"Sammenlignet med traditionel udlægning hvor armeringsjernet hæves med løvefødder eller lignende og gulvvarme rørene udlægges og fastgøres til armeringsjernet med befæstelsetråd, halveres arbejdstiden med anvendelse af clipsene"

I think what it means is a low bracket, which may have been decorated with lions' feet.

It puzzled me a bit, and in that case it may simply be a bracket. But someone else wil probably come up with a better suggestion.

Note from asker:
| I am not sure we are talking about the same thing. The "løvefødder" I am referring to are used underneath the flooring, i.e., not for ornamentation. |
