DEVICE FOR ATTACHING TWO STRUCTURAL PARTS TO EACH OTHER, COMPRISING A FLOATING POSITIONING ELEMENT

摘要

The invention relates to a device for attaching a cross-member of a dashboard to a front pillar lining, said device comprising a reinforcing element (13) provided with a first positioning element (14) for cooperating with a second positioning element (15) secured to the dashboard in such a way that they occupy a relative determined position. An attachment element is used to immobilise the assembly in said determined position. The attachment device is designed such that the connection between the first positioning element (14) and the reinforcing element (13) comprises a position regulating mechanism designed so as to vary between an unlocked state wherein the position of the first positioning element (14) is adjustable in relation to the reinforcing element (13), and a locked state wherein the first positioning element (14) is fixed in relation to the reinforcing element (13).

主权项

1: An attaching device which is designed to attach a first structural part (10) of a structure of a motor vehicle, in particular a dashboard cross-member, on a second structural part (11) of said structure, in particular a front foot lining, the device comprising:
a reinforcement element (13), in particular in the form of an angle iron, which is designed to be attached on the second part (11), in particular by welding; a first positioning element (14), which is connected to the reinforcement element (13), and is designed to cooperate with a second positioning element (15) which is integral with the first part (10), such as to make the first part (10) occupy a determined position relative to the second part (11); an attaching element which is designed to immobilize the first part (10) in said determined position, which attaching device is characterized in that the connection between the first positioning element (14) and the reinforcement element (13) comprises a position-regulating mechanism which is configured such as to vary between a state of release, in which the position of the first positioning element (14) relative to the reinforcement element (13) is adjustable, and a blocking state in which the first positioning element (14) is fixed relative to the reinforcement element (13).
