Abstract: A fastener element for connecting a structural part, in particular a lining, to a support part having a fastening hole, in particular a body sheet of an automobile, comprising a fastener body integrally formed of plastic material, the fastener body having a head for the attachment of the structural part, a shank connected to the head and a sealing flange between head and shank, and a locking part adapted to be connected to the shank through a releasable snapping connection and having snapping portions which cooperate with an edge of the fastening hole when the shank is introduced in the fastening hole in order to secure the fastener element on the support part, characterized in that the shank has two approximately parallel spaced outer webs which are interconnected by a transverse web the transverse web extending being spaced from the free end of the outer webs, with the transverse web having a tapered portion tapering to the lower end thereof, the outer webs on the surfaces facing each other having projections adjacent to the free end of the outer webs including upper and lower ramp surfaces, with the lower ramp surfaces converging to the free end of the outer webs and the upper ramp surfaces converging towards the head a washer-like locking part is formed of plastic material and is provided with an approximately rectangular aperture, holding portions approximately L-shaped in cross-section being linked each to opposing edges of the aperture, the holding portions having a first web portion which is formed to the washer-like locking part and a second web portion which extends from an upper side of the locking part into the aperture towards the lower side of the locking part, a slot is formed between the other opposing edges of the aperture and both holding portions adapted each to accommodate an outer web which is approximately matched to the slot and introduced from the upper side of the locking part, the lower ramp surfaces of the projections move the holding portion away from each other and the lower side of the second web portions can engage the upper ramp surfaces from above, the lower end of the transverse web and the associated facing surfaces of the first web portions of the holding portions are formed such that the holding portions are further pivoted away from each other and the second web portions undergrip the edge of the fastening hole if the shank is introduced in the fastening hole while the washer-like locking part engages the support part.

Abstract: A fastener element includes a fastener body and a locking part. The body includes a shank having two outer webs interconnected by a transverse web. The outer webs have projections including upper and lower ramp surfaces. The locking part includes an aperture having first and second pairs of opposing edges, and L-shaped holding portions each having a first web portion linked to one of the first opposing edges, and a second web portion extending into the aperture. When the outer webs are introduced into slots between the second opposing edges and the holding portions, the lower ramp surfaces move the holding portions away from each other and the second web portions engage the upper ramp surfaces from above. If the shank is introduced in a fastening hole of a support part while the locking part engages the support part, the holding portions are further pivoted away from each other and the second web portions grip the edge of the fastening hole.

Abstract translation: 紧固元件包括紧固件主体和锁定部件。 主体包括具有通过横向腹板互连的两个外腹板的柄。 外部腹板具有包括上部和下部斜面的凸起。 锁定部分包括具有第一和第二对相对边缘的孔，并且L形保持部分各自具有连接到第一相对边缘中的一个的第一腹板部分和延伸到孔中的第二腹板部分。 当外部腹板被引入到第二相对边缘和保持部分之间的狭槽中时，下斜面使保持部分彼此远离并且第二腹板部分从上方接合上斜面。 如果在锁定部分与支撑部分接合的同时将柄引入支撑部分的紧固孔中，则保持部分进一步枢转，并且第二腹板部分抓住紧固孔的边缘。
