Abstract
A fastening device for pivotably fixing one end of a linear drive to a support part includes a first fastening half disposed at an end of the linear drive and a second fastening half arranged on the support part. The linear drive has an installation position and a functional position, the installed position being inclined at an angle with respect to the functional position. One of the fastening halves includes a U-shaped or L-shaped section. The U-shaped or L-shaped section includes a bolt extending transversely with respect to an axis of the linear drive. The bolt has two mutually parallel, flat outer surfaces, the outer surfaces being disposed on two opposite sides of the bolt and extending parallel to a bolt axis. The other fastening half includes a cylindrical bolt socket having a radial bolt-insertion opening in an insertion direction. When the linear drive is in the installation position, the bolt is insertable into the bolt socket through the bolt-insertion opening with the outer surfaces of the bolt parallel to the insertion direction. When the bolt has been inserted into the bolt socket, the linear drive is pivotable about the bolt axis into the functional position.
