A connecting apparatus connects a receiving body for conveyed goods to a base body. The apparatus includes an abutment device with a support element on the base body and an abutment element on the receiving body. When used, the receiving body rests on the support element via the abutment element. A locking device with a first locking element is rotatable about an axis of rotation relative to the base body. A second locking element is fixed to the receiving body. An actuating device is connected to the first locking element. The first locking element is transferrable from a release position, in which the locking elements are disengaged, into a locking position in which the locking elements engage one another. The first locking element is guided through a through-opening of the base body. A sealing element seals the through-opening. A conveying assembly can include the connecting apparatus.

A fastener is provided for securing a first panel to a second panel. The fastener includes a stud insertable through apertures in the first and second panels. A handle pivotally connected to a stud head and pivotal between an upright position and a folded. A biasing assembly is connected to the stud head and the handle that biases the handle outward relative to the stud head. A fastener is also provided for securing together the first and second panels, including a grommet, a receptacle and an insert in threaded engagement with an interior of the receptacle. The receptacle may be a rivet nut.

A connecting element for cardboard sheets comprises a tubular center, a handle and spaced a locking region. The handle projects radially over the cross section of the center and forms a radial projection. The locking region comprises radially projecting a tab having a wedge-shaped latching element. The connecting element is rotatable between an insertion position and a locking position to connect two sheets. The tab has an edge facing the locking direction and the tab adjacent to the edge is configured as an insertion surface aligned opposite the handle that forms an insertion region of a height H with the corresponding part of the handle. The height H is greater than the distance A between the handle and the locking region in the receiving region, and the height H of the insertion region decreases from the edge toward the receiving region.

A directional fixing device includes a base including a barrel, an annular portion and a channel, a socket set outside the barrel and having a top operation indication structure, a pointing convex portion protruding from the operation indication structure and a lifting structure recessed inside the operation indication structure, the lifting structure being formed from top to bottom with a first positioning groove, a guide ramp and a second positioning groove; a fixing member mounted with an elastic member and having a rod body provided with a through hole at the top and a positioning block at the bottom; and a sliding member fixed through the through hole of the fixing member with one end thereof stopped against the second positioning groove to form positioning.

The invention disclosed herein relates to a housing module for a lighting element for a vehicle. The housing module includes a base body, a fastening interface provided on the base body for fastening the housing module to a lighting element, and a receptacle provided on the base body for arranging a cable holder. The receptacle includes an opening and a plurality of sliding elements partially surrounding the opening, wherein the sliding elements are arranged on a first side of a surface of the base body comprising the opening. The sliding elements are configured to urge a plurality of flexible latching elements of the cable holder projecting from a second side opposite the first side through the surface onto the first side from a locking position to a release position when the cable holder rotates in the opening.

A quick-release fastener structure includes a body portion and an engaging portion. The body portion is fitted to a first object. The engaging portion is movably fitted to the body portion. The engaging portion has a head portion, a bar portion with an end connected to the head portion, and an engaging-connecting portion disposed at another end of the bar portion. The engaging-connecting portion is insertedly engaged with or separated from a second object. Therefore, the quick-release fastener structure operates by fitting the body portion to the first object and allowing the engaging portion to be engagedly connected to the second object or removed from the second object, such that the at least two objects are coupled together and separated repeatedly and quickly.

A fastening system for fixing a panel with a support structure that has an opening with a waist includes a clip having an upper section and a lower section. The upper section includes two or more resilient arms projecting upwardly and outwardly to define a deflection space therebetween. An aperture formed in the panel is adapted to receive the lower section of the clip. The opening in the support structure is adapted to receive the upper section of the clip. As such, with the lower section of the clip engaged with the aperture of the panel, the upper section of the clip is inserted into the opening of the support structure. The resilient arms flex inwardly as the upper section of the clip passes the waist of the opening, the resilient arms thereafter flexing outwardly to hold the panel to the support structure.

A fastening arrangement having a fastening element for elastically connecting a bolt-on part to a support part. The fastening element has a head section (7) that transitions into an element shank. An elastomer profile part with a retaining groove which is open radially to the outside, into which a retaining foot of the bolt-on part can engage, is arranged on the underside of the head section. The retaining groove is designed with a groove wall on the head side and a groove wall on the shank side. The elastomer profile part is constructed in at least two parts from an elastomer body arranged on the head section of the fastening element and from a disk element that has at least the shank-side groove wall of the retaining groove. The disk element is also composed of two components, namely the elastomer profile part and the hard component.
