Clip for securing an element to another element and use of a two-part clip of this type

1. A two-piece clip for securing an element to another element, wherein the clip comprises a first component is formed of a bent metal sheet, the clip including

a head and

a shaft, extending from the head along a shaft axis, the shaft having a point, the shaft having at least one protrusion featuring a contact surface facing the head and the head having a contact surface facing the protrusion,

further including a second component having a support surface facing the contact surface of the head, on which the contact surface of the head is supported, as well as a contact surface facing the protrusion, and a recess receiving the head,

wherein the at least one protrusion that features the contact surface is a springy element that is pushed in while the at least one protrusion is introduced through the recess and that bounces back after the at least one protrusion has passed the recess.

2. The two-piece clip according to claim 1 , wherein the second component has an opening with the shaft extending therethrough.

3. The two-piece clip according to the claim 2 , wherein the second component on the shaft is loosely movable on the shaft loose between a first position, in which the support surface abuts the contact surface of the head, and a second position, in that an elevation or a protrusion of the second component pushes against an edge of a recess of the first component, and/or in that the second component pushes against an elevation of the shaft.

4. The two-piece clip according to claim 1 , wherein the depth of the recess being such that when the contact surface of the head supports on the support surface of the second component, the head does not protrude out of the recess.

5. The two-piece clip according to claim 1 , wherein the recess and the head have a rectangular cross section.

6. The two-piece clip according to claim 1 , wherein the first component and the second component are made of different materials.

7. The two-piece clip according to claim 1 , wherein the contact surface facing the protrusion of the second component is a contact surface, specifically one that is annular shaped, that surrounds the shaft axis.

8. The use of the two-piece clip according to claim 1 for securing an airbag to an element of a vehicle.

9. A clip according to claim 1 , wherein the first component

has the head and a point and

has a first side and a second side, wherein the first side extends from the head in the direction of the point, and the second side extends from the head in the direction of the point,

wherein a first side wall extends from the first side in the direction of the second side,

wherein the head features a side surface and a contact surface facing the point, and wherein

the side surface of the head transitions into the contact surface of the head facing the point by way of a rounded edge, and/or wherein

the first side transitions in the first side wall by way of a rounded edge.

10. The clip according to claim 9 , wherein the side surface of the head transitions into the contact surface of the head facing the point via a first rounded edge, and the first side transitions into the first side wall via a second rounded edge, and the first rounded edge transitions into the second rounded edge via an arched segment.

11. A device with a first element and with a second element attached to the first element, wherein the first element has a hole and the second element is attached to the first element by means of a clip according to claim 1 , wherein the clip reaches across the hole in such a manner that the head of the clip is arranged on one side of the first element and the point of the clip is arranged on the opposing side of the element.

12. A clip for securing a first element to a second element, wherein the clip

has a head and a point defining the first element that is formed of a bent metal sheet, and

has a first side and a second side, wherein the first side extends from the head in the direction of the point, and the second side extends from the head in the direction of the point,

wherein a first side wall extends from the first side in the direction of the second side, wherein

the head features a side surface and a contact surface facing the point, and in that

the side surface of the head transitions into the contact surface of the head facing the point via a first rounded edge, and the first side transitions into the first side wall via a second rounded edge, and the first rounded edge transitions into the second rounded edge via an arched segment, and

the second element includes a recess receiving the head.

13. The clip according to claim 12 , wherein the contact surface of the head facing the point transitions into the first side wall via an arched segment.

14. A device with a first element and with a second element attached to the first element, wherein the first element has a hole and the second element is attached to the first element by means of a clip according to claim 12 , wherein the clip reaches across the hole in such a manner that the head of the clip is arranged on one side of the first element and the point of the clip is arranged on the opposing side of the element.

15. A two-piece clip for securing an element to another element, wherein the clip comprises a first component is formed of a bent metal sheet, the clip including

a head and

a shaft, extending from the head along a shaft axis, the shaft having a point, the shaft having at least one protrusion featuring a contact surface facing the head and the head having a contact surface facing the protrusion,

further including a second component having a support surface facing the contact surface of the head, on which the contact surface of the head is supported, as well as a contact surface facing the protrusion, the second component further having an opening with the shaft extending therethrough, and a recess receiving the head,

wherein the at least one protrusion that features the contact surface is a springy element that is pushed in while the at least one protrusion is introduced through the recess and that bounces back after the at least one protrusion has passed the recess.

16. The two-piece clip according to the claim 15 , wherein the second component on the shaft is loosely movable on the shaft loose between a first position, in which the support surface abuts the contact surface of the head, and a second position, in that an elevation or a protrusion of the second component pushes against an edge of a recess of the first component, and/or in that the second component pushes against an elevation of the shaft.

17. The two-piece clip according to claim 15 , wherein the depth of the recess is such that when the contact surface of the head supports on the support surface of the second component, the head does not protrude out of the recess.

18. The two-piece clip according to claim 15 , wherein the contact surface of the head facing the point transitions into the first side wall via an arched segment.
