Abstract:
A device for connecting two components comprising a cup-shaped assembly element and an actuating element mounted in the assembly element so as to be rotatable about an axis of rotation, wherein the actuating element is adapted for holding a connecting element in the assembly element, wherein, in a mounted state of the assembly element, the actuating element is adapted to be turned by an external tool having an actuating tip, and wherein the assembly element has a guide duct extending obliquely relative to the axis of rotation of the actuating element and directed toward the actuating element, wherein the actuating element has a receiving means for receiving the tool obliquely guided in the guide duct, wherein the guide duct is comprised of an inclined rearward circumferential portion and a front circumferential portion extending parallel to the axis of rotation, wherein the inclined rearward circumferential portion is configured to guide a shaft of the tool and the front circumferential portion is configured to guide the actuating tip of the tool so that the oblique position of the tool relative to the actuating element is predetermined.
