The invention relates to a holder arrangement for holding routing media, such as a cable or the like to a support structure. The holder arrangement comprises a spacer being configured for attachment to the support structure, and a bracket comprising a routing media supporting portion and a spacer receiving portion for holding the spacer. The spacer receiving portion comprises an inner wall which is provided with a bracket axial locking arrangement configured for mating with corresponding spacer axial locking arrangement to axially lock the bracket in relation to the spacer.

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.

An aircraft assembly includes a first body connected to a second body via a flexible coupling that limits separation of the bearing faces while permitting relative rotational movement between the bodies. The flexible coupling includes one or more first flexible straps attached to the first side of the first body and attached to the second side of the second body, and one or more second flexible straps attached to the second side of the first body and attached to the first side of the second body. The bearing faces include planar central portions to react compressive loads while the parts are aligned, and convex outer rolling surfaces to react loads during rotational movement between the bodies, such that a point of contact between the first body and the second body moves along curves of the respective curved end regions during the rotational movement between the bodies.

A joined body includes: a thin plate including through holes; first members each including: a base portion and a protruding portion inserted into one of the through holes; and a second member placed oppositely to the base portion via the thin plate and made of a material that is of a same kind as a material of the first members. The thin plate is made of a material having a specific gravity smaller than the materials of the first and the second members. The second member and an end portion of the protruding portion are connected together by melt-solidification. A post-joining hardness difference in a range of 30% along a direction orthogonal to a joint interface between the second member and the protruding portion, the range being centered on the joint interface, is equal to or less than 90% of a pre-joining hardness difference.

Bonding clips used to electrically bond metal structures are provided. The bonding clips include an electrically conductive body, an electrically conductive first leg, an electrically conductive second leg and an electrically conductive mounting member. The first leg has one or more piercing members extending from the first leg in a first direction. The second leg has one or more piercing embers extending from the second leg in a first direction. The one or more piercing members are provided to penetrate protective coatings on metal structures so that the one or more piercing members contact the underlying metal.

A skin locking clip that is firmly supported by a pad is provided. The skin locking clip (10) is disposed in a groove (8) of a pad (5) of a vehicle seat or the like, and fixes a locked portion (6c) attached to a skin material. The skin locking clip (10) includes a base plate (11), a locking piece (12) erected on the base plate (11) to lock the locked portion (6c), and an overhanging piece (13) erected on the base plate. Since the overhanging piece (13) is supported by the pad (5), the skin locking clip (10) is firmly supported by the pad (5).

The system includes a rail mountable to a wall, such as a wall along a hallway in a medical care environment. A cart movable along a floor adjacent to the wall is fitted with an anchor. The anchor is located at the rail, the anchor configured so that it releasably engages the rail, so that the cart can be secured to the rail when not in use. In at least some embodiments, a power source is located within the rail and a power coupler is provided on the cart which is adjacent to the power source in the rail and electrically coupled to the power source, for transmission of power from the power source in the rail to the cart, when of the anchor on the cart is attached to the rail. Thus, the cart is both anchored and recharged simultaneously in such embodiments.

Problem: To provide a fastener that facilitates attachment of a string and makes it unlikely for the attached string to come off. Solution: The fastener according to one aspect of the present invention is a fastener for fastening a string-like body to an article, and includes a slit opening part for inserting the string-like body, and a string-like body holding part which communicates with the slit opening part and holds the string-like body inserted from the slit opening part. The string-like body holding part extends in the left and right directions from the slit opening part, a surface of the string-like body holding part facing the slit opening part is smooth, and a projecting part is provided at a position adjacent to the slit opening part on the surface of the string-like body holding part.

A method includes: mounting a rail on a wall; mounting a fixture on the rail by interlocking a channel of the fixture to the rail; removing the fixture from the rail; and mounting a replacement fixture on the rail by interlocking a channel of the replacement fixture to the rail. An apparatus has: a rail with a wall contacting base side, an exterior side, and a beam formed on the exterior side; a fixture with a base side, an exterior side, and a channel formed on the base side; and in which the channel forms a female profile that reversibly interlocks via a snap fit to a male profile formed by the beam to reversibly mount the fixture on the rail, with respective longitudinal axes of the beam and the channel extending in respective axial directions along the rail. The fixture and rail may retain a panel over the substrate.
