A fastening staple adapted for fastening of a photovoltaic framework against a front face of a support wall comprises a bearing head and a counter-support foot constituting a jaw likely to transversely receive both a segment of the support wall and a segment of the photovoltaic framework. The counter-support foot comprises at least one bearing lateral flange positioned longitudinally so as to bear longitudinally against a rear face of the support wall when the photovoltaic framework and the support wall are transversely engaged in the jaw. The bearing head comprises at least one hooking element adapted to hook the photovoltaic framework in order to transversely immobilize the photovoltaic framework in the jaw. The bearing head and/or the counter-support foot comprises at least one mechanical tensioning flange where an elastic deformation and/or a displacement thereof, resulting from the action of transverse engagement of the photovoltaic framework segment and of the support wall segment in the determined interval between the bearing head and the counter-support foot, enables the bearing head and the counter-support foot to exert a longitudinal tightening of the photovoltaic framework and of the support wall in the jaw.

The invention relates to a clip for fastening a first element to a second element, wherein the clip has a top (1) and a tip (2) and a first side (4) and a second side (5), wherein the first side (4) extends from the top (1) in the direction of the tip (2), and the second side (5) extends from the top (1) in the direction of the tip (2), wherein a first side wall (10) extends from the first side (4) in the direction of the second side (5), and a second side wall (13) extends from the second side (5) in the direction of the first side (4), wherein the first side wall (10) has a first protruding finger (14), which overlaps a region of the second side wall (13), wherein the first side wall (10) has a second protruding finger, which overlaps another region of the second side wall (13).

A system and method for fastening protective barriers to solar panel systems includes a fastener system including a main clip that is coupled to a support clip and a wireform splice. The main clip and support clip of the fastener system are adapted to engage with a solar panel frame. Once engaged with the panel frame, a barrier, such as wire mesh, is placed adjacent to a front face of the main clip and the wireform splice may be coupled to the main clip and engaged with the barrier. The splice is used to secure the barrier to the faceplate. In one embodiment, the fastening devices may be placed in a spaced arrangement, and the barrier is coupled to each fastening device along the continuous run. In this way, a single section of barrier may be secured to the solar panel array system.

A clip for holding two flat elements joined together at their main face. The clip comprises a lower wall, an upper wall, and two side walls, the walls defining a closed volume. The side walls are provided with a groove having an end that opens into a face referred to as the front face of the clip. The grooves are configured to insert the clip by its front face onto the two joined flat elements and are each delimited by a contour having an upper segment and a lower segment opposite the upper segment. According to the present disclosure, the side walls each have, on their respective outwardly facing faces, a flat holding flange that extends along a rectilinear portion of the lower segment of the groove and provides a contact surface with one of the flat elements. The present disclosure also relates to an assembly comprising such a clip.

A spring clip for attaching a radiant burner unit to a cooktop includes a retention tab having a portion extending in a first direction and a retention arm defining a lever portion projecting away from the retention tab to an end displaced from the tab in a second direction generally normal to the first direction. The retention arm further defines a resiliently deformable section facilitating movement of the lever toward and away from the retention tab. The spring clip further includes a snap tab positioned opposite the retention arm from the retention tab and resiliently deflectable toward and away from the retention tab.

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.

This invention seeks to improve the existing attachment method for the pivot rod and clevis, parts of a sink pop-up drain assembly. The pivot rod at the open end is guided through a hole in the clevis to set the desired lift height of the sink drain stopper. The existing fastener used to attach the pivot rod to the clevis is only a single spring clip. This configuration is susceptible to slippage, causing detachment of the pivot rod from the clevis, therefore rendering the pop-up mechanism inoperable. My new improved fastening method uses a threaded pivot rod with hardware on both sides of the clevis to prevent slippage and provide a more reliable means of attachment.
