Abstract: A fastener assembly (100) includes a securing panel (102) and a fixation member (104) that projects away from the securing panel along a center axis (101). The fixation member includes opposing arms (106, 108) that are angled toward the center axis and opposite ribs (118, 120) disposed between the arms and angled toward the center axis. The fixation member is inserted through openings in first and second components. The arms engage the first component and the securing panel engages the second while the fastener assembly is in a locked state to secure the first and second components together. The fixation member is partially rotated around the center axis to transition the fixation member to an unlocked state. The ribs are brought into contact with an edge of the first component and the arms are moved out of contact with the first component while the fastener assembly is in the unlocked state to decouple the components from each other.

Abstract: A connecting assembly (1) for fastening an add-on element (2) on a carrier element (3) includes a foot (4) which can be inserted into an opening (39) of the carrier element (3) and has fixing means (40) for fixing the foot (4) with respect to the carrier element (3) in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis (41) of the foot (4). The connecting assembly (1) further includes a pin (5) which can be inserted into a passage (20) of the add-on element (2) and has retaining means (50) which counteract a displacement of the add-on element (2) in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis (51) of the pin (5). The pin (5) is adapted to be inserted into the foot (4) and has locking means (52) which cooperate with complementary locking means (42) of the foot (4) in a radial direction with -respect to the longitudinal axes (41, 51).
