  • bracket 40 is adjustable in a plane that is transverse to the axis 22, 23, as long as the arrangement is not yet by Connecting means 20, 21 is fixed or has reached a positive connection, as a result of which the frictional forces in the event of a lateral movement of the holding bracket 40 with respect to the spacer element 30, 31 or the carrier 10 prevent further lateral movement and thus achieve a first adjustment.
  • An acting force 81 is transmitted from the spacer elements 30, 31 to the microbeads 50 and the microbeads 50 burst from a predetermined strength of the force. It is clear that the microbeads 50 which are located on the end faces of the spacer element 30, 31 are more likely to burst. Due to the compression of the spacer elements 30, 31 by the acting force 81, however, it is also possible that the spacer elements 30, 31 expand laterally and thus also micro beads 50 located on the side burst and the adhesive 51 can escape. This effect can be improved, for example, in that the spacer elements 30, 31 each have a tapered shape of a truncated cone on their outer surfaces, and the lateral microbeads 51 are thus increasingly exposed to the pressing force.
  • the adhesive 51 is known from the technique of thread locking by gluing. Microencapsulated adhesives are a dry, non-slip, paint-like coating. The adhesive begins to harden immediately after the casing has been broken open. Since today's products are fast curing systems, measurable results are achieved after only 10-15 minutes. The curing is completely finished after 24 hours, but can be accelerated by applying temperature. After curing, the desired fixing or securing effect is completely achieved, and an additional sealing effect is achieved at the same time.
