Mounting element, mounting tool, and mounting-set
First Claim
1. A mounting element configured to fit into a through-hole in a surface in order to secure an airbag to a motor vehicle by contacting both sides of the surface, the mounting element comprising:
- an essentially rectangular base plate with four sides, wherein two first arms extend from a first pair of opposing sides of said base plate facing each other, both first arms have a first contact section having a first surface substantially parallel to the base plate and located a first distance from the base plate, two second arms extend from a second pair of opposing sides of said base plate facing each other, both second arms have a second contact section having a second surface substantially parallel to the base plate and located a second distance from the base plate, said second distance being larger than the first distance, whereby at least the first arms extend from the base plate to their first contact section such that their distance from one another increases.

Abstract
A mounting element having an essentially rectangular base plate with four edges from which two first arms extend and face each other. The first arms have a first contact section a first distance from the base plate. At least two second arms also face each other, which exhibit a second contact section a second distance from the base plate which is greater than the first distance. At least the first arms extend to their first contact section from the base plate in such a way that their distance from each other increases. In order to achieve an improved retaining effect, one arm extends from each edge of the base plate so that the base plate and arms surround an inner space.
