Abstract

A holder to fasten at least one component to a glass pane, in particular to a windscreen of a motor vehicle, is disclosed. The holder has a supporting body, which has a lower side, with which the supporting body is able to be adhered to the glass pane by adhesion, and an upper side, on which the holding elements are arranged to fasten the at least one component to the supporting body. A simplified installation results if a first section of the supporting body, which is provided to fasten at least one component, is separated from the remaining supporting body along two separate slots, where both slots begin at an outer edge of the supporting body and end at a connection region at a distance from the outer edge, via which the first section is connected to the remaining supporting body.

Claims (21)

1. A holder to fasten a component to a glass pane, comprising:

a supporting body with a lower side, wherein the supporting body is adhereable to the glass pane by the lower side, and an upper side, wherein a holding element is included on the upper side and wherein the component is fastenable to the supporting body with the holding element;

wherein a first section of the supporting body which includes the holding element is separated from a remaining portion of the supporting body along a first slot and a second slot, wherein both the first slot and the second slot each begin at an outer edge of the supporting body, each extend in a respective first section parallel to a transverse direction of the supporting body and in a respective second section parallel to a longitudinal direction of the supporting body, each end at a connection region at a distance from the outer edge, and each completely penetrate the supporting body perpendicularly to a plane of the supporting body, and wherein the first section of the supporting body is connected to the remaining portion of the supporting body by the connection region.

2. The holder according to claim 1 , wherein the glass pane is a windscreen of a motor vehicle.

3. The holder according to claim 1 , wherein the connection region is moveably connected to the first section of the supporting body via a first film hinge and is moveably connected to the remaining portion of the supporting body via a second film hinge.

4. The holder according to claim 1 , further comprising a first clip on the first section of the supporting body which protrudes over a one of the first and second slots and ends free-standing and a second clip on the remaining portion of the supporting body which protrudes over the one of the first and second slots and ends free-standing, wherein the first and second clips are arranged at a distance one above the other and next to each other.

5. The holder according to claim 1 , wherein a second section of the supporting body is moveably connected to a central region of the supporting body which contains the connection region via a first expansion joint, and/or a third section of the supporting body is moveably connected to the central region via a second expansion joint.

6. The holder according to claim 5 , wherein the first and second expansion joints are formed by a respective slot and a clip which bridges the slot in an arched manner.

7. A holder to fasten a component to a glass pane, comprising:

a supporting body with a lower side, wherein the supporting body is adhereable to the glass pane by the lower side, and an upper side, wherein a holding element is included on the upper side and wherein the component is fastenable to the supporting body with the holding element;

wherein a first section of the supporting body which includes the holding element is separated from a remaining portion of the supporting body along a first slot and a second slot, wherein both the first slot and the second slot each begin at an outer edge of the supporting body and each end at a connection region at a distance from the outer edge, and wherein the first section of the supporting body is connected to the remaining portion of the supporting body by the connection region;

wherein the connection region is moveably connected to the first section of the supporting body via a first film hinge and is moveably connected to the remaining portion of the supporting body via a second film hinge.

8. A holder to fasten a component to a glass pane, comprising:

a supporting body with a lower side, wherein the supporting body is adhereable to the glass pane by the lower side, and an upper side, wherein a holding element is included on the upper side and wherein the component is fastenable to the supporting body with the holding element;

wherein a first section of the supporting body which includes the holding element is separated from a remaining portion of the supporting body along a first slot and a second slot, wherein both the first slot and the second slot each begin at an outer edge of the supporting body and each end at a connection region at a distance from the outer edge, and wherein the first section of the supporting body is connected to the remaining portion of the supporting body by the connection region; and

a first clip on the first section of the supporting body which protrudes over a one of the first and second slots and ends free-standing and a second clip on the remaining portion of the supporting body which protrudes over the one of the first and second slots and ends free-standing, wherein the first and second clips are arranged at a distance one above the other and next to each other.

9. A holder to fasten a component to a glass pane, comprising:

a supporting body with a lower side, wherein the supporting body is adhereable to the glass pane by the lower side, and an upper side, wherein a holding element is included on the upper side and wherein the component is fastenable to the supporting body with the holding element;

wherein a first section of the supporting body which includes the holding element is separated from a remaining portion of the supporting body along a first slot and a second slot, wherein both the first slot and the second slot each begin at an outer edge of the supporting body and each end at a connection region at a distance from the outer edge, and wherein the first section of the supporting body is connected to the remaining portion of the supporting body by the connection region;

wherein a second section of the supporting body is moveably connected to a central region of the supporting body which contains the connection region via a first expansion joint, and/or a third section of the supporting body is moveably connected to the central region via a second expansion joint;

and wherein the first and second expansion joints are formed by a respective slot and a clip which bridges the slot in an arched manner.
