The retaining spring is used for detachably connecting two components. The retaining spring includes a retaining plate attached to one component and an engagement spring which is moveably guided on the retaining plate between an engagement position and a released position in the direction of attachment. The engagement spring is provided with a catch edge for securing over an engagement projection which is provided on the other component. A slanted insert limb used to raise the engagement spring when the slidable component is moved in the direction of attachment. In order to connect and detach the two components with greater ease, even when space is lacking in the area immediately surrounding the connection points, the engagement spring is maintained in a position of engagement on the retaining plate by an engagement means acting against the resistance of the spring in the direction of attachment.
A retaining spring for detachable connection of two components, comprising a retaining plate secured to a fixed component, and an engagement spring protruding from the retaining plate, where said engagement spring has a spring-loaded catch edge that engages with an engagement protrusion that is provided on a moveable component, and an insertion leg angled in front of the catch edge, and the engagement spring is designed as a separate part and is designed to slide along the retaining plate between an engagement position and a release position, where the engagement position is maintained by catch elements which can be overcome by the spring force in a closing direction, and the catch elements are formed from a spring-loaded latch incorporated in the retaining plate, and a recess provided in a sliding plate of the engagement spring to hold the latch.
A retaining spring for connection of a fixed component and a slidable component comprising:
