Abstract
A component includes at least one opening in which an insert is arranged, wherein the insert has a connecting portion as well as a first functional portion at a first end and a second functional portion at a second end. The functional portions rest against the component on both sides, wherein the connecting portion projects through the opening. The opening has a basic shape which is adapted to a cross-sectional shape of the connecting portion. Extensions formed in pairs extend radially outward from the basic shape in such a way that the diameter of the basic shape is enlarged in certain areas, which makes it easier to insert at least the first functional portion through the opening in order to arrange the insert.

A component, comprising:
- at least one opening in the component, the component having two sides;
- an insert which is positionable in the opening,
- wherein the insert has a web and, at a first end, a first functional portion and, at a second end, a second functional portion,
- wherein the first and second functional portions are, respectively, configured to bear against a respective side of the component,
- wherein the web protrudes through the opening,
- wherein the opening has a basic shape, which is adapted to a cross-sectional shape of the web, and
