Patent ID: 7922413

Claim:
A connection device for attaching a planiform or dish-shaped component to a supporting structure having a first retainer coupled to the component and a second retainer mounted on the supporting structure, the connection device comprising: an anchorage part including a screw thread adapted to couple the anchorage part with the first retainer adjustably in at least a Z-translational direction in relation to a surface of the component when the anchorage part is coupled to the first retainer; an insertion pin, including a trunnion portion on a first end and a ball on a second end of the insertion pin opposite of the first end, the ball coupling with the anchorage part as a ball joint, such that the insertion pin is adapted to be adjustable in at least the Z-translational direction in relation to the surface of the component; a receiver, the receiver being of an elastically deformable soft material and having a first recess, the first recess being contoured for receiving the trunnion portion of the insertion pin, providing a snap connection between the receiver and the insertion pin and, the receiver includes a support flange capable of coupling with the second retainer mounted to the supporting structure such that the support flange of the receiver fits flat against the second retainer and is to be adjustably held and attachable in an XY-plane substantially perpendicularly in relation to the Z-translational direction; and a locking device for locking the support flange within the second retainer, wherein the locking device locks the support flange within the second retainer when activated.
