Abstract

The invention relates to a deformable body with a hole which is suitable for receiving an anti-creepage ring and a fastener, wherein the hole has a central axis and the hole is delimited by the deformable material which forms the deformable body, wherein the body comprises a deformable protruding ring which surrounds the hole and protrudes in the direction of the central axis and a projection which surrounds the hole and is arranged at a distance from the protruding the ring in a direction perpendicular to the central axis, and the ring protrudes beyond the projection in the direction of the central axis.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A system with a deformable body formed from a deformable material with a hole which is suitable for receiving an anti-creepage ring and a fastener, wherein the hole has a central axis and the hole is delimited by the deformable material which forms the deformable body, with
a deformable protruding ring which surrounds the hole and protrudes in a direction of the central axis,
a first projection which surrounds the hole and is arranged at a distance from the protruding ring in a direction perpendicular to the central axis, wherein the protruding ring protrudes beyond the first projection in the direction of the central axis,
and an anti-creepage ring,
wherein the anti-creepage ring has a second projection which extends from the protruding ring in a direction to the first projection, and the anti-creepage ring has a tubular portion which is received by the hole, wherein second the projection extends from the tubular portion,
wherein the protruding ring is in contact with the second projection, and a recess is provided between the protruding ring and the first projection, so that at least a portion of the protruding ring can be deformed into the recess or onto the recess to or into a position in which it hangs over the recess.

2. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the anti-creepage ring is formed from a metal.

3. The system according to claim 1 , including a fastener which extends through the anti-creepage ring and the hole.

4. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the system includes the fastener extending through the anti-creepage ring and the hole.

5. The system according to claim 4 , including a support element which has a hole.

6. The system according to claim 5 , wherein the deformable body is arranged on the support element, and the fastener extends through the anti-creepage ring, the hole in the deformable body and the hole in the support element, and is screwed on the support element by screwing of the fastener into a threading which is provided by the hole of the support element or into a threading of a nut which is arranged on a distal end of the support element.

7. The system according to claim 6 , wherein an end of the tubular portion of the anti-creepage ring facing the support element is in contact with the support element in a second arrangement state of the system, when the fastener is screwed farther into the threading, and the deformable material which surrounds the hole of the deformable body in the area of the deformable body which receives the anti-creepage ring has been pressed together.
