Cable mounting clamps
A cable assembly includes a cable and a cable mounting clamp. The cable mounting clamp includes a base removably connectable to a surface. The base includes an outer body which defines an inner channel and a support ramp disposed within the inner channel, the inner channel extending along a longitudinal axis. The cable mounting clamp further includes a roller tube disposed within the inner channel and moveably mounted on the support ramp, the roller tube translatable along the longitudinal axis relative to the support ramp. The cable is inserted through the roller tube and extends through the inner channel, such that the cable is translatable with the roller tube along the longitudinal axis.
PUSH THROUGH RETAINER CONNECTION WITH INTEGRATED HINGING SEAL
A press-in retainer is configured to join a surface element to a support structure that has an acceptance opening. The press-in retainer includes a retainer head including a collar, a platform, and a neck disposed between the collar and the platform. The retainer head is configured for placement into a channel defined by the surface element. A seal is disposed about a perimeter of the collar and includes a main body and a sealing foot. The sealing foot is connected to the main body by a living hinge extending along a perimeter of the main body and is disposed entirely outboard from the collar. A clip portion extends from the collar of the retainer head. The clip portion is configured for insertion into the acceptance opening of the support structure and includes two or more wing elements.

VENTILATION STRUCTURE
A ventilation structure (1a) includes a housing (10a) and a ventilation component (20a). The housing (10a) has a first surface (12) defining a lateral surface of a columnar space (11c) in an attachment hole (11). The ventilation component (20a) is attached to the housing (10a) to close the attachment hole (11). The ventilation component (20a) has a ventilation path (21) between an inner space (15u) of the housing (10a) and an outer space (15s) of the housing (10a). The ventilation component (20a) includes a supporting portion (23), a gas-permeable membrane (22), a protruding portion (24), and a sealing member (25). The supporting portion (23) surrounds the ventilation path (21) in plan view. The protruding portion (24) protrudes from the supporting portion (23) toward the inner space (15u) of the housing (10a), and is inserted into the attachment hole (11). The sealing member (25) is disposed on an outer periphery of the protruding portion (24), and seals a gap between the first surface (12) and the protruding portion (24).
WIRING MEMBER
An object is to provide a technique that can stabilize the positional relationship between a plurality of wires while enabling a wire to be attached afterwards. A wiring member includes a plurality of wires and a holding member for holding the plurality of wires. The plurality of wires include a power line and a communication line that extend in the same direction. The holding member includes a plurality of wire holding portions that each can hold a wire at a fixed position. The power line is held by a first wire holding portion of the plurality of wire holding portions. The communication line is held by a second wire holding portion of the plurality of wire holding portions. At least one of the plurality of wire holding portions is formed to be capable of retrofittably holding the wire.
WIRE HARNESS FIXING MEMBER
A wire harness fixing member that can easily accommodate dimensional error of a fixing target portion of a vehicle body is provided. A bracket (10), which is one aspect of the wire harness fixing member, includes a first fixing portion (16), a second fixing portion (23), and a rotation member (12) that is rotatably provided, and the second fixing portion (23) is provided on the rotation member (12). A rotation axis (L1) of the rotation member (12) is set so as to be orthogonal to an assembling direction (X axis direction) of the second fixing portion (23) and the height direction (Z axis direction) of the bracket (10). The distance between the second fixing portion (23) and the first fixing portion (16) changes as the rotation member (12) rotates about the rotation axis (L1).
WASHER APPLIANCE WITH REMOVABLE AGITATOR POST USING LATCHES AND TORQUE TRANSMITTING SHAPE
A washer appliance includes an impeller and impeller interface. An agitator post is removably positioned upon the impeller interface. A plurality of latches are supported by the agitator post and spaced apart circumferentially. Each latch may be configured for pivoting in and out of one of a plurality of latch recesses provided by the impeller interface when the agitator post is positioned on the impeller interface. Biasing members urge the latch into the latch recesses when the agitator post is positioned on the impeller interface.
