Abstract
For fixating a blade segment () of a rotor blade of a wind turbine to a mould (), in which the blade segment is manufactured, a fixing device () is provided comprising a first portion () for selectively applying a clamping force on the fixating extension and a second portion () for fixating the fixing device to the mould. In the fixing device () one of the first and second portions comprises a cylinder portion () with a threaded structure, and a threaded abutment structure () encircling the cylinder portion and engaging its threaded structure. The respective other portion comprises an aperture () and a recess with a second abutment structure () within the aperture. The aperture () is adapted to receive the cylinder portion () such that the cylinder portion () protrudes the aperture () along its cylinder axis, and the second abutment structure () is adapted to engage and exert a force on the threaded abutment structure () in a direction parallel to the cylinder axis. One of the first and second portions () comprises a lateral opening () allowing a retaining web () of the respective other portion to abut therein.
