Abstract

Claims (24)

1 . A fastening arrangement for a lighting device on a structural element of a vehicle, the lighting device being configured to light at least a partial region of an environment of the vehicle, comprising:

a fastening device by which the lighting device is fastened to the structural element, the fastening device comprising:

at least one first through opening of the structural element, the first through opening of which is penetrated by the lighting device such that a first partial region of the lighting device is arranged on a rear side of the structural element facing away from the environment and a second partial region of the lighting device is arranged on a front side of the structural element facing the environment;

at least one clamping element which is arranged on the rear side, is connected to the first partial region, and is clamped against the rear side, as a result of which the second partial region is clamped against the front side;

at least one second through opening of the structural element, which second through opening is arranged next to the first through opening, is spaced apart and is separated from the first through opening;

at least one first screw element of the lighting device, the screw element having threads and penetrating the second through opening; and

at least one second screw element which is arranged on the rear side, is screwed to the first screw element and thus clamped against the rear side, as a result of which the second partial region is clamped against the front side.

2 . The fastening arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein

the first partial region has a third screw element which penetrates a third through opening of the clamping element and to which a fourth screw element is screwed, as a result of which the fourth screw element is clamped against a side of the clamping element facing away from the rear side and the clamping element is clamped against the rear side.

3 . The fastening arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein

the second through opening follows the first through opening in a direction transverse with respect to a travel direction of the vehicle.

4 . The fastening arrangement according to claim 3 , wherein

the second through opening follows the first through opening inward in the transverse direction of the vehicle.

5 . The fastening arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein

the first through opening is arranged in an indentation in the structural element.

6 . The fastening arrangement according to claim 5 , wherein

the indentation is formed by a stamping of the structural element.

7 . The fastening arrangement according to claim 5 , wherein

in the indentation, there is a second indentation in the structural element, in the second indentation of which the second through opening is arranged.

8 . The fastening arrangement according to claim 7 , wherein the second indentation is formed by a stamping of the structural element.

9 . The fastening arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein

the first and second through openings are formed in a wall of the structural element, which wall is formed from a single piece.

10 . A vehicle comprising at least one fastening arrangement according to claim 1 .

11 . The fastening arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the threads of the third screw element are external, and the threads of the fourth screw element are internal.
