Disclosed is a fixing (1) for securing an article (21) to a surface (19). The fixing comprising a coupling arrangement (3) for coupling the fixing to an article such as cabling. Elongate members (5) extend from the coupling arrangement and are moved together to insert the fixing into a cavity (17), and spring apart to retain the fixing in the cavity. The elongate members have resiliently deformable inner formations (9). The inner formations engage with one another and resiliently deform when the elongate members are brought together, thereby increasing the pull resistance of the fixing. The inner formations are inwardly extending branches each presenting a ramped surface oriented towards the distal ends (8) of the respective elongate member, assisting in coupling an article to the fixing.

According to one embodiment, a fastener comprises a first side and a second side opposite the first side. The first side is connected to the second side thereby forming a U-shaped structure. The fastener further comprises a bottom portion wherein the first side and the second side are connected, and a top portion opposite the bottom portion. The first side comprises a first engagement spring. The first engagement spring is connected to the first side in the vicinity of the bottom portion. The engagement springs have inward facing gussets connected to the bottom portion. The second side comprises a second engagement spring. The second engagement spring is connected to the second side in the vicinity of the bottom portion. A cavity is formed between the first side and the second side as will be described below. The engagement springs include an engagement region operable to adapt to variations or movement of a slot.

An improved fastener clip for a side curtain airbag is provided. The fastener clip includes a head portion and a body portion having first and second expansion legs. During installation, the fastener clip is manually inserted through aligned openings in an airbag attachment member and a body panel. When a bolt is threaded into the fastener clip, the head portion engages an upper surface of the airbag attachment member and the expansion legs flex laterally outward and engage an underside of the body panel. Spring tabs extend from the head portion and absorb vibrations to provide a secure attachment over the life of the fastener clip.

A retention system on a mounting structure for a generally cylindrical component extending in a transversal axis. The retention system includes a generally U-shaped spring clip comprising a base and a pair of resilient retainer arms extending from the base along a longitudinal axis and defining an inlet passage; and a member holding said U-shaped spring clip; the retainer arms are adapted to engage with an upper side of the component in front of the inlet passage. The member includes one or multiple rigid retention walls extending inside the spring clip and which are adapted to engage with a lower side of the component at distance of the base, in working position.

A retention clip is described herein. The retention clip has a first portion configured to temporarily deform upon insertion into a slot of a mounting location and prevent the retention clip from retracting through the slot once inserted. The retention clip also has a second portion configured to attach the retention clip to a component via a first torque of a fastener interfacing with the second portion. The retention clip further has a third portion configured to abut against a surface of the component and deform under s second torque of the fastener such that the first portion and the second portion are translated along an attachment axis toward the component. The retention clip allows for locating and securing the component with a single fastener via two stages. Accordingly, mounting of the component may be cheaper, less complex, and quicker.

A fastener made of a metal material and for attaching a component to an attachment hole of an attachment member includes first and second leg pieces facing each other, and a connecting portion connecting base ends of the first and second leg pieces. The first leg piece includes a locking portion configured to be locked to an edge of the attachment hole, and a claw portion configured to retain the fastener to the component. The claw portion extends from a tip end side of the first leg piece and is configured to be inserted into a hole portion formed in a boss portion of the component. The second leg piece does not include a claw portion configured to be inserted into the hole portion and to retain the fastener to the component.

The disclosure provides a soldering component and a method of assembling a soldering component to objects, the soldering component comprises a body part and an assembling part, the assembling part is for combining to the object, the body part has a snap-fit part, the snap-fit part has an elastic retracting space, and the elastic retracting space can elastically retract two or more fastening parts, so that each fastening part fastens into another object, and the soldering component has a solderable surface for soldering to an assembling part of the object, the assembling part of the object is preset with a tin soldering layer, which is heated and soldered the soldering component and the assembling part of the object.

A fastening clip includes a clip body (1) having a pair of side walls (2) provided with windows (3); a pair of retaining portions (4) that are deflected during the placement of the fastening clip in its use position, each of the retaining portions (4) includes an end portion (5); and a head portion (6) provided at an end of the clip body (1) and protruding from the side walls (2). The end portions (5) include a bent portion (7), each end portion (5) being divided in two side portions (8) by a groove (9), and the bent portion (7) being in one of the two side portions (8). The fastening clip also includes a base body (11) having verification elements (12) that in the use position are placed in the groove (9) between the side portions (8).

A fastening device (1) is adapted to fasten a recessed object (30) to a wall. The object has at least one through hole (20) and includes a rod (2), a bracket (3), and a locking element (4). Systems also include at least one fastening device (1) and a recessed object and procedures for the installation of the systems.

Provided is a resin cover for covering a surface of a structure by being inserted and secured together with a metallic clip into a hole portion formed in the structure, the resin cover is formed with a clip squeezing portion for mounting the metallic clip, the clip squeezing portion is formed with a flexure control rib, and the flexure control rib is formed to restrict the defamation amount of a claw portion formed on the metallic clip to prevent the metallic clip from being pulled back from the hole portion formed in the structure when the metallic clip is urged to be pulled back from the hole portion formed in the structure in the state that the metallic clip mounted on the clip squeezing portion is inserted into the hole portion formed in the structure.
