Publication number: 20230219651Abstract: A fastening system configured for fastening a device to a hollow component having two holes situated opposite one another. The fastening system includes a first screw that has a head and that is designed to be guided through a first hole of the holes, and a sliding sleeve having an outer diameter that has a tolerance. The sliding sleeve is designed to accept the first screw at the second hole of the holes. An outer diameter of the sliding sleeve is displaceable in the axial direction of the first screw due to a clearance fit.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 19, 2021Publication date: July 13, 2023Inventors: Claus Fleischer, Conrad Haeussermann, Erdogan Dikmenli, Harald Hundt, Jannis-Jeremias Schipperges, Mehmet Yalcin, Peter Niebel, Rolando Doelling, Sigmund Braun, Stefan Holst
