Abstract
A fastening element for positive, materially integral and/or non-positive arrangement on or in a fiber composite component includes a sleeve-like portion, on the first end of which there is formed a tapering conical or cone-shaped portion in which a plurality of slots are made which are aligned in the direction of a longitudinal extent of the fastening element and in this way subdivide the conical or cone-shaped portion into individual segments. On the second end of the sleeve-like portion, there is arranged a holding portion which is angled at a right angle from the sleeve-like portion and in this way enlarges an outer diameter of the sleeve-like portion and forms planar bearing surfaces. A method is also described for mounting a fastening element.

A securing element for positive-locking, materially engaging and/or non-positive-locking arrangement on or in a composite fiber component comprising:
- a sleeve-like portion, at the first end of which an acutely tapering conical or cone-like portion is formed, wherein there are formed in this conical or cone-like portion a plurality of slots which are orientated in the direction of a longitudinal extent of the securing element and which consequently subdivide the conical or cone-like portion into individual segments and wherein there is arranged at the second end of the sleeve-like portion a retention portion which is bent at right-angles away from the sleeve-like portion and which consequently increases an outer diameter of the sleeve-like portion and forms planar abutment faces.
