A method for the connection of a first component to a second component includes providing a first component which has a projection with an undercut, and providing a second component which has a cavity. The method also includes introducing a sealing and/or connecting material into the cavity of the second component, and joining the first component and the second component together to form a component arrangement. The projection of the first component projects, in the joined state, into the cavity of the second component.

The present invention is a part positioning mechanism configured to insert a protruding portion constituting a part of a second sheet metal part into an opening formed in a first sheet metal part. The first contact portion which contacts the first convex portion of the first sheet metal and the second contact portion which contacts the second convex portion of the first sheet metal are disposed to be shifted in an orthogonal direction which intersects orthogonally with the plate thickness direction and an insertion direction for the protruding portion. The edge of the opening of the first sheet metal part has a first edge which is distant from the protruding portion increases from the first convex portion to the second convex portion, and a second edge which is distant from the protruding portion increases from the second convex portion to the first convex portion.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a connection system with a projection on a first connector and a cooperating cavity on a second connector to provide push-through connection of the connectors in first and second configurations in which the projection extends to first and second depths respectively within the cavity, wherein one or more of the projection or cavity is movable in two dimensions perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the projection when received in the cavity, wherein the first and second connectors have cooperating locking surfaces arranged to engage each other when the projection is received at the second depth to prevent said movement in two dimensions and wherein the cooperating locking surfaces do not engage each other so as to prevent said movement in two dimensions when the projection is received at the first depth in the receiving cavity.

An electrical connector including a mounting flange defining a mounting hole extending therethrough that is configured to receive a threaded fastener and a deformable crush rib extending from the mount flange and surrounding the mounting hole is presented herein. A method of assembling an electrical connector to a panel including the steps of inserting a fastener within a mounting hole of a mounting flange defining the mounting hole extending therethrough and a crush rib surrounding the mounting hole, applying a clamping force to the mounting flange via the fastener, and deforming the crush rib via the clamping force applied by the fastener such that the deformed crush rib at least partially fills a gap between an inner wall of the mounting hole and the fastener is also presented herein.

A heat exchanger includes a casing configured to direct a working fluid therethrough, and at least one heat exchanger (HE) section in the casing. Each HE section includes a pair of spaced supports. The spaced supports include: an upstream support and a downstream support with at least one of them including a coolant carrying body configured to direct a coolant therethrough. A first cross-support couples to and extends between respective upstream and downstream supports; and at least one second cross-support couples to and extends between the respective upstream and downstream supports. Cross-supports are vertically distanced from adjacent cross-supports. A plurality of tube positioners coupled to each cross-support position a plurality of heat exchange tubes extending across a working fluid path through the casing. The tube positioners and the cooling of the cross-supports allows ferritic material to be used for once-through, duct-fired HRSGs.

A wiper motor mounting structure of a vehicle, as a structure for assembling a vehicle wiper motor and a vehicle body panel, includes: a motor mounting bracket; and a fixing member fixing the motor mounting bracket to a vehicle body panel, wherein the motor mounting bracket includes a plurality of mounting portions, one of the plurality of mounting portions is fixed to the vehicle body panel by a screw and the other ones of the plurality of mounting portions are fixed to the vehicle body panel by an assembly pin capable of one-touch push assembly.

Disclosed is an elastic fastener assembly for fastening objects to gap between the car window and the trim panel. The elastic fastener assembly includes an elastic fastener having a first piece for supporting the elastic fastener assembly and a second piece serving as a fastener of the elastic fastener assembly. The second piece has an opening provided with a flange for allowing the elastic fastener to be inserted in a gap between a trim panel and a car window glass to securely fasten the elastic fastener assembly to an inner side of the trim panel. The elastic fastener assembly includes an object jointer for jointing objects. The neck of the object jointer is spaced apart from the flange by a distance longer than the thickness of the trim panel, thereby ensuring the elastic fastener assembly to be fastened to the inner side of the trim panel during the installation process.
