Abstract

The invention relates to an alignment device for precisely positioning a first functional element (103), particularly a retainer, on a second functional element (105), particularly a disc, these being detachably secured to each other. In the secured state (FZ), (a) at least one alignment element (115) is secured in a housing depression (117) of the first functional element (103) or the second functional element (105) by means of at least one securing element (131); (b) the alignment element (115) is connected to the first functional element (103) by means of at least one securing surface (119) and is in contact with a support surface (123) of said second functional element (105) by means of at least one contact surface (121); (c) a pre-tensioning device (125) acts between said contact surface (121) and support surface (123) and exerts a returning force, for returning to a starting position, onto the contact surface (121) and support surface (123) which are set one towards the other; and (d) the alignment element (115) is arranged laterally sunk into the housing depression (117), said contact surfaces (121) protruding above the lower side (133) of the first functional element (103). The invention is characterized in that in said secured state (FZ), the securing element (131) in question is arranged so as to be accessible from outside for the purpose of carrying out securing and/or justification processes, and in that the contact surface (121) is provided on a protruding body section (169) in the form of a block-shaped alignment element (115) engagement section. The invention also relates to an alignment element for such an alignment device, and to an alignment method.
