ABSTRACT:
In order to also be able to use a clamping device with structural components and girders with different dimensions or inclinations, a clamping device is proposed that comprises a tension element, to which a force can be applied, and a bearing element, which interacts with the tension element and is provided with a bearing surface that can rest against a girder or structural component. In order to ensure parallel contact of the bearing surface of the bearing element on a flange of the girder or a bearing surface of the structural component, the clamping device according to the invention further has means for coupling or connecting the tension element to the bearing element, which under the influence of the tension force or clamping force, enables the independent rotation and/or inclination of the bearing element relative to the tension element under the influence of the applied tension force, until the bearing surface of the bearing element is essentially parallel to the girder or structural component.
