Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A fastening arrangement of a supply rail in a connection region in which two bodywork components are connected to one another is provided, in which arrangement the supply rail rests on a first bodywork component and is held on the first bodywork component via a holding element. By way of the holding element, the first bodywork component is held on the second bodywork component.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A fastening arrangement, comprising: a supply rail; first and second body components that overlap and are connected to each other in a connecting region, wherein the supply rail rests on the first body component in the connecting region; and a holding element operatively connected to the second body component, the holding element having a protrusion by which the first body component is held on the second body component and the supply rail is held on the first body component. 2. The fastening arrangement according to claim 1 , further comprising: a cover held on the holding element, the cover circumferentially surrounding the supply rail together with the first body component. 3. The fastening arrangement according to claim 2 , wherein the holding element is held on the second body component and/or the cover is held on the holding element via at least one screw connection or via at least one spherical fastening element received in a corresponding receptacle shaped to accommodate the spherical fastening element. 4. The fastening arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the holding element is fastened to the second body component and is formed separately from the first body component and grips the first body component in regions, as a result of which the first body component is held on the second body component. 5. The fastening arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein a side of the first body component facing away from the second body component has a notch in which the holding element engages. 6. The fastening arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the first body component has at least one guide element by which the holding element is guidable relative to the first body component. 7. The fastening arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the first body component has a protruding collar which laterally covers the supply rail resting on the first body component and via which the first body component is held on the second body component via the holding element. 8. The fastening arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the holding element is adhesively bonded to the first body component. 9. The fastening arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the holding element is formed integrally with the first body component. 10. A fastening method, comprising: arranging a supply rail in a connecting region on a first body component, the first body component overlapping with and being arranged on and connected to a second body component in the connecting region; fastening a holding element to the second body component, the holding element having a protrusion by which the supply rail is held on the first body component and the first body component is held on the second body component.
