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.

In one example, a vehicle seat includes a non-woven and a J-clip, wherein the non-woven is secured to the J-clip to define a single component. The vehicle seat includes a trim cover attached to the non-woven, and the J-clip is attached to a cushion frame to attach the trim cover to the cushion frame.

An adjustable support system has a base bracket member, a clip member, and an outer bracket. The base bracket member has a first end wall that overlays a substrate, a body wall extending outwardly therefrom and a second end wall opposite the first end wall. The clip member has a base bracket member coupling, and a projecting arm. The base bracket member coupling is attached to the first end wall and overlies a portion of the body wall. The projecting arm is spaceable apart from the body wall. The outer bracket has a spanning wall with inner and outer sides. An outer end wall extends from the outer side. The spanning wall is slidably positionable between the body wall of the base bracket member and the at least one clip member, to sandwich the same. Wall assemblies and methods are likewise disclosed.

A vehicle seat includes a pad having an air passage, a skin material, and a skin locking clip embedded in the pad and configured to tuck in a prescribed linear portion of the skin material. The pad includes a main body member in which the skin locking clip is embedded, an intermediate layer member arranged on the main body member, and a surface layer member arranged on the intermediate layer member. The main body member includes a linear bulging portion extending along the linear portion and bulging so as to define a plane substantially identical to a surface of the surface layer member, and the skin material is tucked in by the skin locking clip at a portion extending further from the surface layer member than the linear bulging portion.

A bracket for supporting a plurality of vertically extending supports is provided. The bracket has an outer housing and an internal support. The internal support is receivable within the outer housing, and the outer housing and the internal support together define a plurality of channels. Each one of the plurality of channels is shaped and configured to receive a free end of a corresponding one of the plurality of vertically extending supports.

The invention comprises a scalable and foldable multipurpose frame structure configured with a generally flat-roof as a worksite and a peaked-roof as a recreational canopy, a cover retaining system and a ventilation system. The frame structure comprises a plurality of foldable wall trusses connecting a plurality of upright telescopic posts transversely forming a wall frame structure and a closed loop geometric footprint, a plurality of foldable roof trusses connecting a centrally disposed roof assembly to either the telescopic posts or the wall trusses transversely forming the roof. The cover retaining system comprises various spring clips for known-size frame members, and various clamps for unknown-size frame members, to secure roof and wall cover to the frame structure. The ventilation system comprises an enclosure that can utilize standard furnace air filters and existing air circulation devices. Multiple frame structures can be linked together to scale up space.

Provided is a fixing member which is used for fixing a component to a target member. The fixing member includes two holding portions, a joining portion, and a projecting portion. The two holding portions are configured to hold the target member from both sides. The joining portion connects two first ends of the two holding portions. The projecting portion protrudes from the joining portion toward an opening between two second ends of the two holding portions. The two second ends are opposite the two first ends of the two holding portions. The projecting portion has an end close to the opening, and the end protrudes further than at least one of the two second ends of the two holding portions in a direction where the projecting portion protrudes from the joining portion.
