Abstract
A fastener, such as for pipe clamps, has two parts, to be connected with one another, and a movable fastening part, one part being formed by an elongated strip ( ) with at least one stop. The second part has a plate ( ) extending transversely of the strip with an opening ( ), the width of which corresponds at least to the width of the strip ( ) and of the stop. The fastening part is formed as a spring clip ( ) and has at least one spring leg ( ), movable against a spring force out of the width region of the strip ( ) and of the stop. To make a fastener available, which is as user friendly and economical as possible, the spring leg ( ) can be moved out of the width region of the strip ( ) and of the stop by a rotational movement about an axis of rotation arranged approximately parallel to the insertion direction of the strip ( ) through the opening ( ) in the plate ( ).
