Abstract: The invention relates to an attachment device with a fastener, a first supporting disk and a second supporting disk, wherein the fastener has a head with a head contact surface and a pin extending out along a longitudinal axis, wherein the pin has an attachment end with a contact surface that is opposite the head contact surface. The first supporting disk has a suitably large opening to permit the pin to pass through the opening, and has a wedge-shaped section. The second supporting disk has a suitably large opening to permit the pin to pass through the opening and to permit the second supporting disk to turn relative to the fastener about the longitudinal axis of the pin. The second supporting disk is in contact with the wedge-shaped section and moves along the surface of the wedge-shaped section, when the second supporting disk and the fastener turn relative to each other about the longitudinal axis of the pin.

Abstract: The Invention relates to a device (1, 101, 201) for restraining a component (11, 111, 211), wherein the device has a carrier part (2, 102, 202) and a clip part (3, 103, 203), and the clip part (3, 103, 203 is connected to the carrier part (2, 102, 202), and the clip part (3, 103, 203) has at least one clip surface (7, 107, 207), which is connected to an engagement section (9, 109, 209) of the clip part (3, 103, 203), wherein the engagement section (9, 109, 209) extends away from the carrier part (2, 102, 202) in the direction of a central axis (M), and wherein the clip surface (7, 107, 207) at least essentially faces the carrier part, wherein it is provided that the engagement section (9, 109, 209) is movable in the direction of the central axis (M) relative to the carrier part (2, 102, 202), and a deflection surface (14, 214) is formed on the engagement section (9, 209) and is aligned at an angle to the central axis (M), wherein the deflection surface (14, 214) contacts a protrusion on the carrier part (2, 2

Abstract: Device and method suitable for monitoring an assembly of two components to be connected by means of a clip connection, wherein a sensor for detecting an assembly force and a sound receiver are present.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for holding a component. The device comprises a clip, and the clip comprises a head and one or more clip surfaces for contacting the component to be held or an element on which the component is to be held. The clip surface faces the head at a distance therefrom, and a clamping part is provided which supports the head from the head side facing the clip surface or is connected to the head, said clamping part having a contact surface which faces the clip surface. The device further comprises a spring which is arranged so as to pre-tension the contact surface away from the head in the direction of the clip surface.

Abstract: The invention relates to a connection piece for connecting a surface-structured end of a hose extending along a longitudinal direction to a fluid outlet, which end comprises at least one recess in its surface, with a sealing space into which the end of the hose can be introduced, and with a sealing material arranged in the sealing space, which is sufficiently fluidizable in a first processing state so that a part of the sealing material present in the sealing space can flow into the recess when the end of the hose has been pushed in, and can be hardened in a second processing state in order that the part of the sealing material which flowed into the recess and the remaining part of the sealing material can positively retain the end of the hose by the engaging of the sealing material into the recess in the sealing space against traction forces acting along the longitudinal axis of the hose.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for retaining a component, wherein the device comprises a carrier part and a clip part, the clip part being connected to the carrier part and the clip part including at least one clip surface that is connected to an engaging portion of the clip part, wherein the engaging portion extends in the direction of a central axis away from the carrier part and the clip surface at least largely points toward the carrier part. It is provided that the engaging portion comprises a fulcrum that is located between the clip surface and the carrier part such that the clip surface moves laterally toward the central axis when a portion of the engaging portion, which is located between the fulcrum and the carrier part, is moved laterally away from the central axis.
