A hole plug that can be used during rework or repair of a composite fiber assembly includes various features that allow placement of a vacuum force to the surface being reworked or repaired. In some implementations, the hole plug can include a plurality of nubs positioned around a shank. The nubs can secure the hole plug to the composite fiber assembly until a cure of an adhesive. The hole plug can further include a plurality of longitudinally oriented grooves extending along the shank and positioned between the plurality of nubs, and can include a notch positioned circumferentially around the shank. The grooves and notch can be used as adhesive carriers that assist with dispersal of a sufficient volume of the adhesive onto other portions of the shank and the composite fiber assembly during insertion of the hole plug into a hole in the composite fiber assembly.

A composed element, such as a piece of furniture, wherein the composed element comprises at least a rear wall, as well as a number of constructional parts forming a whole in which the rear wall has to be provided. The rear wall forms the rear side of the composed element and includes one or more rear wall parts. The composed element comprises seats for installing at least one of the rear wall parts, which are configured such that the rear wall part can be slid into the seats starting from the rear side of the composed element from a position differing from the final plane in which the rear wall part will be situated in the final condition.

A hinged connection between first and second members (24, 25) which makes use of a fixation pin (1). The fixation pin (1) has a first configuration which enables the pin to be inserted through a first hole in a first member (24), through an aligned intermediate hole in the second member (25) and through an aligned second hole in the first member (24). The fixation pin (1) does not have a screw thread on its exterior surface. The fixation pin (1) after it has been inserted is subject to a treatment which changes it to a second configuration, or the fixation pin spontaneously changes, while it is being inserted through the holes or immediately thereafter, to a second configuration. In the second configuration, part or all of the fixation pin contacts the wall of at least one of the holes, so that the first and second members are connected together at a hinged connection. The invention is particularly useful when the hinged connection is part of an eyeglass assembly, wherein the temple member or the frame member is the first member (24) and the other is the second member (25).

The present patent discloses a backboard fastener, comprising a male buckle and a female buckle; the male buckle and the female buckle are fitted to each other; a plurality of barbs are provided at one end of the male buckle, while a pressing face is provided at the other end thereof; and, a plurality of externally circular barbs are provided on the female buckle, an enlarged opening is provided at one end of the female buckle, and bumps corresponding to the barbs are provided inside the female buckle. The present patent has a simple structure, solves the problem of nail or screw rusting, does not need any mounting tool, and has a plurality of barbs so that falling-off is prevented. The present patent is suitable for components of various thicknesses and various occasions.

A cable tray including a pair of generally parallel spaced-apart side rails, each side rail defining a plurality of openings. Rungs extend between the rails at intervals spaced along the rails. Each rung includes at least two side walls. Each rung has opposite open ends generally aligned with respective openings in the side rails. End portions of each rung define a transverse opening. A plurality of snap plug fasteners fastens the rungs to the side rails. Each snap plug fastener includes a main body abutting an outboard surface of one of the side rails. A projection extends through one of the openings in the side rail and into one of the open ends of one of the rungs. The projection includes a barb received in one of the transverse openings in the rung.

A fastener includes a head configured to be anchored to a part, and a locking member extending from the head to a distal end. The locking member has at least one protrusion spaced from the head, and a tool engaging head at the distal end. In use, the locking member extends through an opening of a panel such that the head is retained on a first side of the panel, the distal end is disposed on a second side of the panel, and the at least one protrusion abuts the second side of the panel to secure the panel to the fastener. The fastener includes a resiliently deformable portion arranged such that rotation of the tool engaging head deforms the resiliently deformable portion and moves the at least one protrusion out of abutment with the second side of the panel to release the panel from the fastener.

Techniques are disclosed relating to a locking pin used to secure components in an electronics module. For example, in some embodiments an electronics module includes a housing lower part that includes a lower receiving element and a housing upper part that includes an upper receiving element that is aligned with the lower receiving element. In various embodiments, a locking pin may be used to connect a circuit board in the electronics module. For example, in some embodiments the circuit board includes at least one lead-through opening and the circuit board is connected to the housing lower part via the locking pin that is inserted in a positive-locking manner through the lead-through opening into the lower receiving element. Further, in some embodiments, an upper pin section of the locking pin may be inserted into an upper receiving element of the housing upper part in a positive-locking manner.

A cushioning member includes a support portion, a first latch portion, a second latch portion, a first connection portion, a second connection portion, a first guide portion and a second guide portion. The first guide portion, the first latch portion, and the first connection portion are arranged opposite to the second connection portion, the second latch portion and the second guide portion on basis of the support portion as a center. When the first and second latch portions are in a relaxed state, a width of the support portion in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction is greater than a width of the first latch portion and a width of the second latch portion in the direction.

A mechanical connection arrangement for panels comprises a first panel and a second panel. A surface of the first panel and a surface of the second panel are parallel and in contact in a locked position of the first and second panels. The connection arrangement includes at least one rod-shaped element at the surface of the first panel and at least one corresponding insertion recess at the surface of the second panel. The connection arrangement includes locking device which comprises locking pin at one end and a spring at another end. An envelope surface of a cone shaped end part of the locking pin comprises a pin locking surface which in the connected state is configured to cooperate with a recess locking surface of a panel recess.

A wiring member is a wiring member including: a wire-like transmission member; a first sheet to which the wire-like transmission member is fixed; and a second sheet, at least a part of which is overlapped with the first sheet, wherein the second sheet has higher rigidness than the first sheet, a holding hole is formed in the second sheet, and the second sheet is held on a fixing target member of a vehicle via a vehicle fixing component inserted into the holding hole.
