Fastening element and assembly with such a fastening element and a receiving element
View Patent ↗A fastening element comprises a guide body which serves to be received in a receptacle, and at least one clamping tab which is arranged on the guide body and has art outer edge which is provided for cooperation with the inner surface of the receptacle. The outer edge of the clamping tab extends obliquely to a plane that is perpendicular to the central axis of the guide body, and the outer edge is in the form of a part of a thread such that thread effect is achieved with which the fastening element can be unscrewed from the receptacle.
1. A fastening element comprising a guide body which serves to be received in a receptacle, and comprising at least one clamping tab which is arranged on the guide body and has an outer edge which is provided for cooperation with an inner surface of the receptacle, wherein the outer edge of the clamping tab extends obliquely to a plane which is perpendicular to a central axis of the guide body and wherein the outer edge is in the form of a part of a thread such that a thread effect is achieved by means of which the fastening element can be unscrewed from the receptacle, wherein the at least one clamping tab is part of a spring clip which is mounted to the guide body, wherein the spring clip is arranged in a clip receptacle which is defined by a middle web of the guide body and wall sections, arranged laterally thereof, of the guide body.
2. The fastening element of claim 1 , wherein a pair of clamping tabs are provided which are located diametrically opposite to each other with respect to the guide body.
3. The fastening element of claim 2 , wherein the spring clip has a U-shaped configuration with two legs, and includes one of said pair of clamping tabs at each of a free end of each of the legs, the pair of clamping tabs projecting obliquely outwards.
4. The fastening element of claim 3 , wherein a transition between the free ends of the two legs of the spring clip and the said clamping tabs is configured so as to be contracted inwards.
5. The fastening element of claim 1 , wherein the at least one clamping tab is flat and is oriented at such an angle that the outer edge is located at a rear of the guide body when viewed in an insertion direction.
6. The fastening element of claim 1 , wherein the clip receptacle includes at least one expansion surface which can cooperate with the spring clip in a region of the at least one clamping tab.
7. The fastening element of claim 3 , wherein connected to the guide body is a connecting element which includes one of a cable tie, a clip mechanism and a bracket mechanism.
8. An assembly comprising the fastening element of claim 1 and a receiving part which is provided with a receptacle in which the guide body of the fastening element is arranged such that the outer edge of the at least one clamping tab rests against an inner surface of the receptacle.
9. The assembly of claim 8 , wherein at least in a region of the outer edge, the material of the clamping tab is harder than the material of the inner surface of the receptacle.
10. An assembly comprising the fastening element of claim 1 and a receiving part having a receptacle in which the guide body of the fastening element is arranged such that the outer edge of the at least one clamping tab rests against an inner surface of the receptacle.
11. The assembly of claim 10 , wherein at least in a region of the outer edge, the material of the clamping tab is harder than the material of the inner surface of the receptacle.
12. A fastening element comprising:
a guide body that is configured to be received in a receptacle, wherein the guide body includes a middle web, lateral wall sections, and a clip receptacle defined by the middle web and the lateral wall sections; and
a spring clip mounted to the guide body, wherein the spring clip includes at least one clamping tab having an outer edge that is configured to cooperate with an inner surface of the receptacle, wherein the spring clip is arranged in the clip receptacle defined by the middle web and the lateral wall sections.
13. The fastening element of claim 12 , wherein the outer edge of the at least one clamping tab extends obliquely to a plane which is perpendicular to a central axis of the guide body, and wherein the outer edge includes a thread portion that is configured to allow the fastening element to be unscrewed from the receptacle.
14. The fastening element of claim 12 , wherein the at least one clamping tab comprises a first clamping tab located diametrically opposite from a second clamping tab with respect to the guide body.
15. The fastening element of claim 14 , wherein the spring clip further comprises a U-shaped portion with two legs, wherein one of the first and second clamping tabs is at each of a free end of each of the legs, and wherein the first and second clamping tabs project obliquely outwards.
16. The fastening element of claim 15 , wherein a transition between the free ends of the two legs of the spring clip and the first and second clamping tabs inwardly contracts.
17. The fastening element of claim 12 wherein the at least one clamping tab is flat and is oriented at an angle.
18. The fastening element of claim 12 , wherein the clip receptacle comprises at least one expansion surface that is configured to cooperate with the spring clip in a region of the at least one clamping tab.
19. The fastening element of claim 12 , further comprising a connecting element coupled to the guide body, wherein the connecting element includes one of a cable tie, a clip mechanism and a bracket mechanism.
20. A fastening element comprising:
a guide body that is configured to be received in a receptacle, wherein the guide body includes a middle web, lateral wall sections, and a clip receptacle defined by the middle web and the lateral wall sections; and
a spring clip mounted to the guide body, wherein the spring clip includes a first clamping tab and a second clamping tab, and a U-shaped portion with two legs, wherein one of the first and second clamping tabs is at each of a free end of each of the legs, wherein the first and second clamping tabs project obliquely outwards, wherein each of the first clamping tab and the second clamping tab has an outer edge that is configured to cooperate with an inner surface of the receptacle, wherein the outer edge extends obliquely to a plane which is perpendicular to a central axis of the guide body, wherein the outer edge includes a thread portion that is configured to allow the fastening element to be unscrewed from the receptacle, wherein the spring clip is arranged in the clip receptacle defined by the middle web and the lateral wall sections, and wherein a transition between the free ends of the two legs of the spring clip and the first and second clamping tabs inwardly contracts.
