Adjustable Holder Device for Surface Element Alignment
Here’s PatSnap Eureka !
Summary
Problems
Existing holding devices for balustrades or railings are complex and difficult to manufacture, and they do not allow for simple adjustment of the vertical position of the surface element during assembly, especially when dealing with vibrations or tilting issues.
Innovation solutions
A holding device with screws that directly insert into the holding legs of the rail, allowing for independent adjustment of clamping elements along diagonally arranged support surfaces, enabling precise alignment and tilting of the surface element by adjusting screws, and incorporating restoring elements for easier adjustment and compact design.

General conflict description:
Principle concept:
If a multi-part wedge module with several positioning wedges is used to adjust the vertical position of the panel plane, then the adjustment capability is improved, but the device complexity increases
Why choose this principle:
The holding device is divided into two independent holding legs, each with its own clamping element and adjustment screw. This segmentation allows independent adjustment of each side, simplifying the overall structure while maintaining full adjustment capability for vertical position and angular alignment of the surface element.
Principle concept:
If a multi-part wedge module with several positioning wedges is used to adjust the vertical position of the panel plane, then the adjustment capability is improved, but the device complexity increases
Why choose this principle:
The complex multi-part wedge module is replaced by extracting only the essential adjustment function. Each holding leg has a simple clamping element with an adjustment screw that directly interacts with the support surface, eliminating the need for multiple positioning wedges and cradles while achieving the same adjustment objectives.

Abstract
The invention relates to a holding device for a surface element (2) of a parapet or railing, comprising a holding rail (3) extending along a longitudinal axis (L) and a first holding leg (4), a second holding leg (5), and a connecting web (6) between the two holding legs (4, 5). The two holding legs (4, 5) project from the connecting web (6) on both sides of a vertical axis (H) and define a receiving slot (10) between them for receiving a foot section (11) of the surface element (2). The two holding legs (4, 5) have support surfaces (29) that abut counter surfaces (30, 31) of clamping elements (13, 14). The clamping elements (13, 14) can be adjusted along the vertical axis (H) by means of screws (16). The clamping elements (13, 14) allow the surface element (2) to be clamped on one side and aligned in its vertical position.
