- the insert 5 can then be fixed at the wall 51, for example by screwing through the orifices 10 of the plate 6.
- the body 41 for example overmolded on the support 20, has a through hole 42 in correspondence with the bore 21 of the support 20 for accessing the head 27 of the fixing rod 25 in order to be able to pass it from the first angular position at the second angular position and thus achieve the fixing of the climbing jack 40 to the wall 51 of the climbing wall 50 as described above.
- Figures 7 and 8 show the insert 5 'and the support 20' of a variant of the climbing attachment fixing system described above.
- the opening 7 'of the insert 5' has a tapping which extends into the skirt 12 'of the insert 5'.
- the tapping is adapted to cooperate with a thread of a threaded fastening rod of a conventional climbing jack. It is thus possible to mount on the inserts of the same climbing wall conventional climbing holds, with threaded fastening rod, and climbing holds including the bayonet fastening system according to the invention.
- the plate 6 'of the insert 5' comprises a circular central ring of notches 1 1 'of generally trapezoidal shape.
- the orifices 10 ' are arranged peripherally around the ring gear 11'.
- the guide ramp 15 'of the free edge 13' of the skirt 12 ' comprises an inclined engagement portion directly leading to a recessed seat 16' curved towards the plate 6 'with respect to a terminal portion of the commitment part.
- the support 20 ' comprises a circular central ring of notches 23' of generally trapezoidal shape complementary to the notches 1 1 'of the crown of the insert 5'.
- the support 20 ' has, moreover, an outer surface generally having a symmetry of revolution about the axis B' with a substantially median annular shoulder between an enlarged portion in the vicinity of the notches 23 'and a narrow portion. Flats are formed in the enlarged part.
