Abstract
The invention concerns a component such as a lamp for fitting into a recess in a part of a body. The lamp is fixed in its reference position in the recess by a pivot projection engaging into an opening in the body, and by a V-shaped resilient detent element. The detent element has a first limb projecting inclinedly at an angle from the rear wall of the component. The first limb has a holding projection which in the reference position of the component engages behind an opening in the body. The free end of the second limb of the detent element carries dismantling projections which when the component is further pressed into the recess latch behind catches on the component to fix the detent element in a configuration in which the holding projection is released from its latching engagement with the body.
