A fastener includes a mounting base and an insert portion. The mounting base includes an accommodating cavity having an accommodating cavity opening and a mounting slot located above the accommodating cavity having a width that is smaller than a width of the accommodating cavity. The insert portion includes a retaining portion, a neck portion connected to the retaining portion, and a head portion disposed between the retaining portion and the head portion. The head portion is configured to be received within the accommodating cavity by the accommodating cavity opening. The neck portion is configured such that at least a portion of the neck portion is received by the mounting slot when the head portion is received by the accommodating cavity.

An over-the-door hanging apparatus includes a support structure extending along a longitudinal axis and having a rear surface. A first mounting bracket that is elongated in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis of the support structure is coupled to the rear surface of the support structure. A bracket assembly may include a first elongate member having a first bracket that is configured to engage a top edge of a door, a second elongate member having a second bracket that is configured to engage the top edge of the door, and at least one mounting element. The support structure may be configured to be mounted to the bracket assembly through engagement between the at least one mounting element of the bracket assembly and the first mounting bracket.

An apparatus for engaging equipment to a support includes a member defining a first channel having a first side wall capable of lateral movement with respect to a second side wall suitable for engaging the equipment therebetween. The member defines a pair of surfaces suitable for engaging equipment thereon. A movable member is capable of causing the lateral movement. A substantially compressible member is operably interconnected between the movable member and the first side wall. A pin is selectively raisable with respect to one of the surfaces within a peripheral area defined by the one of the surfaces.

A shoe-clip fastener for securing components in a vehicle includes a stop member having a wall portion and a slot defined in the wall portion and an insertion element coupled to the stop member. The insertion element includes a base member and a clip member cantilevered from the base member. The clip member includes an actuator section that projects proudly of the slot.

A system and method including a fastener clip assembly including a cap, the cap including a cap top portion, one or more cap legs extending from the top portion, one or more feet at the bottom of the legs, and one or more tabs extending on the inside of the one or more legs. The fastener clip assembly also includes a pin, the pin being configured to slide around and within the cap, based at least upon the pin being configured to be snapped closed around the cap to form a cap-pin assembly. The cap-pin assembly is configured to couple a panel to a slot in a chassis based at least upon the cap-pin assembly being configured to attach to the slot in the chassis and to the panel. The cap is configured to expand around the chassis slot based at least upon the pin being configured to push the tabs outward in response to the pin being pushed up passed the tabs.

An over-the-door hanging apparatus which includes a mirror apparatus having a rear surface, at least one mounting element located on the rear surface of the mirror apparatus, and at least one over-the-door hanger. The over-the-door hanger may include an elongate member, a bracket for engaging a top edge of a door, a first hook punched into the elongate member and being aligned with a first aperture formed through the elongate member, and a second hook punched into the elongate member and being aligned with a second aperture formed through the elongate member. The mirror apparatus may be slidably mounted to the at least one over-the-door hanger through slidable mating between the at least one mounting element on the rear surface of the mirror apparatus and one of the first and second hooks of the at least one over-the-door hanger.

A U-base clip component can include a pair of rib coupling barbs which can extend inwardly from two opposing clip side walls. A seal component can include two opposing aperture retention wings coupled to a central wall. A first and a second component annular seal can extend from opposite respective sides of the central wall. The U-base clip component and the seal component can define an interior rib receiving cavity between both the clip side walls and the aperture retention wings. A pair of rib coupling barbs can extend into the interior rib receiving cavity from the clip side walls and the two opposing aperture retention wings can extend exteriorly from the clip side walls. The rib coupling barbs of the U-base clip can be designed to couple fastener to the rib and the aperture retention wings can be designed to couple the dual component sealing fastener to the aperture.

A clip for a fastener assembly includes a main body and a base that includes a pair of fingers that each have a nub. The fingers extend from opposing ends of the base and the nubs are centrally disposed between the opposing ends.

A fastener clip system including a carrier and a fastener clip configured to fit over the carrier. The fastener clip includes at least one wing. The wing includes an engagement region that includes a depressed portion configured to be secured against a slot.
