Patent number: 10442473Abstract: A fastening arrangement for a motor vehicle, comprising a component, a load-bearing structural element of the motor vehicle, and at least one fastening device. The component is fastened to the load-bearing structural element of the motor vehicle via the at least one fastening device. The fastening device has a clamping element in which in a normal state the clamping element reinforces the fastening of the component via the fastening device, with the action of an external force the clamping element being automatically transferred into an accident state in which the clamping element loosens the fastening of the component via the fastening device.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2017Date of Patent: October 15, 2019Assignee: MAGNA STEYR Fahrzeugtechnik AG & Co KGInventors: Manuel Erlacher, Franz Planka, Harald Zachnegger
