Abstract
In order to make it easier to mount for instance playground equipment comprising a tube construction which is anchored to a base the subject invention offers a simplification by incorporating a means to facilitate the longitudinal adjustment of the grooves in relation to the base. This means comprises a tube piece ( ) extending in the tube ( ), which tube piece is anchored to the base and which is configured with longitudinal folds for the formation of outwardly open channels ( ). In these channels ( ) a wedge element ( ) is inserted which by means of bolts ( ) through the tube ( ) can tighten the wedge and due to the cross sectional shape of the grooves cause the tube piece ( ) to expand so that it squeezes against the inside of the tube ( ). In this manner the tube ( ) can be adjusted in the longitudinal direction in connection with both the mounting and the subsequent adjustment.
