Original Abstract Submitted
an attachment arrangement includes a plastic flange connected to a component to be attached and has a through-opening, and having an attachment screw, the threaded shank of which passes through the through-opening of the plastic flange and is screwed into a threaded hole at the installation location. an elastic constriction is formed in a region of the through opening facing the threaded hole, the inner spacing of which constriction is smaller than an outer diameter of the threaded shank of the attachment screw. the threaded shank plastically and elastically deforms the elastic material of the constriction during the screwing-in process, such that, when the attachment screw is screwed in, a frictional connection is formed between threads of the threaded shank and the remaining elastic material of the constriction, which frictional connection acts to prevent the attachment screw from loosening. a sensor arrangement having such an attachment arrangement is described.
