A fastener system shifting shear stresses away from a collet body and provides clamping action to targeted structures. The fastener system includes feet in the collet body that mate with openings in a sleeve at least partially surrounding the collet body. The sleeve or the collet body includes interior threads that engage with a stud that is configured to extend through the collet body and bend the feet such that they project outward from the sleeve openings in an engaged configuration.

A fastening apparatus includes an annular base element having an assembly wall for abutting a first component and a first fastening wall for abutting the second component, and an assembly element having a bottom wall. To enable passage through a second through-opening of the second component, the assembly element has a smaller diameter than the base element. At least two diametrically opposed foldable retaining arms are arranged radially circumferentially and connect the assembly wall to the assembly element. The retaining arms are each connected to the assembly element and the base element via a respective joint and form an articulated joint in the region between the joints. A region of the retaining arms between the articulated joints and the assembly wall forms a fastening portion, and at least one catching device is provided to connect the base element to the assembly element in an assembly position.

A latch assembly for a heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning (HVAC) enclosure includes a latch having a securement portion configured to couple to an access panel of the enclosure and having a rotational portion. The rotational portion has an engagement feature configured to engage with a tool face or a tool receptacle and the rotational portion has a first retainer adjacent to the engagement feature. The rotational portion is configured to rotate relative to the securement portion such that a locking portion of the rotational portion transitions between a closed configuration and an open configuration. The latch assembly includes a handle accessory having a handle engagement driver configured to engage with the engagement feature of the rotational portion along a first linking axis and having a second retainer configured to couple with the first retainer of the rotational portion along a second linking axis, transverse to the first linking axis.

A system, including a pin having a first cylindrical portion defining a first central axis and a second cylindrical portion defining a second central axis that is parallel to and offset from the first central axis, a first plate with a first aperture matching with the cross section of the first cylindrical portion; a second plate with a second aperture matching with the cross section of the second cylindrical portion, the second plate lying against the first plate where the first cylindrical portion of the pin is inserted in the first aperture and includes a first surface that axially abuts against the second plate and wherein the second cylindrical portion of the pin is inserted in the second aperture and includes a second surface that axially abuts against the first plate.

A wiring member is a wiring member including: a wire-like transmission member; a first sheet to which the wire-like transmission member is fixed; and a second sheet, at least a part of which is overlapped with the first sheet, wherein the second sheet has higher rigidness than the first sheet, a holding hole is formed in the second sheet, and the second sheet is held on a fixing target member of a vehicle via a vehicle fixing component inserted into the holding hole.

Disclosed is a clip for fastening a first element to a second element, wherein the clip has a head, a tip, a first clip side, and a second clip side. The first clip side extends from the head along a longitudinal axis in the direction of the tip, and the second clip side extends from the head along the longitudinal axis in the direction of the tip and has a clip surface protruding from the first clip side. The clip surface can be moved, under the tension of a spring, from a first position into a position located closer to the longitudinal axis than the first position. The head surface merges into a first side wall via a first bending section which is bent around a first bending axis, wherein the first bending axis is at an angle of >0° to <180° to the longitudinal axis.

A locking mechanism comprises an S-shaped locking member which comprises respective locking hooks arranged at the end of opposed arms of the locking member. A pivot is arranged between the arms of the locking member. The locking member rotates around the axis (A) of the pivot. The locking mechanism further comprises a coupling for coupling the locking member to an actuator for rotating the locking member around the pivot axis (A). The coupling comprises at least one coupling element, an actuator coupling for coupling the at least one coupling element to the actuator and first and second drive couplings for coupling the at least one coupling element independently to each arm of the locking member for transmitting rotational movement thereto, such that failure of one arm of the locking member will not cause loss of drive to the other arm of the locking member.

A fitted bolt connection is provided for connecting at least two components to holes to be matched comprises a fitted bolt having a conical surface for arrangement in a hole in the first component, three or more separate cone segments each for arrangement between the conical surface of the fitted bolt and an inner peripheral wall of the hole in the first component, and clamping bolts each associated with the cone segments, by means of which the cone segments, independently of one another, can each be individually clamped between the conical surface of the fitted bolt and the inner peripheral wall of the hole.

A bolt for clamping abutting parts includes a bolt-like part insertable into openings of the abutting parts and including an external thread on a portion of an outer side of the bolt-like part. The bolt-like part includes a bolt component without external thread so that the bolt extends in each of the abutting parts at least partially with the bolt component without external thread. A threaded sleeve projects radially outwardly beyond the bolt-like part and is positionally adjustable by engaging an internal thread of the threaded sleeve in the external thread of the bolt-like part. A clamping element is provided inside the bolt-like part at an end of the bolt-like part in opposition to the threaded sleeve and is movable beyond an outer circumference of the bolt-like part through a bore of the bolt-like part. An actuator acts on the clamping element in order to clamp the abutting parts.

A device for connecting a cross member for receiving pivot pins on two lower longitudinal members of a car body for a rail vehicle. The cross member has a transversal part that connects the two longitudinal members to each other in the region of the connection, and a longitudinal part that extends to the closest car front. The lower longitudinal members extend over the complete length of the car body and consist of multi-chamber hollow profiles made of a fibre composite material. The number of chambers of the multi-chamber hollow profile of each longitudinal member is reduced in the region of the connection such that the wall material of at least one chamber was removed in such a way that the webs to the adjacent chambers are exposed. At these places, load-introducing elements engage, to which load-introducing elements the cross member is attached.
