Abstract
A lightweight construction fastener 30 has two basic elements, a clip body 40 including a connected fastening element 32. The clip body 40 has a first leg 41 and a second leg 42, which are arranged located opposite one another and which are connected to one another by a web 45 on one end. The fastening element 32 includes a flat base plate 34 with two protrusions 35, 36, and a cylindrical holding part 33. On its outer side, the second leg 42 has two frames 43, 44 with apertures 46, 47. They are provided to accommodate the protrusions 35, 36 of the fastening element 32, so that the fastening element is held in the clip body 40 with play, but in a captive manner. The frames 43, 44 are substantially arranged at right angles to the longitudinal axis LA, which is why the orientation of the two protrusions 35, 36 is also oriented along the axis LA.
