The invention relates to a device for holding a head of a pin of a component, said device having a receiving space which defines an opening via which the head of the pin can be inserted; a spring element disposed in the receiving space; and a path limiter which is disposed in the receiving space. The spring element has a receptacle for the head of the pin of the component, and the straight line which connects the geometric center point of the opening to the geometric center point of the receptacle forms a reference line. A curved or bent receiving section of a spring arm of the spring element is provided as part of the receptacle. The receiving section has at least one distance point which is arranged furthest from the reference line than other points along the extension of the curved or bent receiving section.

Fastening system

A fastening device to be fitted into a support part () has a cover plate () and two clamping arms (). Each clamping arm () has an inner leg () and an outer leg () which has a bracing structure on its end facing the cover plate (). The bracing structure of each clamping arm () is provided with two flat side cheeks () that are joined to mutually opposite side margins () of the respective outer leg () and extend toward the other clamping arm (). Each side cheek () has an end face () that is oriented at an angle to the cover plate () and falls away toward the respective outer leg () from the end remote from that outer leg (). The fastening device according to the invention can consequently be used in the presence of relatively high extraction forces with support parts that vary in thickness over a relatively large range.

Fastening device

A device for fastening a rectangular sensor to a support part has a base plate () in which a receiving recess () is made. Guide walls () are integrally formed on mutually opposite edge sides () of the receiving recess (), said guide walls extending between two corner regions () of the receiving recess (), which corner regions end an edge side (). Furthermore, stop parts () which are shorter than the length of the guide walls () are integrally formed on the other edge sides (), in each case in the central region thereof, the stop parts each having at least one stop section () oriented at right angles to the base plate (), wherein the guide sections () and the stop sections () bear against a wall of the sensor when the sensor is fitted. As a result, even sensors of relatively large dimensions can be fastened to the support part in a stable and accurately fitting manner with relatively little expenditure on material.
