Abstract

A fastening mechanism for mounting operating equipment or the like, particularly on electric household equipment has bayonet catch-like tension members for engaging in a panel. Each tension member can have in a slightly resiliently movable region on one side, a shoulder surface for the inclined supporting on the outside of the panel and on the other side can have a wedge surface for the self-cutting engagement in a boundary edge of a passage opening of the panel. Accompanied by self-compensating position adaptation, the tension member is not only braced with the shoulder surface under pretension against the outside of the panel, but is also wedged at right angles thereto in the passage opening.
