Positioning arrangement for positioning a sheet metal element on a flange joint

13:

• The positioning arrangement according to claim 12, wherein the radial clearance of the at least three first tabs relative to the first receiving hole is greater than a radial clearance of the at least three first tabs relative to the first fastening screw.

14:

• The positioning arrangement according to claim 12, wherein transversely to the first connecting plane, the radial clearance of the second tabs relative to the second receiving hole is greater than a radial clearance of the second tabs relative to the second fastening screw.

15:

• The positioning arrangement according to claim 12, wherein the mating flange comprises a first positioning hole, the mating flange being positioned on one of the fastening screws, which is passed through the first positioning hole and through a through-hole of the sheet metal element and is screwed into a third threaded bore in the flange, via the first positioning hole and the mating flange being positioned with respect to the flange via the first positioning hole.

16:

• The positioning arrangement according to claim 15, wherein the mating flange is positioned via the first positioning hole on a third of the fastening screws, which is passed through a third through-hole of the sheet metal element and is screwed into a threaded bore in the flange, or
• the mating flange is positioned via the first positioning hole on the first fastening screw.

17:

• The positioning arrangement according to claim 15, wherein the radial clearance of the at least three first tabs in the first receiving hole is larger than a radial clearance of the fastening screw in the first positioning hole.

18:

• The positioning arrangement according to claim 15, wherein the mating flange has a second positioning hole, the mating flange being positioned via the second positioning hole on one of the fastening screws, which is passed through the second positioning hole and through a through-hole of the sheet metal element and is screwed into a threaded bore in the flange, and the mating flange being positioned via the second positioning hole relative to the flange, and the second positioning hole is formed as an elongated hole with a longest diameter and a shortest diameter in the abutment plane, the longest diameter being orientated towards the first positioning hole.

19:

• The positioning arrangement according to claim 18, wherein that the mating flange is positioned with the second positioning hole on a fourth of the fastening screws, which is passed through a fourth through-hole of the sheet metal element and is screwed into a threaded bore in the flange, or the mating flange is positioned with the second positioning hole on the second fastening screw.

20:

• The positioning arrangement according to claim 13, wherein a radial clearance of the fastening screw in the second positioning hole transversely to a second connecting plane, which includes a longitudinal axis of the fastening screw in the first positioning hole and a longitudinal axis of the fastening screw in the second positioning hole, is smaller than a radial clearance of the second tabs within the second receiving hole transversely to the first connecting plane.

21:

• The positioning arrangement according to claim 12, wherein the first and second tabs are longer transversely to the abutment plane than a thread pitch of the respective fastening screw.
