Abstract
A mounting device for mounting a protective element, in particular on a vehicle, with a mounting element extending along a mounting axis, wherein the protective element can be mounted in a mounting plane via a screw connection with a defined tightening torque. The mounting element has a mounting surface which is arranged offset outwards in the axial direction relative to the mounting plane and on which an external load can be mounted via a second screw connection with a second tightening torque in such a way that the first and second tightening torques are independent of one another.
Claims19
A mounting device for mounting a protective element on a vehicle, with a mounting element extending along a mounting axis,
- wherein the protective element is configured to be mounted via a first screw connection with a defined first tightening torque in a mounting plane, wherein the mounting axis extends perpendicular to the mounting plane,
- wherein the mounting element has a mounting surface which is arranged offset outwards in an axial direction relative to the mounting plane and wherein the mounting element is configured such that an external load is mountable via a second screw connection with a second tightening torque in such a way that the first and second tightening torques are independent of one another.
A mounting device for mounting a protective element on a vehicle, with a mounting element extending along a mounting axis,
- wherein the protective element is configured to be mounted via a first screw connection with a defined first tightening torque in a mounting plane,
- wherein the mounting element has a mounting surface which is arranged offset outwards in an axial direction relative to the mounting plane and on which an external load can be mounted via a second screw connection with a second tightening torque in such a way that the first and second tightening torques are independent of one another, wherein the mounting element has a first thread to form the first screw connection and a second thread to form the second screw connection, the first thread having a larger diameter than the second thread, the mounting device further including a nut which is configured to be screwed onto the first thread for mounting the protective element, wherein the nut is a union nut and configured to be screwed onto the first thread from the side facing the vehicle, wherein the mounting surface for mounting the external load is positioned on a radially projecting collar.
A method for mounting a protective element on a vehicle, with a mounting device, wherein the mounting device has a mounting element extending along a mounting axis, wherein the protective element is mounted via a screw connection with a first tightening torque in a mounting plane, wherein the mounting element has a mounting surface which is arranged offset outwards in an axial direction relative to the mounting plane and on which an external load is mounted via a second screw connection with a second tightening torque in such a way that the first and second tightening torques are independent of one another, wherein the mounting axis extends perpendicular to the mounting plane.
