said third adjustment element has at least one guide rail that is fixed to the third adjustment element, and has at least one guide element corresponding to the at least one guide rail, said at least one guide element being movable in relation to said guide rail. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) A system as claimed in claim 2 wherein said receiving component is situated on said at least one guide element corresponding to said at least one guide rail. ### Claim 4 (depends on 2) A system as claimed in claim 2 wherein at least one of said guide rail and said guide element has a longitudinal extent at right angles to the direction of longitudinal extent of the slot of the base plate. ### Claim 5 (depends on 2) A system as claimed in claim 2 wherein at least one of said guide rail and said guide element has a longitudinal extent at right angles to the direction of longitudinal extent of the second fastening element. ### Claim 6 (depends on 2) A system as claimed in claim 2 wherein said third adjustment element has a third fastening element, and wherein a change of position or distance between said at least one guide rail and said at least one guide element is set by said third fastening element. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) A system as claimed in claim 6 wherein said third adjustment element is situated on said second adjustment element and wherein a position of the third adjustment element in the direction of longitudinal extent of said second fastening element is set dependent on positioning of said second adjustment element in the direction of the longitudinal extent of said second fastening element. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) A system as claimed in claim 7 wherein said second adjustment element comprises at least one anti-rotation element, and said third adjustment element comprises at least one anti-rotation element corresponding to the at least one anti-rotation element of the second adjustment element. ### Claim 9 (depends on 6) A system as claimed in claim 6 wherein said receiving component has a receiving pin with a longitudinal extent, said longitudinal extent of said receiving pin being aligned parallel to the direction of longitudinal extent of said third fastening element. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) A system as claimed in claim 1 wherein said third adjustment element is situated on said first adjustment element, and a position of the third adjustment element in the direction of the longitudinal extent of the slot of the base plate is set dependent on positioning of said first adjustment element in the direction of the longitudinal extent of the slot of the base plate. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) A system as claimed in claim 10 wherein said third adjustment element is situated between the first adjustment element and the second adjustment element. ### Claim 12 (depends on 10) A system as claimed in claim 10 wherein said third adjustment element is situated between said first adjustment element and said base plate. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) A system as claimed in claim 1 wherein said second adjustment element is situated on said first adjustment element, and a position of the second adjustment element
