A detachable coupling arrangement (1) for connecting a handle (2) to a utensil comprises a male portion (5), a female portion (4) adapted to receive the male portion (5), and a stop element (6) for preventing movement of the male portion (5) relative to the female portion (4) in an upward direction (A) A first retention element and a resiliently deformable second retention element (8) are configured to cooperate to prevent movement in a downward direction (B) when the female portion (4) is coupled to the male portion (5). The first retention element includes a retention surface and a lower surface (23). The second retention element (8) engages the lower surface (23), as the male portion (5) is received in the female portion (4) in the upward direction, and resiliently deforms so that the second retention element (8) locates over the first retention element and abuts against the retention surface.

A system and method including a fastener clip, the fastener clip including one or more pairs of laterally offset legs joined at a head portion. The legs form a clip opening at an opposite end of the head portion. The fastener clip also includes a pair of arms coupled to the head portion, the arms being configured to move substantially independently from the pair of legs. The fastener clip also includes a pair of projections each attached at the ends of each of the arms. The projections are configured to engage an opening of a blade over which the fastener clip is configured to be coupled to the blade at least based upon the fastener clip being placed over the blade.

A push-on fastener including: a conductive, annular push-on fastener body including a major surface and a radial edge defining a peripheral surface, the push-on fastener body forming an aperture defining a central axis; and a non-conductive sliding layer overlying the major surface of the push-on fastener body, where the major surface includes a void area free of non-conductive sliding layer adapted to contact an inner component or an outer component so as to provide electrical conductivity between the push-on fastener and a neighboring component.

A conveying device includes a quick fastener that connects a profiled element to a machine frame's base support and that supports a sliding strip on which a conveying element slides as it circulates around deflection elements to form a loop and conveys goods along a transport direction.

An extension adapter of a plug-in coupling, with which a free space between a male coupling element and a female coupling element can be bridged in a connecting manner and which comprises the following features: a male coupling end which can be inserted into the female coupling element, a female coupling end in which the male coupling element can be received and which is connected to the male coupling end via an intermediate piece, and a locking element which is displaceably arranged in the axial direction of the extension adapter and with which, in a locking position surrounding the female coupling end, the release of a male coupling element from the female coupling end is prevented.

An inner housing defines a pin retaining receptacle elongated in an X-direction with entry ramps extending parallel to the X-direction. The inner housing is slidably coupled to an outer housing and extends into an interior thereof. The pair of inner housing retaining surfaces can engage the pair of cooperating inner housing retaining surfaces, with the pin retaining receptacle of the inner housing extending into the interior of the outer housing, to slidably couple the inner housing and the outer housing together while permitting movement of the inner housing relative to the outer housing in a Y-direction in response to the inner housing moving in the Y-direction during insertion of the pin into the pin retaining receptacle. Associated methods are also disclosed.

An inner housing defines a pin retaining receptacle elongated in an X-direction with entry ramps extending parallel to the X-direction. The inner housing is slidably coupled to an outer housing and extends into an interior thereof. Centering protrusions of one housing can engage the other housing to initially retain the pin retaining receptacle of the inner housing in a central position within the interior of the outer housing in the Y-direction prior to insertion of the pin into the pin retaining receptacle. The other housing can be movable against the centering protrusion to permit the pin retaining receptacle of the inner housing to move out of the central position in the Y-direction in response to engagement of the pin against the entry ramps during insertion of the pin into the pin retaining receptacle.

A fluid container for releasable connection to a vehicle component, wherein the fluid container has at least one fastening lug with an opening which is aligned with a plug-through opening in the vehicle component and the connection is secured by a locking pin which can be extended into the plug-through opening and the opening and/or opening and can be locked in an end position by a rectilinear plug-in movement in a plug-in direction; in order to increase the load-bearing capacity of the connection and to simplify the installation, it is proposed that the fastening lug has a locking device which is arranged in alignment with the respective opening and the locking device includes at least two elastically resilient tabs which act in a latching manner on a thickened locking portion of the locking pin and thereby secure the locking pin in its axial direction.

A retention ring is configured to retain components within a transmission assembly. The retention ring has an annular main body defining an opening through a center thereof. The annular main body defines an outer curved surface and an inner curved surface, the annular main body having a distal face disposed in a distal plane and a proximal face disposed in a proximal plane. A first set of retention features extend from the inner curved surface, and a second set of retention features from the outer curved surface. One of the sets of retention features is configured to engage a backing plate or an outer member, and at least one of the sets of retention features is entirely disposed between the proximal plane and the distal plane. A transmission assembly includes the retention ring and an adjacent external snap ring.

A stud-mount insert configured to be releasably retained by a mounting-tab of a wire-tray assembly. The stud-mount insert includes a flange and a body configured to rotate about a longitudinal-axis of a mounting-stud. The flange is configured to overlay an aperture defined by the mounting-tab such that the mounting-stud extends through the aperture into the body. The flange is further configured to engage a top-surface of the mounting-tab proximate a perimeter of the aperture.
