• riveted joints in which instead of a screw a rivet through the aligned through holes in the two components to be connected pushed through and then stowed.
• the rivet itself has a rivet head at one of its ends, which fixes the rivet on one side of a component due to its broadening in relation to the rivet shank and the component openings.
• the compression is also at the other end of the rivet created a broadening, which will be summarized here as below also under rivet head.
• Riveting and screwed connections are herkörran- hicher way, in particular for the connection of components made of metal, in particular sheet metal used.
• Object of the present invention is to provide a rivet or screw connection available, which ensures a good Krafteinleltung at the same time high rigidity of the attachment point.
• connection is now further developed according to the invention in that at least the first component in the region of the connection has a cup-shaped recess in the direction of the second component. in which the rivet or screw opening is arranged, the pot has one

• a cup-shaped depression can, if viewed from the other side of the first component, also be referred to as a dome-shaped elevation, the opening being arranged in the roof of the dome.
• the pot-like depression or dome-like elevation results in a 3D structure through which a
• a distance arises, which corresponds to the depth of the pot-like depression. If, for example, seals are arranged between the first component and the second component, for example as a ring seal around the cup-like depression, then the height of the pot-like depression can be set so that the depression acts as a stopper (spacer holder) and the compression the seal when fastening the two components limi ⁇ Tiert together. This makes it possible to compress the corresponding seal within its elastic range, so that a reliable seal is achieved.
• the compound of the invention is very quick and easy to assemble and has a low weight.
• in comparison to previously prevailing in the plastic sector screw connections results in a considerably simplified assembly Verwen ⁇ tion of a riveted joint according to the present Er ⁇ invention.
• the compounds according to the invention are sufficiently waterproof so that they can compete with previous compounds in all respects.
• the compound according to the invention is used in particular for connecting at least one first component made of plastic to a second component, which may be made of metal or likewise of plastic or may contain plastic.
• a second component which may be made of metal or likewise of plastic or may contain plastic.
• the bottom of the recess relative to the remaining first component can be made reinforced.
• this material thickness is increased only in the region of the bottom of the depression, while the material thickness in the remaining region of the first component can be kept low.
• the transferable forces are thereby no longer limited, so that vibrations of the first component are suppressed and cracks in the first component can be avoided.
• the compound of the invention is very stable even with strong mechanical effects, such as in the case of a collision of a vehicle with such compounds on an object.
• a particularly advantageous connection results when the wall of the pot-like depression has no circular cross-section, but is carried out, for example, in star geometry.
• the radius of the circumference of the wall is periodically varied along the circumference, so that bulges and indentations of the wall result.
• connection surface is achieved in the the same size a multiple, for example, one and a half times, a circular wall ent speaks.
• the contact path for the introduction of forces into the connection from the first component thus increases considerably, so that far greater forces can be transmitted.
• connection can not only have a pot-like depression for the first component, but also the second component can be designed in a corresponding manner.
• connection according to the invention is used, in particular, for fastening functional modules, for example windows or dividing walls between the dry side and the wet side in motor vehicles, in particular for fastening door modules to inner door panels.

• FIG 3 shows a plan view of a first component with a rivet connection according to the invention.
• FIG. 1 shows the cross section through a rivet connection 1 for connecting a first component 2 to a second component 3.
• the two components 2 and 3 have passage openings (rivet openings) 4 and 5 arranged in alignment with each other through these rivets Openings 4 and 5, a rivet 6 is inserted, which abuts with its Nietköpf 8 on the side facing away from the connection of the component 2 and so determines the component 2 in its position.
• the rivet is shown in unbestauchem state, so that the second widening on the side facing away from the connection of the component 3 is not visible.
• Such broadening can also be referred to as rivet head corresponding to the rivet head 8.
• the rivet 6 thus penetrates with its rivet shank 7 the first opening 4 and the second opening 5, wherein in the present example the axis 13 of the rivet shaft 7 is perpendicular to the connecting surface between the components 2 and 3.
• the component 2 has a pot-like recess 10, of the component 2 only with this Ver depression 10 is shown.
• the component 2 extends laterally from the upper edge of this pot-like recess 10, this extension not being shown further, but being shown for example in FIG.
• the pot-like recess 10 has a wall 11, which rotates conically around the axis 13. Of this recess 10 is shown in cross-section of Figure 1, only a half-shell.
• the depression 10 has a flat, flat bottom 12, which rests flat against the component 3 which is also flat in the region of the rivet connection and defines the connection surface.
• the wall 11 is corrugated so that it has recesses 15 and indentations 16.
• the cross section of the wall in a plane perpendicular to the axis 13 thus has a star-shaped, flower-shaped or sand cake-shaped form.
• the length of the wall 11 in cross section is substantially larger than in a nikrun ⁇ the cross section.
• this length is greater by a factor of 1.8 than in the case of a circular cross-section, so that a contact distance between the bottom 12 of the depression and thus of the rivet 6 and the remainder of the recess, not shown here, increases by a factor of 1.8 Component 1 results.
• the introduction of force from the component into the rivet and vice versa is therefore considerably improved.

• the wall 11 in turn has bulges 15 and indentations 16, so that a star-shaped cross-section of the wall 11 results.
• the door module 2 extends from the edge 12 facing away from the bottom of the wall 11 laterally and parallel to the flat bottom 12 to the outside. In this area are then theforensicsele ⁇ elements of the door module 2, for example, the Lautspre ⁇ cherelement 3 or a window, mounted.
• the rivet is replaced by a screw and a nut, the nut itself being able to be welded or otherwise fastened to the door inner panel.
• the invention has the advantage that it is easy and inexpensive to produce even in mass production.
• the pot-like depression is particularly favorable injection molding technology.

• the shapes of the wall which have a circumferentially variable shape (for example, star shape), are easy to produce even in a stamping or embossing process, without causing local overstressing of Materi ⁇ than.
• the invention is particularly versatile in the automotive field.
• an advantageous embodiment can provide that both the first and the second component have corresponding cup-shaped recesses which are shaped to be complementary to one another. On the one hand this facilitates the positioning, on the other hand an even better stiffening is achieved (a counter-form for achieving a better positioning, however, is not absolutely necessary since-at least in the case of door modules-a locator system (RPS ) is usually used).
