  • Patent number: 8845003
    Abstract: A snap-in fastener is provided for securing a vehicle component to a vehicle structure. The fastener comprises a base having a longitudinal axis, a first leg extending downwardly and outwardly from the base and configured to apply a force to the vehicle structure in a first direction, and a second leg extending downwardly from the base and configured to apply a force to the vehicle structure in a second direction that is substantially opposite the first direction. The first leg may have a first portion extending from the base at a first angle relative to the longitudinal axis and a second portion extending from the first portion at a second angle relative to the longitudinal axis that is different than the first angle. The first leg may also have a foot having a contact surface with an inwardly extending profile for engaging an edge of the vehicle structure.

  • Patent number: 6422524
    Abstract: A garment hook assembly includes a housing which can be injection molded and includes two halves hinged together for surrounding and receiving a retractable garment hook. The housing halves each include an arcuate slot which align with one another when the housing is folded over the garment hook to a closed position for receiving a pair of laterally extending spaced pins extending from the hook into the arcuate slots of the housing for guiding the translation motion of the garment hook along a nonlinear arcuate path as it extends from and retracts into the housing.
