Patent ID: 8753055

Claim:
A device for connecting two components, comprising: an anchoring element with an elongated anchoring section with an elongated hollow space and a head section provided on one end of the anchoring section, wherein the anchoring section is insertable into an opening of a first component and lockable on the opening, and wherein the head section forms a contact surface for a second component on its side facing away from the anchoring section, and a fastening element with a head and a pin section extending from the head with an outer thread, wherein the pin section is insertable into the elongated hollow space of the anchoring element and can be fastened in the same, characterized in that at least four elastic locking feet are provided on the anchoring section extending in the longitudinal direction of the anchoring section and perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the anchoring section at least in sections, wherein two locking feet are provided on opposing sides of the anchoring section, respectively, the locking feet each have at least two locking shoulders arranged offset in the longitudinal direction of the anchoring section, with which the locking feet can be locked on openings of components of different thicknesses, and wherein opposing locking feet each have identically designed locking shoulders, which are however offset with respect to the locking shoulders of other opposing locking feet in the longitudinal direction of the anchoring section, and in the elongated hollow space of the anchoring section at least two diametrically opposed rows are provided, each with a plurality of fins being directed radially inwards and being distanced in the axial direction for holding the pin section of the fastening element, wherein the axial distance between the fins is not equal to the thread pitch of the pin section; wherein for respective feet, the respective at least two locking shoulders have outer peripheries in the lateral direction that are offset, wherein the respective outer peripheries extend further from a center of the anchoring element with distance from the head section of the anchoring element.
