Fastening arrangement, component structure with the fastening arrangement as well as associated fastening method

Abstract

A fastening arrangement for fastening a first component with a component opening to a second component with manual compensation of a distance therebetween. The fastening arrangement comprises a hollow-cylindrical fastening element with a shaft portion and a head portion the head portion projecting radially to the outside beyond the shaft portion with a circumferential flange or a plurality of first projections and a plurality of second projections with the circumferential flange or the plurality of first projections and the plurality of second projections being arranged with a distance to one another in axial direction, so that a rim of the component opening is arrangeable in the first component between the circumferential flange or the plurality of first projections and the plurality of second projections and the shaft portion comprises a plurality of fastening sections and a plurality of insertion sections on its radial outside which are alternately arranged in circumferential direction and extend in axial direction between head portion and an axial end of the shaft portion with the fastening sections projecting in radial direction beyond the insertion sections a receiving opening of the second component which in circumferential direction alternately comprises portions which project radially into and portions which are set-back from the receiving opening so that the fastening element is pluggable through the component opening in the first component into the receiving opening and is rotatable relative to the receiving opening, with a fixation of the first component between the circumferential flange and the plurality of second projections being caused by inserting the fastening element or between the plurality of first and second projections by rotating the fastening element as well as a fixation of the first component to the second component by rotating the fastening element.
