Claims

1. A holding element for securing gratings (50) on supports (40), comprising a leg-shaped first engagement part (11); a second engagement part (12); screw means (30) for securing the first and second engagement parts (11, 12) with each other along a clamping axis (A); and an elongate guide element (13) spaced from the clamping axis (A), securable to one of the first and second parts (12) and displaceable in an opening (20) formed in another of the first and second parts (11).

2. A holding element according to claim 1, wherein the elongate guide element (13) is formed integrally with the one of the first and second part (12).

3. A holding element according to claim 2, wherein the elongate guide element (13) and the one of the first and second parts (12) are formed integrally together as a bent stamping from sheet metal.

4. A holding element according to claim 1, wherein the elongate guide element (13) has, at an end thereof remote from the one of the first and second parts (12), at least one projection (29) that forms a stop for a wall section (28) of the opening (20) formed in the another of the first and second parts (11).

5. A holding element according to claim 1, wherein the elongate guide element (13) has, at least partially, a U-shaped cross-section.

6. A holding element according to claim 1, comprising at least one guiding element (21, 22) provided at the opening (20) in another of the first and second parts (11) for the elongate guide element (13).

7. A holding element according to claim 6, wherein the another of the first and second parts (11) pivots in a plane, which is defined by a longitudinal axis (L) of the elongate guide element (13) and a longitudinal axis (S) of the another of the first and second parts (11), within an angle (α) of −15°-+10° transverse to the longitudinal axis (L) of the elongate guide element (13).

8. A holding element according to claim 1, wherein the second engagement part (12) has an opening (15) with an abutment for the screw means (30), and the first engagement part (11) has a counter-thread (24) for a thread (31) of the screw means (30) and at least one holding element (26) facing in a direction toward the second engagement part (12) for securing the holding element (10) to a support (40).
