Publication number: 20160230791Abstract: A fastener for two operating states has a receptacle with a receiving aperture and first fastening means for attachment to a first component. An insertion part with a pin-like plug-in section has, at a fastening end opposite the insertion end, second fastening means for attaching a second component, and can be inserted into the receiving aperture of the receptacle. In a first fastening state, the plug-in section is inserted deep into the receiving aperture and releasably connected to the receptacle by latching first retaining means, which are designed such that the insertion part can be displaced by a release force into a second fastening state. In the second fastening state, the insertion part engages with the plug-in section less deeply in the receiving aperture and is secured in the receiving aperture by second retaining means.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 14, 2016Publication date: August 11, 2016Inventors: Jens ALBACH, Hans-Peter SENG, Matthias HANFT

Patent number: 8334045Abstract: A wrapping tape for automatically circumferentially wrapping an axially extending article, in particular a cable or a cable loom, the tape suitable for wrapping around the article and then tautened and joined to itself in an overlapping manner by a joining tool. The wrapping tape comprises a core with a contact area, which is designed to rest on the article; and tabs protruding laterally from the core. A tab forms such an angle with the contact area that the joining tool can engage behind the tab when the tape is wrapped tightly around the article, and without the tool engaging behind the contact area, while tabs of overlapping tape portions are joined to one another.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2010Date of Patent: December 18, 2012Assignee: Newfrey LLCInventors: Harald Schaety, Mario Stigler, Hans-Peter Seng, Wolfgang Gerlach

Patent number: 8220762Abstract: A mounting clip for mounting a component on a supporting part having an aperture includes a head section for attaching the component. A shank section is insertable in the aperture. At least two latching fingers are resiliently held apart from the head section on opposite shank section sides which spread outward toward the head section. At free ends the latching fingers have latching surfaces that rest against a supporting part underside when the mounting clip is inserted in the aperture. The shank section has on one side which extends perpendicular to the sides having the latching fingers, a contact surface that is supported on the aperture inner edge, and has on the side opposite the contact surface an elastically resilient rib or tongue that is supported with a preload against the aperture inner edge after the mounting clip is placed in the aperture.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2010Date of Patent: July 17, 2012Assignee: Newfrey LLCInventors: Mario Stigler, Hans Peter Seng

Patent number: 8210483Abstract: A fastening element for fastening a longitudinally extending article, in particular a cable or a cable loom, which is to be fixed to a component, in particular to a motor vehicle body part, with a wrapping tape. The fastening element comprising a body including a first cheek element, a second cheek element, and at least two connection struts which connect the cheek elements to one another in a longitudinal direction of the body, and which define an opening for receiving the tape. The tape is insertable into the opening substantially transversely to the longitudinal direction, in order to circumferentially wrap the article with the wrapping tape.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2010Date of Patent: July 3, 2012Assignee: Newfrey LLCInventors: Harald Schaety, Mario Stigler, Hans-Peter Seng, Wolfgang Gerlach

Patent number: 8146491Abstract: A method and apparatus for automatically circumferentially wrapping a cable with a wrapping tape connectable to a fastener, wherein the apparatus comprises: a gripper device with movable jaws, a joining tool, a first feeder; a second feeder, and a control device. The jaws permit the fastener and the wrapping tape to be circumferentially guided around the cable. The joining tool joins overlapping portions of the tape, and is adapted to join the tape separately to the fastener. The first feeder advances tape to the gripper device during the wrapping operation and retracts the tape during tautening. The second feeder feeds the fastener to the gripper device. The control device locks the fastener in a predefined circumferential position relative to the cable, and causes the first feeder to advance the tape forward relative to the fastener by a predefined tape length.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2010Date of Patent: April 3, 2012Assignee: Newfrey LLCInventors: Harald Schaety, Mario Stigler, Hans-Peter Seng, Wolfgang Gerlach
