Abstract

An anchoring unit for a system, the anchoring unit having at least one first insulation layer and at least one second insulation layer. The anchoring unit furthermore includes a support layer for mechanically stabilising the insulation layers, the support layer being arranged between the first insulation layer and second insulation layer. The anchoring unit furthermore includes at least two screws, the screws being oriented in opposition to one another, a first screw being suitable for anchoring to the system and a second screw being suitable for anchoring to an anchor object. A first screw head of the first screw is in direct contact with the support layer. A screw shank of the first screw is arranged at least partially in the first insulation layer. A method includes fastening a system to the anchoring unit.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An anchoring unit for a system, comprising:
at least one first insulation layer and at least one second insulation layer,
a base layer for mechanically stabilizing the first and second insulation layers, wherein the base layer is arranged between the first insulation layer and second insulation layer,
at least two screws, wherein the screws are aligned in opposite directions,
wherein a first screw is suitable for anchoring to the system and a second screw is suitable for anchoring to an anchor object,
wherein a first screw shaft of the first screw and/or a second screw shaft of the second screw is at least partially surrounded by an electrically insulating insulation sleeve, and
wherein at least the first insulation layer and the base layer are surrounded by an elastic electrically insulating water-tight cover.

2. The anchoring unit as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein the second screw shaft of the second screw is at least partially arranged in the second insulation layer.

3. The anchoring unit as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein the first screw shaft of the first screw is at least partially arranged in the first insulation layer.

4. The anchoring unit as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein an insulating washer is arranged between a first screw head and the base layer and/or between a second screw head and the base layer.

5. The anchoring unit as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein the first screw is in direct contact with the second insulation layer.

6. The anchoring unit as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein the base layer has a first cutout for countersinking a screw head of the first screw and/or a second cutout, which is arranged offset from the first cutout on an opposite side of the base layer, for countersinking a screw head of the second screw.

7. The anchoring unit as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein the second screw shaft of the second screw is arranged in an elastic sleeve.

8. The anchoring unit as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein the anchoring unit has two first screws and two second screws.

9. The anchoring unit as claimed in claim 8 ,
wherein the two first screws and the two second screws are arranged mirror-symmetrically with respect to an axis of symmetry extending vertically to the base layer.

10. A system unit comprising:
an anchoring unit as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein the first screw is connected to the system and the second screw is connected to the anchor object.

11. A method for fastening a system to an anchor object, comprising:
providing an anchoring unit with at least one first insulation layer and at least one second insulation layer, a base layer for mechanically stabilizing the first and second insulation layers, wherein the base layer is arranged between the first insulation layer and second insulation layer, with at least two screws, wherein the screws are aligned in opposite directions to one another, wherein a first screw is suitable for anchoring to the system and a second screw is suitable for anchoring to an anchor object, wherein a first screw shaft of the first screw and/or a second screw shaft of the second screw is at least partially surrounded by an insulation sleeve, and wherein at least the first insulation layer and the base layer are surrounded by an elastic electrically insulating water-tight cover;
fastening the system to the anchoring unit with the first screw; and
fastening the anchoring unit to the anchor object with the second screw.

12. The method as claimed in claim 11 ,
wherein ground, a wall or a mechanically fixed component is used as the anchor object.

13. An anchoring unit for a system, comprising:
at least one first insulation layer and at least one second insulation layer,
a base layer for mechanically stabilizing the first and second insulation layers, wherein the base layer is arranged between the first insulation layer and second insulation layer,
at least two screws, wherein the screws are aligned in opposite directions,
wherein a first screw is suitable for anchoring to the system and a second screw is suitable for anchoring to an anchor object,
wherein a first screw shaft of the first screw and/or a second screw shaft of the second screw is at least partially surrounded by an electrically insulating insulation sleeve, and
wherein an insulating washer is arranged between a first screw head and the base layer and/or between a second screw head and the base layer.
