An inner housing defines a pin retaining receptacle elongated in an X-direction with entry ramps extending parallel to the X-direction. The inner housing is slidably coupled to an outer housing and extends into an interior thereof. Centering protrusions of one housing can engage the other housing to initially retain the pin retaining receptacle of the inner housing in a central position within the interior of the outer housing in the Y-direction prior to insertion of the pin into the pin retaining receptacle. The other housing can be movable against the centering protrusion to permit the pin retaining receptacle of the inner housing to move out of the central position in the Y-direction in response to engagement of the pin against the entry ramps during insertion of the pin into the pin retaining receptacle.

A fastener, for fixing a sheet component, includes a body with a pair of resiliently deformable arms arranged to extend through an opening in the sheet component during use, and a pin rotatably mounted within the body and including a pair of locking legs, the pin being rotatable between: (i) an unlocked position, in which the retaining arms are deformable to pass through the opening in the sheet component, and (ii) a locked position, in which the locking legs engage the retaining arms to restrict deformation of the retaining arms and secure the fastener to the sheet component.

A fastener assembly includes a head unit, a fastening part allowing a lower end of the head unit to be coupled thereto, and a fixing part allowing an upper end of the head unit to be inserted thereinto. The head unit includes a head part inserted into an insertion hole of the fixing part, and a guide part configured to be inserted into a longitudinal hole formed in the fastening part and to be in contact with a rear surface of the fastening part, the guide part being configured to be inserted into the longitudinal hole and be rotated such that the head unit is coupled to the fastening part.

A fastening apparatus includes an annular base element having an assembly wall for abutting a first component and a first fastening wall for abutting the second component, and an assembly element having a bottom wall. To enable passage through a second through-opening of the second component, the assembly element has a smaller diameter than the base element. At least two diametrically opposed foldable retaining arms are arranged radially circumferentially and connect the assembly wall to the assembly element. The retaining arms are each connected to the assembly element and the base element via a respective joint and form an articulated joint in the region between the joints. A region of the retaining arms between the articulated joints and the assembly wall forms a fastening portion, and at least one catching device is provided to connect the base element to the assembly element in an assembly position.

In some examples, a housing for an electronic device includes a first housing panel having a plurality of spring-loaded clips, a second housing panel having a plurality of pockets to receive the plurality of spring-loaded clips, and a first fastener on the first housing panel to slidingly engage a second fastener on the second housing panel after the plurality of spring-loaded clips are received in the plurality of pockets.

An edge protector (100) is configured to secure onto an edge of a component. The edge protector includes a main shrouding body (102) that includes a first wall (104) connected to a second wall (106) by a connecting wall (108). An open-ended passage (110) is defined between the first wall, the second wall, and the connecting wall. A first securing clamp (112) extends inwardly into the passage from the first wall. A second securing clamp (116) that opposes the first securing clamp extends inwardly into the passage from the second wall. The first securing clamp and the second securing clamp are configured to securely clamp onto a portion of the component. The edge protector may also include at least one cutout (122) formed in at least one of the first wall or the second wall.

A fastening assembly suitable for being fastened to a substrate with a front face and a first hole. The fastening assembly includes a fastening plate with a second plate with front and rear faces and pierced with a second hole aligned with the first hole. The fastening plate front face is fastened to the substrate rear face. The assembly includes a nut holder with a third plate with front and rear faces and pierced with a third hole aligned with the second hole and a nut fastened to the third plate on the side of the rear face and coaxial with the third hole. The front face of the nut holder is fastened to the rear face of the fastening plate. The fastening plate includes a first fastener that engages with a second fastener of the nut holder to removably fasten the nut holder to the fastening plate.
