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.

Disclosed is a clip for fastening a first element to a second element, wherein the clip has a head, a tip, a first clip side, and a second clip side. The first clip side extends from the head along a longitudinal axis in the direction of the tip, and the second clip side extends from the head along the longitudinal axis in the direction of the tip and has a clip surface protruding from the first clip side. The clip surface can be moved, under the tension of a spring, from a first position into a position located closer to the longitudinal axis than the first position. The head surface merges into a first side wall via a first bending section which is bent around a first bending axis, wherein the first bending axis is at an angle of >0° to <180° to the longitudinal axis.

A fastener or grommet is configured to securely clamp together one or more components. The fastener includes a body having a longitudinal axis and at least one wall. The body further includes two arms extending from the body on opposite sides at a flexure joint. Each of the arms includes a feedback feature that causes hesitation in the fastener during installation. The feedback feature further comprises an arched profile that extends the entire width of each of the arms.

A clip is structured for coupling together a first component and a second component. The clip includes a body portion and an opposing wall residing opposite and spaced apart from the body portion. At least one connecting member spans a space between the body portion and the opposing wall to connect the body portion and the opposing wall. The at least one connecting member is structured to enable resilient movement of each of the body portion and the opposing wall with respect to the other one of the body portion and the opposing wall responsive to a force acting on the body portion and/or a force acting on the opposing wall.

Disclosed are systems and methods for coupling a first panel to a second panel via a fastening system. The fastening system comprises fastener and a doghouse structure. The fastener includes a head assembly coupled to a collar. The collar is configured to pass through and to retain the second panel via an opening formed in the second panel. The doghouse structure defines a chamber that is configured to receive and secure the head assembly. The doghouse structure is positioned on the first panel and is configured to pass at least partially through the opening.

The present disclosure provides a wire harness in which the occurrence of abnormal sound is suppressed. This wire harness (10) comprises: a cable (11); a plurality of band clips (12) which are attached to the cable (11) and are for wiring the cable (11) with respect to an external component; and a cushion sheet (13) which is more flexible than the band clips (12) and covers the individual band clips (12). The cushion sheet (13) comprises: an insertion hole (45) provided on one longitudinal end side; and an insertion section (46) provided to the other longitudinal end side. The insertion section (46) has: a base end section (47) corresponding to the width of the insertion hole (45); and an intermediate section (49) that is positioned closer to the other longitudinal end side than the base end section (47) and has a greater width than the base end section (47).

A fastening device, configured for interlocking attachment in a through-opening of a structural element, wherein the fastening device comprises a contact surface for contact on a first side of the structural element delimiting the through-opening as well as at least one first latching tab and at least one second latching tab, wherein the latching tabs each have at least one latching projection, wherein the latching projections are configured to engage behind the through-opening on a second side of the structural element delimiting the through-opening, wherein the distance of the latching projection of the second latching tab from the contact surface is greater than the corresponding distance in the case of the first latching tab. The fastening device can be, in particular, part of a container, for example of a coolant expansion tank, of a motor vehicle and the structural element part of a body of the motor vehicle.

An improved cable routing fastener is provided. The cable routing fastener includes a base portion having an integral torsion element and includes a clip, for example a fir-tree clip, integrally joined to the torsion element. The torsion element includes first and second torsion bars on opposing sides of the rotatable clip, such that clip is rotatable relative to the base portion from a first position to a second position in response to an applied torque. The clip extends laterally outward from the base portion in the first position and extends downward from the base portion in the second position. The base portion and the clip are co-molded in the first position as a unitary article, with the clip being manually rotatable into the second position for attachment to an object, for example a vehicle panel or a vehicle pillar.

A ventilation component 1 includes a ventilation path 10 for allowing ventilation between an inner space 2u and an outer space 2s of a housing 2. The ventilation path 10 is a path for allowing ventilation between the internal space 2u and the outer space 2s when the ventilation component 1 is attached to an edge 2f. The ventilation component 1 includes a supporting portion 12, a gas-permeable membrane 11, a protruding portion 13, and a sealing member 14. The supporting portion 12 surrounds the ventilation path 10. The gas-permeable membrane 11 is bonded to the supporting portion 12 and closes the ventilation path 10 in a ventilatable manner. The protruding portion 13 is a part having a tubular shape, the part being arranged to protrude from the supporting portion 12 and surround one end of the ventilation path 10, the part being configured to be in contact with the edge 2f when the ventilation component 1 is attached to the edge 2f. The ventilation component 1 satisfies requirements 2.5≤Gs/Gt≤5.0 and 1.0≤{(Gs−Gt)/2}/Lt≤3.0.
