Coupling consisting of coupling bolt and holder as well as method for connecting a first and a second component by means of the coupling

Method for connecting a first and a second component by a form-fit working coupling, comprising the following features:

• a coupling bolt comprising a fastening end, a holding head and a supporting section arranged therebetween, in which the holding head and the supporting section are connected to each other by a web which is tapered with respect to the holding head and the supporting section, wherein the holding head and the supporting section protrude in radial or lateral direction beyond a cross-section of the web, and the fastening end is fastenable at the first component and a holder having a keyhole and an abutting portion, in which an edge of the keyhole encloses a non-planar surface, the coupling bolt is lockable in a form-fit manner in the keyhole by an inserting-pivoting-movement and the holder is fastenable at the second component by a fastening structure,
• wherein the method comprises the following steps:
• a. inserting the holding head into an inserting section of the keyhole so that the supporting section abuts the holder, and
• b. pivoting the coupling bolt relative to the holder so that the tapered web between the holding head and the supporting section is arranged at least in a form-fit manner in a locking groove of the keyhole so that the holding head and the supporting section each form an undercut in longitudinal direction of the coupling bolt and the holder may be supported at the holding head and the supporting section of the coupling bolt in opposite directions wherein the supporting section is formed ball-shaped and is received in a ball socket-like abutting portion so that forces between the coupling bolt and the holder are transferred partly areally.

A first and a second component which are connected to each other, comprising the following features:

• a. a coupling bolt comprising a fastening end, a holding head and a supporting section arranged therebetween, in which the holding head and the supporting section are connected to each other by a web which is tapered with respect to the holding head and the supporting section, and the fastening end is fastenable at the first component,
• b. a holder having a keyhole and an abutting portion in which an edge of the keyhole encloses a non-planar surface, wherein the abutting portion consists of at least a second and a first areal segment, which each face the supporting section and which are arranged at least partly symmetrically around the lockingly arrangeable coupling bolt, and wherein the abutting portion is formed at least two-staged with respect to a longitudinal axis of a coupling bolt, which can be arranged in the keyhole in a locked manner, so that the abutting portion between the holding head and the supporting section of the coupling bolt is mechanically braceable, and wherein the coupling bolt is lockable in a form-fit manner in the keyhole by an inserting-pivoting-movement and the holder is fastenable at the second component by a fastening structure, wherein
• c. the holding head and the supporting section protrude in a radial or lateral direction beyond a cross-section of the web, and each form an undercut in a longitudinal direction of the coupling bolt so that the holder may be supported at the holding head and the supporting section of the locked coupling bolt in opposite directions, wherein
• d1. the areal segments of the abutting portion are formed ball-shaped and a radius of the first ball-shaped areal segment is smaller than a radius of the second ball-shaped areal segment and in which the first ball-shaped areal segment is arranged adjacent to the keyhole, or
• d2. the first areal segment is formed conically or ball-shaped and the second areal segment is formed conically or ball-shaped, wherein in the case of two conical areal segments, a cone angle of the first areal segment is smaller than a cone angle of the second areal segment, or
• d3. the first areal segment is formed ball-shaped having a diameter which is smaller than a diameter of the supporting section, and in which the second areal segment is formed truncated cone-like so that the supporting section is tangentially engageable by the second areal segment.
