Connection device for vehicle body parts

摘要

The device uses a threaded nut, located floating in a cage. When not screwed in, the nut (9) is maintained in the cage by a holder (7) at radial distance to the cage (3), and at axial distance to the passage aperture (2) for the cage in the metal body part, relative to central longitudinal axis (13) of the aperture. The holder consists of a non-metallic material, esp. plastic. It moves axially and flexibly in the cage, under axial load. Freedom of motion for screw and holder is blocked due to friction connection, until screwing-in forces are applied.
