Abstract
A device for compensating for tolerances between two components to be connected by means of a connecting screw, comprising a base element, a compensating element which can be moved out of the base element, the base element and the compensating element forming a passage for the connecting screw, which passage defines an axial direction, and a retaining element for retaining the base element.
Claims18
A device for compensating for tolerances between two components to be connected by means of a connecting screw, the device comprising:
- a base element,
- a compensating element which can be moved out of the base element, the base element and the compensating element forming a passage for the connecting screw, which passage defines an axial direction, and
- a retaining element for retaining the base element, with the retaining element forming a latching portion for latching to a nut element provided for the connecting screw,
- wherein the latching portion is C-shaped and comprises two latching arms which are spaced apart from one another and define a receiving portion for the nut element therebetween, and
- wherein the latching arms are resiliently formed or supported and are configured to spread apart against a restoring force upon radially sliding the latching portion onto the nut element in order to receive the nut element.
