Description

Technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to a fastening clip for forming a bird deterrent on photovoltaic modules according to the preamble of claim 1. The present invention further relates to a fastening system with several fastening clips according to the invention for forming a bird deterrent on photovoltaic modules according to claim 9. State of the art

[0002] Fastening clips (also known as clamps) are known from the prior art that allow bird protection grids to be attached to photovoltaic modules to create a bird deterrent. These comprise a U-shaped clamping body, which includes two spaced-apart legs aligned in one leg plane and forming a clamping area, and a profile section connecting the two legs.

[0003] DE 20 2024 100 557 U1 relates to a special fastening clip comprising a U-shaped clamping body with two spaced-apart legs aligned in a plane of the legs, forming a clamping area, and a profile section connecting the two legs. This fastening clip is characterized in that at least one pressure profile, located outside the clamping area, is arranged or configured on the clamping body such that its plane of action is orthogonal to the plane of the legs. This fastening clip thus allows a metal bird protection grid to be securely and easily attached to frameless photovoltaic modules. Description of the invention

[0004] The present invention is based on the objective of creating a further development of this known fastening clip that enables the fastening of one or more tension cables between several fastening clips in order to safely and easily prevent birds from landing on the top edge of photovoltaic modules.

[0005] According to the invention, the aforementioned problem is solved according to the preamble of claim 1 in conjunction with the characterizing features. Advantageous embodiments and further developments of the fastening clip according to the invention are specified in the dependent claims.

[0006] The fastening clip according to the invention initially comprises, in analogy to the known clamping holder, a U-shaped clamping body which includes two legs spaced apart from each other, aligned in a plane of the legs and forming a clamping area, and a profile part connecting the two legs. At least one fastening profile is further arranged or formed on the clamping body and is located outside the clamping area.

[0007] According to the invention, the present fastening clip is characterized in that at least one passage oriented transversely to the leg plane is provided on the fastening profile. Brief description of the drawing

[0008] Further objectives, features, advantages and application possibilities of the fastening clip according to the invention will become apparent from the following description of an exemplary embodiment with reference to the drawing.

[0009] The drawing shows Fig. 1 the fastening clip according to the invention in an advantageous embodiment in a perspective view. Implementation of the invention

[0010] As from Fig. As can be seen in Figure 1, the fastening profile 11 in an advantageous embodiment of the invention is at least partially designed in a rod or bar shape.

[0011] The mounting profile 11 advantageously comprises at least two profile bodies 111', 111'' which are aligned on the clamping body 10 at at least two different angles W', W'' with respect to the longitudinal axis LA of the profile part 101. This embodiment of the invention allows several spaced-apart tension cables to be attached to the differently oriented profile bodies 111', 111''.

[0012] The passage 110 is preferably a bore extending transversely to the leg plane SE on the mounting profile 11 or the profile bodies 111', 111''. Furthermore, such a passage can also be designed as a receptacle arranged or formed on the mounting profile 11 or the profile bodies 111', 111''.

[0013] In a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, several passages 110 are provided on the fastening profile 11 and / or one or more passages 110 are provided on each of the profile bodies 111', 111'', wherein the passages 110 are arranged spaced apart from one another.

[0014] In a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the fastening profile 11 or the profile bodies 111', 111'' and the clamping body 10 together with the legs 100', 100'' and the connecting profile part 101 are formed and / or created from a common molded part.

[0015] The two profile bodies 111', 111'' can be of equal or unequal length.

[0016] The present invention further relates to a fastening system for forming a bird deterrent, comprising several fastening clips spaced apart on a photovoltaic module according to the embodiments in claims 1 to 8 and the embodiments of this description. The fastening system according to the invention is characterized in that at least one tension cable is stretched between the fastening clips 1, which is received at the openings 110 of the several fastening clips 1 in order to reliably and easily prevent birds from landing on the upper edge of photovoltaic modules.
