  • Patent number: 5749669
    Abstract: Two components are connected to each other by least one screw and held a certain distance apart from each other by a spacer which is provided with a slot for the passage of the screw. A first component has a hole which is larger than the shaft of the screw, this hole being covered by a washer borne against by the head of the screw. Slots provided in the washer and in the spacer permit not only a two-dimensional change of position of the first component with respect to the shaft of the screw but also a two-dimensional change of position of the washer and the spacer with respect to the shaft of the screw. When the components are being aligned, the washer and the spacer can be rotated by means of fingers extending from the spacer and through holes in the washer in such a way that the washer and the spacer continue to be concentric to the central axis of the hole in the first component.
