Patent number: 11221030Abstract: The invention relates to a device for holding a head of a pin of a component, said device having a receiving space which defines an opening via which the head of the pin can be inserted; a spring element disposed in the receiving space; and a path limiter which is disposed in the receiving space. The spring element has a receptacle for the head of the pin of the component, and the straight line which connects the geometric center point of the opening to the geometric center point of the receptacle forms a reference line. A curved or bent receiving section of a spring arm of the spring element is provided as part of the receptacle. The receiving section has at least one distance point which is arranged furthest from the reference line than other points along the extension of the curved or bent receiving section.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2018Date of Patent: January 11, 2022Assignee: A. Raymond et CieInventors: Axel Rhein, Thomas Eckert, Florian Herrbach

Patent number: 9816542Abstract: An anchoring device has an insert sleeve and an expanding rivet. The insert sleeve is anchorable in an insert recess of a support part via engagement tongues. In a final assembly configuration, spreading arms of the expansion rivet are situated in arm clearances of the insert sleeve by the action of an expansion shank of a rivet pin, and are engaged with retaining edges of the insert sleeve. In this manner, the mounting part is removably connected to the support part with the expansion shank removable from the rivet body by releasing the spreading arms from the insert sleeve in order to release the connection.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2014Date of Patent: November 14, 2017Assignee: A. RAYMOND ET CIEInventor: Axel Rhein

Patent number: 7780137Abstract: A device for fastening a rectangular sensor to a support part has a base plate (2) in which a receiving recess (3) is made. Guide walls (6, 7) are integrally formed on mutually opposite edge sides (4, 5) of the receiving recess (3), said guide walls extending between two corner regions (18, 20; 19, 21) of the receiving recess (3), which corner regions end an edge side (4, 5). Furthermore, stop parts (10, 11) which are shorter than the length of the guide walls (6, 7) are integrally formed on the other edge sides (8, 9), in each case in the central region thereof, the stop parts each having at least one stop section (26) oriented at right angles to the base plate (2), wherein the guide sections (22) and the stop sections (26) bear against a wall of the sensor when the sensor is fitted. As a result, even sensors of relatively large dimensions can be fastened to the support part in a stable and accurately fitting manner with relatively little expenditure on material.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2007Date of Patent: August 24, 2010Assignee: A.
