Claim:
A snap fastening for fast mounting of fittings such as socket wrench latches, swivel lever latches, hinge parts in openings in a thin wall, comprising: a head part which is to be arranged on one, outer side of the thin wall and which overlaps an outer rim of the opening; a body part which proceeds from the head part and projects through the opening in the mounted position; holding elements which project from the body part and are flexible in direction of an outer surface of said body part, a free end of each of said holding elements being provided with a first inclined surface such that the holding element is pushed back against a spring force of a spring by the opening edge and with a second inclined surface for supporting the body part without play on the rim or edge of the opening of the other, inner side of the thin wall; said second inclined surface being substantially perpendicular to the first inclined surface; said body part, holding element and said spring being separate parts; said holding elements being slides which are arranged so as to be displaceable in a cylinder, formed in the body part, that is parallel to the plane of the thin wall and is rectangular in cross section; and said slides being held against the spring force by a hook arrangement locking between the slides or in the cylinder, or by friction forces, or by a pin.
