Abstract
A device for compensating tolerances between two components to be braced by means of a screw element. The device includes a base element and a compensating element that can be moved out of the base element. The base element and the compensating element form a passage, defining an axial direction, for the screw element. The device also includes a fastening nut for the screw element. The device further includes a connecting element that connects the fastening nut to the base element and serves to premount the device on a first of the components to be connected.
Claims21
A device for compensating tolerances between two components to be braced by means of a screw element, comprising:
- a base element;
- a compensating element that can be moved out of the base element, wherein the base element and the compensating element form a passage, defining an axial direction, for the screw element;
- a fastening nut for the screw element, wherein the base element and the compensating element are in threaded engagement, wherein the axial direction is defined by thread axes of threads of the base element and the compensating element;
- and
- a connecting element that connects the fastening nut to the base element and serves for premounting of the device on a first of the components to be connected, wherein the connecting element can be inserted into the first component in the axial direction and in the braced state of the components forms a support means for supporting the fastening nut on the first component, and wherein the connecting element is clipped to the base element or to a holding element holding the base element, wherein the connecting element and the fastening nut are formed as a sing-piece with one another.
