Abstract
A fastening arrangement comprises a first component that is repeatably releasably fastenable to a second component, and an additional part. The additional part is pivotable about a pivot joint between an open functional position, in which a joining portion of the first component is joinable to a receiving portion of the second component, and a closed functional position, in which the joining portion of the first component is received in the receiving portion of the second component. During a transition between the functional positions, the additional part passes through an unstable dead-center position.

A fastening arrangement, comprising:
- a first component that is repeatably releasably fastenable to a second component;
- and
- an additional part that is pivotable about a pivot joint between an open functional position, in which a joining portion of the first component is joinable to a receiving portion of the second component, and a closed functional position, in which the joining portion of the first component is received in the receiving portion of the second component, wherein, during a transition between the functional positions, the additional part passes through an unstable dead-center position.
A fastening arrangement, comprising:

- wherein the pivot joint is formed by a convex joint portion of the additional part and a concave, peripherally open joint portion of the second component, the joint portions bearing against each other,
- wherein the additional part has two legs disposed at an angle to each other, the pivot joint being disposed in or at a region that connects the two legs, and
- wherein, in the closed functional position of the additional part, a free end of one leg of the additional part is received in an undercut region of the first component and/or of the joining portion.
