Claims (45)

1. A fastening device for the fastening of an attachment part on a carrying part, for a motor vehicle, with at least one hooking-in device, comprising:

a carrying element configured to be fastened to the carrying part;

an attachment element configured to be fastened to the attachment part; and

a securing element, wherein

the respective carrying element comprises:

two U-shaped receptacles open on one side in a mounting direction, spaced from each other transversely to the mounting direction and an internal thread arranged between the receptacles and oriented in the mounting direction;

wherein the respective attachment element comprises two bolt sections oriented transversely to the mounting direction and spaced from each other transversely to the mounting direction, the two bolt sections hooked into the receptacles in the mounting direction;

wherein the respective securing element, in the mounted state, engages over the two bolt sections on the open side of the receptacles transversely to the mounting direction, and is fastened to the respective carrying part with an external thread; and

wherein the respective external thread is passed through the two bolt sections in the mounting direction, or passed by the bolt sections in the mounting direction, and in the mounting direction engages in the internal thread of the respective carrying part.

2. The fastening device according to claim 1 , wherein

the respective securing element comprises:

a securing body and a fastening screw;

wherein the securing body, in the mounted state, covers the bolt sections and comprises a through opening oriented in the mounting direction;

wherein the fastening screw includes the external thread of the securing element, and is insertable through the through opening in the internal thread of the respective attachment element; and

wherein a head of the fastening screw, in the mounted state, is supported in the mounting direction on a side of the securing body facing away from the bolt sections.

3. The fastening device according to claim 1 , wherein

the respective receptacle opposite its open side is shaped complementarily to the respective bolt section.

4. The fastening device according to claim 1 , wherein

the respective securing element, in the mounted state and in the mounting direction, comes to bear on the bolt sections with at least one contact contour each, which is shaped complementarily to the respective bolt section.

5. The fastening device according to claim 1 , wherein

the respective securing element, in the mounted state, closes the open sides of the receptacles of the respective carrying element.

6. The fastening device according to claim 1 , wherein

the respective attachment element comprises:

an attachment base configured to be fastened to the attachment part; and

two attachment webs standing away from said attachment base and spaced from each other transversely to the mounting direction;

wherein the two attachment webs comprise the bolt sections.

7. The fastening device according to claim 1 , wherein

at least two hooking-in devices are provided and, which are arranged spaced from each other transversely to a mounting direction.

8. The fastening device according to claim 1 , wherein

the respective carrying element comprises:

a carrying base configured to be fastened to the carrying part; and two carrying webs standing away therefrom and spaced from each other transversely to the mounting direction; wherein the two carrying webs comprise the receptacles.

9. The fastening device according to claim 8 , wherein

the carrying webs, in the mounted state, are arranged between the attachment webs.

10. A fastening device for the fastening of an attachment part on a carrying part, for a motor vehicle, with at least one hooking-in device, comprising:

a carrying element configured to be fastened to the carrying part;

an attachment element configured to be fastened to the attachment part; and

a securing element, wherein

at least one support device is provided, which via the respective attachment part, in the mounted state and in a mounting direction, is supported on the carrying part spaced from the at least one hooking-in device;

wherein the respective support device is arranged transversely to the mounting direction, in the middle between two hooking-in devices; and wherein the respective support device comprises a carrier extending in mounting direction, which is fastened to the carrying part, and is connected with the attachment part via a coupling device.

11. The fastening device according to claim 10 , wherein

the coupling device comprises:

a pin fastened to the attachment part and extending in the mounting direction; and

a pin receptacle complimentary thereto and embodied on the carrier in which the pin in the mounting direction is inserted.

12. The fastening device according to claim 10 , wherein

the coupling device is configured as a screw-on point.
