Abstract
Example embodiments relate to an apparatus comprising a first flange part; a second flange part comprising a hole and one of a male portion or a female portion; and a spindle comprising a first axial end, an axial body, a second axial end and an other of the male portion or the female portion arranged on the second axial end of the spindle. The first axial end of the spindle is rigidly connected to the first flange part, while the second axial end of the spindle extends through the hole so that the male portion extends into the female portion to secure the spindle part to the second flange part and so that the axial body extends between the first flange part and the second flange part. The male portion or the female portion is elastically deformable to allow the male portion to be removed from the female portion and the spindle to be removed from the second flange part.
