Abstract:
1. A device for securing first and second relatively movable parts, said device comprising: at least one holding element which is allocated to the first part and is movable to engage into the second part, in a direction transverse to a direction of relative movement of the first and second parts; wherein, the second part has at least one container that contains granular material; when engaged into the second part, the holding element is embedded into the granular material; a volume of said container is substantially equal to a volume of said granular material contained therein, plus the volume of a portion of said holding element that projects into the container when said holding element is engaged into the second part, wherein movement of said holding element into engagement with said second part provides a positive fit of said holding element and said granular material within said container, which positive fit precludes movement of said holding element within said container, and movement of said first and second parts; and the holding element protrudes from a plate of the first part forming a displaceable lid for the container.
