Component-arrangement for motor vehicle, has bolt-like functional element comprising ball-shaped head inserted into recess in form of snap connection such that functional element partially project outwardly from components

摘要

The arrangement (1) has a component (2) connected with another component by a clinch connection (4), where the components are designed as sheet plates. The connection has a ball socket-shaped recess (5), and a bolt-like functional element (6) comprises a ball-shaped head (8) that is inserted into the recess in the form of a snap connection such that the functional element partially project outwardly from the components. The head is arranged at an axial end section (7) of the functional element, and another axial end section (9) of the functional element projects from the former end section. An independent claim is also included for a method for connecting components.
