Abstract

A device (1) for connecting first and second components (2, 3) which lie at a spacing from one another by clamping by a spacer (7), which is disposed in a spacing region, and a clamping piece (15) which clamps the two components (2, 3) with respect to one another, the securing actuation of the clamping piece (15) initially displacing the spacer (7) from a spaced position to a bearing position with respect to the second component (3) and then fixing the device to the first component (2) by clamping elements (13) which move into engagement against the wall of an insertion cavity (6) of the first component (2), wherein the spreading elements (13) are associated with the spacer (7).
