Abstract: A method of fixing a first component to a second component. The method includes the step of arranging the first component adjacent the second component. Aligning a tab of the first component for selective engagement with a tongue of the second component. Sliding the first component longitudinally against the second component. Flexing the tongue of the second component by sliding the tab of the first component longitudinally along a conical projection of the second component. Overlapping the tongue and the tab until the conical projection is axially aligned with and matingly received and retained in a conical hole in a direction generally orthogonal to the longitudinal sliding movement thereby selectively fixing the first component to the second component.

Abstract: A fixing system for fixing a first component to a second component, wherein the first component is formed with at least one tab which can engages with at least one tongue formed on the second component, wherein the minimum of one tab is formed with at least one conical hole with which a projection, particularly a conical projection, provided on the tongue can be brought into engagement by latching therein.

Abstract: A radiator grille (10) for mounting in a motor vehicle radiator grille arrangement and a method of producing same, includes radiator grille having a substantially rigid frame (11) and at least one bar element (12) arranged within the frame (11). The bar element includes at least one end (12a) which, in the unassembled state of the radiator grille (10), is spaced from a portion (18) of the frame (11) and in the mounted state of the radiator grille (10) is forced into contact with the portion (18). The end (12a) of the bar element (12) and the portion (18) of the frame (11) being movable relative to one another as a result of the external application of force.

Abstract: A radiator grille arrangement for a motor vehicle includes first and second fastening mechanism for securing a radiator grille in place. The first and second fastening mechanism are spaced apart from one another substantially corresponding to a vertical extent of the radiator grille. The first fastening mechanism is provided on a lower edge of the radiator grille and is non-releasable. The second fastening mechanism is formed by a guide link device consisting of a groove and a pin guided therein. The groove at least partially extends in a longitudinal axis of the motor vehicle and the pin is movable within the groove as a result of an external action of force.

Abstract: A radiator grille (10) for assembly in a motor vehicle radiator grille arrangement which is assembled by means of first fastening means and second fastening means in the radiator grille arrangement, which first and second fastening means are spaced from one another substantially corresponding to a vertical extent of the radiator grille, wherein at least one of the fastening means of the first and second fastening means is formed from a link guide device consisting of a groove (25) and a pin (16) guided therein, wherein the groove at least partially extends in the longitudinal axis (?x) of the vehicle and the pin (16) is movable within the groove as a result of an external action of force.
