Connecting assembly for fastening an add-on element on a carrier element

Abstract

A connecting assembly (1) for fastening an add-on element (2) on a carrier element (3) includes a foot (4) which can be inserted into an opening (39) of the carrier element (3) and has fixing means (40) for fixing the foot (4) with respect to the carrier element (3) in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis (41) of the foot (4). The connecting assembly (1) further includes a pin (5) which can be inserted into a passage (20) of the add-on element (2) and has retaining means (50) which counteract a displacement of the add-on element (2) in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis (51) of the pin (5). The pin (5) is adapted to be inserted into the foot (4) and has locking means (52) which cooperate with complementary locking means (42) of the foot (4) in a radial direction with -respect to the longitudinal axes (41, 51). The foot (4) has two elastic axial restoring means (43) with respect to its longitudinal axis (41) which hold a support surface (54) of the pin (5) and a counter support surface (44) of the foot (4) in contact with each other when the locking means (52) of the pin (5) cooperate with the complementary locking means (42) of the foot (4) after the insertion of the pin (5) into the foot (4).
