METHOD FOR INJECTION MOLDED RIVET STYLE FASTENER AND HOUSING WITH SNAP ASSEMBLY FUNCTIONALITY ALONG WITH AN INJECTION MOLDING PROCESS FOR PRODUCING SUCH A RIVET WITHOUT AN UNDERCUT FEATURE
A method for producing and installing a fastener, including the steps of forming an engaging portion having a projecting stem which is interiorly hollowed over at least an intermediate extending range, the stem including a solid end most extending portion, and forming a receiving portion having a surface, within which is configured an inner rim defined edge, a diameter of an aperture between said rim edge being less than a diameter of the stem. Additional steps include pressing the solid end most extending portion of the engaging portion through the inner rim edge of the receiving portion and aligning with the inner rim edge a location of the interiorly hollowed portion of the stem, causing inward collapsing of the aligned location by the rim edge to secure the engaging portion to the receiving portion.
SIDE-BY-SIDE VEHICLE
The present invention relates to all terrain vehicles having at least a pair of laterally spaced apart seating surfaces.
RETENTION PUSH PIN FOR TEMPORARY MOUNTING IN VEHICLES
Push pins and methods of use are provided. The push pin may be used for temporary mounting on a surface. The push pin may comprise a head, a pin tip adjacent to the head, and a rib protruding from the pin tip and disposed about the exterior profile of the pin tip; wherein the rib comprises a compressible material. The method comprises inserting the pin tip of the push pin into a film opening; wherein the pin tip of the push pin is inserted into the film opening past the rib of the push pin; and inserting the pin tip of the push pin into a surface opening; wherein the pin tip of the push pin is inserted into the surface opening past the rib of the push pin; wherein the head of the push pin is not inserted past the film opening or the surface opening.
PLUG FOR UPPER COUPLER OF TRAILER
A plug for insertion into a through hole of a king pin coupler plate of a trailer includes a body defining an axial direction and having an outer surface defining a perimeter with a distance around the perimeter. A plurality of pliable ears extend from the outer surface. The ears are each individually aligned in the axial direction. The ears each have a width that is less than ten percent of the distance around the perimeter of the outer surface of the body.
Side-by-side vehicle
The present invention relates to all terrain vehicles having at least a pair of laterally spaced apart seating surfaces.
Pin joint assembly
A pin joint assembly including: a first end lug and a second end lug; a pin hole extending through the first and second end lugs; a first retaining feature and a second retaining feature arrangeable at opposing ends of the pin hole; a headless pin including a pin body for inserting through the pin hole to rotatably couple the first and second end lugs, such that the pin body is retained between the first and second retaining features; a first bushing for positioning between the headless pin and the first end lug, and a second bushing for positioning between the headless pin and the second end lug; wherein the headless pin is isolated from the first and second retaining features.
Method of making nut fasteners
A fastener is provided. In another aspect, a fastener is made of layers of material, a light curable material and/or multiple built-up materials. Another aspect uses a three-dimensional printing machine to emit material from an ink jet printing head to build up a fastener.
MULTI-AXIS ALIGNMENT TOOL
