Abstract: A holder for a rod, which has a pivoting section (19) and an angled bearing section (20), is equipped with a bearing arrangement (1) which has a bearing channel (3) which can be fitted with the bearing section (20), wherein the pivoting section (19) protrudes on a pivoting side (21) over the bearing arrangement (1) and can be pivoted. Furthermore, there is a closure part (8) which is mounted on the insertion side (7) at a distance upstream of the bearing channel (3), with a receiving space (9) being formed. The closure part (8) has a passage recess (17), which is open on an edge side (14), for the passage of the pivoting section (19) and the bearing section (20) of the rod, wherein the pivoting section (19) can be positioned in the receiving space (9).

Abstract: A device for compensating for tolerances when fastening an add-on to a base member comprises a holding element (1) connectable to the base member, and an elongate compensating bushing (8) that is associated with the add-on, is displaceable relative thereto, and comprises a channel (11) for accommodating a connecting element connectable to the add-on. The holding element (1) and the compensating bushing (8) are freely displaceably associated with each other via wall sections (6, 7) that are smooth over a displacement path. The channel (11) of the compensating bushing (8) has a larger dimension in a direction transverse to the longitudinal direction than the diameter of a connecting element. The holding element (1) is configured as bendable in at least one intermediate section located between a fastening region (2) to the base member and an accommodating region for the compensating bushing (8). This results in excellent tolerance compensation characteristics combined with ease of installation.

Abstract: A fixing element of plastic includes a foot part for insertion into an oblong hole of a carrier plate. The foot part includes a head and a shaft. The fixing element can be locked in the oblong hole after the insertion of the head by a quarter turn. The shaft includes a middle strut connected to the head. A shank is formed on each of the two edges of the middle strut at right angles and in opposite directions. A countershank is formed on each of the edges of the middle strut in opposite directions. The shank is elastically bent towards the middle strut during the screwing in of the shaft through the edge of the hole and after a quarter turn returns to its original position. Pressing ramps are formed on two outer ends of the head to prevent a rotation in the opposite direction.

Abstract: A fixing element of plastic is provided which includes a foot part for insertion into an oblong hole of a carrier plate. The foot part includes of a head corresponding to the edge of the oblong hole and of a shaft adapted to the width of the oblong hole. The fixing element can be locked in the oblong hole after the insertion of the head by a quarter turn under elastic deformation of the shaft. The shaft includes a middle strut connecting the head to the fixing element. The strut has the width of the oblong hole. A shank is formed on each of the two edges of the middle strut at a right angle and in opposite directions. The shank is elastically bent towards the middle strut during the screwing in of the shaft through the edge of the oblong hole and after a quarter turn returns to its original position due to the elastic return force of the plastic and prevents a rotation in the opposite direction.

Abstract: The inventive plastic fixing element comprises a base part (3) for inserting into a longitudinal cavity (4) of a carrier plate (20). The base part (3) consists of a head (5), whose shape corresponds to the edge (6) of the longitudinal cavity (4) and a shaft (7), which is adapted to the width of said cavity (4). Once the head (5) has been inserted, the base part can be locked in the longitudinal cavity (4) by means of a quarter-rotation and the elastic deformation of the shaft (7). To prevent the base part (3) from working loose in the longitudinal cavity, the shaft (7) has a central strut (10) of the same width as the longitudinal cavity (4), which connects the head (5) to the base part (1) of the fixing element.

Abstract: A holding clip for mounting on a longitudinally ribbed bolt having an indicator for providing an audible signal when the bolt is fully inserted. The holding clip has a flexible rod having a free end which extends transversely across a receptacle chamber. The receptacle has a transverse wall situated slightly above the rod. When the bolt is inserted, the free end of the rod is pressed upwardly to audibly impact the transverse wall. The rod may be provided with a tab which protrudes through the transverse wall so that the tab end may be tactilely sensed or visually seen.

Abstract: A device is provided for securing a flat object to a carrier plate. The device includes a base plate with a pair of spaced apart end sections, and a middle section extending between the end sections. A pair of upwardly protruding extensions each has a lower end attached to the middle section of the base, and an upper end spaced therefrom. The extensions are spaced apart by a distance and are elastic such that the upper ends may be pushed apart. A bridge extends between the upper ends of the extension. The bridge has a pair of spaced apart ends interconnected with the upper ends of the extension and a midportion therebetween. The bridge has a total length greater than the length the distance between the extensions. The bridge has a disengaged position wherein the midportion is spaced from the middle section of the base plate and the upper ends of the extension are not pushed apart.

Abstract: 4. Holding clip according to claim 2 [or 3], characterized by the fact that the rod (12) is provided with a support tab (20) that is laterally spaced apart from the upper tab (17) on its underside that faces the bolt (1), wherein the support tab contacts the end face (16) of the bolt (1) during the insertion of the bolt.

Abstract: The retaining element represented in the figures preferably includes of a receiver cage manufactured of hard elastic plastic, having an inner wall which may bear against a bolt, and a retaining arm formed on the side of the receiver cage opposite the inner wall to be elastically springy. The retaining arm is directed toward the opposite inner wall at an obtuse angle, counter to the press-down direction (A) of the receiver cage on the bolt, with the clearance of the retaining edge from the inner wall being less than the outer diameter of a bolt.
