Device for connecting two elements and a structure with the device

The device has a holding part for connection a connecting element to a supporting element provided to accept the connecting element, which has a shaft and a plate element, which are connected by a spring element so that these can move relatively to each other transverse to the axial direction of the connecting device against a spring force. The mounting device has a guide channel running from an edge position and a latching position for the shaft. A guide device for the plate element is provide so the shaft can be inserted into the latching position and centered by means of the spring element. The direction of the extension of the center line of the guide path at the inlet into the latching position runs offset with respect to the center line of the guide path of the guide of the plate element.. An independent claim is also included a component with an inventive device.
