  • Assembly support of a front end of a motor vehicle and method for detachably fixing a cooling module to an assembly support of a front end
    Patent number: 7246674
    Abstract: A assembly support (33) of a front end of a motor vehicle is proposed, having at least one cooling module (1) which is detachably fixed to the assembly support (33) by means of at least two connecting points (9, 15; 11, 13). The assembly support (33) is characterized in that one of the connecting points (9; 11) is embodied as a pivot bearing (17; 19), and in that the other of the connecting points (13; 15) is embodied as a clip connection (21; 23). In addition, a method for detachably fixing a cooling module (1) to a assembly support (33) of a front end of a motor vehicle is proposed.
