The clip may be configured to engage the conducting pad and the corresponding connector pin to provide electrical continuity between the conducting pad and the corresponding connector pin.

A high retention force fastener for fixing at least two panels together is disclosed. The fastener includes two components. One component is a metal clip and the other is a plastic insert that can be substantially inserted into the metal clip. The metal clip includes a body having opposed panel engagement features extending therefrom, an insertion stop plate spaced apart from the engagement features and plastic insert locking tabs extending from the stop plate. The metal clip is preferably U-shaped and includes two sides joined by a connector. Each of the sides includes a pair of the panel engagement features. The plastic insert includes a head and a leg for insertion into the metal clip. The leg extends from the head. The plastic insert additionally includes metal tab engagement arms extending from and integrally formed with the head for engaging the plastic insert locking tabs of the metal clip.

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.

A friction clip includes a coupling portion having a coupling element, a middle portion adjacent the coupling portion, and an end portion adjacent the middle portion and opposite the coupling portion. The middle portion includes a bent out tab having a first interference edge configured to engage an internal wall of a first canister having a first diameter and the end portion includes a second interference edge configured to engage an internal wall of a second canister having a second diameter. Alternatively, a multi-part friction clip includes a first member that is couplable to a light module, and a second member that is removably couplable to the first member. The second member includes a coupling portion configured to removably engage with the first member, a middle portion having a bent out tab that includes a first interference edge, and an end portion that includes a second interference edge.

Described herein is a ceiling system in one embodiment includes a grid support member, ceiling panel, and grid hanger configured to support the grid support member in a suspended manner from an overhead structural support. The grid hanger includes a mounting bracket configured for attachment to the structural support and a hanger member. The hanger member is adjustable in a plurality of selectable mounting positions relative to the mounting bracket, thereby allowing the mounted height of the grid support member to be adjusted in the field. In some embodiment, the hanger member is further angularly adjustable relative to the mounting bracket to avoid installation obstacles. Locking elements are provided to secure the hanger member in the selected mounting position. In one embodiment, the grid support member may have a T-shaped cross section.

A clamping ring including a connecting beam and two engaging members is provided. The two engaging members are respectively disposed at two ends of the connecting beam, and the connecting beam and the two engaging members are adapted to accommodate and clamp a wire. At least one of the two engaging members has a curved portion, a column foot, and a hook. The curved portion has an obliquely extended neck block. The neck block is coupled to the corresponding end of the connecting beam, such that the curved portion has a vertical distance with respect to the connecting beam. A hollow groove is formed inside the curved portion. The column foot is coupled to a bottom of the curved portion opposite to the neck block, and an angle is formed between the column foot and the connecting beam. The hook is coupled to the column foot, and a deforming groove is formed between the column foot and the hook.

A strap retaining device for facilitating positioning of a child in a safety seat includes a pair of panels. Each panel is arcuately shaped proximate to a first end of the panel to define a hook section of the panel. Each of a pair of couplers is coupled to a respective panel proximate to a second end of the respective panel. The coupler is configured to couple the respective panel to a respective opposing side of a child safety seat so that the hook section is positioned proximate to a front of the child safety seat. The hook section is configured to insert into a loop that is defined by an associated strap of the child safety seat to removably couple the associated strap to the hook section. The hook section retains the associated strap in an open configuration to facilitate positioning of a child in the child safety seat.

A U-shaped band to attach or snap a conduit or pipe to a slotted structural member. The U-shaped band includes a bottom portion, a first side having a first arm connected to the bottom portion; a second side having a second arm connected to the bottom portion thereby forming a U-shaped structure with the first and second sides. The at least one arm snaps into a slot of the slotted structural member when in an engaged position. The slotted structural member may be a strut or a receiver. The receiver has arms to engage and snap into curled ends or lips on sides of the strut and thus may adapt the band to the strut. Alternatively, the band may snap into suitably sized slots on the slotted structural member.

A clamping ring including a connecting beam and two engaging members is provided. The two engaging members are respectively disposed at two ends of the connecting beam, and the connecting beam and the two engaging members are adapted to accommodate and clamp a wire. At least one of the two engaging members has a curved portion, a column foot, and a hook. The curved portion has an obliquely extended neck block. The neck block is coupled to the corresponding end of the connecting beam, such that the curved portion has a vertical distance with respect to the connecting beam. A hollow groove is formed inside the curved portion. The column foot is coupled to a bottom of the curved portion opposite to the neck block, and an angle is formed between the column foot and the connecting beam. The hook is coupled to the column foot, and a deforming groove is formed between the column foot and the hook.
