Abstract: A stackable U-nut fastener includes first and second spaced arms and a folded edge portion interconnecting the arms. A plurality of U-nut fasteners can be engaged one with another to form a collated strip of fasteners. A collating tab from one arm of one U-nut fasteners engages an opening in an arm of an adjacent U-nut fastener.

Abstract: A self-locking panel nut fastener having a nut for being received within an opening in a panel which self-locks and upon receiving a threaded screw or bolt enhances the locking relationship with the panel.

Abstract: A system for securing a structure to a panel includes a clip assembly. The clip assembly includes an engagement plate secured to at least one strap through at least one curved portion. A central opening is formed through the engagement plate, and at least one strap cavity is formed through the strap(s). At least one extension beam integrally connects to and extends from the strap(s). The extension beam(s) is perpendicular to the strap(s) and the engagement plate in an at-rest position. At least one beam cavity is formed through the extension beam(s). At least one tab is integrally connected to the extension beam(s) through at least one intermediate portion. The tab(s) includes at least one removal hole formed therethrough that is aligned with the strap cavity and a portion of the central opening when the clip assembly is in the at-rest position. The tab is configured to pass into the beam cavity when the clip assembly is urged into a panel hole.

Abstract: A retention clip includes a generally cylindrical main portion having a leading end configured to pass into a hole of a panel, at least one retaining tab extending from the main portion, and at least one spring member extending from the main portion. The at least one retaining tab and the at least one spring member are configured to compressively sandwich a portion of the panel therebetween.

Abstract: A hinge assembly includes a door hinge housing configured to be mounted to a door, a body hinge housing configured to be mounted to a stationary object, and a check assembly including a spring. The body hinge housing is pivotally secured to the door hinge housing. The check assembly is covered by at least one of the door hinge housing and the body hinge housing.

Abstract: A fastener system for mounting to a panel includes a twist-in fastener that rotatably engages an opening in the panel. The fastener includes a fastener body defining an opening extending through the fastener body for receiving a mating fastener, a plurality of facets positioned around the fastener body opening for facilitating the mounting of the fastener onto the panel, and a fastener base. Panel-engaging members extend outwardly from the fastener base to rotatably mount the fastener through the panel opening and onto the panel. At least one anti-rotation member also extends outwardly from the fastener base to prevent the mounted fastener from backing out of the panel opening upon the removal of the mating fastener.
