Disclosed are systems and methods for coupling a first component to a second component via an integrated fastener. The component assembly comprising a first component having a first surface and a second surface. An integrated fastener extending from the second surface and configured to attach the first component adjacent to the second component. The wherein the first component and the integrated fastener are formed as a unitary structure using, for example, an additive manufacturing process. The integrated fastener can comprise a clip assembly with one or more retention features extending outwardly from the integrated fastener at an end opposite the first component.

A coupling mechanism for a utility system is provided, the coupling mechanism coupling an object with a modular system, such as a modular storage system. The coupling mechanism includes arms that extend from a projection. The arms are configured to engage under ribs within the modular system, such as the modular storage system.

A fastener includes a body, a fastener head having a flange extend radially outward from the body, and a plurality of shoulders that extend outwardly from the body. The body also includes a finger that extends from one end of each of the shoulders. The body further includes a plurality of cutouts positioned on the body between the shoulders. The body is flexible along the cutouts. The fingers are also flexible and cooperate with a plurality of locking features of a first component to sufficiently hold the first component and a second component between the fingers and the flange.

A connection stabilizing mechanism between a solid tire and a bicycle rim. The connection stabilizing mechanism includes multiple fastening members connecting a solid tire with a bicycle rim. Each of the fastening members has a plate-shaped base section engaged with the bicycle rim and an extension section inserted into the solid tire. A free end of the extension section is inserted into the solid tire. A ratio of an extension length of the extension sect ion to a tire height of the solid tire is between 1:1.5 and 1:2.6, thereby maintaining a relative position of the center of a main body of the solid tire relative to the rim. Thus, the solid tire is prevented from being detached from the rim due to excessive lateral movement of the central position of the main body of the solid tire.

A connection structure between airless tire and rim and fastening members thereof. The connection structure includes: a rim having an annular rim body and an annular connection groove formed on outer circumference of the rim body; an airless tire having an annular tire body coaxially fitted on the rim body, multiple sockets radially extending from inner circumference of the tire body into the tire body; and multiple fastening members. Each of the fastening members has an extension section with a predetermined length. The extension section is coaxially inserted in the corresponding socket with one end protruding from an opening of the socket on the inner circumference of the tire body. The fastening member further has a base section fixedly connected with one end of the extension section. The base section is engaged in the connection groove. The fastening members serve to securely connect the airless tire with the rim.

A rocker assembly for a vehicle includes an upper rocker panel, a lower rocker panel, and a fastener. The fastener connects the upper and lower rocker panels. The fastener has a frustoconical tip to locate the fastener on the lower rocker panel, a body with a plurality of fins to stabilize the fastener between the upper and lower rocker panels, and a shoulder including an arrow-head configured to clamp the lower rocker panel to the upper rocker panel between the shoulder and a head of the fastener.

An extruded integrated fastener assembly comprising a plurality of fasteners cut to length from an extruded length of material. Unwanted areas of material are cut away leaving the individual fasteners, which fasteners are also connected together by an expanse of material that remains. The fastener assembly can be single durometer or double durometer. A profile with retention members and/or leg features are formed in the fasteners for connecting to a predetermined component. The process for manufacturing the extruded integrated fastener assembly includes providing fabrication tooling suitable to cut away the unwanted area between the fasteners. The fasteners are thereby able to be cut to any desired length.

A grommet has a body that includes a longitudinal axis and has a passageway therein. The grommet further includes a collar and a box prong. The collar extends from the body and away from the longitudinal axis. The box prong extends circumferentially around the body. A plurality of openings extend through the body and the box prong at diametrically opposed sides. The grommet is configured to attach within a slot of a component in any orientation.

A fastener for use in electronic device includes: a positioning member, having a base, wherein a connecting ring is disposed above the base, a rail slot having two ends respectively formed with a start blocking edge and a stop blocking edge is disposed on a top surface of the connecting ring, and a buckle slot is formed between the base and the connecting ring; and a rotating member, having a shaft column, wherein a block piece is radially formed on a top end of the shaft column, an annular supporting platform is radially formed at a bottom end thereof, at least three wing pieces are axially and downwardly extended from a circumference of the supporting platform, wherein at least two of the wing pieces respectively have a buckle hook, and the other wing piece is radially extended with a position limiting sheet.
