A system includes an attachment part and a holding element for holding the attachment part on a carrier part, the holding element having a threaded part connected to the attachment part and an internal thread for a holding screw, and a spacer part, the spacer part and the threaded part having interacting threads, the spacer part having a through opening flush with the internal thread of the threaded part when the spacer part is screwed to the threaded part, with the result that the carrier part can be held between a head of the holding screw and the spacer part, the threaded part having a holding section for holding the attachment part, the holding section having at least one latching element which interacts with at least one corresponding latching element of the attachment part for releasably latching the attachment part on the threaded part.

A license plate mounting bracket for vehicles having horizontal grilles A license plate mounting bracket for vehicles having mesh or horizontal grilles includes a license plate holder, a first L-shaped backing having a forward-facing horizontal portion and a vertical portion, the vertical portion including a plurality of vertically-aligned threaded holes, and a first male-to-female standoff including an axial threaded hole at a female end thereof, a shoulder, and a male threaded portion extending from the shoulder, the male threaded portion of the first male-to-female standoff engaging one of the vertically-aligned threaded holes in the first L-shaped backing. The shoulders of the first male-to-female standoff are coupled to the license plate holder.

A multi-plate coupling includes two connecting flanges and an intermediate member arranged between the connecting flanges. A plate pack crown is arranged between each of the connecting flanges and the intermediate member. The plate pack crown is alternately connected to the associated connecting flange and the intermediate member by screw fasteners which are guided through continuous fastening bores arranged in the plate pack crown. At least one of the fastening bores of the plate pack crown has a contour diverging from the circular shape. A positive-locking element having a corresponding outer contour is inserted into the fastening bore. A component bears on the outer contour of the positive-locking element in a positive-locking manner and provides a bending edge for the plate pack crown.

A device for fastening electrical wiring and the like to a support may include a tool with a bit, a housing, a central gear configured to be driven by the tool bit, two opposing planetary gears positioned to be driven by the central gear; and screws extending from the planetary gears. These planetary screws may have reverse threads so the central gear may be driven clockwise by a Philips head, flat head, Allen head or other bit configuration to advance the screws into the support. A clip may be used to center wiring between the screws and limit the depth to which the screws are driven into the support. The clip may be integral to the housing or integral standoffs may be provided to define a specific clearance between the housing and the support to prevent damage to the wiring.

An assembly with an aircraft fuel tank is disclosed having a captive nut with an internal thread, a secondary structure, and a fastener which secures the secondary structure to the fuel tank. The fastener has a shaft which passes through the secondary structure and has an external thread coupled to the internal thread of the captive nut. The fuel tank has a fuel tank element with a hole, and the captive nut has a sleeve which is located in the hole with an interference fit between an outer surface of the sleeve and an inner surface of the wall of the hole.
