Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a tolerance compensation device for bridging a distance between two components to be connected to one another, comprising a base element and a compensating element which can be screwed into the base element, the base element forming at least one stop and the compensating element having at least one elastically deformable transport securing means which is designed in such a way that it must overcome the stop with temporary deformation in order to screw the compensating element into the base element.
Claims13
A tolerance compensation device for bridging a distance between two components to be connected to one another, the tolerance compensation device comprising:
- a base element including at least one stop;
- and
- a compensating element configured to be screwed into the base element, the compensating element including:
- a radially projecting collar;
- a plastic ring attached to the collar in a rotationally fixed manner, the plastic ring including at least one elastically deformable transport securing means, the transport securing means comprising a spring tongue that projects axially at least in part from the collar of the compensating element in the direction of the base element,
- wherein the spring tongue is configured to temporarily deform to overcome the at least one stop, allowing the compensating element to be screwed into the base element.
A tolerance compensation device for bridging a distance between two components to be connected to one another, the tolerance compensation device comprising:
- a base element including at least one stop;
- and
- a compensating element configured to be screwed into the base element, wherein:
- the compensating element includes at least one elastically deformable transport securing means,
- the transport securing means comprises a spring tongue extending in the circumferential direction,
- the spring tongue forms a radially outwardly directed projection that extends beyond an external thread of the compensating element, and
- the spring tongue is configured to temporarily deform to overcome the at least one stop, allowing the compensating element to be screwed into the base element.
A compensating element for a tolerance compensation device having a base element, the compensating element comprising:
- at least one elastically deformable transport securing means, wherein:
- the transport securing means comprises a spring tongue extending in the circumferential direction,
- the spring tongue forms a radially outwardly directed projection that extends beyond an external thread of the compensating element, and
- the spring tongue is configured to temporarily deform to overcome a stop of the base element, allowing the compensating element to be screwed into the base element.
