An adapter for mounting a cable hanger on a mounting structure includes a body having a base and a neck, the base having a hollow cavity and including a mounting hole with an overhanging rim, the neck including a threaded bore, the adapter being formed of a polymeric material.

A tolerance compensation device includes a base device having a tubular fastening portion that includes an internal, right-hand thread for receiving a screw-like fastening element. A tubular connecting portion, for connecting to a compensation structure, has an outer jacket wall that includes an external thread for connecting to a compensation structure, and a compensation structure having a flange-like setting element. An inner jacket wall of the setting element includes a threading configured to correspond to the external thread, and a socket-like anti-rotation element is disposed in a through-opening of the setting element, and an outer jacket wall of the anti-rotation element is connected to an inner jacket wall of the tubular connecting portion in a non-rotatable manner. The compensation structure is configured for presetting a distance in axial direction between the base device and a contact wall of the compensation structure extending orthogonally to the axial direction.

A self-tapping screw made of synthetic material has a threaded shank defining a screw center line. The screw has proximal and distal insertion ends, the shank including first and second portions, the second proximal to the first. The pitch is the same in the first and second portions, and has a complete thread cross-section in the second portion. In the first portion, in the direction of the thread, the thread is divided into segments having an incomplete thread cross-section, the thread segments having leading end and trailing ends. The leading end of one thread segment extends further radially than the leading end of the thread segment preceding it and forms a cutting edge. In most of the thread segments the thread top in question, for substantially its full length, starting with the leading end, considered in thread direction, is situated at a constant radial distance from the center line.

A microprocessor heat sink fastener, comprising a nut comprising a thermoplastic material and fibrous fill particles and a bore extending along an axis of the nut. The bore has internal threads. The internal threads comprise a surface. At least one of the fibrous fill particles has first and second ends extending from the surface into a sub-surface region.

There is provided a lock mechanism for an adjustable rod. The lock mechanism provides a manually locking state and an automatic locking state. The automatic locking state provides a more secure locking engagement than the manual locking state. There is also provided improved end cap systems that minimize the number of components.

The presently disclosed subject matter generally relates to vehicle fastening systems that include head bolts. The disclosed head bolts are adapted to be used in internal combustion engines in a wide variety of vehicles. Specifically, the disclosed head bolts are used to fasten an engine's cylinder head to the engine block housing the pistons. Advantageously, the disclosed head bolt is constructed from carbon fiber material, providing several advantages over prior art fasteners. For example, the head bolt is lightweight, temperature resistant, and exhibits increased strength when compared to conventional head bolts constructed from steel and other metals.

A method of forming a ceramic matrix composite (CMC) fastener, the method comprising: shaping a preform to form a green fastener; applying one or more layers to an outer surface of the green fastener to form a layered green fastener; and finishing the layered green fastener to form the CMC fastener.

A fastener system including a nut body and a helical thread insert. The nut body having an internally threaded bore containing a plurality of bore threads, and at least one bore obstruction. The helical thread insert formed to create a plurality of internal HTI threads and a plurality of external HTI threads, with the helical thread insert received in the internally threaded bore and not occupying all of the plurality of bore threads, and having its movement limited by the bore obstruction. The helical thread insert having threads with both circular end profiles and a non-circular end profile. The non-circular end profile including at least three straight segments, and located between circular threads.

The disclosure relates to a lining arrangement for wear protection comprising: at least one lining element arranged to be fastened to a support structure; and at least one device, the device comprising: a first element adapted to be received in a through hole of said at least one lining element or a through hole created by adjacent lining elements, the first element having an axially arranged opening; a second element for engagement with the first element, such that the at least one lining element is attached to the support structure upon interconnection between the first element and the second element, and wherein an outer periphery of the second element comprises a plurality of grooves for engagement with a handling tool. The disclosure further relates to a method for fastening lining elements to a support structure.

Push nuts for cars, comprising a head having a member contact surface formed protruding in left and right sides, and having a fastening hole formed penetrating at the center; and a body having formed penetrating at the center, a fastening hole having the same inner diameter and center as the fastening hole which is formed at the head, characterized in that the body and the head are connected to a connecting bridge that elastic deformation is performed outwards, and the head and the body connected with the connecting bridge respectively have a head axial force support and a body axial force support formed protruding toward a space, the head axial force support and the body axial force support having fastening holes having the same center as the fastening holes respectively formed penetrating.
