A damping apparatus for glove compartments, includes the following: an elastic element designed so as to be stretched by a relative movement of two components that are movable in relation to one another, whereby a damping effect of the relative movement of the components is produced; a stopping apparatus designed so as to contact the elastic element during the relative movement of the two movable components and to deform such that, from the start of the contact, there results a change in the damping effect caused by the elastic element.

Damping apparatus

Installation system for a box profile () for a motor vehicle, wherein the installation system () has: &#x2014;at least one carrier strip (), which can be pushed into the box profile (), &#x2014;at least one nut element () for prepositioning on the carrier strip (), wherein the nut element () is designed to be prepositioned in a releasable manner on the carrier strip (), and the installation system () has a positioning strip (), which can be displaced relative to the carrier strip () and is designed to arrange the at least one nut element (), in the state in which the latter has been prepositioned on the carrier strip (), on an opening () of the box profile (). Installation method. Nut element.

Mounting system for box profile

A fastening clip for fastening an attachment component on a carrier edge (), in particular in a vehicle, includes a clip body () with a main side () and holding legs () which lie opposite one another and extend away from the main side (), the holding legs () delimiting, together with the main side (), a receiving space () with an inlet opening () for the carrier edge (), wherein at least one of the holding legs () is adjoined by a holding section () which is bent over in the direction of the main side () of the clip body () and has at least one holding projection () which protrudes into the receiving space () in the direction of the opposite holding leg ().

Fastening clip for fastening an attachment component on a carrier edge

A spacer () for vibration-damped fastening of a mounting part () to a carrier part (), wherein the spacer has a base body () with a first flange region () and a second flange region () which is opposite viewed in the longitudinal direction (L) of the base body and with a passage () in which a fastener () which is connected to the carrier part, can be received at least sectionally. The base body has an at least two-part design with a first body part () and at least a further, second body part (), wherein the body parts can be detachable connected to one another to create the base body and wherein, in the connected state, a gap region () is provided between the first and second flange region, by which the border of a fastening hole () configured in the mounting part can be received.
