Abstract

An arrangement for releaseably attaching a unit to an attachment surface includes a first pair of cooperative engagement members and a second pair of cooperative engagement members. In each pair of cooperative engagement members, one member is fastened to the attachment surface, and the other member is attached to the unit. In each pair of engagement members, one engagement member is formed by a wedge member, and at least one engagement member in one of the pairs is movably attached in relation to its cooperative engagement member. On assembly and disassembly, respectively, the moveable engagement member can be displaced from the cooperative engagement member. In the engagement position, the movable engagement member is fastened against its cooperative engagement member by a tightening device, as a support surface of the unit is in close contact with a support surface on the attachment surface.
