A snap connection is provided between a push rod, e.g., of brakes, to an actuating element, e.g., a brake pedal. A fastening clip () is detachably fastened to the pedal. The push rod includes a spherical end () which can be held in an articulated manner by the fastening clip () for transmitting actuating forces. The interior of the fastening clip has two elastically deformable locking lips () acting as barbs, which fix the spherical end of the push rod () in the pedal () after the insertion of the push rod () into the fastening clip (). The fastening clip () is preferably a plastic part with essentially closed sides, which are closed off on the pedal side by a front surface with an opening for the spherical end of the push rod. The opening has an insertion area () for inserting the spherical end of the push rod () and a removal area () for removing the push rod ().

Pedal with fastening clip for push rod

A safety device for removing a bearing bolt (), especially a pedal bolt in a motor vehicle, is provided with at least one first mounting part (), which has at least one through hole for a bolt connection with at least one connecting piece (), as well as at least one bearing bolt (). The bearing bolt () extends through the through hole in order to connect the mounting part () and the connecting piece () with one another. The bearing bolt () removing structure has at least one pushing element (), which compresses the bearing bolt () that is compressible in the direction of the axial axis of the bolt (). The bolt () is compressed under the action of a force over at least one plane () that is oblique in relation to the bolt axis and moves the bearing bolt () out of the mounting part () in the compressed state in order to hereby open the mounting point.

Safety device for removing a bolt, especially a pedal bolt, in a motor vehicle

A device is provided for adjusting a connecting piece () mounted rotatably by a mounting device (). The connecting piece is particularly part of a pedal mechanism of a motor vehicle coupled with a transmission unit () for transmitting the movement of the connecting piece (). An adjusting mechanism () is provided for adjusting the position of the connecting piece (). A locking unit prevents the unintentional adjustment of the connecting piece (). The mounting device () comprises a bearing shell () and a baseplate (). The bearing shell () is movably connected to the baseplate () arranged stationarily at the vehicle. The bearing shell () can be moved along the baseplate () upon the loosening of the locking unit such that the position of the transmission unit () coupled with the connecting piece () remains unchanged during the adjustment of the connecting piece () mounted in the mounting device (), so that the adjusting mechanism () is integrated within the mounting device ().
