A fitting for connecting two structural components, particularly plates, includes a clamping device mounted in the first structural component and an expanding sleeve which can be secured to the second structural component. A bolt is arranged in the expanding sleeve so as to be longitudinally movable by the clamping device for expanding the expanding sleeve using a conical portion of the bolt. The conical portion of the bolt is an approximately cone-shaped projection whose longitudinal axis is laterally offset relative to the longitudinal axis of the bolt.

An extendable ironing board includes a front component which can be folded onto a rear component, wherein the rear component is arranged on a pull-out component so as to be pivotable through at least one parallelogram lever pair from a lower position of rest into an upper work position, and wherein the pull-out component is slideably mounted in a guide member. A control cam is provided at the pull-out component or the rear component and a lifting element is provided at the respectively other component for at least initially raising the rear component when the ironing board is extended by travelling onto the control cam.

Extendable ironing board

An ironing board with a front component which is foldable onto a rear component and with a support carrier for the front component, wherein the support carrier is longitudinally slideably arranged on the rear component and the front component can be moved forwardly beyond the rear component by a pivoting movement of the ironing board. The ironing board further includes a push arm which is connected in an articulated manner to the support carrier and the front component, wherein the hinge connection at the support carrier is located in the pull-out direction of the support carrier in front of the hinge connection at the front component.

A device for fastening an object against a wall as a plug-in mounting is described, which is provided with an externally threaded bolt, onto one end of which a nut can be threaded and on the other end of which, which is at least partially conical and the maximum diameter of which is equal at most to the diameter of the bolt, an expander element composed of two half-shell-like parts is displaceably held. The two half-shell-like expander parts are provided, on their two longitudianl edges which in the mounted state are located opposite one another, with at least two lobes each, which for mutually securing one another axially engage one another adjacently and are held on the conical end by positive adjacent engagement in the radial direction and are disposed on the expander element in such a manner that the expander element parts are transversely symmetrical or in the developed state are point-symmetrical. The half-shell-like expander element parts have at least one stamped-out notch in their back remote from the lobes and beginning at at least one of their transverse edges. Furthermore, the inner lobes of the expander element parts, which protrude outward at a tangent, are provided with a bevelled area at the inner face. A weakening groove is provided in the back or in the vicinity of the outer lobes.

Device for fastening an object against a wall or the like

The device for fastening an object to a wall or the like by a push-in mounting, comprises an externally threaded bolt, at one end of which a nut can be threadedly advanced, and on the other end which is at least partially conical and whose maximum diameter is at most equal to the diameter of the bolt, has displaceably mounted thereon an expander element composed of two half-shell like parts. The two parts of the expander element are provided at their longitudinal edges opposite to one another in the mounted condition with integral lobes disposed transversely symmetrical and, when viewed in development, point-symmetrical, in relation to one another. The edges of the lobes are formed in such a way as to provide, when disposed on the externally threaded bolt, a form-locking connection.
