In some examples, a housing for an electronic device includes a first housing panel having a plurality of spring-loaded clips, a second housing panel having a plurality of pockets to receive the plurality of spring-loaded clips, and a first fastener on the first housing panel to slidingly engage a second fastener on the second housing panel after the plurality of spring-loaded clips are received in the plurality of pockets.

Couplers for attachment to a protrusion extending outward from a portion of a boat is provided. The coupler may comprise a base having an opening adapted to receive the protrusion, the base having a locked position and an unlocked position. The base being translatable along a first direction between the unlocked position and the locked position. The coupler may further comprise a retainer positioned to hold the base in the locked position; and an accessory support extending outward from the base in a second direction angled relative to the first direction.

A coupling for connecting a circuit board to a mount with a fastener. The mount may be connected to a component. The fastener includes a first snap-fit connection formation for establishing a snap-fit connection with a second snap-fit connection formation provided on the mount. When connected, the fastener clamps the circuit board against the mount. The fastener further includes a first engagement formation configured to engage with a second engagement formation on the mount for bracing the snap-fit connection.

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 air purifier with mount for a vehicle, wherein the air purifier consists of a fan in a portable housing, which has at least one air intake region for sucking air into the housing and at least one air discharge region for blowing the air out of the housing, wherein a cleaned discharge air flow flows out into the passenger compartment, wherein the mount consists of an adapter plate that can be detachably fixed in different positions in the interior of the motor vehicle, and wherein the air purifier is rotatably mounted in the adapter plate.

A system includes knobs on an item of gear and a latch attached to a carrier. Each knob has a neck and a head with a larger diameter. First and second sliders fit into a latch frame. Hooks on the sliders form expandable apertures. To attach, the knob is pushed against the slider hooks to expand the aperture. After the head passes through the aperture, a spring biases the hooks together, so the aperture width is smaller than the head diameter, capturing the knob. A carrier adapter adapts the latch to a carrier. Adapters are available for duty belts, PALS-equipped carriers, and horizontal slots.

A fixing device includes a substrate, a slot, a fixing bracket. The slot is disposed on the substrate, and a first end of an expansion unit is inserted in the slot. The fixing bracket is disposed on the substrate, in which the fixing bracket includes a force receiving upper portion and a supporting lower portion. An accommodating space is defined between the force receiving upper portion and the supporting lower portion. When a force is applied to or released from the force receiving upper portion, the force receiving upper portion elastically deforms or elastically recovers. Therefore, the fixing bracket switches between an open state and a fixing state for enabling the accommodating space to selectively accommodate a second end of the expansion unit.

The invention relates to an assembly part for connecting a dashboard to a body part of a vehicle, the assembly part comprising: a male first portion able to engage with the dashboard, and a female second portion able to engage with the body part of the vehicle via a unidirectional and adjustable approaching movement, the male portion being substantially flat and extending in a longitudinal direction from a first end in contact with the female portion to a hook-shaped free second end, the male portion and/or the female portion being configured to prevent translational movement between the dashboard and the body part when the male portion is engaged with the dashboard and the female portion is engaged with the body part.

The present disclosure relates to a spacer configured to space a first member apart from a second member, and the spacer includes a support component and a spacer component. The support component has a body, which has a support surface for the first member to be put on, and the support component further has a first hook element separated from the support surface by a first distance and a second hook element separated from the support surface by a second distance greater than the first distance. The spacer component is used to be placed between the first member and the second member and to space the first member apart from the second member, and the spacer component can be snap-fitted with the first hook element or the second hook element relational to the thickness of the first member. The present disclosure further relates to a connection system including the spacer for a base station antenna. The spacer is advantageous in cost, compact in structure, and easy to install.

Disclosed are systems and methods for coupling a first panel to a second panel via a fastener. The fastener having a cap, a shank, pair of wings, and one or more PIA-retention features. The shank defines a central longitudinal axis that is substantially perpendicular to the cap. The pair of wings is resiliently coupled to the shank at a distal end thereof. The pair of wings includes a first wing and a second wing, each angled away from the central longitudinal axis. In some examples, the one or more PIA-retention features can be a pair of whiskers resiliently coupled to the shank and angled away from the central longitudinal axis. Each of the pair of whiskers is substantially perpendicular to the central longitudinal axis. In other examples, the one or more PIA-retention features include a first fin resiliently coupled to and angled away from the first wing and a second fin resiliently coupled to and angled away from the second wing. The first fin and the second fin can retain the fastener relative to the first panel.
