CONNECTION ASSEMBLY

A connection assembly includes first and second components joinable along an axis of relative movement, starting from a separated disassembled state, into an interconnected assembled state, and transferable back into the disassembled state. The first component has a latching element and the second component has a latching element receptacle which cooperates with latching portions of the latching element in the assembled state. The latching portions are offset relative to each other when viewed in a circumferential direction, and are each movable along a movement path starting from a non-deformed rest state. A first portion of the movement path points in a disassembly direction, and a second portion of the movement path points in an assembly direction opposite the disassembly direction. The first portion of the movement path is limited by a stop against which the latching element rests in a course of disassembling the components.

20220322603 · 2022-10-13 ·

The autonomous travel working machine includes a working body unit, a cover unit, and a connecting structure unit connecting the working body unit and the cover unit. The connecting structure unit includes a body connecting section attached to the working body unit and a cover connecting section attached to the cover unit. When the cover unit is lifted, a shaft portion of the cover unit is slid upwardly with respect to a head portion of the working body unit so that the cover unit is moved upwardly or lifted with respect to the working body unit. When the working machine hits against an obstacle, an intermediate portion of the body connecting section is resiliently deformed in a lateral direction so that the cover unit is moved with respect to the working body unit substantially only in the lateral direction.

Captive screw

A captive screw, comprising: a screw; a press fit nut, to connect to an opening on a device and to accept a screw, including: a bottom portion, to extend through the opening; a top portion; and a middle portion, wherein the middle portion is smaller in circumference than the top portion and the bottom portion; and a sleeve including a protrusion, wherein the sleeve fits over the screw and attaches to the press fit nut via the protrusion.

CONNECTOR
20220325739 · 2022-10-13 ·

A connector having a head that holds a first component and a body connected to the head. The body has a central channel extending along a central axis of the connector, and the central channel receives a fastener. The body has at least two resilient legs. The resilient legs extend obliquely toward the central axis in a direction from the body to the head. The at least two resilient legs engage with the fastener, to attach the connector to the fastener.

Heavy duty fastening assembly with installation verification
11603873 · 2023-03-14 · ·

The present disclosure provides a fastening assembly for attachment of a component. The fastening assembly is self-locking, and comprises a housing that presents a barcode, and a retention clip that is configured to form an interlock with the housing and is changeable between an open configuration adapted to freely receive a component, and a closed position adapted to capture and retain the component. The retention clip is slideably moveable within an aperture of the housing between an initial position, in which the retention clip is in the open configuration and the barcode is unreadable, and a final position, in which the retention clip is in the closed configuration and allows for the barcode to be read or scanned to verify installation of the fastening assembly on the component.
