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 fastening element for connecting a first component to a second component may have a pin-like connecting element with a first fastening region and a second fastening region. The fastening element may also have a sleeve which is configured for insertion into a receiving opening of the first component. The fastening element may also have a compensation element which is provided with a receptacle for receiving the first fastening region and which is configured for insertion and adjustment in a longitudinal direction in the sleeve. At least one drive interface may be provided on the compensating element by which the compensating element can be adjusted in the longitudinal direction in the sleeve.

The present invention relates to a vehicle body assembly structure allowing a distance between a vehicle body and a part to be adjusted in any of left-right, front-rear, and up-down directions with a simple structure such as a screw.

A method connects a first component to a second component. The first component is located at a distance to the second component. The method includes: providing a spacer element which has a sleeve-shaped section with a through-opening and an outer thread; screwing the spacer element with the outer thread into a threaded bore which is provided in the second component; screwing the spacer element into a screwed position in which the spacer element protrudes out of the threaded bore such that the spacer element bridges the distance between the first and the second component, wherein the end face of the spacer element rests against the first component side facing the second component; and clamping together the two components and the spacer element by way of a screw which is screwed into the sleeve-shaped section of the spacer element or which passes through the sleeve-shaped section of the spacer element.

A tolerance compensation arrangement for fastening first and second components with compensation of tolerances between the components. The arrangement comprises a base element having a first element with a first inner thread, a second element with a second inner thread, a supporting element arranged in between, and an adjustment unit with a threaded sleeve with an outer thread and a dragging unit at least partially arranged in the sleeve. The outer thread forms a first thread pairing of a first thread direction with the first inner thread. A fastening screw, can be screwed into the second inner thread via a second thread pairing of a second thread direction opposite to the first thread direction. The fastening screw can be connected to the adjustment unit via the dragging unit so that, during the rotation of the fastening screw, the adjustment unit co-rotates and is moved into abutment with the first component.

A locking positioning system includes a bearing having an inner race and an outer race. The outer race is coupled to the inner race, and the outer race is to be coupled to a second structure. The locking positioning system includes a housing movably coupled to the inner race, and the housing is to be coupled to a first structure. The locking positioning system includes a lock ring coupled to the housing. The lock ring is movable between a first position, in which the inner race is held in a fixed position, and a second position, in which the inner race is movable to adjust a position of the second structure relative to the first structure.

The invention relates to a tolerance compensation apparatus comprising a base element; a compensation element that is in threaded engagement with the base element and that forms a passage extending in an axial direction for a screw element; a nut into which the screw element can be screwed; and a holding element having a first limb holding the base element, a second limb holding the nut, and a connection section connecting the first and second limbs, wherein the first and second limbs are spaced apart from one another while forming a reception gap for receiving a component.

The present application provides a nut fastener, comprising a mounting nut and an adjustment bolt. The mounting nut comprises retaining arms and a nut receiving passage. The adjustment bolt is configured to be at least partially received in the nut receiving passage and comprises a bolt receiving passage. A bushing is arranged in the bolt receiving passage of the adjustment bolt and over molded onto a side wall of the bolt receiving passage by means of two-shot injection molding. The nut fastener in the present application is easy to mount and use.

A plumb adjuster configured to plumb an electrical enclosure mounted to a vertical or nearly vertical surface. The plumb adjuster includes a side wall with a threaded outer surface that is configured to engage a threaded surface of the electrical enclosure. The side wall defines a cavity accessible through a first opening at a first end that is configured to receive the head of a fastener for mounting the electrical enclosure to the surface. An end wall coupled to a second end of the side wall has an outer surface configured to engage the surface to which the electrical enclosure is mounted. The end wall has an inner surface configured to engage the head of the fastener. The end wall defines a second opening that extends through the end wall, and the second opening is configured to receive a shank of the fastener.

An adjustable monument mounting assembly is provided. The assembly comprises a saddle bracket that includes a recessed pocket section with a hole. A threaded adjustable fitting is configured at a first end to fit within the hole in the pocket and is accessible through the pocket. The opposite end of the adjustable fitting is configured to contact a structural mounting point. The adjustable fitting can be rotated within the hole and adjusted to bridge a gap between the saddle bracket and structural mounting point, eliminating the need for a shim. A bolt fits through a center through-hole in the adjustable fitting, allowing the adjustable fitting and bolt couple the saddled bracket to the structural mounting point.
