The first fastening part has a fastening element which can be brought into a positive connecting effect with the holding plate by a rotational and/or translational mounting movement of the first fastening part. The second fastening part can be fastened to the holding plate and, in the fastened state, prevents the positive connection between the first fastening part and the holding plate from being released. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A combination of a securing eye and a holding plate, wherein the securing eye has a fastening portion and an eye portion, wherein the fastening portion comprises a first fastening part, which incorporates the eye portion, and a second fastening part, wherein the first fastening part has a fastening element which can be brought into a positive connecting effect with the holding plate by means of a rotational and/or translational mounting movement of the first fastening part, and wherein the second fastening part can be placed on the holding plate and prevents the positive connecting effect between the first fastening part and the holding plate from being released, wherein the holding plate has at least two openings which each extend through a first side to an opposing second side of the holding plate for receiving the fastening element, and wherein the eye portion comprises a ring component which is arranged in a rotationally movable manner in a receptacle of the first fastening part and/or between the first fastening part and the holding plate, the receptacle being different from the at least two openings. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The combination as claimed in claim 1, wherein the fastening element comprises at least one fastening hook which, in order to form the positive connecting effect, engages behind at least one of the at least two openings. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The combination as claimed in claim 1, wherein the second fastening part has at least one fastening hook which, with the second fastening part in a fastened state, engages behind at least one of the at least two openings. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The combination as claimed in claim 3, wherein the second fastening part has at least one latching element in order to form a latching connection with the holding plate. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The combination as claimed in claim 4, wherein the fastening element of the first fastening part and/or a portion, incorporating the eye portion, of the first fastening part is arranged between the fastening hook and the latching element of the second fastening part in a fastened state thereof. ### Claim 6 (depends on 3) The combination as claimed in claim 3, wherein the first fastening part supports a load, acting on the eye portion, on the fastening hook of the second fastening part. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The combination as claimed in claim 6, wherein the first fastening part forms at least a second fastening hook which engages behind the fastening hook of the second fastening part. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The combination as claimed in claim 1, wherein the combination further comprises an elastically deformable component that elastically deforms when the ring component component interfaces therewith, which elastically deformable component establishes a positive but rotatable hold on the ring. ### Claim 9 (depends on 3) The combination as claimed in claim 3, wherein the at least two openings are for receiving a fastening hook of the first fastening part and/or the fastening hook of the second fastening part. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The combination as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first fastening part and the second fastening part are connected to one another in a moveable manner. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The combination as claimed in claim 10, wherein the second fastening part has a prong which is guided in an opening of the first fastening part, wherein the prong forms a projection serving as a stop. ### Claim 12 A combination of a securing eye and a holding plate, wherein the securing eye comprises: a fastening assembly, wherein the fastening assembly includes a first fastening part and an eye portion; and a second fastening part that is at least partially over the first fastening part, relative to the holding plate, wherein the first fastening part has a plurality of fastening elements which can be brought into a positive connection with the holding plate via a rotational and/or translational mounting movement of the first fastening part relative to the holding plate, and wherein the second fastening part is configured to be placed on the holding plate and prevents the positive connection between the first fastening part and the holding plate from being released, and the holding plate has at least two openings which each extend through a first side to an opposing second side of the holding plate for receiving respective fastening elements of the plurality of fastening elements, wherein the eye portion comprises a ring component which is arranged in a rotationally movable manner in a receptacle of the first fastening part and/or between the first fastening part and the holding plate, wherein the receptacle is different from the at least two openings. ### Claim 13 A combination of a securing eye and a holding plate, wherein the securing eye has a fastening portion and an eye portion, wherein the fastening portion comprises a first fastening part, which incorporates the eye portion, and a second fastening part, wherein the first fastening part has a fastening element which can be brought into a positive connecting effect with the holding plate by means of a rotational and/or translational mounting movement of the first fastening part, and wherein the second fastening part can be fastened to the holding plate and prevents the positive connecting effect between the first fastening part and the holding plate from being released, wherein a ring component of the eye portion is held in a receptacle of the first fastening part by a component which is temporarily elastically deformed by the ring component. ### Claim 14 (depends on 1) The combination as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first fastening part and/or the eye portion are formed from metal and the second fastening part is formed from plastic. ### Claim 15 (depends on 1) The combination as claimed in claim 1, wherein the at least two openings are for receiving a fastening hook of the first fastening part and/or a fastening hook of the second fastening part. ### Claim 16 (depends on 1) The combination as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first fastening part and the second fastening part are separate components. ### Claim 17 (depends on 13) The combination as claimed in claim 13, wherein the ring component is arranged in a rotationally movable manner in a receptacle of the first fastening part and/or between the first fastening part and the holding plate, the receptacle being different than other openings. ### Claim 18 (depends on 12) The combination of claim 12, wherein the second fastening part has at least one fastening hook which, with the second fastening part in a fastened state, engages behind at least one of the at least two openings. ### Claim 19 (depends on 12) The combination of claim 12, wherein the combination further comprises an elastically deformable component that elastically deforms when the ring component interfaces therewith. ### Claim 20 (depends on 13) The combination of claim 13, wherein the ring component is arranged in a rotationally movable manner in the receptacle of the first fastening part and/or between the first fastening part and the holding plate.
