Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An attachment system for attaching a first component to a second component is provided, the system including a cylindrical element which has an outer lateral surface and a sleeve-shaped element which has an inner lateral surface, by means of which the two components may be variably attached to each other. At least one rib is arranged on one of the lateral services of the cylindrical or sleeve-shaped element and is oriented substantially perpendicularly to the axis of the cylindrical and sleeve-shaped elements. A projection is arranged on the other lateral surface of the sleeve-shaped or cylindrical element, the rib and the projection being provided on the cylindrical and sleeve-shaped elements in such a way that the sleeve-shaped element may be mounted on the cylindrical element, and the cylindrical element may be rotated relative to the mounted sleeve-shaped element in variable axial positions around the axis. The rib is brought into communication with the projection during rotation, and the cylindrical element being thereby fixed in place relative to the mounted sleeve-shaped element in the axial direction.
