Abstract
A fastening device on a plastic attachment for a motor vehicle, especially on a bumper, with a receptacle formed in one piece on the attachment for a part to be fastened to the attachment by means of snap fastening, which, like the receptacle, has no resiliently deformable snap fastening element, and a plug-in element having resiliently deformable snap fastening elements for position-setting snap fastening on the one hand to the part to be fastened and on the other hand to the socket on the attachment, is to be made susceptible of rational and simple manufacture. For this purpose such a fastening device provides for the engagement of at least one of the snap fastening means of the plug-in element, the receiver of the attachment has substantially oppositely lying arms of limited circumference with at least one opening each with respect to the direction of insertion of the plug-in element for the achievement of the position-fixing snap fastening in question. The plug-in element is provided with pockets for the engagement of the arms of the receiver of the attachment, in which the arms, with their freely terminating end portions, are fixed in position on all sides in a plane perpendicular to the direction of insertion of the plug-in element.
