ABSTRACT:
A device (1) for holding two structural parts in a spaced relationship with respect to each other, having a spacer for filling the distance between the two structural parts, which spacer has a support part (2) which can be brought into a position fixed in rotation with respect to the second structural part (7) and a rotary drive part (3) which can be displaced axially with respect to the support part (2) by rotation. The support part (2) and rotary drive part (3) rest on a helical engagement surface (14, 17) which has a slope which is opposite the slope of a thread of a screw (11) which, upon being screwed into an axial opening (15) in the rotary drive part (3) carries the latter therealong. An engagement surface (17) of the rotary drive part (3) continues into a rubber bumper (18) which extends beyond the screw (11) in axial direction, in particular for supporting an engine hood, a trunk door, or the like of a motor vehicle in a closed position of the engine hood with the engine hood flush with the adjoining parts of the body.
