Patent ID: 8763966

Claim:
A device for fastening the housing ( 2 ) of a refrigerant compressor on a container enclosing a cooling volume, comprising: the housing ( 2 ) fastened by an arbitrary number of connection elements ( 3 ) on a carrier element ( 1 ) arranged on the container and at least one connection element ( 3 ) is provided that can be fastened in a clamping or latching manner in at least one corresponding receptacle ( 4 ), wherein the at least one connection element ( 3 ) and the at least one receptacle ( 4 ) can be arranged on the housing ( 2 ) and the carrier element ( 1 ) respectively, and wherein the housing ( 2 ) can be moved from a first mounting position in which the at least one connection element ( 3 ) is threaded into the at least one receptacle ( 4 ) to an operating position in which the connection element ( 3 ) is fastened in a clamping or latching manner in the receptacle ( 4 ), wherein the receptacle ( 4 ) has a first receptacle section ( 4 a ) in which the connection element ( 3 ) can be threaded into the receptacle ( 4 ) and a second receptacle section ( 4 b ) in which the connection element ( 3 ) is latched or clamped, and the carrier element ( 1 ) has a retaining lip ( 23 ) that forms the second receptacle section ( 4 b ) and is elevated relative to a top side ( 17 ) of the carrier element ( 1 ) pointing toward the housing ( 2 ), wherein a foot section ( 6 ) of the connection element ( 3 ) can slide with an end ( 25 ) facing away from the housing ( 2 ) on the top side ( 17 ) of the carrier element ( 1 ) and can be moved into the retaining lip ( 23 ); further comprising that the connection element ( 3 ) has a shaft section ( 5 ) that can be held in the receptacle sections ( 4 a , 4 b ) of the receptacle ( 4 ) and the foot section ( 6 ) is adjacent to the shaft section, wherein the open width ( 4 a ′) of the first receptacle section ( 4 a ) is greater than the greatest cross-sectional width ( 6 ′) of the foot section ( 6 ), while the open width ( 4 b ′) of the second receptacle section ( 4 b ) is less than the greatest cross-sectional width ( 6 ′) of the foot section ( 6 ); further comprising that at least the shaft section ( 5 ) of the connection element ( 3 ) is produced from a material that can be deformed elastically or plastically.
