Abstract: A fastening apparatus is provided for fastening components to bolts or to a bolt arranged on a carrier component. A connecting sleeve delimits a connecting space for receiving a bolt. A cup-shaped retaining cap delimits a receiving space for fastening a component, the connecting sleeve arranged in the receiving space. The retaining cap includes a latching device having at least one latching element, which, in a pre-assembly position, engages with a counter-latching edge of the connecting sleeve such that a displacement of the retaining cap in the axial direction away from the connecting sleeve is blocked, and a securing element with at least one securing tab, which, in the pre-assembly position, is arranged in a securing recess such that a displacement of the retaining cap in the axial direction towards the connecting sleeve is blocked.

Abstract: A window wash nozzle for a vehicle includes a housing in which a nozzle element is pivotably mounted about a pivot axis. Actuation of an adjustment element pivots the nozzle element. A sliding piece mounted in an axially displaceable manner in the housing interacts with the adjustment element such that actuation of the adjustment element brings about an axial displacement of the sliding piece. A guiding cam is formed on the sliding piece and interacts with a transmission element such that the transmission element is adjusted in a direction transversely with respect to the direction of movement of the sliding piece during axial displacement of the sliding piece. The transmission element acts on the nozzle element excentrically with respect to the pivot axis of the nozzle element such that an adjustment of the transmission element brings about pivoting of the nozzle element about the pivot axis.
