  • Publication number: 20120155951
    Abstract: A device for connecting two components, in particular a linkage of bars (38) and an engine hood (40), has a fastening element (10) and a securing element (24) cooperating with the fastening element (10). The fastening element (10) includes a fastening section (18) for connecting the fastening element (10) with the first component and a receiving section (12) for mounting the second component. The securing element (24) includes first and second securing sections (26, 28) and is transferable to a final assembly position, in which the first securing section (26) secures the connection of the fastening element (10) with the first component and at the same time the second securing section (28) secures the mounting of the second component in the receiving section (12).

  • Publication number: 20120131771
    Abstract: The invention relates to a connecting assembly (10) for fastening a mount-on part (12) to a carrier part (14), having a clip (16) which includes a deformable locking section (18) for fastening the clip (16) to the carrier part (14), and a separate locking pin (20) which is adapted to be received by the clip (16) by a movement in a mounting direction (22) along a mounting axis (A), the clip (16) and the locking pin (20) including cooperating latching members (26, 24) which form snap connections in a preassembly position and a locking position to fix the locking pin (20) axially on the clip (16). In the preassembly position the locking pin (20) and the clip (16) form a preassembled connecting assembly which is insertable into mounting openings (28, 30) of the mount-on part (12) and of the carrier part (14) by a movement along the mounting axis (A) and is movable to a fastening position.

  • Publication number: 20110113598
    Abstract: A connection assembly for fastening an attaching element on a support (10) comprises a holding clip (16), which can be inserted into a mounting opening (20) of the support (10) and has holders (54) for axially fixing the holding clip (16) to the support (10), and a pin (12), which can be reversibly attached to a coupling piece (14) fastened to the attachment element and inserted into the holding clip (16). The pull-off force of the pin (12) in an intermediate position of the connecting assembly, in which the pin (12) has a first orientation relative to the holding clip (16), is larger than in a mounting position of the connection assembly, in which the pin (12) also has the first orientation and is inserted fully into the holding clip (16).

  • Publication number: 20090263210
    Abstract: A connecting assembly (10) for fastening an add-on element (56) on a carrier element (58) includes a first connecting part (12) which can be inserted into an opening (64) of the carrier element (58). The first connecting part (12) has retaining means for fixing the first connecting part (12) to the carrier element (58). The connecting assembly (10) further includes a second connecting part (14) which can be inserted into a bore (60) of the add-on element (56). The second connecting part (14) is adapted to be inserted into the first connecting part (12). The connecting assembly (10) is adapted to be converted from a pre-mounted state, in which the retaining means permit a removal of the first connecting part (12) from the carrier element (58), into a mounted state, in which the retaining means do not permit a removal of the first connecting part (12) from the carrier element (58).
