIG. 8 to FIG. 28 perspective views of different embodiments of a fastening device as per the invention.

[0161] First of all, it should be noted that the embodiments shown are purely exemplary in nature.

[0162] Thus individual features can be realized not only in the shown combination but also alone or in other technically sensible combinations. In particular, the slotted guide or the sliding block can have a different shape. The positions and the number of insertion/removal sections as well as the fastening devices are also purely exemplary. Furthermore, other objects can be fastened to the holder. The features of one embodiment can also be combined with features of another embodiment as desired.

[0163] If a figure contains a reference character which is not explained in the directly associated descriptive text, reference is made to the corresponding previous or subsequent deliberations in the figure description. Thus the same reference characters are used for the same or comparable components in the figures and are not explained again.

[0164] FIG. 1 shows a fastening system with a planar holder 10 and several fastening devices 12.

[0165] The fastening devices 12 are connected to the holder 10 via a slotted guide 14. The holder 10 comprises vertically and horizontally oriented grooves 16. At some points of intersection of the grooves 16, insertion/removal sections 18 are provided, where the fastening devices 12 can be inserted or removed, since at these sections the openings of the grooves 16 are wider than the sliding blocks of the fastening device 12.

[0166] The holder 10 can have markings 20. The markings 20 can indicate the position where the fastening devices 12 are to be fastened.

[0167] The holder 10 can comprise several holding modules 22, 22. FIG. 1 shows two holding modules 22, 22. The connection is symbolized by the dashed line. Depending on the application, any number of holding modules 22, 22 of any design can be disposed next to each other, especially side by side or one above the other. Preferably the holding modules 22, 22 can have an identical construction.

[0168] The fastening device 12 can be brought into engagement at one of the insertion/removal sections with a vertical or horizontal groove 16 of the holder 10. The fastening device 12 can then be adjusted to the desired position. For this, the fastening device 12 can be moved and detachably fastened in the desired position. The desired position can, for example, be indicated by a marking 20.

[0169] An object 24 can then be fastened to a holding device of the fastening device 12. Alternatively, the fastening device 12, already together with the object 24, can also be brought into engagement with the holder 10.

[0170] The object 24 can, for example, be an item of sports equipment, such as a pull-up bar 26 or a climbing grip 28. Climbing grips 28 are normally fastened to drive-in nuts disposed in a grid, such that, e.g., the distances between the climbing grips 28 cannot be infinitely adjusted. Repositioning is also comparatively complicated.

[0171] However, with the inventive fastening system, the objects can be infinitely adjusted and fastened. In particular, the fastening device can be fastened to the holder without tools.

[0172] Changing and/or repositioning the item 24 is thus particularly easy. For example, the height of the pull-up bar 26 can be adapted to the size of a user. Climbing routes, too, for example, can be changed quickly.

[0173] As can be seen in the side view in FIG. 2, a roller 30 can, for example, also be fastened to the holder 10 by way of sports device. Also, e.g. a barbell 32 can be connected via a hinged holding device 34 to a fastening device 12 fastened to the holder 10.

[0174] In addition, any other objects 24 can be fastened to the desired position as required.

[0175] FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 show an example of a fastening device 12, which comprises a screw device 36 with a star grip screw. The screw device 36 is guided through an object 24 and engages with an elongated sliding block 38. The sliding block 38 can have a dovetail-shaped cross-section.

[0176] Turning the star grip screw 36 reduces the distance between the screw head and the sliding block 38. In particular, in this connection, a threaded rod is driven into a thread of the sliding block 38.

[0177] FIG. 5 shows a wall 40 to which two battens 42 are fastened via dowels 44. Wall 40 can be a conventional wall, e.g. in a fitness studio.

[0178] A holder 10 shown in FIG. 6 can be hung onto to this wall 40. For this purpose, the holder 10 has fasteners configured as undercuts 46.

[0179] On the side facing away from the wall 10, the holder 10 has grooves 16 for a fastening device 12. The grooves 16 are worked into the panel-shaped holder 10, i.e. they do not protrude, as for example would be the case for metal battens screwed onto the outside. The risk of injury is minimised by this flush closure.

[0180] The sliding block 38 of the fastening device 12 can be brought into engagement with a groove 16 at the insertion/removal section. This can then be moved to the desired position and fastened there.

[0181] Turning the screw device 36 tightens the fastening device 12 and fastens the object 24 to the holder 10.

[0182] FIG. 7 shows a cross-sectional view of a fastening device 12 with a sliding block 38, which has at least one overhang 48. Such a fastening device 12 can, e.g., be used with a fastening system shown in FIG. 1, 2, 5 or 6.

[0183] The sliding block 38 extends from a stop surface 50 of a stop body 52. The stop body 52 has a central recess 56. The recess 56 can have an internal thread.

[0184] The recess 56 also extends up to an end-face 58 of the sliding block 38. In particular, the recess 56 can taper towards the front.

[0185] Disposed in the recess 56 are projection device 60 with a projection member configured, e.g., as a ball 62 and a pre-tensioning device configured, e.g., as a spring 64.

[0186] A retaining pin 66 can secure the projection device 60 in the recess 56 and pre-tension the spring 64. Due to the taper of the recess 56, the ball 62 cannot emerge completely in the region of the end-face 58.

[0187] The retaining pin 66 can have an external thread. In this way, the retaining pin 66 can be screwed into the internal thread of the recess 56. This can proceed via a tool holder 68, also by means of a tool.

[0188] The retaining pin 66 can form part of a holding device 34. Objects 24 can be fastened to the retaining pin 66.

[0189] As can be seen in FIGS. 8 and 9, four side-faces 70 extend at an angle in a funnel-shape from the stop surface 50 and thus form the sliding block 38, which can be brought into engagement with a groove 16.

[0190] The ball 62 can be adjusted between a fastening position and a displacement position. In the fastening position, a portion of the ball 62 protrudes further beyond the end-face 58 of the sliding block 38 than it does in the displacement position.

[0191] In the fastening position, the fastening device 12 is fastened in particular to a groove 16 and cannot move. Displacement of the fastening device is effected by applying a force against the spring force. In this way, the ball 62 is pressed inwards. The self-locking mechanism of the fastening device 12 is released, such that the fastening device 12 can be moved.

[0192] FIG. 10 shows a sliding block 38 with eight side-faces 70. This allows a displacement in the x- and y-directions as well as diagonally in addition.

[0193] In FIG. 11, the sliding block 38 is T-shaped with four side-faces 70.

[0194] FIG. 12 shows a fastening device 12 with a conical sliding block 38. Optionally, a structure 72 can be provided on the end-face 58 as an alternative or in addition to a projection member 62.

[0195] Structure 72 could also be shaped differently and, for example, have an undercut.

[0196] In particular, structure 72 can cooperate with an correspondingly shaped groove 16. For example, by twisting, preferably through 90 degrees, the fastening device 12 can be fastened to the groove 16.

[0197] Structure 72 can be provided alternatively or additionally at groove 16. A correspondingly shaped sliding block 38 can be fastened by turning it, preferably through 90 degrees.

[0198] As shown in FIG. 13, the sliding block 38 can be cylindrical.

[0199] As shown in FIG. 14, a cylindrical sliding block 38 can have an annular projection 74, which forms an overhang 48.

[0200] FIGS. 15 and 16 show an embodiment in which two side-faces 70 extend at an angle of 75 degrees and two side-faces 70 extend at an angle of 90 degrees to the stop surface 50.

[0201] FIGS. 17 and 18 show an embodiment in which three side-faces 70 extend at an angle of 75 degrees and one side-face 70 extends at an angle of 90 degrees to the stop surface 50.

[0202] FIG. 19 shows a fastening device 12 with a holding slot 76 on the end-face facing away from the stop surface 50. The holding slot 76 extends across the entire end-face. An object 24 can be inserted, for example, into the holding slot 76.

[0203] As shown in FIG. 20, the holding device 34 has a safety element in the form of a screw 78. An object 24 inserted into the holding slot 76, for example, can thus be fastened.

[0204] As shown in FIG. 21, the holding slot 76 can also have an undercut of 80. In the manner of a bayonet lock, an object 24 can be placed on top and turned, for example through 90 degrees. In this way, the object 24 is secured.

[0205] The undercut 80 could also, for example, form a structure 72 of a sliding block 38 shown in FIG. 12. In this way, it could be fastened to a groove 16 by twisting.

[0206] As shown in FIG. 22, two intersecting holding slots 76 can also be provided. The holding slots 76, can be, e.g. dovetail-shaped.

[0207] As shown in FIG. 23, the walls of the holding slots 76 can also be straight.

[0208] As shown in FIG. 24, an object 24 can be inserted or pushed into the holding slots 76.

[0209] According to the embodiment which is shown in FIG. 25, the holding slot 76 can also extend between the upper end-face and the stop surface 50, e.g. as a lateral slot. In this regard, the holding slot 76 is disposed within the stop body 52.

[0210] An object 24 can be inserted into the holding slot 76. For example, this can be a panel, e.g. a base panel. The panel can, for example, comprise or consist of a plastic, metal and/or glass material, e.g. sheet metal or Plexiglas.

[0211] The panel can be L-shaped, U-shaped or S-shaped. The long limb can be used, e.g., as a supporting surface. A short, lateral limb can be inserted into the holding slot 76 and fastened in it. Depending on the orientation of the fastening device or the shape of the panel, the contact surface can also have a border. For example, the panel can be secured in the fastening device from above or below.

[0212] Optionally, the panel can be secured or locked with a screw 78.

[0213] As can be seen in FIG. 26, instead of a retaining pin 66 with an external thread, a normal pin 82 can also be provided, which is inserted into the recess 56 of the stop body 52. A catch, for example, can be provided on the pin 82 in order that, for example, an object 24 may be fastened to it.

[0214] FIG. 27 shows that the stop body 52 can also have lateral projections 84. The projections 84 in particular can extend in a star-shape. Preferably, the distances between the projections 84 are equal.

[0215] As can be seen in FIG. 28, the projections 84 can also extend above the stop surface 50 and/or the end-face facing away from the stop surface 50. Self-locking can thus be improved, as contact with an edge of the groove 16 is established more quickly.
