Patent ID: 10907673

Abstract:
A tolerance compensating element for a device for connecting components by a connecting screw, includes an inner and an outer threaded part (10, 12), which are in threaded engagement with one another and, together, form a length-adjustable spacer (14), and a sleeve (30) which is held in the inner threaded part (10) and holds a spring element (34) in a position in which it comes into frictional contact with the circumference of the inserted connecting screw, and an unscrew protection device (44) in the form of a ring that is rotatably supported at one end of the spacer (14) and includes at least one arm (48) which projects axially into the sleeve (30) and, at the free end, forms an outwardly cranked claw (50) against which a stop (54) formed on the sleeve (30) abuts when a maximum unscrewing distance of the inner threaded part (10) is reached.
