Abstract

An elastic connecting block with which, by receiving a connecting pin, at least two components can be connected together via a respective component opening. The connecting block, which is formed as a single piece, comprises a central bearing block with two mutually opposing bearing surfaces for the components to be connected. A locking flange, which can be engaged in a component opening, is provided on the first bearing surface. On the other bearing surface, a widening flange is provided, which can be expanded by a spherical head of the connecting pin such that the widening flange is held via an axial undercut in the second component opening of the second component.
