Rail fastening system (1) for fastening a rail (2) to a rail subsurface, preferably for a ballastless track, comprising a base plate (10), preferably made of a plastic, and at least one dowel (20), wherein the base plate (10) has at least one opening (15), which completely penetrates the base plate (10) in the thickness direction, and the dowel (20) is introduced into the opening (15), is held therein by means of a retaining contour and projects in the thickness direction at least on one side beyond the base plate (10).

A resilient fixing element for releasably connecting a skirting board with a floor covering, including a first arm located under the floor covering, a second arm located over the floor covering and to be engaged with the skirting board, a connecting face connecting the first arm with the second arm, and a resilient abutment element located in an internal space between the arms. The resilient abutment element is moveable between a first position in which it is constrained and blocked lying along the connecting face and a second position in which it is extended into the internal space. An engagement element is provided to block the abutment element in its first position and to release the abutment element into its second position. A skirting board fixing system includes a skirting board and the resilient fixing element as described, the skirting board consisting of a wall abutting covering arm and a floor abutting arm, the latter being engaged with the fixing element.

An aircraft assembly having a first body connected to a second body via a flexible coupling arranged to limit separation of the bearing faces while permitting relative rotational movement between the bodies in a movement plane so as to define a joint between the bodies.

A ceiling system in one embodiment includes an overhead support grid comprised of a plurality of intersecting grid support members and a ceiling tile mountable to the grid. Retaining clips support the ceiling tile from the grid which may be concealed from view. The retaining clips each include a cavity that receives a grid support member and a pair of resilient mounting elements configured to lockingly engage a support member. The mounting elements are laterally movable in response to inserting the support member into the cavity of the retaining clip. In one embodiment, the movable elements include locking tabs which create a snap-fit interlock with the grid support member for securing the ceiling tile to the grid.

A u-shaped metal portion and a u-shaped plastic portion can be coupled together to define an interior rib receiving cavity between both the metal sides and the plastic sides. The u-shaped metal portion can include a first metal rib retention barb extending interiorly of the plastic portion in the interior rib receiving cavity and can be designed to engage the rib to couple the dual material U-base fastener to a first component rib with the rib received within the interior rib receiving cavity. The u-shaped plastic portion can include a first plastic aperture retention wing extending exteriorly of the metal portion and designed to engage a second component aperture to couple the dual material U-base fastener to the aperture with the inner plastic and outer metal insertion ends extending through the aperture.

The present disclosure provides an edge clip assembly for attachment of a component, and, more specifically, to an edge clip assembly which is self-locking. The edge clip assembly includes a clip body and a spacer provided within the clip body, and further includes an interlock securing the spacer in a final position in which the clip body can be engaged with the component to hold the component under tension.

An aircraft assembly having a first body connected to a second body via a flexible coupling arranged to limit separation of the bearing faces while permitting relative rotational movement between the bodies in a movement plane so as to define a joint between the bodies.

Disclosed is a clamping element to clamp to a portion of an element. The clamping element has a housing with a receiving space, the housing having an opening that connects the outside of the housing with the receiving space, a clip arranged inside the housing, the clip having a first leg and a second leg arranged opposite each other, a bridge connecting the first leg and the second leg, the receiving space at least partially being arranged between the first leg and the second leg, wherein a force needs to be applied to move the first leg away from the second leg and in a pre-assembly state of the clip, which describes the position that the elements of the clip have prior to the portion of the element that is to be clamped having been introduced into the receiving space.

A clamp assembly includes a grommet with a non-circular aperture with a multiple of crush apertures defined at least partially around the non-circular aperture. A method of supporting a wiring harness within a clamp assembly for a gas turbine engine includes installing a wiring harness through a non-circular aperture with a multiple of crush apertures defined in an arc at least partially around a major axis of the non-circular aperture; and compressing the grommet to compress the multiple of crush apertures to retain the wiring harness within the non-circular aperture.

The invention relates to a device for holding a head of a pin of a component, said device having a receiving space which defines an opening via which the head of the pin can be inserted; a spring element disposed in the receiving space; and a path limiter which is disposed in the receiving space. The spring element has a receptacle for the head of the pin of the component, and the straight line which connects the geometric center point of the opening to the geometric center point of the receptacle forms a reference line. A curved or bent receiving section of a spring arm of the spring element is provided as part of the receptacle. The receiving section has at least one distance point which is arranged furthest from the reference line than other points along the extension of the curved or bent receiving section.
