Title:
APPARATUS FOR FASTENING A COMPONENT TO A VEHICLE BODY PART
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2021/071818
Kind Code:
A8
Abstract:
An apparatus for fastening a component to a carrier component includes a base body having first latching means for fastening the apparatus to a carrier component. The base body is able to be transferred in a mounting direction which extends orthogonally with respect to an upper surface of the carrier component, from a starting position into a final mounting position, in which the first latching means are connected to the carrier component. A spring element is connected to the base body and is set up to be deformed elastically upon transfer of the base body from the starting position into the final mounting position by contact with a surface of the carrier component or of another component which bears against the carrier component, which surface faces the mounting direction, such that a mechanical verification device of the spring element brings about visual and/or haptic feedback indicating correct mounting.
