W-base fastener and locator cap
A fastener assembly includes a fastener body, a locator cap, and a seal. The fastener body can include a first wing and a second wing that extend from a stem. The first wing can define a first wing tip and the second wing can define a second wing tip. The locator cap can include a top flange and a base. The top flange can define an opening to an interior of the base. A first slot can be formed in the base and can be dimensioned to receive the first wing. A second slot can be formed in the base opposite the first slot and can be dimensioned to receive the second wing. The seal can be in contact with the top flange.
Accordion clip
A fastener for securing a panel to a substructure includes a flange having a bore, a base disposed under the flange and having a post extending upwardly from the base, the post having a retaining member at an upper portion thereof, and at least one flexible hinge resiliently connecting the base and the flange such that when the base is pushed toward the flange, the post with the retaining member passes through the bore adapted to engage with other member. The flange further includes flexible walls formed around the bore and extending outward with retaining clips formed at respective leading ends thereof. The flexible walls bend towards the bore when pressed into the bore.
Hollow chamber blocking tool
A hollow chamber blocking tool includes: a first blocking tool having a first foamable base material on a first holder plate; and a second blocking tool having a second foamable base material on a second holder plate. The first blocking tool includes a steel plate fixing portion locked to a steel plate. The second blocking tool includes an integrated portion locked to the steel plate fixing portion. The second holder plate includes a rotating portion rotatably connected to the first blocking tool.
Rotary Connector
A connection device (12) serves for coupling of two apparatus (10, 11) to be arranged on top of one another or for coupling of an apparatus (10) with an apparatus support (55). The apparatus connection device (12) comprises at least two coupling means, namely the two swivel anchor couplings (20, 21). One embodiment has three coupling means, in which the two swivel anchor couplings are completed by a mounting device (44) that are preferably arranged in a horizontal or in an inclined plane. The mounting device (44) operates according to the hook/eyelet principle while the swivel anchor couplings (20, 21) provide a form-fit locking in that a non-round swivel anchor (25, 28) is axially inserted into an anchor socket (26, 29) and is secured by means of rotation. This connection can be simply established and released and is in addition shock-proof.
FASTENING CLIP ASSEMBLY
A fastening clip assembly is configured to secure to a component, and may include four retaining legs that are configured to directly contact portions of the component to provide four points of contact with the component, and a central pedestal including a central beam and two angled retaining beams extending from the central beam. The two angled retaining beams are configured to exert a triangular retaining force into the component.
Tethered fastener and related methods
A plastic body includes first and second connector ends coupled together via an elongate tether. A frangible strap can extend from a first to a second point along the longitudinal length of the tether. The length of the frangible strap can be less than the tether length between the first and second points. A metal clip can be non-releasably coupled to the second connector end by being retained within a cage housing. The connector ends can be releasably coupled to each other by cooperating elongate rails, and with the frangible strap in a non-extended configuration with the first and second connector ends non-releasably coupled associated automobile components. The frangible strap can deform or separate as a result of a tensile force acting on the frangible strap as the tether extends when an airbag deploys separating the automobile components and the connector ends.
Surface-mounted light and/or camera, connecting pin and surface-mounted light fastening system
The present invention relates to a surface-mounted light and/or camera (1) for arrangement on a wall (5), in particular an inside wall of a machine, having a housing (10) with a front side area (12), a rear side area (14) and side walls (13), at least one illuminant (50) and/or at least one camera (60), with at least one recess (20) being provided in the rear side area (14), in which at least one fastening means (30) is arranged, wherein the fastening means (30) in the recess (20) forms a trap which is beveled towards the rear side area (14). The present invention also relates to a connecting pin (2) for fastening the surface-mounted light and/or camera (1) to a wall (5) and a surface-mounted light and/or surface-mounted camera fastening system (3).
Motor vehicle roof ditch cover clip
The ditch molding clip can include a single piece body. The single piece body can include (1) an outer frame surrounding an interior opening, (2) a clip-to-molding retention coupling including a plurality of resilient arm members extending from the outer frame and designed to engage and retain a corresponding edge of the molding, (3) a clip-to-weld-stud retention coupling positioned within the interior opening and including an aperture designed to receive and retain the weld stud, and (4) an extensible member extending between the outer frame and the clip-to-molding retention coupling. A longitudinal length of the extensible member can be designed to lengthen to allow the clip-to-weld stud retention coupling to move within the interior opening to accommodate for variations in the positioning of the weld stud relative to the ditch. The extensible member can have a corrugated configuration.
Structural fastener
A strut receiver assembly provides springing attachment to a slotted structural member such as a strut. The strut receiver includes a bottom portion having a plurality of slots, a first side connected to the bottom portion and a second side connected to the bottom portion, thereby forming a U-shaped structure with the first and second sides. The plurality of first engagement springs each have an outward facing wing on the first side operable for springing attachment to a first rim on the slotted structural member. The plurality of second engagement springs each have an outward facing wing on the second side operable for springing attachment to a second rim on the slotted structural member. A band has a bottom portion, a first side having a first arm for engaging a first receiver slot and a second side having a second arm for engaging a second receiver slot.
HANGING APPARATUS
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.
