Patent ID: 8827585

Claim:
A fastening device for fastening a first component to a second component, with automatic tolerance compensation in the distance between the first component and the second component, said device comprising: a cylindrical holding element having a first end fixable to the first component, and a second end having an outer thread and an inner thread; a cylindrical adjusting element having a first end having an inner thread which can be screwed together with the outer thread of said holding element, in a first thread pairing with a first thread direction; and a carrying element releasably or permanently connected to a second end of said adjusting element, said carrying element comprising a fastening ring which is pressed into a second end of said adjusting element or permanently held by a suitable means of fastening, and a spring-loaded ring resiliently connected within the fastening ring via at least two projections extending in the radial direction; wherein the spring-loaded ring is spring-loaded in the axial direction of the adjusting element, said spring-loaded ring having an inner carrying element thread and an overcomeable carrying element thread blocking means for receiving a fastening screw and transmitting a rotational movement of the fastening screw to the adjusting element; wherein the fastening screw can be screwed into the inner thread of said holding element via a second thread pairing with a second thread direction which is opposite to the first thread direction; and wherein when the fastening screw is rotated the adjusting element is rotated along with it, and thereby, for the purpose of adjusting for tolerances, is moved into abutment with the second component.
