    摘要: An anchoring structure for components such as a ball-stud grommet includes a head and a plurality of retention legs defining lips in spaced, confronting relationship with a surface of the head. The legs are arranged in a circle and are provided in sufficient number and in sufficiently close spaced relation that at least one leg on opposite sides engage edges of a slot for any rotational position of the fastener relative to the slot.

    摘要: A reusable plastic fastener has an elongated shank having two flexible curved flanges secured thereto and a head secured to a central portion of the shank. The flanges are secured at a leading edge to the central portion and curve away to terminate in a trailing edge that is unsupported between a distal end and a base of the central portion. A top edge of each of the flanges is secured to the head of the fastener by a tab. The exterior of the flexible flanges extends outwardly away from the central portion beginning at the distal end of the central portion and is angled back in towards the central portion near the base of the central portion so as to form a shoulder between the flexible flanges and the head of the fastener. The central portion of the shank has at least one cored-out section.

    摘要: A fastening clip with a flexible tether for use with a vehicle includes a first fastener attached to a component such as a vehicle body, and a second fastener attached to a removable component such as a vehicle trim panel. The first and second fasteners may be connected by generally rigid arms joined by an integral hinge and by at least one flexible tether capable of elongating and contracting. The hinged arms and tether provide multiple means to prevent the trim section from freely detaching from the vehicle body and becoming a projectile following deployment of an air bag from behind the trim panel. In addition, the rigid arms cause the trim panel to move in a controlled arc. A further aspect of the invention provides a tether that is capable of stretching to allow unimpeded air bag deployment followed by contracting to pull the trim panel back towards its original position on the vehicle body.

    摘要: A w-base fastener that may be used in many applications, including numerous applications throughout the automotive industry, combines the functionality of a w-base fastener with the serviceability of other fasteners. The w-base fastener of the invention provides the ability to service the w-base fastener without damaging the panel or hole in which the fastener is inserted. This is accomplished by incorporating a secondary connection into the w-base fastener. This secondary connection permits the fastener to be easily extracted by providing a technique for pulling the legs of the w-base fastener inward prior to extraction of the fastener from the hole.

    摘要: A rib clip for connecting first and second components is provided with first and second legs deflectable relative to each other. One leg is substantially straight and includes a shelf. The other leg is bent and includes inner and outer arms biased against a component held between the legs. The rib clip is inserted in a window of the other component, which compresses the legs toward each other, securing the first and second components relative to each other.
