Abstract
A subassembly for a vehicle, having a housing with a first housing part and a rotational body which is rotatably arranged on the first housing part about a rotational axis when the subassembly is in the installed state, wherein the axial position of the rotational body relative to the first housing part is fixed by the first housing part when the subassembly is in the installed state. In order to improve a subassembly for a vehicle and a vehicle equipped therewith, the invention proposes that the axial position of the rotational body relative to the first housing part is fixed solely by the first housing part when the subassembly is in the installed state.
Claims10
A subassembly for a vehicle, the subassembly comprising:
- a housing with a first housing part;
- and
- a rotational body that is rotatably arranged on the first housing part about an axis of rotation when the subassembly is in an installed state in which the rotational body is locked to the first housing part,
- such that when the rotational body is locked to the first housing part, the rotational body is freely rotatable with respect to the first housing part,
- wherein an axial position of the rotational body relative to the first housing part is fixed solely by the first housing part when the subassembly is in the installed state,
- wherein the first housing part comprises a plurality of locking hooks and the rotational body comprises a locking depression corresponding to the locking hooks,
- wherein the locking hooks each have a contact surface that mutually corresponds to a circumferential contact surface of the locking depression,
- such that the contact surfaces of the locking hooks are biased against the circumferential contact surface of the locking depression in a locking position of the locking hooks parallel to the axis of rotation when the subassembly is in the installed state,
- and
- wherein the first housing part has a spring element,
- wherein the spring element is biased against the rotational body such that the mutually corresponding contact surfaces of the locking hooks and the locking depression are biased against each other when the subassembly is in the installed state.
