A first example box nut retainer includes a support, a fastener sleeve, and a resilient arm. The fastener sleeve defines an opening and extends downwardly from the support. The resilient arm extends upwardly and outwardly relative to the fastener sleeve toward the support.

A fastener structure includes a fastener having a stem portion and at least one movement portion. The stem portion has a fastening section. The movement portion is formed on the stem portion and has a retaining section. With these arrangements, the retaining section of the movement portion can be detachably assembled to a first object and the fastening section can be then detachably assembled or fastened to a second object. In this way, at least two objects can be connected to and disconnected from one another in a quick and repeatable manner.

An attachment portion facilitates attachment to an attachment object such as a vehicle. The attachment portion includes a first fastening portion, a second fastening portion to be screwed with the first fastening portion, a detent portion (a connection portion, a holder) provided between the first fastening portion and the second fastening portion, and a deformable member (a claw washer) provided between the first fastening portion and the detent portion. The detent portion suppresses that at least one of the first fastening portion and the deformable member rotate(s) when the second fastening portion rotates. After the first fastening portion and the deformable member are inserted into an attachment hole into which the attachment portion is to be inserted, of the attachment object, the deformable member sandwiches the attachment object with the second fastening portion by rotating the second fastening portion so as to be screwed with the first fastening portion.

A honeycomb sandwich panel insert includes a housing defined by two identical halves which when joined together form a distal flange having opposed potting holes, and a central internal bore, integrally formed laterally extending member when joined forms a tight closed distal end of said bore. The honeycomb sandwich panel insert further includes a nut disposed within the internal bore of the housing and configured to float therein.

An example device in accordance with an aspect of the present disclosure includes a grip to secure the device to an expansion card. The grip includes an upper grip portion to receive a fastener, and a standoff formed by a lower grip portion. The standoff is to establish a standoff distance between the expansion card and the mainboard when the device is secured to the expansion card and fastened to the mainboard.

A retention clip is described herein. The retention clip has a first portion configured to temporarily deform upon insertion into a slot of a mounting location and prevent the retention clip from retracting through the slot once inserted. The retention clip also has a second portion configured to attach the retention clip to a component via a first torque of a fastener interfacing with the second portion. The retention clip further has a third portion configured to abut against a surface of the component and deform under s second torque of the fastener such that the first portion and the second portion are translated along an attachment axis toward the component. The retention clip allows for locating and securing the component with a single fastener via two stages. Accordingly, mounting of the component may be cheaper, less complex, and quicker.

A fastening system for coupling an object having object openings to a base can with a flange having base can apertures. The fastening system includes a clip with an upper arm and a lower arm each extending from a spreader that separates the upper and lower arms. The clip is configured to engage the flange such that the flange is positioned between the upper and lower arms. The clip is configured to retain a nut having a nut opening with internal threads between the lower arm and the flange such that the nut opening is aligned to one of the base can apertures. A coupling system with a threaded member is configured to couple the object to the base can by extending at least through one object opening and one base can aperture, and also extending at least partially into the nut opening to engage the nut.

A mounting hardware and theft deterrent device includes a hand knob; a threaded screw coupled to the hand knob; a U-clip configured to replace a stock retaining clip on a motorcycle frame and for placement on the motorcycle frame to receive the threaded screw coupled to the hand knob and thereby to secure a motorcycle saddlebag to the motorcycle; and a lock washer for placement over the threaded screw coupled to the hand knob before the threaded screw is inserted into the U-clip. The hand knob, threaded screw fixedly coupled to an underside surface of the hand knob, U-clip, and lock washer collectively form the theft deterrent device. The theft deterrent device is configured for utilization to secure a motorcycle saddlebag to a motorcycle frame without a need for any additional installation tools. The theft deterrent device includes a retaining clip to hold the hand knob to the motorcycle saddlebag.

A clip nut 100 has first and second opposed arms 202, 204 extending longitudinally and the second arm 204 includes first and second walls 222, 224 extending transversely of the clip nut, and the first wall 222 includes a first plurality of cavities 234, 236 and the second wall 224 includes a second plurality of cavities 248, 250. A nut 102 includes legs 112, 114 extending into respective cavities. The nut is assembled with the clip nut by putting a leg into a cavity in the first wall and moving the nut toward the second arm to engage a cavity in the second wall.
