Patents Assigned to ITW Metal Fasteners S.L.
  • Patent number: 10926810
    Abstract: The fastening device includes a nut (1) and a screw (2) coupled by being screwed together, the screw (2) being movable with respect to the nut (1), wherein the screw (2) comprises a head (3) provided with a washer (4) able to tilt in any adjustment direction, the axis of the washer (4) able to move within an angle by tilting with respect to the axis of the screw (2). A fastening method includes the steps of vertically introducing the fastening device in a polygonal hole until a seal (6) butts against the roof of the vehicle, and rotating the device in a counterclockwise direction until it butts against the same. The fastening device allows a function of adjustment to be carried out and compensates for the lack of parallelism and tolerance between the fastened accessory and the body of the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 8474111
    Abstract: Improvements to panel fastening clips, especially to those used in curtain and/or lateral airbags, of the kinds of clips that are formed by a surface and/or several flexing arms that are designed to be located in the outer part of the panel into whose opening they are inserted, including several feet that are more or less elastic and that tend to converge at their ends in the general shape of an inverted “V” in the direction in which the clip is inserted, as well as several wings whose ends work against the lower surface of said panel and which ensure that said clip is fastened to said panel, characterized by the fact that the ends of said wings have an enlarged working surface against the lower surface of said panel.

  • Patent number: 8230556
    Abstract: A clamp includes a flat strip whose ends coil onto themselves in the shape of a ring and are fastened by a retaining pawl and a hook that are coupled in a retaining bridge and an orifice, respectively, for a further constriction of the clamp, that is brought to its optimal tightening position by pliers or other appropriate tools through tightening and deformation of the clamp bridge, which bridge is provided with a deformation that imparts said bridge greater inertial resistance and that in such tightening and advance movement of one end underneath the other an engagement has been provided for both ends by a tongue located at one end and a recess at the other end of the strip.

  • Publication number: 20100310338
    Abstract: This invention describes a speed nut that is formed by three surfaces, a lower surface that is a coupling washer to be pressed against the panel or protective device to which it is attached, an intermediate or base surface, and a final surface that is formed by an arm which, folded back on itself, covers the center of the nut. These surfaces have central holes whose centers are vertically aligned. The nut of the invention has a double screw thread, which consists of the conventional thread of the surface or upper arm and of another thread that is present on the base surface. Both screw threads are created by means of cuts that produce independent flanges of different sizes which together form a helical outline that is designed to mate with the corresponding threading of the screw or bolt that will pass through said nut.
