The invention relates to a system for fastening a planar element (19), which has a cut-out (22), to a component (20), which has a borehole (18) having a screw thread (21), comprising a fastening dip (1), which has a contact section (2) having at least one contact plane (3) for contacting a first side of the planar element (19) facing away from the borehole (18), the fastening clip (1) having an elastic first retaining element (6) in a connection section (5), which first retaining element is connected to the contact section (2) and is designed in such a way that, after the planar element (19) has been fastened, the first retaining element reaches through the cut-out (22) of the planar element (19) into the borehole (18) when the contact plane (3) lies on the first side (24) of the planar element (19). According to the invention, the fastening clip (1) has an elastic second elastic retaining element (7), which is connected to the contact section (2) and is designed in such a way that, before the planar element (19) is fastened to component (20), the second retaining element reaches through the cut-out (22) of the planar element (19) and behind the planar element (19) on a second side (25) of the planar element (19) in such a way that a pressing force is applied to the second side (25) by the fastening clip (1) when the contact plane (3) lies on the first side (24) of the planar element (19). The invention further relates to a fastening clip (1) for use in such a system.

A fastening system is configured to securely couple a fastened component to a mating structure using a fastener with a shaft. The fastening system includes a compression limiting sleeve and a spring element. The compression limiting sleeve has an axial hub, a base, and a sleeve outer wall. The axial hub extends perpendicularly from the base and is configured to receive the shaft of the fastener. The sleeve outer wall extends from the base. The spring element has a central portion and a spring element outer wall. The central portion includes a central opening and at least one coupling feature. The central opening is configured to receive the shaft of the fastener. The at least one coupling feature is configured to engage the axial hub of the compression limiting device.

A semi-rigid panel of foam insulation is secured transversely between the front fenders and certain body structures of a motor vehicle at several locations. Specifically, the insulation is located and secured to the fender by a retainer or clip having a channel that receives the insulation panel; the panel includes projections or lugs that are complementary to and seat within with frame or body member openings, ribs or other features; is secured within an integrated bracket or holder in the upper plenum having a slot or channel having a width equal to the thickness of the insulation; and includes a hook or lip that is received within an air inlet of the heating and air conditioning system of the vehicle.

A fastening device for fastening a decoupling device relative to a hole rim of a hole opening of a shielding part; to achieve the vibration-decoupling connection of a bushing to the shielding part, the decoupling device has at least one bridge element, which, at its radially outer edge, has fasteners for producing a fastening connection of the bridge element to the hole rim of the shielding part, wherein the fasteners comprise at least four tabs which, starting from the bridge element, protrude radially outward and a subset of at least two tabs of the bridge element is provided to rest against a first outside of the shielding part and a remainder of at least two tabs is provided to rest against an opposite second outside of the shielding part and the hole rim can be immobilized with a force fit relative to the decoupling device by means of the tabs of the subset and the tabs of the remainder.

A battery system for an electric vehicle includes a fixed cover, and a removable cover arranged over battery modules and a high voltage distribution system. The battery system includes a busbar arranged at least partially over a region of the battery modules and under the removable cover. The busbar includes a fixed section and a movable section, or a hinge, such that the busbar can be repositioned out of the way. The support tray includes a link between the fixed and movable sections. Floating fasteners, allowing at least one of radial float and axial float are used to secure the link to the support tray, thereby avoiding safety hazards and reducing the potential for short circuits in high voltage distribution systems or conductors thereof. The floating fasteners include a head, a neck, an engagement section, and a washer, which prevent removal from a component once installed.

An insulating element for insulating a structural element in a vehicle, includes at least two interconnected modules, the modules having essentially an identical design, and wherein a module has in each case a carrier and an expandable material arranged on the carrier. The insulating element further includes at least one fixing element for fixing the insulating element to the structural element, the fixing element being connected to at least one module.

A sound- and heat-insulating enclosure of a pedal mount of a motor vehicle has at least one pedal mounted pivotably thereon. The enclosure has retaining contours, by which fixing on the pedal mount is possible. A pedal-independent high-quality sealing concept can be implemented by shifting a sealing plane between an interior of a cockpit and a footwell from the pedals toward the pedal mount.

A fastening device for fastening a shielding part to a fastening partner in a vibration-decoupled manner having a collar bushing that has at least one bushing core and two collars that protrude outward in a radial direction (R) and are spaced apart from each other in an axial direction (A), with the collars forming an interstice between themselves and having a bridge element, which is positioned with its radially inner region in the interstice; and the bushing core extends through an opening of the bridge element with a radial play (s),
wherein a damping element is positioned in the axial direction (A) between the collars and in the radial direction (R) between the bushing core and a radial stop of the bridge element and is dimensioned so that the radial mobility of the bridge element relative to the bushing core is limited to an effective radial play (s) that is reduced relative to the radial play (s).

An article comprising: (a) a carrier; (b) one or more carrier extensions extending from the carrier at one or more joints; (c) activatable material disposed on the carrier, at least one of the one or more carrier extensions, or a combination thereof; wherein the one or more carrier extensions are flexible relative to the carrier at the one or more hinges.

A fastening system for fastening a component on a carrier component, comprising a fastening bolt, which can be fitted through a component through-passage opening and can be fastened in a fastening bore of the carrier component, and an outer sleeve and an inner sleeve, which is mounted in an axially movable manner in a through-passage opening of the outer sleeve, wherein the inner sleeve forms a through-passage opening for the fastening bolt, the fastening bolt mounted in an axially movable manner in said through-passage opening, a first spring washer, which can be fitted onto the outer sleeve and positions itself against a first side of the component, and a second spring washer, which can be fitted onto the outer sleeve and positions itself against a second side of the component, said second side being located opposite the first side.
