Problems solved by technology

For this reason, another disadvantage is that, for assembly, both sides of the parts to be connected must be accessible
In addition, in the case of additional joints, depending on the configuration, gaps may arise between the parts to be connected
it is also disadvantageous

Embodiment Construction

[0081] In the following, two preferred embodiments of the connection unit of the present invention are described in detail. The connecting unit is characterized in particular in that it is adjustable both axially and radially, ie its length can be adjusted manually to the desired distance between the two parts. Furthermore, the connecting unit ensures that even if the connection points of two parts to be connected are not arranged parallel, these parts are not connected to each other in a tensioned manner. Optionally, a sealing function can be provided.

[0082] Thus, the joining unit can be used at any two parts to be joined which are spaced apart by a distance and where possible where the angle between the joining points has to be compensated, ie where the junctions are not aligned parallel to each other. An example for this is the fastening of lights, in particular taillights or roof rails, to the body of a motor vehicle.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a connection unit (1; 100) for connecting a first component A to a second component B with a space in between. The connection unit (1; 100) comprises a connection screw (10; 110) having a head (12; 112) in the form of a first ball segment and a shank (16; 116) extending therefrom. The shank (16; 116) comprises an external thread (18; 118) having a first thread direction. The connection unit (1; 100) furthermore comprises a hollow-cylindrical base element (30; 130) having the following features: adjacently to a first axial end (32; 132), a second external thread (34; 134) having a second thread direction for fastening in the first component A, and radially inwardly a first region (35; 135) having a first inner diameter; a through-opening (38; 138) is provided on a second axial end (36; 136) and has a second inner diameter which is smaller than the first inner diameter, and an outer side of the base element (30; 130) is designed in the form of a second ball segment (40; 140). The first region (35; 135) and the through-opening (38; 138) are spaced axially from one another and are connected by a transition region (44; 144), which at least partly provides a bearing surface (46; 146) for the head (12; 112) of the connection screw (10; 110), and the shank (16; 116) of the connection screw (10; 110) extends through the through-opening (38; 138).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a connecting unit for connecting two parts separated by a distance, a first part with a connecting unit, a connection of two parts via the connecting unit, a method for producing the connecting unit and a method for connecting the two parts through the connecting unit. The corresponding connection method of the unit connecting two parts. Background technique [0002] In many fields of this technology, two components, often at a distance from each other, are to be connected to each other. In the technical field of the automotive industry, an example of two components that are fixed to each other at a distance is a rear light that is fixed to the body. Another example is roof rails fastened to the body. [0003] Especially in the automotive industry, the components to be connected are increasingly determined by design. For this reason, it increasingly happens that two components to be connected at the connection point, ie at t...
