The invention relates to a device for the bracing connection of spaced-apart components (1, 2) by means of a connecting screw (5), comprising a supporting part (3), which can be secured on the first component (1) by means of fastening elements (8), and a spacer part (4), which can be displaced axially in relation to the supporting part (3) by virtue of rotation and, as the connecting screw (5), fitted into an opening of the spacer part, is screwed in, is carried along, as a result of friction-fitting engagement of the lateral surface of the screw shank against resilient elements (9) projecting into the opening, until it strikes against the second component (2). It is proposed that both the supporting part (3) and the spacer part (4) are threaded bushings (6, 7) formed in one piece, the fastening elements (8) and the resilient elements (9) forming parts of the respective shaped member.

Device according to one or more of the preceding claims or in particular according thereto, characterized in that the fastening elements (8), which are deep drawn from sheet metal, and the resilient elements (9) form tongues which are cut out of the respective shaped metal sheet.
Device according to one or more of the preceding claims or in particular according thereto, characterized in that threads which can be screwed one inside the other are formed on the walls of the threaded bushings (6, 7).
Device according to one or more of the preceding claims or in particular according thereto, characterized in that the threads (6, 7) are rolled on.
Device according to one or more of the preceding claims or in particular according thereto, characterized in that the supporting part (3) and spacer part (4) each form, on the bushing border, a supporting surface formed by an outwardly projecting annular collar (10, 11).
Device according to one or more of the preceding claims or in particular according thereto, characterized in that the fastening elements (8) are cut out of the annular collar (10) from the outside.
Device according to one or more of the preceding claims or in particular according thereto, characterized in that the resilient elements (9) are cut out of an, in particular, thread-free bushing section (13) adjoining the annular collar (11).
Device according to one or more of the preceding claims or in particular according thereto, characterized in that the thread flanks take out an angle of 60° in relation to one another.
Device according to one or more of the preceding claims or in particular according thereto, characterized in that the bushing section (6) of the supporting part (3) is sheathed in plastics.
Device according to one or more of the preceding claims or in particular according thereto, characterized in that the inside of the threading bushing (7) of the spacer part (4) is lined with plastics.
Device according to one or more of the preceding claims or in particular according thereto, characterized in that the fastening element is formed as a clip (15).
Device according to one or more of the preceding claims or in particular according thereto, characterized by a counter plate (15) which is spaced apart from, and parallel to, the collar (10) of the supporting part (3) and has a through-passage opening (16) for the connecting screw.
Device according to one or more of the preceding claims or in particular according thereto, characterized in that the through-passage opening (16) for the connecting screw forms a neck (17).
Device according to one or more of the preceding claims or in particular according thereto, characterized by a stop lug (19) which projects from the threaded bushing (6) of the spacer part (4) and interacts with a counter stop (20) which is cut out of the collar (11) of the supporting part (3).
Device according to one or more of the preceding claims or in particular according thereto, characterized in that the threaded bushings (6, 7) including the annular collars (10, 11) are produced as injection mouldings.
Device according to one or more of the preceding claims or in particular according thereto, characterized in that the threaded bushing (7), which has the external thread (7′), has a smooth inner wall (24) and the threaded bushing (6), which forms the internal thread (6′), has a smooth outer wall (23).
Device according to one or more of the preceding claims or in particular according thereto, characterized in that the internal thread (6′) is interrupted in certain regions in the circumferential direction.
