  • Patent number: 9605794
    Abstract: Support arm connection for a component includes a support arm holder disposed on the component and a support arm having an end and being insertable into the support arm holder. A housing ring is disposed on the support arm. A support arm ring is disposed on the support arm. The housing ring is axially located further away from the end of the support arm than the support arm ring. A radially inwardly protruding shoulder of the support arm holder includes a stop surface. When the support arm is inserted into and mounted to the support arm holder, the stop surface limits axial movement of the support arm ring, the housing ring is fixedly secured to the support arm holder and the support arm ring is fixedly secured to the support arm.
