Abstract

See full text

A connecting assembly (10) for fastening an add-on element (56) on a carrier element (58) includes a first connecting part (12) which can be inserted into an opening (64) of the carrier element (58). The first connecting part (12) has retaining means for fixing the first connecting part (12) to the carrier element (58). The connecting assembly (10) further includes a second connecting part (14) which can be inserted into a bore (60) of the add-on element (56). The second connecting part (14) is adapted to be inserted into the first connecting part (12). The connecting assembly (10) is adapted to be converted from a pre-mounted state, in which the retaining means permit a removal of the first connecting part (12) from the carrier element (58), into a mounted state, in which the retaining means do not permit a removal of the first connecting part (12) from the carrier element (58). The connecting assembly (10) can be converted from the pre-mounted state into the mounted state by pressing down the second connecting part (14) into the first connecting part (12), and from the mounted state back into the pre-mounted state by a rotation of the second connecting part (14) relative to the first connecting part (12).
