Retaining device

Abstract

An inventive retaining device which can be adjusted in three spatial directions, in particular for fastening a first component to a second component, includes a first plate, which can be fixedly connected to the second component, as well as a second plate, which can be adjusted in a first spatial direction relative to the first plate, and a third plate, which can be adjusted in a second spatial direction relative to the second plate and a centering pin, which can be fixedly connected to the first component and can be adjusted in a third spatial direction relative to the third plate. The inventive retaining device allows a particularly flexible regulation of tolerances and facilitates an assembly and/or disassembly of the components.

1 .- 18 . (canceled) 
   
   
       19 . A retaining device adjustable in three spatial directions for fastening a first component to a second component, comprising:
 a first plate that is fixedly connected to the second component;   a second plate that is adjusted relative to the first plate in a first spatial direction;   a third plate that is adjusted relative to the second plate in a second spatial direction; and   a centering pin that is fixedly connected to the first component and adjusted relative to the third plate in a third spatial direction.   
   
   
       20 . The retaining device as claimed in  claim 19 , wherein the three spatial directions are perpendicular to one another. 
   
   
       21 . The retaining device as claimed in  claim 19 , wherein the first plate, the second plate, and the third plate are parallel to one another. 
   
   
       22 . The retaining device as claimed in  claim 19 , wherein the first plate comprises a long hole that is aligned in the first spatial direction for adjustably fastening the first plate to the second plate. 
   
   
       23 . The retaining device as claimed in  claim 19 , wherein the first plate comprises a first recess for plugging the centering pin that is functioned in the three spatial directions. 
   
   
       24 . The retaining device as claimed in  claim 23 , wherein the second plate is detachable fixable to the third plate by a fastening device. 
   
   
       25 . The retaining device as claimed in  claim 24 , wherein the first plate comprises a second recess for plugging the fastening device that is functioned in the first and the second spatial directions. 
   
   
       26 . The retaining device as claimed in  claim 25 , wherein the first recess and the second recess of the first plate are a single recess. 
   
   
       27 . The retaining device as claimed in  claim 19 , wherein the first plate comprises a counter bearing for retaining an adjusting device to facilitate a readjustment of the second plate to the first plate in the first spatial direction. 
   
   
       28 . The retaining device as claimed in  claim 19 , wherein the second plate comprises a long hole that is aligned in the second spatial direction for adjustably fastening the second plate to the third plate. 
   
   
       29 . The retaining device as claimed in  claim 19 , wherein the second plate comprises a recess for plugging the centering pin that is functioned in the three spatial directions. 
   
   
       30 . The retaining device as claimed in  claim 19 , wherein the third plate comprises a first recess for plugging the centering pin that is functioned in the three spatial directions. 
   
   
       31 . The retaining device as claimed in  claim 30 , wherein the first plate is detachably fixable to the second plate by a fastening device 
   
   
       32 . The retaining device as claimed in  claim 31 , wherein the third plate comprises a second recess for plugging the fastening means that is functioned in the second spatial direction. 
   
   
       33 . The retaining device as claimed in  claim 32 , wherein the first recess of the third plate comprises a depression for mounting the centering pin on a side facing the first component. 
   
   
       34 . The retaining device as claimed in  claim 19 , wherein the centering pin is adjustable in the third spatial direction by a fastening device that is arranged in the third spatial direction in front of and behind the third plate. 
   
   
       35 . The retaining device as claimed in  claim 19 , wherein the centering pin comprises a centering cone on an end facing the first component. 
   
   
       36 . The retaining device as claimed in  claim 19 , wherein the centering pin comprises an indentation for securely locking in the third plate.
