Patent ID: 8616165

Claim:
An arrangement for coupling first and second components of an internal combustion engine that are arranged movable relative to each other, comprising at least one coupling element that is arranged movable in the first component for coupling with the second component to be coupled, wherein at a contact point between the coupling element and the second component, a force acting on the coupling element during coupling is adapted to be introduced directed at an angle to a coupling direction of the coupling element; and, the coupling element has first and second parts that are guided movable relative to each other on respective guide sections and a damping element is arranged in a flow of forces between the first and second parts for transferring the coupling movement, the first and second parts are both movable in the coupling direction for coupling the first component with the second component, with the damping element adapted to damp a contact force between the first part and the second component, and the first and second parts are both movable in a release direction for uncoupling the first and second components.
