Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed including a connector for a flexible substrate including a first connector piece including a first plurality of through holes and a second connector piece including a second plurality of through holes, the second connector piece disposable in opposition to the first connector piece to align the first plurality of through holes and the second plurality of through holes to define, via the first plurality of through holes and the second plurality of through holes, a grommet and a plurality of fastener receivers. The connector also includes a channel, defined at least in part by the first connector piece, extending across the first connector piece.

A panel system includes a tab panel having at least one tab extending therefrom. The tab panel has a core and a facesheet adjacent the core. The panel system includes a slot panel having at least one slot receiving the corresponding tab of the tab panel therein. The slot panel has a core and a facesheet adjacent the core. The panel system includes a clip positioned between the tab panel and the slot panel. The clip is at least partially received in the slot. The clip has a tab panel securing member being secured to the tab panel and the clip has a slot panel securing member being secured to the slot panel. The clip securely joins the tab panel to the slot panel.

A clasp for a container includes an anchoring portion fixed to a flap or wall of the container. A wide portion prevents the clasp from moving apart from a buttonhole. An intermediate connection portion rotatably connects through hinges to the anchoring portion and the wide portion. The wide portion and the anchoring portion are configured to rotate relative to the intermediate portion, so that the clasp assumes: a compact condition, in which the wide portion and the anchoring portion are close and on opposite sides relative to the intermediate connection portion; an extended condition, in which the wide portion is aligned relative to the intermediate connection portion, allowing the clasp to move through the buttonhole; a closing condition, in which the wide portion and the anchoring portion are spaced apart, the wide portion being transverse to the intermediate connection portion, preventing the clasp from moving out of the buttonhole.

An adjustable-length tensile member, for example, a strap for a wearable pack, can include a fastener member defining first and second apertures and a cross-member positioned therebetween. A strap can extend through the first aperture in a first direction, over the cross-member and through the second aperture in a direction opposite to the first direction. A cover plate can matingly engage with the fastener member to obscure a segment of the strap from view. Wearable packs can incorporate such adjustable-length tensile members. Methods for assembling such adjustable-length tensile members are also disclosed.

A watertight clip may include a watertight clip main body and a packing. The watertight clip main body has a stabilizer, a pillar extending from the stabilizer, engagement legs formed in the pillar, and a packing retainer member. When the pillar is inserted into an attaching hole formed in a plate-shaped subject member, the subject member is positioned between the engagement legs and the stabilizer, so that an attached member connected to the stabilizer can be attached to the subject member. The packing is previously attached to the pillar. The packing is interleaved between the subject member and the stabilizer. The packing retainer member is configured to prevent the packing from separating from the pillar.

A one piece push-in fastener for insertion through a hole includes a head, and an elongate shank extending from the head and terminating in a tip. The fastener also includes a shoulder spaced from the head and extending radially outward from the shank, and a plurality of spaced ribs extending radially outward from the shank and disposed along a length of the shank between the shoulder and the tip. A diameter of the head is greater than a diameter of the shoulder.

According to an aspect of the invention there is provided a connector for connecting inner and outer layers of an apparatus, the connector comprising: a first attachment part for attaching to one of the inner or outer layers; a second attachment part for attaching to the other of the inner or outer layers; wherein: the first and second attachment parts are connected in such a way as to allow the first attachment part and second attachment part to move relative to each other when the inner and outer layers move relative to each other, and the first attachment part comprises: a first flange portion adjacent a gap, said gap for accommodating a portion of said one of the inner or outer layers, said flange portion retaining said inner or outer layers within said gap, and wherein the first flange portion is substantially dome-shaped.

A product display assembly includes a floor and a divider. The floor is configured to support a product. The divider is configured to selectively engage the floor such that the divider extends in a longitudinal direction. The divider includes a body portion and a proximal leg. The proximal leg is movable with respect to the body portion in a longitudinal direction between a first position where the proximal leg engages the floor and a second position where the proximal leg is free from engagement with the floor.

A fastener assembly contains: a first disc with a plurality of tip teeth, an engaging cylinder, a second disc, a retaining element, and a third disc. The engaging cylinder includes a first engagement structure formed on an inner wall thereof, and the engaging cylinder is connected with the first disc to form a main fastener. The second disc includes a through hole defined on a central position thereof and plural recesses radially extending from a peripheral side of the through hole, wherein the engaging cylinder inserts through and retains with the through hole of the second disc so that the engaging cylinder engages with the second disc. The retaining element is cylindrical or columnar and includes a second engagement structure arranged on a first end thereof, wherein a second end of the retaining element is coupled with the third disc to form an auxiliary fastener.
