Flange connection between a longitudinal beam of a vehicle and a carrier element that can be mounted to it

A flange connection between the face end of the longitudinal beam of a vehicle as a first component (1) and a carrier element, such as a crash box, which can be mounted to it in its longitudinal direction, as a second component (2), whereby a flange plate (3) is positively arranged at the one of these two components (1, 2) and a counter flange plate (4) at the other component, and these plates (3, 4) can be held tight to one another with their outer sides (5, 6) contacting each other, characterized in that,

• at the outer side (5) of the flange plate (3) protrudes at least one connection bolt (7) that exhibits a wedge slope (9), which stretches in the cross direction of said connection bolt from its upper edge (10) at the upper side of the locking bolt (7) in the direction toward the flange plate (3), in that the counter flange plate (4) exhibits at the flange plate (3) a feed-through opening (12) for the connection bolt (7), and in that a locking component (15) can be placed on the inner side (13) of the counter flange plate (4), where in the connected position said locking component (15) surrounds the connection bolt (7) and establishes a wedge surface (18) that interacts with its wedge slope (9), and that exhibits at the side opposite this wedge surface (18) a clamping screw (21) that can be tightened against the connection bolt (7).
