A device for compensating for tolerances between two components to be interconnected may have a hollow-cylindrical compensating element connected with a hollow-cylindrical base element. The device may also have a threaded element for screwing together with a screw element that extends through an inner cavity of the base element and an inner cavity of the compensating element. The device may also have a driving element which is arranged in the inner cavity of the compensating element and is in frictional engagement with the screw element passing through the cavities, such that a torque exerted by the screw element can be transmitted to the compensating element. The threaded element for screwing together with the screw element is formed in the inner cavity of the compensating element as an inner thread. An arrangement for compensating for tolerances between two components to be interconnected is also described.

A positioning device for aligning and guiding a first half and a second half of a mold together. The positioning device may comprise a housing including identical wall members configured to define a cavity. A first member may be slidably disposed within the cavity defined by the housing. The first member may comprise a base and a plurality of walls extending from said base, wherein the plurality of walls is configured to define a void with an opening opposite the base. The first member may further comprise a post extending from the base opposite the plurality of walls and a ring disposed radially about a portion of the post, wherein the ring is configured to retain the first member within the housing. The positioning device may further comprise a second member comprising a base and a protrusion, wherein the protrusion is configured to matingly engage the void of the member.

A multipart adjustment element for a tolerance compensation arrangement for automatically compensating for tolerances in the spacing between a first and a second component. The adjustment element comprises a bush, a dragging element, a contact disc, and a securing sleeve. The bush has a bore, an outer thread with a first direction, and a step. The dragging element comprises at least one spring arm protruding radially inwards, wherein a first axial end of the dragging element is arranged on the step in the threaded bush. The contact disc is arranged adjacently to the first axial end of the threaded bush and has a through-opening. The securing sleeve likewise has a through-opening and is arranged at least partly in the bore of the threaded bush with a press-fit connection in order to securely connect the contact disc, the threaded bush, and the dragging element together.

A double eccentric bushing arrangement comprises a first eccentric bushing comprising a first eccentric aperture, a second eccentric bushing comprising a second eccentric aperture, a fastener, a washer configured to be received around a portion of the second eccentric bushing, and a snap ring configured to be received around a portion of the second eccentric bushing to secure the washer in an installed position. The first eccentric bushing is configured to receive the second eccentric bushing in the first eccentric aperture. The second eccentric bushing is configured to receive the fastener in the second eccentric aperture. The first eccentric bushing is rotatable with respect to the second eccentric bushing to adjust a position of the fastener with respect to an adjacent component to which the fastener is being attached.

An assembly that comprises a first part and a second part. The second part comprises a non-faying surface facing the base surface, a plurality of faying surfaces manifested at bosses that are shimmed if and as required, and a plurality of second through-holes. A width of each one of the plurality of bosses is equal to or greater than 2(r+T tan θ), where r is a maximum radial dimension of an outermost peripheral portion of a fastener in contact with the first part or the second part, T is the distance from the point of contact, between a fastener and the first part or the second part, and a faying surface of a corresponding boss, and θ is an angle between a central axis of the corresponding second through-hole and an outermost load vector initiating at the point of contact between the fastener and the first part or the second part.

A dual-sleeve, locking adjustment arrangement includes a position-sensitive component comprising an aperture, an outer eccentric sleeve disposed in the aperture, and an inner eccentric sleeve disposed in the outer sleeve. Rotation of the outer sleeve with respect to the position-sensitive component and the inner sleeve drives rotation of the position-sensitive component to adjust an angular position of the component.

A curtain wall panel mounting system comprises a ball anchor seated in a spherical cavity or a cylindrical cavity with plugs nearly abutting the ball of the anchor. A stem extends from the ball to connect to the wall panel. Under seismic stress, the ball may swivel within the cavity so as to pivot the anchor, allowing the attached wall panel to angle itself to accommodate the stress.

A fixing disc (1) for initially fixing a fastening element (2) in an opening of a component to be fastened, in particular a facade panel, during mounting of the fastening element (2) and for cutting into and/or removing a defined region of a protective film on the component to be fastened during mounting of the fastening element (2) is described. The fixing disc (1) has a fixing means for initially holding the fastening element (2) in a predetermined position relative to the opening during mounting of the fastening element (2), at least one connecting means (4) for at least temporarily producing a connection between the fixing disc (1) and the fastening element (2), and at least one cutting and/or friction means (5) on that side of the fixing disc (1) which faces the component to be fastened. Furthermore, a fastening element (2) corresponding to the fixing disc (1), a system consisting of fixing disc (1) and fastening element (2), and a corresponding method for cutting into and/or removing a protective film are described.

A connecting device including first and second off-center rings, the second ring being positioned in the first ring. The peripheral outer surface of the first ring is frustoconical and has a smaller cross section oriented in a first direction, and the inner surface of the first ring and the outer surface of the second ring, which surfaces interact with one another, have cross sections which increase between a first cross section and a second cross section that is offset in relation to the first cross section in an opposite direction to the first direction. This arrangement makes it possible to be able to prevent the rotation of the first and second rings once their angular positioning has been adjusted.

The present invention relates to a device for compensating tolerances between two components to be braced by means of a screw element, comprising a base element; a compensating element that can be moved out of the base element, wherein the base element and the compensating element form a passage, defining an axial direction, for the screw element; a fastening nut for the screw element; and a connecting element that connects the fastening nut to the base element and serves to premount the device on a first of the components to be connected.
