Connector, connecting method and a production method for same

1. Connector for at least a first and a second component having a distance therebetween, having the following features:

a first leg with a first opening as a first part and a second leg with a second opening as a second part, distinct from the first part,

which are movably connected to each other by a one-sided form-fit connection so that

a distance between the first and the second leg is adjustable freely or stepwise in a predefined interval and

a component having a component opening is receivable between the first and the second leg and the connector is fastenable in the component opening by a fastening element, wherein

the first and the second leg are connectable to each other by a web provided on one of the first and second leg, where said one of the first and second leg is received in an elongated hole provided in the other of the first and second leg, and wherein the first and second leg are arranged pivotably around the web, wherein the web is displaceable within the elongated hole perpendicular to a pivoting axis defined by the web, and

in which the pivoting axis is arranged in two oppositely positioned elongated holes, having a longitudinal extension outside of a plane of the first and second leg.

2. Connector according to claim 1 , in which the second leg has a fastening thread adjacent to the second opening.

3. Connector according to claim 2 , in which the fastening thread is formed by a nut held in a cage.

4. Connector according to claim 3 , in which the nut has a longitudinal extension so that it extends through the component opening of the first component in the fastened condition of the second leg for being supportable at the first leg.

5. Connector according to claim 4 , in which the second leg is braceable against the first component in a press-fit by the nut.

6. Connector according to claim 4 , in which the first leg comprises a reinforcement, which protrudes at least partly into the component opening so that the reinforcement is engageable by the nut.

7. Connector according to claim 1 , in which the first leg comprises a tolerance compensating element for compensating tolerances between the first and the second component.

8. Connector according to claim 2 , in which the first leg comprises a threaded element in the inner thread of which an adjusting element is guided, wherein a first thread turn direction of the inner thread is opposed to a second thread turn direction of the fastening thread of the second leg.

9. Connector according to claim 8 , in which the adjusting element comprises an inner dragging element for providing a frictional connection with a fastening screw.

10. Connector according to claim 1 , in which the first and second leg are pre-tensionable with respect to each other by at least one spring arm.

11. Connecting method for a first and a second component having a distance therebetween using the connector according to claim 1 , comprising the following steps:

inserting of the first component between the first and the second leg of the connector and at this displacing the first and second leg guided with respect to each other by the form-fit connection and

fastening a second component with a fastening screw at the first component with connector by screwing the fastening screw into a fastening thread of the second opening of the second leg.

12. Connector according to claim 5 , in which the first leg comprises a reinforcement, which protrudes at least partly into the component opening so that the reinforcement is engageable by the nut.

13. Connecting method according to claim 11 , comprising the further step:

displacing an adjusting element into abutment with the second component by screwing the fastening screw into the adjusting element so that tolerances between the first and second component are compensated.
